Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Is His Second Uncle Really a Swindler?
Zhang Xinxin’s full name is Zhang Xinxin, one year younger than Lin Chuan, currently a senior in college, working on her graduation design at home.
At this moment, she stood outside Lin Chuan’s rental, wearing a cartoon sweatshirt on top and gray cotton sweatpants below, a seemingly ordinary outfit that couldn’t hide her voluptuous figure.
Her skin was also very fair, dewy as if water would ooze out when pinched.
Lin Chuan sighed, this is youth.
The only downside was her love for short videos, which Lin Chuan had caught her watching more than once.
It was somewhat embarrassing.
Zhang Xinxin’s expression was a bit off, “Lin Chuan, I was thinking…”
Lin Chuan stepped back, “Zhang, I know Old Zhang was arrested, and you’re not in a good mood right now, needing to do something enjoyable, but I’m not just anyone.”
Zhang Xinxin frowned and looked at him irritably, “What are you fantasizing about!”
“Then what do you want with me?” Lin Chuan asked.
“Your lease agreement expires next month, are you going to renew it?”
Lin Chuan nodded.
Zhang Xinxin took out the lease agreement from her sweatshirt pocket and handed it to Lin Chuan, “Have a look for any problems, if there are none, then sign it.”
Lin Chuan glanced at the Little Landlady, then turned his attention to the contract.
Geez, the rent had gone up by 200 yuan.
Zhang Xinxin pursed her lips, “In this area, our rent is the lowest, even with an increase of 200 yuan, we are still the lowest.”
Lin Chuan’s face darkened.
The original rent was 800 yuan per month, now it had increased to 1000 yuan, wiping out a month’s earnings from writing.
Life, already tight, became even tougher.
Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then asked, “Zhang, interested in having a game?”
Zhang Xinxin frowned, puzzled, “Having a game?”

Have a game!
Lin Chuan smiled, “Cough, I mean, how about playing poker?”
Zhang Xinxin’s frown deepened, “Are you using slang? Is it a serious game of poker?”
“Serious!” Lin Chuan said with an awkward smile.
“No,” Zhang Xinxin flatly refused.
“Er…”
Lin Chuan furrowed his brows, why wasn’t the plot developing as expected?
If she played poker, then I would just let her lose all the rent money.
But she flat out refused to play poker?
Invincible!
Could it be she wanted to play some dishonest game of poker?
Before Lin Chuan could think further, he heard Zhang Xinxin say, “Old Zhang went to jail over card games, I don’t want to follow in his footsteps.”
“All right, why the sudden rent increase?”
Lin Chuan asked with confusion.
Last time they met, Lin Chuan heard Old Zhang say he hadn’t thought about raising the rent, so he had felt that the landlord was quite conscientious.
Now, out of the blue, the rent had increased.
Zhang Xinxin bit her lip, “Old Zhang lost six hundred thousand last night, so he decided to raise the rent a little.”
Lin Chuan’s eyes widened, his face twitched, “How much did you say!?”
“Six hundred thousand.”
Zhang Xinxin pursed her lips.
Good grief!
Six hundred thousand!
Lin Chuan was taken aback.
He had experienced the life of a swindler last night, had seen a lot of money; six hundred thousand didn’t seem much to ‘Mr. Lin.’
But that was, after all, a fictional life.
In reality, Lin Chuan couldn’t even be considered ‘small fry’, belonging to those dragging down the GDP, having barely made any money and lacking strong purchasing power.
And what about the landlord Old Zhang?
Six hundred thousand, lost just like that.
Gambling is harmful!
Old Zhang’s loss resulted in my rent going up by 200 yuan, I’m always the one who gets hurt.
“So, are you going to renew your lease?” Zhang Xinxin blinked and asked.
“I will.”
Lin Chuan nodded his head.
In this neighborhood, Old Zhang’s rents were over three hundred lower than others, indeed there was none lower than his.
Before earning any money, I would have to continue living here.
