My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!

23: Chapter 23 Beautiful Landlady!

23: Chapter 23 Beautiful Landlady!

Back at the headquarters of Tanglong Industrial Group.

After finishing the handover, Wu Jie applied for a company car.

As a listed company, Tanglong wasn’t short of funds, and since Wu Jie was now a person of particular interest to President Tang, the logistics department provided him with a Toyota SUV and a fuel card.

Driving home, he couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.

“Awesome!

I’ve finally joined the ranks of car owners, and I won’t have to spend a dime on fuel no matter how high the consumption!”

“The key thing is, I don’t have to draft proposals or communicate with clients when working on external projects anymore, and I don’t need to clock in and out for work, how cool is that!”

“Mr.

Wang, oh Mr.

Wang, I really owe you one!”

With the rush hour yet to peak, Wu Jie floored it and sped home.

Since he got off work early, he decided to start apartment hunting right away; having a car made it more convenient to move.

After parking his car and leaving the neighborhood, he walked while browsing his phone.

Thanks to the internet, there was a plethora of rental listings at his fingertips.

The pictures looked promising, so he excitedly made a call, only to find out it had already been rented.

Next!

A hotel-style apartment, fully furnished, one-month deposit and three months in advance…

Viewing only available on weekends?

Next!

A boutique one-bedroom for rent, only for single, clean-loving ladies?

Geez, why didn’t they specify that in advance?

Keep looking!

…

Suddenly.

Wu Jie saw a girl with a backpack squatting on the ground, writing with chalk:

“I’m so hungry!

Please, kind-hearted people, spare some money for food!”

Hungry?

Wu Jie immediately went to a bun shop and bought her four large steamed buns and a bottle of mineral water.

“If you’re hungry, eat these right away!” Wu Jie said earnestly.

The girl glanced at him, took the food and ate reluctantly.

It was clear she was really hungry as she ate the steamed buns with great effort, almost as if she was biting down with frustration.

After she finished eating and left, Wu Jie went for a stroll after his meal and, to his surprise, saw her squatting and writing on the ground in another place.

So, he went to buy four more rolls and handed them to her.

This time, her eyes were filled with excitement.

Was this because she was touched?

Wu Jie smiled silently, as his system had just informed him that he was despised by this scamming girl.

Perfect!

A shared rental listing on his phone caught Wu Jie’s eye, and he was very satisfied with it.

The house was situated along the main road, which was convenient for transport yet not noisy, and it was also near to a subway station – a simple, well-decorated three-bedroom apartment.

Directly opposite the community was Tianyuan University, and the landlord was a teacher who lived in the apartment, meaning the living room wasn’t divided and rented out as individual rooms, and there was also a parking space available.

The requirements for tenants were straightforward — single working adults, no pets, and tenants who kept the place clean.

He immediately made a phone call and heard an extremely pleasant and melodious voice.

“Hello, may I know who is speaking?”

The voice was soft, delicate, and polite.

Wu Jie quickly responded, “Mrs.

Lin, I saw your rental listing online.

Is it possible to view the apartment tonight?”

“Sure, but you’ve seen the rental conditions, right?”

“I’m single, I don’t have pets, and I work at Tanglong Industrial Group.”

“A listed company, huh?

All right then, come on over.

There are other potential tenants scheduled to view it as well.”

“Uh-huh, I’ll drive over right now.

The parking spot is?”

“D23, you can use it for free when you come over, but if you want to use it long term, you’ll have to pay me an additional three hundred a month, is that okay?”

“Sure, no problem!”

Wu Jie promptly agreed and immediately headed over in his car.

The community had a rather poetic name, Tianyuan Xinya.

Being next to the university, Wu Jie saw many good-looking young men and women coming and going from the community.

For many college couples, dormitories obviously weren’t convenient, and hotel rooms weren’t cheap either, so renting near the school was a better option.

In such communities with many rental properties, access was easy, and there was an abundance of parking spaces.

Wu Jie parked his car and headed upstairs, and upon reaching the door of 802, he was immediately captivated by the couplet at the door.

Red base with black characters, the handwriting was graceful.

At first glance, these were not store-bought Spring Festival couplets but ones written by hand.

“Such skilled calligraphy, could it be that the landlord is a teacher who instructs in calligraphy?”

Wu Jie pressed the doorbell, and quickly, the door opened.

A tall woman in a cheongsam, stunningly appeared before his eyes.

Her features were picturesque, her lips red and teeth white.

The elegant cheongsam complemented her graceful and exquisite figure beautifully.

She had the feel of a classic beauty.

“You’re here to rent the apartment, right?

I’m the landlord, Lin Wan.

Please come in!”

Wu Jie nodded repeatedly, and upon meeting Lin Wan’s clear and flawless gaze, he felt a sense of shame about his own appearance.

“Excuse me, do you have shoe covers?” Wu Jie asked with a smile.

Lin Wan shook her head with a smile, “No need, just come in and look around the apartment!”

The living room was elegantly decorated, the kitchen and bathroom both extremely simple and practical, hardly different from the photos online.

“This master bedroom next to the central atrium comes with a scenic balcony and an ensuite bathroom.

I’ve also prepared a computer desk, clothes rack, slippers, and so on.

The mattress is not of high quality but is definitely brand new, never been used!”

“The second bedroom to the north is smaller, but it also has a complete set of amenities including a bed, wardrobe, and air conditioning.

The room next door is my own, so I won’t show you that one!”

“Additionally, would you like to take another look at the kitchen and bathroom?

The refrigerator, kitchenware, and heating lamp are all readily available.

If you’re going to cook for yourself, just an additional fifty dollars a month for utilities will do.”

…

With a light step, Lin Wan led Wu Jie on a thorough tour of the apartment, gracefully introducing each part.

Her walk was leisurely, poised and charming.

The faint fragrance that permeated the air was refreshing and uplifting.

Beautiful as jade, her demeanor was gentle and graceful.

She had a good job, could manage household chores—a paragon of a good wife and mother.

After the tour, Lin Wan led Wu Jie to the living room to take a seat.

“This apartment is truly nice; so liveable!” Wu Jie exclaimed sincerely.

Lin Wan smiled lightly, “I teach at the university across the street.

After getting my housing quota, I asked my family for some money and bought this place on a mortgage.

I gave it a simple renovation, but the repayment pressure is quite big, so I wanted to rent out the other two rooms.”

“I initially intended to rent to students, but as you know, the tenants that come are all university student couples, and what they do in the rentals…

Hehe, you understand, right?”

Wu Jie nodded, smiling knowingly.

“Don’t worry, I’m a single office worker with regular hours; I won’t cause you any inconvenience!”

With that, Wu Jie showed Lin Wan his employee card for her to check.

After looking at it, Lin Wan laughed, “To be recruited by Tanglong Industrial Group, one has to be trustworthy!

But, are you choosing the master bedroom or the second bedroom?

I heard you also want to use a parking space for a long time?”

“I’ll take the master bedroom!

The second bedroom’s decor looks like it was meant for a girl!

Of course, I need the parking space, but I’ll pay by the month.

The car was assigned to me by the group; the project might change anytime, and I might need to return it.”

“Since that room was originally a children’s room, let’s fill out the contract then!”

Lin Wan offered a sweet smile and pulled out the prepared lease agreement, property deed, and identity card.

Wu Jie immediately handed over his identity card, this wasn’t his first time renting.

Watching Lin Wan sit with her legs together, body slightly tilted to the side, writing in a graceful posture, Wu Jie couldn’t help but think she looked like a beauty from a painting!

If she were to act in historical dramas, wouldn’t she be stunningly captivating?

In the presence of such beauty and charm, Wu Jie no longer cared to look at the property deed.

“All right, fill in your personal information, sign, and stamp it,” Lin Wan said, handing him the pen and contract.

“Lin Wan, 27 years old, single, unmarried… Holy crap, all these details?

But with this price…

Damn it, to live with such a stunning beauty, it’s worth it!”

After quickly scanning it, Wu Jie filled out his information, signed, transferred the money, and took the keys.

Upon concluding the necessary procedures, Wu Jie stood up to leave, ready to move his belongings.

Ding dong!

The doorbell rang.

“Another tenant has arrived.

I have a class tonight, so I can’t help you with moving!” Lin Wan said with a smile.

“I can manage it myself.”

The door opened, and Wu Jie was immediately stunned.

“Hello, I’m here to rent the apartment!”

The clear and pleasant voice, a familiar face.

Was that not Tang Xiao’s cousin, the online celebrity beauty and livestreamer, Tang Xin?
