SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Chapter 140

Diamond understood what the man was playing at, but she didn’t hate the idea. However, there were a lot of things that needed her attention, so she wanted to deal with the issue as soon as possible.

"It’s not a problem. I am here now."

"Hehe, then please follow me."

Diamond didn’t waste any more time and followed the manager to his office. Diamond noticed that there weren’t a lot of people in the offices and that was the first question she asked as soon as she was comfortable in the office.

"As the apartment hasn’t officially opened to the public yet, some staff are still on their leave."

Upon hearing that answer, Diamond felt that it made sense.

After that, Diamond took out the deeds and showed them to the manager, whose name was Aleck. Aleck looked through the deeds one by one and confirmed that everything was legit.

After checking the documents, Aleck had the receptionist make some copies while he showed Diamond around the block.

Diamond wasn’t going to just leave without taking a look at her property, so she dedicatedly looked at nearly every apartment for a couple of floors. After finding out that the apartment designs were literally the same, she found no reason to waste her time anymore.

She also checked the underground garage and was very satisfied with it.

It took her nearly two hours to check the building, so by the time she was done, it was around five in the evening and the clock was ticking.

When she received her deeds back, she looked at Aleck and instructed him, "I will leave all the apartments from the first to the sixth floor. The top four floors, I will find tenants myself."

When Aleck heard that, he was so happy as that meant that business was officially open again.

"I will release the news as soon as possible. So, how we will deal with the rent rates?"

Diamond had thought about it for a while and even compared a few places just to make sure.

Greenbay apartments were in a great neighborhood. There was even a university close by, and the CBD was less than thirty minutes away.

"Increase the previous rates by fifteen percent," she flatly said.

For an apartment that cost over three million, she needed to get what she deserved. From what she had learnt from Aleck, when the apartments were operating, the rent, including utilities, was A$20,000, which was quite pricey for a place, but who made the apartments to be in such a well sought out place?

However, a lot of things happened during the time the building caught fire. There was inflation, real estate was blooming and the land and the buildings appreciated too.

Diamond felt that increasing the rent was the only good solution. After all, there were still several apartments which were costly. Hers could be considered affordable.

When Aleck heard the price, his expression didn’t look well.

"Is there any problem?" Diamond asked after seeing him like that.

Usually, when someone was showing that kind of expression, it meant that something was bothering him. And she wanted to know what was bothering him when they were just talking about the rent.

"This .... Ms. Perry ..."

"Just speak out your mind!" Diamond urged since she didn’t want the man to be scared to voice out his opinions.

Aleck, upon hearing that, heaved a sigh of relief and began to explain himself.

"Ms. Perry, the price you have set can be considered good but I think that it is low. The next apartment block, less than a kilometer from us with the same design, is charging ..."

The more Diamond listened to Aleck, the more enlightened she became.

No wonder why people always argue to let the professionals deal with what they know. Listening to Aleck, she could tell that she had nearly offered her houses for nothing and was at the same risk of offending some property owners.

She didn’t want to make enemies at all.

In the end, after a harmonious discussion, the rent ended up being A$30,000, and she was looking forward to seeing the reactions.

After discussing that, Diamond had Nancy sign a lease for an apartment. It took a lot of convincing, and Diamond told Nancy that it was one of the employee benefits.
