Chapter 10: A Sale Does Not Break a Lease; Please Pay the Rent on Time

"No thanks, I have no interest in racing."

Even if Yun Zijin lacked safety awareness, she wouldn't go participate in some racing competition with someone she had just met, whose name she didn't even know was real or fake.

"Don't be like that. It doesn't matter if you can't race. As a girl, you just need to sit in the passenger seat and cheer me on.

Don't worry, I'm definitely not a bad person. If it ends late, I'll drive you home myself."

"Do you think a normal girl would go participate in a racing competition with a stranger she just met?"

Yun Zijin said this very bluntly, and Sheng Yang suddenly didn't know how to respond.

For a moment, he actually felt that what Yun Zijin said made a lot of sense. How was that possible?

In all his years, this was the first time Sheng Yang had been rejected so bluntly by a girl, and he suddenly became even more interested in Yun Zijin.

"Fine, I understand your concerns. But meeting is fate. If we aren't going to the race, then adding each other on WeChat is fine, right?"

Sheng Yang took out his phone, pulled up his personal QR code, and held it out in front of Yun Zijin.

Yun Zijin didn't want to drag things out with him, so she took out her phone, scanned the code, and added him as a friend.

"Done."

Looking at the friend request from the WeChat name "Qingqing Zijin," Sheng Yang clicked accept in a very good mood.

"I'm going to look at cars. See you next time. I hope you'll agree to accompany me to a racing competition then."

Racing was almost a daily routine; someone organized one every few days. It was all about the thrill.

Yun Zijin offered a stiff, insincere smile. They were people from two completely different worlds; the possibility of meeting again was basically zero.

Yun Zijin waited in the lounge for about 40 minutes before Lilith came trotting back in her high heels.

"Ms. Yun, your license plate and all the vehicle purchase procedures have been completed. If you have your driver's license, you can drive on the road immediately.

Here are the car keys and the relevant invoice documents. Please keep them safe."

Lilith handed the car keys and the spare key to Yun Zijin, then handed over a document folder.

Yun Zijin took the keys, put one in her bag, and held the other in her hand.

Only then did she begin to check the folder Lilith had given her. After confirming that the invoices and other documents inside were in order, she reorganized them and snapped the folder shut.

"Everything is fine. Sorry to trouble you with this errand. I'll be going now."

With a car, it would be much more convenient for Yun Zijin to commute to and from work.

"Like rain falling when the clouds are low, my heart stirred when you sang softly..."

Just as Yun Zijin was about to drive out of the Auto Expo City, her phone rang.

Seeing an unfamiliar number on the caller ID, Yun Zijin subconsciously thought it was Xia Zhiyun borrowing someone else's phone to call her again.

She watched the phone ring for a long time without answering, until it finally hung up automatically.

Lilith, however, had caught a glimpse of the number and felt it looked somewhat familiar. But as a salesperson, she didn't dare to speak up at a time like this.

When the phone rang a second time, Yun Zijin finally answered.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Ms. Yun Zijin?"

Confirming that the person on the other end wasn't Xia Zhiyun, Yun Zijin felt half-relieved.

"It is. Who are you..."

"Hello, Ms. Yun. I am Wu Yutang, the person in charge of the Auto Expo City in the southern suburbs of Di Jing. I just received news that you have purchased all the real estate in the Auto Expo City, including the land. Regarding that lease contract..."

It was July, just the time to pay the third-quarter rent.

Wu Yutang was afraid that Yun Zijin had other plans after buying the Auto Expo City property, so he had called in a hurry as soon as he received the news.

"A sale does not invalidate a lease. The rental contract has already been transferred to my name. The original landlord should have told you. Mr. Wu, you just need to follow the contract and pay the rent to me on time.

However, I heard that the contract you signed with the original landlord expires at the end of this year.

If you need to renew, you need to notify me one month in advance."

If Wu Yutang didn't renew, she would have to find new tenants, so notifying her a month in advance was a must.

After all, it was such a large area; finding a new lessee wouldn't be an easy task.

"Of course, of course. Barring any accidents, I certainly intend to renew. Thank you for your convenience, Ms. Yun."

Hearing Yun Zijin's words, Wu Yutang knew she wasn't the type of landlord to be unreasonable.

But thinking about it, someone who could quietly take over the entire Auto Expo City property probably didn't care much about his 500 million monthly rent.

That's right, the rent for the entire Auto Expo City was 500 million a month, totaling 6 billion a year.

This price was entirely due to the fact that the Auto Expo City was located in a remote area with low foot traffic, but it was massive. With such a large space and a full range of car brands, many wealthy people specifically chose the Southern Suburb Auto Expo City to buy cars.

"You're welcome, it's mutually beneficial. The original landlord should have told you, and you should have seen the rental contract transfer agreement. My bank information is on it. Just deposit the third-quarter rent into my account before the 5th of this month."

"Don't worry, I will pay the rent on time."

Although he could tell that Yun Zijin was likely young, Wu Yutang didn't know why, but he couldn't bring himself to have any ill intentions toward her.

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I need to drive."

Because of this call, Yun Zijin had wasted another 10 minutes.

On the other side, Sheng Yang had also picked out a car, but the store didn't have it in stock. It required a pre-order, and he would have to wait half a month to pick it up.

When Sheng Yang came out after signing the purchase contract, he saw Yun Zijin just hanging up her phone.

"Qingqing!"

Hearing Sheng Yang call her Qingqing, Yun Zijin didn't react at first. It took a moment for her to remember that this was the name she had just given him.

"Mr. Sheng."

"Why 'Mr. Sheng'? That's too distant. Qingqing can call me Sheng Yang, or 'Brother Sheng Yang' is fine too."

Sheng Yang struck a pose he thought was very cool toward Yun Zijin.

Yun Zijin almost threw up her dinner from the night before.

"I have things to do, so I'll be going."

Yun Zijin gathered her things and walked quickly out of the Porsche dealership. She soon saw the "Ice Berry Pink" car that the staff had just unloaded at the entrance.

It had to be said that there was a reason why Ice Berry Pink had become one of the most popular luxury car colors for women.

Regardless of what others thought, Yun Zijin was stunned the moment she saw it.

When she sat in the driver's seat, she felt even more like a princess in a fairy tale.

Yun Zijin hadn't touched a car since getting her license, but fortunately, she found her rhythm quickly and drove quite steadily.

She drove safely all the way back to Danxing Yuhua Mansion and registered her license plate with the security guard so she wouldn't need to register when entering or leaving in the future.

Yun Zijin drove the car into the garage of Villa No. 1. After trying several times, she finally succeeded in backing it into the parking space.

Back home, as soon as Yun Zijin opened her phone, she received a flurry of notification sounds.

Not only WeChat, but there were also text messages and several missed calls.

Yun Zijin felt a bit strange. She clicked on one of the text messages to check the content.
