Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 438

The fact that the landlord was able to collect rent here relied solely on her ancestors' legacy. Now that she could profit more, she wouldn't easily let go. If others raised the rent significantly in the future, she could always resort to underhanded tactics.

Either way, she wouldn't let go of this sweet deal before her.

Diana understood the landlord's mindset, which was why she dared to negotiate. However, Diana was careful and meticulous when she wrote out the contract, leaving no loopholes for the future.

After all, when one started a business, one had to be as frugal as possible. Moreover, the money saved here was not as simple as a few hundred thousand a year.

She dared to propose a five-year term because she wasn't afraid of the landlord eventually turning on her.

"Sign here," Diana said with a smile, pulling out a pen and contract she had prepared in advance and placing it in the landlord's hand.

The landlord looked at her smile, and faltered for a moment.

"You're so beautiful..." the landlord muttered before snapping out of her daze. "You're beautiful. Is this a trick?"

"...It's black and white on paper. If you don't agree, I'll move out right away. I don't think the next tenant will offer as high of a rent as I am."

The landlord was afraid to lose the benefits right before her, and she hurriedly waved her hand. "No! No."

She quickly read through the contract, and seeing that everything was fine, she quickly signed it.

"Done."

Diana felt relieved when she saw the landlord's name on the contract. Now, she could save a lot of money every year. For her newly established studio, this could alleviate short-term financial pressures and increase profits and cost saving in the long run.

Since Fanny had invested a lot of money in her, Diana had to do her best to protect Fanny’s interest as best as possible.

"When the next batch of rent is due, I'll pay you according to the price in the contract," Diana said. "But this quarter, we'll continue with the previous price, so please don't contact me anymore for now."

Diana still needed to look for investments, so she didn't want to waste any precious time on this landlord.
