Chapter 41

In the morning, Song Shu went through the relevant information about the song that He Qianci was going to perform on the stage in her room.

Her rock songs, in addition to some passionate ones, also contain a decadent and dark style.

Song Shu picked up the introduction of one of the songs. This song was about a woman whose husband had died and who was moving around with various men, leading a life of luxury and debauchery. She was passionate and yet heartless, like a rose blooming in rotten mud.

Song Shu looked at the story described in the song and suddenly inspiration struck her. She took out a piece of draft paper and started drawing on it. She didn't stop until she had a rough outline of the design.

Looking at the skirt on paper, she decided to make some changes and then give the design to May's agent to see if He Qianci was satisfied.

Putting down the pen, Song Shu looked at her watch. It was just past ten o'clock. She stretched, got up and walked towards the living room.

＊

I saw Jiahui sitting on the sofa in the living room. The kindergarten was closed today, so she did not go to school.

The little guy was chewing a pineapple bun in his hand, his eyes fixed on the TV, which was playing a cartoon.

Song Shu glanced at it. She had seen this cartoon before. It was "Astro Boy" introduced from Japan.

Chen Zonghao was sitting on another sofa. There were some electronic parts on the table. He was fiddling with a video camera. It was the first time she saw him working.

Song Shu walked over and sat on a sofa with Jiahui.

As soon as she sat down, Jiahui handed her a pineapple bun and said, "Sister, have some."

"Okay." Song Shu took it over, "Is the cartoon good?"

Jiahui nodded. "It looks great. Astro Boy can fly around. It's amazing."

"I think it's amazing too." Song Shu chatted with Jia Hui for a few words, then turned her head to watch the man installing the parts, and couldn't help feeling curious.

The man's hands were very nimble and he was able to assemble the items with ease. In his eyes, the complicated assembly process seemed as simple as assembling a children's toy. Song Shu then remembered that this man majored in electronic information engineering in college.

Although he dropped out of school before graduating, this man was smart and self-taught, otherwise he would not have become a leading boss in the electronics industry.

Song Shu looked at the things he assembled. Although she didn't understand these things, she was from the future after all. She understood the future upgrading of electronic products better than anyone else and had a forward-looking vision. Often the development of some electronic products was always the result of a sudden inspiration.

Sometimes, even though there is technology, the concept is also crucial. Often, an idea is more important than technology.

Song Shu looked at Chen Zonghao and asked casually, "Are you assembling a video camera?"

Chen Zonghao said, "It's a video camera."

"Oh." Song Shu continued to ask with interest: "You are amazing, but does this VCR use magnetic tape to record images?"

Chen Zonghao glanced at her after hearing this. Seeing her curious look, he nodded and gave her a general explanation, "Well, convert the image and sound signals into analog electrical signals and then record them into the tape."

"So that's how it is." Song Shu nodded. She knew that VCRs used analog electrical signals, while VCDs and DVDs, which became popular all over the world in the 1990s, used digital signals. The images they stored were larger than the VCR's memory, the pictures were clearer, more convenient, and the playback was more stable.

Song Shu seemed to complain a little, "No wonder it's so troublesome. Usually when I want to watch a videotape, the picture is not very clear, and I have to keep changing the tape to finish a movie. Do you think there is any other device with larger storage capacity so that I can watch a whole movie on one disc?"

Chen Zonghao paused while assembling the machine. "Not at the moment."

Song Shu glanced at him, as if she was determined to get to the bottom of it. "Why? Is it because it uses analog electrical signals?"

Chen Zonghao's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and he looked thoughtful. Song Shu continued, "What if we change the input signal?"

Chen Zonghao looked up at her and raised his eyebrows, "What signal?"

"Ahem." Song Shu coughed. "How should I know? I just think that if this method is very troublesome, maybe another method might achieve unexpected results. For example, counting with numbers is more convenient than the previous hemp rope knot counting."

Chen Zonghao seemed to be thinking about something after listening to this. Seeing his expression, Song Shu didn't say anything more. After all, she didn't know much about how DVDs were made. She only vaguely knew the principle.

