Xiao Wen took out a cigarette from her palm-sized bag and lit it.
Her eyes were very solemn, and she seemed to be particularly resistant to the idea of going home.
Lin Chuan asked in confusion: "Why don't you want to go home? Is there any reason?"
The smoke was thick and deep in front of Xiao Wen's cheeks.
She said slowly: "This time the work unit allocates rooms, and I don't have a share. I am already 32 years old, and I am still crowded with my parents, sister, and brother.
They all have bedrooms when they get married, but I can only sleep on the floor every night. My brother-in-law is going to have a baby in a month, and there will be no place to live by then.
I've had enough of living without privacy and having to wait even to go to the bathroom!"
After saying that, she looked at the upstairs window with great disgust, as if all this was torture to her.
In this era, it is normal for a family of more than a dozen people to squeeze into a room of tens of square meters.
Those with better work units can also be allocated houses for free. However, as the city develops, it becomes obvious that there are more people than there are people. Especially when it comes to allocating houses, it is impossible to take care of everyone. This is completely understandable.
And the number of people who can afford to live in a big villa like him is less than one in ten thousand.
Therefore, Lin Chuan understands how Xiao Wen is feeling right now.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan smiled and said: "You are the same. You are already 32 and you are still not married. It is not an option for an older woman like you to hang out with your family all day long.
Let's do this. The house I used to live in, Xi Xiaolei's, is still vacant. It's not a bad house. If you don't mind it, just go and live there. If that doesn't work, I can buy it and give it to you!"
Xiao Wen was very excited now and asked hurriedly: "It would be great if you let me live there. When can I move there?"
"Any time is fine. I basically bought all the household appliances new and haven't moved them out yet. You can just take your luggage and stay here tonight!"
What's there to say? Xiao Wen doesn't want to be crowded with her family for a second.
She asked Lin Chuan to wait for her and go home to pack her things now.
After waiting for about half an hour, Xiao Wen finally got downstairs with the help of her whole family.
Although the words were a bit reluctant, in Lin Chuan's view, they were more like sending Xiao Wen off.
Xiao Wen didn't even introduce Lin Chuan to them because she didn't want them to misunderstand that Lin Chuan was her man.
Lin Chuan is a good person who goes to the end, helping Xiao Wen deliver all her luggage to her home, and patiently instructs her on water, electricity and gas.
It can be seen that Xiao Wen is very happy and excited.
She never thought that she could live in such a big, nice, spacious and bright house.
All this is thanks to Lin Chuan.
During the conversation, Xiao Wen also expressed her gratitude.
"This house is bigger than my home. Tonight I can finally sleep peacefully on a soft bed. I can go to the bathroom whenever I want. Kawako, you are really good to me!"
As she spoke, Xiao Wen's eyes became a little moist.
Lin Chuan said nonchalantly: "Why are you so polite to me? You can live here with peace of mind and lock the door at night. After all, you live here by yourself, and safety is your priority.
I’ll get you another 10,000 yuan, because I’m usually busy, so you can see what’s missing, what you like, and buy some for yourself!”
Xiao Wen hurriedly refused: "Don't give me money, I have money, and besides, I don't lack anything, I don't need it!"
But Lin Chuan still insisted: "Just take it. If you help me negotiate such a big project tonight, it will be your reward. If you don't take it, I will feel very sorry!"
Even so, the money is too much.
Ten thousand yuan is directly equivalent to a household worth ten thousand yuan.
Lin Chuan is a rich man, hundreds of thousands or even millions are nothing to him.
That's how much he earns.
But for her monthly salary, including bonuses, benefits, etc., for an ordinary management department employee who is less than 70 yuan, 10,000 yuan is an astronomical figure.
However, Lin Chuan always insisted on letting her take it, and she had no choice but to accept the money.
After Lin Chuan left, Xiao Wen lay excitedly on the soft bed, feeling as if she was dreaming.
It was almost ten o'clock when Lin Chuan returned home.
Manman was actually not asleep yet. She was holding Lin Wanyu's Walkman, humming and dancing there.
Lin Chuan was so angry that he pulled off her headphones and scolded her coldly: "Look what time it is, why don't you go to bed?"
Just when he was enjoying listening, he was interrupted by Lin Chuan. Manman said reluctantly: "What do you want to do? I am listening very well!"
"Don't listen anymore. Now go to your room and sleep. In my place, you have to let me sleep at ten o'clock. During the day, you go to the library and read to me. You only have two hours a day to do what you want!"
So many demands made Manman extremely resistant.
"Why? My mother didn't even say that she cares about me. Besides, what I hate the most is the library. I can't even cough. Besides, two hours is enough for fun.
In this case, I might as well go back to the imperial capital!"
Lin Chuan still said expressionlessly: "Can you be more angry? Have you forgotten what you promised me originally? You are messing around like this, and you still tell me that you want revenge?
If you want to go back to the imperial capital, just go back. No one will stop you. At most, everyone including your mother will be extremely disappointed in you.
But it doesn’t matter to you at all, because you don’t care at all, I don’t even bother to tell you this, you can do whatever you want!”
After saying a few words, Lin Chuan glared at her with contempt, turned around and went back to his bedroom.
Manman stood there for more than ten minutes.
Lin Chuan's heart-wrenching contempt was always ringing in his ears.
And she secretly swore that she would never be looked down upon by anyone, let alone Lin Chuan.
So she put down her Walkman and went back to her room to sleep.
Early the next morning, I didn't even eat, so I went to the library to read.
Qin Mengying complained: "Look, you scolded other people's children. Manman is still a child after all. You have to give her some time and let her experience it slowly. Then she will understand!"
But Lin Chuan smiled helplessly: "It's not me who gives her time, but herself. I just tell her what to do. In the end, it's up to her.
By the way, today I am going to sign a 3.5 million acquisition agreement, you can just write it down in the financial data later!"
"3.5 million? Boss, what do you want to acquire?" Qin Mengying asked in surprise.
"The non-staple food market behind the movie theater is the same as the movie theater. These two places are particularly important. If you win the non-staple food market, you won't be afraid of competition!"
