Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Jiang Xu: Judging by the current trend, I seem to be out of favor

Translator: 549690339

“You little rascal, from now on you should hand over your bank cards to Nuonuo. When men have money, they become bad!”

Jiang Xu couldn’t hold back then and there and said in disbelief, “Mom, aren’t I your biological son?”

Chen Yue: “If you cooperate, then yes, you are. If not, sorry, we’re not that familiar with each other.”

Jiang Xu: “…”

He was looking at An Nuonuo, his eyes filled with some resentment.

Given the current situation, it seemed he had fallen out of favor.

An Nuonuo wanted to laugh but dared not to, feeling somewhat stifled.

She was incapable of controlling Jiang Xu, only the mighty Lord Chen Yue had the capacity to keep him in check.

In her mind, she thought that she should learn some ‘governing experience’ from Chen Yue when there was a chance.

If Jiang Xu knew what An Nuonuo was thinking right now, what would he feel?

The group walked into the local neighborhood and began the tour.

The entire exterior was completely finished.

The greenery was nice and the fences were several meters higher than typical neighborhoods.

This design effectively separated them from the outside noise.

Jiang Shan and Chen Yue had smiles on their faces since they walked in.

They were very satisfied with everything about the residential area.

They stepped into the second floor of one of the houses.

The decoration was simple but looked quite comfortable.

The views and lighting in all the apartments were great.

The interiors were not yet furnished.

For rental purposes, there was no need for expensive furniture.

Jiang Xu planned to equip each room with a bed and a simple sofa only.

As for appliances, installing a water heater would be enough.

The rest would be added by the tenants themselves.

Chen Yue and Jiang Shan were in high spirits.

They visited both buildings from the second floor up to the top.

Only then did Chen Yue ask Jiang Xu how much he planned to rent these houses for.

The single-floor area of one building was 350 square meters.

There were four apartments.

One was a 50 square meter apartment while the other three were all 100 square meter apartments.

As for the rental price, he had already consulted Fu Xinghan about this a few days ago.

He was much clearer about this than Jiang Xu.

The prices given were: for the fifty square meter apartment, a thousand a month.

For the one hundred square meter apartments, eighteen hundred per month.

There were twenty-three floors in each building, with four apartments on each floor.

Adding the two buildings together, there were a hundred and eighty-four apartments.

According to this calculation.

Assuming they were all rented out, the monthly rent for an entire floor was six thousand four hundred.

For both buildings, with a total of forty-six floors, that was two hundred and ninety-four thousand four hundred.

Almost three hundred thousand.

In addition, there was the money for renting out parking spaces, as well as a share of the property management fees he could receive.

Of course, these rents were the pricing for these two years.

If it was after 2015.

In first-tier cities, in prime locations, a hundred square meter apartment would at least rent for five thousand per month.

“My goodness, the monthly rent is nearly three hundred thousand!”

Hearing Jiang Xu’s answer, everyone present was shocked.

Fu Yanjie thought to himself, thankfully he was well-off, otherwise he really wouldn’t be able to keep up with Jiang Xu.

The task of renting out the apartments would be handled by a professional Jiang Xu would hire at that time.

The utility bills wouldn’t be increased, out of fairness.

In his previous life, when Jiang Xu rented a house in another place, he encountered heartless landlords.

The regular price for electricity was fifty cents, they would charge you one yuan, or even one yuan and twenty cents.

The water bill was the same.

You were helpless.

The people who usually rent houses are workers from other places.

They were already having a hard time, to encounter such heartless landlords, it really was an unlucky event for them.

After touring around here, the group went to a restaurant for a good meal.

Fu Yanjie then departed because he had very little time to go out.

Later on, Chen Yue took An Nuonuo shopping, saying that the weather was turning cold and she needed to buy more clothes.

It was a good opportunity for An Nuonuo to ask Chen Yue for more advice on how to ‘deal with’ Jiang Xu.

In the end, it was just Jiang Xu and his father, Jiang Shan, who went back.

Time quickly rolled around to Saturday again.

Jiang Xu sent the autobiography he had written for Liu Yue over to her.

She responded quickly, saying that she really liked it.

Not long after, Jiang Xu received a payment of five hundred thousand for the manuscript from Liu Yue.

“Ah, I’m really exhausted!”

Jiang Xu stretched leisurely.

He had been extremely busy recently.

He had to maintain the website, write novels, do homework, and read books.

He had already begun programming on his own.

Simple stuff, like creating fireworks explosions and heart shapes, wasn’t a problem for him.

“Ding dong!”

His mobile phone received a message.

Upon opening it, he saw that it was from Wang Xue, a staff member he had hired a few days ago who was responsible for collecting the rent and dealing with tenant issues on a regular basis.

Her name was Wang Xue, a recent university graduate.

She was a local from Jiang City.

Her home had also been demolished.

They had numerous properties at home, and had received over a hundred million in demolition compensation, so her entire family no longer needed to worry about future living expenses.

She started work mainly to pass the time.

Jiang Xu hired her because she had just graduated, and her eyes still conveyed a clear innocence.

This kind of employee was easy to manage, and the likelihood of her secretly charging extra fees was very low.

Wang Xue sent a message saying that twelve more properties had been rented out.

Since the rental advertisements were posted a few days ago, a total of thirty-five properties had been rented out.

Every week, Wang Xue would bring the rent money to him.

It was still quite inconvenient; mobile payments had not yet become widespread.

A payment software called Alipay had been developed by a certain company in 2004.

However, very few people were using it currently.

Just as Jiang Xu was preparing to go out for a walk, Liu Yue called him.

First, she thanked Jiang Xu for helping her write the novel.

Then she asked, “The TV drama ‘Those Bygone Years’ just finished its run, can you guess how much it made?”

From her tone, Jiang Xu could tell that the earnings were not trivial.

He laughed and said, “Eighty million?”

“How could it be that much? You’re overthinking it.” Liu Yue retorted, “But you’re not too far off, the total income was just over fifty million.

After deducting production costs, distribution costs, and the like, the net profit was twenty-one million.

According to the contract, you can get a pre-tax income of two million one hundred thousand.”

Jiang Xu quickly did the math in his head.

If the annual income exceeded nine hundred and sixty thousand, a forty-five percent tax would need to be paid.

That would be four hundred and thirty-two thousand.

So, he would take home one million one hundred and sixty-eight thousand.

That was acceptable.

This type of income and the tax on manuscript fees were calculated separately.

“There’s one more thing, the film ‘Pure White Lover’ will be released next week, if you have the time, please help promote it a bit.”

Oh boy.

Jiang Xu really had to admire this woman Liu Yue.

She was a filmmaking maniac.

One project after another, once a movie was done it was on to a TV drama, then back to movies.

Considering this trend, her company could really become one of the giants in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Xu pondered whether he should invest.

But it was just a thought.

He currently still had a substantial loan to repay.

A total loan of over thirty-two million.

After making two payments, he still owed thirty million.

He would have to wait until all his debts were paid off before he could consider investments like this.

After talking for a while and promising to help with the promotion, he ended the call.

Over at the other end.

Liu Yue put her phone down on the table.

She looked at Zhou Qingyue who was sitting on her bed and asked, “Qingyue, what on earth are you planning to do?”