＊

At this moment, Rong Xiaohua appeared at the door and said excitedly, "Sister Shu, someone is here to see you. It's the rich man mentioned in the news."

After hearing this, Song Shu looked at Chen Zonghao and stood up. "It should be Mr. Xu Changlong's family."

Chen Zonghao also stood up and followed her, "Please invite them to the back room." After all, the back room could accommodate more people.

Song Shu nodded and walked out to see Ms. Fang Yun and her family standing in the store. She was holding her son's hand, while the famous Mr. Xu Changlong was carrying a lot of things in his hands.

Song Shu walked over, "Ms. Fang, Mr. Xu."

Fang Yun saw Song Shu and smiled, "Miss Song, sorry to bother you."

Song Shu shook her head. "Don't bother me. We just happen to have nothing to do this morning. Come in and sit down."

Ms. Fang Yun and the others followed Song Shu to the back room, and Xu Changlong handed over the thank-you gift in his hand, "It's just a small gift."

Song Shu looked at the exquisite gift boxes. The gifts didn't look cheap. "Why did you bring gifts? They are too expensive. We can't accept them."

"Oh, Miss Song, these are not expensive gifts. Some of them are gifts for children." Fang Yun took the gifts, put them on the table, and spoke.

After hearing what she said, Song Shu knew that the other party had specially inquired about the gift and carefully prepared it, and it might be to thank her for her help yesterday. She might not feel at ease if she didn't accept it, so she stopped refusing and pulled Jiahui aside and said, "This is my niece Jiahui. Jiahui, call me aunt uncle."

Jiahui climbed down from the sofa when Fang Yun and the others came in, and followed Song Shu. When she heard what Song Shu said, she raised her head obediently, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

Fang Yun looked down and saw such a cute little girl, and the smile on her face became even brighter, "Hello."

She gave birth to a son at the age of 35, but she had always wanted a little girl. However, her body did not allow her to have another child, so she had to give up with regret. However, she has always liked little girls.

So she was very enthusiastic to see such a lovely little girl. She took out the gift she bought, a set of exquisite Barbie dolls, and said, "Come, Jiahui, this is a gift from auntie for you."

Jiahui looked at the gift but didn't take it. Instead, she looked up at Song Shu. Song Shu touched her head and said, "Take it. Thank you, Auntie."

Jiahui took it and said obediently, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Hey." Fang Yun was even happier, "Jiahui is really polite."

The child will ask for his parents' permission before accepting gifts, which shows that he has been well brought up.

Fang Yun pulled her son over and said, "Ming Zai, go say hello to Sister Jia Hui."

Xu Youming looked much better than yesterday. He went to the hospital for a checkup and found no other problems. He had regained his former spirit. After listening to his mother's words, he looked at the little sister in front of him. The round eyes were cuter than the Barbie doll his mother bought. "Sister Jiahui."

Jiahui also called out obediently, "Brother."

The more Xu Ming looked at her, the cuter she seemed to him. He couldn't help but reach out his hand to invite her, "Sister Jiahui, let's go over there and take apart the Barbie doll."

Song Shu laid a small carpet in the corner of the living room, which was usually where Jiahui played.

Jiahui thought for a moment and then took his hand to the carpet, and the two little guys sat on the carpet and started playing.

＊

Seeing the two children playing by themselves, Song Shu invited Fang Yun and her husband to sit on the sofa, while Song Shu and Chen Zonghao sat on another sofa.

Chen Zonghao made a pot of tea, and Song Shu poured two cups of tea and handed them to them, "Drink tea first, the room is a little small."

"No, the house looks very warm." Fang Yun said after looking around the house. She was speaking the truth. Although the house looked small, the furnishings inside were neatly organized and warm, such as the table covered with floral cloth and the vase on the table with yellow and pink flowers.

Although the house is small, it is full of warmth and has a lively atmosphere. Unlike her house which is big but empty and lifeless.

Fang Yun took the tea, which had a few flowers floating on it. She took a sip and tasted a faint fragrance. Her eyes lit up, "What kind of flower tea is this? It tastes great."

