Say One Thing, Mean Another (ChatGPT Translated)

Chapter 7, Chapter 7

After 6 o'clock, Chen Zhuo returned to the office. Zou Miao was somewhat surprised when she saw him. After all, he had just answered a phone call and didn't even say a few words. He didn't even have time to eat lunch and suddenly left, disappearing for the whole afternoon.

"After work, why did you come back?" Zou Miao couldn't help but ask.

Chen Zhuo replied, "I just finished my work and had nothing else to do, so I came back to take a look."

Zou Miao said, "Don't you find it troublesome?" As the boss, Zou Miao herself couldn't quite understand.

Chen Zhuo explained, "I recently rented a house nearby, so it's convenient for me to drop by."

Zou Miao had heard before that Chen Zhuo, like her, was not a local. He had just graduated and didn't provide accommodation, so the other party had to rent a house.

What she didn't expect was that he actually rented a place nearby. From the tone of his voice, it seemed like a recent decision, indicating that he really made the choice to take care of work.

However, this area was a mature community, and although it wasn't a commercial district, it was relatively bustling, and the rent for houses was not cheap.

Zou Miao nodded. Well, it seems like he struck gold at home.

In this case, if I can't manage my finances for a while and slightly delay his salary, it shouldn't cause too much trouble in his life.

"Where do you live?" Zou Miao asked.

"1003."

Zou Miao's own two-bedroom apartment is 903. It turns out that Chen Zhuo has been quietly lurking upstairs all this time.

He really is silent.

"You came to work here, is there any ulterior motive?" Zou Miao's face showed a suspicious expression.

"What ulterior motive could I have? Besides, what do you have that's worth my scheming?" The handsome guy's indifferent words left Zou Miao speechless.

Zou Miao suddenly approached and circled around Chen Zhuo with her head tilted.

"I heard that you and I are from the same hometown, have we met before?"

Chen Zhuo looked at Zou Miao directly and carefully observed her expression.

"We are indeed fellow villagers. Is it not good to meet someone from the same hometown in a foreign place?"

Zou Miao: "Sure, so sister will take care of you more in the future."

Upon hearing Zou Miao's words, Chen Zhuo clearly paused for a moment. After a few seconds, he replied, "With your current state, shouldn't you take care of yourself first before taking care of others?"

Zou Miao felt a bit dissatisfied in her heart. She didn't understand why the other person always seemed to intentionally or unintentionally pick on her. After all, she was the boss in charge of the conversation!

The reason she agreed to let Chen Zhuo join was mainly because she valued his appearance.

After all, in the field of emotional counseling, the main audience is women, and having such a handsome guy by her side is like having a living advertisement.

She originally thought he would be a decorative piece she brought in, just for admiration. But before the business even started to develop, this guy changed his previously polite attitude and became more "casual."

Despite being several years younger, he always had a mature and composed demeanor. And from time to time, he would make some sarcastic remarks towards her.
