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

Zhou Fengliu took the keys and then looked at the villa with Feng Shayan.

This villa is quite large, with three floors including the basement. The interior is already renovated, and some of the furniture looks brand new, as if it had just been unpacked.

Not only that, there is also a large courtyard with a pavilion, which is perfect for barbecues and tea.

For a detached villa to command this rental price in this area, it's like a fish out of water.

"Yanzi, I really didn't expect that your Tianxia Society's properties are all over the country, right? You have houses everywhere?"

After looking at the house, Zhou Fengliu sighed silently.

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Feng Shayan crossed her arms and did not respond directly.

Their Tianxiahui (a secret society) does own quite a few properties, but not that many. These houses in Guangzhou were all purchased temporarily using her slush fund...

There aren't that many suitable houses anywhere in the world; it's just that some people are deliberately trying to create them.

P.S.: Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers. This newbie author is online, sobbing. I'm begging for everything as usual o＞_＜o.

Chapter 254 Feng Shayan: He only used one basic attack, and I panicked! (First Update)

“I happen to have some here... and you happen to be looking to rent it.” After a moment of silence, Feng Shayan spoke up.

This situation is exactly like that time and place. Thinking back to when Feng Shayan rented a house to Zhou Fengliu in Tianjin, she said the same thing.

Hearing Feng Shayan's reply, Zhou Fengliu understood Feng Shayan's intentions.

"Such a cheap house, below market price..."

...

This rich woman isn't someone you can just dabble in... she's really going all in when it comes to something.

how to say?

He had just said it casually, but he didn't expect Feng Shayan to take it seriously.

To this, Zhou Fengliu could only say that rich women are great, and he was determined to make Feng Shayan his good friend.

"Don't overthink it, I just want to be your landlord."

Perhaps she was afraid Zhou Fengliu would refuse, or perhaps she was afraid Zhou Fengliu would expose her deliberate act, which would make the situation awkward.

Feng Shayan emphasized that she did this to make money off Zhou Fengliu.

"Swallow, I haven't said anything yet..."

Hearing Feng Shayan's emphasis, Zhou Fengliu replied in a serious tone.

Feng Shayan: "..."

There was a two-second silence, and a hint of embarrassment seemed to flash across Feng Shayan's face.

"Why are you talking so much? You've seen the house, are you going to rent it or not?"

She quickly changed the subject.

Faced with Feng Shayan's explanation, Zhou Fengliu touched his nose and then replied:

"Um... I didn't say much at all."

Zhou Fengliu said that he had spoken no more than five sentences from the moment he entered the house until just now.

Feng Shayan: "..."

At that moment, it was as if an awkward crow had flown past her head, leaving an ellipsis.

Feng Shayan, with one hand in her pocket, glanced deliberately at the distant courtyard, coughed awkwardly, and then began to speak:

"Give me a straight answer, whether you're going to rent it or not."

Faced with Feng Shayan's repeated urging, Zhou Fengliu silently stroked his chin, glanced at Feng Shayan, and then said:

"Look...you're in such a hurry again."

"What I was trying to say was that such a cheap house, below market price, is really appreciated, Yanzi. I truly appreciate your kindness."

"How about this, are you free tonight? How about I treat you to dinner?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Feng Shayan was first taken aback, and then felt like a clown.

The other person just used a basic attack, and I started to panic.

...

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's reply, it was clear that her worries were completely unnecessary.

Will Zhou Fengliu expose it?

It's important to know that Zhou Fengliu has an extremely strong sense of propriety; he'll take whatever resources come his way, as long as they're within reasonable limits...

Since Zhou Fengliu had already accepted Feng Shayan's low-priced house rental once before, he would definitely want it this time as well.

...

Why am I being so reserved this time?

After a moment's thought, Feng Shayan quickly identified the key figure behind her problem.

Feng Xingtong.

Yes.

it's him.

