As they say, "invisible bragging is the deadliest," poverty limits his imagination. What kind of landlord can instantly buy an apartment to rent out, at any time and any place, just because they don't want to refund the rent and deposit?

That's right, at this moment, Su Qing didn't realize anything and just thought this was a landlord who didn't want to refund the rent.

Honestly, even though he hadn't met this landlady, he could smell a whiff of wealth through the screen, which made him shake his head and sigh softly:

"Sigh, another rich lady with loads of money. Wait, why did I say 'another'?"

Just then, his mom called from the shop: "Come here, son, let me take a couple of photos of you."

"Coming!"

Meanwhile, in a luxurious large apartment in the city center, Shen Yi and Wen Nanqing sat side by side, both looking quite nervous.

"I... I didn't say anything wrong, did I?" Wen Nanqing clutched her chest, her face flushed with tension.

There's no helping it; although she's a landlady and quite wealthy, her wealth wasn't earned in the business world. Thanks to her family's conditions and stable rental income, she leads a carefree life, so she's not very good at lying.

That's right, there was no house to sell; she was just doing it for her friend.

"Should be... not?" Shen Yi's heart was pounding too. Although she hadn't known Su Qing for long, she knew he was a young man with a strong sense of pride.

And everything she did was to get Su Qing to move to a better place, and of course, she had her own motives too.

She wanted to be close enough to recharge whenever she wanted, so she wouldn't relapse due to her sound addiction. So, she wanted them to live a bit closer.

The reason Wen Nanqing initially said she had a small villa in the suburbs was because the villa was next door to where Shen Yi lived, so it would be convenient for them to communicate, which could also help her friend's relationship.

This was why Shen Yi had Su Qing drive back there; it was indeed a bit remote, and there was no high-speed rail, with the nearest bus stop being quite far.

But surprisingly, Su Qing rejected the plan to swap an old neighborhood for a villa, which caught both women off guard.

After all, she didn't even raise the rent. Renting a villa for 2000 yuan, hardly anyone would hesitate unless they're out of their minds, and she even promised to cover the moving costs.

"Didn't you say he works from home and doesn't have any location requirements?" Wen Nanqing asked. This was the conclusion they reached, but unexpectedly, there was still a hiccup.

At that moment, Shen Yi was equally puzzled. She had almost figured out Su Qing's situation. Someone who makes short videos from home shouldn't refuse this plan, right?

"Not quite sure, maybe there's another reason?" Shen Yi shook her head and then continued, "Nanqing, do you have many properties in Jiangcheng City?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing stretched out her fair hand and counted on her fingers: "In the city center, I have three whole buildings, four floors in a commercial building, and some scattered investment properties, which is decent enough. Almost in every bustling district, there's something. Don't worry!"

"If he asks for a place I don't have, I'll just buy two units on the spot, rent one to him, and keep the one next door for you. After all, it's also an investment."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi immediately beamed, grabbed Wen Nanqing's face, and gave her a big kiss.

"Mwah, love you."

Wen Nanqing wiped her face in disdain and helplessly said, "Sigh, I'm racking my brain for your happiness. You better not let me down. If worst comes to worst, just give him a house when you break up, as a breakup fee."

Hearing this, Shen Yi rolled her eyes fiercely, making it seem as though she were a heartless woman deceiving an innocent young man and then leaving him.

She just wanted to be a little closer to Su Qing so she could experience pure and genuine sensations anytime her sound addiction flared up. Honestly, Shen Yi felt that her addiction was growing lately and continued:

"What do you plan to do with the house he's living in, rent it out?"

"If we're acting, let's do it properly. Sell it. It's an old neighborhood anyway, not worth much anymore. I have so many houses I'm about to forget them all. If I hadn't hired someone, I would've forgotten I even had a house there."

Shen Yi: ...

Listen to this, is this even humane talk?

Her own family was decent but only middle-class. When she started her own business, her family could barely provide any support. Although she's doing well in recent years, there's still a significant gap compared to someone like Wen Nanqing, who was pampered from an early age.

"By the way, how are things going at the company? Are you managing okay? Honestly, they just left you alone in Jiang City, aren't they worried you'll wear yourself out?" Wen Nanqing sighed when she saw Shen Yi staying silent.

Hearing this, Shen Yi instinctively stretched, revealing her curvaceous figure, and replied with a smile, "It's not bad. She's a public figure. Although she's been toning down her presence in recent years and focusing more behind the scenes, it takes time, right?"

"Luckily, things at the capital have stabilized over the years. As long as everything runs as usual, there won't be significant problems at the company. Even if she wanted to come here, she wouldn't have the energy for it. Don't worry, I've got it under control. Plus, aren't you here, my local snake, heh heh!"

To this, Wen Nanqing chuckled and said, "Go on, go, I'm not some local snake. Just a rent collector, lacking connections, and unable to manage a company. How could I help?"

"But recently, I've heard that a guy named Xu Feng is being very attentive to you. What's up with that? Are you two-timing now?"

Shen Yi: -_-|||

"Can't you think better of me? Am I that kind of person?"

"As for Xu Feng, ha, unsolicited kindness is either a traitor or thief. I know what he's plotting."

She was already aware of Xu Feng's intentional behavior, but she hasn't yet figured out his final motive. Plus, having just arrived in Jiang City, it was wise to maintain harmony.

"Oh, got it. But if anything happens, just let me know. In this small domain, your sister here has some influence. I won't let anyone bully you, though when it comes to business, I'm out of the loop," Wen Nanqing chuckled.

To this, Shen Yi nodded. It was precisely because there was a major shareholder like Wen Nanqing in Jiang City and the city's promising development that led her to choose to develop there.

Meanwhile, at the Experimental Middle School.

'The exam is over; students, please stop writing immediately.'

As the bell rang, students gradually exited the exam rooms, while outside a sea of parents awaited.

"Here she comes, here she comes. Sweetie, mom's here," Zhou Hui shouted from the crowd at Su He.

And, of course, Su He heard her mom's voice. But when she glanced in that direction, she suddenly didn't want to go over.

No reason except, at this moment, Su Qing and old Su stood by Zhou Hui on either side, each holding a pair of couplets.

Su Hongye: [Excel in middle school, excel in high school, excel in college, excel in every exam]

Su Qing: [Grilled pig trotters, grilled chicken wings, grilled gluten, famous with one exam]

A big yellow dog stood upright in front of everyone with a banner in its mouth, displaying four big characters:

[The whole family fights]
