Zeng Jia also let out a long sigh of relief!

Chen Lei returned the phone to her and said, "Your friend borrowed eight thousand yuan to pay the rent, I transferred it to him."

"I saw it all." Zeng Jia replied.

"Seems like your relationship is not ordinary, for him to borrow money from you?" Chen Lei asked with a half-smile.

"Of course I'm close with him, he's my little boy toy!" Zeng Jia said directly.

Because Chen Lei always doubted her and kept questioning her, Zeng Jia had long learned to retreat in order to advance.

Chen Lei laughed and said, "Since he's such a good friend of yours, why not let him come to Fucheng City and follow me? If he performs well, I could even give him a house, no need to rent one!"

"No." Zeng Jia refused directly, "Why would the man I'm keeping follow you? If he's going to follow anyone, it should be me."

"Makes sense too, I need to head to the company." After saying this, Chen Lei left the villa!

After watching Chen Lei get in the car and drive away into the distance, Zeng Jia angrily sent a message to Su Ming: "Are you trying to get me killed? Just now, it was Chen Lei who grabbed my phone and chatted with you!"

"Sis, why would I want to get you killed?" Su Ming pretended not to understand.

"You just sent a message saying you missed me, do you know such words could kill me?" Zeng Jia replied angrily.

"You're overthinking it, we're just regular friends, you know I have a girlfriend, don't have designs on me!" Su Ming replied directly.

The other party didn't text back but directly initiated a video call.

Su Ming answered immediately and saw Zeng Jia's slightly angry face.

"Sis, I've decided, I'll only say mushy things to you over video calls, because I don't want to cause you trouble!" Su Ming said aggressively.

Hearing this, Zeng Jia couldn't help but think more highly of Su Ming.

She originally thought he was just handsome, strong, and well-endowed, but he turned out to be pretty smart too.

"Smart." Zeng Jia couldn't help but praise him before asking, "Why are you so short on money, needing to borrow just eight thousand?"

Su Ming responded a bit embarrassedly, "Most of my salary goes to my mom."

"I didn't know you were so filial, children should indeed be dutiful to their parents!" Zeng Jia exclaimed.

"Of course." Su Ming agreed wholeheartedly.

"I'll transfer another one hundred thousand to you later. Money is a man's confidence, a man can't walk around without money." Zeng Jia said with a laugh.

"Thanks, sis, next time we meet, I'll have to reward you properly." Su Ming also laughed.

"How do you plan to reward me?" Zeng Jia asked.

"I heard that when a man goes down on a woman, it's the most satisfying for her, so next time I'll do that for you." Su Ming said bluntly.

"Ah, you're so bad, I'm hanging up!" Zeng Jia didn't expect him to say that, and quickly ended the video call out of surprise.

Shortly after, Su Ming received the one hundred thousand transfer.

He shook his head and murmured, "Does this mean I'm living off a woman? Have I hitched myself to a rich woman?"

After saying this, he went to the landlord, signed a six-month contract, and paid, thus securing a new place to live.

Su Ming had no idea that an unexpected crisis was approaching him.

On the first ring of Fucheng City, there was a Rolls-Royce Phantom racing along. Driving was a burly man with very steady hands and bulging temples, clearly well-trained.

Chen Lei sat in the backseat, his face stern as he took out his phone to make a call: "Ruixi, go to Longcheng this time..."

Su Ming was unaware of the impending danger and moved with Wu Guizhen to the newly rented Happy Home community.

Upon entering the community, Wu Guizhen exclaimed loudly.

"Oh my, this community is so clean, the landscaping is done so well, living here will definitely add a few years to your life, right?"

"Of course." Su Ming nodded with a smile.

After entering the apartment, Wu Guizhen was again shocked by the luxury of the room.

This kind of apartment decorated by a second landlord was done with low-quality materials, giving the room an influencer-style visual appeal, luxurious yet comfortable, but formaldehyde could be life-threatening!

However, the one Su Ming rented had already been detoxed by previous tenants, so it was quite safe.

"I've never lived in such a nice place, the air conditioning, this leather sofa, this big bed, this large kitchen, this refrigerator, this washing machine, this range hood all look so new." Wu Guizhen exclaimed again.

Su Ming laughed and said, "Don't be too happy too soon, I've checked, most of the appliances here are of third-level energy efficiency, very power-hungry, and the landlord has already sped up the electricity meter, charging an extra one or two hundred each month is considered kind!"

"Ah, charging extra and still kind? Are you kidding me?" Wu Guizhen exclaimed.

"Crows are black everywhere, all second landlords in the country are like this, if you want to rent a nicer place, you have to pay some extra to the second landlord each month, it's unavoidable. Most first landlords will also speed up the meter, it's an open secret in the rental world!" Su Ming said seriously.

"Sigh, indeed there are too many chaotic issues domestically." Wu Guizhen couldn't help but sigh, then added with some concern, "Su Ming, the rent here must be expensive, right?"

"It's not that expensive, it's two thousand a month." Su Ming said with a smile.

"Ah, I can't afford to live here, that's too much." Wu Guizhen was startled.

"I'm not forcing you to pay, what's there to be afraid of?" Su Ming laughed in response.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to pay you back in the future!" Wu Guizhen said with a low mood.

"Now's not the time to worry about that, maybe in the future, you'll have a stable job, earning seven or eight thousand a month, then this rent will be nothing." Su Ming comforted her.

"You don't know how hard it is to secure a position now, it's like a thousand troops crossing a single log bridge!" Wu Guizhen said with deep feeling.

Su Ming could relate, having found a decent-paying job as a chauffeur after being discharged from the military, otherwise his situation might not be much better than Wu Guizhen's.

In this era, even ten million college graduates can't find jobs, the middle class is all falling back into poverty, even taking on debt, and the lower classes are struggling to live.

In this context, making money is extremely difficult, and securing various positions has become a hundred or thousand times more competitive than before!

"It's tough, but I believe good people get good fortune, you'll surely have a bright future." Su Ming said to encourage her.

"Yeah, I hope so." Wu Guizhen nodded, feeling better, and said, "I'll go clean up now."

With that, she started getting busy.

After wiping all the furniture clean, Wu Guizhen began mopping the floor.

She was wearing a silk long dress today, the material hugged her body, fully highlighting her voluptuous figure, making her chest look bigger and her butt look perkier!
