It was quite late, but Rong Sheng still went to the storeroom.

After searching for a while, he couldn't find what he was looking for.

Rong Sheng frowned slightly and asked the servants for a question.

"Where are the things kept in the storage room?"

"Sir, what are you referring to? The things that the Madam, Young Master, and Miss don't want are all kept in the storeroom!"

Rong Sheng was displeased; he pursed his lips and frowned.

After a few seconds, he finally said, "Where did you put the thing that was packed in an old suitcase?"

"An old suitcase?"

The servant also tried hard to recall.

Yes, there is such a suitcase, which has been there for many years.

"I've got it," the maid said. "Sir, Madam has already had it thrown away."

In an instant, Rong Sheng's eyes also furrowed. "When did this happen?"

After tilting her head slightly and thinking for a moment, the maid said, "It was a long time ago, right when we moved into this villa. The lady said that those things were no longer useful and would never be needed again, so we should throw them away; they wouldn't take up much space."

Rong Sheng let out a long sigh.

Then, he waved his hand and said, "You can go now, it's nothing. Don't tell your wife, just pretend I didn't ask anything."

"yes!"

With a slight bow, the servant left.

Rong Sheng leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought.

That old suitcase was bought when he and Zhou Kexin went abroad for their first honeymoon.

After she passed away, he packed some of her belongings, including photos, into that suitcase.

Not wanting Yang Lijuan to be suspicious, he put it in the storage room.

When he moved, he even brought this box with him.

Now, it's all over; there's nothing left.

Rong Sheng still frowned.

After thinking for a while, he called his assistant.

"Please help me investigate Qiao Chu, the more detailed the better."

"Chairman Rong, didn't we already investigate this before?"

"Investigate her background! Isn't it rumored that she wasn't adopted by the Qiao family?"

"Yes, she was adopted by Qiao Yijue. Qiao Yu and Li Wanyue only have one daughter."

"Check it out as soon as possible, and let me know as soon as you have any news."

"yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Rong Sheng was still deep in thought.

From now on, we really can't let Rong Yan provoke Qiao Chu anymore.

He worried that this girl was a ticking time bomb.

Hopefully it's not what he thinks.

It's probably not that coincidental; he's probably overthinking it.

******

After shooting the advertisement, Cheng Ling still had to rush to shoot a set of posters.

By the time she finished her work, it was past lunchtime.

After removing her makeup and changing her clothes, Cheng Ling came out of the lounge and saw that Xiao Liu was already asleep.

After hesitating for a moment, she patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder.

In an instant, Xiao Liu opened his eyes.

Still dazed, he paused for a moment and looked around.

"Can you leave now?"

Cheng Ling nodded. "Are you very tired? Are you hungry? I'll treat you to hot pot."

Xiao Liu: "I wouldn't say I'm tired, I'm just bored while waiting. Besides playing games, I keep playing games. I got tired of playing, so I'm giving my eyes a rest."

"Let's go get something to eat."

Cheng Ling wanted to bring her suitcase, but Xiao Liu wouldn't let her.

"Let me do it. Your hands are precious. I don't want anyone to see this and then report me."

Cheng Ling withdrew her hand and then nodded.

Actually, she felt sorry for Xiao Liu.

"You...you must have spent a lot of money today, right? Probably several thousand yuan!"

"It's nothing."

"Do you earn a lot? A few thousand yuan is still money. I used to earn only a few thousand yuan a month. I had to pay rent and be frugal. I didn't have any money to give to my parents."

"It's alright, at least we won't starve."

"I don't see you doing anything, so how come your salary is so high?"

Xiao Liu and Cheng Ling chatted as they walked.

It's a bit of a walk from here to the parking lot.

Pfft... Xiao Liu laughed, "I make money with my brain, can you compare to me?"

Do you own a house in Haicheng?

"Checking my household registration? Let me tell you, don't stare at me, you're not my type!"

“What are you thinking? I was just asking, I didn’t mean anything by it. I’m working hard now to earn money so that I can buy a house in Haicheng in the future and bring my parents here. I also have a younger brother who is in college.”

"Buy a house? If you become famous, you can earn enough in a year to buy a house in a good location. Around 100 square meters, that would cost ten or twenty million."

Wow, that costs so much money!

Cheng Ling stopped, her eyes widening as she stared at Xiao Liu in astonishment.

Xiao Liu flicked her forehead, and Cheng Ling immediately touched her forehead.

Xiao Liu felt like a teacher now, and had to teach his ignorant and naive students, "Haicheng is an international metropolis, second only to Kyoto. Houses in good locations will naturally cost this much. If it's a remote area, it will naturally be cheaper."

Do you own a house?

"Of course I have a house, otherwise where would I live?"

"You can afford such an expensive house, so you must be quite wealthy!"

"I wouldn't call myself rich, but I'm not afraid of starving to death in this lifetime."

Cheng Ling counted on her fingers, "I only received a salary of 10,000 yuan last month, and Sister Chu gave me an additional 2,000 yuan bonus. After the jewelry show, I have a more significant event and fashion show, but I will only receive a little over 10,000 yuan. This is the best commission I have received so far. At this rate, I probably won't be able to buy a house for several years."

"You're just starting out, having a job is already pretty good. You've already filmed commercials and started getting endorsements, these are all very lucrative. Don't worry, working with my young mistress, she won't treat you badly at all. In two years at most, you'll definitely be able to afford a house. Right now, your focus should be on working harder and harder."

"Thank you for your kind words. I plan to buy a house in two years. I will work harder and harder."

"Once you become famous, you can earn millions from just one advertisement. You'll be shining brightly. No matter what you do or where you go, you'll always be dazzling."

Cheng Ling laughed, "I didn't think that much about it. I just wanted to buy a house so I could bring my parents out and give them a better life. Sister Chu is really kind of me. She helped me get a new house, and I don't have to pay rent. She said it was a company-provided place. I live in an apartment now. It's a very beautiful house. I don't even want to touch the things in it. I'm so worried that I'll break them."

She was such an innocent little girl; Xiao Liu didn't say a word.

Cheng Ling then asked, "Is your house big? How many houses do you own?"

“I only have one apartment, I live alone in it, it’s a duplex, not too big or too small, but it’s comfortable.”

Do you experience a lot of stress every month?

"What pressure do I have? I'm an old bachelor, I don't have to think about anything, I'm carefree and live a carefree life!"

"You're so handsome, don't you have a girlfriend?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? I'm not your full-time assistant. I'll be here for a few days and then leave. It would be a waste of my talent to have someone like me as your assistant."

"It's just a chat between friends. I've already told you about my situation, so can't I ask you about yours?"
