"Rent it to me? Would that be inconvenient?"
Yan Shenyu was stunned.
Are you buying this as your wedding home?
No, I'm still single and live alone.
So you have someone you like? Are you planning to move in with them?
No, I live alone; I moved out of my family home.
S: "Then I won't find it inconvenient."
Yan Shenyu: "..."
Is it inconvenient for him?
Since moving out means living with a stranger, it's better to stay at home by himself. At least now Yan Zhengang won't keep bothering him.
After hesitating for a moment, Yan Shenyu replied to the other party: "Sorry, I think it's better to forget it. I'm not used to living with other people."
After the message was sent, the other party kept typing "typing" for a full two minutes.
What is it that you've been agonizing over for so long?
Yan Shenyu didn't want to talk anymore; he disliked this inefficient communication.
He sent a message: "That's all for now, I'm logging off."
Almost at the same time he sent the message, the other party sent a message: "Don't leave, I can move out."
Yan Shenyu: "..."
Something seems off about this conversation.
Yan Shenyu stopped replying for the time being and contacted the designer again to verify the authenticity.
Hello, could you please check if this person is the homeowner's WeChat account? They just added me.
The previous exchanges had been quite pleasant. Yan Shenyu is practically a public figure, so the designer wouldn't refuse to help with such a small matter.
【no.】
Later, the designer posted a screenshot, erasing the WeChat ID and leaving only the profile picture and WeChat name.
He's the one I'm working with.
Okay, thank you, I understand.
Yan Shenyu looked at the profile picture and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before. He scrolled through his friend list uncertainly and found an account with the exact same profile picture and WeChat name.
Secretary Lin? Yan Shenyu raised her eyebrows in surprise. So the owner of that apartment is Secretary Lin?
Secretary Lin's annual salary as chief secretary must be quite high, but it's unlikely he could afford such a large mansion at such a young age, unless he's a second-generation rich kid. However, Secretary Lin comes from an ordinary working-class family, and his position as chief secretary is due to his high level of education and outstanding abilities.
So he's managing someone else's house on their behalf? Helping with things like renovations.
Yan Shenyu recalled S's profile picture of the ocean and a sailboat. When he mentioned that a friend of his also sailed, instead of taking the opportunity to talk about sailing, the other person asked him, "What do you think of your friend who sails?"
Would a normal person chat like this? Would they care about the character of a stranger?
No way, unless he was originally his friend who went sailing, and he was using this opportunity to find out what he thought of him...
So the person he was chatting with was Xie Siyan?
A note from the author:
Mr. Xie: I just wanted to be close to my wife.
Chapter 46 Don't be angry with me, okay?
Yan Shenyu really couldn't understand this move. He knew that the person who bought the house was not him, so why did he create a fake account to mess with him?
Yan Shenyu reopened S's chat window and typed: "I've thought about it, and I've decided not to rent it. Sorry to bother you."
Almost ten minutes had passed since the last message. As soon as Yan Shenyu sent the reply, the other end showed "typing..." again.
This time, the other party didn't hesitate for long and asked, "You're not renting it anymore? I'll leave the whole house to you."
Yan Shenyu: "I don't like renting."
He thought the other person would delete him after that, but to his surprise, S sent him a message the next moment.
I can sell it to you.
Yan Shenyu: ?
Didn't you say you weren't selling? Why are you selling now?
Yan Shenyu thought for a while and decided to start fishing in the opposite direction.
Okay, then please give me a price.
[10 million.]
Only 10 million? That's such a low price!
The apartment's location and neighborhood are superb, especially with its luxurious downtown night view, not to mention the high-end furniture and collectibles inside. Its market value is at least a hundred million. Xie Siyan actually omitted more than half of it for him?
Is 10 million too high?
Xie Siyan paused, then re-entered a number: "That 1 million, it can't be any lower."
If you look even closer, it's obviously fake.
Yan Shenyu: "..."
