He could still convince himself that this was just a fleeting thought of Tao Zhizhi's, and he could barely understand it when buying the car and the house in Jianan Community, but this place puzzled him greatly.
"Zhizhi, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
Seeing Tao Zhizhi's conflicted expression, Fu Jue patted her head reassuringly.
Tao Zhizhi really didn't know how to start the conversation; she couldn't bring herself to explain all this incredible nonsense.
"Zhizhi, are you satisfied with this place?"
"Why do you seem so familiar with this place?"
Fu Jue did not hide anything from her:
“Number 8 next door is my home, but now it’s mostly my parents living here. I used to come here often when I was a child, but that family immigrated not long ago.”
There's one more thing Fu Jue didn't mention: Lin Jiao plans to use No. 9 as her wedding home, but she hasn't decided who to give it to yet. It would be fairer to wait until another house becomes available in Yutianjing before buying it.
At this moment, Lin Jiao, who was in apartment number eight, received the news that the apartment next door had already been bought. She called Fu Linyue in tears:
"Old Fu, number nine has been bought. Oh, what were you hesitating about back then? Now there's not a single building left."
Fu Linyue frowned upon hearing this. Logically speaking, he had been keeping an eye on things all along, so it was impossible for anyone to get ahead of him and have his secretary investigate the information.
"Jiaojiao, number nine was bought by Zhizhi."
Lin Jiao ripped off the expensive face mask, her face full of surprise:
"Old Fu, are you sure you're not seeing things? At Zhizhi's house—"
"Not necessarily. I heard her little shop is quite profitable, but it's unlikely—"
Lin Jiao became suspicious again, feeling that it was unlikely.
"It was indeed her who bought it. You can ask Fu Jue for details tonight; it might be helpful."
Lin Jiao stopped worrying about the wedding room and sighed, "Let's look at other places. We should prepare something for Xiao Jue as soon as possible."
——
"Is Zhizhi satisfied with the decor here?"
"I'm quite satisfied, but I'd like to make the bedroom more homey."
Tao Zhizhi paced around the room, looking around. She felt something was missing. The black, white, and gray design was indeed very sophisticated, but she was itching to make some changes.
"Fu Jue, let's go buy some furniture. I want to replace this bed and decorate the bedroom a bit more."
Fu Jue saw through her desire to move in quickly and smiled.
"Okay, I'll go with you to choose."
The two walked hand in hand into the furniture store. Since the bed is the most important piece of furniture in the bedroom, Tao Zhizhi went straight for the beds.
"Hello, what style of bed are you looking for? You can try them out."
The sales assistant led the two to a three-meter-long bed. Tao Zhizhi lay down and was embraced by the soft and comfortable mattress. She felt the blankets and pillows pulling on her, which she found irresistible.
"This is great! I feel like I could fall asleep as soon as I lie down."
She chose a light pink three-piece bedding set, and Fu Jue gritted his teeth: [It's just pink sheets!]
Afterwards, he took Fu Jue to buy daily necessities. No matter what Tao Zhizhi picked up, Fu Jue would grab a similar one.
"Toothbrush, slippers, towel... Hmm, I've bought everything! Wait, why so much?"
Tao Zhizhi looked at the various household items in her shopping cart, all of which were in pairs. Even the decorative items she had carefully selected for her bedside table were couple items. She put her hands on her hips and looked at Fu Jue teasingly.
"Senior Fu, your intentions are crystal clear!"
"Hmm, you caught me. I remember last time Baby said we'd move in together once the house was renovated. Now that we have a ready-made place, is that not allowed?"
Fu Jue blinked his eyes, then stared at her with wide, puppy-dog eyes, trying to charm her.
Tao Zhizhi smiled slightly, patted his head, and felt secretly pleased.
"Oh, I haven't told my parents yet. I guess I can only pick up my luggage and go there tomorrow."
After making the decision to move, Tao Zhizhi talked to her parents when she got home tonight. Her parents neither approved nor rejected it, but Tao Zhizhi knew that she was capable of moving out!
[Accelerated Task Two: Build a branch of the Warm Food Shop in the Shui Mu Resort Area within five days, set prices according to the resort area's standards, and attract 1,000 new customers.]
Tao Zhizhi hasn't even finished processing the rewards yet. As expected of an accelerated mission, it really doesn't give her a moment's rest.
However, without the support of a system, it would be difficult for her to open a shop in the Shui Mu Resort Area, especially since there are not enough kitchen helpers available now.
Hey, when it comes to kitchen helpers, she immediately used her points to buy two kitchen helpers, spending 10,000 points.
This Shuimu Resort is located at the border of Qingshui City and Mumian City. It has beautiful scenery and is very suitable for vacation, but the price is quite high. If it were Tao Zhizhi in the past, she would have been amazed by the price and immediately checked it off!
Things are different now. She is now someone who wants to open a shop there. She contacted the person in charge of the resort's official website and, unsurprisingly, was rejected.
Tao Zhizhi scratched her head: "They won't even give me a chance to try it out. What if people don't even want my little shop?!"
She practically wore out their brochures and made countless phone calls in her attempt to get a spot in this resort, but the responses she received were always the same:
"I'm sorry, after careful consideration, we feel that your hotel does not match the style of the resort area, so we will not consider it at this time."
On the second day of the mission, she took the manual directly to the shop and took a break from her busy schedule to find the person in charge whom she hadn't called yet.
"Zhizhi wants to go on vacation?"
Fu Jue strolled leisurely into the kitchen, glanced at a familiar brochure, and realized it was Cen Lin's resort area.
Tao Zhizhi was troubled and said dejectedly:
"No, I want to open a branch there, but they won't let me!"
"Tell me, what's wrong with the style of this little shop!"
Tao Zhizhi slammed her hand on the table angrily, as if to say, "My little shop is the best!"
Fu Jue gently took her reddened hand in his palm and rubbed it:
"Don't take it out on yourself. I know the general manager of this resort. Let me put in a good word for you, okay?"
Tao Zhizhi glanced at him suspiciously, then a flash of inspiration struck her:
"Oh right, how could I forget about you, the CEO!"
"Fu Jue, you're amazing! You solved my urgent problem right away."
Tao Zhizhi's anger turned into laughter, and she reached out and shook his arm.
Having received Tao Zhizhi's instructions, Fu Jue called Cen Lin, who was surprised to hear this:
"What! You're saying my men rejected your wife's request to open a shop?!"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you right away. It's not for anything else, but could you please ask your sister-in-law to save me a seat for dinner?"
Cen Lin had a premonition that even the shops located in the resort area would soon be impossible for him to book, just like food delivery.
Having finally managed to secure a spot in the resort, Tao Zhizhi readily agreed, even though it was just for one location.
Cen Lin was quite efficient; soon Tao Zhizhi received a call from the resort inviting the Nuanshi Xiaopu (Warm Food Shop) to set up shop there, and they even arranged a good location for her.
Having resolved the issue of attracting tenants, Tao Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief, but she hadn't expected that attracting new tenants to the resort would be much more difficult than she had imagined.
