Chapter Nine Interlude
at night
Gongyuan No. 6
After Guan Peng worked hard, his IQ returned to a high level.
"You are so good today, do you have anything to ask me for?"
Seeing the crisis, Charlene was extremely well-behaved tonight and even spontaneously unlocked new postures.
"I don't want to live in the dormitory anymore. I want to move out." Knowing that the man in front of her didn't like her coquettishness, Charlene said bluntly.
"Okay, then you can live here from now on. You have the key anyway."
Guan Peng readily agreed regardless of Xia Lin's mental journey.
"It's too far here. I want to move near the school."
The heating was on in the room, and Charlene was not afraid of the cold. She put on a bathrobe and got up to help Guan Peng get a glass of red wine.
"Near the school?"
Guan Peng was a little hesitant, not for any other reason than because he was afraid of having his house stolen.
"No way?"
"Of course. I happen to have two sets of well-decorated commercial houses near your school. I will take you there to have a look tomorrow."
Wu Yannong said that Guan Peng had never seen Xia Lin look like this before, so he felt soft and agreed.
"It's so kind of you…"
Before Xia Lin finished speaking, she was hugged by Guan Peng again, and everything that followed was unspeakable.

Jade Mansion
It is only a few minutes' walk from the Institute of Fashion Technology. After the first investment was paid back, Guan Peng bought 10 apartments here; excluding those given to company employees to live for free, there are still two apartments left, and the one in front of him is 1306, one of them.
.
"The house is a bit small, but it's still OK for one person to live in. If you're not satisfied, I'll help you change it."
Guan Peng also has many properties nearby.
In 2005, even the pickiest experts and professors still mentioned in lectures many years later that this was the best time to buy a house, not to mention this was in Yanjing.
The usable area is 138 square meters, with one kitchen, one living room, two bathrooms, plus one bedroom, and the rooms are all very spacious.
The main tone is white, paired with silver chandeliers with a heavier classical flavor, making the living room full of luxury;
The kitchen is open and equipped with range hoods, microwaves, ovens, refrigerators and other household appliances.
The bathroom is spacious, bright, airy and breathable; there is a large bathtub in the bathroom, which makes Charlene fantasize about it.
There is a dressing room separated from the bedroom, with a gold-bronze-rimmed mirror full of British classical style, emphasizing the style of Grimm's fairy tales; pillows in red as the main color are used to embellish the entire white space, adding to the warmth of the room.
The balcony of the house was particularly large, with a birdcage-style wooden swing installed and a coffee table; a pleasant image of sitting on the swing, reading a book, sipping tea, and eating cakes on an autumn afternoon came to Charlene's mind.
“It’s good, let’s go here”
Charlene is very satisfied with the residence in front of her.
"As long as you like it, I'll transfer you some money later; if you think about it again, buy it if you still need it. Think of it as a way to make up for yesterday's birthday gift.
Also, don’t move your belongings from your original dormitory, I don’t have time, and it’s inconvenient for you to be alone.”
Guan Peng suggested.
"oh"
Charlene understood that even though she was her girlfriend, she was getting further and further away from being kept. She didn't dare to resist, and she didn't want to resist.
"By the way, housekeepers come to clean this house every morning, so you don't have to worry about it yourself; don't be afraid when they come, they are all from regular companies."
Before leaving, Guan Peng warned.
"Well, I understand; will you be busy in the next few days?"
Charlene's words have meaning. Are you going to stop coming to me for a while?
"Okay, I'll come see you when I'm free; study hard, and when you graduate, I'll help you open a clothing design company."
Guan Peng made a promise. He wanted the woman in front of him to have something to do when he was not around.
"Okay, I will definitely study hard."
To be honest, in just six months, it is difficult for Guan Peng to see the shadow of the TV series in the current Xia Lin; but yes, power can change human nature, and so can money.

Borderless Investment Bank
Guan Peng was processing documents when secretary Qin Bing knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Guan, someone from the Procuratorate is looking for you."
"From the prosecutor's office? Let him in."
Guan Peng was a little confused when he heard it was from the Procuratorate, but he believed that he had not committed any crime and had nothing to be afraid of.
"How did you come?"
"Can't I find you?"
The person who came was none other than Zhong Xiaoai.
"You are a rare visitor. You can sit by yourself. What would you like to drink?"
Although there was a joke yesterday, the visitor was a guest and a beautiful woman, so Guan Peng greeted her in a very graceful manner.
"Tea Bar, it's really hard to get in here. You still have to make an appointment. If I don't reveal my identity, your secretary won't let me in."
Zhong Xiaoai didn't show up either, sitting on the sofa and complaining.
"The main reason is that there have been too many unscrupulous people coming recently. I ordered them."
Guan Peng said after personally helping Zhong Xiaoai get a cup of tea.
"No, not necessarily; I heard that the people who come to see you are either rich or noble."
Zhong Xiaoai said half-sarcastically.
"You know a lot, go back and investigate me; come, eat some fruit, it just arrived on the plane this morning, it's quite fresh."
Qin Bing was very discerning and knew that the procuratorate in front of him had an unusual relationship with the boss; he brought in a basket of washed cherries and a plate of cut black watermelon.
"You are trying to corrupt me, are you still obsessed with me?"
This was 2005. Although the Zhong family was a high-ranking family, they were not so luxurious as to eat fruits shipped by air.
"Eat some fruit, what about that? Yesterday I had a violent incident and was scolded by my uncle when I went back."
"Thank you for what happened yesterday..."
Zhong Xiaoai still knows what is good and what is good.
"It's okay, I'll just tell the truth. By the way, what do you want from me today?"
Guan Peng is not so narcissistic that he thinks Zhong Xiaoai is attracted to him.
"It's not you yet. I brought so many things yesterday. My mother asked me to send them back to you."
As soon as she mentioned this, Zhong Xiaoai became angry, and she even asked for half a day off because of this nonsense.
"Are you kidding me? There's no such thing as this. Didn't Aunt Zhang already say that she was a guest at your house yesterday and brought some gifts?"
Guan Peng pretended to be angry.
"I don't care about this. I've left it all for you. If you don't take it back, I'll send it directly to the Discipline Inspection Commission. Just these things are enough to sentence you."
Zhong Xiaoai is a tough guy.
"Okay, I'll count on you."
Accustomed to being a little birdy, Guan Peng is even more glad that he is not dating Zhong Xiaoai.
"Well, this watermelon is pretty good." Seeing Guan Peng give up, Zhong Xiaoai was very proud and picked up a piece of watermelon and tasted it.
"How about it? It's not bad. I'll bring some to your parents when I leave."
"You think so well, but don't you think my parents misunderstood us deeply enough?"
Guan Peng was polite, but was scolded in the end. This time he really didn't want to pay attention to the aunt in front of him.
"I'm leaving. It's better to miss each other when we see each other in the future."
No girl hates being liked by a good man, and so does Zhong Xiaoai.
After thinking about it last night, she also thought that Guan Peng came to visit because he liked her. Unfortunately, it was Hou Liangping who she met first. The moment she turned to leave, she suddenly felt a little dazed, so she said this.
"Wait a minute, take that old wild ginseng away. I heard that Uncle Zhong was in poor health, so I asked someone to get it."
Maybe it's because of this saying that it's better to miss each other than to meet each other, Guan Peng is being mean again.
"you?"
"How about you send it to the Discipline Inspection Commission? Anyway, I don't think they will punish me for this."
Guan Peng replied.
"Thank you then"