This is so fake, isn't it?
“1 million is too cheap, isn’t it?” he replied.
[It's alright, we get along well, friend's price.]
You're going to get scammed online if you do this...
[...]
After a pause, the other end cautiously sent another number: "Then 2 million?"
This time, Yan Shenyu did not refuse, but nodded and said, "Okay, but I need to go see the house first."
The other party agreed, but on the day of the scheduled viewing, the person who showed up was not Xie Siyan, but a strange man in a suit.
The man claimed to be a relative of the homeowner, who said the homeowner was too busy with work and had asked him to come and take a look.
Yan Shenyu raised an eyebrow at him, and under the other's tense gaze, she smiled again and said kindly, "Okay, thank you for your help."
The person opposite him breathed a sigh of relief and began to show him the house inside.
Yan Shenyu followed beside him, spending half the time looking at the house and the other half sizing up the person in front of him.
The young man looked unfamiliar and wasn't very old; he was probably one of Xie Siyan's secretaries, forced into this job. His reaction to looking at the house was even more exaggerated than Xie Siyan's, so he didn't seem to be used to such strange things.
The house was more beautiful than he had imagined, and the immersive experience was even better; every corner was as perfect as a work of art.
After viewing the apartment, Yan Shenyu and the young man went downstairs together.
Early August is the hottest time of the year. Around noon, the sun is blazing down, and you can feel the heat even through the glass.
Yan Shenyu said he had something to discuss with the apartment manager and asked him to wait in the rest area.
The secretary nodded, took out her phone, and began reporting her work to Secretary Lin.
[Secretary Lin, I've shown Mr. Yan the apartment. There was nothing unusual; he didn't suspect anything the whole time.]
Right after he sent the message, someone sat down next to him and asked casually, "This is the first time I've seen this. You secretaries are helping the CEO show people around houses?"
“Yes, this is the first time I’ve encountered something like this either…” The young man looked up with deep sympathy.
Then he saw the long-haired young man's smile. The secretary opened his mouth, then froze.
"You...you..."
Yan Shenyu glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and said indifferently, "Did Secretary Lin send you?"
The other person nodded subconsciously, then shook their head frantically.
"Did Xie Siyan send you?"
The secretary covered her mouth, not daring to say a word.
"Never mind," Yan Shenyu said, not wanting to make things difficult for him. "I'll go find Xie Siyan directly."
After saying that, he went directly to the underground parking garage and drove his sports car to Wildfire Technology.
The remaining secretary, on the verge of tears, reported to her superior: "Secretary Lin, Mr. Yan recognized me and said he wants me to take him back to see the president."
Secretary Lin: "..."
"Never mind that, just come back first."
"Waaaah, Secretary Lin, you're so kind!"
As for Secretary Lin, he didn't want to get involved anymore. Anyway, the president had said that he would handle the whole matter, and whatever happened afterward was none of his business.
Xie Siyan was completely unaware of what was about to happen and was still chatting with Yan Shenyu on WeChat under the name of S.
S: "Have you viewed the house? What did you think?"
Yan Shenyu: "It's really good, I really like it."
Yan Shenyu typed this sentence in the Wildfire Technology elevator and sneered: "That's why I decided to come and talk to you in person."
The elevator doors opened the next moment, and Yan Shenyu arrived at Xie Siyan's office.
The two secretaries at the front desk glanced at him, and when they saw it was Yan Shenyu, they breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him with smiles: "Hello, Mr. Yan!"
Long ago, the president personally instructed that Mr. Yan did not need to make an appointment or be notified beforehand; he could simply be allowed to come in.
As Yan Shenyu passed by the secretary's work area outside the president's office, Secretary Lin silently lowered her head, pretending not to see anything.
"Secretary Lin, aren't we going to stop them?" The new employee, unaware of the situation, couldn't help but ask.
The last person who dared to storm into the CEO's office was thrown out of the tech park by security guards.
