"Hello, landlord, it's me, Ruoxi. I wanted to ask if the apartment I used to live in is still there."
Jian Ruoxi estimated that there were only a few days left before the party started, and she should consider moving out.
"Oh, it's Ruoxi. You're a bit late. I just rented out that apartment."
So fast?
She must have moved out not long ago, how come the landlord has already found a tenant?
She remembered that when she first found this house, it had been empty for over a month.
"So, is the tenant considering sharing the apartment? How long will she be staying there?"
She's lived there for a long time and has grown attached to it; if possible, she still hopes to live there.
The landlord hesitated, glancing at the man in the elegant suit beside him to see if he would agree.
This morning, this person came straight to his house and immediately asked to rent a house.
If he hadn't spoken first, he would have been so frightened that he would have called the police immediately.
Who rents a house and then brings along five or six burly bodyguards?
Lu Shen shook his head, his disagreement quite clear.
The landlord swallowed hard and put the phone receiver back to his ear.
"Ruoxi, that's not a good idea. She plans to live alone long-term and doesn't want to share a place."
"Besides, he's paid three years' rent upfront, so you probably won't be able to wait until he moves out. Why don't you look at other places?"
Although this man was somewhat strange, his generosity was unprecedented.
He wouldn't refuse if the rent for three years was to be paid in full upfront.
I can only apologize to Ruoxi.
"Do you know anyone who rents out a house?" Jian Ruoxi was still determined to ask.
It wouldn't be right for her to move out of the villa before she even had a chance to find a place to live.
At Lu Shen's prompting, the landlord refused Jian Ruoxi again.
"Oh, I haven't heard anyone around me mention this yet. Well, I'll keep an eye out for you."
"If I find a suitable one, I'll let you know as soon as possible."
Jian Ruoxi hung up the phone with some disappointment, her doubts growing stronger.
That's strange, when did the apartments in that neighborhood become so good?
According to the landlord, they are in high demand.
"I've said everything you asked," the landlord said to Lu Shen, rubbing his fingers together with a fawning expression.
Lu Shen nodded to A-Jie beside him, and A-Jie immediately took out a few banknotes and handed them to him.
The landlord happily agreed.
"Don't worry, there are only a few rental properties in this neighborhood, and I know them all. I'll tell them not to rent out the property to Ruoxi."
I wonder what important person Ruoxi offended, that they would spend so much money just to make sure she had nowhere to stay.
The way the rich are punished is truly different.
"Young Master Lu, even if we cut off the housing supply, it won't stop the young mistress from leaving."
The young mistress knows more than just one person here.
If she can't find someone here, she'll find someone else.
"Then let's intercept them one by one."
The only way he could think of to stop Jian Ruoxi was this.
Don't let her find a house yet.
Thinking of the people Ruoxi might contact, he sent messages to them one by one.
Jian Ruoxi propped her head up with one hand, pondering who else could help her find a place to live.
Oh right, how could she forget Ran Jie?
Ran Jie, who is known for his connections in the entertainment industry, can definitely help her find someone.
Inside the office, Ran Jie was discussing future career plans with Su Ziyu.
A message suddenly popped up on my phone.
"What the hell? How did they manage to find me for something like this?"
He's their agent, not their love protector.
Lu Shen is becoming more and more adept at using himself.
"What's wrong?" Su Ziyu was about to tell Ran Jie the contents of the next announcement when he heard Ran Jie swear.
"No, it's nothing."
It's best not to let Ziyu know about Ruoxi's situation for now.
"Let's continue. Where were we? Right, the next episode of 'Mercedes Life' was being recorded."
"By the next episode, I hope you can make a significant breakthrough in your fashion sense."
Before he could finish giving his instructions, the familiar ringtone of his cell phone rang again.
When Ran Jie saw the three big characters "Jian Ruoxi" light up on the screen, he felt like smashing his phone.
They really are a couple; all they do is nag him.
"Why are you calling at this hour? Don't you know I'm busy right now?" He said to Jian Ruoxi in a very irritating tone.
"So fierce? Which celebrity made you angry?"
Heaven knows, she didn't even go to the company today, so she had no chance to provoke him.
"Jian Ruoxi, if I were to die young, it would definitely be because of you. So, what is it?"
Although he already knew what Jian Ruoxi was going to say, in order not to give himself away, he had no choice but to pretend to ask again.
"Here's the thing, I'd like you to help me find a place to live, the sooner the better."
She's not picky anymore; she just wants a place where she can stay.
"No." Ran Jie's quick reply left Jian Ruoxi speechless.
No, Ran Jie didn't even ask?
Just say you can't find it, you don't have it. There's no need to be so obvious in your attempt to appease her.
Ran Jie later realized that his answer was too quick. He was only thinking about getting Ruoxi away as soon as possible and forgot that she would become suspicious.
"You were living comfortably at the villa, why do you suddenly want to leave?"
Despite earning so much money now, he has no chance of living in such a high-end villa.
The place is filled with the best amenities, and there are people to take care of her. Is Ruoxi still not satisfied?
"That's right, if you're not used to living here, just tell me if you can find someone else."
She couldn't very well tell Ran Jie that Lu Shen's fiancée had come knocking on her door, and that she was too ashamed to continue living there.
"Hehe, no."
He dared to say that if he agreed to help Ruoxi today, A-Jie and his gang would definitely throw him out of his bed the next day.
His own home, though small, was still safe.
I can only apologize to Ruoxi.
Seemingly anticipating Ruoxi's outburst, Ran Jie quickly hung up the phone.
"I think I just heard that Ruoxi is moving?"
Su Ziyu's tone clearly revealed an undisguised joy when he asked the question.
That's great! Ruoxi listened to what he said last time and is finally moving out of Lu Shen's house.
"Are you sure you didn't mishear me?"
Oh no, he was so focused on calling Ruoxi that he forgot Su Ziyu was still here.
Given his feelings for Ruoxi, how could he not offer to help?
"Ziyu, I suggest you don't get involved in this matter."
It was obvious that the couple had a fight, and Lu Shen was trying every possible way to keep them here.
If anyone blocks his way right now, you can imagine what will happen to them.
"Ruoxi's affairs are my affairs." After saying that, Su Ziyu walked out of the office.
He really hoped that Ruoxi could move out of there today.
