When Zhong Xuan returned to the Ode to Joy district the next day, he happened to meet Qiu Yingying, who was returning home from work.
She looked dejected. Her small face was tightly scrunched up, and her sadness was written all over her face.
"What's wrong? Yingying! Are you unhappy?"
Zhong Xuan walked up and asked.
"Lawyer Zhong, Sister Fan is gone. I can't bear to part with her!”
Qiu Yingying said with some sadness and reluctance.
"I know about this. I helped her find a new job!”
Zhong Xuan smiled and replied,""I told her before that there's no need to be too anxious about the money, but she said that with her current salary, she might not be able to pay it back in her lifetime. She doesn't want to owe me anything, nor does she want to leave the debt to the next generation!”
"So I had no choice but to find a friend and introduce her to a job. Although it's a little hard, the salary is pretty good!”
Lawyer Zhong, you're such a good person!"
Qiu Yingying raised her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Zhong Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect this little girl to give him a good person card.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else you're sad about?"
Zhong Xuan asked again.
"The rent for room 2202 was originally split between the three of us, but Sister Fan left and the landlord wanted to raise the rent again.”
At the mention of this matter, Qiu Yingying became sad again and said,"Guan Guan had already passed her internship and could go to the unit's dormitory, but for my sake, she didn't mention this matter!”
"I know she's doing this for my own good, but I don't want to drag her down!”
Zhong Xuan's eyes flashed. He had expected this.
If Fan Shengmei left, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying would definitely not be able to afford such expensive rent, so there would definitely be problems.
This was also the real reason why Zhong Xuan asked Fan Shengmei to move away.
"Don't be sad yet!"
Zhong Xuan took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to Qiu Yingying. He said,""Don't be sad first. I'll take you somewhere!”
Qiu Yingying took the tissue and wiped her tears. She said pitifully,"Where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there!”
Zhong Xuan smiled and pulled Qiu Yingying's arm, leading her forward.
When they arrived at the door of Room 2102, Zhong Xuan gestured to Qiu Yingying and said,""I bought this house last month!”
"I originally wanted to connect it to my room! This way, it will be more comfortable. However, since you have difficulties now, you can stay here for the time being!”
"But I can't afford the rent here!”
Qiu Yingying said sadly.
She could barely afford to rent a house in the Ode to Joy neighborhood, let alone rent a room alone.
"You can stay here for now. I won't charge you rent!”
Zhong Xuan smiled and said.
"No!"
Qiu Yingying rejected without thinking and said,"Lawyer Zhong, I know you're rich. The rent for this house is nothing to you, but my dad taught me that a poor person has a strong ambition, so I can't live in your house for free!”
Zhong Xuan was not surprised. He had already guessed that Qiu Yingying would reject him, but he was already prepared.
"Why don't we go into the room first and take a look?”
"Good!"
Qiu Yingying nodded. Although she didn't plan to stay here, it wouldn't stop her from going in to take a look.
Zhong Xuan opened the door and let Qiu Yingying in.
"Lawyer Zhong, what happened to your house? Isn't that a pity?"
Qiu Yingying exclaimed in disbelief when she saw the situation inside the house.
The corners of the house and the gaps between the floors were filled with black oil stains, dyeing the originally clean house black.
Even the curtain rods and cabinets were covered in black oil stains.
Moreover, a large part of the wall was broken. Most of the oil stains were concentrated here, and it looked very dirty.
Qiu Yingying looked over and saw Zhong Xuan saying helplessly,""I originally wanted to connect the two rooms directly and get some fitness equipment and a coffee shop study room!”
"But this wall has just been broken, and these oil stains are splashing out. It might be because the oil pipe is broken, or it might be left behind during the construction!”
"It's not a matter of a day or two to clean this room. It's not worth it to hire someone from outside!”
"So if you want to live here, you have to help me clean the house! I'm not letting you stay for free!"
"This…"
Hearing Zhong Xuan's words, Qiu Yingying was a little hesitant and tempted.
She had just taken a look. Only the living room had a lot of oil stains. The rest, such as the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, were clean.
It was quite convenient and comfortable to live here. Moreover, he did not live in vain. He still needed to work.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yingying nodded and said,""Then consider it as me borrowing this place for now. When I have money, I will definitely make up for the rent!”
