Chapter 4156: A New Task

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The woman speaking was also wearing a vest, her ample figure and bust resembling volleyballs. She was in her thirties, extremely voluptuous.

Most men wouldn’t be able to handle a woman like her.

Or, perhaps none of them could.

"Calm down, this isn’t the time to talk about these things."

The speaker was a burly man, with well-developed arm and shoulder muscles.

There was a clear height difference with the shorter man.

"What’s his deal?"

"He’s here to collect rent. I told him to wait a few days, and he actually said no." The short man said, looking a bit impatient.

"I thought it was something serious."

With that, the burly man turned to Lin Yi.

"I know the manager of your property, just give us a few more days, and we’ll pay the rent soon."

"I’m in charge of this building now, it has nothing to do with the property management. You can pay the rent now, either directly to me or transfer it to the original account. It’s up to you."

"So it’s nothing to do with property management anymore, has it been contracted out?"

"If that’s how you want to understand it, sure. But either way, hurry up and pay the rent. It’s not much money, don’t make this unpleasant over such a small matter, it’s pointless."

"If it’s contracted out, it still has to do with the property. You can go back and tell them my name is Yang Dong, they’ll know what to do."

"Can’t you understand plain speech? I already told you, this has nothing to do with the property. Why keep bringing it up? Either pay the rent or leave now."

The men in the room instantly got angry, "What do you mean? Did we say we’re not paying the rent? You damn well better not..."

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you guys doing, calm down."

It was the voluptuous woman who spoke, she stopped the others and smiled at Lin Yi.

"Let’s talk this out nicely, come in and have a drink with sis, and I promise they won’t trouble you."

"Since Sis Wang has spoken, we have to give that face. As long as you come in and drink with our Sis Wang, we won’t do anything to you."

"To hell with drinking, are you people sick, or is something wrong with your brains? If you want to act all high and mighty, at least do it with some class. Don’t just sit around here drinking and bragging, and end up not being able to pay rent."

Their expressions froze, as Lin Yi ruthlessly tore off their fa?ade, leaving them feeling exposed and embarrassed.

"You’re crossing the line, you bastard." The man named Yang Dong pointed at Lin Yi.

"Do you think you can..."

Lin Yi reached out and twisted Yang Dong’s finger.

Ah—

The latter screamed in pain, his body instantly hunched over.

"Let go of my hand, damn it."

Seeing their friend being bullied, the short man rushed up, and even two others picked up beer bottles.

Lin Yi swiftly kicked, hitting one man and sending him back into the room.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone was watching Lin Yi, not even daring to breathe heavily.

"The rent is 3,500 a month, pay it every three months. That’s 10,500 bucks, transfer the money now."

The men exchanged glances, "We’ll gather it up and pay you soon..."

Lin Yi released Yang Dong’s hand and waited at the door for them to collect the money.

After over 20 minutes, they finally gathered three months’ rent and transferred it to the account.

After collecting one family’s rent, Lin Yi went on to find other tenants who were behind on their rent.

The next two were smooth; after explaining the situation, they paid their rent.

The system notification also appeared at this time.

[Task Complete: Reward 100,000 in Master level driving skills]

[Job completion rate: 15%, Reward: Universal Key]

[Universal Key can unlock any room in the Fenglin International Apartment]

This reward is interesting. If someone locks their keys in a room, it can help open the door for free.

And in special situations, it can play a crucial role.

But Lin Yi thought about it more carefully; it’s kind of a chicken rib.

With his skills, as long as it’s not those high-end security doors, is there anything he can’t unlock?

But having it is better than not. With this, no need to do any small tricks for unlocking.

After completing the task, Lin Yi didn’t continue collecting rent.

There are so many behind on rent; going door to door by himself is unrealistic. He needs to hire a customer service person quickly to help call and collect, while he handles bigger issues.

When he returned to the office, there was a package at the door.

Inside was a key, looking no different from an ordinary security door key.

Holding the key, Lin Yi drove home.

The family had already finished eating, and when they saw Lin Yi return, Ji Qingyan, wearing a slip dress, got up and said:

"I’ll go heat up the food for you."

"No need, if it’s too hot, I can’t eat it. This temperature is just right."

Lin Yi went to the kitchen, and Ji Qingyan stayed, sitting beside him while he ate.

"You officially started work today, how does it feel?"

"There are more troubles than I imagined, and it’s not as easy as I thought."

Lin Yi recounted the day’s events to Ji Qingyan, who wasn’t surprised and comforted him:

"These things are common, you’ll always meet all sorts of people."

As she spoke, Ji Qingyan poured Lin Yi a cup of water.

"Actually, collecting rent here isn’t so bad. The rent at Fenglin International isn’t low, it naturally weeds out some people. If you were in older neighborhoods, you’d encounter even harder people, so always look on the bright side, this is also a part of life experience."

"You have a better mindset than me," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I’ve been tempered by your daughter, I’ve reached a state of inner peace, won’t be affected by trivial things anymore."

"Then I’ll learn from President Ji in the future."

"If you come across things you don’t understand, consult President Ji, and I’ll tell you." Ji Qingyan said proudly.

"No problem."

"But for a whole building, you can’t do it alone. You should hire someone else."

"That’s what I’m planning to do, I’ll put up a recruitment notice tomorrow."

Chatting as they talked, Lin Yi quickly finished his meal.

Afterwards, he didn’t do anything else, just went to play with Little Nuonuo.

Early the next morning, it was Little Nuonuo who woke Lin Yi up again.

Still groggy, Little Nuonuo’s body landed on him, hitting him rather hard.

No choice but to bear it, since she’s his daughter.

After washing up and eating breakfast, Lin Yi drove to Fenglin International.

Just after parking, a new system task appeared.

[System Task: Recruit three new tenants to move into the Fenglin International Apartment]
