Chapter 159 - The treat

“Then our studio should be founded very quickly. Can we discuss the contract with the renter now?” Liang Shaohun wanted to solve the trivial matters quickly so that he could tell the results to Mo Yichen.

“If you have some misgivings about the house, we can consider it. You are the boss.” Liang Shaohun appeared to be a gentleman now.

“I want to consider more. I really feel that the rent is too expensive.” Gu Yan said.

“Don’t worry! I have told you before. I invested in your studio, so you don’t need to worry about the price now. I am so intelligent. Nobody can deceive me.” Liang Shaohun wanted to ease the disquiet of Gu Yan.

“I know. You are worried that we can’t make profit immediately and I will lose a large sum of money if we have a deficit. You don’t need to worry about these. I considered this problem before, so I chose to cooperate with you. I have confidence with you.” Liang Shaohun patted Gu Yan’s shoulder. Seeing Liang Shaohun’s confidence, Gu Yan said nothing.

“It’s settled! I will talk about the price with the renter now. Wait for a minute.” Then Liang Shaohun advised Gu Yan to wander around to familiarize with the environment.

Gu Yan went to the back yard and saw many potted plants in a small slope, all of which were unknown wild flowers. It could be seen that the former owner lived a comfortable life and cared little about gains and losses, which was also a life that Gu Yan expected. She hoped that the environment here could edify her.

“Why doesn’t Liang Shaohun come back yet?” Gu Yan waited beside the garden for a long time. She was a little impatient, sitting down and standing up repeatedly.

“Don’t let her know it. You just tell her that we have signed the contract.” Liang Shaohun seriously enjoined the renter not to tell Gu Yan the truth. This must be kept absolutely secret as Mo Yichen ordered.

Then Liang Shaohun walked out.

“Gu Yan, everything is okay. We can rent the house.” Liang Shaohun said to Gu Yan but winked at the renter.

“Miss, I have rented the house to you in the lowest price.” The renter said sadly, gave the key of the house to Gu Yan and walked away.

“Do we lower the price so much? He is so sad. Is it really cheap? How much is the rent?” Gu Yan asked surprisingly.

“It’s quite cheap. After the discount, we only need to pay 30,000 yuan a month.” Liang Shaohun said calmly because he certainly cared nothing about the money.

“I still feel that it is a little expensive. I only spend 20,000 on renting my first studio.” Gu Yan said.

“Aha! Don’t worry. It is well placed, so actually, the rent isn’t expensive. You seem to be tired. Let’s eat some delicious food. You treat me this time.” Liang Shaohun put his hands on Gu Yan’s shoulder. Gu Yan was a little uncomfortable for his action, but she said nothing after considering that they were classmates.

Moreover, Liang Shaohun was an open and straight man full of responsibility. Gu Yan didn’t dislike him.

Gu Yan got on the car. Liang Shaohun winked at the people in the opposite bush and gestured a goodbye. He had noticed that they were tracked by some people who might be bodyguards of Mo Yichen. “Mo Yichen ordered his bodyguards to observe secretly but take no obvious action. He is really intelligent.” Liang Shaohun thought.

Then Liang Shaohun took Gu Yan to a Chinese restaurant and observed the situation. He chose a safer place to sit down.

“What are you looking for?” Gu Yan was very curious because Liang Shaohun was looking around on entering the restaurant.

“Nothing! I just want to find a quiet place.” Liang Shaohun found an excuse.

Actually, he was still worried that the bodyguards of Mo Yichen would follow them. They were so annoying, so he must be cautious.

“You should love Chinese food. I thought people at the same social status like you all like western food.” Gu Yan said.

“I love both Chinese food and western food, but I…” Liang Shaohun stopped because he couldn’t tell Gu Yan that he chose to eat Chinese food in the mid-range restaurant just because he was worried that Gu Yan didn’t take enough money.

“What’s wrong?”

“I just want to have a change in diet.” Liang Shaohun smiled embarrassedly.

“Well, do you know that Mo Yichen is also here? He said that he went on business here. I don’t know the details.” Gu Yan said calmly.

“Really? Why doesn’t he call me? I can treat you then.” Liang Shaohun pretended to be quite surprised.

“I will see him if I have time. I will call him first when I arrive home later. He is really ungenerous.” At this moment, Liang Shaohun understood that it was difficult to patch up a lie.

“Dishes are ready. Let’s enjoy them. I am so hungry. I heard that the braised shrimps here were quite delicious. Have a taste!” Then Liang Shaohun picked up a big sea crab to Gu Yan.

“Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. You don’t need to say thanks all the time. We are classmates and acquaintances.” Liang Shaohun said.

“Oh, I should thank you.” Gu Yan said politely.

“Well, you can call me Shaohun.” Liang Shaohun was quite complacent. But it was just the beginning.

After dinner, they were about to go home. Liang Shaohun suddenly saw Mo Yichen. Seeing that Liang Shaohun looked at the distance dully, Gu Yan wanted to see what happened, but was quickly pushed into the car by him.

Gu Yan thought that Liang Shaohun should have eaten too much because he pushed her heavily just now. Liang Shaohun was quite complacent because he protected Gu Yan, Mo Yichen’s girlfriend, all day. So, he quickly went home and waited for Mo Yichen’s call.

After arriving home, a person took Liang Shaohun’s clothes and briefcase. Seeing that he was taken care of so carefully, Gu Yan felt the unfairness of the world.

“I will go back to my room first. If you need to consult something with me, you can call me. Bye!”

Then Gu Yan went into her room.

In a short while, Liang Shaohun knocked the door.

“Shaohun, what’s wrong? It’s so late.”

“We need to sign a contract and then we will become partners formally. After it takes effect, I will go the Censorship Office to register. We can start the construction only after the registration.” Liang Shaohun said and squeezed into Gu Yan’s room.

“What’s wrong? Is it inconvenient to sign the contract?” He asked.

Gu Yan showed a painful expression.

“Sorry, I have something to do now. Please go out first. I will sign the contract tomorrow.” Then Gu Yan pushed Liang Shaohun out.

Liang Shaohun stood outside dully and recalled what happened just now. At last, he understood and then left.

“Everyone feels bad for a few days in a month.” He murmured.

“Oh, I have a stomachache.” Gu Yan murmured. She pushed Liang Shaohun out just because she got a diarrhea.
