Quick Wear: Oops, the mission target is crying again

Chapter 1098 Angels Arrive 49

The three of them finished the meal inexplicably yet harmoniously.

The three barely exchanged a few words during the meal. Firstly, Zhong Yanchuan was used to not talking much while eating since childhood, and secondly, lunch had taken too long, so they needed to speed up their meal and get back in time.

Before leaving, he looked at Lingyao, and Lingyao looked at him.

Until Lingyao, under his gaze, took the initiative to say, "Leave your contact information, I'll pay you back later."

Zhong Yanchuan nodded, as if he had been prepared all along. He took out a pen from his pocket, borrowed a notepad from the restaurant, scribbled a number on the paper, and handed it to Ling Yao.

The three parted ways at the door. As he left, Zhong Yanchuan glanced at Ling Yao, who casually stuffed the paper into her pocket.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "If I miss your call, you can come find me here next time. I work here."

This made Lucas, who was standing next to him, feel dazed again.

It's one thing for Zhong Yanchuan to leave his phone number, but now he's even going so far as to suggest that people come to his company entrance to look for him, fearing they might lose the number or forget to call him.

If the partners knew how easy it was to book Zhong Yanchuan's schedule, the streets in front of the company would probably be filled with homeless people who had lost their wallets.

Lingyao watched Zhong Yanchuan walk into the company building.

Before entering the company's glass doors, Zhong Yanchuan turned back and made eye contact with her once more before walking inside, disappearing from sight.

Lingyao first went to find a place to make money.

Fortunately, Lingyao had prepared for this in advance, having already memorized the London lottery numbers from the past few years during her spare time.

She picked two numbers and won a total of 500,000 pounds, instead of choosing to win more, 2 million or 5 million pounds.

After all, winning too much and being too high-profile might cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After winning the lottery, Lingyao went to the address Zhong Yanchuan had given her.

This is Zhong Yanchuan's current residence near the company, a high-end, fully-furnished apartment in a bustling area.

This is a place where high-income, high-salary young people gather in the neighborhood. Lingyao found the rental manager and inquired about available rooms.

They discovered that the house opposite Zhong Yanchuan was empty.

When she inquired about renting the apartment, the property manager said that they couldn't make that decision because although the apartment was currently vacant, it had been bought by a resident on the same floor. If Lingyao wanted to rent the apartment across the street, she might need to contact the landlord.

However, the housekeeper also reminded Lingyao in advance: "This house has excellent natural light, but the owner is wealthy and will most likely not agree to rent it out."

Lingyao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to him." Then she walked over and sat down on the sofa.

The housekeeper, standing nearby, was puzzled. Even if this young lady wanted to communicate with the landlord, shouldn't she ask for his phone number? How was she supposed to communicate with him?

However, Lingyao had already picked up her phone and sent two messages to the newly saved number.

One introduced himself, and the other told Zhong Yanchuan about renting a house.

To prevent Zhong Yanchuan from finding anything strange, he added a further explanation.

"I saw your number at the housekeeper's place and found that it was the same number you had reserved for me. What a coincidence."

Zhong Yanchuan saw this information after the meeting.

He glanced at it for a few seconds, then quickly dialed Lingyao's number.

"Hello, are you still with the housekeeper?"

Lingyao hummed in agreement.

"Could you please hand the phone to the housekeeper? I'll talk to him about it."

Lingyao handed the phone to the housekeeper, saying it was the owner's number. The housekeeper looked at her strangely, and after glancing at the number on the phone and confirming it was indeed the owner's number, he was even more surprised.

How did this young lady manage to find out the gentleman's phone number?

Could it be that she can read minds?

On the other end of the phone, Zhong Yanchuan also inquired with the housekeeper about Lingyao's desire to rent a house.

He hesitated for two seconds before nodding.

"Okay, you can rent it to her at 70% of the market price, and your agency fee will be deducted from the rent."

The housekeeper made arrangements for Lingyao according to Zhong Yanchuan's instructions.

After Lingyao paid, he took the keys and led her to the apartment.

The room is on the 10th floor, with two apartments per floor. The apartment is regularly cleaned, so it remains very clean even if no one has lived there for a long time.

Moreover, these fully furnished apartments are basically move-in ready.

The room also features a minimalist business style.

Lingyao was very satisfied. After seeing the housekeeper off, she waited in her room for Zhong Yanchuan to return.

Incidentally, I added Zhong Yanchuan's social media account through his phone number.

And transferred the money I borrowed that morning, as well as the money for clothes.

Zhong Yanchuan has not accepted the offer.

After a busy day, it was already dark when Zhong Yanchuan finally came out of his office.

Although he has to attend a banquet tomorrow night, Zhong Yanchuan is still busy handling his work.

After finishing these handover tasks and attending the banquet tomorrow, he can finally relax and return home.

But after leaving the office, he suddenly remembered that he had a new neighbor today.

So on my way back, I bought some food from a nearby dessert shop.

By the time I drove home, it was completely dark.

Zhong Yanchuan took the elevator up.

Even though he had ridden in elevators countless times, he didn't know why, but now, as the floor numbers inside the elevator changed, he felt inexplicably tense.

Until the elevator dinged and arrived at the tenth floor.

Zhong Yanchuan took his keys and walked to his own front door, then looked at the tightly closed gate across the street.

I hesitated whether or not to knock on that door.

It's getting late, and it seems rather impolite for a man to knock on a woman's door, but he's already bought the cake, and if he doesn't eat it tonight, he probably won't be able to eat it tomorrow.

If I had known, I shouldn't have bought desserts as a gift that doesn't keep for long.

Zhong Yanchuan was still hesitating and struggling with his decision when the room door suddenly opened.

A man came out from inside.

The boy looked very young, handsome and tall, and nodded politely when he saw Zhong Yanchuan.

Zhong Yanchuan looked through the half-open door at the girl sitting on the sofa inside, who was looking at her resume.

She was dressed in comfortable loungewear, looking relaxed and carefree, while a man was in her home...

Zhong Yanchuan withdrew his gaze, unlocked the door, and after closing the door, he tossed the key aside and slumped onto the sofa next to him.

She raised her hands and rubbed her face, wiping away all the uncontrolled facial expressions she had just made.

He sat silently on the sofa for a while, then suddenly stood up, picked up the paper bag containing the dessert, pushed open the door, and knocked on the door of the next room.

Lingyao opened the door and saw Zhong Yanchuan standing there with a dark expression.
