When I woke up, it was already noon.
Chu Fang slightly raised his hand to block the direct sunlight.
Bored, he lay in bed for a while, played on his phone, replied to messages, and then got up.
He opened the door to the room, raised an eyebrow, and found that Ren Feiping was not there. The living room was also clean and tidy. He noticed that Ren Feiping had not taken his backpack, so he must not have left.
He washed up and felt refreshed. He went into the kitchen, looked at the refrigerator, and saw that there weren't many ingredients left. Too lazy to go downstairs to buy more, he decided to cook with the remaining ingredients.
I didn't make too much, just three dishes.
One dish is steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce. Various spices, such as cinnamon, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns, are added and stir-fried with fermented black beans until fragrant. Then, the spare ribs are added and stir-fried evenly. Seasonings are added, and then the dish is placed in a bowl and steamed in a rice cooker for a few minutes to complete the process.
While cooking the pork ribs, he also blanched the bitter melon. Blanching removes most of the bitterness from the bitter melon, and when stir-fried with the pork belly, it's refreshing and perfect for summer.
He placed the two dishes on the table, just as the door opened wide and Ren Feiping returned.
Chu Fang asked, "Where did you go?"
"Let's take a stroll through the famous Zhonghai Mingyuan." Ren Feiping wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with some emotion, "It's been quite an eye-opener."
"What's there to broaden your horizons about..." Chu Fang said casually while mixing cold dishes.
Chives and dried tofu.
The chives and red peppers, which had been soaked in salt water for twenty minutes, were mixed with blanched tofu and seasoned, resulting in a rather novel taste.
"I saw several CEOs of listed companies playing chess in my neighborhood, arguing heatedly, just like the old man downstairs in my building. And I saw several celebrities who claimed to be single, but they were all maintaining youthful, effeminate appearances, completely different from their on-screen personas..."
Only people at the same level can see the private aspects of each other's lives.
Despite the 30-degree weather, Ren Feiping sat downstairs, watching the residents coming and going, which broadened his horizons.
"Hehe." Chu Fang chuckled and instructed, "Don't spread those messages."
The residents of the community do not want their personal privacy to be discussed on a public screen.
“Hey, I’m a jerk, not a smart aleck,” Ren Feiping said. “Besides, even if the whole world shouts at me, who will believe me? I’m just a nobody.”
Looking at the three dishes on the table, which looked and smelled delicious, he gave Chu Fang a thumbs up:
"My goodness, you're just too perfect! Not to mention your handsome looks, you're young and rich, and you're also a great cook. If I were a girl, I would definitely pursue you. Did Zhong Tingyue save the galaxy in her past life?"
“Perhaps she suffered too much because of me in her past life, and in this life I am repaying her kindness.” Chu Fang set out the chairs and said, “Hurry up and eat, I have things to do this afternoon.”
"What's up?"
"move place."
The allure of money is boundless.
Chu Fang's private lawyer communicated with Aunt Ma, and both parties hoped to get it done as soon as possible.
Chu Fang hopes to finalize the deal as soon as possible and move next door to Zhong Tingyue, while Aunt Ma is afraid of missing out on a windfall.
The house contract was completed quickly, and all the necessary procedures were followed.
Now, Aunt Ma's house belongs to him.
Chu is preparing to move in this afternoon.
"Why would you choose to live in that old, run-down apartment instead of your perfectly good luxury apartment?" Ren Feiping shook his head. "If you can't win over Zhong Tingyue, I really don't know what will happen to you."
From Ren Feiping's perspective, Chu Fang sacrificed a lot for his relationship. Money was only the smallest part; he also invested time, energy, effort, patience, and passion into it.
If they really fail to catch him, the world will have one more heartless person.
Ren Feiping thought about it more and more and believed that emotions were a harmful thing.
Fortunately, he was a jerk.
Chu Fang simply smiled and did not reply.
He didn't know what would happen, he just wanted to do his best.
After finishing his meal, Chu Fang began tidying up the room, preparing to move some of his belongings to the Tanhua residential area.
"You're not going to move all your stuff from the whole house over there, are you?" Ren Feiping didn't leave; he helped him move.
He shook his head: "The apartment in the Tanhua residential area has everything, with all the furniture and facilities. I just need to move some daily necessities."
After buying it, he had someone renovate the house, replacing all the furniture with new ones, making it a completely new house.
Move in with just your bags.
In fact, Chu Fang did not plan to live there permanently. After winning Zhong Tingyue's heart, he planned to move back home and had been living in Zhonghai Mingyuan ever since. He was very comfortable with the pace of life in the community.
Actually, there wasn't much to pack or organize: a few simple changes of clothes, various electronic products, an Xbox, a PS, and the computer he bought for nearly seven figures.
It may not seem like much, but it still filled the car's trunk.
"Tsk tsk tsk." In the underground parking garage, Ren Feiping's face showed a regretful expression. "Several rare luxury cars are just sitting in the garage collecting dust, wasting their prime. You are an absolute killer."
"You're driving one?"
"Forget it." Ren Fei shook his head. "I only do what I'm capable of. I know my own character perfectly well. I can barely support myself, let alone a luxury car worth tens of millions. Do I deserve it? I don't!"
Ren Feiping possesses qualities that Chu Fang greatly admires: he acts with a balance of tension and relaxation, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and is reasonable and content.
He didn't become arrogant because of his status as an emotional mentor, didn't make unscrupulous demands, and didn't use his position as an emotional mentor to teach him how to do things.
This is quite remarkable.
Chu Fang and Ren Feiping got along very well.
Even if he was called to rescue her last night, it was because the whole thing originated with Chu Fang, and there was no way he could solve it.
Chu Fang didn't say much. He drove out of the garage, stopped the car at the entrance of the community, and handed a pack of cigarettes to the security guard: "Brother Liu, I'll be leaving the community for a while. Could you keep an eye on things for me? If anything happens, just call me. Thank you."
“It’s what we should do. Where are you going?” Brother Liu asked.
"How about I bring you a younger brother or sister-in-law?"
"real?"
"We've known each other for several years, do you think I've ever lied to you?"
"You fooled me!" Brother Liu replied seriously, "Last Mid-Autumn Festival you said you'd treat us to dinner, and we're still looking forward to that meal; this year for Chinese New Year, you said you'd give out red envelopes..."
Didn't I send it?
"You actually made a fortune, 0.01. You're a rich man, how dare you show it off?"
"Hehe. I was limited at the time, there was nothing I could do." Chu Fang smiled sheepishly.
During the Spring Festival, he initially sent out a lot of red envelopes without restraint, and he was quite happy to do so. Later, he realized that he was short of the one yuan limit, so he divided the one yuan into 100 red envelopes and sent them to ten groups on average.
One red envelope is worth 0.01.
Although I later made up for it with a red envelope, thinking about it now, it's quite embarrassing.
During the Chinese New Year, I give people a red envelope containing 0.01 yuan.
Brother Liu smiled as well.
They, as security guards, only felt this relaxed when chatting with Chu Fang, treating him as an equal, a level of respect they couldn't achieve with other residents.
Brother Liu didn't press the matter further and said, "If you bring a sister-in-law back, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope. I'll never be as stingy as you."
"Would a six-digit number work?"
Get out of here right now!
Chu Fang drove away from the residential area.
