Epiphyllum Residential Area.
Zhong Tingyue got out of the car and looked at the night sky. The stars twinkled and shone, filling the night with mystery and the unknown.
Her eyes were clear and transparent, like a spring in the mountains, but at this moment they revealed a sense of confusion and bewilderment.
She slowly withdrew her gaze, gently exhaled, and walked into the residential area.
I'm home.
Upon opening the door, a tabby cat was seen crouching at the entrance, its fur elegant and covered with beautiful markings.
Upon seeing Zhong Tingyue, the tabby cat's usual aloof demeanor vanished without a trace. It wagged its tail, meowed, and strolled around her.
Zhong Tingyue squatted down, and the tabby cat jumped into her arms. She gently stroked its fur, her eyes full of love, and her voice was particularly gentle: "Was Lily good today? Did you eat well? Did you break anything in the house? Hmm? No, Lily is such a good baby. Mommy loves you."
At this moment, Zhong Tingyue became unusually gentle, a stark contrast to her outward appearance.
The tabby cat narrowed its eyes to slits, trying its best to raise its head so that Zhong Tingyue could pet it, looking quite pleased.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Just then, a voice came from inside the door, "Listen to that little bastard's nonsense, I was tortured by it today. Since you didn't come home, your daughter almost tore the whole house apart."
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a girl standing inside. She was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, tall, and wearing simple shorts and a white t-shirt, which highlighted her long legs and fresh temperament.
Her short hair is playful and stylish, making her look particularly capable.
“No way, my Lily is very well-behaved,” Zhong Tingyue retorted as she entered the room.
"Nonsense!" He Yi, her best friend, rolled her eyes. "That bastard is only obedient in front of you; behind your back, he's a devil. One day, I'll kill him. And don't give me that innocent, clueless act. With our relationship, don't I know you?"
The two had known each other since college and were close friends. After graduation, they rented an apartment together and lived together for several years.
He Yi knows her best friend all too well.
She may appear aloof and as if she rejects the whole world, but she is actually warm-hearted and passionate.
To put it simply, Zhong Tingyue appears aloof in front of strangers, but once the two become acquainted, she reveals a different side of herself.
That means there will be emotional ups and downs: happiness, sadness, sorrow, grievance, mischief...
It's as if, at this moment, Zhong Tingyue, fully aware of her pet's personality and actions, still insists on arguing with He Yi: "My daughter isn't naughty; she's the best treasure in the world, all because of you..."
"Shut up!" He Yi put her hands on her hips. "We're all seasoned foxes, who are you trying to fool with ghost stories?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Tingyue pouted her red lips slightly, walked into the house, and as if venting her emotions, kicked off her white shoes, leaving them on opposite sides, like a child.
"Put your shoes out properly, or when I clean tomorrow, I'll throw your shoes, sheets, and duvet cover, along with you, into the trash can."
“... ..."
Zhong Tingyue held the tabby cat and arranged the white shoes.
The two sat on the sofa. Zhong Tingyue comforted the pet, while He Yi, wearing a face mask and gazing at the ceiling, chatted idly: "It seems our next-door neighbor has moved."
“That’s good,” Zhong Tingyue replied. “I hate that family the most, especially that kid, he’s such a brat.”
"I don't know what the new neighbors will be like, or if they will be easy to get along with. I hope they will be good neighbors."
"Who cares?" Zhong Tingyue said. "We don't live under the same roof, and we don't sleep with him. Who cares if we get along or not?"
"What if our neighbor is a jerk who throws parties at home all the time and brings girls home? This neighborhood doesn't have good soundproofing, so we won't be happy living here."
Zhong Tingyue's eyes darted around: "Then you'll have to be dedicated and win over your neighbor."
"roll!"
Sometimes He Yi is quite curious.
Why is there such a big difference between the same person being outside and at home?
The contrast is striking.
... ...
Yateng Yige.
Chu Fang lay lazily on the table, his eyes opening and closing, one eye on guard and the other on watch.
Summer always makes people feel lazy and have no energy at all.
Furthermore, in order to respond to energy conservation and emission reduction, and under the guise of protecting the environment, Chu Fang believes that the company boss is simply habitually reducing costs, and the air conditioning temperature is kept at 28 degrees Celsius.
The company has a small space, many employees, and high outside temperatures. Combined with these factors, the temperature inside the company is at least 30 degrees Celsius.
Not only him, but most of the company's employees were also suffering from the high temperatures, which made them lose their motivation to work.
Apart from Cai Guan.
Even though he was covered in sweat, the chubby boy was still working so hard, his eyes shining brightly as he drew the blueprints, full of energy.
"Brother Chu, why are you looking at me like that?" The chubby boy noticed the gaze and turned around, puzzled.
"You're handsome!"
"Brother Chu, you're teasing me again."
Chu Fang is the company's undisputed handsome man, but compared to him, the two are worlds apart.
No. The most handsome men are those who take their work seriously.
"Hehe." The chubby guy scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "I don't have your social skills, Brother Chu, to get along well with clients. I don't have such good eloquence, I can only draw pictures."
"fine."
Chu Fang nodded.
Every person is born unique.
Some are good at socializing, some are skilled, some are good-looking, some are shrewd and capable...
The chubby boy lacked social skills, but was very capable at work.
Zhong Tingyue praised his design drawings.
He is talented.
As he spoke, Chu Fang narrowed his one open eye, yawned, and couldn't help but say, "I'm going to sleep for a while. Keep an eye on things for me."
Yateng Yige has a clear rule that employees are not allowed to slack off or sleep during working hours, but that is just a rule, not a law, and must be followed.
Anyway, Chu Fang didn't want to follow the rules.
He earned a salary of two thousand yuan and managed to win over that General Manager Huang.
He's already made a huge profit for the company, what's wrong with him taking a nap?
Ma Junjie walked out of the office with a document in his hand and happened to see Chu Fang playing chess with "Duke of Zhou". He frowned slightly, then looked at Zhong Tingyue, then at Chu Fang. His gaze lingered between the two, and then he sighed helplessly.
“Tingyue, please keep a closer eye on Chu Fang. He’s a newcomer and has a lot to learn.” He placed the file on Zhong Tingyue’s desk and said, “Interior design isn’t just about interpersonal relationships; design, composition, and logical thinking are also very important.”
Zhong Tingyue turned her head and saw Chu Fang fast asleep. A faint smile appeared in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She replied softly, "Okay."
Even so, after Ma Junjie left, Zhong Tingyue did not discipline Chu Fang and let him sleep as usual.
