Chapter 103: Only One Room

Zhao Yanyan settled into the car, letting out a sigh of relief. “It’s so comfortable in the car with the air conditioning on. It’s really cool.”

“You’re wearing such short pants, and you’re still hot?” Lin Xiaowan commented, even reaching out to touch Zhao Yanyan’s long legs.

“Heh! You stand out there for half an hour and see if it’s hot. Xiaowan, you should heat up more easily than me, given your constitution.” After saying that, Zhao Yanyan carefully examined Lin Xiaowan.

Feeling a bit self-conscious under her gaze, Lin Xiaowan asked, “Yanyan, what are you looking at?”

“I’m looking at your skin. Xiaowan, your complexion is so rosy and healthy lately. Have you been eating well? Your skin looks radiant and beautiful,” Zhao Yanyan said as she pinched Lin Xiaowan’s cheek.

Lin Xiaowan swatted Zhao Yanyan’s hand away. “Isn’t my skin always this good?”

“Uh... I can’t argue with that,” Zhao Yanyan admitted awkwardly.

Su Lin, observing the scene, shook his head. “Alright, stop chatting for now and give me directions. Yanyan, didn’t you say the supermarket is under renovation? How’s the progress?”

Zhao Yanyan became a bit embarrassed. Recently, she had been constantly bothered by Lin Tian and had avoided going to the supermarket to prevent him from knowing where she worked. As a result, she wasn’t sure about the supermarket’s progress.

“What’s the matter? Any problem?” Su Lin asked, surprised.

Zhao Yanyan shook her head. “No... It’s just that I’ve been a bit preoccupied with family matters recently and haven’t been able to check on the supermarket.”

“We’ll only know the exact situation when we get there,” Su Lin said, nodding.

The car fell silent for a moment. Zhao Yanyan wished she could drag Lin Tian out and give him a good scolding for making the situation so awkward. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t be in this predicament.

“That’s okay, Su Lin. I really had something to do. It wasn’t...”

Su Lin interrupted, “No need to explain. Everyone has their things to deal with. Besides, you wouldn’t know much about construction work anyway. As long as they follow the blueprints, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

“Yanyan, don’t be nervous. Su Lin is right. As long as everything is done according to the plan, there won’t be any issues,” Lin Xiaowan reassured.

“Okay,” Zhao Yanyan replied, feeling relieved that Su Lin wasn’t taking the matter too seriously.

“How much longer until it’s completed? Can we open this month?”

Su Lin gave a thumbs-up. “This location is really good, Yanyan. How did you manage to secure it?”

“How else? They begged me to buy it. The owner of this building was also a businessman, but he got hooked on stocks and lost everything. Ended up in debt, so it was a bargain for us,” Zhao Yanyan explained.

Su Lin realized, “I didn’t expect that in Zhongjiang they begged us to buy, and here too. Xiaowan, Yanyan, you two are really lucky.”

“Heh heh! It’s not just luck, you need some skills too,” Lin Xiaowan boasted.

“Exactly, Su Lin, you make it sound too simple,” Zhao Yanyan added.

Su Lin, feeling slightly overwhelmed, thought he might need to assert himself more or else Lin Xiaowan might start taking the lead. Clearing his throat, Su Lin asked, “What about our accommodation, Yanyan? Did you arrange it?”

Zhao Yanyan nodded. “Of course, I did. But I arranged only one apartment with just one bed.”

Su Lin smiled subtly, thinking to himself that she was considerate. “That’s fine, one bed it is.”

Lin Xiaowan, blushing, pretended to be an ostrich. She had been staying with Su Lin for the past few days, almost like an old married couple, sharing a bed every night.

“Ah! But what about Xiaowan?”

“I... I can go to my relatives’ place. Yes, I’ll go there,” Lin Xiaowan suddenly remembered that she was supposed to visit relatives in Donghai. She felt as if Su Lin had led her astray.

“Oh, going to your relatives? That’s good too,” Zhao Yanyan said, not suspecting anything else.

Su Lin sighed internally at their youthfulness. If it were twenty years later, everyone would have easily guessed his intentions.

“Su Lin, Xiaowan, shall we go in and take a look?”

Su Lin nodded. “Sure, let’s go in and check the progress.”

Satisfied with the location in Donghai, Su Lin thought Zhao Yanyan’s business sense wasn’t bad, probably not far behind Lin Xiaowan’s. As for Xia Shiyu, she might be a bit behind.

Xia Shiyu, without any formal business education, had built a fortune worth billions. Now, studying business management in Donghai, who knows how big of a business tycoon she would become in the future.
