Chapter 1199: Chapter 1199
Liu Han Yan’s somewhat disappointed tone made the boss’s face change drastically. In front of Xiao Zheng, how could he dare to continue making things difficult for Liu Han Yan?
"No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. What I mean is that now you’ve rented my office building, I also agree to rent it to you for 250,000 a month, and at the same time, I’ll waive the water and electricity fees for a year." The boss hurriedly explained, as if fearing Xiao Zheng’s misunderstanding.
Liu Han Yan looked at the boss with slight surprise.
Although the boss spoke lightly, with such a large office building, if it really operated, the water and electricity fees for a year would be an astronomical figure.
The conditions the boss is offering now can no longer be considered normal business; it’s almost like half-buy, half-giveaway.
Liu Han Yan looked at the boss incredulously, still unable to figure out why the boss would change from his previously arrogant and domineering attitude to this current half-buy, half-giveaway stance.
"Is that okay?" the boss asked tentatively. Seeing Liu Han Yan not speak, the boss continued to add, "Of course, if you still think the rent is too high, we can discuss further reductions." Check latest chapters at ɴovelfire.net
"That’s not what I meant." Liu Han Yan quickly responded.
She wasn’t someone who liked taking advantage of small favors. The conditions offered by the boss were already very generous.
These conditions would be half-buy, half-giveaway for anyone, and if Liu Han Yan continued to ask for other terms, it would be somewhat inappropriate. Moreover, Liu Han Yan is someone who never likes owing people.
Hearing this, the boss finally breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively glanced in Xiao Zheng’s direction.
Noticing Xiao Zheng’s calm expression, the boss felt somewhat reassured, at least Xiao Zheng wasn’t angry.
He didn’t aspire to please Xiao Zheng, only hoped Xiao Zheng wouldn’t blame him, after all, he had truly made things difficult for Liu Han Yan before.
Of course, if he had known Liu Han Yan came with Xiao Zheng this time, he wouldn’t have had that attitude at the start.
"Alright then, the average rent for all office buildings in this area is about 250,000 a month, so I’ll give it to you at that price. As for the water and electricity fees, I’ll pay them as usual." Liu Han Yan pondered for a moment and said.
The reason she didn’t accept the boss’s conditions before wasn’t because she was poor but because she didn’t want to be a fool and get taken advantage of.
As for the water and electricity fees, there was no need to save them, and if the boss waived a year’s fees for her, she would feel she owed the boss a favor, which wasn’t her style.
"This..." The boss looked somewhat hesitant.
"If you don’t agree, then I won’t rent this office building." Liu Han Yan shook her head and said, her expression very firm.
Although she still couldn’t quite understand what was going on, she finally understood a little now, that the boss’s attitude change wasn’t because he was playing with her before. But up until now, Liu Han Yan still couldn’t figure out the true reason for the boss’s change in attitude.
Hearing this, the boss quickly turned his head to look at Xiao Zheng, and upon seeing Xiao Zheng nod slightly, the boss also nodded and said, "That’s good, then let’s sign the contract."
The boss didn’t know, but his subconscious glance at Xiao Zheng had already been noticed by Liu Han Yan. Suddenly, Liu Han Yan realized that the boss’s attitude change started as soon as Xiao Zheng entered the office.
Could it be that the boss changed his attitude so greatly because of Xiao Zheng’s identity?
Her intuition said it was impossible; it seemed the boss and Xiao Zheng didn’t know each other, but the boss’s behavior was just too odd.
When he was hesitant, his first reaction was to look at Xiao Zheng, and only after getting Xiao Zheng’s approval did he continue speaking.
Liu Han Yan looked at Xiao Zheng suspiciously, and Xiao Zheng quickly put on a straight face, showing nothing she could read.
Liu Han Yan felt a bit disappointed, unable to discern anything from Xiao Zheng’s face, but now that the boss had signed the contract, there was no more hesitation.
After signing the simple contract, the office building’s ownership was transferred to Liu Han Yan for a year.
The boss politely had someone escort Liu Han Yan and Xiao Zheng out of the office and the building.
The drastically different attitude before and after left Liu Han Yan still unable to react.
Walking down the street, Liu Han Yan occasionally turned her head to look at Xiao Zheng, and finally couldn’t help but ask, "The reason the boss’s attitude changed, lowering the rent and offering to waive a year of water and electricity fees, probably has something to do with you, right?"
Xiao Zheng’s heart skipped a beat, but he still showed no different expression, pretending to be surprised and asked, "Why would you think that? The boss and I aren’t related, and he doesn’t know me, so why would he change his attitude towards you because of me? It might be due to some other reason."
"Some other reason?" Liu Han Yan was taken aback, frowning, unable to think of any reason that could make the boss’s attitude change so drastically in an instant.
"Maybe it’s because you’re beautiful." Xiao Zheng shrugged and said, "After all, the previous building’s owner also thought you were beautiful, just that her way of handling things was a bit inappropriate."
Moreover, that boss got her just deserts, directly ended up being kicked in the nuts by Liu Han Yan.
Liu Han Yan looked at Xiao Zheng half-doubtfully, still feeling a bit strange inside.
"Now let me ask you a question. Although I know about your relationship with Leng Ruobing, it seems I’ve never really known your identity. Can you tell me?" Liu Han Yan thought for a moment and asked.
She knew Leng Ruobing and Xiao Zheng were contractual spouses, but honestly, how could an ordinary person have such an opportunity?
Besides, as she thought carefully, it seemed even now she didn’t really know what Xiao Zheng’s identity was.
Previously, she hadn’t thought in that direction at all, but now her curiosity was unstoppable. In her view, the background behind Xiao Zheng definitely wasn’t ordinary.
Xiao Zheng chuckled, walking ahead, speaking without turning back, "A word of advice, being curious about me is a very dangerous thing. My identity isn’t really anything special, I’m just an ordinary guy in this city."
