Entertainment: From Street Interviews to Global Stardom-Chapter 28 - Starting Today, I’m a Landlord!
Chapter 28: Starting Today, I’m a Landlord!
Yang Fan, who had already gotten into the car, hurriedly rolled down the window and took the package from the front desk receptionist. He then glanced at the sender’s name on the package: “Hengdian.” His smile widened.
Sure enough, it was the deed for his ten properties in Hengdian!
“Did the delivery guy say anything when he left this package with you at the front desk?” Yang Fan asked curiously.
The receptionist scratched her head, thinking hard, and then said, “Oh, I remember now. He said your phone was off, and he couldn’t reach you, so he left it at the front desk for us to give it to you.”
“Alright, thanks,” Yang Fan smiled and nodded.
He did indeed turn off his phone during the interview, so it was understandable that the delivery guy couldn’t reach him.
The car slowly started to drive away, and the receptionist waved goodbye to Yang Fan, her face full of adoration.
Yang Fan looked at his hotel colleagues, Jing Boran, Wu Jing, and Zhang Yi, who were dying to interact with him. He then glanced at the package in his hands and fell into deep thought.
“Forget it,” he decided he’d open it when he was alone.
If he opened it in the car, it would come across as showing off. The problem was, given the wealth of everyone around him, who wouldn’t have more than he did?
If he showed off here, wouldn’t that be a joke?
Yang Fan placed the package on his lap and showed no intention of opening it.
However, Wu Jing, who was bursting with curiosity, had his eyes fixed on the package.
“Yang Fan, aren’t you here on a business trip? What could be important enough to be mailed to you here for signing?” Wu Jing asked in confusion.
Yang Fan’s eyes flickered for a moment, and he casually made something up. “Maybe it’s a gift from a local fan.”
The others immediately understood. So it was from a local fan! If it was a fan from the area, receiving the package that day wasn’t too surprising.
But, since it was a fan gift, shouldn’t they get to take a look?
Wu Jing and Zhang Yi exchanged glances, silently agreeing. One of them held Yang Fan down while the other quickly snatched the package from his hands.
“Yang Fan, what did the fan send you? Let us see,” Wu Jing said, holding the package and playing with it without rushing to open it.
Yang Fan raised an eyebrow. “How would I know? Stop messing around and give it back!”
“Hey, hey, Yang Fan, you’re just being stingy. We just want to take a look, not take it. What are you afraid of? Could it be that there’s something in here you don’t want us to see?” Zhang Yi teased with a grin, cutting off Yang Fan’s attempts to refuse.
“Well, you can look, but after you do, don’t say anything about it,” Yang Fan said reluctantly. He gave in and let Wu Jing open the package.
Jing Boran, sitting in the front passenger seat, glanced back curiously. Hu Ge wanted to look as well, but as the driver, he had to behave.
In no time, Wu Jing had torn open the package.
Inside the package was a delicate carved flower box. The packaging alone screamed that whatever was inside was surely expensive!
Wu Jing thought it was just a trinket from a fan, but when he saw the packaging, combined with Yang Fan’s nervous expression, he suddenly felt he might have made a mistake.
Could it really be a fan gift? It didn’t seem like it!
Wu Jing held the box in his hand, not sure whether to return it to Yang Fan or not.
Yang Fan rolled his eyes helplessly. “Fine, since you’ve already opened it, just look. I might as well see what kind of house is on my property.”
Wu Jing’s heart skipped a beat. “House? Yang Fan’s house? Could it be the deed?”
“Hahaha, as expected! It wasn’t a fan gift!”
“But Yang Fan was impressive, having his own property at such a young age!”
“Hold on!!! The timing of this property was too suspicious. Could it be that some company sent it to him in an attempt to recruit him?”
“Damn!!!”
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Jing almost cursed out loud.
He hurriedly opened the box, and inside was a thick bundle of property deeds that almost blinded him.
“This couldn’t be a gift from any company, right? Who would give away a house like this, in bundles?”
Zhang Yi and Jing Boran were also shocked, never imagining that Yang Fan’s property deeds would come in such bulk.
“Wow, Yang Fan, I didn’t realize you’re a rich second-generation!” Hu Ge said, looking through the rearview mirror with a shocked expression.
Yang Fan fell silent. Actually, he was from a poor family, but in this situation, if he said that, no one would believe him!
Forget it. No need to say anything.
Wu Jing laughed happily. Being a rich second-generation is great; they’re never short on money.
If you think you can bribe them with money, think again as they already have so much of it!
Wu Jing was almost certain that none of the people in this car would be able to win over Yang Fan, the rich second-generation!
The biggest leverage they had with Yang Fan was money, but now, Yang Fan was someone who wasn’t lacking in money at all.
This was getting interesting!
“Wow, Hengdian properties, nice stuff! Hey, Yang Fan, are these properties vacant?” Wu Jing started thinking about what he could gain from this.
“Probably, I’m not sure,” Yang Fan replied. The system had just given him the properties, but it hadn’t mentioned whether they were vacant.
Jing Boran looked at him speechlessly. “No way, bro. You’re the property owner, and you don’t even know if your own house is vacant?”
Yang Fan nodded sincerely. “I really don’t know!”
Zhang Yi was speechless. “Yang Fan, tell us the truth. How many properties do you have?”
“Looking at that confused look on your face, you must have at least 180 houses, right? Otherwise, there’s no way you wouldn’t know!”
Yang Fan: “…”
Wu Jing: “…”
Hu Ge: “…”
Jing Boran: “…”
Yang Fan fell silent. He really couldn’t answer this question.
After all, he had a system only in his mind, and in a few days, he might actually have a hundred properties.
“Hey, Yang Fan, rent one to me. That way, when I’m shooting in Hengdian, I won’t have to stay in hotels every day,” Wu Jing said, very pleased with the property’s location.
“Yang Fan, I want one too!” Zhang Yi’s eyes lit up. Wu Jing was quick-witted.
They didn’t need Hengdian property, but they needed a personal connection with Yang Fan.
After all, Yang Fan turned out to be a rich second-generation who didn’t lack money. To win him over, they needed to build a good relationship with him.
But if they became landlord and tenant, it would be much easier for them to meet and develop that relationship!
Hu Ge and Jing Boran immediately realized the benefits and both said, “Yang Fan, I want one too!”
“System, are these properties livable now?” Yang Fan asked, feeling a bit tempted. There was no point in letting these properties sit idle, and sooner or later, they’d be rented out.
Better sooner than later.
And the people here were trustworthy, so he didn’t have to worry about them damaging his properties.

「The properties are all fully furnished and ready for immediate move-in!」
The system’s answer made Yang Fan quite happy.
He waved his hand grandly. “Fine, since these ten properties are just sitting there, you guys can rent them if you want.”
“As for how much rent they go for in Hengdian, I’m not sure. You can just pay the market price, no need to overpay,” Yang Fan said, not wanting to be a greedy landlord. Market price was fine.
Wu Jing looked at him, speechless. “You’re such a laid-back landlord. You bought ten properties in Hengdian, and yet you tell me you don’t know anything about the place?”
Yang Fan nodded sincerely. He really didn’t know…
Even when he traveled to Hengdian for business, he stayed in hotels. But there was something even bigger on his mind.
“Hey, Wu Jing, I need a small favor from you!” Yang Fan smiled.
