Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

"A friend is coming... Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had, Teacher Tao and I would have bought a little extra..."

Feng Shayan was genuinely taken aback by the natural and easygoing conversation between Fu Rong and Zhou Fengliu.

Obviously.

She never expected that other women lived in this villa, not just one... but two.

While she was still in a daze, it was her younger brother who stepped up to help.

Feng Xingtong spoke first, asking Zhou Fengliu, "Brother, is this... perhaps sister-in-law?"

"???"

Sister-in-law?

Upon hearing this address, Fu Rong was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Feng Xingtong.

She never expected Feng Xingtong to utter such outrageous words...

How did she become the eldest sister-in-law?

Is she that old?

...

Zhou Fengliu was also taken aback by Feng Xingtong's outrageous words, and then spoke:

"Feng Xingtong, if you can't speak properly, then speak less. This is Fu Rong, our Chef Rong from South China."

"That's Tao Tao, Teacher Tao, formerly a teacher at the Tang Clan, now working in HR at the South China branch... They both live here now, sharing some of the rent..."

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's introduction, Feng Xingtong slapped his forehead, then, looking as if reflecting on his own actions, said:

"Oh, is that so? It's my fault... I just said whatever came to mind. I hadn't seen Sister Rong or Sister Tao before, so I mistook them for each other."

"I'm so sorry, Sister Rong..."

Faced with Feng Xingtong's apology, Fu Rong shook her head:

"It's alright, it's our first time meeting, it's normal to apologize. I'll go cook, you guys chat..."

Fu Rong, carrying the groceries, walked somewhat shyly toward the Chinese kitchen in the villa.

Tao Tao glanced at Feng Shayan, then at Zhou Fengliu sitting on the sofa. She sensed the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and then she saw her put her car keys on the coffee table.

"I'll go help her..."

Teacher Tao said something, and followed in Fu Rong's footsteps, leaving the place.

"Sis, I left something in the car, can you come with me to get it?"

Seeing that Fu Rong and Tao Tao had gone to the kitchen, Feng Xingtong quickly called out to Feng Shayan.

Did you leave something behind?

Feng Shayan was somewhat puzzled as Feng Xingtong pulled her away from the villa temporarily.

...

"Sis, the situation is very serious now."

Beside the car, Feng Xingtong, who had been sent by Feng Zhenghao to supervise her older sister, spoke very seriously.

"What do you want to say again?"

"Didn't you see that just now? The way those two women came in, especially Fu Rong... it was like they were the mistress of the house."

Feng Xingtong, the cunning strategist, emphasized this to his older sister.

"Don't believe your brother-in-law's explanation just now, about an employee sharing the rent... With your brother-in-law's salary as the regional manager, and our rent being so low, he has absolutely no problem paying the rent..."

"What ordinary employee can live directly in their boss's house?"

"Sis, I urged you and your husband to unleash your ultimate move last time, and now look... it hasn't been long, and you already have two more formidable competitors."

"How are we competitors? Zhou Fengliu and I are just friends, not competitors. Besides, Chen Duo and Lingyu Zhenren live here too, so it's normal."

Feng Shayan still felt that, judging from Zhou Fengliu's reaction just now...

Neither Fu Rong nor Tao Tao ever truly entered Zhou Fengliu's heart.

They're not even competitors...

"Okay, sis, you'd better think that way... Don't come crying to me when someone actually takes over the enemy camp..."

Feng Xingtong looked at her older sister, then continued to recount her earlier discovery:

Even if my brother-in-law might not have any feelings for Fu Rong right now, Fu Rong might actually have feelings for him...

"I deliberately called Fu Rong 'sister-in-law' just now..."

"Hey, you're talking nonsense too. You called her 'sister-in-law' the first time you met her? I was worried you'd get slapped and forced into a fight by Zhou Fengliu..."

Feng Shayan preached.

"That's not the point... What is the point?"

"The key point is that Fu Rong didn't explain immediately, sis!"

Feng Xingtong said that this was the key point; his mispronunciation just now had directly revealed crucial information.

The fact that they didn't explain immediately implies there's something going on...

Some people might be stunned at first and not say anything to explain, but Fu Rong didn't explain either!

This is terrible.

...

Ps:

Xia He: Okay, okay, you're not including me in this chaotic scene, huh?

Goodnight, godfathers, sweet dreams. May you have everything you need every day.

Chapter 346 Feng Xingtong: I have a plan! (First update)

Hearing her younger brother's words, Feng Shayan was slightly taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Fu Rong had indeed not refuted her earlier.

but...

What does this prove?

Many people admire Zhou Fengliu, but very few can truly enter his heart.

Feng Shayan believed she had a certain understanding of Zhou Fengliu. If Zhou Fengliu really liked Fu Rong, his reaction just now would definitely not have been like that.

As for Fu Rong and Tao Tao staying here, it was not Fu Rong and Tao Tao's ill-intentioned suggestion.

She was more convinced that Zhou Fengliu had deliberately found a few suckers to share the rent burden, or even to make a small profit.

Despite his current wealth, Zhou Fengliu still maintains an extremely tight rein on money.

No skimping on necessary expenses...

He can definitely reduce unnecessary expenses...

You might say this is the mentality of a petty, bourgeois... but it doesn't seem like it.

It's simply a matter of the lay Buddhist's extreme control over money...

Think about it this way.

Feng Shayan suddenly realized that a "person" had indeed entered Zhou Fengliu's heart.

That's just a small amount of money.

The lay Buddhist who acts solely for money has no room in his heart for another "her" besides money.

With this thought in mind, Feng Shayan felt even less need to panic.

She truly couldn't enter Zhou Fengliu's heart, but neither could anyone else... Her main principle was fairness...

Coming to his senses, and seeing his younger brother's serious expression, Feng Shayan replied:

"So you understand now, huh?"

Feng Xingtong: "..."

Faced with Feng Shayan's indifferent attitude, Feng Xingtong felt like he was talking to a brick wall.

Okay, okay... Dad's hope of having two kids in three years is completely dashed...

"Hurry up and grab your things, then head back. Eat less and talk less during dinner..."

Feng Shayan warned her younger brother, that treacherous strategist.

"Otherwise, if you get slapped by Zhou Fengliu for saying the wrong thing later, I won't stand up for you..."

"Sis... I'll just say one last thing," Feng Xingtong, acting as the strategist, said.

"how?"

"Don't you really want to know... whether Fu Rong and Tao Tao have feelings for your brother-in-law?"

Hearing Feng Xingtong's words, Feng Shayan was silent for a moment, then asked in return:
