My Arrangements, How About Yours
"This... this girl has been fooled. Her boss really can date her?" Mr. Bai stood there, his expression shifting. "It's just a fling."
"Don't say that." Bai's mother stared intently at the figure in the distance, and at Bai Jingyi nestled beside her.
Her daughter, her face flushed and her eyes filled with admiration, was looking up at the person beside her.
It seems that he is all she thinks about.
"It's not her fault at all," she suddenly blurted out.
"What? What are you talking about?" Mr. Bai frowned.
As they were talking, a figure approached from afar, exuding an aura that was immediately apparent with every gesture.
The anger that Bai's father had been building up suddenly dissipated, turning into stammering and awkwardness.
"Chairman Zhang, these are my parents. They insisted on coming along to see us," Bai Jingyi introduced, standing to the side somewhat shyly. "Please don't mind."
"No, not at all." Zhang Yang smiled, extending his hand in greeting, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, my surname is Zhang, and I'm Bai Jingyi's boss."
The couple exchanged a glance, and it was Bai's mother who reached out her hand first.
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your trouble, my daughter. The real reason we're here is..."
"You're a little worried about Bai Jingyi and wanted to come see her, right?" Zhang Yang smiled. "Bai is doing very well, quite capable, and willing to learn from me. She's doing quite well."
Bai Jingyi listened to the praise with a delighted expression.
"That's not what I meant." Mr. Bai took a deep breath and spoke despite the imposing atmosphere in front of him. "Jingyi is, after all, a girl. We're worried about her working alone out there. This time... we still hope she can go back to develop her career."
"Dad!" Bai Jingyi exclaimed anxiously from the side.
"Jingyi, let your father finish speaking." Bai's mother stepped forward and gently patted her daughter to comfort her.
"Mr. Zhang, at least she can go back An An a peaceful life. She can have three meals a day at home, she doesn't have to live in an apartment, she can..." Mr. Bai spoke earnestly, expressing his true feelings.
As for the others,
"Uncle, this kind of life you're talking about... doesn't seem very appealing, does it?" Zhang Yang listened with amusement. "Isn't it just a life that's been arranged for you? Coincidentally... I also just happened to arrange one for Bai Jingyi... Jingyi."
He looked at Bai Jingyi.
"Chairman Zhang... please speak." Bai Jingyi quickly stepped forward.
"Do you know why I called you here today?" Zhang Yang smiled. "I've been thinking for a while that living in an apartment wasn't quite right for you, so I showed you a place here."
"Ah?"
"Looking at houses?" The people present were instantly stunned.
"Chairman Zhang, do you want me to move to another place?" Bai Jingyi clung to Zhang Yang's arm, still a little confused. "Actually, there's no need. I'm quite happy where I am now, and I've gotten used to it."
"Are you crazy?" Zhang Yang chuckled. "Be my assistant, and you're constantly renting a place? I mean, I'll give you an apartment."
"Give me a house!?" Bai Xiaomi's heart raced; she couldn't believe it.
"Mr. Zhang, you... you're going to give my daughter a house?" Mrs. Bai felt it was unreal. "It means it's in your name, so she can live there temporarily?"
Because of past experience, although Bai Jingyi was nominally driving the car, it was actually registered under the company's name.
That's why she asked that question.
Besides, she didn't dare to even think about it. How delusional would she have to be to believe someone would actually give her a house?
"Auntie, you might not know me." Zhang Yang casually waved his hand, and the saleswoman who had been waiting in the distance immediately jogged over. "Since it's a gift for her, it should definitely be registered in her name. Hmm, the budget is under 30 million. You can go with the saleswoman to look at the houses first, and if you like them, then place your order."
"Thirty million? In her name!?" Mother Bai felt a jolt of electricity run through her body.
The father, standing to the side, also stammered, as if he were in a dreamlike state.
"This... this is unacceptable, this is unacceptable..."
What kind of life did the couple plan for Bai Jingyi? Nothing more than going back and arranging a stable, respectable nine-to-five job for her. Although she wouldn't become rich and powerful, she would be under their watchful eyes and have everything taken care of.
Then, she'll find a respectable family to marry into.
At most, they might buy a small house worth one or two million yuan before the marriage, and a car worth one or two hundred thousand yuan as a dowry.
That's pretty much it.
But this person in front of me offered to provide a 30 million yuan house right off the bat... How can we compare? How can we even be considered to be in a competition?
The difference between heaven and earth is beyond compare.
