Unexpectedly, after talking with Shen Xiaobei today, I gained such a benefit.

She felt both sad and ridiculous, yet also a little relieved.

After seeing Kong Wanwan mutter to herself, she seemed to be lost in thought. Shen Xiaobei stared at her and didn’t rush to say anything else.

Instead, he waited until her expression relaxed a little and then gave her a slight wry smile.

Then he said to her, "Yes, it's more appropriate to talk about profit! Talking about love, don't you think it's a joke?"

"Yes, you're right, it does seem like a joke."

"So, let's not talk about affection or friendship between us. We're just two acquaintances. Or, to be more precise, we're just landlord and tenant."

"As a landlord, I have to exercise my rights as a landlord, and as a tenant, you have to fulfill your obligations as a tenant."

"So, take a good look at this rental contract. If you have no objections, pay the rent first, then sign and put your fingerprint on it."

After Shen Xiaobei finished speaking, he took out the rental contract and the ink pad that he had prepared in advance from his schoolbag.

Although Kong Wanwan felt a little surprised and displeased, Shen Xiaobei actually got a lease contract for her to sign so seriously, as if he was afraid that she would default on her rent.

However, she still took it and looked at it carefully.

There weren't any particularly awkward clauses in the contract. It mainly stated that the property in the courtyard house must not be damaged during the rental period, otherwise compensation would be required.

Also, you cannot bring random people here. If you want to bring them, you must inform the landlord and get his or her consent.

"One deposit, one pay. OK, I'll pay!"

The rent set by Shen Xiaobei is not very cheap, but it should not be very expensive in Beijing. Including the electricity bill, it is 15 yuan a month.

Kong Wanwan was very straightforward and didn't bargain with her. She paid her 30 yuan in one go.

After the rent issue was settled, Shen Xiaobei verbally discussed the food expenses with Kong Wanwan.

Kong Wanwan was planning to find a job, and she might not have to eat three meals a day in the courtyard, so she temporarily paid 20 yuan to Shen Xiaobei and let her figure it out.

Shen Xiaobei was a little surprised when he received the 50 yuan from Kong Wanwan.

First of all, she didn't expect this woman to be so straightforward today, and then, she didn't expect that she actually had some money in her hand.

But she knew that Kong Wanwan's money must have come from her mother's family.

After all, this woman still hasn't been able to support herself, and she couldn't help but feel a slight contempt for her.

"Xiaobei!"

After receiving the rent and food expenses, and signing and fingerprinting the contract, Shen Xiaobei was about to leave when Kong Wanwan stopped him again.

"Anything else?"

"Xiaobei, even though you said that it's best for us to talk about benefits right now, I still want to say that I believe that one day, we can talk about feelings, just like you, Sister Huifang, and Xiaoli!"

"Hehe, maybe."

"Since you've said a few more words to me, I'll say a few more words to you too! I believe you already knew what kind of person Du Wenli was when he provoked Mu Fangting."

"Since you already know everything, and now you find that he has relapsed into his old habits, why should you linger on a man like him, why should you worry about him?"

"Men know not to hang themselves on a tree. How can women not understand this? How difficult is it?"

After saying that, Shen Xiaobei pulled up the corners of his mouth, smiled faintly at Kong Wanwan, and left without waiting for her answer.

Kong Wanwan looked at her back and stood there.

After silently chewing on the last question asked by Shen Xiaobei, he couldn't help but snorted, and a sneer appeared on his face.
