Chapter 28: One House, Two Rooms?

Sitting in the taxi, Liu Beige was so excited that she could hardly contain herself!

She was extremely satisfied with the house; the decoration, layout, and all the furnishings perfectly matched her aesthetic.

Moreover, she is a person who hates trouble. Once she has her eye on something, she doesn't want to compare prices anymore and just wants to get it as soon as possible!

Lost in beautiful dreams of the future, she took out her phone and dialed the number of her beloved…

"Hey~" It was that same gentle, doting voice on the other end: "Little princess, how's the house?"

"It's all set!" Liu Beige exclaimed happily. "And the price is quite reasonable, only a little over 300 million for 348 square meters, and it's fully furnished! And let me tell you, it's a really nice coincidence, the landlord is also a dancer, she has such a great presence, is beautiful, and has excellent taste, the house is decorated so beautifully..."

Upon hearing the keywords "area price" and "older sister who studies dance," Xiang Pingchuan's mind began to buzz!

When Liu Beige was sent to look at houses, she actually took a liking to the house that she had bought for Zhou Yun years ago?

With so many houses for sale in Jiangcheng, how could it be such a coincidence?

"Which neighborhood is it?" he interrupted Liu Beige somewhat urgently, asking with his last glimmer of hope, "What's the exact address?"

"Ah~" Liu Beige vaguely sensed that her sweetheart seemed to be in a bad mood, so she obediently took out the agreement and looked at it, then read aloud: "Room 101, Building 9, Qiuluyuan, Phase 1, Qinchun Garden..."

Xiang Pingchuan's scalp tingled at that moment!

Because I had just received a call from Chen Yuanzhou, I had already taken the three property certificates out of the safe and placed them open beside me. The address on them was exactly the same as the one Liu Beige had given me.

"Why are you looking at a second-hand apartment?" Xiang Pingchuan suppressed his emotions. "Won't it feel awkward to live in a place that someone else has lived in? Can you talk to the landlord about canceling the lease? I'll personally help you choose a place."

"No way! Breaching the contract would cost 30 yuan!" Liu Beige said, feeling wronged. "I really love this apartment, it's just the way I like it, and I get along really well with the landlady. She's a real beauty! I didn't feel awkward at all living here. Besides, Manager Chen told me that once it's sold at this low price, it's gone!"

"Oh, right! When we were signing the agreement, there were other people bidding higher, so I raised my offer to 310 million. But the landlady is kind and was still willing to sell it to me for 300 million!"

"How about that? I told you I'm lucky for my husband! Such a nice house at such a low price—most people can't afford it!"

Xiang Pingchuan held the earphone in one hand and rubbed his temples hard with the other, feeling a sharp pain in his head!

What's this now? From keeping a mistress in a gilded cage to having two people living in one house?

Was the transition from third to fourth grade smooth?

Even raising a fish requires acclimation to warm water, so what's with this seamless transition?

Then Liu Beige continued, "And another thing, Manager Chen asked whose name the house should be under? I don't think it's good to buy it under either name alone. What do you think? Pingchuan, shouldn't we consider getting our marriage certificate?"

Xiang Pingchuan: "..."

Is this considered forced marriage?

It's impossible for them to get a marriage certificate; otherwise, it wouldn't be a moral issue, but a criminal one.

Finally, he replied, "There's no rush to get the marriage certificate. I'm a bit busy right now, so I'll hang up now..."

"Well... alright." Liu Beige's voice suddenly sounded a little disappointed, but at this point, Xiang Pingchuan was too lazy to think about it anymore.

He still really liked Liu Beige, his canary. She was young, beautiful, had a great figure and temperament, and was lively and energetic. Every time they were together, she could relieve his tense emotions. Unlike Zhou Yun, who had become more and more like a resentful woman in the past two years. Every time they met, she looked sad and melancholy, and he found her increasingly unpleasant to look at.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to keep my relationship with Zhou Yun a secret from Liu Beige!

