26: Chapter 26 Is Gu Yuqing also in the clothing business?
"Do you need us to arrange for a staff member to guide you over there?"
"No need. My friend also lives here, so I can just go over on my own. Sorry to trouble you."
"It's no trouble at all. We are honored that Mr. Li chose our Yingyuan, and we wish you a pleasant life here."
Leaving the sales office.
Li Luo was just about to drive when he watched the Two Women walking ahead.
"Aren't we driving over?"
Gu Yuqing shook her head.
"It's not far ahead, and I'll take the opportunity to familiarize you with the residential complex."
"Alright then!"
Looking at Li Luo, who had come to her side, Gu Yuqing asked.
"You drive a ride-hailing car just to kill time, right?"
"Not at all. Didn't you see? My main job is driving a ride-hailing car, and my side hustle is investing."
Gu Yuqing asked curiously.
"What is your side hustle? You earn so much that you can afford a five-million-yuan house in full. Your net worth must be at least over ten million now, right?"
"Hurry up and tell me, what exactly do you do for your side hustle?"
Li Luo rolled his eyes at her.
"Are you a broken record? You don't even stutter when you talk. Besides, why are you asking so clearly? Do you want to pursue me? Although you are my Old Classmate, I still have to consider it."
"Go to hell, who wants to pursue you? You rascal."
Gu Yuqing was left blushing furiously by Li Luo's blunt words.
"Forget it if you won't tell me, geez."
"It's nothing much. I just invest in some small things on the side and made a bit of money, that's all."
Li Luo quickly changed the subject and asked.
"You lead the way. You said Building 7, Unit 1, 702, right? I've never been here before."
"Alright, follow me."
Along the way, Li Luo curiously looked around the complex. The environment was truly nice, and there was plenty of greenery.
It was worth the price.
Arriving at Building 7, based on Gu Yuqing's previous introduction, each building in this complex had fourteen floors. Li Luo's seventh floor could be considered a prime level.
Entering Building 7, he saw the polished, gleaming marble floor tiles in the lobby.
While waiting for the elevator, he noticed that, based on the walk over, not many people had moved into the complex yet.
Maybe it hadn't been long since the handover.
No wonder the environment and public facilities looked quite new along the way; it turned out they just hadn't been used much yet.
Li Luo knew that in this kind of large residential complex, once there were a lot of people, the environment and hygiene would deteriorate.
Things like cars parked haphazardly or people littering were all very common.
"Gu Yuqing, why did you rent a place here? Is your company nearby?"
"Yeah. First, it's close to the company. Second, I rented a simply furnished place, so the price is quite affordable."
"I haven't asked you yet, what do you do here in the Jiangning?"
"I'm currently a fashion designer at a company, but it's just a small company. Moreover, things have been very unstable there recently. It seems like a batch of supplies is always failing to arrive, and because of this, they've argued in meetings many times."
"But it has nothing to do with us employees; that's for the shareholders to worry about. We just need to work in peace and get paid on time. If it really doesn't work out, I'll just switch to another company. Since I'm in a small company, there isn't that much pressure."
"Plus, I'm used to being lazy. I can't handle too much pressure. As long as I can get by, that's enough. This society is just too cutthroat right now."
Li Luo felt that this was true; capital was always squeezing ordinary people.
However, the situation Gu Yuqing described sounded so much like Xu Mengjie's company!
"Do you work in the Jianhua Building?"
Gu Yuqing looked at Li Luo.
"How did you know?"
Li Luo made up a random excuse.
"I dropped someone off there one day and saw someone who looked a lot like you walking into that building. Now that I hear you say that, it might really be you."
Gu Yuqing suddenly realized.
"So that's how it is!"
Li Luo now knew that the small company Gu Yuqing mentioned must be Xu Mengjie's company. What a coincidence!
When he suddenly goes there to be the boss in the future, he can give her a surprise.
The three of them arrived at the seventh floor. Li Luo opened the door and walked in first.
He scanned the room. Aside from appliances, a bed, and a sofa, there were no other valuables, but the overall renovation was decent.
He turned to look at Xu Wei.
"It's still early. I'll accompany you to buy a bed, and you can pick out other small things yourself! As long as they are essentials for this house, I'll reimburse you."
Since she was moving in today, she definitely needed to buy a bed.
"Ah, okay."
Li Luo felt a bit strange. She was fine just a moment ago when sitting in the car.
After leaving the sales office, he felt that this woman had been a bit absent-minded.
Li Luo looked at Gu Yuqing.
"Are you coming?"
"You two go ahead. I won't go. I'm exhausted from my business trip these past few days, so I'm going back to sleep for a while."
"Alright then, let's head down together. I'll take the opportunity to see which building you live in, so I can visit you later."
Gu Yuqing teased upon hearing this.
"If you want to visit, remember to bring some food. My home doesn't have anything good to treat a multi-millionaire like you."
Li Luo curled his lips into a smile.
"I'm very easy to satisfy. Just give me some wood ear mushrooms for lunch and I'll be fine."
"You like wood ear mushrooms? No problem, I guarantee you'll eat your fill."
"So generous? Don't be stingy when the time comes!"
"What's stingy about eating wood ear mushrooms? Are you implying something?"
Li Luo smiled and shook his head.
"No, no. Let's take you back first."
The three of them went downstairs and walked toward Building 9, as Gu Yuqing had mentioned.
"I'm here."
Li Luo looked at the building number: Building 9.
"Which floor do you live on in Building 9?"
"Thirteenth floor, 1301."
"That high? Won't it be very hot in the summer?"
"If it's hot, I'll just turn on the air conditioner. There's no other way; my circumstances don't allow for it, and I don't live as comfortably as you, Boss!"
"What comfortable life? Alright, go back and rest. I still need to take your Best Friend to buy a bed."
"Alright then, I'm heading back."
"Li Luo, if you want to come over any day, send me a message in advance. I'll go buy groceries."
"You can cook too!"
"Of course. When I'm free, I basically cook at home myself. It's both cost-effective and hygienic."
"Not bad, not bad. If I can't find a girlfriend in the future, I'll pursue you."
"In your dreams." Gu Yuqing rolled her eyes.
Then she looked at Xu Wei, who was standing to the side.
"Weiwei, you can come over anytime. I'll cook for you so you don't have to order takeout on your days off." Gu Yuqing really felt for her Best Friend.
Xu Wei was somewhat touched.
"Thank you, Qingqing. I got it. Go back and get some good rest!"
"Alright, I'm off." After saying that, she turned and walked toward the elevator.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to add a reminder.
"Li Luo, send a message when you come over in the future. In case I'm not home, you'll have made the trip for nothing."
After saying this, Gu Yuqing swayed as she walked toward the elevator entrance.
"Let's go too." Li Luo took Xu Wei and returned to the sales office parking lot.
After getting in the car, they followed the navigation to a nearby furniture store. Li Luo bought a 1.8-meter bed, added a mattress, and also bought a few small stools.
It wasn't expensive; the total cost was just over five thousand.
He was planning to buy a sofa while he was at it, but Xu Wei said it wasn't necessary, as she would basically just go to bed when she got home.
As for the bathing issue, Xu Wei said she would temporarily bathe at Gu Yuqing's place. She wouldn't be staying here for long, at most returning to stay for a few days occasionally.
Li Luo also said that next time she went out of town and happened to be away for a few days...
He would contact the natural gas company to come and install it, so it would be ready to use when she returned.
