"My friend went abroad and asked me to help her rent out her house," Qing Yan casually said, "Price is not the issue; the main thing is finding someone who will take care of the house like she does."
"We take good care of houses!" Yin Panpan hurriedly interjected, as if she saw a glimmer of hope.
"How much do you pay here per month?" Qing Yan asked.
"3500!"
"Then I'll rent it to you for 3500," Qing Yan said indifferently, "The house is also nearby, which makes commuting easier."
"President Qing, we've already seen all the houses in this area, and there are no two-bedroom ones for 3500 except for this one..." Yin Panpan was afraid that she might be charging too little and would have a hard time explaining to her friend later.
"My friend said the price is not a problem," Qing Yan checked the time, "I have something to attend to now. He Ning will help you move later. I need to ask my friend for the specific location; she told me last time, but I forgot."
"President Qing..." Yin Panpan didn't know how to express her gratitude.
Li Chunyuan also stood up, "Xiao Yan, you have helped us twice already. We really have no way to repay you... Thank you so much!"
"No need to repay," Qing Yan raised her lips, "Live well, live better than them. That's the best repayment for me and for yourselves."
Something seemed to stir in Li Chunyuan's heart, and her nose even felt a bit sour.
"That settles it then."
Qing Yan got up and left. After getting into her car, she opened her phone and found a small three-bedroom house with the smallest area and a central location among her various assets.
It was a small three-bedroom in Sunshine Coast, exquisitely decorated, with an area of 90 square meters. The entry code should be 101010. Several grandfathers often gave her houses, and to make it easy for her to remember, the codes were all set to this.
Qing Yan sent the detailed information to He Ning, "Meet at Waterfront Cafe later. I'll go in by myself, and you help them move."
"Yes, President Qing."
Si Corporation's President's Office.
Si Yechen had already lost count of how many times he had checked his phone. Besides the girl's screensaver, there were no new messages on the screen.
"Is the network bad?" Si Yechen looked at his full WiFi signal and doubted if the signal indicator was faulty. He looked at Qingmu, "Send me a WeChat message."
"Huh??" Qingmu didn't understand Lord Chen's intention, "Send... send a WeChat message?"
Why send a WeChat message at such a close distance? Couldn't they just speak directly?
Although Qingmu thought this way, he still asked respectfully, "Lord Chen, what should I send?"
"It's up to you."
"Well, then I'll send an emoji..."
Qingmu sent a smiling face, and Si Yechen received it instantly.
So, it wasn't a problem with the internet or the signal. It was because the girl didn't send him WeChat! That's why he didn't receive anything!
"Why send a smiling face during working hours?" Si Yechen felt like the smiling face was mocking him for not having anyone to talk to. "I'll donate this month's bonus to Hope Elementary School on your behalf."
Qingmu widened her eyes, what? Lord Chen, wasn't it you who told me to send it? Didn't you say anything goes?
How did my smiling face offend you?
Si Yechen opened the chat box, and his conversation with Yanyan was still stuck at around six in the morning when Yanyan told him to go to sleep, saying they would meet in a little while...
Clearly, she cared about him, but why did she disappear once he went to work...
Thinking about the other male employees in the company who were pursuing her, Si Yechen felt somewhat irritated. When he saw Qingmu still standing there, he asked, "What's wrong? Nothing to do? Did you follow up on the project I assigned to you? Did you solve the problems I asked you to solve?"
"Lord Chen, I'll do it right away!"
"Hold on!" Si Yechen looked at his retreating figure with an intention to leave. "Did I tell you to go?"
Qingmu: ?????
Qingmu turned back with a stiff scalp and said, "Lord Chen, do you have any further instructions?"
"Regarding the acquisition of those brands last time, is there any connection with the clothing industry?"
Upon hearing Si Yechen's question, Qingmu thought for a moment and said, "Yes! There's one, a top-tier brand called VO. Due to financial issues and internal conflicts among the management, among other reasons, we absorbed them into our company..."
Si Yechen asked calmly, "Do we need any more business partners?"
"Huh?" Qingmu was momentarily stunned. "Lord Chen, are you joking? Our group is involved in so many fields and has so many subsidiaries. How could we need more business partners? It's others who beg us to collaborate!"
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something—clothing company! Business partner!!
Got it!!!
He immediately changed his tone and said, "However, some of the long-term partners' prices are not that favorable anymore! I think it would be better if we find a new business partner, just to be prepared..."
Si Yechen raised his eyebrows, seeming pleased. "For example?"
Qingmu knew she had guessed correctly and hurriedly said, "For example, I think Miss Qing Yan's clothing company is quite good. They can help us with product processing. We have so many production lines that we can't handle them all. We can send some clothing to Miss Qing Yan's company for processing. After quality inspection, they can be sent back to our warehouse!"
Si Yechen relaxed his brows, seemingly approving of the idea.
"But I think, with our big brand suddenly cooperating with Miss Qing Yan's clothing company, it might attract attention."
"Oh, what do you suggest then?"
"I think VO can also be independent like Miss Qing Yan's clothing company, with a brand new name! Although it will rely on the Si Group behind the scenes, on the surface, it will be a completely new and independently developed company! Cooperating with Miss Qing Yan's company will create a balanced competition. Furthermore, I have already thought of a name for the new company, it can be called Mu Yan!"
Si Yechen arched an eyebrow. "You have considered it thoroughly."
Qingmu let out a sigh of relief. "Lord Chen overpraises me..."
"Then let's go with your idea." Si Yechen's tone was calm as water. "If you handle it well, your bonus will be doubled."
"Thank you, Lord Chen!" Qingmu was thrilled. It turned out that Si Yechen was thinking about Miss Qing Yan, and that's why he was in a bad mood!
Before leaving the office, Qingmu had a sudden inspiration. "Oh, by the way, Lord Chen..."
"Hmm?" Si Yechen, although still wearing an indifferent expression, seemed to be in a much better mood.
Qingmu smiled and said, "Although you are busy with countless matters every day, you should still show some concern for Miss Qing Yan! For example, you can send her a message or give her a call right now to ask what she's doing. Men should always take the initiative a bit more, don't you think, Lord Chen?"
Si Yechen was pleased with Qingmu's suggestion, but still pretended not to care. "Should I follow your instructions?"
"Lord Chen, this isn't instruction! It's a reminder! You know that girls need our care the most, and in case they feel neglected... Isn't that right, Lord Chen?"
"You have a point." Si Yechen finally picked up his phone and called Qing Yan.
Qingmu saw that Si Yechen's mood had improved considerably and finally relaxed before leaving.
Qing Yan was in the middle of discussing a collaboration with another manager when her phone suddenly vibrated.
