Chapter 4: The First Tenant, a Former Superstar
1064 Words
At this moment, Yang Chen drove his Bugatti Veyron straight to Binjiang Villa.
He was a little excited.
Binjiang Villa was a top-tier residential area in Shanghai, with prices exceeding 200,000 yuan per square meter!
Those who lived there were all extremely wealthy and powerful!
Crucially, Yang Chen wasn't getting just one apartment, but an entire building!
According to Shanghai's building standards, a building typically has over thirty floors!
This building was worth at least 3 billion yuan!
"I never imagined that I would become a multi-billionaire in an instant!"
Yang Chen was very excited.
...
"Ding, the lease for room 1102 in Xiangjiang Villa has expired. Please handle it as soon as possible!" As
Yang Chen drove, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Someone's lease had expired. It
seemed the system was a rental collection system!
According to the system's description of Binjiang Villa, half of Yang Chen's building was already rented out.
Not long after, his phone received a message from his tenant, inviting him to meet at a coffee shop near Binjiang Villa to discuss rent.
"Rent collection! Rent collection! I never thought I, Yang Chen, would end up living the life I hate most!"
Yang Chen clicked his tongue in disbelief, finally understanding the mentality of those people online who constantly complain about hating themselves—it's blatant self-aggrandizement!
At that moment, in the coffee shop, a woman with fair skin and sunglasses sat quietly in a corner.
Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, revealing glimpses of her slender, white neck.
She wore a simple white dress, devoid of any adornment, pure and elegant, yet still exuding a mysterious allure.
However, because she wore sunglasses and kept her head down, many couldn't see her face.
Of course, if someone did see her face clearly, they would surely gasp in surprise, for her name was Mu Qianxue, a pop diva who had swept the nation two years prior.
Yet, she suddenly retired at the peak of her career, becoming a legendary figure in the entertainment industry.
There are many rumors circulating, with various versions, but only a few people know that the reason this legendary diva, the dream girl of countless people, suddenly retired was simply because she rejected the son of a company director.
Two years ago, the son of a director at the entertainment company where Mu Qianxue worked proposed that she be his girlfriend. Of course, his words were just a pretext with ulterior motives, and Mu Qianxue naturally refused without hesitation.
From then on, the company cut off all her resources. Because her contract hadn't expired, facing exorbitant breach of contract fees, Mu Qianxue didn't even have the opportunity to seek opportunities elsewhere!
In other words, she was blacklisted or even blacklisted by the company!
Although Mu Qianxue's career hasn't improved at all in the past two years, she doesn't regret it.
Since entering the entertainment industry, Mu Qianxue has set rules for herself: to be an artist of both virtue and talent, to learn from veteran artists, to uphold her integrity, and not to be servile or resort to any means for money or advancement!
But reality is cruel. In the past two years, because of Mu Qianxue's persistence, the company has almost completely given up on her.
With no resources, no performances, and no income, Mu Qianxue had almost exhausted her savings from the past two years.
Looking at the rental contract in her hand, Mu Qianxue felt incredibly bitter.
She hadn't come today to rent a place, but to terminate the contract.
The exorbitant prices of Binjiang Villa were beyond her current means.
Looking at the photo of the apartment on the contract, Mu Qianxue was lost in memories.
Three years ago, when she rented the apartment, she fell in love with it at first sight. It was adjacent to the Huangpu River, offering panoramic views of Shanghai's prosperity, and she signed a three-year lease.
Then came her being blacklisted by her company.
It could be said that she spent the entire lowest point of her life in this apartment.
During that time, she had no friends, no contact, and only the memories of the apartment kept her company.
For Mu Qianxue, this apartment was a memory of her life.
But now, she could no longer afford to rent it.
At that moment, Yang Chen's tall figure walked into the coffee shop, scanned the room, and quickly spotted Mu Qianxue.
He walked over.
"Are you Mu Qianxue?"
Yang Chen asked tentatively.
Mu Qianxue looked up and smiled slightly.
"Yes, you are Mr. Yang Chen!" She
then took off her sunglasses.
Yang Chen was completely stunned.
The face in front of him...
The diva Mu Qianxue!
Although she had been retired for two years, Yang Chen recognized her at a glance.
Two years ago, Mu Qianxue became a national sensation. Coupled with her zero scandals since her debut and her never filming kissing scenes, she was hailed as the new generation's "pure and innocent" leader.
Even Yang Chen, who never followed celebrities, was a fan of hers, having secretly met with her countless nights.
But at this moment, Yang Chen never imagined that his first tenant would be the superstar Mu Qianxue!
"What's it like to have a celebrity as your tenant?"
Yang Chen finally understood the question circulating online.
He was filled with pride and anticipation; this was the answer.
Just then...
"Ding, the host's house rental task has begun. The tenant, Mu Qianxue, is currently in financial straits and cannot afford the high rent. Please make the following choice:" "
Option 1: Following standard procedure, the rental arrangement is temporarily suspended due to Mu Qianxue's inability to pay rent. Reward: 10 billion Zimbabwean dollars!"
"Option 2: Continue renting the house to Mu Qianxue. Reward: 60% of Shengshi Entertainment Company shares, plus additional reward: increased favor with Mu Qianxue!"
Yang Chen was stunned.
Mu Qianxue couldn't afford rent? Had this once-famous diva fallen to such a state?
And what was the meaning of the two choices the system gave him?
Was it insulting his intelligence?
Even a fool would know which option to choose!
"Option 2!"
Yang Chen said directly. "The system has confirmed your choice of Option 2. Please complete the corresponding task for Option 2 as soon as possible. The reward will be issued promptly upon completion!" ...
