Chapter 664: Stay Confident and Show Your Strengths

In the next few days, Lin Yuan and Li Xiaoyue worked closely to list in detail all the questions that needed to be asked. They discussed various possible scenarios and developed strategies to deal with them.

Lin Yuan also specifically checked the relevant laws and regulations to ensure that this co-tenancy arrangement would not violate any regulations.

At the same time, Lin Yuan was also secretly investigating the background of the homeowner to ensure that everything was safe. He even used some connections to hire someone to inspect the house on the spot.

Finally, after confirming most of the details, Lin Yuan contacted the homeowner and arranged a meeting.

He and Li Xiaoyue prepared carefully together, hoping to leave a good impression on the homeowner.

Just the night before the meeting, Li Xiaoyue nervously sent Lin Yuan a message: "Brother Lin Yuan, I'm a little scared. What if the meeting doesn't go well tomorrow?"

Lin Yuan quickly replied: "Don't worry, Xiaoyue. Remember, this is just one of many choices. Even if it doesn't succeed this time, we have other plans. The most important thing is, stay confident and show your strengths. I I believe you can do it. "

Li Xiaoyue looked at the phone screen and took a deep breath. She knew that tomorrow might be a turning point in her life. Regardless of the outcome, at least she tried.

With this thought, Li Xiaoyue slowly calmed down and began to make final preparations for tomorrow's meeting. After several days of careful preparation, Lin Yuan and Li Xiaoyue finally came to the day to meet the homeowner.

They arrived at the appointed cafe early and waited nervously and expectantly.

After a while, a middle-aged lady walked in. She glanced around and quickly locked onto Lin Yuan and Li Xiaoyue.

"Hello, I'm Aunt Zhang." The lady approached with a smile, "Are you Lin Yuan and Li Xiaoyue?"

Lin Yuan stood up and stretched out his hand politely: "Hello, Aunt Zhang. I am Lin Yuan, and this is Li Xiaoyue. Nice to meet you."

Li Xiaoyue also quickly stood up and said hello: "Hello Aunt Zhang, I am Li Xiaoyue. Thank you for being willing to meet us."

Aunt Zhang smiled kindly: "You're welcome, sit down and chat."

After the three of them sat down, Aunt Zhang said straight to the point: "I read the list of questions you sent, which is very detailed. I can see that you have thought about it seriously. How about I briefly introduce the situation first?"

Lin Yuan and Li Xiaoyue nodded in agreement.

Aunt Zhang said slowly: "Actually, this house belongs to my son. He went to study abroad, and the house is empty. I thought that instead of leaving it idle, it would be better to find someone to take care of it. But we don't lack the rent money. , and I hope to find a reliable person to help take care of the house. "

She looked at Li Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, I heard that you can do housework and like to cook?"

Li Xiaoyue nodded quickly: "Yes, Aunt Zhang. I have helped my family with housework since I was a child, and I also like to study recipes."

Aunt Zhang showed a satisfied smile: "That's great. In fact, our request is very simple. We hope you can keep the house clean and help prepare some home-cooked meals occasionally. My son will also be able to eat delicious meals when he comes back from vacation. "

Lin Yuan felt a little at ease when he heard this. But he still asked cautiously: "Aunt Zhang, can you tell me specifically what housework needs to be done? Also, if Xiaoyue finds a job in the future, can this arrangement be adjusted?"

Aunt Zhang nodded: "Of course. The main housework is daily cleaning, laundry, etc. As for cooking, my son is usually away, so there is no need to do it every day. If Xiaoyue finds a job in the future, we can renegotiate, such as starting to pay part of the rent. , reduce chores. We’d love to offer flexible options to good tenants.”

Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Aunt Zhang, you are so kind. I promise to take good care of the house."

Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Xiaoyue. Let's look at the house first. If you think it's suitable, we'll discuss the specific terms in detail."

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement: "Aunt Zhang is right. Xiaoyue, let's go see the house."

The three of them left the cafe and headed to Aunt Zhang's son's house.

Along the way, Aunt Zhang enthusiastically introduced the surrounding environment, while Li Xiaoyue listened attentively and asked questions from time to time.

When they arrived at the house, Aunt Zhang took them to visit each room.

Although the house is not big, it is neat and tidy, with plenty of sunlight and complete facilities.

Li Xiaoyue walked into the kitchen and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Wow, this kitchen is great! With such complete equipment, it must be very convenient to cook."

Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "Yes, my son likes to cook very much, so he arranged it specially. If you also like to cook, that would be perfect."

After the visit, the three of them sat in the living room and continued talking. Lin Yuan carefully asked some details, such as how to share the water and electricity bills, whether a deposit is required, etc.

Aunt Zhang answered all the questions one by one with a sincere attitude.

When the conversation came to an end, Aunt Zhang looked at Li Xiaoyue and said: "Xiaoyue, if you think it's appropriate, let's sign a simple agreement. But I still want to remind you that although you don't have to pay rent, you must ensure that the house is taken care of. It's a responsibility for both of us."

Li Xiaoyue nodded seriously: "I understand, Aunt Zhang. I will definitely take good care of the house, just like I treat my own home."

Lin Yuan added from the side: "Aunt Zhang, we also hope to communicate regularly and solve possible problems in a timely manner. What do you think?"

Aunt Zhang readily agreed: "Of course, this is a good idea. We can meet and chat every month to see what needs to be improved."

Just like that, with Lin Yuan as witness, Aunt Zhang and Li Xiaoyue reached a preliminary agreement.

Li Xiaoyue's eyes were wet with excitement. She finally had a safe place to live and could temporarily stay away from the pressure at home.

When leaving, Aunt Zhang said enthusiastically: "Xiaoyue, tell me when it is convenient for you to move in. I will help you prepare some daily necessities."

Li Xiaoyue said gratefully: "Thank you, Aunt Zhang. I will arrange it as soon as possible."

On the way back, Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but hold Lin Yuan's hand: "Brother Lin Yuan, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would never have encountered such a good opportunity."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You're welcome, Xiaoyue. This is all your own efforts. Remember, this is just the beginning. Next, you have to plan your future well and don't let this opportunity down."

Li Xiaoyue nodded heavily: "I understand. I will definitely work hard and will not let you and Aunt Zhang down."

Lin Yuan looked at Li Xiaoyue's determined eyes, and his heart was full of relief. He knew that this kind girl finally ushered in a turning point in her life. Although the road ahead is still full of challenges, at least she has found a haven where she can take a breath.

Just then, Lin Yuan's phone suddenly vibrated.

He took out his phone and saw that the netizens on Congming.com had already learned the good news and sent their blessings:

"Great! Xiaoyue finally has a safe place to live!"
