Lin Mian, really, is this too magical?
Not only does she live in the same building as Shi Lin, but also right across from him?
Does this kind of luxury apartment having only two households per floor mean that the entire floor is just her and Shi Lin?
Lin Mian's heart was anything but calm at the moment.
"Master, is this the company-assigned employee dormitory?" she asked, not giving up.
"Yes, currently, there is only this set of rooms left. But no one has lived here in a long time, so you might need to do some cleaning," Qin Li replied.
He entered the password and the door lock clicked open.
The interior layout and furnishings inside the room presented themselves before Lin Mian's eyes.
She looked around at the furniture and decor in the room and once again found herself dumbfounded.
How were these sofas, coffee tables, cabinets, beds... exactly the same as those in Shi Lin's house?
If not for the change in direction, she would have thought she had walked into the wrong place.
"What's wrong? Is there something you're not satisfied with?" Qin Li noticed her unease and asked instinctively.
Lin Mian snapped out of her daze and shook her head somewhat dazedly,"No, it's just that I find it a bit unbelievable."
Were the furnishings of wealthy people all mass-produced? Even the furniture brands are the same.
"Don't be so nervous, it's just a place to live, settle down, and focus on working for me," Qin Li joked, thinking she was feeling overwhelmed.
Lin Mian forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves in her heart and persisted in asking him.
"Am I the only one living here?"
Qin Li scratched his head, calmly replied, "Currently, yes, you are the only one. But this is only temporary. Once a few other dorms become available, you can move there."
So it was only temporary.
Lin Mian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling less nervous now.
"Okay, thank you, Master."
"Why are you being so polite with me?"
Qin Li moved all her luggage into the room, showed her around, and as Lin Mian started to unpack, he sensibly prepared to leave.
"You go ahead and unpack. I'll give you half a day off today. Just settle in and relax."
Lin Mian nodded, thanking him profusely.
Once outside Lin Mian's apartment, Qin Li sat in his car and made a phone call to his secretary.
"Check for any available properties for sale in Eight Directions City. I want to buy several units as soon as possible."
"Mr. Qin, why are you buying so many apartments?" the secretary asked, puzzled.
"To set up employee dormitories."
The secretary: "?"
Since when did our company's benefits become so good, and employee dormitories are located in high-end apartments?
On the other side, Lin Mian finished organizing her clothes, made her bed, and she was so tired that she broke into a sweat. She collapsed on the bed, took out her phone to check the time - it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and she didn't realize how quickly it had gotten dark outside. It felt no different from going to work.
*Buzz Buzz...*
Her phone vibrated twice, and she received a notification in the company group chat. The notice was about the opening of the employee dormitories, with accommodation subsidies for interns. As long as they were interns, they could apply for the dormitories. The notice also emphasized the importance of safety when renting accommodations.
This notification caused quite a stir in the chat. Many people were sighing:
"Wow, this batch of interns is so lucky. The company never had so many benefits before. The senior employees have lost out on a billion!"
"I heard it's the high-end apartment where even Mr. Qin lives. Jealousy has left me unrecognizable!"
"I even want to become an intern..."
Lin Mian watched the messages flooding the group chat, silently exiting the interface. Luckily, they didn't know she had already moved in; otherwise, they would be even more envious. But why was she assigned a whole apartment with multiple bedrooms to herself?
Lin Mian thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she decided to stop pondering over it. She rested on the bed for a while, then got up to continue her chores. There was a lot of trash left in the garbage can, and she planned to go out and throw it away. She cautiously leaned over the peephole and glanced across the hallway.
The door opposite was tightly closed, and Xilin should not have returned yet.
Taking advantage of the absence of anyone opposite, she picked up the garbage bag and headed out. Just as she closed the door, the door of the room opposite suddenly opened—
