Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 112 Unequal Treaties! A Top-Quality Beast with Soft Spots All Over Its Body!
Xiao Ma took out a file and handed it to Lin Xingzhuo.

Lin Xingzhuo noticed the background check details of Zhou Yun's family relationships in her resume.

My wife is a beautiful woman from Jiangxi Province. She graduated from Hongcheng Normal School with a major in early childhood education. She is beautiful and kind-hearted. She worked in Wancheng for five years, working as a community clinic nurse for one year and an Agricultural Bank teller for six months.

She returned to her hometown, met Zhou Yun through a blind date, got married because she was pregnant, and raised money through consumer loans.

The woman has a younger brother who just dropped out of vocational school and wants to work in an office in Beijing after graduation. Additionally, her parents are in poor health and want to come to Beijing to stay for an extended period and receive medical treatment.

Lin Xingzhuo became interested and asked a few more questions in detail.

A 100 million yuan mortgage, 36 years old, baby due soon, wife doesn't earn much, from a rural family, honest personality, strong business and technical skills...

Holy crap! This nuclear-powered donkey is so weak it's practically defenseless!
They're the absolute best of the best! The finest of the best!
Lin Xingzhuo saw a resemblance to her past life...

To be precise, it was even worse. At least in my previous life, I didn't have the three major burdens of children, mortgage, and car loan, so I could just relax in the later stages of my life.

Avoid the three major items!

What's your biggest worry in life? What to eat? Where to go tomorrow?
He lived a carefree life for decades, and now he's old, spending the last ten years or so in solitude...

Consider it punishment!

This is Lin Xingzhuo's summary of the leading versions of Japanese and Korean films and television dramas after reviewing and analyzing so many of them...

…………

Money flows to those who don't lack money, while hardship is left to those who can endure it.
Lin Xingzhuo sighed, lit a classic Xiangshan cigarette, took a couple of puffs to calm himself down, and said, "Hey, if he does well these past two months, give him a raise."

Xiao Ma nodded and said, "Okay."

Lin Xingzhuo took another drag of his cigarette and said, "Youqian, do any of your classmates specialize in divorce legal consulting? That might be a source of cases for you in the future..."

Upon hearing about the case, Zhang Youqian's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "I have a lawyer's license! I can learn too!"

Lin Xingzhuo: “…”

…………

A dozen minutes later, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a few strands of hair stuck to his forehead with sweat, puffy and dark circles under his eyes, rushed over carrying a pile of document folders.

"Mr. Lin, Chairman Shen asked me to keep this a secret. That's why I haven't told you about the situation here."

"The weekly and monthly reports on daily management, as well as the annual budget, have all been compiled into a booklet. The original receipts and visa documents are archived in the document room on the basement floor."

"Here is a summary of the operations of our Fudi Capital No. 1 Apartment. Please take a look."

Lin Xingzhuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "annual budget" and "business overview".

Real-life versions of Love Landlord and Pretty Tenant are definitely fun.

But reality isn't a game...

This top-of-the-line standard for commercial and residential renovations, maintenance personnel, utilities, and labor services, especially in Beijing, is just too expensive!
The artist management department of Tiger Shadow Star Brilliance Culture Media Co., Ltd. is the complete opposite of the animation business department.

The artist management department follows a small but elite approach, currently having only three artists, and with Mao Xiaotong joining soon, there will be only four people...

Damn it! !
Can the rent cover the costs?!

…………

Lin Xingzhuo was a little worried that all the little bit of wealth he had saved up would probably be poured into this invincible black hole.

As Lin Xingzhuo was feeling uneasy, Zhou Yun, the property manager of Hong Kong Union Property, handed him another contract and said:

"Mr. Lin, this is the Tiger Shadow Star Celebrity Apartment Rental Contract drafted by Chairman Shen's legal counsel, Attorney Xu."

Lin Xingzhu waved his hand and said, "Youqian, take a look."

Zhang Youqian was stunned. Could it be that she had been caught up in a power struggle at the highest levels?
No way!
Senior Xu Zhixia is a top student at our alma mater, one of the top ten outstanding college students in Beijing, and a legendary figure who is the youngest student at our school to pass the bar exam!
I just joined the company and I'm already going to have to go head-to-head with the senior female colleague?!
Zhang Youqian was a little hesitant and whispered, "Um... okay, let me see... actually I don't know much about law... that exam... I used the emergency legislative power..." Zhang Youqian opened the contract folder and first looked at the boundaries of obligations and liability for breach of contract.

…………

If no notice of non-renewal is received from the property owner before the contract expires, the contract will be automatically renewed...

Um... an unequal treaty? A hegemonic clause?
It reads a bit awkwardly... This is...

Tiger Shadow Culture has leased the entire apartment building for 45 years, with the fees settled annually.

The rent for a single room is based on the average price of executive suites in five-star hotels in the CBD, Wangfujing and Financial Street areas of that year, plus 70%.

The usage fee for the common living areas will be 25% higher than the average rental price of business venues such as the Bird's Nest, the National Convention Center, and the China World Hotel in the past.

The right to final interpretation of this contract rests with the property owner.

What?! A reverse unequal treaty?!
........................

After reading the contract and hearing Zhang Youqian's explanation, Lin Xingzhuo felt reassured.

What kind of apartment is this?

She's a hen that lays golden eggs!
Property manager Zhou Yun led everyone on a tour of each floor.

The first five floors are public service areas, complemented by a coffee shop, private cinema, recording studio, gym, swimming pool, film archive, and rehabilitation area.

The top four floors are residential areas. The top floor has a green rooftop terrace, and the basement level contains a document room, storage room, and a garage that is currently under renovation.

…………

After touring the apartments, we returned to the hotel lobby and began the room assignment process.

Mao Xiaotong saw that Lin Xingzhuo's room card indicated the ninth floor, but she didn't see the exact room number.

While I was debating whether to be bold and ask, I figured I'd pack my things tomorrow and move in the day after...

I can now stay in the room next to someone else!!!
But if a girl is too proactive, isn't that a bit too cheap...?

It’s so confusing!

How to do it?

Should we wait two more days before bringing it up?

…………

While Mao Xiaotong was still deep in thought, hesitating about how to start the conversation.

But they overlooked the key mechanics of this silly game of love!
While sincerity might lead to giving away your heart, hesitation guarantees defeat!
…………

A girl carrying a bright orange suitcase, followed by an assistant carrying pots, pans, and cardboard boxes, rushed into the hotel lobby and came into everyone's view!
The girl's cheap vest was soaked with sweat at the neckline, sticking to the hollow of her collarbone and rising and falling with her rapid breathing.

A strand of sweaty hair clung to her flushed cheek as she looked up at him, her chest heaving and revealing the curves beneath her clothes.

It's like throwing a red-hot branding iron into a tank of ice water.

It instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the apartment lobby!
The edge of the suitcase brushed against the side of her shirt, revealing a section of her honey-colored skin, and the black lace trim was showing through the low-waisted edge of her jeans.

"Ha! Brother Zhuo!! You really did come today!"

Which room did you choose?

"I'm moving in today, I want to live next door to you!!!"
