Chapter 5: My Name Is Wen Keke

"Mr. Lin, I'm Wen Keke. I came over during the weekend holiday to discuss a rental matter with you."

Wen Keke sat down on the living‑room sofa, slightly furrowing her brows as she spoke.

"What would you like to drink?"

Lin Feng asked with a smile.

To a landlord, tenants are customers, they are gods.

Lin Feng naturally treats them courteously.

Moreover, Wen Keke actually knows this residence!

It must have been her late father who told her.

The meaning behind this…

Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder whether, before their deaths, his parents were already looking for a girlfriend for him.

"Thank you! I'm not thirsty."

Wen Keke demurely waved her hand and said.

Lin Feng took a bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator and placed it on the coffee table in front of Wen Keke.

After sitting down, he smiled and said, "Now my parents' house has been handed over to me, so you can discuss the rental matter with me.

You just heard that my dad is gone and wanted to leave; do you think I'm hard to talk to?"

Wen Keke nodded and said, "From your eyes I can see you are a very principled person, so…"

Lin Feng gave a slight smile; this lady even knows psychology!

"Then tell me, maybe I'll agree! I'm as kind‑hearted as my dad."

Wen Keke couldn't help but smile and said, "Here's the situation: around this time last year, I rented that apartment of yours.

It was Jinhu Huayuan, Building 5, apartment 1706, right?"

Lin Feng searched his mind for the tenant's records, and Wen Keke's name quickly appeared.

"Yes," Wen Keke nodded.

Then she continued, "That apartment is over 120 square meters; the original price was 5,000 per month, and I covered the property fee and utilities..

But this year, our company's performance is poor, the monthly bonus is gone, and the base salary is only 8,000 yuan.

After rent, utilities, and living expenses, I have little left each month. So, could I… could I find someone to share the lease?"

"Wait a moment."

Lin Feng finished speaking, then got up and entered the records room.

Soon, he pulled out the rental contract Wen Keke had signed.

The rent and other terms stipulated in the contract matched what Wen Keke said.

However, there was a clause stating Wen Keke may not have friends stay in the house for long periods.

That is the so‑called co‑rental.

Landlords generally dislike having their houses co‑rented.

First, co‑tenants might quarrel over rent; second, accidents are more likely.

It is worth noting that in Yanjing, because rent is high, it is basically paid month by month.

Of course, to prevent tenants from running away or damaging the property, a deposit is required.

Wen Keke deposited ten thousand yuan.

"If the co‑rental involves a man and a woman, I will not allow it."

After putting down the rental contract, Lin Feng said lightly.

Wen Keke hurriedly said, "No, it's a female colleague from my company. Before I came, I already discussed it with her; if you agree, the two of us will co‑rent."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Miss Wen, that's a three‑bedroom, two‑living‑room house; in fact, you could easily find several more people to share it without any problem."

In his previous life, Lin Feng had struggled hard and knew how difficult it was for these wage earners.

In a big city like Yanjing, many people devote more than half of their income to landlords.

Wen Keke shook her head and said, "Actually I prefer living alone, in a bigger, more spacious place.

Because I have a slight cleanliness obsession, living with others isn't suitable. If my income hadn't dropped this year, I wouldn't co‑rent with anyone."

"Alright! I agree. In a couple of days I'll bring the rental contract and come to you."

Lin Feng nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

Wen Keke wore a delighted expression.

Having put her worries aside, she couldn't help but pick up the orange juice and start drinking.

"Did you take a taxi here?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Wen Keke nodded.

Lin Feng said, "I'm heading to Spring Garden right away; it's not far from Jinhuxiaoqu, I can give you a ride."

"Getting a lift is wonderful!"

Wen Keke laughed and stood up.

Via the elevator they went down to the basement parking lot; Lin Feng walked to a white Land Rover Discovery and opened the door.

It was a brand‑new car, still bearing temporary license plates because it had just been purchased.

Wen Keke silently stuck out her tongue, thinking to herself that landlords in Yanjing are all rich vampires!

The money spent on this car would have been enough to pay her rent for several decades.

Lin Feng likes these large‑shaped cars because they feel safe to drive.

Those low‑chassis sports cars, though they look flashy and ostentatious when driven, don't interest him.

After driving the car out of the garage and getting on the road, Lin Feng started chatting with Wen Keke.

Wen Keke is 25 this year, one year older than Lin Feng.

She started working last year around this time.

She studied advertising design, is currently single, and has no boyfriend.

Lin Feng asked these questions not because he wanted to hit on this beautiful woman.

As for tenants, Lin Feng believes the more information he has, the better.

In the future, for those low-quality tenants, after their lease ends he would rather leave the house vacant.

In less than half an hour, Lin Feng had driven the car to the entrance of Jinhuxiaoqu.

"Mr. Lin, goodbye!"

After getting out of the car, Wen Keke waved at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng waved his hand and then drove off.

"Wow! Keke, you've snagged a golden turtle son-in-law!? Driving a Land Rover, you're handsome as well, Keke you've hit the jackpot!"

A young woman with loose, wavy long hair and a fashionable outfit walked over, smiling as she spoke.

The woman looks a bit older than Wen Keke; her face isn't as delicate as Wen Keke's, but her skin is very fair and her eyes are full of charm.

"Zhu Li, don't talk nonsense! He's the landlord; I just went to see him about the roommate arrangement." Wen Keke explained.

"Did he agree?" Zhu Li said, putting her arm around Wen Keke's shoulders.

"Mm!"

Wen Keke nodded, saying, "He said he'd bring over a new rental contract in a few days..."

Zhu Li laughed, saying, "This guy is pretty considerate of you! With any other landlord, they'd just ask you alone for the rent, never bothering to make a roommate contract."

"I was actually planning to extort you a bit, but I didn't expect this loophole to be plugged—what a pity."

"You're not that kind of person." Wen Keke laughed.

Zhu Li smiled again: "Let me tell you, a man like this is an opportunity you mustn't miss. When you reach my age, you'll understand how hard it is to find a man who's both rich and handsome to marry."

"If you take a liking to him, then go for it when the time comes!"

"That's what you said! When the time comes, definitely don't be jealous of your older sister!"