Seeing that she liked it, Song Shu smiled and said, "Just put some dried roses and jasmine flowers..."

Song Shu took a sip of tea and asked, "Did you go to the hospital to check on your child yesterday? What happened?"

Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she said this. "The doctor checked and it's nothing serious. He said it was a timely rescue. I still want to thank Miss Song for saving Mingzi in time."

"I'm glad you're okay." Song Shu also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were no other sequelae. Sometimes, even if a person is rescued, the brain will be damaged if the person is deprived of oxygen for too long.

Fang Yun suddenly thought of something and said, "I didn't expect Miss Song to be a fashion designer. I was wondering why she sounded so familiar. It turns out that I've heard of Miss Song from Youyi before. I guess we are destined to be together."

"No, I'm just a small designer." Song Shu said modestly.

Fang Yun waved her hand, "Excuse me, Miss Song."

Song Shu and Fang Yun chatted for a while, and then Xu Changlong said, "I heard that Miss Song and Ms. Du's daughter opened a clothing factory together. I have a clothing factory here. If Miss Song wants to open a clothing factory of her own, I can sell it to you along with the factory."

He said he was selling it, but actually he was planning to sell it to her at a low price as a gift to repay her kindness.

Song Shu was moved for a second after hearing his words, then shook her head, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, but no, I don't plan to open another clothing factory in Hong Kong. The clothing factory that I opened with Ms. Du is enough here. I plan to open a factory in mainland China in the future."

It is enough to have one clothing factory in Hong Kong. On the one hand, many factories in Hong Kong have moved to the mainland, and opening another one would be a waste. On the other hand, with the reform and opening up of the mainland, it is more advantageous to open a factory in the mainland.

Xu Changlong was approving after hearing what Song Shu said. She thought her decision was correct. With the development of policies, it would be a better idea to open a factory in mainland China.

Xu Changlong no longer insisted, "If Miss Song has any problems opening a factory in China, you can consult me."

He also has factories and offices in mainland China and has connections, so he is familiar with this area.

Song Shu nodded, but did not reject his suggestion. It would be much more convenient to have someone to help. "Thank you, Mr. Xu. If I have any problem, I will not hesitate to ask Mr. Xu for help."

Xu Changlong nodded, and when he looked up and saw the half-assembled VCR that Chen Zonghao had placed on the TV cabinet, he thought to himself, "Did you assemble this VCR yourself?"

Song Shu followed his gaze and said, "My husband assembled it. He majored in electronic information engineering in college and knows a few tricks."

Xu Changlong nodded, but in his heart he didn't think that this was just some small knowledge. He looked at Chen Zonghao and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be an electronics major. That's amazing. The electronic information industry is an emerging industry now."

He had previously invested in real estate and also followed the news and developments in other industries in society. After research, he discovered that the electronic information industry would become an increasingly important industry in the future. However, he had never been involved in this area and was hesitant to enter the market.

Chen Zonghao put his hands on his legs and said, "I'm not that great. I didn't finish college and I usually just play around."

Xu Changlong raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Even under his gaze, he did not show any cowardice. Moreover, after two encounters, according to his judgment, this man was not an ordinary person.

Song Shu was drinking tea and was almost choked by what Chen Zonghao said. Although this man was telling the truth, he didn't want to be so honest.

Xu Changlong became more interested in him after hearing this and said, "Mr. Chen, if you need investment or help, you can come to me."

Before coming, he had thoroughly investigated Song Shu's family. After all, businessmen would thoroughly investigate even their benefactors, leaving no hidden dangers. And people of their status only needed to investigate, and they could investigate almost everything clearly.

Therefore, he knew almost everything about Chen Zonghao. He admired his handling of certain things, but lions could be easily crushed to death by other small animals before they grew strong.

If he wants to leave the society on his own now, it is impossible without paying a price.

However, Xu Changlong did not mind helping the top leader. On the one hand, it was to repay the kindness of the couple, and on the other hand, it was because they had high hopes for him. He always had a sharp eye.

