" RMB, is that okay?" Zhou Kexin asked.
Upon hearing this, Chen Haoxuan turned around and went back inside without a word. RMB was too insulting; after all, he was the Chief Professor of Future Century. At the very least, it should be over ten thousand!
Seeing Chen Haoxuan walk away, Zhou Kexin curiously called out, "Hey, are you going to accept it or not?"
"You are deliberately humiliating me," Chen Haoxuan replied without turning his head.
Zhou Kexin turned to Hua Lingwei and asked with a puzzled expression, "Vivi, why does he say I'm humiliating him?"
Hua Lingwei rolled her eyes at Zhou Kexin and said, "Are you stupid? Can't you see? He thinks your offer is too low."
After hearing Hua Lingwei's explanation, Zhou Kexin understood. She grabbed Hua Lingwei's hand and walked into Chen Haoxuan's home. When they saw how shabby Chen Haoxuan's place was, their mouths dropped open in surprise. It wasn't that they were overreacting; they had never seen such a poor living situation before.
"Chen Haoxuan, have you always lived here?" Hua Lingwei asked.
"Yes! I've lived here for over a year. Is there a problem?" Chen Haoxuan replied without looking up as he processed herbs.
"Ah— you've lived here for so long! It seems your life has been quite tough," Hua Lingwei murmured.
Seeing how poorly Chen Haoxuan lived stirred Zhou Kexin's maternal instincts. She wanted to help him. "Chen Haoxuan, I've thought about it. I'll offer you RMB to rent you for one night. Is that okay?" Zhou Kexin said with a smile, feeling that her price was already quite high since ordinary workers wouldn't earn that much in a day.
Chen Haoxuan remained silent, seemingly not hearing her as he continued with his tasks.
"Say something!" Zhou Kexin said angrily.
"Zhou Kexin, he still thinks your offer is low," Hua Lingwei reminded her.
"What? RMB is still low? That's more than what white-collar workers earn in a day, and it's just for one night!" Zhou Kexin exclaimed angrily.
At this moment, Chen Haoxuan spoke up. "My current job is tutoring; I teach several students and can earn around ten thousand in three hours. If you want me to attend the gathering with you, I might face difficulties from your admirers. So if you want to invite me, you'll need to give me at least Fifty Thousand Renminbi. Don't think that's too expensive; when the time comes for the gathering, you'll understand what value for money really means."
Zhou Kexin frowned, feeling that Chen Haoxuan's price was really too high. The most important thing was that she didn't have that much money; her monthly allowance was only RMB, and it wasn't even enough for her own expenses! How could she possibly take out that much? So, Zhou Kexin thought of her friend Hua Lingwei and turned to her, saying, "Vivi, can you lend me forty thousand Renminbi?"
"We're good sisters, of course I can!" Hua Lingwei patted her ample chest, speaking with great loyalty.
Hearing Hua Lingwei's agreement, Zhou Kexin turned back to Chen Haoxuan and said, "Okay, I agree. Today you will accompany me to the gathering my dad is hosting, and I will give you fifty thousand Renminbi."
"That sounds good. Just tell me when to go," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile. He never expected that coming to the 21st century would be so advantageous; while others worked hard and earned so little, he was making money effortlessly.
"Tonight at 7 PM. Wait for me at the school gate; I'll drive over to pick you up," Zhou Kexin said happily.
"OK," Chen Haoxuan replied, understanding the plan.
After finalizing the details with Chen Haoxuan, Zhou Kexin didn't go back but instead explored Chen Haoxuan's house with Hua Lingwei, even taking photos as mementos.
Chen Haoxuan didn't mind them; there was nothing precious in his place, so he wasn't worried about Zhou Kexin and her friend stealing anything.
When Zhou Kexin entered Chen Haoxuan's room, she saw his neatly hung clothes on the rack and the quilt folded into a tofu shape on the bed. Everything in the room was arranged very tidily, as if it had never been disturbed. "Vivi, look! I didn't expect Chen Haoxuan to be such a cultured person; his room is tidier than mine," Zhou Kexin said enviously. In reality, Chen Haoxuan didn't have the time to tidy up his room! It was all thanks to Chen Yina that his room looked so organized.
"I feel like Chen Haoxuan is becoming more mysterious," Hua Lingwei remarked.
"I feel the same way. How could someone so outstanding keep himself hidden so deeply?" Zhou Kexin sighed.
After admiring Chen Haoxuan's house, they approached him curiously as he was busy. "What are you doing?" Zhou Kexin asked curiously.
"I'm making medicine. What kind of medicine? You don't need to ask because I won't tell you," Chen Haoxuan replied lightly. He didn't want Zhou Kexin and her friend to know he was making beauty products; otherwise, they would definitely ask him to make some for them since every woman loves beauty, especially rich girls like Zhou Kexin.
"Hmph, who cares to know?" Zhou Kexin said angrily. Although she said that, her eyes were still curiously watching Chen Haoxuan as he worked.
Zhou Kexin and her friend stayed at Chen Haoxuan's place all afternoon without going back. When lunchtime came around, Chen Haoxuan had no choice but to cook for three people. While he was cooking, Zhou Kexin and Hua Lingwei were very proactive in helping wash vegetables, rice, and dishes.
Chen Haoxuan rarely cooks, but that doesn't mean he isn't skilled in the kitchen. While Chen Haoxuan was cooking, Zhou Kexin and the others watched him, admiring how cool he looked while preparing the food, which made them think, "This man is simply a woman's nemesis."
"Alright, bring over the plates," Chen Haoxuan said.
"Oh." Zhou Kexin felt compelled to bring a pristine white plate and place it next to Chen Haoxuan.
Chen Haoxuan prepared three dishes and a soup, which was his standard from before. The fragrant dishes were served on the table, and Chen Haoxuan confidently sat down beside it. He handed an empty bowl to Zhou Kexin, saying, "Help me serve the rice."
"Oh." Zhou Kexin actually agreed. If He Haoming saw Zhou Kexin being treated like a servant by Chen Haoxuan, he would definitely confront Chen Haoxuan. How could he treat a beautiful woman who needs a man's care like this!
Hua Lingwei also handed her bowl to Zhou Kexin, grinning as she said, "Zhou Kexin, I want some too."
However, Zhou Kexin completely ignored her, giving Hua Lingwei a glare and retorting, "You have hands and feet; can't you serve yourself?"
"Favoring looks over friends, huh?" Hua Lingwei pouted, dissatisfied.
(Today there were some complicated matters at home, so there will only be one chapter today. I will make it up later; sorry.)