"Clothing, food, housing, and transportation—I'll buy her Chanel, Gucci, and LV for Black Pearl, take her to Michelin, and she'll live in this small house worth thirty million. As for transportation, I'll transfer that Porsche 911 to her later." Zhang Yang chuckled as he looked at Bai's father. "Uncle, how does what I've arranged for Xiaobai compare to what you've done?"
"This... this... this is simply..." Father Bai wrung his hands, forcing a dry laugh, stammering, unable to speak. "No, no, we can't compare..."
At this moment, Bai Xiaomi was already stunned by the sudden happiness.
"Really?! You're really going to buy me a house!" she exclaimed, her face flushed with excitement. "Chairman Zhang, why are you so kind to me?"
"When have I ever mistreated you?" Zhang Yang said with a smile, pinching Bai Xiaomi's nose.
"Chairman Zhang is the best to me." Bai Xiaomi excitedly hugged Zhang Yang's arm, her heart filled with sweetness. "Jingyi, Jingyi is willing to be your little assistant for life."
Overwhelmed with emotion, she even gave him a passionate kiss in public.
The sales staff around them stood by, smiling and looking on with envy, as if they were experiencing the same thing.
Did this girl save the galaxy in her past life? How could she win the favor of such a god-like man?
The Bai family parents just stood there dumbfounded, their prepared words completely swallowed back down.
At this moment, he couldn't utter a single word of "no".
"Alright, let's go see your house?" Zhang Yang said with a smile, feeling the infinite tenderness in Bai Xiaomi kiss.
"Yes, Chairman Zhang, I want you to watch it with me." Bai Xiaomi nodded deeply and hugged Zhang Yang's waist.
"What do you think?" Zhang Yang said with amusement. "Alright, let's invite your parents along."
A moment later, the group went to see the house.
With a budget of 30 million, you can buy a three-bedroom apartment of about 140 square meters in China Overseas Jianguo Lane.
There's not much to say about the apartment layout; it has three bedrooms and two living rooms. The apartment is delivered fully furnished, featuring high-end bathroom fixtures from brands like Dornbracht, Villeroy & Boch & Boch, and TOTO. The kitchen is custom-made with Gaggenau, and is fully equipped with a refrigerator, oven, steam oven, and wine cabinet.
The entire house is also equipped with 3M water purifier, Daikin fresh air system, Vaillant underfloor heating, etc.
These features didn't really impress Zhang Yang. After all, he was used to seeing luxury homes, and this house was just so-so in his eyes. Plus, with a size of 140 square meters, it was just a house to him.
But... that's just his opinion.
But in Bai Xiaomi's eyes, and in her parents' eyes, this place was simply...
The house is priced at 30 million, located in a prime location in Xintiandi, with top-notch interior decoration throughout, and boasts a large area of 140 square meters.
Yes, in the eyes of ordinary people, apart from those large single-level apartments and villas, 140 square meters is considered a large area! A large area enough for a whole family to live in.
Of course, they dared not reveal their intention to come and stay.
"You like it, right?" Zhang Yang asked, looking at Bai Xiaomi's overjoyed expression.
"Chairman Zhang, I love it here! It's so close to Xintiandi, right? It'll be so convenient for shopping in the future." Bai Xiaomi's eyes sparkled as she happily took out her phone and started snapping photos everywhere.
"Close? Yes, it's not far at all." Zhang Yang didn't know much about the neighborhood, only that it was in the Xintiandi area, the subway station was nearby, and the supporting facilities were excellent, so it was quite convenient.
"If you like it, then you can place the order."
A house worth less than 30 million, after using the 10% off property voucher given by the system, will only cost less than 3 million.
It was just a drizzle.
He hadn't originally planned to buy Bai Xiaomi a house so soon. After all, a house is different from giving a car or various bags and clothes; it has a special meaning.
However, Bai Xiaomi was lucky; he just happened to get this 10% off property voucher, and the condition for using it was that the property cost no more than 30 million.
Then I'll just deliver it.
"I love it, I love it so much..." Bai Xiaomi said, hugging Zhang Yang's waist.
"Then let's stop looking and go to the sales office," Zhang Yang said, waving his hand.
The salesperson who had been following closely behind immediately beamed and led the way.
A moment later, at the sales office of China Overseas Jianguo Lane.
I've received the purchase contract.
Zhang Yang also secured a parking space for Bai Xiaomi in the 139-square-meter apartment, since it was still within the scope of the 10% discount coupon.
Bai Jingyi sat to the side, her cheeks flushed as she signed her name.
"Mr. Zhang, here's your purchase invoice." The salesperson eagerly handed over the purchase invoice for the property and parking space that Zhang Yang had just paid in full for.
"Keep it," Zhang Yang casually handed it to Bai Xiaomi. "You'll need it when you get the property certificate."
