Yan Shuyu did not expect such a twist in the plot. He's the one who's gonna move into a fancy apartment?
He had to say, the boss' advice was very tempting. This time, poverty did not limit Yan Shuyu's imagination as she had just toured Manager Yang's place and knew how classy and quiet the layout was. Very crowded Manager Place. He lives with his parents, his sister, and other parents. He heard that there were also nannies and servants, numbering over 10 people. But when they visit his place, Manager Yang even shows him his game room and his home theater room. His nephew, Tongtong, also has his own daughter's room and piano room. That should have told him how big the place was.
No matter that Yan Shuyu had never seen such a luxurious mansion in her two lives, no one had three generations on it. Inevitably he imagined how wonderful it would be to wake up in a 660 square meter bed every day. He thought he would laugh in his dreams.
After his fantasies, he finally rejected the boss's offer. The point is clear and never changed – she will do anything other than being the stepmother of the male lead.
Nevertheless, the boss' intentions were very suspicious. It made him wonder if he wanted her and his instant son to move into his house first. Based on the theory that it is easier to go from poor to rich than vice versa, once they both get used to the corrupt lifestyle of rich people, he will discuss marriage. At that time she had no choice but to accept her fate of becoming her son's stepmother.
That's a scary thought. In order to maintain his advantage and not fall into the boss' trap, he had no choice but to destroy his dream of living in such a luxurious place.
Therefore, Yan Shuyu thought about it again and the boss's reason that she had prepared a surprise for him was very loving. On the surface, it seemed like he was just setting it behind his back to save her from the hassle. He had no proof of what he speculated, so he didn't want to sound too ungrateful.
Based on another possibility, Yan Shuyu tried to choose her words carefully when she kindly rejected her offer. “Em, I've visited Manager Yang's place. The place is very large and has many rooms. It would be a waste for Yuanbao and me to stay in such a big place. In addition, I also can not afford to pay rent here .. ”
Perhaps his last sentence sounded too dissatisfied, Boss Zhou glanced at him and smiled at him. "You know the rent here?"
"I've checked it out this afternoon," Yan Shuyu replied honestly. “In the same district, a place of 200 square meters, two bedrooms cost 9,000 yuan. So a multi-level single family place will operate around 30,000 – 50,000 per month?”
"A little on the low side, 80,000 yuan," Zhou Qinhe said indifferently.
“80,000 yuan a month ?!” Yan Shuyu struggled to sit down. He knew that a house like this could cost up to tens of millions, but he did not expect the rent would be so ridiculous. After all, poverty had limited his imagination.
Even so, while he was surprised by the price, he noticed something other than the boss' words and asked, "Are you renting this place?"
He assumed that when the boss said "Secretary Lu helped me find this place" meant he helped her find the best of her property list. After all, his boss was so busy the entire time that he couldn't possibly keep track of all his assets. But if that was the case, how would he know the rent of this place from the top of his head?
Sure enough, his speculation was correct and Zhou Qinhe confirmed his thoughts.
As much as he had expected, now he felt more complicated. How does a domineering CEO get to the level of renting out a place to his girlfriend?
“Why did you rent that place?” yan Shuyu asked reflexively.
"You're hoping I'll buy it straight away?" His reaction did not seem to bother the boss. In fact, it pushes him with new ideas. “I didn't do that before because I was worried it would take longer. Buying a home, however, requires more than just renting. But it's fine. I believe that the owner does not mind growing his business.”
He still looked very relaxed, as if all he needed to do was say words to buy a place like this.
Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, was shocked. Shaking his hand in a panic, he said, "No, that's not what I said at all!"
After a short, awkward silence, he finally asked another key question, "How much rent have you paid?"
The boss had mentioned about renovations and furniture selection, so he missed the stupid question of whether the rent had been paid.
Zhou Qinhe, his hands still resting on the steering wheel, replied nonchalantly. "I think a year before."
“A full year?” Yan Shuyu was stunned again. He felt very sad about the boss's waste. A full year's rent turned out to be close to a million yuan. And he just spent it as quietly as he did. Does money grow on trees for her?
Indeed, with the boss' assets, a million yuan might not be a lot of money for him. But it still bothers him. He can't just sit around and see his girlfriend is considered an idiot and let her owner make money. He asked quickly, "Are you still able to get a refund from the owner."
The boss replied nonchalantly, “Contract has been signed. That would be considered a breach of contract.”
“If we don't live there, the owner could just find another tenant. The push comes to shove, we can always pay the rent a month or two. Why did he refuse to return the remaining amount to us? ” Yan Shuyu felt it was unfair and suggested, "If the owner is so unreasonable, we can always sue."
