Chapter 193 Lin Fan, who betrayed himself
After seeing Yu Mengmeng off, Lin Fan began to think about preparing a batch of small gifts to keep, so as to avoid being in a hurry when the time comes, or not being able to prepare them when something else happens.
The most easy thing to prepare is the autographed postcards. Lin Fan can sign a lot of them in one day. The second is the scented tea. Although the production process takes time, it can be made in batches. Once a batch is made, it can be used for a long time. Of course, some must be left for Xia Yan.
Then comes painting. It doesn't have to be figure sketching. When you have nothing to do, you can just draw some landscapes, still lifes, animals, etc. Also, if you want to be lazy, you can draw some Q-version people or animals. They are very cute.
The most time-consuming thing is wood carving. It may take more than a day to finish one, and the remaining finished products have to be used sparingly.
Time passed slowly as Lin Fan was busy making small gifts. This kind of life was fulfilling and happy, comfortable and blissful. Lin Fan felt that he had completely fallen in love with the island homestay life. This kind of life was what he had always hoped for in his previous life.
The money owed to Xia Yan must be repaid soon.
There are no worldly troubles, no unnecessary worries, and no need to hustle for money.
It would be even better if there wasn't that annoying system that kept bothering me from time to time! ...
At the end of the month, Lin Fan won another prize on Chaobo, and at the same time, he also gained millions of fans, well, the kind that cannot provide popularity values.
The number of Chaobo's fans has reached 20 million! The system is really too fussy! If I count all these 20 million fans into my popularity value, then I can definitely become a god! Even if it is a lottery of 100,000, I can easily complete the "100 consecutive draws" achievement! This 100 consecutive draws is much more powerful than the 100 consecutive draws before the upgrade.
Alas, what a pity! Every time Lin Fan saw the number of fans on Chaobo soaring, he had the urge to kill a system to offer sacrifice to the heavens! ...
Then, the longed-for yard welcomed a special guest.
Lin Fan's landlord.
The landlord did not come to Lin Fan right away after learning about the popularity of Xiangwang Yard and Lin Fan. Instead, he waited for another two weeks, watching as hotels and B&Bs within a 10-kilometer radius of Lin Fan's B&B were raising their prices, but the rooms were still in short supply. As the radius became larger and larger, he finally couldn't sit still any longer.
"Boss Lin, you've been busy lately, haven't you?"
Lin Fan activated the [Photographic Memory] plug-in and recognized the person as soon as he looked up.
Lin Fan looked at the landlord's smiling face and was a little wary. After all, squinting eyes are very scary: "Hello, hello, I wonder why you are here this time?"
"Well, it's like this, Boss Lin. I don't want to rent this house anymore, I want to take it back, so I came here to tell you, I hope you can move out as soon as possible. Of course, your prepaid rent and deposit will be returned to you in full, and the penalty for breach of contract will be in accordance with the contract. Let's do it according to the contract."
The landlord wants to take back the house and not rent it to you anymore?
Lin Fan couldn't believe his ears.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding you, big star. When I rented this house to you, I only charged you 500,000 yuan a year. Now I feel that I'm losing money at this price. I don't want to rent it anymore. I want to take it back. It's that simple."
The landlord walked around the lobby of the B&B, looked at the piano, then at the leather sofa, his eyes sparkling, "Hey, big star, your hardware is really nice. It must have cost a lot of money, right? It's going to be troublesome to move it out, right? Let me make it clear that I have no objection to you taking these things away, but don't break my door."
When the fans in the hall saw the landlord's posture, they all sensed something was wrong. It was obvious that this man was here to cause trouble.
No one was very clear about what was going on, and no one intervened rashly, but just watched and watched. Some fans took out their phones and quietly turned on the video function and pointed it at the landlord when the landlord said he wanted to take back the house.
Lin Fan suppressed his anger and tried to reason with the landlord: "Landlord, I have only rented this house for more than three months, and it took two months to renovate it. I have just started business, and you want to take the house back. Isn't this inappropriate?"
"It's okay if you don't want to take it back. Just buy the house. Let me do the math for you. The house covers an area of 800 square meters, with three floors and 25 rooms. The residential area is 1,375 square meters. Based on the market price of 8,000 per square meter, it's exactly 11 million. But my house itself has been renovated, so we have to calculate it at 13 million."
"That's it. The 400-square-meter yard in the front and back yards, and this basement, are all given to you for free."
The landlord smiled and reached out to pat Lin Fan on the shoulder, but Lin Fan dodged. The landlord didn't care, "Well, big star, you make so much money, you can't even afford a house, right?"
Lin Fan understood that taking back the house was just an excuse. The black-hearted landlord actually wanted to blackmail him and sell the house at a high price. The landlord was sure that his homestay business had just started and he could not afford the loss of the initial investment, so he was so unscrupulous.
Lin Fan flatly refused: "Why should I buy it? When I signed the contract, it was written that I rented this house on an annual basis. Our contract was signed for three years. Even if I only paid one year's rent, according to national law, I have the right to use it for three years. During this process, I did not use it illegally, nor did I operate it illegally. I did not violate the contract at all. You can't take it back for no reason!"
The landlord smiled and said, “Of course!”
Lin Fan frowned, feeling uneasy.
The landlord smiled like a mouse that had successfully stolen something: "Big stars are big stars. They are different from ordinary people like us. Rich people tend to forget things. Maybe you haven't watched it since you signed the contract?"
Contract? Lin Fan found that the landlord was not worried at all when he brought up the contract, and even took the initiative to bring up the contract. Could it be that there was a loophole in the contract that was signed at the beginning?
