Lin Mu heard the punishment and shivered all over, his voice trembling as he asked, "Old man, stop joking, I'm just one person, and I have to protect this and that. Do you think I have the ability to be in two places at once?"
"I don't care about that. Anyway, I don't want to see either Manlin or Sophie getting hurt or being in danger. If anything happens to them, you know what I'll do, right? Of course, I know you have a few foxy friends around you. Enough said, I know you'll figure it out yourself. And about money, I was going to give you a million or eight hundred thousand to spend, but since the Su Family has loads of wealth, with your intelligence, you know where to get money, right?"
"Damn, old man, you're so selfish, not even a tip for taking on this task..."
"Alright, that's it, goodbye!"
"Damn... screw you!" Lin Mu was so angry he almost coughed up old blood. This old geezer is getting stingier as he gets older, "Protecting your playful wife is one thing, that's a given. But having to protect this silly girl pointing a gun at my head..."
"Who's stupid girl?" Qi Manlin heard Lin Mu muttering and knew he was definitely cursing her, so she couldn't help but kick towards Lin Mu's face.
"Ouch, you savage little silly girl!"
Lin Mu had just put down the phone when he saw a beautiful leg kicking towards him. Although the leg's lines were graceful and charming, if it kicked his face, it would draw blood immediately! He didn't dare to slack off, grabbed the pretty foot, removed the high heel, and tossed it aside.
"Wah..." Qi Manlin screamed, not expecting her sneaky attack to be easily countered and herself thrown onto the sofa, with her shoes confiscated. Trying to stand up was now a bit awkward.
Lin Mu smirked evilly, picking up Qi Manlin's shoe, "Wow, silly girl, wearing such big-sized shoes, you really have big feet!"
Being teased and ridiculed by this brute, Qi Manlin felt extremely wronged. She couldn't even shoot him because, after all, the place she lived in was this brute's home! He was the landlord, and she was just a guest and a weak girl too. Boohoo, how did it come to this? Qi Manlin never lost to any man, but in front of this powerful brute, she could only feel her own vulnerability as a girl!
And now she was dependent on him, what if he drove her away? If he did, where could a lone girl like her find shelter? Thinking of this, Qi Manlin unexpectedly started crying!
"I'm in a bad mood, don't mess with me, girl..."
Lin Mu had just said half of it when he noticed Qi Manlin wasn't yelling and fighting as he imagined. Looking down, he saw her sitting on the sofa, glaring at him with tears in her eyes.
Damn, even a crocodile can cry?
"Hey, pretty girl," someone like Lin Mu, a big man, couldn't stand seeing a woman crying next to him, especially such a beautiful girl with both a pretty face and a nice butt. He had to softly coax, "Hmm, let's negotiate, men don't fight with women, chickens don't fight with dogs. I'm the bigger person, don't sweat the small stuff. The prime minister's stomach accommodates big arguments. Seeing your pitiful single girl status, I won't charge you rent, haha!"
"Get lost... bastard..."
Qi Manlin was so angry she almost had a fit. She couldn't beat him, and he was the landlord holding the financial power. What was she? So all she could do was scream at Lin Mu to vent, then, despite wearing one shoe and having one bare foot, she angrily stomped back to her room.
"Oh, look at this girl's hot temper!" Lin Mu placed the iron door on the ground, planning to wander to the market later to find a craftsman to repair it, then post a listing on a classified site to lease out all the rooms upstairs and downstairs. A thousand a room would net him over ten thousand a month! In a few years, he could save some money and take Sophie on a luxurious romantic honeymoon to Bali Island! Maybe in a few years, they could even have some kids to play with!
Look how smug this guy is!
Thinking this, as he walked past the second-floor landing, he heard Qi Manlin's voice with a sobbing tone coming from the room, "Grandpa, it's all because of that jerk Lin Mu..."
Damn, behaving like a child going to complain to an elder, how spoilt is that!
Actually, the call was from Lin Mu's grandpa to Qi Manlin, telling her Lin Mu was there to protect Sophie, advising young people to interact more and get to know each other. Lin Mu wasn't all that bad... supposedly.
My God, and you call that not too bad? Lewdly jerking off aside, he even stole her first kiss in a public toilet, and now he peeked at her while she was bathing... If someone like him isn't considered bad, then a murderer might as well be acquitted!
Hmph, Lin Mu, oh Lin Mu, you'd better not get caught red-handed by me, otherwise you bastard wouldn't know how you died! I'll make sure you die painfully, I'll have you cut into a thousand pieces, how big is this grudge!