Chen Zonghao's heart moved after hearing this, he looked at him and understood what he meant. If it was before, he would have directly refused and solved the problem himself, although it might cost him some price. But now, Chen Zonghao glanced at the woman sitting next to him, and he didn't want to have any second thoughts.

He nodded and said seriously, "If you need anything, I'll trouble you, Mr. Xu."

"No trouble."

＊

After chatting for a while, Fang Yun and her family said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Fang Yun held Song Shu's hand and said enthusiastically, "Shu, please come to my house when you have time, and bring Jiahui with you."

When chatting with her just now, Fang Yun felt that she got along better and better with her. At first, she just felt grateful to her, but now it was like she had found a close friend. Although she was ten or twenty years older than Song Shu, there was no generation gap between them.

Song Shu agreed, "Sister Yun, I will visit your house when I have time."

Fang Yun asked Song Shu to change her address to Sister Yun, and Song Shu followed her lead.

"Okay, it's a deal." Fang Yun nodded happily.

But before leaving, Ming was so tired from playing that he didn’t want to leave. He pulled his mother’s hand and said coquettishly, “Mommy, don’t go yet. I want to play with my sister Jiahui.”

Before, my mom always said that little girls are cute, but Mingzai didn’t think so. In the kindergarten he attended, the children were all bossy and spoiled, and no one would give in to anyone else. Therefore, he didn’t think little girls were cute.

But today, when I played with Jiahui, I found that the little sister was extremely cute. When she encountered a problem she didn’t know the answer to, she would softly ask him, “Mingming…”

In the end, he was still praised. Mingzai had never been praised before, so he became very proud because of Jiahui's constant praise.

Fang Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she pulled her son and said, "Why, you still don't want to go home? This is strange, you never act like this when I go to other kids' houses to play."

Mingzai thought about it seriously after hearing her words, "Mommy, can I stay at Jiahui's house instead of going home?"

Fang Yun rolled her eyes at him speechlessly and said, "You wish for it."

Then he said to Song Shu: "Let's go then. If we don't leave now, this guy might not come back."

Song Shu smiled and said to Mingzai, "Mingzai can come and play with sister Jiahui next time."

Mingzai looked at this beautiful sister. He was the one who saved her yesterday. He was somewhat dependent on her. He also knew that she was Jiahui's favorite sister. So he said obediently, "Okay, I'll come and play next time."

"Sister Jiahui, bye."

"Brother Ming, bye."

Song Shu and the other two sent Fang Yun and her family to the store entrance and watched them get in the car before walking back into the store.

Seeing Song Shu coming in, Rong Xiaohua, who was sitting at the cashier counter, asked curiously, "Sister Shu, is this the boy and his family you rescued yesterday?"

Song Shu nodded, "Yes."

"Wow." Rong Xiaohua said excitedly, "That's Xu Changlong. I heard he's worth 10 billion."

Song Shu nodded her head in amusement, "Watch the shop carefully and wait for Xiaohua to make hundreds of millions for me."

Rong Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and said, "Sister Shu, you are really making things difficult for me."

Song Shu smiled and walked to the back room.

＊

When Song Shu walked in, she saw Jiahui, who might have fallen asleep on the carpet because she was tired from playing, and Chen Zonghao was bending over to pick her up.

Song Shu walked over and said, "Take her back to the room and let her sleep."

"Yeah." Chen Zonghao walked into Song Shu's room holding the little one, bent down to put Jiahui on the bed, and then covered her belly with a quilt.

Song Shu followed behind him and watched his series of actions, thinking that this man would be able to take care of children easily when he had them in the future.

Chen Zonghao stood up and turned around to see the woman standing behind him, "What's wrong?"

Song Shu put aside the thought in her mind and thought about the conversation between him and Mr. Xu just now. She couldn't help but ask, "Well, what are your plans in the future?"

Although it was not stated explicitly, both of them knew it well. The novel also did not say how Chen Zonghao left the society, but he must have paid a heavy price.

Song Shu was a little worried for a moment. She was just an ordinary person who just wanted a stable life.

