Jiang Man put down his phone and stared at a bank card on the table. There was a note under the card: Yesterday's accommodation fee and noodles money.

She slowly picked up the card, her eyes gradually becoming complicated. She certainly didn't really think that this was his intention in leaving the card behind...

In fact, this man is not as cold as he looks.

At least, that's what she thought.

As the CEO's luxury car returned to the highway, Lin Ze, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and said, "CEO, we've contacted the owner of that residential complex. He said he has no plans to sell his house."

Su Heng didn't even raise his head, his eyes still fixed on the computer screen. He said in a cold voice, "Twice the price. Tell him that if he doesn't sell it, I will burn the place down tomorrow. The compensation he gets will never be higher than this price."

"Okay, Mr. Su." Lin Ze nodded.

After much deliberation, Jiang Man finally decided not to use a single cent from Su Heng's card.

She decided to try to contact the landlord one last time. If the landlord still insisted on her moving out, then she would have no choice but to take Xuanxuan to stay in a youth hostel. A bed costing only a few dozen yuan a night would be enough to get by for a few days.

Alas, it’s a pity for the child.

But when she called the landlord, he happily told her that the house had been sold and that if she had any questions she should contact the new landlord and that he had nothing to do with her anymore!

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment. The house was actually sold?

She wanted to ask for the new landlord's contact information, but the other party hung up the phone in a hurry. When she called again, she only heard a busy tone.

Jiang Man put down his phone, looked around, and wondered who would be willing to buy such an old house at a high price?

She frowned and thought for a long time before finally deciding to restore the room to its original state. As for the rent issue, the new landlord would contact her sooner or later, and it wouldn't be too late to discuss it with him then. She hoped the new landlord would be more reasonable than the previous one.

After a busy morning of packing, Jiang Man rushed to the company in the afternoon. Xiao Zhao started to play around as soon as he saw her.

"Oh, my little Manman, where have you been? I miss you so much!"

Jiang Man carefully protected his cheeks and smiled, "There are some trivial matters at home."

"Haha, you've only been working for a few days, and you've already got so much trouble. Be careful or the smiling tiger will make things difficult for you!"

Colleagues privately call Manager Jiang a smiling tiger. He always has a smiling face no matter what the situation is, but he will turn around and impose penalties and demerits.

"I'll go find the manager to apply for leave later." Jiang Man turned on the computer, tidied up his desk, and then got up and went to the manager's office.

After knocking on the door and entering, Manager Jiang was meeting a guest. She quickly said, "Manager Jiang, if you are busy, I will come back later."

When he heard the voice, the man who was sitting with his back to her trembled slightly.

In just a few seconds, everything returned to normal.

Manager Jiang nodded and suddenly called her, "Jiang Man, here's a contract. Go to Dayue Group later and hand it to Manager Li in person."

"Ok."

Jiang Man walked over and took the contract. As he turned around, he casually glanced at the man sitting opposite him.

Because he was facing sideways and his hand was against his forehead, she couldn't see clearly. She could only vaguely see that he was wearing a black diamond earring on his left ear.

Jiang Man didn't look at it any further and left with the contract.

Manager Jiang immediately smiled and said, "Boss Ji, let's continue."

&&&&

Jiang Man returned to his workstation, said hello to Xiao Zhao, and left the company with the contract.

When I walked to the company door, a white Continental came into view.

She stopped and felt that the car looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before...

Unwilling to waste time on meaningless questions, Jiang Man walked around the car, stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and rushed to Dayue Group.

Unexpectedly, after arriving at Dayue Group, Jiang Man was told that Manager Li was holding a department meeting. He could only sit down and wait patiently. However, this wait lasted until the end of the working day. The employees in the company had left one after another, but Manager Li was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Man looked at her watch, feeling a little anxious. She called Aunt Yang and said, "Aunt Yang, I haven't finished my work yet. Xuanxuan will trouble you first."

Aunt Yang agreed readily, and Jiang Man felt relieved.

Su Heng left the company and got into his black presidential car. Lin Ze turned around and said, "Boss Su, we have a dinner with the leaders of Bureau X at 8pm. Would you like to eat something now?"

Su Heng's eyes were still focused on the computer, and he said "hmm".

Lin Ze immediately said to the driver, "Go to Fu Ji."

Since it was a dinner party, drinking and chatting were inevitable. Su Heng was used to drinking some porridge before that, which not only avoided drinking on an empty stomach but also nourished his stomach.

The fingers tapping on the keyboard suddenly stopped.

What he wanted to eat more than Fu Ji's porridge was actually a simple bowl of noodles...

"Not going there." He said calmly.

Lin Ze asked in surprise: "Where do you want to eat?"

&&&&

The black President No. 1 slowly stopped at the entrance of the crowded alley.

Because it was rush hour, the huge car had difficulty getting in. Lin Ze said embarrassedly: "Mr. Su, the car can't get in."

Su Heng looked up and closed his laptop. "Wait here." After that, he pushed the door open and got out of the car.

He walked through the narrow alley and into the residential complex, where the courtyard was bustling with activity.

There are aunties sitting on small benches picking vegetables and chatting together, there are uncles playing chess while waiting for dinner, and several children chasing and playing with each other... At this moment when thousands of lights are on, it seems that all the loneliness in the world has been dispelled.

Su Heng is tall and has an extraordinary temperament. Wherever he goes, he attracts everyone's attention, and people often whisper to each other about him.

He walked straight into the building without looking around and got on the elevator that made a rumbling sound.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, a small figure squeezed in.

Su Heng lowered his head and glanced at the little guy standing next to him. He was a very handsome little boy. If his hair was longer, he might have mistaken him for a little girl.

Xuanxuan raised his head and looked at the man beside him who was as tall as a tree. He then looked at the elevator number keys and said in an extremely polite tone, "Uncle, can you help me press the elevator button? I'm not big enough yet and can't reach it."

Su Heng's expression remained indifferent, but he raised his hand, "How many floors?"

"Floor 9, thank you."

He was slightly startled, then pressed the number 9 and the elevator slowly rose.

Xuanxuan asked curiously, "Uncle, which floor are you going to?"

Su Heng looked down at him again and replied briefly, "9th floor."

Xuanxuan nodded repeatedly, "Same as me!"

I don't know which naughty child was playing tricks, but the elevator stopped at every floor, and the doors were open, but there was no one inside.
