Chapter 4: A Beauty Has Arrived

The next morning.

Liu Na arrived at work looking depressed.

Last night, her brother Liu Qi was arrested, the evidence solid.

I heard that, even the best lawyer would be useless.

Before the incident, she and her mother He Guifang still thought Liu Qi would settle things, and they could get a large sum of money from Lin Feng.

Afterwards they could live a luxurious life.

They even planned what type of apartment to buy in the city centre, where to get a beauty card, and what brand of luxury car to purchase.

As a result, Liu Qi hadn't settled the matter, and he himself was arrested first.

Sitting at the computer, Liu Na wearily opened it, preparing to focus and finish the copy in hand.

Suddenly —

"Bang~"

The office's Da Men was shoved open forcefully.

A woman in her thirties stormed in aggressively.

Everyone in the office widened their eyes, staring astonished at the woman.

The woman glanced around and quickly spotted Liu Na.

Her expression turned ferocious; she strode over to Liu Na and grabbed her hair.

"You shameless fox spirit, I'll beat you to death!"

"Slap!"

The woman shouted and slapped Liu Na hard.

Liu Na finally came to her senses and grappled with the woman.

The woman who hit Liu Na was Manager Zhou's wife, Li Lan.

Li Lan had just woken up when she received several clips of her husband embracing Liu Na as they entered and exited a hotel.

Li Lan was already hot‑tempered; after watching the video,

she gave no thought to the consequences and angrily came to the company.

The situation blew up!

This company isn't one that Manager Zhou and Li Lan opened.

The company soon announced the disciplinary decision regarding Liu Na and Manager Zhou.

Both had seriously violated company regulations, causing the company great negative impact.

Liu Na was fired outright.

Manager Zhou not only lost his job but also had to pay a large compensation for the company's reputational loss.

"Boss, everything's taken care of…"

Zhao Xiaoyang appeared before Lin Feng and gave a report.

"Xiaoyang, you've worked hard!"

Lin Feng laughed and said.

Zhao Xiaoyang gave a simple smile, 'If nothing else, I'll head back.'

"Good!" Lin Feng nodded.

Zhao Xiaoyang turned and left.

Zhao Xiaoyang isn't talkative; whenever Lin Feng has something, he'll have it done immediately upon instruction.

Actually, Lin Feng didn't know that his recently deceased parents had shown great kindness to Aunt Wang and Zhao Xiaoyang.

When Aunt Wang was pregnant with Zhao Xiaoyang, she came alone to this big city to seek relatives.

A pregnant woman with no support wandered the streets, almost miscarrying.

If it weren't for Lin Feng's parents helping, sending Aunt Wang to the best hospital, both mother and child would have been in danger.

This favor, the mother and son have always remembered it!

The place where Lin Feng currently lives is a luxurious apartment on the eighteenth floor.

Its area is over two hundred square meters.

The estate is named Heavenly Land Auspicious Scenery, located within the second ring of Yanjing City, and the current price is over twenty thousand per square meter.

In less than ten years, the property price here will increase seven‑ to eight‑fold.

By then, this apartment alone will be worth over thirty million.

The decoration here differs from that of a normal residence.

Only one bedroom is retained for sleeping and resting.

The remaining four rooms consist of a study, an archive room, a storage room, and a small safe.

After Zhao Xiaoyang left, Lin Feng entered the study.

In the study there was no computer, but the office desk had neatly stacked thick notebooks.

On the desk sat an antiquely styled lamp.

Looking at this desk, Lin Feng's mind conjured the image of his old father sitting at the desk, recording in notebooks.

Managing over a thousand properties under hand is no easy task.

If it were someone else, they'd have long set up a company, carrying out data‑driven, professional management.

Or they could simply outsource the work to an agent.

Although the rent collected is much less, it's carefree!

But the older generation, who built up through hardship, don't want to delegate tasks they can do themselves.

Lin Feng had indeed promised to personally manage these properties and will never let middlemen profit from the price difference!

Fortunately, he possesses a photographic memory.

After three days, all the data and information in the house had been stored in Lin Feng's mind.

In total there are 1,120 apartments, more than half of which are in prime locations.

In some well‑situated complexes, even an entire building belongs to Lin Feng.

Besides the over a thousand apartments, there are also entire floors in some office buildings that are Lin Feng's.

He paid a hefty price to purchase those office buildings at the time.

Lin Feng cannot help admiring his elderly parents' boldness.

Back then some might have called them suckers.

But looking now, with Yanjing's rapid development, in just a few years the rental income alone has recouped at least half the cost.

In a few more years, when property prices rise again, a resale could yield several times the profit.

Of course, unless special circumstances arise, Lin Feng will not sell any of his holdings.

Leaving the Shufang, Lin Feng opened the storage room.

What met his eyes were keys hanging across three walls.

Beneath each key ring was a label.

The label listed the house's address and door number.

The placement of the key rings was also organized by number.

Those with the same trailing digit in their door numbers were hung in the same area.

Lin Feng stepped forward and took the key ring marked 1204.

Spring Garden, Building 9, 12th floor, unit 4.

A tenant named Yang Honglin has not paid rent for over half a year.

Yang Honglin's whole family lives in 1204 and has already rented the whole unit.

The reason for not paying rent is that Yang Honglin died six months ago.

Yang Honglin's wife and son have continuously refused to pay, claiming the house was bought with Yang Honglin's money...

Thinking of this, Lin Feng shook his head.

The world is vast; oddballs and chronic debtors are everywhere.

In a previous life he even heard that when someone rents another's house for a long time and the building is slated for demolition, they try to claim the landlord's demolition compensation!

Lin Feng now holds many properties; oddballs and chronic debtors are not limited to just one or two families.

Moreover, some rented houses have had occupants die, turning them into haunted homes.

Those haunted homes have remained vacant and unrented.

"It's such a pity that these fine apartments become haunted houses; it seems I'll have to study psychology and, when renting out, look for tenants who are capable and of good character..."

Lin Feng muttered to himself and opened the door.

Then his eyes brightened.

Outside the door stood a beautiful woman!

She had a delicate oval face, long hair over her shoulders, wore a white shirt, a black blazer and a short skirt, her legs wrapped in black stockings, and was about twenty years old.

The young woman slung a small leather bag over her left shoulder, and raised her right hand as if to ring the doorbell.

Coincidentally, the door opened suddenly.

Seeing Lin Feng, the beauty looked surprised and said, "Lin, where is Mr. Lin?"

Lin Feng sighed, "You mean my father; he passed away a few days ago. I am his son, named Lin Feng."

A melancholy expression crossed the woman's face, "Mr. Lin was such a good person... Mr. Lin, sorry to have disturbed you."

After speaking, the woman turned and prepared to leave.

"Do you have any business?" Lin Feng asked.

The woman stopped in her tracks.