Seeing her frowning and worried look, Chen Zonghao raised his lips and touched her head. "Don't worry, I have a way."

Song Shu knew that he had a way. If she had just traveled through time, she would naturally not worry about him. But now they have lived together for more than two months, and he has helped her so much. It would be cold-blooded if he didn't worry at all.

Song Shu thought so in her heart and attributed her worries to this, but she also had a vague feeling in her heart that your worries were not just based on this, but also contained something else.

Song Shu put aside all the chaotic thoughts in her mind. Since he said it was okay, she believed him.

The two of them walked out of the room and closed the door so as not to disturb Jiahui from her nap.

Chen Zonghao picked up the teacup on the table and went to the kitchen to wash it. Song Shu also helped to take it to the kitchen.

Water flowed from the faucet. Chen Zonghao washed one and handed it to Song Shu, who took it and put it away.

The two of them washed one cup at a time and put it away. In just a few minutes, all the cups were clean.

Song Shu put the cup down and turned around, but the man was walking towards her. The kitchen was small, and Song Shu bumped into him.

"It hurts." Song Shu's nose accidentally hit his chest. She felt his chest was so hard that her nose was almost broken.

Chen Zonghao didn't expect that she bumped into someone just when she turned around. He looked down and saw her covering her nose with tears in her eyes. Hearing her screaming in pain, he immediately reached out nervously to take her hand away and checked her nose, which was red from being bumped. "Does it hurt? Do you want to see a doctor?"

In fact, the pain was only a momentary pain when he was hit, and it was not so painful after a few seconds. Song Shu looked up at his guilty and nervous expression, smiled, and comforted him, "It doesn't hurt anymore, there is no need to see a doctor."

"Do you really not need to see a doctor?" Chen Zonghao was still a little worried. After all, her nose was still red.

"Oh, really, that's not necessary." Song Shu waved her hands, "Don't blame you, blame the kitchen for being too small."

Song Shu was just talking, but she didn't expect the man to nod seriously, "Yes, the kitchen is too small, so let's go buy a room."

"Ah?" Song Shu's face was full of questions. Why did the question suddenly jump to buying a house when it wasn't his?

The man just looked at her seriously and said, "Well, go buy a house, right now."

Song Shu was shocked. "Are you serious? Are you going now?"

Chen Zonghao raised his eyebrows, "Really, you've always wanted to buy a house, and today is the perfect time."

Chen Zonghao pushed her shoulders and led her to the room, "Get your things and go now."

＊

Song Shu hadn't come to her senses until she got on the bus. She leaned against the handrail, looked up at the man in front of her, poked his hand, and muttered, "Is it true or false?"

Chen Zonghao grabbed her hand in his palm with amusement, "What's true or false?"

Song Shu was a little dazed. "I feel like I'm dreaming. It's unreal. Are we going out to buy a house now?"

Chen Zonghao grabbed her hand, pinched her fingers, and said casually: "Why did you dream? Didn't you mention buying a house before? We have enough money."

Song Shu thought it was true, but then she realized he was playing her in circles. "That's true, but we haven't discussed where to buy it yet."

Chen Zonghao looked up at her and asked, "Should the house be large, have a good environment, be convenient, and be comfortable to live in?"

Song Shu nodded, "Yeah, that's probably it."

Chen Zonghao raised his eyebrows, "Then don't worry, there is a new high-end apartment complex being developed in Central. We can go take a look, and if we are not satisfied, we can look somewhere else."

Song Shu had already gotten over the trance period. Now listening to him, she was excited. It was true. Why think so much? They had enough money. They could just go and take a look and buy it if they were satisfied. Fortunately, the man did not say to go and see the villa, otherwise they would not have enough money even if they sold it.

The Central area is prosperous and has a good environment where you can see both the night view and the sea view.

＊

After arriving at the location, Chen Zonghao pulled her out of the car and walked towards a real estate project. Even though it was afternoon, there were still quite a lot of people there. As expected, Hong Kong still has many wealthy people.

When the two walked in, a salesperson came over to greet them warmly.

