Seeing Xu Ying, Yao Shuang described the horrifying scene outside and said with lingering fear, “Fortunately, thanks to my brother, I was able to rent a place here. Otherwise, we would be the ones worrying outside. Pingping, Anan, say hello to your Sister Ying.”

The elder brother was called Pingping, and he was eight years old. The younger sister was called Anan, and she was six years old. She was very similar to Yao Shuang. They were polite and well-educated, but they were a little timid. After greeting her, they held their mother’s hand nervously and didn’t dare to look up.

Xu Ying patted the two children’s heads and led them to a room and a living room that had been prepared beforehand.

Yao Shuang looked at the bedroom, the cute and comfortable double bunk bed, the small desk and chair, the single bed, the wardrobe, and the privacy curtains that had been prepared for her. She burst into tears on the spot.

“Boss Xu, I really don’t know what to say. Thank you. I thank you on behalf of the two children.”

The two children thanked their sister in a childish voice.

Xu Ying was embarrassed.

“Landlady, is this table prepared for us? And this drawing book as well?” Pingping and Anan was also too happy because of the appearance of the new item and actually dared to speak.

“It’s for you. There are also watercolor pens and rulers on it.” Xu Ying had seen these when she was buying children’s furniture. She thought that the children would like them since they were cheap, so she bought them. In the beginning, she really thought that it was just a decoration.

However, Xu Ying’s heart was filled with complicated feelings when she saw how happy he was. The apocalypse really made life difficult.

Yao Shuang was so touched that she was about to burst into tears. She readily transferred three months’ worth of rent, which was sixty thousand gold coins.

Before Yao Fei left, he actually left a sum of money for her and her child. In addition to the compensation for the sacrifice and the monthly allowance, as well as the salary that Xu Ying paid her later, it was enough for her to rent a house to support her child. Especially now that she could work, she felt that her life was no longer dark.

Xu Ying’s total assets had increased to more than 120,000 gold coins. The system needed 200,000 gold coins to level up to level 4, and it had already advanced by more than half. However, the number of rooms had to reach 50.

“Have a good rest today. You have to help me screen tenants tomorrow. Also, I’ll give you 10,000 gold coins a month. If you do well, you’ll get a bonus and a raise. Can you accept it?” Xu Ying said.

She still had two one-bedroom apartments and a double room that she had yet to rent out.

Yao Shuang nodded. “Thank you so much. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.” She would do it even if it was only two or three thousand, let alone ten thousand. This feeling of being needed was too good!

After the assistant was selected, Xu Ying began to worry about the cleaner. After all, there were so many public areas. It would be terrible for her to clean them up alone.

Xu Ying remembered Lan Xiaofei, who helped her clean up last time. She found the contact information of Lan Xiaofei’s mother, Lan Xia, and left a message for her to wait for Lan Xia to come back from work at night.

Xu Ying wanted to thank Lan Xiaofei for helping her clean up last time.

“Boss Xu, you’re too polite!” Lan Xia quickly waved her hand. My daughter isn’t busy with work, so it’s fine to ask her to help you. Besides, you’ve built such a good environment for us. You have a small canteen and a washing machine. Let alone the apocalypse, even in the apocalypse, I’ve never met a landlord like you. It’s only right for us tenants to maintain the environment here.”

Xu Ying was moved by her words, but she still said, “But I can’t let Xiao Fei do it for free. How about this? I want to pay Xiao Fei to do one to two hours of cleaning every day after work. I’ll give Xiao Fei a monthly allowance of 3,000 gold coins…”

“No need!” Lan Xia interrupted. I’ll help you tell the tenants to pay attention to hygiene. If they see trash, they can just throw it away. The rest will be left to Xiao Fei. It doesn’t cost money.

Xu Ying didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She could only thank him. Some good intentions didn’t have to be rejected.

“Then it’s settled.” Lan Xia smiled. “But Boss Xu, if you have any ideas, then give us two more washing machines. There have been so many people recently that we can’t use them all. We’re starting to line up.”

Xu Ying did not say anything else. That night, she ordered four more.

Ten washing machines were neatly arranged, which surprised the tenants who came back from work.

Lan Xia took the opportunity to say, “Neighbors, Boss Xu is good to us. Everyone has seen it for themselves. I won’t say anything about it. Usually, everyone would not cause trouble for Boss Xu. Everyone would pay attention to trivial matters such as hygiene. After eating in the canteen, they would take it away by themselves. They would wipe the tables and when they went out, they would throw away the rubbish when they saw it.”
