Bow to tempt the peach

Chapter 8 Regret?
It was just past noon, and the bright sunlight shone brightly into the office through the floor-to-ceiling windows, depicting the man's tall back on the floor.

Half of Lu Chenyan's body was bathed in the sun, and his handsome side face seemed to be coated with a layer of soft light. When he glanced over casually, it was difficult to look away.

"What a coincidence." He greeted Xu Youtao with a faint smile.

Seeing her shock, he found it very interesting, and it was no wonder that he changed his way back to this place on his way back to the company.

Xu Youtao still suspected that she was dreaming. If the landlord of this shop was really Lu Chenyan, then the monthly rental income would be enough for him to live a comfortable and prosperous life. Why would he still have to show his face and cheat everywhere?
Having been deceived twice before, she was extremely vigilant this time.

"Are you the landlord?"

The corners of Lu Chenyan's lips raised slightly, and his peach blossom eyes stared at her, as if he could clearly see what she was thinking.

And he did not disappoint her.

"No," he said, "This is the shop of one of my...employers."

"I was entrusted by the other party to come over to help deal with it."

In fact, he did not lie. The real owner of this office building is barely his "friend", a friend with interests in business dealings.

The other party borrowed money from him to make investments. In the end, the business went bankrupt and he couldn't repay the money, so he mortgaged the building to him to repay the debt.

Lu Chenyan's calm demeanor slightly dispelled Xu Youtao's wariness, but she was still very uncomfortable.

She originally wanted to have a good discussion with the landlord about the rent of the shop, and it would be better if it could be lowered, but when she saw Lu Chenyan, she knew that her hope was dashed. After all, the other party was a more stingy person than she was.

During the Q&A between the two, Zhou Yao could see that this was not the first time they met. Recalling that her best friend had not interacted with other members of the opposite sex not long after she came to Shanghai, she easily guessed Lu Chenyan's identity.

——The evil man who defrauded money twice.

Tsk, Zhou Yao stared straight at Lu Chenyan, her eyes shining, she really deserves to be the number one in the Deacon Shop!
With her looks, figure, and temperament, she would be willing to be cheated on.

"Ahem, Mr. Lu?" Zhou Yao pulled Xu Youtao forward, trying to get close to Lu Chenyan, "I am Taotao's friend, we..."

Before she could finish the rest of her words, Xu Youtao covered Zhou Yao's mouth.

Xu Youtao looked embarrassed. The first two separations between her and Lu Chenyan were not pleasant.

And she also knew that Zhou Yao was a super beauty-controller, so he was afraid that she would be sold and he would still count the money for Lu Chenyan.

"Yao Yao, you and Xiaoling go outside and wait for me." Xu Youtao winked at Zhou Yao, pretending not to notice the playful gaze of the man opposite.

Lu Chenyan crossed his arms across his chest, leaned against the wall with a casual attitude, and said softly, "Miss Xu, am I so scary?"

Xu Youtao pushed Zhou Yao out of the office and didn't answer. She only took the time to glare at him, receiving a slight sneer from the man.

Zhou Yao was instantly excited and hinted at Xu Youtao with his eyes frantically.

She felt that the relationship between her sisters and this top man was not simple!
Xu Youtao pushed her out of the office, ignored her hot eyes, and closed the office door expressionlessly.

Zhou Yao's heavy sigh came from the corridor. In the office next to the door, only Lu Chenyan and Xu Youtao were left.

Lu Chen, tired of being tall, looked down at Xu Youtao with a calm expression on his face, but he was already distracted in his heart.

I just had lunch with a partner, and on the way back to the company, assistant Zhao Jin suddenly told him that someone had taken a fancy to an office in the office building.

Zhao Jin has been following him for a long time and has always known the importance. Such trivial matters can be dealt with by just dispatching people. There is no need to report and waste time.

Then he found out that the person who wanted to rent an office was Xu Youtao.

By some strange coincidence, he came here. He obviously still had a lot of unfinished work in the company...

"Mr. Lu." Xu Youtao's soft voice interrupted Lu Chenyan's distraction.

Seeing her face that was obviously unhappy but still pretending to smile, Lu Chenyan felt inexplicably comfortable. He found a reason for himself to come here to waste time - the work was too heavy to relieve his boredom.

"Huh?" Lu Chenyan raised his eyebrows lightly. He completely lost his usual harsh and cold look in front of his subordinates. His whole person was lazy and showed a bad sense of teasing. "Want to use the back door to reduce the rent?"

Xu Youtao still inevitably had a little expectation in her heart, the smile on her face became sweeter and her eyes were bright, "Is it okay?"

Lu Chenyan also smiled, "No way."

Xu Youtao:......

Like a deflated balloon, she hesitated for a moment, then immediately stopped smiling and returned to her expressionless, business-like look, "Oh, then let's sign the contract at the original price."

What a dog man, a black-hearted man. He cursed his future employers to be extremely picky about him and write negative reviews!

Lu Chenyan didn't know that she was slandering him in her heart, but seeing her give up so easily, she still had some unfinished thoughts in her heart.

"But..." He deliberately prolonged his voice.

Xu Youtao's heart started to rise again.

"As for whether the rent is paid quarterly or monthly, and whether the deposit is larger or smaller, we should be able to discuss it." He said ambiguously.

Xu Youtao forced a smile on her face and said bravely: "Mr. Lu, we are familiar with each other once and twice. This is the third time we have met, so we can be considered friends."

"Friend?" Lu Chenyan did not hide the suspicion in his tone.

She really regarded him as a friend, but when she saw him, she acted as if she was on guard against a thief, speaking duplicity.

Xu Youtao's expression remained unchanged, "Of course we are friends."

The two times cheated her out to a total of 2818 yuan, but she remembered it.

"Well, there is a coffee shop downstairs. Let me buy you a cup of coffee."

Lu Chenyan deliberately raised his arm to look at his watch, "My time is precious."

Xu Youtao understood the hint in his words, resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and pretended to be positive and enthusiastic, "I know, 200 for an hour, and 50 for going out."

"I pay for my time."

Lu Chenyan was satisfied, raised his chin slightly, and said as if he was trying to give her some face, "Let's go."

Xu Youtao kept the smile on her face, turned around and opened the office door, and rolled her eyes.
-
Outside the corridor, Zhou Yaozheng was lying on the door panel regardless of her appearance and eavesdropping. However, the sound insulation was so good that she didn't hear a word.

When the door was opened, she almost fell, but was helped by Fu Ling behind her.

"Taotao." Zhou Yao pretended to be stupid.

Xu Youtao was really not in a good mood. When she saw Zhou Yao, she remembered what she said last night about her and Lu Chenyan's bad financial relationship.

What a crow's mouth.

"Ahem." Zhou Yao glanced at Lu Shenyan secretly, trying to detect something from his face.

But Lu Chenyan just looked at her coldly, seemingly not taking her seriously.

However, when the other party looked at his best friend, his whole person seemed to come alive.

Lu Chenyan raised his lips towards Xu Youtao and smiled frivolously, "Do you regret it?"

Zhou Yao:! ! !
There is definitely something fishy!

　Friends, please give me recommendation votes and monthly passes, I love you~

　　See you tomorrow~