However, the salesperson looked quite young and immature, a little embarrassed, and seemed to have just started working. "Sir, Madam, are you here to see the house?"

Song Shu held Chen Zonghao's hand, nodded and smiled, "Yes, please take us to see it."

"Okay." The salesperson took them to the first floor sand table, "Our apartment was developed by Xu's Real Estate. Xu's is a long-established real estate company in Hong Kong. The houses they build are of guaranteed quality. In addition, each of our communities is equipped with sufficient security butlers. All entries and exits are registered, and strangers are not allowed in. Safety is guaranteed. The hard and soft furnishings of each suite have been completed, fully in line with international standards, and we are equipped with supporting facilities, kindergartens, hospitals... The most important thing is that our location can see Victoria Harbour..."

While Song Shu was listening to the salesperson's explanation, when she heard Xu's Real Estate, she didn't expect that this property was developed by Mr. Xu. But it was not surprising, after all, Hong Kong was completely monopolized by those real estate tycoons.

Looking at the sand table, the density between the floors is not too high, the greenery is good, and the location is even better. Song Shu was moved when she saw it, and raised her head to ask Chen Zonghao, "What do you think?"

Chen Zonghao nodded, "That's fine, it's up to you to choose."

Song Shu pointed to the building closest to the sea. There was no obstruction in front of that building, and it could completely overlook Victoria Harbor. "How about this house?"

Chen Zonghao looked down and nodded, "Okay, the view is very good."

Song Shu also thought it was a good idea. She could overlook the entire Victoria Harbor in front of her, and take in the bustling night scene of Hong Kong at the back. So she asked the salesperson next to her, "Is there any vacant room in this building?"

The salesperson nodded quickly. "Yes, please wait a moment. I'll check the registration book."

As she spoke, the salesperson hurried to the office. She had only been working for a few days and was not yet able to remember the details of each room as clearly as her predecessors. She also didn't know that it was generally best not to leave a client, because otherwise who knows if the client will still be your client when he comes back.

Fortunately, Song Shu and Chen Zonghao were dressed casually and were too young, so other salespeople thought they were just here to have a look. Since the business opened, many young people like them have come to look at houses, not to buy, but just to look, to encourage themselves to work hard and buy a house.

The salesperson hurried back to the office and got a real estate registration book. When others saw her, they couldn't help but ask, "Jia Jia, why is someone buying a house?"

Before Jia Jia could answer, another salesperson who came in behind her said, "No, I think they are two young people who are just here to look around. Our house is so expensive, how can they afford it?"

After hearing this, the others said a few words to Jia Jia, "Well, Jia Jia, in the future, you just need to tell them about the situation. Be more careful and see which ones are really bought, otherwise it will be a waste of effort."

Jia Jia just smiled and ran out of the office with the file book, "I know."

Song Shu and the others didn't have to wait long before the salesperson came running back and said to them, panting, "There are empty rooms on the 5th, 18th, 36th, 52nd floors of this building, and each floor has two households per elevator, so there won't be too many people living here."

Song Shu didn't want to live that high up, so she asked, "Is there a vacant room on the 36th floor?"

The salesperson nodded. "Yes, both suites on that floor are empty."

Song Shu and Chen Zonghao looked at each other and said to the salesperson, "Then please take us for a tour."

"Okay, no problem." The salesperson nodded and led them out.

Song Shu and Chen Zonghao followed her through the community, then stopped in front of a building, went in and took the elevator up, stopping at the 36th floor.

When they walked out, there was a wide corridor with a suite on each side. The salesperson first showed them a suite, "Each suite is about 2,000 feet. Right in front of this suite is Victoria Harbor, and on the left you can see Victoria Peak..."

Song Shu and the others walked in. The room was bright and spacious, decorated in European style. There was a floor-to-ceiling window as soon as they entered the living room, from which they could overlook Victoria Harbour.

Song Shu walked over and could see several ships passing by the sea below her feet, but she could not hear any sound at all. The sound insulation was very good.

The suite has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and two bathrooms, which can fully meet the needs of a family.

