Chapter 236 - 235: Moving to a New Home

The young woman’s cheeks instantly flushed red. Biting her lip, she said, "Sister Wang, don’t talk nonsense! I’ve never seduced a client. They were the ones who tried to take advantage of me. When I refused, they turned around and slandered me!"

"Since you’re not willing to help this client, I’ll take him. I don’t mind a small deal."

Sister Wang sneered. "Fine. Go ahead and show him some places. I’d love to see what kind of property you can possibly rent out."

Yang Xun glanced at the young woman. "You can show me around. Just ignore classless people like her."

"Hey! Who are you calling classless, you little brat?!"

Sister Wang started cursing.

Yang Xun was about to lose his temper, but the young woman pulled him out the door.

"I’m sorry, sir. I don’t want to make a scene. Sister Wang’s family has connections. She’s not someone to mess with. If we keep arguing, there will be trouble."

The young woman looked nervous, afraid that Yang Xun might start yelling at her.

"You meant well, but the more you tolerate it, the more she’ll take advantage of you," Yang Xun said.

"I know, but I really can’t afford to offend her. I’m just a nobody, and I really need this job."

As she spoke, her eyes started to redden.

"I’m sorry, sir. Let me show you the property listings first. If there’s a specific complex you like, you can tell me, and I’ll take you to see it."

She sniffled and quickly composed herself.

Yang Xun glanced down at the information jotted in her notebook and pointed directly at the name of a residential complex.

"Jinfu Orchid Garden? You want to rent a place here?"

The young woman was clearly stunned for a moment, finding it hard to believe.

"What? You don’t think I can afford it?"

Yang Xun smiled. He knew the young woman wasn’t looking down on him.

It was just that Jinfu Orchid Garden was a rather expensive complex in Zhonghai City—the Xu Family Villa was located there—and his current attire didn’t make him look like someone who could afford to rent a place there.

"No, that’s not it. Since you want to see it, I’ll take you."

The young woman felt uncertain, but she hadn’t closed a deal in a long time. Since she had an opportunity, she had to give it a shot.

A grateful smile appeared on her face. "Of course, sir! Please follow me!"

Over the next two hours, the young woman showed Yang Xun five or six properties.

They were either in a poor location or had a bad layout; not a single one satisfied Yang Xun.

The light in the young woman’s eyes gradually dimmed, and she looked completely dejected.

When they got to the last property, she led Yang Xun into a small villa. Yang Xun took a look around and was very satisfied.

But before he could say anything, the young woman’s eyes suddenly reddened.

"Sir... I..."

She bit her lip as if mustering up immense courage. "I have a favor to ask you."

Yang Xun paused, frowning slightly. "Go on."

"I... My performance this month has been terrible... My team leader has been targeting me. If I can’t close a single deal this month, I’ll be fired."

"My mom is sick, and I really need this job... I know this is an outrageous request."

She lowered her head, her voice growing smaller and smaller. "If you’re willing to sign for this house... I’m willing... willing to spend a night with you..."

Yang Xun looked at her flushed face, full of shame and struggle, and suddenly felt a knot in his stomach.

"You don’t have to do this. If I agreed, you’d choose this method every time you wanted to close a deal in the future."

He reached out and patted her on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "I’ll rent this house. Twenty thousand a month, for a two-year lease. Just process the deal normally."

The young woman shot her head up, her eyes wide. "Really?!"

"Really."

"Thank you! Thank you so much, sir!!"

The young woman was so excited that tears streamed down her face as she bowed repeatedly.

Yang Xun smiled. "Alright, let’s hurry back and sign the contract."

Back at the real estate agency, the middle-aged woman saw the two-year lease agreement and was completely dumbfounded.

"Twenty thousand a month?! For two years?!"

She stared wide-eyed at Yang Xun, then at the excited young woman beside him. Her lips trembled for a long moment before she managed to squeeze out, "You... why didn’t you say you wanted to rent a villa sooner?!"

Yang Xun glanced at her. "You never asked."

The middle-aged woman’s face alternated between pale and flushed. A few colleagues nearby secretly covered their mouths to stifle their laughter.

When the young woman walked Yang Xun out after signing the contract, she was absolutely glowing, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Sir! Thank you so, so much! You’ve helped me tremendously!"

"Just work hard from now on."

Yang Xun waved his hand dismissively. "Don’t let yourself down."

After saying that, he got on his little electric scooter and headed toward Xiaoxie Village.

When he returned to the courtyard, Yang Cai and the others had almost finished packing. Several large boxes were piled in the center of the yard.

"Bro! You’re back! Did you find a house?"

Yang Cai bounced over to greet him.

"I did. I rented a small villa in a great neighborhood."

Yang Xun said with a smile, "Come on, the moving company will be here soon."

Mi Ting and Chen Xiafang also came out, expectant smiles on their faces.

The move went much more smoothly than expected. The moving company was fast, getting everything into the new house in less than two hours.

Yang Cai excitedly ran up and down the stairs, constantly exclaiming, "It’s so big!" and "It’s so pretty!"

Mi Ting and Chen Xiafang were busy tidying up the rooms, and Yang Xun lent a hand.

Once everything was settled, Mi Ting waited until Yang Cai wasn’t looking and quietly pulled Yang Xun into the bathroom.

"What’s up?"

"Less talk, more helping. Hurry up and get me some."

Mi Ting’s cheeks were slightly red, but her tone was unapologetic. "Cai Cai has been bugging me for more of that ’beauty milk’ again. I can’t do anything about it, so hurry up."

"You need more?"

Yang Xun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Didn’t you get some for her before?"

"We used it all up! Hurry, before she finds out."

Mi Ting urged him on, reaching out to pull at his pants.

Yang Xun sighed helplessly and complied.

The bathroom door was shut tight. The sound of SPLASHING water covered up the ambiguous noises from inside.

Chen Xiafang, who was tidying up the living room, heard the commotion from the bathroom. She knew exactly what was going on, but just shook her head with a smile and continued organizing the rooms with Yang Cai.

Over an hour later, Mi Ting and Yang Xun came out of the bathroom one after the other.

Mi Ting was clutching a small bottle in her hand, her cheeks flushed and her eyes darting around evasively.

Chen Xiafang pretended not to have seen anything and called everyone over to eat some fruit.

Watching this scene, a warm feeling welled up inside Yang Xun.

Afterwards, the four of them went to the supermarket to buy groceries and cooked their first meal in the villa. Everyone ate with great satisfaction.

In the evening, Yang Xun returned to the Xu Family Villa.

Xu Yue was in the living room on her laptop. When she saw him return, she put it down and asked, "How come you’re back so early today?"

"I was moving with Xiaocai."

Xu Yue paused, confused. "Moving? Where did you move to?"
