The Rejuvenation System of Hehuan: Starting with a Young Woman in an Apartment

Chapter 58 Investing in Apartments? Bai Ling Takes the Bait

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Bai Ling couldn't help but shudder, and then a trace of shame appeared on her face.

Bai Ling hadn't expected Chen Mo to trust her so much, especially when Chen Mo mentioned that Bai Ling would give him a leisurely job so he could retire comfortably; this made her feel even more ashamed.

Because Bai Ling is currently in serious debt, a few days ago she deliberately came to pick a fight with Chen Mo, trying to find an excuse to fire him and reduce expenses.

Although she wasn't ultimately expelled, Bai Ling did exactly that.

However, Chen Mo still trusted her completely, and it was such a large sum of money.

For someone as loyal and devoted as Bai Ling, it's hard not to feel ashamed.

Bai Ling couldn't help but say, "Uncle Chen, I..."

Seeing Bai Ling's reaction, Chen Mo feigned confusion and asked, "Bai Ling, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Bai Ling immediately snapped out of her daze and shook her head at Chen Mo, saying, "No, nothing."

Bai Ling was deeply moved. She had just been about to fire Chen Mo, and now she was asking him for investment again. This made her feel extremely ashamed, and she didn't know how to bring it up.

It was Chen Mo who broke the silence.

At this moment, Bai Ling looked up at Chen Mo and said, "Uncle Chen, if you really want to invest in real estate projects and just want to be a landlord, I have a suggestion, but I feel it's a bit presumptuous."

"Please don't be angry after you finish listening."

Chen Mo knew exactly what Bai Ling wanted to say, but he pretended to be magnanimous and said, "It doesn't matter. I believe whatever you say."

Bai Ling took a deep breath and then said, "So, Mr. Chen, what do you think of my apartment building?"

Chen Mo feigned surprise and said, "Your apartment building is quite nice. I feel very comfortable working here, and it's always bustling with people."

That's why I wanted to be a landlord.

Bai Ling was also quite surprised. She hadn't expected that Chen Mo wanted to be a landlord because of this apartment building.

If that's the case, then that would be even better.

However, Bai Ling was unaware that Chen Mo had deliberately led her astray. Although he knew that Bai Ling was desperately short of money, he couldn't let her arouse suspicion.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to win over a girl with a high score like Bai Ling, and it would take even more time.

The next moment, Bai Ling said to Chen Mo, "So that's how it is, that's great."

Bai Ling looked somewhat excited.

Chen Mo continued, feigning surprise, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Bai Ling then said, "Uncle Chen, it's like this, my apartment is currently short of funds and I'm looking for an investment. If you really have such funds, I hope you can invest in me."

Chen Mo feigned surprise for a moment, then looked at Bai Ling with a puzzled expression and said, "Impossible, right? Your apartment seems to be doing quite well, doesn't it?"

"Aren't apartment landlords supposed to just sit back and collect money every day? How could they be short of cash?"

Chen Mo pretended not to know, acting like a novice; otherwise, he would probably have aroused Bai Ling's suspicion.

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Bai Ling's expression instantly turned speechless. She looked at Chen Mo as if he were a novice, but she also felt relieved.

Bai Ling was also worried that if she encountered a seasoned one, she might be tricked by Chen Mo.

Now that Chen Mo said that, he felt relieved.

Bai Ling continued to explain patiently, and then said, "Grandpa, it's not like that. I also had to invest in this apartment. When I first started renovating this apartment, I took out a loan from the bank and spent a lot of money."

"In recent years, the rental business has not been doing well. We can't collect rent, and we've also renovated the place, which has cost us a lot of money, leaving us with debt pressure."

"If Mr. Chen is interested, he can invest in my apartment. This would align with his idea of ​​investing in real estate, and he could also become a shareholder of the apartment, that is, a landlord."

What do you think?

Hearing Bai Ling say this, Chen Mo was momentarily surprised. He hadn't expected Bai Ling to be so straightforward and tell him the truth about her debts directly.

This impressed Chen Mo greatly. It seemed that, just as the system had said, Bai Ling was a kind and righteous person. Although she really wanted Chen Mo's investment, she didn't want to cheat him.

After telling Chen Mo the whole truth, let Chen Mo make his own choice.

Therefore, Bai Ling is indeed a worthwhile investment.

However, he certainly couldn't agree so directly, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "This..."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Bai Ling immediately became anxious and said to him, "Uncle Chen, are you afraid I'll cheat you?"

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "No, that's not it. I trust your character, and you're also the granddaughter of my best friend."

"But I remember this is an asset left to you by your grandfather. If you let me invest and become a shareholder, wouldn't that be handing over a portion of the control to me?"

"You will no longer have absolute say in this house."

Hearing Chen Mo say this, Bai Ling's eyes instantly dimmed, and she said to Chen Mo, "Actually, I don't want it to be like this either, but I really have no other choice."

"Because of this apartment, I'm already heavily in debt, and banks and various lending companies are unwilling to lend me money anymore."

"If I can't pay off my debts, this apartment will be mortgaged and auctioned off."

"Of course, some people have approached me wanting to invest, but the prices they offered were too low, and I wasn't very comfortable with them."

Immediately afterwards, Bai Ling looked at Chen Mo and said, "But Uncle Chen, you're different. You're my grandfather's best friend, so I hope you can help me."

"I also believe you won't do anything harmful to this apartment."

"If you really do that, I won't complain at all. After all, you're my grandfather's best friend, and I believe he won't blame me."

Bai Ling sat in front of Chen Mo, then placed her hands on her lap and clenched her fists tightly.

Seeing this, Chen Mo suddenly became thoughtful. He hadn't expected that he was the best choice in Bai Ling's heart.

However, what she said is not wrong. After all, Bai Ling's original intention in running this apartment was because of her grandfather. If the control fell into the hands of others, and something happened to the apartment, she would feel ashamed to face her grandfather.

But Chen Mo is different. Chen Mo is her grandfather's best friend. If Chen Mo invests and saves her apartment, even if he does something to Bai Ling's apartment in the future, Bai Ling will feel that she has done something to appease her grandfather.

This saved Chen Mo a lot of trouble.

In that case, he's saved himself the trouble of having to outwit Bai Ling anymore.

Then, feigning sudden realization, he said, "Oh, I see. Well, that's something worth considering."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Bai Ling instantly became excited. She jumped up from her chair, walked to Chen Mo, grabbed his hands tightly, and exclaimed excitedly, "Really? Uncle Chen!"

Chen Mo was stunned when Bai Ling suddenly got so close to him, and a glimpse of snow-white skin flashed into his eyes.