Song Shu walked around and didn't find any problems. The problem might be that the house price is really not cheap, about 10,000 to 20,000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, while other apartments are only 2,000 to 3,000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot. The price difference is ten times, otherwise how can it be called a high-end apartment.

But the current house prices are not the highest. Between 1984 and 1997, Hong Kong house prices almost soared by 20%.

Song Shu was also glad that she bought the house before 1984, otherwise the house price would have skyrocketed by then, and it is unknown how many times it would have increased.

However, if she bought this house, half of her monthly profit from the clothing factory would be gone.

But it is true as they say that housing prices in Hong Kong started to soar in 1984, and 1983 was the best time to buy a good house.

Therefore, Song Shu decided to buy this house without much consideration. She looked up at Chen Zonghao and asked, "How about buying this one?"

Chen Zonghao nodded, "Okay." Then he pulled her to the next set, "Take a look at this set, if you like it, we can buy both."

Song Shu paused and poked his hand, "You really bought the house next to mine?"

Chen Zonghao glanced at her and said, "What do you think?"

Song Shu held his forehead and held him back, "No, you don't have to buy two sets, just one set will be enough."

Chen Zonghao looked at her and asked, "Are you going to support me?"

Song Shu was almost choked and twisted his arm, "What nonsense are you talking about."

Chen Zonghao raised his eyebrows, "You don't need my money. If you pay for me to live with you, wouldn't that be supporting me?"

Song Shu rolled her eyes at him and said in a pretentious manner, "That's not impossible."

Chen Zonghao smiled, then looked at her seriously and said, "It's okay. I was planning to buy a house anyway, and now I can just treat it as an investment."

Song Shu nodded and said, "Okay then."

＊

So when Jia Jia heard Song Shu and the others say they liked both houses and wanted to buy them together, she opened her mouth wide, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. In the end, she pinched herself secretly and stuttered out of nervousness, "Okay, okay, I'll take you to sign the contract now."

Then he took them back to the sales office in a daze, and asked the manager to issue an order in a daze. In an instant, the whole sales office exploded. The other sales staff were extremely jealous and said, "What the hell, tell me it's not true, that Jia Jia has only been here for a few days and she has sold two houses?!"

"That building is the king of buildings. Are young people so rich nowadays?"

"Wake up, we are also young people, and we don't have it."

Others could only watch with envy as the manager took the newcomer Jia Jia to issue invoices.

When signing the contract, the manager saw Song Shu's message and said respectfully, "Ms. Song, it's you."

Song Shu listened to his words and looked at him in confusion. She didn't know this manager. "Is there any problem?"

The manager adjusted his glasses and said, "No problem. It's just that our President Xu has said that if Miss Song and Mr. Chen come to buy a house, we will give you a 50% discount."

The manager and other sales office staff were quite surprised when they received this order, but this was an order given by President Xu himself, so although they were curious, they also secretly took note of it.

Unexpectedly, he would be the one to receive the distinguished guests today, so the manager became even more respectful.

Jia Jia, who was standing next to them, became extremely curious after hearing what the manager said. She didn't expect that these two people knew Mr. Xu. However, although she was curious, they had employee rules and would not ask about customers.

Song Shu looked at Chen Zonghao after hearing this. She didn't expect Mr. Xu Changlong to give such an order. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a phone here? I want to make a call."

The manager nodded, "Of course." He took them to a reception room, and then left the two of them alone.

Song Shu watched them walk out and said to Chen Zonghao, "Mr. Xu is really generous. A 50% discount means you get half the price for free."

Chen Zonghao understood that Song Shu saved their only son. These wealthy people don’t have much else, but they have the most money. “Let’s make a phone call and ask first.”

Song Shu nodded, "Okay."

When Fang Yun and the others left, they left their phone number.

Song Shu walked to the phone, made a call, and when the call was connected, she told him what happened.

Xu Changlong smiled heartily, "Ms. Song, don't refuse. I'm only giving you a 50% discount, not giving it to you as a gift."