The way he sees it, all CEOs have a team of lawyers following them around the clock. Naturally, this boss would have one of his as well. Any lawyer on this team will be able to complete this task. All the boss had to do was say a word.
The idea may make sense but the boss remains silent except to stare at him with a smile that is not a smile. Seen like that, Yan Shuyu slowly gave up on his thoughts. He got it now. This might be an easy task as far as bosses are concerned, but it's not his style to bring someone to court for just a million yuan. It would only have a bad impact on his reputation.
Now Yan Shuyu felt helpless. “Then what should we do?”
"Are you sure you don't want to live there?" Zhou Qinhe is very pleasant today. It seemed like he would go with whatever he wanted to do. He even comforted her gently. “It's okay if you don't want to stay here. That's absolutely no problem.”
At other times, Yan Shuyu would find his behavior extremely suspicious. But he was now blinded by 1 million yuan. He thought to himself painfully; the rent was already paid. If he refuses to stay there and his boss refuses to ask for a refund, it's just money under the bridge. How could?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt unfair. Finally, he said, “No way! If the rent is already paid, at least we should stay there for a year.”
Only he can use the boss. He couldn't possibly let others take advantage of him. As soon as Yan Shuyu knew everything, her confidence had returned.
Boss Zhou also gave him an agreeable look and smiled convincingly. "All right."
Yan Shuyu felt better with her approval. He even added, “You've already paid the rent. Surely I won't be able to repay your bud.”
80,000 yuan a month. There was no way he could think of that. He might as well be straight ahead in front.
Boss Zhou's reaction was to pat his head helplessly and chuckle. “I've arranged this. All you have to worry about is moving and nothing else. ”
With that, Yan Shuyu felt very confident. She propped up her legs and began daydreaming about life inside the luxury apartment. Even just for a year was a good deal for him!
Before he could finish his daydream, he was hit not too hard on his knee. The boss should pay attention to his behavior even while he is driving. "Let your feet down."
"Oh." Yan Shuyu, lectured, quickly put her feet down and sat down properly.
He could hear Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi giggling from behind him, but that did not bother him. So what if the boss had lectured him now that he was about to move to a luxurious place.
Yan Shuyu, who was already completely distracted by that luxurious place, suddenly suggested, “Can we go see that place after dinner? I'd really like to see how you remodel it. ”
Although the layout would be very similar to that of his little friend, each place had its own style. Yan Shuyu could not wait to check out where she would be staying in the coming year. He would love to move there tomorrow if only he could~
"Today?" The boss was thrown off by his sudden change in attitude. Resigning, he said, "Secretary Lu has the key."
"I probably won't have time tomorrow."
Yan Shuyu was not depressed but still very excited. "Can I get the key from Secretary Lu tomorrow so I can see it for myself?"
The boss looked at him gently and said, “I've done a lot of work to prepare this gift for you. I want to go see it with you.”
Yan Shuyu pursed her lips silently. He thought Secretary Lu was the one doing all that heavy work. How much work is on his side now? Even so, he greatly appreciated the boss' attitude and he had no resistance to that loving gaze. Finally Yan Shuyu nodded happily, though slightly disappointed, and said, "Alright."
In the next few days, Yan Shuyu did not go looking around the place anymore. He believed in his boss. Although he had not moved and had not even seen the place, the boss had already assured him that the rent had already been paid. All he had to do was wait to move.
Therefore, when his little friend expressed his concern, Yan Shuyu told the truth.
Yan Shuyu covered the details but only told her little friend that the boss had rented a place for her and paid the rent a year in advance.
He felt that the reason was very convincing, but Manager Yang, after hearing what he said to him, had a strange look at him. “Hiring…. For a year?"
"Yes" said Yan Shuyu. "What's wrong with that?"
"Do you see the lease?"
“Oh, Secretary Lu took care of her so she has a rental agreement. I can't possibly ask her for it, ” Yan Shuyu said. Then, after thinking for a bit longer, he said, "After all, he has no reason to lie to me."
Manager Yang thought that as much as he said he didn't want a long-term relationship with Boss Zhou, his trust in him grew stronger every day. Womens. Heh.
As much as he thought, he still agreed with her superficially. “That's what I think too. I was just a little surprised that someone as rich as Boss Zhou would rent a place.”
Yan Shuyu did not know what his little friend had in mind and agreed with him wholeheartedly. “I also thought so at first. But he told me that buying a place requires a lot of steps and with a limited time, it is easier to rent the place first.”