Mr. and Mrs. Bai sat to the side, not daring to utter a sound.
Because by this moment, everything had become a reality; the house had indeed been bought, and Bai Jingyi's name was on the deed.
What kind of financial resources does this exactly represent?
Thirty million, without even blinking an eye, could it be that his net worth is in the hundreds of millions?
Such a remarkable and wealthy man, yet he dotes on his own daughter so much—this is truly a blessing bestowed upon Bai Jingyi in her past life. At this moment, how could they dare to have any other thoughts?
Bai Jingyi happily finished writing the purchase contract, put away the receipts, and even took the house keys.
As for the property certificate and such, there's no rush to get it later.
"There's still so much furniture to buy." Bai Jingyi hugged Zhang Yang happily, and they started planning how to decorate the house.
"Actually, I've already bought you a house, so furnishing and equipping it with appliances is a piece of cake," Zhang Yang said with a smile. "But I still need to motivate you. You'll have to work hard to buy the furniture yourself. However, I'm not asking you to save up enough money to buy the furniture, but rather to perform well."
Bai Jingyi listened attentively from the side.
"You did a good job, and your reward next time will be a whole house of furniture and appliances," Zhang Yang said with a smile, stroking Bai Xiaomi's hair.
The furniture and appliances he mentioned for the whole house were certainly not the kind that could be easily bought for a few hundred thousand yuan; they would cost at least several million yuan. Where would Bai Jingyi earn several million yuan?
So, shouldn't we go to even greater lengths to please our boss?
"Okay, Chairman Zhang, I will definitely do my best." Upon hearing this, Bai Jingyi's eyes instantly lit up with fighting spirit.
She will definitely work hard and do her job as a junior assistant well, and try her best to solve problems for her boss.
"Okay, you can rest today and spend some time with your parents." Zhang Yang nodded to Mr. and Mrs. Bai. "Uncle and Aunt, I have things to do at the company, so I can't stay with you for now."
Mr. and Mrs. Bai quickly stood up.
"You're busy, you're busy."
"Hmm." Zhang Yang got up to leave.
Bai Xiaomi immediately stood up. "Let me see you off, Chairman Zhang."
The two left temporarily, one after the other.
The Bai family couple sat on the sofa, looked at each other, their eyes filled with mixed emotions.
"Don't look at me, what else can I say?" Mr. Bai took a deep breath. "He just threw in thirty million, a car, a house, and what's the point of talking about going back to work? I don't even have the face to mention my arrangements to Mr. Zhang."
"It's a blessing for Jingyi that someone like Mr. Zhang has taken a liking to her," Mrs. Bai sighed softly. "But while Mr. Zhang treats her with sincerity, he may not truly be able to give her a future..."
"Well... as for marrying into wealth and status, our family doesn't seem to be qualified, does it?" Mr. Bai chuckled awkwardly, showing considerable self-awareness.
Bai Jingyi suddenly returned and sat down beside her.
"What are you talking about? What future?"
The couple exchanged a glance.
Mr. Bai remained silent, but Mrs. Bai hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Jingyi, tell me, have you ever thought about your future while you've been following Mr. Zhang around? Mr. Zhang probably can't give you a future, can he?"
"Mom, the future you're talking about... isn't it... marriage?" Bai Jingyi laughed. "You're still looking at things from an ordinary person's perspective. Don't you think about what marriage is for? With how good Mr. Zhang is to me, what's a little marriage? Besides, Mr. Zhang even said..."
Her face flushed, and her eyes seemed to be filled with happiness.
"What else did he say?" Bai's mother asked curiously, leaning closer.
Unable to hide her feelings, Bai Jingyi secretly leaned close to her mother's ear and whispered something.
Upon hearing this, Bai's mother's eyes widened. "Did President Zhang really say that?"
"Yes, he told me that himself." Bai Jingyi nodded gently, her face flushed.
"Oh dear." Mother Bai slapped her thigh, beaming with joy. "You should have told me sooner! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have worried so much... By the way, you need to try your best. I have a folk remedy from my hometown that makes it easier to have a boy... I'll come and try it on you later."
The mother and daughter spoke softer and softer, while the father, standing nearby, was completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.
Later that evening, Zhang Yang received a message from Bai Xiaomi while he was in the car.
Yes, a whole string of heartfelt thanks and such.
Finally, Bai Xiaomi hesitantly mentioned that her parents would be leaving that afternoon and asked when he would be going over.
Zhang Yang asked her what she did in the past.
Bai Xiaomi simply replied with a flower-watering emoji.
"Watering flowers? Irrigating them?" Zhang Yang muttered to himself, lost in thought.