Xiang Pingchuan pondered for a moment, thinking that as long as he didn't show up himself and only let Liu Beige and Zhou Yun interact throughout the process, he should be able to keep the house purchase a secret.

Yes, that's the plan! When it's time to officially sign the contract and complete the transaction, I'll just make up an excuse like a business trip.

Thinking this way, Xiang Pingchuan's anxious heart finally calmed down.

……

The Northern High-tech Industrial Park is not far from Qinchun Jiayuan; it takes about ten minutes by taxi.

As Chen Yuanzhou sat in the car and looked out, the park, which had just completed its first phase of construction, still had large areas of farmers' houses and scattered small workshops to the north due to demolition issues, while many tall buildings had already been erected to the south.

This sense of discontinuity amidst rapid urban development has always been Chen Yuanzhou's favorite kind of scenery…

Because this scenery contains boundless opportunities and wealth!

After getting off the car, Chen Yuanzhou looked around at the roadside. The brand-new park was still deserted. It was obvious that the leasing of these office buildings was not going smoothly before the park reached a certain scale.

When Chen Yuanzhou entered the Zhibo Park, he noticed that the gatekeeper in the guard booth was an old man with gray hair, who was dozing off with his head tilted back. Some cars inside the park were parked crookedly at the entrance of the office building, while the large parking lots a little further away were empty.

Upon entering the building, there was no reception desk, no security guards, and no access control for the elevators. Only a few cleaning ladies were sitting and chatting in the lounge area…

Chen Yuanzhou entered the elevator lobby without any hindrance.

However, he didn't rush to take the elevator. Instead, he looked at the floor plan of the companies next to him. The office building had 26 floors, each floor was more than 1,000 square meters, and there were currently less than 100 companies.

Most of them are small-scale startups, with only a few large enterprises.

Chen Yuanzhou then took the elevator and glanced at the crowded floors to get a general idea of ​​the situation before heading straight for the 26th floor.

This place serves as the headquarters of Yonghe Group. The decoration here is visibly luxurious, but it is clearly an older generation's aesthetic, with plenty of luxury but lacking in vitality.

The receptionist opened the electric glass door for Chen Yuanzhou, and after learning his purpose, led him to an office around the corner.

Upon arriving at the door, Chen Yuanzhou saw a nameplate that read "Deputy General Manager," which made him secretly speculate further.

"Knock knock knock~"

"Enter"

Guided by the receptionist, Chen Yuanzhou pushed open the door and entered Xiang Pingchuan's office.

However, the office left him slightly disappointed.

The space is less than 50 square meters, with very standard filing cabinets, sofas, coffee tables, and somewhat old boss's desk and chairs.

This pomp and circumstance seems somewhat incongruous with his status as the "heir to the Yonghe Group".

"Hello, Mr. Xiang!" Chen Yuanzhou glanced at him briefly, then quickly stepped forward with a smile to greet him, extending his hand as he did so.

I finally met this legendary "ex-boyfriend". Xiang Pingchuan looked to be in his thirties, dressed in a suit and tie, with a neat and capable hairstyle and exquisitely trimmed sideburns. His face, which was not particularly handsome to begin with, appeared mature and steady under the backdrop of this exquisite style.

Xiang Pingchuan glanced at Chen Yuanzhou, somewhat taken aback.

He thought it was just a real estate agent who would take the property certificate and leave, so why did he have to shake hands with him so seriously?

However, out of basic courtesy and politeness, he still extended his hand to shake hands with Chen Yuanzhou, and then said, "The three certificates are all here, you can take them."

"Okay, I'll give you a receipt," Chen Yuanzhou replied, bending over his desk to write the receipt, while feeling somewhat anxious.

The process of collecting certificates was too brief, leaving no room for communication, which made it impossible to achieve one's goals.

Just then, the office door was pushed open...