The skill [Photographic Memory] was activated quickly, and the contract was quickly flipped through his mind. Lin Fan was a little anxious, trying to find out where the loopholes were in the contract.
The landlord did not argue and stated his intention directly: "Either you buy this house or move out within a week. I'm telling you, big star, next time you sign a contract with someone, remember to find a lawyer to take a look first, hehe, haha!"
Lin Fan looked at the landlord's back as he walked away, wishing he could kick this grandson away. But the most urgent thing was to find out the contract first to see what kind of loophole could make this grandson so arrogant!
Lin Fan returned to his room and found the rental contract he had signed. He suppressed his anxiety and read the terms of the contract line by line. When he encountered a doubtful part, he searched the Internet. Until he saw that glaring clause, he almost exploded !
I thought Lian Xiaoyu was a pit, but I didn’t expect that I was actually a huge pit!
You are digging your own grave! The contract period is three years, with annual rent payments and a 5% increase in rent based on market conditions after three years. These are all very normal lease contracts, but the problem lies in the breach of contract clause.
No wonder this grandson is so arrogant, it turns out that he has the right to take back the house, he only needs to give a week's notice and pay three months' rent! There is no compensation for renovation!
I was in a hurry to sign the contract at that time and thought I had bargained successfully, so I didn't read the contract carefully. Moreover, I just wanted to run it slowly and didn't expect to make a lot of money. Who would have thought that I would end up running the Courtyard of My Longing so successfully, with it being packed every day and the room rate being high. Of course, the fans played a big role in this.
Money can make people excited. Anyone who sees that the courtyard they long for is doing so well will be jealous.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
What's more, this person is the landlord!
In fact, this phenomenon is extremely common in society. Landlords become jealous when they see their tenants doing a booming business, and they control the contract and either raise the rent dramatically or directly drive the tenants away. They also forbid the tenants from dismantling the renovations and continue to run the business by changing the storefront.
So many tenants are like grandsons in front of their landlords.
The biggest wish of many tenants is actually to buy the shop, so that their business will be stable.
Whether in his past life or this life, Lin Fan had never run a business of his own, so naturally he didn't know the ins and outs of it.
Now I see that this one thing alone can cost me my life!
The landlord only had to pay 150,000 yuan in compensation, but Lin Fan's loss was much greater.
The money invested in the early decoration and furniture of the Longing Courtyard, and the room reservations are already scheduled until the end of the year. If the landlord really takes back the house, what will happen to the fans who are looking forward to staying in the Longing Courtyard? Cancelling the reservation can avoid the fans' economic losses, but what about the mental losses? In order to go to Huahai Island and stay in Lin Fan's homestay, the fans stayed up late to grab reservations. Those who got the reservations had to adjust their time to go to Huahai Island, and those who didn't get the reservations are still fighting.
If at this time, the longed-for yard is taken back by the landlord, then the fans’ spiritual sustenance will be gone.
Moreover, opening a B&B has always been Lin Fan’s dream, and it is not something that can be given up just like that. The landlord seemed to give Lin Fan two choices, but in fact there was only one, which was to buy the place.
But the grandson asked for 13 million, and Lin Fan couldn't afford that much money! Without 13 million, the 9.5 million he spent on renovations would be completely wasted! Not even a sound! Frustrated!
I was so proud of myself at first, thinking that I had lowered the price very much. Now it seems that it’s not the landlord who is stupid, but myself! At this moment, Lin Fan finally realized that even with the system, he was not invincible. There were still too many things he didn’t understand! There was so much to learn! The system forced me to read for an hour every day, making me alert whether my head was full of water, and reminding myself that learning is always the best way to make myself valuable. I was still very angry and thought that the system was scolding me. Now it seems that this skill of the system is really helping me!
What's funny is that he used comic books to deal with it, and he thought he was smart! At this moment, Lin Fan finally came to his senses. Although he had been cursing the system for cheating him, he was still very happy in his heart, thinking that he could reach the pinnacle of life with the help of the golden finger and marry a beautiful and rich woman!
But no matter how powerful the system's skills are, no matter how much money is given, if you don't master them and don't apply them in real life, what's the use? It's true that there is a magical skill like [Photographic Memory], but what's the use of scanning the contract into your brain when you read it? You didn't even notice such a simple trap clause, and you are still complacent, thinking of yourself as a time traveler! What's the use of having memories of two lives?
So what if we have a system?
Now it seems that I am still far from it! PS: The plot requires that Lin Fan be "tortured" for the last time, and then Lin Fan will grow up completely. This time it is not from the system, nor from Xia Yan, but from the most inadvertent supporting role. Many book friends have guessed this subsequent plot before. Yes, just as you imagined, such a high-priced decoration and such a hot homestay business finally brought Lin Fan the first big trouble since his rebirth. You are really awesome! Muah!
The system's whip can be described as a love-hate relationship. Xia Yan's whip can be described as a wish for her husband to become a dragon. But these were not enough to awaken Lin Fan, because these were imposed on him by others, not what he wanted, so Lin Fan always showed resistance and didn't care, if you give it to me, I'll take it, if you don't give it to me, I won't take it.
The landlord's whip is the beating from society, and only the beating can make Lin Fan truly wake up.
Having the memories of two lives does not necessarily make you stronger than others, and having a system does not necessarily make you powerful. Skills need to become your own, and growth requires going through beatings. Without going through wind and rain, the young eagle will not grow up.
If you don’t like seeing Lin Fan being tortured, you can skip these chapters, but I feel that the character still needs to be more fleshed out. What do you think?
