Get rich quick starting with buying a house with zero down payment

At 10 a.m., in the Garden Hotel's coffee shop, sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, making the room bright and warm.

Shen Mo chose a quiet corner at the back, wearing a dark gray business suit, her hair neatly tied up, and her face covered with delicate makeup, which perfectly concealed her haggard appearance and bloodshot eyes.

She sat upright with her hands on her knees, a glass of water, a neatly printed resume, and several sticky notes filled with key points and questions in front of her.

When Lei Guoliang arrived on time and sat down opposite her, Shen Mo's heart still skipped a beat.

Today he was dressed in a well-tailored dark casual suit, without a tie, exuding a calm and reserved demeanor, quite different from his aloofness at the bar that night and his aggressiveness this morning.

He looked more like a successful young entrepreneur. He was holding a thin folder in his hand.

"Miss Shen, you're right on time." Lei Guoliang nodded slightly to her, his gaze calmly sweeping over her carefully prepared appearance and the documents in front of her, a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

The waiter came over, and he only ordered an Americano.

"Mr. Lei." Shen Mo tried to make his voice sound steady and professional as he met Lei's gaze, even though his fingertips were slightly cold under the table.

She had to define this meeting entirely as a purely professional interview.

Lei Guoliang wasted no time and pushed the folder directly in front of her. "This is a detailed list of 120 fully furnished apartments in Buildings A and B of Dijingyuan, including area, floor, layout, and decoration standards."

This is a preliminary draft of the Letter of Intent for Employment that we have prepared together. You can take a look at it first.

Shen Mo took a deep breath and opened the folder. The property list was incredibly detailed, with each property having a number and brief notes.

Her gaze swept quickly across the properties, and she rapidly assessed their quality and potential rental value in her mind.

With a prime location, mainstream apartment layout, and high-standard decoration, it is definitely a high-end property in Guangzhou's rental market.

Then, she turned to the "Letter of Intent for Employment." The terms were coldly clear:

Position: General Manager (in preparation) of Anjia Tianxia (Yangcheng) Real Estate Management Company.

Responsibilities: Fully responsible for all business operations, maintenance, team management, and brand building in the Guangzhou area.

Authority: Within the budget, independently assemble a team, formulate operational standards, service processes, and rental strategies; manage property and provide brokerage services; independently handle daily operational matters. Report directly to Lei Guoliang.

Salary: 15,000 yuan per month, more than three times her income at the hotel.

Dividends: 15% of the annual operating net profit, settled and distributed annually.

Special Clause: It is clearly agreed that the two parties establish an employment relationship based on the principles of equality, voluntariness and commercial cooperation. Any prior private contact or events shall not affect the validity of this contract or the professional cooperation between the two parties, and neither party may claim rights or make claims on this basis.

This contract supersedes all prior verbal or written communications.

The last point was like a bucket of ice water, instantly snapping Shen Mo out of his immersion in the career assessment, his cheeks uncontrollably flushing slightly.

This clause coldly drew a line, defining that night as a private event that would not affect the collaboration.

It's a form of protection, a form of humiliation, and a reminder that this is a transaction, and that inappropriate emotions should not be mixed in.

She forced herself to calm down and looked up at Lei Guoliang: "Mr. Lei, the terms are very clear. But I have a few questions."

"Excuse me."

"First, what are the initial funding and team setup? Second, what are your specific expectations and timelines for the occupancy rate and rental income of the first 120 units?"

Third, what are the specific calculation methods for profit distribution, and who will audit them? How long will it take to see the first dividend?

Fourth,” she paused, her voice becoming more firm, “I only have you as my direct superior, but if it involves major coordination with the property management or developers, I need clear authorization and support.”

The questions hit the nail on the head, showing that she wasn't just a pretty face, but had genuinely thought about how to operate the business. Lei Guoliang's appreciation deepened.