Xu Changlong had thought about giving them a house before, but thinking about their character, they would definitely refuse, he did not ask. Instead, he told his employee Song Shu that they could buy a house at a 50% discount. Even if they went to buy a house from other companies, it would only take him a word.

Song Shu spoke into the microphone, "Mr. Xu, but this 50% discount is too much, we can't..."

Before Song Shu finished speaking, Fang Yun answered the phone, "Shu, don't refuse. I wanted to give you a house at first, but my husband said you wouldn't accept it. Well, now it's only 50% off. You know we're in the real estate business, so we won't suffer a loss. And I'm just kidding, Mingzai is worth more than just a few houses. Okay, don't refuse..."

Finally, Song Shu hung up the phone helplessly and said to Chen Zonghao, "Sister Yun and the others asked us to buy it at a 50% discount."

Chen Zonghao said, "Just do as they say. If we don't take it, they might still feel uneasy. This is good for both sides."

Song Shu thought for a while and nodded, "Okay."

In the end, they bought two houses at half the price. When they left the real estate agency, Song Shu was still a little dazed when she saw the two property deeds. She had become a homeowner. She looked up at Chen Zonghao with sparkling eyes and asked, "Is this how we buy a house?"

Chen Zonghao took her hand and walked aside, "Yes, we have a house."

Song Shu couldn't help but smile. Holding the property certificate in her hand, she felt extremely at ease. In this era, she had a house, a house that belonged to her completely and was bought with her own money. Her wandering heart seemed to settle down.

"The house is well decorated, but I would like to make some changes to some places, such as installing a fireplace in the living room so that I can sit there and read in the winter and look at Victoria Harbor when I'm tired. I can also turn one room into a study..."

Chen Zonghao looked down at her with a smile on her face, chattering non-stop, and held her hand even tighter.

When they returned home, Song Shu and Chen Zonghao discussed it and decided not to tell the news to others so quickly. After all, although the house had been renovated and could be moved in at any time, Song Shu still needed to make some changes, so it might take another two or three months before they could move in. It wouldn't be too late to tell Liang's wife and the others when they were ready to move out.

When they got home, Song Shu returned his property certificate to him. Chen Zonghao did not take it and said lazily, "Just keep it with you."

As if it was just a piece of waste paper.

Song Shu glanced at him and said, "Okay," she would help him keep it. Thinking of this, Song Shu planned to go back to the room to put the property certificate away.

When she turned around, Chen Zonghao held her hand and looked at her. Song Shu met his eyes and felt that the man was extremely focused at this moment.

He held her hand and stared at her. Song Shu seemed to slow down her breathing under his burning gaze. "What's wrong?"

Chen Zonghao's Adam's apple slid, "I'll be out for a few days this time."

Song Shu heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, "Oh, I see."

I thought to myself that it was the same the previous times, and every time he went out, he would not come back until several days later.

However, this time the man did not let go of her hand. His eyes seemed to suck her in. He continued, "I'll tell you something when I get back."

After hearing this, Song Shu pinched the property certificate in her hand with her fingers and pretended to be calm, "Oh, I understand."

Chen Zonghao let go of her hand and held it, as if he could hold on to the remaining warmth. "Then I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute." Song Shu thought of something, ran back to the room, took out a small lucky bag, and ran back to hand it to him, "Here, this is the amulet I bought at Wong Tai Sin Temple yesterday, take it."

Chen Zonghao took it. The small lucky bag was made of red fabric and had two words on it: "Peace."

Chen Zonghao rubbed the lucky bag with his fingers, a warm feeling passed through his heart, and he carefully put the lucky bag away, "Let's go."

"Okay." Song Shu looked at his back until he disappeared.

Song Shu sat on the chair in the room for an hour, her heart still pounding. She kept thinking about the man's last words and wondering what he wanted to say to her.

Once she closed her eyes, the man's focused gaze seemed to be right in front of her, burning her.

Song Shu scribbled on the paper with a pen in her hand, unable to concentrate at all. She put down the pen, rubbed her face, and muttered, "It's all Chen Zonghao's fault. He left an ambiguous sentence for people to guess. What on earth did he want to say to me?"
