As soon as Jiang Xu opened the door, he froze in shock.

The house wasn’t a roughcast house as he had imagined, but a well-decorated one.

He walked out and reentered.

Well, the way he opened it was correct.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Jiang Xu looked at the staff and asked.

The staff member explained with a smile, “Mr. Jiang, our boss specifically ordered this.

Those eight sets of houses you have all come with exquisite decoration and some furniture and appliances.”

“Why?” Jiang Xu was at a loss.

The image of Bai Yujie suddenly came into his mind.

Did this future female real estate tycoon fall for his heroic aura and bow to him because of his school uniform?

“I’m not too sure about that,” the staff member shook his head.

He then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Xu with both hands.

“This is Ms. Bai’s business card, she instructed me to give it to you.”

Jiang Xu took it.

The card was heavy, made entirely of gold.

There was only a single phone number and Bai Yujie’s name on it.

“Wait a moment, let me call and ask,” he said.

Jiang Xu walked to the window, dialed the number on the business card and made a call.

“Hello, who is this?”

“Hello, Ms. Bai, this is Jiang Xu, the first one who agreed to relocate in the XX area. I’m not sure if you remember me.”

“Oh, I remember. Hello, what can I do for you?” she replied.

After learning about Jiang Xu’s identity, Bai Yujie’s tone became much friendlier.

“Just wanted to ask, why did you send me additional decorations?”

“Ah, that. I unexpectedly found out that both Fu Xinghan and An Feng are your friends when we were having dinner together.

They both spoke highly of you, so I had your houses remodeled.

Consider it a gesture of goodwill from me, in case you rise in prominence. That way, I’ll have more connections.”

Bai Yujie was rather straightforward and didn’t keep any secrets.

Jiang Xu then understood.

So that’s how it was.

He figured his prestige wasn’t big enough to get extra preference from someone like Bai Yujie.

“I appreciate it, Ms. Bai. I’ll be sure to express my thanks personally when I get the chance,” he said.

Bai Yujie chuckled and replied, “No need, there’s also a bit of gratitude for you being the first one to sign the contract. I’m someone who knows how to return favors.”

They exchanged a few words and then ended the conversation.

Jiang Xu smiled slightly.

The cost of decorating eight houses was not a small amount.

Most importantly, he saved the time required for decorating and could immediately put them up for rent.

He started inspecting the house.

The floor tiles looked quite expensive.

The paint on the walls also felt good to the touch.

The kitchen was fitted with a range hood, a microwave, an induction cooker, and more.

The bathroom was divided into wet and dry areas, and it had a heater and a water heater installed.

Even though the built-up area was only ninety square meters, it was made into four rooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

The four rooms were quite small, but their layout was reasonable and didn’t seem cramped.

The living room was somewhat smaller, though.

There were also two balconies, one large and one small.

The small balcony was roughly five square meters, considered a bonus area.

Basic furniture and appliances were all provided.

Additionally, there wasn’t any pungent smell in the room, proving that the materials used were of good quality.

One could move in with just a suitcase.

Afterward, Jiang Xu went to inspect the other seven sets of houses.

He was quite satisfied with all of them.

Before leaving, he opened all the windows of all the houses.

After airing them out a few days, he could start renting them out.

Since he was already there, Jiang Xu decided to take An Nuonuo to the construction site where her house was being rebuilt to check on the progress. The progress there was quite significant, too.

They didn’t go in, just watched from a distance on the outside for a while.

They also asked a few nearby workers.

The foundations for five buildings were already in place.

Once the foundations were done, construction would progress quickly.

An Nuonuo was also getting excited.

These days, it was better to rely on oneself.

Time quickly moved onto February 14.

School started on that day.

Returning to the classroom, Jiang Xu felt a sense of estrangement.

“Hurry, hurry, let me copy your homework,” Fu Yanjie barged in as soon as Jiang Xu had set down his bag, urgently asking for his winter vacation homework.

“Didn’t you already finish your homework?” Jiang Xu was puzzled.

“Don’t even mention it.” Fu Yanjie looked woebegone. “Yesterday, a few uncles came to visit my house.

Several of them got drunk and started betting on who dared to do what.

My dad is always concerned about face, and after losing a few rounds, he went to my room, took out my winter vacation homework,

And said, ‘I dare to burn my son’s winter vacation homework. What about you?’

And that was the end of my winter vacation homework.”

Jiang Xu was speechless.

He had seen fathers that embarrassed their sons, but this was the first time he’d seen one that screwed their own son over in such a way.

Shaking his head, Jiang Xu handed his winter vacation homework to him.

School was about to start, and he estimated that Yanjie wouldn’t be able to finish much of it.

As he returned to his seat, he noticed that after the holidays not all the students were focused yet, discussing various fun things and delicious food.

Some of them even talked about Valentine’s Day.

Oh, Jiang Xu then remembered that February 14 was indeed Valentine’s Day.

But it’s none of his business.

After all, he didn’t have a girlfriend, so it made no difference whether it was Valentine’s Day or not.

Suddenly, the bell for the lesson rang.

The headteacher walked into the classroom.

With a stern face, he said, “Students, we only have one semester left until the college entrance examination.

This is significant for the rest of your lives, so you need to treat it seriously.

Starting today, there’s only half a day off every Sunday.

Also, whether you’re boarding students or not, everyone has to attend evening self-study, which ends at six thirty.”

When he finished speaking, a groan of despair spread across the room.

Jiang Xu was indifferent and didn’t care.

After the teacher finished his speech, he asked the class monitor to takes everyone’s winter vacation homework.

Simultaneously, he added: “Anyone that didn’t finish their winter vacation homework will need to do all the college entrance examination papers from last year, the year before, and the year before that. Hand them in to me before school ends.”

Fu Yanjie then stood up and announced, “Teacher, I want to report my father.”

The teacher was confused.

Fu Yanjie said, “My winter vacation homework was burned by my father last night.”

“Ha,” the teacher gave a wry laugh. “Would it kill you to come up with a more believable excuse?

Which father would do such an unreliable thing like burning their child’s winter vacation homework?”

Fu Yanjie replied, “My dad did it. If you don’t believe me, call him.”

“Okay, I’ll call your father right now.”

The teacher was a bit angry.

Yanjie’s grades had improved significantly last semester.

Who would have thought that he’d revert to his old ways after just one winter vacation. contemporary romance

Soon enough, he dialed Fu Xinghan’s number.

The teacher put it on speakerphone.

“Hello, teacher. What can I do for you?”

“Hello Mr. Fu, your son claims you burned his winter vacation homework last night, is this true?”

“No, no, no, I didn’t. Stop making this up!” Fu Xinghan immediately denied it three times.

Fu Yanjie was speechless..