"The initial funding is one million, which will arrive in your account tomorrow. You have full control over it, and it can be used for office space, initial team salaries, marketing, and emergencies."

You decide the team size; I only care about efficiency and results. I'll give you two months to achieve a 90% occupancy rate for 120 apartments, with an average monthly rent of no less than 3000 yuan.

Profit calculations are handled by my finance team, the accounts are transparent to you, and dividends are distributed after the annual audit. As for authorization…

He leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on her: "As long as it's to achieve your goal, you can use any reasonable means within the budget and legal framework."

If you encounter an obstacle you can't overcome, tell me, and I'll solve it. That's your authorization.

His answer was concise and forceful, granting her a great deal of autonomy while also clearly defining her ultimate responsibility and support.

This trust and delegation of authority made Shen Mo's heart pound, not with fear, but with a long-lost excitement of being entrusted with a great responsibility.

"What if... I don't reach my goal?" she asked the last, and most realistic, question.

Lei Guoliang leaned back in his chair, his fingers lightly tracing the rim of his coffee cup, looking at her intently: "Then it proves I misjudged you. You may lose this job, but you might still have a chance for bonuses."

"And I'll have someone else do it. Business is business, Ms. Shen."

Cruel, but true. There is no warmth, only naked self-interest and performance-driven motivation.

Shen Mo fell silent. She looked at the man before her, then at the tempting yet cold and stern letter of intent in her hand.

High salaries, bonuses, absolute autonomy, an unprecedented platform... but the price is immense performance pressure.

And, with this dangerous and powerful man, she establishes a complex and intimate relationship that defies conventional definition.

"I accept." After a long silence, she heard her own voice clearly say this, picked up a pen, and signed her name on the last page of the employment agreement. The handwriting was a little forceful, but very steady.

Lei Guoliang took the signed document from her, signed his own name, and then put away his copy.

"Welcome to the company, Mr. Shen." He extended his hand to her, his tone formal, as if they had just discussed a routine business deal.

Shen Mo shook hands with him; his hand was dry, warm, and strong. This time, it was no longer the entanglement of that night or the awkwardness of this morning, but the starting point of a formal business cooperation.

"It's a pleasure working with you, Mr. Lei." She tried her best to make her voice sound equally professional.

"You can find your own office location, but it must be easily accessible and you must present a professional image. Team recruitment can begin immediately."

"The keys to the first batch of apartments in Imperial View Garden will be distributed gradually next week. You have a week to prepare." Lei Guoliang began to assign tasks.

"Also, regarding Lin Zude in Changlong, I'll have his people assist you with the handover and inspection of the property. If you have any professional requirements, just mention them directly. Be careful in private."

"Understood." Shen Mo nodded and quickly got into character.

"Keep in touch." Lei Guoliang stood up, left the coffee money, and left without saying another word.

Shen Mo sat alone in the coffee shop. The sun was still shining brightly, but she felt like she had just fought a battle, and her back was slightly damp with sweat.

She watched Lei Guoliang's tall figure leave, then looked down at the copy of the letter of intent in her hand, which had already taken effect, her feelings a complex mix of emotions.

She knew that from this moment on, the trajectory of her life had been completely changed. The road ahead was both a precipice and a vast ocean of stars.

The guide she chose was the very man who had pulled her out of the filth and then personally pushed her onto this perilous path.

Shen Mo's decisiveness was astonishing. Perhaps it was a do-or-die determination, or perhaps he wanted to prove something to Lei Guoliang, and also to himself.

Within three days, she rented a small, spacious unit in a new office building in Tianhe District, simply furnished it as a professional office, and hung up a temporary sign that read "Anjia Tianxia Real Estate".

At the same time, she used the high salary and clear career prospects offered by Lei Guoliang as bait to poach two of her long-time, capable but equally dissatisfied subordinates from the Garden Hotel.

With a front office manager, a customer relations specialist, and four other young people with good looks and strong communication skills selected from the job market, a core team of seven was quickly built.