Unfortunately, Lin Mu didn't hear this because he had already gone to his master bedroom, changed into clean clothes, and stepped out fresh. There happened to be an internet café outside. What was he thinking earlier? Oh right, renting out the house!
Opened Wancheng Citizen Network, clicked on the apartment rental page, and placed the thought-out advertisement on top: "Attractive apartment for rent, one bedroom, one living room, super large balcony, airy and bright with plenty of natural light, affordable price! Nearby garden and supermarket, convenient living…"
Putting out these emotionally rich adjectives, even this landlord boss felt a surge of happiness welling up from the bottom of his heart!
Alright, having taken care of these trivial matters, it's time to get down to business. Lin Mu casually hailed a taxi, "Driver, take me to Su's Great Enterprise Group headquarters!"
Actually, he had no idea which way to go, but he had to pretend to be very seasoned, otherwise he'd be taken for a ride all over town by some unscrupulous unlicensed taxi driver to cheat money.
"Yunhai Mansion, right?" The taxi driver poked his head through the window,
"Yes, that's correct, Yunhai Mansion!"
Lin Mu had a face full of smiles, only now realizing that the headquarters of Su's Great Enterprise is actually at Yunhai Mansion! Fortunately, he pretended well enough just now, otherwise he would have really been taken for a country bumpkin!
Lin Mu opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, the driver hit the gas pedal, and the taxi zoomed off.
"Young man, heading to Yunhai Mansion to look for a job, right?" The honest middle-aged driver asked with a smile,
"Uh, no, looking for someone." Lin Mu replied casually,
"Oh, looking for someone, who are you looking for?" The middle-aged driver asked brashly, seemingly very confident and assured, "I've been driving taxis in Wancheng for twenty years, such a famous place like Yunhai Mansion, I'm familiar with everyone there, maybe the person you're looking for is a friend of mine, tell me, who are you looking for?"
"The president of Su's!" Lin Mu replied nonchalantly,
"Uh, okay, I'm not familiar with this person." The middle-aged driver was finally defeated, "May I ask why you're looking for her?"
"Matchmaking!"
Uh... The middle-aged driver was speechless, he always thought he was the best at bragging, didn't expect there are always people better, and mountains beyond mountains! Look at this young fellow, so young, his bragging skills are outstanding! Truly the younger generations will surpass us!
Look at this dark appearance, just like a little African refugee, and this attire, at first glance, seems to come from the countryside, just relying on this appearance, can he really go on a matchmaking with Su's Great Enterprise's female CEO, a perfect woman with beauty, wealth, and intelligence? Come on, have you watched too many fairy tales? Do you really believe in a male version of Cinderella?
Screech, the taxi stopped.
"We're at Yunhai Mansion!" The middle-aged driver kindly reminded, "Young man, actually if you didn't brag so much, we could have become friends, and I wouldn't charge you extra for the fare. Now in the new society, new style, spiritual civilization construction, both hands must be strong, both hands must be hard, eight honors and eight disgraces…"
"Here!" Lin Mu couldn't stand the middle-aged driver's long-windedness, quickly stuffed a hundred-yuan bill over, "Keep the change, uncle, see you…"
Damn, so frustrated, who the heck has time to brag with you? That girl is obviously my playful wife! Don't believe it? Suit yourself!"
Looking up, Lin Mu saw a magnificent skyscraper, like a sharp blade piercing into the sky, Yunhai Mansion, truly lives up to its name! He held his breath and counted, oh wow, a full ninety-nine floors! Spectacular and grand, the magnificence is overwhelming, compared to those backward areas in Africa he had seen before, it was a world of difference, the Pearl River Delta's extraordinary economic strength, truly is something else!
But the aura of Yunhai Mansion is way too strong, even those glamorous towers around twenty or thirty floors, once compared to Yunhai Mansion, were completely overshadowed by its heaven-reaching, earth-supporting magnificent aura, all appearing flimsy and small-minded, no matter how gorgeous and unique their appearance, they could not match the grand atmosphere of Yunhai Mansion.
It must be said that this kind of magnificent momentum of Yunhai Mansion made Lin Mu feel small, glancing at it, the grand style, exquisite layout, made people extremely shocked, filled with astonishment in his eyes, being the male host of this whole building, he seemed far from ready to be the protagonist!
His playful wife is the CEO, so Lin Mu should naturally be the chief steward, but he always felt that there was something about himself that didn't quite fit, oh yes, the clothes don't fit, the face doesn't fit, the demeanor doesn't fit, seems like nothing fits! Damn it, doesn't matter, marry the playful wife home, then everything will fit.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu braced himself and walked towards Yunhai Mansion.
