Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

"What's so strange about that? When you don't have a car, you'll find it very novel, but once you have one, you'll realize that a car is just a means of transportation."

"So what if you drive a luxury car? You still have to obey traffic rules and worry about finding a parking space," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Wang Manni said with a smile, "Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly much happier."

"Ha ha……"

Lin Yi smiled, started the vehicle, and set off.

The sound of a sports car is very different from that of an ordinary vehicle.

Wang Manni sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside, and felt like everyone was watching her.

For a moment, Wang Manni was somewhat lost in thought.

She's been in Shanghai for so long, but she's never ridden in such a nice car before. Today she's finally seen it for herself.

Wang Manni pretended to look outside, but was actually looking at Lin Yi who was driving.

Lin Yi's profile was even more captivating than his front view, so Wang Manni quickly looked away, not daring to look at him anymore.

Lin Yi suddenly asked, "Where are we going to eat?"

"go……"

In the past, Wang Manni could have suggested going to any decent restaurant.

But things are different now. Wang Manni clearly senses that Lin Yi is much richer than she thought.

Then going to a regular restaurant wouldn't be appropriate.

But if she wanted to go to a nice place, her finances wouldn't allow it, because she hadn't received her salary yet and didn't have that much money.

Wang Manni had a headache; she never imagined that one day she would have a headache because of eating.

Just as Wang Manni was lost in thought, Lin Yi's car suddenly stopped.

"Hmm?" Wang Manni looked at Lin Yi with a puzzled expression.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "I see you don't know what to eat, so I'll decide for you. How about we eat at this Northeastern Chinese restaurant?"

Wang Manni glanced at it and saw that it wasn't a five-star hotel, but just an ordinary restaurant.

There were quite a few people coming and going. And there was a pleasant aroma wafting through the air.

Wang Manni could smell it very clearly even standing outside.

"Sure," Wang Manni nodded and smiled, "but wouldn't that be inappropriate for your status?"

"Huh? What's my identity? You're overthinking it."

"I am a bit picky about food, but as long as the food in a restaurant is good, I'll eat it," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Wang Manni smiled shyly.

Lin Yi led Wang Manni inside and said, "When I was in college, I often came here to eat with my roommates."

This Northeastern Chinese restaurant has three main characteristics: authentic taste, generous portions, and low prices.

Once you've tried it, you definitely won't regret it.

"You make it sound so good, then I'll have to give it a try," Wang Manni said with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

The first floor was a large lobby, but it was too crowded, so Lin Yi took Wang Manni to the second floor.

The second floor consisted of private rooms, and once the two of them went in, it became much quieter.

At this moment, the waiter came over with the menu.

Lin Yi smiled and ordered two items, which were then placed in front of Wang Manni.

"Don't order too much. There are only two of us, three or four dishes are enough. We won't be able to finish any more."

"Add two more that you like," Lin Yi said.

After seeing this, Wang Manni added a small wild chicken stew with mushrooms, pork ribs stew with green beans, and dried tofu with green peppers.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "There are five dishes already, we definitely can't finish them all."

"It can't be that bad, can it? Let's try our best to finish it," Wang Manni said with a smile.

Twenty minutes later, the dishes were served, and each one had a very strong aroma.

Wang Manni came as soon as she got up, without having eaten. But the aroma made her really hungry.

"What are you standing there for? Let's eat," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"it is good."

Wang Manni enjoyed the meal very much.

It has meat, and it's spicy...

Wang Manni and Lin Yi had both finished eating; there were still quite a few dishes left on the table.

"The amount is indeed large," Wang Manni said, clutching her stomach.

Lin Yi asked with a smile, "How about you try again?"

"I can't eat anymore," Wang Manni said awkwardly.

She thought that even if a dish was a lot, it wasn't much. After all, many dishes in Shanghai are made to look good, but the portion sizes are small.

Today's Northeastern Chinese cuisine was a real lesson for me; I ate with great relish.

But five dishes are simply not enough to finish.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I haven't touched this dish, how about we pack it up?"

Wang Manni was surprised: "You're so rich, you're taking things to go too?"

"Look at what you're saying. Although I'm rich, I never splurge when it comes to food," Lin Yi said.

Although our country has plenty of food, Lin Yi never wastes food.

Wang Manni instantly understood why Lin Yi only touched four dishes. It turned out he knew that the two of them definitely couldn't finish them and would end up packing them up.

So Lin Yi didn't touch it at all.

Wang Manni didn't mince words and directly called out, "Waiter, a takeout box, please."

"Ok."

Not long after the food was packed, the two did not leave immediately, but sat in the private room for a while.

"I never expected you to be so rich and so down-to-earth. It's hard for me to believe," Wang Manni said.

"What's the big deal?" Lin Yi smiled, not taking it to heart at all.

After resting for a while, Wang Manni went to pay the bill.

Five dishes cost 259 yuan, and we didn't finish them all, so we packed one to go.

And there was so much food, and they seemed to be enjoying it so much.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Are you busy later?"

"It's nothing," Wang Manni shook her head.

“Okay, you treat me to dinner, and I’ll take you home,” Lin Yi said.

"Thank you then," Wang Manni said with a smile.

Actually, it only cost a small amount, and she was too embarrassed to say that she treated everyone to dinner.

Lin Yi drove Wang Manni to her residence.

Sitting in the car, Wang Manni felt that passersby were looking at her, and many people were envious of her...

I don't know if it's a psychological problem.

At first, she was a little embarrassed, but after sitting for a while, she became bolder and looked directly outside.

As Wang Manni sat in the car, she saw many people pointing and whispering about them.

Even when the car was moving slowly, or when it stopped at a traffic light, Wang Manni could still hear their chatter, a mixture of surprise and envy.

Wang Manni instantly felt that her vanity had been greatly satisfied.

Lin Yi asked, "Why did you go to the matchmaking corner?"

“Ah… my mom, she says I’m not young anymore, so she keeps urging me to find a partner,” Wang Manni said.

Actually, she went to the matchmaking corner not because her mother was urging her, but because she was stimulated and wanted to find a very good boyfriend.

Who knew that I would run into Lin Yi.

Her mother often urges her to find a partner, so using her mother as a shield this time shouldn't be considered lying, right?

"You can definitely take a look; you never know, you might run into them," Lin Yi said with a smile. "But you don't need to take those words to heart."

"Hmm." Wang Manni blushed slightly when she remembered.

She thought she was invincible, but ended up being utterly defeated by the Shanghai aunties.

These Shanghai aunties really made her sound completely worthless.

Isn't her youth an advantage?

Isn't her good figure an advantage?

Isn't her beauty an advantage?

Isn't her ability to do housework an advantage?

Despite having so many advantages, those Shanghai aunties insist on asking questions like, "Are you a local from Shanghai?" and "How high is your education level?"

I get angry just thinking about Wang Manni; she should have given them a piece of her mind back then.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking, they made me sound so bad back then, and I didn't even argue with them," Wang Manni said embarrassedly.

"Haha, isn't that normal? This is your first time in a place like this. You'll understand once you've been on more blind dates."
