Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

"8:00 AM, Sunshine Cafe in the North District."

"Okay," Lin Yi said.

Lin Yi checked the time; it was almost eight o'clock, so he took a taxi directly to the restaurant that President Meng had mentioned.

When Lin Yi arrived, he found that President Meng had not yet arrived, so he waited for a few minutes.

A few minutes later, President Meng arrived.

The two exchanged a smile, shook hands, and went into the private room.

Lin Yixian smiled and said, "I heard that among private enterprises, President Meng's Zhongcheng Group is one of the best."

I've long admired Mr. Meng, and I'm so happy to finally meet him today.

"Not at all, we're all old folks now," President Meng said to Lin Yi, clearly pleased.

At the same time, he also learned about Lin Yi's character from a single sentence.

Lin Yi is rich, and may even be a second-generation rich kid. It's rare to see someone like him, who is usually arrogant, put aside his pride and fawn over him when they meet.

No wonder Lin Yi's business is so successful.

"Compared to us old guys, Mr. Lin is truly a young hero. I never imagined that he could come up with so many innovative ideas in a traditional decoration industry. He's really amazing," Mr. Meng exclaimed in admiration.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. Life's tough, and I don't have any ambitions. I just want to earn some money to spend," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Lack of ambition?

If Lin Yi (Zhao Nuo) had no ambition, Su Mingyu wouldn't have been able to take power.

The biggest advantage of having one person hold all the power in the company is that everyone can work together towards a common goal, and no one is thinking about infighting; everything is done with the company's interests in mind.

Is that what you call lacking ambition?

Can someone without ambition generate 60 million in revenue in a single day?

Their company's monthly profit isn't even that much.

Of course, having all the power in a company concentrated in one person also has its downsides; inadequate oversight can easily breed corruption.

For example, if the chairman and management are at odds and do not trust each other, there will be many troubles in the future.

Lin Yi kept shaking his head: "I'm just a junior, I wouldn't dare say that."

"Why does President Lin want to dig up Mingyu?" President Meng couldn't help but ask.

"President Meng should be well aware of this, because Mingyu's personality is best suited for pioneering new ventures and for our newly established company," Lin Yi said.

"Hmm." President Meng nodded.

Even though he knew it in his heart, he still couldn't get over Mingyu's departure.

"I heard from Mingyu that when Mingyu left, President Meng did not stop her at all, and even gave her a gift when the company just opened."

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to President Meng.

"If President Meng needs anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask," Lin Yi said.

"Okay," President Meng said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while longer before leaving.

Mr. Meng returned to his car, looked at his hands, and realized he had truly aged.

"President Meng, how's the negotiation on the spare skirt 8939 going?" Lao Mao asked.

"I underestimated him," said President Meng.

Old Mao was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that President Meng, who had built his business from scratch, would have such a high opinion of Lin Yi.

……

After Lin Yi left, he remained extremely vigilant.

That old fox is culpable.

I need to be careful when I meet him in the future.

In "Nothing But Thirty," the author may not prefer Gu Jia, the perfect wife, but rather the simple and adorable Zhong Xiaoqin.

After Lin Yi left, President Meng sat in the coffee shop for a long time, unwilling to leave.

After a while, President Meng finally went out.

After getting into the car, Mao asked, "General Meng, how did the meeting go?"

"What else could it be? He's a very capable young man, and he speaks very succinctly. If we hadn't found out something beforehand, I wouldn't have been able to get anything out of him."

He would either laugh, change the subject, or compliment me.

"Sigh, I really am getting old," President Meng said helplessly.

"General Meng is in his prime, how could he say such a thing?" Mao said.

"Hey, you don't understand."

Old Mao, I'm not afraid to tell you this, but recently my wife's family has started causing trouble again.

One of her relatives worked at the company but was fired for dissatisfying the company's rules and regulations.

She made a scene with me because of a relative.

If things continue like this, Zhongcheng Group will never be able to complete its transformation and will never be able to go public.

"Zhongcheng is the culmination of my life's work, and it's also the culmination of everyone's life's work," said President Meng.

Mao didn't know how to bring up Meng Zong's family affairs.

"What's even more hateful is that they also tried to deceive my son. It's really going too far!" said President Meng.

Suddenly, President Meng said, "If Mingyu were here, she would definitely be able to give me some advice."

Mentioning Mingyu makes President Meng feel a little sad.

Mingyu was his apprentice, whom he had trained for over a decade, but this brat managed to steal her away!

“President Meng, although President Ming has left the company, she hasn’t left the city,” Lao Mao suggested. “Given the relationship between President Meng and President Ming, we can arrange a private meeting to ask for her opinion. It’s not a big deal.”

“Mingyu Company just opened, let’s wait a couple of days until things stabilize before I ask her again,” said President Meng.

Mao nodded.

President Meng said, "You know, Lin Yi is only in his twenties, and my son is seventeen or eighteen. How come they don't understand anything?"

How can I trust him with Zhongcheng Group after this?

Mao was speechless; each family had its own sorrows.

“Go back!” said President Meng.

"Yes!"

……

Lin Yi carefully considered the circumstances of his meeting with President Meng.

On the surface, the two were exchanging pleasantries, but Lin Yi always felt that this old fox had ill intentions.

Who cares? He has to be wary of whoever it is.

Lin Yi's success today is not due to harmonious coexistence, but rather to his caution.

Leave him alone.

"System, draw a prize." Lin Yi silently chanted in his mind.

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Level 3 Wealth Gathering Array."

Suddenly, three wealth-gathering formations appeared?

Wow, the system really came up with everything he needed.

"System, view attributes," Lin Yi thought to himself.

Host: Lin Luo

Agility: 32 (normal person: 10)

Strength: 27 (normal 10797)

Common skills: God-level driving skills, God-level cooking skills, proficiency in musical instruments, and proficiency in painting.

Proficient in combat and Bajiquan

Special skills: Photographic memory, Kidney Warrior

Special items: 5 wealth-gathering formations (2 of which have already been placed at the renovation company).

Real estate: 121 units, shops: 5 units.

Assets: 85% stake in a decoration company, and 3000 million yuan in cash.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, how many female leads had he encountered?

They are the five girls from Ode to Joy.

Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo in the golden years.

And there's Yangtao from "Let's Get Married".

Su Mingyu from the TV series "All Is Well".

Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin from the TV series "Nothing But Thirty".

Unbeknownst to him, Lin Yi had already encountered 11 female leads.

Among them, the system rewarded Lin Yi with 110 apartments.

Adding the 11 units Lin Yi bought himself, that makes a total of 121 units.