If it weren't for Feng Xingtong constantly whispering in her ear lately, saying things like her home was robbed, her bond was broken... and that she was being given a chance and should make the most of it.

She wouldn't need to transform into "King Gigi" to worry about Zhou Fengliu refusing anything.

Having a troublemaker in the family is quite something.

...

"Yanzi? What? If you're busy, then you won't eat." Zhou Fengliu said when he saw that Feng Shayan didn't respond.

"Eat! Why not eat... You have to eat."

Feng Shayan snapped out of her daze. Her expression was now much more natural, and she felt less burdened. She glanced at Zhou Fengliu and then said:

"I'm not only going to eat, I'll also have a drink with you!"

"Alright, let's have a small drink." Zhou Fengliu didn't object.

A moment later.

Feng Shayan drove her Audi R8 with Zhou Fengliu around Guangzhou.

Zhou Fengliu had never traveled to Guangzhou before and didn't know where to find good barbecue, so he simply chose a small, shabby stall and prepared to have a good drink with Feng Shayan.

Driving a car worth a few million to eat at a cheap street food stall, and then riding a bike to a bar—it's all about saving money where you can and spending it where you can.

Feng Shayan didn't mind. Anyway, she had eaten with Zhou Fengliu once before, and as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. This time, she was even less reserved.

"What would you like to drink?" Zhou Fengliu asked.

"Cold beer will do," Feng Shayan said.

"OK..."

Zhou Fengliu didn't ask Feng Shayan what she wanted to eat; he simply negotiated with the owner.

He returned shortly afterward with two cases of cold beer. He skillfully used chopsticks to open the bottles and then placed them in front of Feng Shayan.

"So...you came to Guangzhou this time just to help me find a place to live?"

Zhou Fengliu took a swig of beer and casually asked Feng Shayan as if they were friends.

"Hmm... not really. It's just that the Tianxia Society has recently been relocating some of its businesses south, and we're planning to investigate whether to set up a branch in South China or something..."

Feng Shayan couldn't possibly say that she came specifically for Zhou Fengliu, so she came up with a reasonably good reason for herself.

After all, Feng Zhenghao had indeed considered opening a branch office in the south.

"As expected of the World Society, it's a large and powerful organization," Zhou Fengliu commented.

"No matter how big or powerful a company is, it's still a non-governmental organization. It can't compare to your 'Everywhere' organization, right, Mr. Zhou?"

Feng Shayan also took a couple of sips of beer and teased Zhou Fengliu a bit.

"Well, you know what... although the logic is sound, it's really tiring to be able to do everything. You have no idea how much work I had today... it was just too much."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Feng Shayan didn't pry, but simply said:

"Didn't you choose this place? If you find it too tiring, then come to the World Society, and I'll arrange some easy work for you?"

"No... Given my current situation, if I were to go to your World Society, it wouldn't be a good thing for you. I doubt even your father would be willing."

"how?"

"Try poaching the regional head of NaDuTong... Do you think your dad dares to take the job?"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Feng Shayan understood.

Things are different now.

Zhou Fengliu's current status is far more valuable than when he was a low-level employee in North China.

Their Tianxia Society is too small to accommodate Zhou Fengliu.

“That makes sense,” Feng Shayan nodded in agreement.

"Forget about this, did you bring your... Chen Duo with you too?"

“Yes, I brought her. Not only her... I also brought Zhang Lingyu along, otherwise I would have a hard time managing all this on my own,” Zhou Fengliu said.

"What? You brought Zhang Lingyu to South China too?"

Feng Shayan was somewhat surprised to hear this news.

Previously, the World Society's intelligence network had reported that Zhang Lingyu seemed to have negotiated with All-Knowing.

But if they were going to enter, they should have entered North China... How did Zhou Fengliu bring them to South China?

"What? You think my temple is too small to accommodate Master Lingyu?" Zhou Fengliu asked, seeing Feng Shayan's surprised reaction.