Yang Zifeng, "......"
Only his little friend would believe in such a reason. If Boss Zhou could have his secretary rent out a place for him, of course, he would also not have to lift a finger to buy a place.
He felt that the boss was planning something big. Therefore, as much as he suspected, he did not dare to show it. Especially she knew that her little friend was so happy that she changed the subject without worrying too much. "remarkable. You'll stay upstairs from now on. We can hang out all the time and will never get bored.”
Now Yan Shuyu can fantasize about her fancy new place with her little friend as she waits for the boss to take her to check out the place.
The wait lasts until the end of the month. The boss finally frees and gets the key from Secretary Lu. Therefore, the four of them headed straight for the high-class mansion district at 4pm that day. Influenced by Yan Shuyu's emotions, both Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi had been looking forward to this event.
In Yan Shuyu's mind, since the place the boss hired for him was similar to Manager Yang's place, naturally their renovation would be similar except that the boss's taste might be more refined and the furniture and decorations were more luxurious?
He did not expect that their "home" would be so unique.
They arrived at a new place around 16:30, and it was getting dark outside. Even though the place was naturally bright, the boss kept the lights on immediately. The moment Yan Shuyu stepped in, she immediately felt that the decoration of the place was very delicate and warm. Under the light of the luxurious chandelier, blingbling made his eyes instantly sparkle.
He had no idea how such a luxurious house could emit such a feminine feeling. Yan Shuyu was not at all disappointed as the mansion in his mind was nowhere to be seen. She had never lived in a luxurious mansion before, but she had also never lived in the glittering princess palace. And the latter is what every girl finds irresistible.
Yan Shuyu, looking up with her feminine heart, stared at the crystal lamp for a while before she wailed from the bottom of her heart, “This is so beautiful. Secretary Lu's taste is perfect.”
As the boss told him that this place was prepared by Secretary Lu, Yan Shuyu naturally gave Secretary Lu all praise. He even thought that only a girl could understand another girl.
Boss Zhou, who was standing behind Yan Shuyu and watching her reaction calmly, looked at her and asked gently, "Do you like this place?"
Yan Shuyu nodded without hesitation, and Zhou Qinhe laughed in satisfaction. "good. If you like this place, then all the work is not in vain.”
His boss sounded very indifferent as well as showing no particular emotions, but Yan Shuyu strangely felt that the boss was provoking praise. He doesn't have to compete with his secretary, does he? Suppressing that illogical thought, Yan Shuyu looked at the boss hesitantly. "Em .. didn't you say this is all that Secretary Lu did?"
"Yes, he is the one who handles the nitty-gritty and everyday details," Boss Zhou explained casually. “But I was the one communicating with the design team.”
Yan Shuyu was now enlightened. So it was the boss's idea to decorate this place as he wished! Surprised, she hugged her boss and asked, “So that was your idea? What prompted you to use this design?”
Looking at the blingbling style, Yan Shuyu could not help but wonder if there was also a little princess who lived inside the boss.
As if he could read his thoughts, Zhou Qinhe glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "I think this is what you want after I see your place."
Yan Shuyu blinked in surprise. “You have someone who designed this place based on my old place?”
He still can't understand it. Nothing is the same between his last place and this place.
But the boss had already confirmed it so Yan Shuyu bought it. He even appreciated it more. Swinging the boss's arms forward and backward, his voice was sweet like coated in honey. “I have read online that it is very boring and painful to communicate with designers. Thank you very much."
Now he understood how much work the boss had done in this regard.
He could have completely hands off, but he insisted on being an active participant. Knowing that he had put so much thought into it made Yan Shuyu happier.
Boss Zhou, although he looked indifferent, was secretly enjoying his admiration for him. He smiled and said, "Oh yeah, how are you going to thank me?"
"I can give you an award," Yan Shuyu replied without giving it much thought. “Friends Girl.”
He felt confident that the boss would understand what he meant by that. Nevertheless, Boss Zhou, who had always been indifferent, changed his life. He gave her a shy look. "Who is this girl?"
Yan Shuyu stuck out her chest proudly. She is very young and beautiful. Not only was she a girl, she was a pretty girl at the time.
Boss Zhou, "......"
Even his eyelids twitched this time, and he quietly shifted the subject. “No problem with that award. Your award must be done. ”
“Ah, don't worry about that.” Yan Shuyu was still urging him. “I can order it from Taobao. These can be badges, trophies, or flags and delivered to your doorstep. It's very convenient.”
