If she continues to stay here, the money she earned for the original owner will be drained away sooner or later.

The next day, while Xie Shizhu was at work, she casually asked the person in charge if there was a suitable house nearby. The person in charge said he would help her look for one.
An hour later, Jiang Yuhuai found out about this.
Xie Shizhu was sitting in the lounge drinking water. The door opened from the outside. She subconsciously looked towards the door and saw Jiang Yuhuai walking towards her slowly.
She stood up hurriedly, and Jiang Yuhuai sat down, "Sit down."
Xie Shizhu sat up straight as he was supposed to, his back was straight, his legs together, and his hands on his knees, looking like a model student.
Jiang Yuhuai's eyes flashed with teasing, and he asked, "Are you scared of seeing me?"
Xie Shizhu nodded without denying it, pursing his lips slightly nervously.
Jiang Yuhuai knew who he was. He had been through so many years and could tell at a glance that Xie Shizhu was hiding something from her, and she almost had the word "guilty" written on her face.
Even simpler than those rich kids, at least they can hide their emotions.
Jiang Yuhuai asked, "I've never seen you act like this before. Did you do something bad behind my back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu shook his head and nodded, and then nodded in acknowledgment.
Jiang Yuhuai closed his eyes slightly, "What's the matter?"
Xie Shizhu stammered, "It was yesterday... a hairless man gave me some wine to drink, and Chi Ze helped me. But after he finished drinking, he ran away with the cup in a hurry. You can deduct it from my salary. I wanted to chase him, but Chi Ze stopped me..."
"..." Jiang Yuhuai thought it was a big deal. After hearing this, his thin eyelids twitched and he was silent for a long time. "Okay, I'll deduct it from your salary."
Then, he curled the corners of his lips into a playful arc, looked at Xie Shizhu's expression, and found the key point from her words.
The bald man he saw yesterday must have had a purpose. As for the person behind it, Jiang Yuhuai could naturally guess it, but Xie Shizhu was not yet important enough for him to help him deal with Zhou Yuan.
Jiang Yuhuai would not do something that would bring no benefits but only losses.
Xie Shizhu asked cautiously, "Is it expensive?"
“It’s not expensive, just a few hundred dollars.”
Xie Shizhu seemed frightened by the price and took a breath.
She complained in her heart: She can buy two for ten yuan in the wholesale market. Jiang Yuhuai is such a profiteer!
Xie Shizhu pursed his lips and nodded as if accepting it.
Jiang Yuhuai raised his eyebrows frivolously. Her aggrieved and pitiful expression made him happy, and he immediately put the key in his hand on the table.
"I heard you're going to live outside?" Jiang Yuhuai said, "This is a house nearby. I don't live here."
Xie Shizhu was stunned and said hurriedly, "No, boss, you have been so kind to me. I don't want to accept your support anymore. After all, I have hands and feet."
Jiang Yuhuai's face darkened noticeably, and he stared at her with burning eyes.
If it were Xie Shizhu himself, he would definitely not refuse such a pie-in-the-sky thing.
What a pity, she is now a woman of character.
"Really, no need!" Xie Shizhu picked up the key, grabbed Jiang Yuhuai's wrist, and stuffed the key into his palm. The woman's warm palm touched the back of his hand, then quickly withdrew it, stood up quickly, and said, "I have to go to work."
After saying this, Xie Shizhu walked out in a disorderly manner. Because of her anxiety, she accidentally bumped into the table leg in the room. Although it hurt, she left without stopping.
Looking at the stubborn back, Jiang Yuhuai was not angry, but had a smile on his lips.
Compared to getting something for nothing, this kind of Xie Shizhu made him feel interesting.
It is somewhat similar to him.

Not only did Jiang Yuhuai know that she wanted to rent a house, but two calls also came to Xie Shizhu's cell phone today, both asking her for help.
Zhou Yuerou was within her expectations, but Chi Ze was beyond her expectations.
Unexpectedly, Xie Shizhu could still arouse Chi Ze's sympathy.
This is cause for celebration.
But Xie Shizhu refused them one by one.
After searching around, she found that any house nearby could rent out her salary. Just when Xie Shizhu was feeling depressed, she received a phone call.
After Xie Shizhu picked up the phone, the other party said that he was a real estate agent. He saw that she was looking for a house online, so he took the initiative to recommend a suitable house to her.
The rent and deposit are both too low to meet the market demand.
Xie Shizhu's tone was full of surprise: "Really? Then I'll rent it."
After agreeing on a time, Xie Shizhu hung up the phone. She raised her eyebrows. Haha, is this a trick of transplanting flowers and trees?
Then of course she had to pretend that she knew nothing to satisfy the other party.

The signing procedure went smoothly, and Xie Shizhu reluctantly transferred all his belongings to the other party.
In a private club.
Song Yao was drinking with a beautiful woman in his arms, Jiang Yuhuai was sitting next to him, holding a mobile phone in his slender hands. When he saw a transfer text message from a friend, Jiang Yuhuai raised his eyebrows slightly.
Then the friend sent another message: This woman is average looking, and her clothes are so unpleasant that even my mom would dislike her. Is this worth all the effort you put into pursuing her? With your looks, Jiang Yuhuai, you can't even win over a woman?
Jiang Yuhuai typed and sent it over: Not pursuing her.
His friend quickly replied: ...Do you think I believe it?
He kept looking at his phone, which made Song Yao very curious. He stretched his neck to look at his phone, but Jiang Yuhuai noticed it instantly and locked the screen.
Song Yao said, "What are you doing? This is Mr. Cheng's place today, and you've been looking at your phone the whole time. Do you still want to get the land?"
Jiang Yuhuai glanced at him from the corner of his eye: "Drink your wine."
"Speaking of which," Song Yao raised his chin, "look at these men, every one of them has a beautiful woman to accompany them, but you're special. Didn't you see how those beauties pounced on you like wolves seeing meat the moment they saw you? Those CEOs were so envious, but it's a pity that you didn't like any of them."
Jiang Yuhuai pinched his brows and asked, "Are you done?"
"No!" Song Yao kept nagging, "Brother, I've known you for so long, and I've never seen you look at any woman more than once... No, except for Xie Shizhu, damn, this woman has nothing. Are you blind?"
Jiang Yuhuai automatically blocked his words and stood up to chat with other CEOs.
The topic they talked about was nothing more than the business world. One of the CEOs said, "I heard that the heir to the largest chaebol in Country J has advanced stomach cancer. This news has not been released yet."
Another said: "There is also a rumor that the boss has an illegitimate child..."
A hint of coldness flashed across Jiang Yuhuai's eyes. He interrupted them and changed the subject.

Xie Shizhu got the key and moved her things in. Zhou Yuerou contacted her and asked someone to help.
At this time, Xie Shizhu would not refuse. After all, moving by oneself was tiring enough.
She doesn't want to tire herself out.
After moving the things, Xie Shizhu treated Zhou Yuerou to a meal out as a thank you.
Now wherever she goes, Zhou Yuerou follows her.
In the past, the original owner was a follower of the supporting character, but now the roles have been reversed. She, Xie Shizhu, stands at the top of the food chain, and even the heroine is willing to get close to her.
Not to mention cannon fodder? She even disdains the supporting roles.
As for whether Zhou Yuan will become Xie Shizhu in the book or the protagonist in the end, it depends on her ability.
