466: Chapter 466 The outcome remains to be seen.
The moment the browser page jumped to the residential complex's homepage on the real estate agency website, an uncontrollable smile tugged at the corners of Yu Chuhui's mouth.
"78316... 78316..." Yu Chuhui muttered the average price displayed on the complex's homepage unconsciously.
She immediately used her phone's calculator to figure out the total price.
The moment the result appeared, her pupils dilated in shock, "One, two, three... eight, eight zeros, over eleven million?"
Just as Yu Chuhui was still reveling on the sofa.
Chen Cheng, having returned to 2301 and come back out again,
looked through the kitchen window of 2202 and saw Lan Qianyi cooking something inside.
His eyes darted, and instead of pressing for the elevator, he walked to the door of 2302 and noticed that its lock was also out of battery.
He returned to 2301 to get the key and batteries to replace them.
Afterward, he turned and ducked into the stairwell to head downstairs.
Arriving at the door of 2202, he rang the doorbell.
"Coming." Lan Qianyi glanced at the hallway, turned off the stove, and turned to open the door.
As she opened the door, a smile immediately bloomed on her lips, "Chairman Chen~"
Chen Cheng pointed to the hallway, "Can we talk for a moment?"
Lan Qianyi looked at Chen Cheng, a shy smile appearing on her lips, and nodded.
Chen Cheng walked to the hallway in front of Ye Zhenzhen's door and glanced at 2202.
After thinking about it, he decided to use the passcode to open the door to 2203 instead.
It was nothing new that He Minhong liked to press her ear against the door to eavesdrop.
The things he had to say to Lan Qianyi were directed at her, and Chen Cheng didn't want to cause any extra trouble, so it was better to avoid her.
Lan Qianyi was stunned for a moment watching Chen Cheng open the door.
Chen Cheng beckoned to her, and she snapped out of it and followed him inside.
Walking into the room, Lan Qianyi was still a bit confused, "Chairman Chen, is this your home?"
Chen Cheng shook his head, "I used to live upstairs in 2301. This is a friend's place, but she moved out recently."
He pointed to the sofa, "Sit down. Would you like something to drink?"
"Since she just moved out, there should still be some things in the fridge."
Chen Cheng had thought Ye Zhenzhen might have left something behind, but when he opened the fridge, he only saw soda water.
He grabbed a bottle, walked to the sofa, and handed it to Lan Qianyi.
"Drink this. This is all she has left."
"Thank you."
Chen Cheng smiled, sat on the single sofa, and placed the mechanical key for 2302 from his pocket onto the coffee table.
Getting straight to the point, he said, "This is the key to 2302 upstairs. I suspect you might need it in the future."
"Huh?" Lan Qianyi was a bit bewildered, staring blankly at Chen Cheng, waiting for him to explain.
"For the specific reason, ask Yu Chuhui."
"When you can't stand it anymore and want to move out, you can move into 2302."
"The layout is the same, pick whichever room you like. Once you move in, just transfer the rent to me monthly."
Lan Qianyi's eyes widened, and she swallowed, "Is that Sister He... really that scary?"
"Sister Chu also told me that I don't need to interact with Sister He unless necessary."
Chen Cheng chuckled. He Minhong really had it good now, with people actually calling her "Sister."
But then again, calling someone "Sister" or "Brother" was never about age, but about social standing.
Lan Qianyi had just graduated, so calling people "Sister" or "Brother" was perfectly fine.
Chen Cheng smiled without further explanation, "Let Xiao Yu tell you about it."
"I only had you come in to talk about this because I didn't want He Minhong to hear."
"Alright, now that I've said what I needed to, I'll be going."
Lan Qianyi wanted to say something but held back, nodded instead, and stood up.
The two left the room one after the other.
Lan Qianyi stood at the elevator entrance to see Chen Cheng off. Just before entering the elevator, Chen Cheng asked her out of the blue.
"Xiao Lan, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Huh?" A blush instantly crept up Lan Qianyi's fair face, and she quickly shook her head, "No."
Chen Cheng smiled, "That's good."
With that, he stepped into the elevator.
After the elevator doors closed, Lan Qianyi was still dazed, muttering to herself, "What does 'that's good' mean?"
For a moment, Lan Qianyi's heart was pounding.
...
In the employee breakroom at Misia, Wang Manni and Zoe were eating lunch while talking about her blind date yesterday.
"I think he wore all his best outfits on his body."
"He even told me he had an annual salary of two million."
Saying this, she pursed her lips, "From what I see, he's at the level of shopping at our store... maybe once or twice a year."
"People always exaggerate a bit when they talk."
Zoe frowned, "I understand what you mean."
"You mean that with his current net worth, it's not enough for you to overlook his flaws."
As she said this, she smiled, "Hey, based on your standards, you can only pick a husband from the male customers in our store now."
"Let me ask you a question."
Wang Manni nodded while eating, "Mm, go ahead."
"If there were a man who was extremely, extremely rich."
Chen Cheng's figure instantly flashed through Wang Manni's mind.
Before she could even start fantasizing, Zoe added, "But he has a wife."
After thinking about it, Wang Manni shook her head, "Absolutely not, that's my bottom line."
Zoe raised an eyebrow, "The male customers who can afford to shop at our store are either married."
"Or they are quite old."
"This... finding someone suitable in every aspect who also happens to fancy a lowly sales associate."
"This... the probability is just too small."
Wang Manni was still stubborn, "Well, I don't necessarily have to find someone from our store's customers."
"Anyway, I want to find someone who is to my liking."
"If there isn't one, I'll just wait."
"I've already waited so many years."
Zoe pursed her lips, "Fine, fine... you just wait."
"Let's see if you'll regret deleting him today when you're 30 and still can't get married."
Wang Manni huffed at her, "Don't jinx me, okay?"
Zoe also lightly huffed, "We'll see."
As she spoke, an idea flashed through Zoe's mind, and her eyes shot a sharp glint at Wang Manni, "Manni, what do you think of Mr. Chen?"
Having her little secret revealed, a blush instantly crept up Wang Manni's face, "What are you talking about?"
"Mr. Chen and Miss Jiang are a couple, okay?"
Zoe looked at the little expression on her face, and a smile immediately curled at the corners of her mouth, "They aren't married yet, the outcome is yet uncertain."
She tilted her chin towards Wang Manni, "How about it, Manni, want to give it a try?"
"Mr. Chen is a handsome guy, over 1.85 meters tall, with an inverted triangle physique and a dashing appearance."
"Not to mention his material conditions; he has a Centurion Black Card that only top billionaires have, and he can casually spend millions."
"And he lives in such a huge Old Western-style house."
As she spoke, Zoe became even more excited, "Hey, did you know? I went back the other day and talked to my boyfriend about how much an Old Western-style house costs."
"I happened to look it up. Guess how much the house Mr. Chen lives in is worth?"
Wang Manni was stunned for a moment, immediately became interested, bit her lip, and asked excitedly, "How much?"
