I'm a Landlady in the Apocalypse

Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...

Volume 1_Chapter 20 Assistant

The two bathrooms were connected to form a large room, and an indoor hot spring was built into it.

Su Tao felt the water temperature and found it was just right, very comfortable.

After all the renovations, I spent a total of 12,000 federal coins.

That hot spring alone cost 5,000 federal coins, which hurt her greatly, but she didn't regret it.

After all this, Su Tao was so sleepy that she simply washed up and fell into her soft big bed and fell asleep.

Su Tao slept exceptionally well this time. When she opened her eyes, it was almost eleven o'clock and she missed breakfast.

Most of the tenants went to work, and the few who were at home stayed in their rooms. There was no one in the public areas at all.

However, all four machines were empty, so Su Tao simply restocked them.

Relying on these four machines, Su Tao makes a net profit of one to two thousand every day, and sales are particularly good.

Su Tao had a rare day of leisure. She had a leisurely lunch and was about to go to her newly bought hot spring to soak when Zhuang Wan came to her house.

Can't she just live a happy life in her own world?

"Boss Su, I can't let go of this, so I came to see you. I hope you won't find me annoying."

How could Su Tao really say that she was annoying? She said politely, "No, is there something wrong?"

She was planning to inform Zhuang Wan about the one-bedroom apartment in a few days, because she planned to open three one-bedroom apartments and rent them out at the same time to make it easier for her to manage records.

"No, no, I really want to live here. It would make me happy if I could see you more. It would also make me feel at peace."

Su Taozhen wanted to hold her forehead and asked, "Don't you have anything to do?"

Zhuang Wan shook her head: "The child is still too young, I can't go out to work."

Come on, I'm free.

Su Tao was helpless: "Have you ever been to school?"

Zhuang Wan nodded. "Yes, I did. I was admitted to high school a year before the apocalypse. My grades were pretty good. If it hadn't happened, I might have been able to get into a good university. My parents worked so hard to support me and my brother."

As he was talking, golden beans were about to fall again.

Su Tao quickly stopped her, "How about this, you go back first. Tomorrow you come to be my assistant. The work isn't particularly difficult. Help me with forms and records, and help new tenants get familiar with the environment. I will give you a reasonable salary, which should be enough for you and your two children's living expenses."

Zhuang Wan was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Can I?"

Can she also work and make money?

Since the end of the world, she first relied on her parents, and after her parents passed away, she relied on her husband.

Her husband also left her, and she had no choice but to rely on her younger brother.

This time her brother also left, leaving her alone, bewildered and panicked, facing the rest of her life.

She was extremely terrified.

She is accustomed to relying on others and never thinks about relying on herself.

Su Tao was puzzled: "Why not? You have received a formal education, and many people in the end times don't have this experience."

Zhuang Wan was stunned. No one had ever been so sure of her, thinking that she was valuable and not a burden.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten everything you learned in school and you don't even recognize the words anymore?"

Zhuang Wan quickly shook her head. "No, no, I still remember everything. I love reading. I've been looking for books to read in my free time these past few years. I even have a collection of textbooks and novels from before the apocalypse hidden away at home. My two children are also doing Enlightenment. I can handle any of the jobs you mentioned."

Su Tao was quite surprised and felt much better about her: "Isn't this good?"

Zhuang Wan's eyes turned red again: "I just didn't expect that I could work. I can't believe it. Thank you, Boss Su. I will do my best."

Su Tao quickly comforted her and sent her away.

Now she can finally enjoy her hot spring time.

After a good rest and entertainment, Su Tao was full of energy and built two one-bedroom and one-living-room houses.

However, since it is a one-bedroom apartment, it would cost 12,000 federal coins to expand it.

The two sets cost 24,000 yuan, which was a huge loss.

Her savings suddenly dropped to more than 9,000 federal coins.

Su Tao held her chest and relaxed for a while. It’s okay, it’s okay. She will be able to earn it back later.

The target tenants of these two newly opened one-bedroom apartments are couples or couples without children.

The bedroom only has a large bed, suitable for two people.

There is no kitchen stove or anything like that.

But Su Tao put a lot of effort into the decoration, with the overall color scheme being warm, with linen curtains and carpets, goose yellow fabric sofas, and solid wood shelves and wardrobes.

The balcony is also equipped with a clothes drying rack and washing machine.

The entire renovation cost only about 6,800 federal coins, and the system determined the quarterly rent to be 58,000 federal coins.

After renovating one set, Su Tao had less than 3,000 federal coins left on her, and she had no extra money to renovate another set.

We can only suspend the renovation work and wait until the new tenant’s first month’s rent arrives tomorrow.

Early the next morning, before Su Tao got up, Zhuang Wan came to her house, looking surprisingly good.

"I came too early, didn't I? I'm sorry, you can go back to sleep, I'll wait for you in the living room."

Su Tao yawned and waved her hands, saying, "It's okay. Here are the materials for you. They are all the information of the tenants who will come today. When they arrive later, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the process. You will be the one to take care of the next batch of tenants."

Zhuang Wan was a little excited and a little nervous. She took the information and started reading it.

Before lunch, nine tenants arrived one after another. Su Tao took Zhuang Wan to register the tenants, then learned the rental agreement and other precautions, and finally gave a tour and introduction to the entire Taoyang.

Zhuang Wan took notes very seriously along the way and asked questions to the tenants from time to time, completely losing her usual frailty.

At this moment, Su Tao suddenly noticed that a male tenant had been looking at her with a puzzled and inquiring look since he entered the door, and opened his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something.

According to the information, the male tenant is named Xiang Bin, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, wearing glasses, carrying a briefcase and dragging a suitcase. Apart from a puzzled look, his other behavior is quite polite.

"Mr. Xiang, do you have any questions?" Su Tao asked.

Xiang Bin hesitated for a long time before cautiously asking:

"Excuse me, is your father Su Jianming? If not, I'm really sorry. I apologize in advance. You really look like the daughter of a friend of mine.

Su Tao froze her polite smile: "No, I'm an orphan."

Xiang Bin quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Boss Su."

That’s right, if it was Su Jianming’s youngest daughter, why would he worry so much about his eldest son having no place to live after getting married?

But this Boss Su not only looks like me in temperament, but also in appearance. I should ask Old Su later.

This episode was quickly forgotten by everyone, and after paying the first month's rent, everyone happily went to tidy up their new homes.

Su Tao received 70,000 federal coins in rent, and her financial situation quickly improved.
