“You flatter me. Are the two of you here to rent the house?” Lin Fan smiled and looked at the middle-aged man and the lady. Zhao Bingqi looked to be in his forties while the lady looked younger.
“I happen to have an apartment for rent in Begonia Garden. This is my title deed and my identification card. You can take a look,” said Lin Fan as he revealed his identity.
He wasn’t a sloppy person. The main thing was that it was almost dark and Lin Fan still had to return to the restaurant. Xia Wanqiu was still waiting for him.
Xia Wanqiu was a superstar, and she was also very pretty. He was worried about leaving her alone at the restaurant.
“Alright.” Zhao Bingqi took a look and confirmed that the owner was Lin Fan.
“Can you bring us up to take a look at the house? We can also talk about the rent.” Zhao Bingqi asked.
“No problem.” Lin Fan understood what Zhao Bingqi meant and brought the two of them into the room.
Lin Fan’s house was 100 square meters. It wasn’t very big but the renovations were pretty good. It had three bedrooms and a living room. There was also a toilet and a kitchen.

Moreover, they could move in immediately. All the furniture was the latest model.
After walking around, Zhao Bingqi and Gong Yang were very satisfied.
This house was not bad!
Most importantly, this was a school district house in the Begonia Garden. It was surrounded by the best middle schools. The transportation was convenient, the service was convenient, and the security was complete. Many factors affected the price of the school district.
Zhao Bingqi and Gong Yang were not simple people either. They came to Shanghai to work and needed a house. The houses in the Begonia Garden District were not bad.
“The rent for the houses here is about 65,000 a month. We just came to Shanghai to work. Can we make it cheaper? How about 60,000 a month?” Zhao Bingqi asked.

In terms of business, it was inevitable to talk about prices. Zhao Bingqi went straight to the point and asked Lin Fan to lower the rent directly.
Lin Fan was deep in thought. The average rent for the houses in the Begonia Garden district was indeed around $65,000. However, that didn’t mean that $65,000 was enough to rent such a good house.
The supply of the houses here could not meet the demand, and the prices were increasing day by day. Even if someone spent $65,000, they would not be able to rent a house in the Begonia Garden District.
Although Lin Fan was short of money, he wasn’t a fool. How could he do something like that?
“Although the average price of the houses here is 65,000 a month, there are actually many people who want to rent houses. You can also ask around for other empty houses.”
“Transportation is very convenient here. There’s no traffic congestion usually. The commute time for work is less than half an hour. There are convenience stores, shopping malls, and schools nearby. Students aren’t far from school, so it’s impossible to reduce rent.”
“My opinion is to increase the rent to 70,000 a month,” said Lin Fan. This was the conclusion he came to after a long time of evaluation.
A monthly rent of 70,000 yuan a month was not too expensive here.
As for reducing the rent, the entire Begonia Garden District would probably not do so.
“That’s true. We know the property prices here. Seventy thousand a month. That’s eight hundred and forty thousand a year. Can we consider the rent and give you an answer after we have considered it?” Zhao Bingqi asked with a smile.
“Alright, but you guys have to hurry. There might be new tenants.” After Lin Fan said that, he stood up and looked at the time, preparing to leave.
“There’s 8,000 yuan here. We will give you an answer in three days at the latest. Do you think you can keep the house for us for three days?” Zhao Bingqi asked. After all, it was not easy to get a rent of 840,000 yuan. They had to compare between different houses.
“No problem. But I can only keep it for three days. If it’s confirmed, you can call me.” Lin Fan took the money and closed the door. Then, he left with the Bugatti.
To Lin Fan, it would be best if he could rent this place out. After all, he was short of money.

Lin Fan definitely couldn’t accept Zhao Bingqi’s suggestion. If the monthly rental fee was sixty thousand dollars, that would only be seventy-two thousand dollars a year. If the monthly rental fee was 70,000, he would get eighty-four thousand dollars a year.

There was a difference of 120,000 yuan.

If Lin Fan were to compromise, he would earn a hundred and twenty thousand less instead.
On the other hand, the six thousand yuan was not bad. Even if Zhao Bingqi and his wife did not need to rent a house anymore, he could still rent it to someone else.
After Lin Fan left, Zhao Bingqi and Gong Yang were even more impressed.
Lin Fan wasn’t simple.
Zhao Bingqi saw that Lin Fan was young and seemed to be very rich. He wanted to try lowering the rent and thought that Lin Fan wouldn’t mind. However, Lin Fan didn’t give up on the rent and instead increased it.
“Hubby, although Lin Fan looks like he doesn’t care about anything, he won’t lose out. This kind of person is indeed not an ordinary person,” Gong Yang said with some approval.
“That’s right. Little Brother Lin Fan drives a limited edition sports car. It’s not something that ordinary people can compare with.” Zhao Bingqi sighed. As for the rent, they had to reconsider.
…
When Lin Fan drove back to the restaurant, the sky had already turned completely dark.
He stopped the car, opened the back door and turned on the lights. Lin Fan started preparing some ingredients for dinner.
Xia Wanqiu, this evil woman, always liked to freeload at his place.
Lin Fan was a little angry. The restaurant was already closed but Xia Wanqiu still wanted to come. He was so handsome. What if she refused to leave?
Ten minutes later.
A girl wearing a cat’s ear hat came through the back door.
She was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a gray shirt. She had a slender figure and snow-white skin. She also had a pair of heaven-defying long legs. Although she was not wearing any makeup, she had a unique aura that made people want to take a few more glances at her.
Lin Fan had seen all of her works. On the screen, she was pretty, cute, and had countless fans. But the real her was much better looking than on television.
Xia Wanqiu did not put on any makeup. Without makeup, her looks were already 99 points, and she had crushed countless female celebrities.
There were many people who wanted to film a kissing scene with her, but she was unwilling. She was clean and untainted in the entertainment industry. She was still so pure and beautiful. Furthermore, she had high expectations for her works. This was also the reason why she was successful.
“Meow ~” Xia Wanqiu looked at Lin Fan with her clear eyes and said.
“Why do you look so angry? Are you so unwilling to make me dinner?” Xia Wanqiu walked closer and looked at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan still ignored Xia Wanqiu.
Of course, Lin Fan wasn’t angry. He just pretended to ignore her.
“Hmph, why aren’t you saying anything?” Xia Wanqiu mumbled as she sat on the chair. She started to wonder if she had made Lin Fan angry.
Yeah… I don’t think so.
That meant he was pretending. All he knew was to pretend to be angry.
Xia Wanqiu ignored Lin Fan as if whoever spoke first would lose.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
Meow ~ I won’t wait for this guy to speak first!
Xia Wanqiu stood up and walked towards Lin Fan step by step. She had a wronged look on her face as she lowered her head and pinched Lin Fan’s clothes with one hand as if she was admitting her mistake.
Who could stand this scene?
Lin Fan looked at Xia Wanqiu and smiled. “What do you want to eat for dinner?”
He would not really be angry with Xia Wanqiu. It was only because he was too close to her that he would tease her like this. No matter what, he had already made Xia Wanqiu admit defeat once.
When Xia Wanqiu heard that, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. The aggrieved look she had earlier disappeared. “Hehe, you spoke first. You lost.”
Xia Wanqiu stretched her back, her delicate curves stretching out, making one’s heart flutter. Such a beautiful girl was right in front of him, who could resist?
But Lin Fan only had one thought right now.
Damn!
I’ve been deceived?!
