Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

The next day, Lu Hao got up very early.

He stood in front of the mirror, tied a red tie, and combed his hair into an adult style.

He looked quite dashing in a suit.

After leaving the house, he didn't take a taxi, but instead scanned a shared bicycle and, dressed in a suit and tie, joined the morning rush hour traffic.

By the time he arrived at the entrance of the residential complex where he had arranged to meet the first real estate agent, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on his forehead.

The real estate agent was already waiting. When he saw Lu Hao's outfit and the shared bicycle, he was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Brother, with your style, anyone who didn't know better would think you were a fellow agent here to scout out the property."

Lu Hao wiped the sweat from his brow, looked at himself, then at the other man's equally crisp white shirt, and burst out laughing: "We're all just oxen and horses!"

With just one sentence, the sense of unfamiliarity between the two disappeared completely.

The real estate agent couldn't stop laughing and started talking non-stop.

I looked at three apartments in half an hour, all unfurnished, priced around three thousand.

The location of the community is okay; there's no subway, but the surrounding amenities are quite complete.

Lu Haoxin gave the standard response, "I'll go back and discuss it with my partner," then said goodbye to the enthusiastic real estate agent and headed to the next location.

At noon, he ate a bowl of noodles with soybean paste at a roadside stall. The noodles were warm and the sauce was salty. It wasn't authentic, but it filled his stomach.

He wasn't picky about food; as long as it filled his stomach, he was fine.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Hao followed another real estate agent into the last target community of the day.

Tomato Community.

Standing at the entrance of the residential compound, Lu Hao, drenched in sweat, paused, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

I wonder how that woman, Lin Ran, has been doing lately.

Has Yunlan Company's problem exploded yet?

Did she, as he predicted, push herself out to take the blame?

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but he forcibly suppressed them.

Lu Hao shook his head, clearing these useless thoughts from his mind, and followed the agent inside.

Walking through the central garden, I didn't see those kids playing with yo-yos together today.

Standing downstairs at Unit 1 of Building 3, Lu Hao's gaze unconsciously drifted toward the entrance of Unit 2 next to it.

A thought popped into my head: what if I could see that familiar figure?

He then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Wake up."

Lin Ran is still enjoying the air conditioning at the company at this hour.

Upon arriving on the 13th floor, the agent opened the door to room 1304.

"Mr. Lu, you see, the previous tenant of this apartment also ran a studio. These desks, chairs, and filing cabinets were left behind by them; they said they didn't want them anymore. If you think they're suitable, you can use them directly. If not, I'll contact someone to remove them for you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hao's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked inside.

His gaze quickly swept across the entire space. The living room and dining room were connected; although not large, they were sufficient.

The living room will serve as an open office area. We'll set up four tables, and Li Xu must be placed by the window so he can slack off and enjoy the view while on paid leave.

There are three rooms: one is his office, one is his finance office, and the remaining one serves as a meeting room and reception room.

Perfect!

He walked over and checked the office supplies one by one.

The table is made of particleboard, and the chairs have casters. They're not exactly high-end, but they're still pretty new, and most importantly, they work!

This will save us a lot of money!

He went to the balcony and pushed open the glass door.

A breeze blew in from above, dispelling the summer heat.

From here, you can overlook the central garden and main gate of the entire community, with a wide and unobstructed view.

It's it!

Lu Hao immediately made a decision and turned to the agent, saying, "Talk to the landlord about the price. If it's right, I'll make a decision now."

After some back and forth, we finally settled on a price of 2,500 yuan per month, with a deposit of one month's rent and three months' rent paid in advance.

The contract is scheduled to be signed next Friday.

There was nothing he could do. He wouldn't get paid until next Thursday, and Lu Hao only had a little over two thousand yuan on him. He had already paid a deposit of one thousand yuan, so he only had a little over one thousand yuan left in his pocket. He couldn't even afford three months' rent.

Fortunately, the landlord was easy to talk to. After hearing about Lu Hao's situation, he readily agreed that he could use a copy of the property ownership certificate to go through the company registration process first.

Lu Hao thought to himself, "I'm so lucky to have met such a good landlord."

This first step has gone so smoothly; it seems like a truly auspicious start. Once the company takes off, won't everything else be smooth sailing and bring in a fortune?

After leaving the residential area, Lu Hao parted ways with the real estate agent, feeling extremely happy, and strolled leisurely along the sidewalk.

It's not far from the coffee shop where I met Su Yu, only an hour's walk away, perfect for a stroll.

Watching the traffic flow on the road and feeling the pedestrians brushing past him, Lu Hao's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he had strolled so leisurely on the street during the day.

This city is bustling and noisy during the day, but at night it exudes an atmosphere of extravagance and decadence.

Not far away, the figures of a family of three caught his attention.

The man carried a little girl with pigtails on his shoulder, and held the woman beside him tightly with his other hand.

The three of them strolled lazily in the afterglow of the setting sun, the little girl's clear laughter drowning out all the noise of the city.

The setting sun cast their shadows long, until they gradually merged into one.

Lu Hao subconsciously turned his head and looked at the shadows behind him; it looked like three people...

……

Amami Cafe.

Lu Hao pushed open the door and went up to the second floor, where he immediately saw Su Yu sitting by the corner window.

She was still dressed in a smart business suit, but she had taken off her suit jacket and casually draped it over the back of the chair.

The silk ribbon blouse she wore shimmered, giving her an aura of power. She paired it with a black pencil skirt that accentuated her stunning waist and hip curves, and her long legs, encased in black stockings, were crossed, exuding both elegance and sexiness.

She was looking out the window, the glow of the setting sun casting a soft glow on half of her face, making her look almost unreal, which made Lu Hao momentarily dazed.

He composed himself, strode over, and pulled out a chair opposite her.

Hearing the noise, Su Yu turned around, her flawless face facing Lu Hao. Her lips parted slightly, her voice cold: "You resigned. Why didn't you tell me?"

"President Su, I don't think I have an obligation to report my schedule to you." Lu Hao leaned back and shrugged.

Su Yu frowned slightly, but did not dwell on the matter.

She picked up her handbag from the chair next to her, took out a document, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Lu Hao.

"At my company, the marketing team leader position offers a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, plus five social insurances and one housing fund, and weekends off." She spoke concisely, with an air of command, "With your abilities, you'll quickly achieve results, and then I'll promote you."

Lu Hao's gaze fell on the employment contract in front of him, and he chuckled softly.

He didn't look at the contract; he simply pushed it back to him.

"Su Yu, what do you mean by this?"
