Chapter 129 Property Management Fees
Moonlight streamed through the window and onto the bedroom carpet.
Exhausted from a long day, Lin Fan and Su Ruowei had already washed up and were lying in bed.
At one o'clock in the morning, Su Ruowei was still wide awake and sat up with a preoccupation.
Looking at Lin Fan, who was fast asleep beside her.
The man in front of her looked both familiar and unfamiliar.
He is highly skilled and knows Gao Xuan from the Shancheng Group. Today, he also learned that he is an old acquaintance of Fang Yixiao, the Qigong master of Lingyun Martial Arts Hall.
With any one of these qualities, such a person could easily make a name for himself in Shancheng City. Why would he choose to marry into the Su family?
"Sigh!" Su Ruowei sighed, "Am I overthinking things?"
After lying down, Su Ruowei turned to look at Lin Fan, and it was not known how long it had been before she finally fell asleep.
Almost the instant Su Ruowei fell asleep, Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes.
Afterwards, he quietly went to the bathroom and sent a message to Gao Xuan, asking Gao Xuan to come to the Lingjueding Villa District the next day to celebrate as his uncle, thereby dispelling Su Ruowei's suspicions.
Lin Fan noticed Su Ruowei's doubts, but he couldn't tell Su Ruowei his identity yet, or even reveal his identity publicly.
Because the Lin family in the mountain city was not entirely peaceful, and there were also people from the Nine Netherworlds hiding in the city, their friend or foe indistinguishable.
The next morning, Shen Yunlan knocked on the door of Lin Fan and his wife's room.
"Daughter, son-in-law! Get up quickly, we have guests."
Su Ruowei yawned and asked lazily, "It's not Chinese New Year, who goes visiting so early in the morning!"
“It’s your Uncle Tang and Uncle Huang. If you’re not going to greet the guests, then get up and take care of Xiao Xinran.” Shen Yunlan said and left.
"It's only 7 o'clock, even on the weekend the kids need to sleep!"
Su Ruowei looked at the time with an annoyed expression, clearly still grumpy from waking up.
Actually, there was another reason for her dissatisfaction, which was Uncle Tang and Uncle Huang, whom Shen Yunlan mentioned.
One was named Tang Deliang, and the other was named Huang Youwei. Both of them were Su Zhengwu's classmates and ran small businesses, so their situation was slightly better than Su Zhengwu's.
That slight advantage, however, became their asset.
The two of them had often teamed up to bully Su Zhengwu, and they couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks whenever they met.
Even when making a phone call to wish someone a happy new year, they're expected to add a sarcastic remark.
Therefore, Su Ruowei disliked these two people from a young age.
Tang Deliang and Huang Youwei stood frozen in the villa courtyard for a full 10 minutes, their hearts filled with nothing but jealousy. They both knew that the villa was acquired by Su Zhengwu's daughter through sheer luck.
"How's my villa? Old classmate? Not bad, right?"
Su Zhengwu patted the two of them on the shoulders from behind and said in a serious tone, "It's just too big. The bedroom is over a hundred square meters. I'm a little scared to sleep at night."
"Ha ha--"
The two men smiled awkwardly and followed Su Zhengwu through the courtyard to the living room.
Upon entering the living room, the two of them immediately began to take in the decor, their eyes widening in amazement.
Shen Yunlan placed the tea in front of the two of them, sat down, covered her face, and laughed, "This living room is so-so. Once the area gets too big, it loses its cozy feeling."
Tang Deliang and Huang Youwei had dark faces. They had long expected that Su Zhengwu had invited them here to show off. They also blamed themselves for being curious about the Lingjueding Villa, since without Su Zhengwu, the two of them would never have been able to come here in their entire lives.
"Why don't you hire a few housekeepers to take care of things? You can't possibly clean such a big villa yourself," Huang Youwei said with a laugh.
He knew that he had acquired the villa entirely by luck, and that it would be difficult for Su Zhengwu to hire a nanny with his financial resources.
Tang Deliang's eyes lit up, secretly admiring Huang Youwei's wit. The two of them looked at Su Zhengwu, thinking they could put him in a difficult position, but to their surprise, Su Zhengwu chuckled and said:
"No need to hire a nanny, the property management of this Lingjueding Villa comes to clean regularly, the service is very attentive."
Shen Yunlan chimed in, "Yes, and you were picked up and dropped off by car when you came."
"Oh, I see." Tang Deliang lowered his head.
"The property management fee isn't low either!" Huang Youwei continued to press the issue.
“Yes! The property management fees must be quite high!” Tang Deliang’s eyes lit up again.
"Property management fee?"
Su Zhengwu and Shen Yunlan looked at each other, they really didn't know there was such a thing as property management fees.
Huang Youwei winked at Tang Deliang, indicating that the two men were unaware of the property management fees.
"How much is your property management fee? Is it ten or eight thousand a month?" Tang Deliang asked, waiting to see Su Zhengwu make a fool of himself.
"No, I don't know," Su Zhengwu said truthfully.
"Oh dear, look at you guys, you don't even understand the property management fees. This house was won in a lottery, if you can't afford the property management fees, you probably won't live here for long!" Huang Youwei laughed.
"Then, what should we do?" Shen Yunlan was also scared. On the day she moved into the Lingjueding villa area, she was afraid that the old lady would take back the house and sell it first.
Although the owner of the small duplex is Su Zhengwu, the old lady has the decision-making power.
Of course, Fang Minjun wouldn't take it back. If she still dared to take the house after knowing that Lin Fan was the president of Shancheng Group, then she was asking for trouble.
"You should make a call and ask," Shen Yunlan said to Su Zhengwu, completely ignoring the two people beside her.
Su Zhengwu quickly took out his phone and called the property management of Lingjueding Villa District.
Before the call even connected, Tang Deliang and Huang Youwei moved closer to Su Zhengwu, their ears perked up.
As soon as the call connected, Su Zhengwu asked anxiously, "Hello, I am a resident of villa number 001 in our villa area. May I ask if we have property management fees?"
The person on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Of course, Villa No. 001, right?"
"Yes! How much is it?" Su Zhengwu asked anxiously.
“I checked for you. The property management fee for villa number 001 is 5 yuan per square meter per month, payable at the beginning of the month.”
"Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"That's all." Su Zhengwu hung up the phone with a sigh of relief, then smiled at Shen Yunlan and said, "It was only 5 yuan."
Shen Yunlan looked at Su Zhengwu with a terrified expression, her voice trembling slightly: "5 yuan! One yuan!"
"Ah!" Su Zhengwu was so excited he almost fainted, and he began to do the calculations with trembling hands:
"At 5 yuan per square meter, a villa covers 120 acres, which is equivalent to 8 square meters. That's 40 yuan a month!"
"40!" Shen Yunlan collapsed onto the sofa.
With the 100 million yuan Lin Fan gave her and Su Zhengwu, plus the 100 million yuan from selling the house, and all their miscellaneous savings, they were only enough to live in the Lingjueding villa area for less than 6 months.
Six months later, the family was homeless.
"Wow, this villa is huge!" Huang Youwei covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Yes, if this were a place for rich people, the property management fee would be 40 yuan a month. We can't afford it," Tang Deliang laughed again.
"Old Wu, while this villa is still yours, can my brother and I stay here for a few days and enjoy ourselves?"
Huang Youwei waved his hand repeatedly and laughed, "You can stay if you want, but I won't. If they ask me for property management fees again, I can't afford it!"
"Yeah, then I won't stay there either! Hahaha."
Just then, Lin Fan came downstairs and heard a loud commotion coming from the sofa.
