Chapter 103 Gift 2
Since Su Qing has already extended an invitation.
Huang Min then opened the car door and followed. As they walked towards the building entrance, Huang Min asked, "How much is the monthly rent here?!"
"Thirteen thousand"
Hearing Su Qing casually mention that number, Huang Min was stunned for a long time before laughing, "I always thought you were quite smart, but I never expected you to have such a silly side..."
It's still incredibly hot outside today.
However, autumn has already begun, and it's already the end of August. The heat will only last for about twenty more days. By mid-to-late September, it will gradually become cooler in the mornings and evenings. Huang Min continued, "Now, with prices around 8,000 yuan per square meter, you can choose a nice neighborhood, or even a school district property."
"Why would I need a house in a good school district? I don't plan to get married or have children."
After the two entered the elevator, Su Qing replied, "Don't try to force your outdated ideas on me. Everyone has their own thoughts. Even if you fall in love, you'll eventually break up. Even if you get married, you might get divorced over a disagreement. Instead of wasting time on these things, it's better not to think about them in the first place."
"Don't you have any physical needs?!"
Huang Min asked.
"I don't think I ever appeared."
Su Qing's voice was very calm.
"You might have a problem."
Huang Min replied seriously.
He wasn't saying Su Qing was sick on purpose, but that a normal person would have physiological reactions no matter what. Just like himself, ever since he finished filming "The Terror Live" and couldn't help with the promotional tour, he stayed at home polishing the script for the upcoming filming, and he would have strong desires in the morning and evening.
Especially during this period, whether it was from exercising in the morning or doing ten sets of push-ups in my room before going to bed at night, that urge became stronger and stronger.
In contrast, Su Qing, who was in her early thirties, did not have any.
In this situation, it's either a physiological or psychological problem. Hearing Huang Min say this, Su Qing shrugged indifferently: "I think it's fine not to. That kind of thing is boring, unnecessary, troublesome, and especially dirty."
"Dirty!?"
Huang Min paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "You're right, it really is dirty."
The elevator doors opened.
Huang Min followed Su Qing forward, asking, "Would you feel joy because of a promotion and a raise?"
"nonsense"
Su Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes: "I'll not only feel joy, I'll be very excited. How about you give me a raise and see how it goes?"
"I think it's better not to."
Huang Min flatly refused.
Now that the company is up and running, with so many fixed expenses every month, and only one successful film for the time being, even if we want to add more, the company needs to have another stable source of revenue. Otherwise, the more than 200 million yuan earned from "The Terror Live" won't last long.
Su Qing's single apartment, which cost over 10,000 yuan a month, was indeed quite nice. When he first entered, Huang Min noticed that the green area of the community was very large, and there was a fountain in the center, which was probably only turned on at night. Now, after entering the corridor, the floor was quite clean and there was a faint jasmine fragrance, which proved that the property management of this single apartment even mixed some scented laundry detergent when mopping the floor.
"Move aside, I need to enter the room key code."
Seeing that Huang Min wouldn't agree to give her a raise, Su Qing didn't insist. It wasn't the right time for Dongsheng Film Studio to give her a raise yet.
Huang Min turned his back very sensibly.
Contrary to Huang Min's expectations, he had assumed that Su Qing's rented studio apartment would have a similar structure to his own, with two units per floor. In reality, it had a long corridor like a hotel, with several doors in the middle, presumably occupied by other single white-collar or gold-collar workers.
The door opened, and Huang Min followed Su Qing inside. What came into view was a luxuriously decorated living room with a two-seater dining table. Next to the dining table was the cooking area, and next to that was a room. Huang Min peeked inside and instantly realized why the rent could be so expensive.
The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer a breathtaking view of the distant scenery.
The room was enormous. Huang Min looked away and asked, "Is this a move-in ready place?!"
"And what do you think?"
Su Qing countered with a question, and without waiting for Huang Min to say anything more, she directly stated, "Not only can you move in immediately after picking up your belongings, but if you need cleaning done, just register."
Huang Min took the instant black coffee brewed by Su Qing and sat down at the dining table in the living room to drink it. The room was well-lit, including the living room, although it was a bit sunny at this time of day. A large balcony extended out from the living room.
Su Qing pulled a dress out of a bag and asked, "How is it!?"
My sister will definitely love it.
Huang Min didn't know much about the beauty or ugliness of girls' clothes, especially his own sister's.
"Besides your sister, I also bought something for Xu Li, who lives at your house..."
Su Qing hadn't finished speaking.
Her phone rang. Su Qing took it out and looked at the caller ID. Her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly. Seeing Su Qing's reluctant expression, Huang Min asked with a smile, "It's not your boyfriend..." At this point, Huang Min suddenly remembered that his partner not only didn't have a boyfriend, but was also a rather aloof woman.
Su Qing glanced at Huang Min, and finally clicked to connect.
"Something wrong!?"
As soon as Su Qing finished asking her question, it seemed the other person said something, and she said with displeasure, "Who told you to come? And why didn't you tell me you were coming? So what if you're my brother?! Don't you know I find you really annoying?! Alright, the high-speed rail station, right?! I know, I'll come pick you up right away. If you're worried about getting lost, just buy a ticket and go back. I only have one bed here, there's nowhere for you to stay. There's no sofa in the living room, and no mat for sleeping on the floor. You'll have to stay at a hotel."
I hung up the phone.
Su Qing rubbed her brows in distress.
"Your own brother!?"
Huang Min asked curiously.
"no"
Su Qing shook her head: "My parents said they picked them up from the trash can. I'm sorry, I can't take you back now. I have to go pick up my brother; he'll be arriving soon. Please take the two pieces of clothing back to your sister and Xu Li."
"it is good"
Huang Min finished the black coffee that Su Qing had brewed, picked up the bag, and left Su Qing's house. Su Qing's voice came from behind him: "I'll go with you. I'll take you to the bus stop on the east side of the community. There's bus number 8 there that goes directly to Zhongwu Road. It runs every ten minutes or so, which is faster than taking a taxi or waiting for a ride."
Since Su Qing had said so, Huang Min gave up the idea of taking a taxi.
At the bus stop.
Just as Su Qing had said, the No. 8 bus had many services. Huang Min, wearing a mask and carrying two bags, didn't even have to wait two minutes before the bus arrived.
Once on the bus, seeing that there were still empty seats for the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, Huang Min plopped down in one of them.
We've arrived at the next stop.
The bus stopped, and several people got on. A girl was squeezed to stand next to Huang Min. At first, Huang Min didn't notice her until the bus had been moving for a while and the girl reached out and wiped her eyes.
