Reborn in 2000: Starting from Pursuing the Pure High School Beauty Desk Mate Chapter 148 : The Awkward Landlady

Chapter 148: The Awkward Landlady

Chen Fan was stunned for a mont, turning his head to look at the bathroom behind him.

As if afraid that Chen Fan would get angry, Wen Wan quickly explained, "I'm rarely at ho, most of the ti I'm out, so I only use the bathroom during this period in the morning and evening..."

Chen Fan smiled, "It's okay. We can share the bathroom."

"Oh, since we're co-renting, the downstairs living room sofa, refrigerator, and TV, we can both use them. Just treat it like your own ho."

Wen Wan took a deep look at Chen Fan. She felt that this young man with profound eyes must have guessed her current predicant.

He was sympathizing with her.

"Thank you..."

"For the water and electricity bills in the future, we can each pay half."

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Fan to open his mouth, Wen Wan turned and hurried upstairs.

Chen Fan shrugged and returned to the study.

Chen Fan didn't rush to get his luggage out but instead circled the room once before finding the network cable port under the desk.

As he turned to leave, he looked up and saw a banging sound coming from upstairs.

Wen Wan was standing in front of the attic door upstairs, holding a screwdriver in one hand, struggling to disassemble the door lock.

When their eyes t, Wen Wan suddenly felt a bit awkward.

Chen Fan took the initiative to speak, "That... do you need any help?"

"No need."

Wen Wan refused very bluntly, "Do you have sothing to do?"

Chen Fan quickly asked, "I just wanted to ask, can we get internet access at ho?"

Wen Wan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"There's a network cable port, but it's not activated, you need to go to the business office and pay the fee."

"This needs to be activated at the school, right?"

Wen Wan thought about it and nodded, "Yes. The hoowner needs to bring the property certificate and household registration booklet to pay the activation fee."

"Do you need internet access? I'll see if I can find ti to go pay the fee."

"That would be great. I'll give you the money later."

Chen Fan thanked her, his gaze once again falling on the screwdriver in her hand.

"Are you sure you don't need my help?"

"No need. I can do it myself."

Chen Fan nodded and returned to the study.

Wen Wan stood at the door in silence for a few seconds before taking a deep breath again, bending down to focus on disassembling the door lock.

In the study, Chen Fan shook his head with a wry smile.

He had just moved in, and this woman had already started changing the locks. Not willing to wait a mont.

It seed that she had no trust in him at all.

If it weren't for her urgent need for money, Chen Fan estimated that this woman would have had no dealings with him at all.

Sensing her distance, Chen Fan stayed in the study all night, trying to go out as little as possible.

Outside, it took Wen Wan nearly an hour to finally get the new lockset installed.

Afterwards, she spent the night packing her belongings and moving all her personal items upstairs.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that she finished.

The next morning when Chen Fan got up, Wen Wan had already left.

There was a note posted on the bathroom door.

It said that her things had been moved out of the master bedroom, and Chen Fan could move in there.

Nice handwriting.

Chen Fan comnted.

Looking at the won's toiletries arranged in the bathroom, Chen Fan was sowhat amused.

Was this woman trying to draw a clear line between them?

Even the placent of her makeup and toothbrush only occupied half of the space, leaving the other half empty, clearly left for him.

Thinking about her behavior last night, Chen Fan estimated that the co-renting situation probably wouldn't be too pleasant.

He even regretted renting this place on impulse.

"Sigh, let's wait and see. If it really doesn't work out, I can just move back to the dorm."

He didn't eat breakfast in the morning but went straight to et Ding Dian.

As soon as they t, Chen Fan handed him a red envelope.

"Happy New Year."

"Thank you, boss."

Receiving the red envelope, Ding Dian was obviously very happy.

Afterwards, the two discussed business.

Chen Fan hoped the construction site could start work before the Lantern Festival and be completed by the end of March.

"Only two more months left?"

Ding Dian frowned slightly: "The schedule is a bit tight, so we may need to hire so more workers."

"You'll need to spend more money."

Chen Fan nodded, "Money is not a problem."

"Then it's fine."

Chen Fan's requirent was for all the projects except the haunted house to open in early April.

Chen Fan was not sure how much ti was left before the demolition of the West City area, so he had to hurry to open for business and earn money every day he could.

Ding Dian brought up the issue of recruitnt again.

She said that over the past few days, a few calls had trickled in, but most of them were just inquiries.

Chen Fan told her that if there were any more calls, she should ask them to leave their contact information, and they would be notified of the interview ti later on.

At the end of the eting, Ding Dian joked: "I'm just a designer, but now I'm like your servant, even having to help you with recruitnt."

"Doesn't Boss Chen need to give a raise?"

Chen Fan was very generous, "No problem. After the project is completed, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope bonus separately."

Ding Dian shook her head with a smile.

"Never mind, the compensation you gave before was already very generous."

On the 8th day of the new year, the dorm building reopened.

Luo Wenjie, the second brother in the dorm, had returned.

In the evening, Chen Fan and Luo Wenjie drank together at a small restaurant outside.

Since only Ma Xiaoshuai had a phone, Luo Wenjie called him.

When Ma Xiaoshuai heard that the two were out drinking and dining together, he was so envious that he wanted to drive over from ho imdiately.

The three of them chatted on the phone while drinking until late at night.

When returning that night, Chen Fan didn't want to disturb Wen Wan, so he went back to the dorm with Luo Wenjie instead.

While going to sleep, Chen Fan told Luo Wenjie that he had rented a place outside and might need to move out and live there for a while.

The reason Chen Fan gave was that he needed to focus on writing so things and was preparing to expand his business.

Luo Wenjie didn't think too much about it, only saying that if Chen Fan left, and he was the only one left in the dorm, he might as well just move to an internet cafe and stay up all night.

The next morning, after having breakfast with Luo Wenjie, that guy couldn't wait to run off to the internet cafe.

Chen Fan, on the other hand, went to the faculty apartnt building.

Using his key, he opened the door, but Wen Wan was not ho.

However, there was a note posted on the study room door.

Wen Wan had left a ssage saying that she had already helped pay the fee to activate the broadband internet, and Chen Fan could use it directly.

Below, she had also kindly written down the account and password.

"Didn't expect the beautiful lady to be so efficient."

Chen Fan smiled, took down the note, and thought he would need to buy a computer.

Over the next few days, Chen Fan and Wen Wan seed to have an unspoken agreent that whenever one of them was ho, the other would absolutely not be there.

Even at night, Chen Fan spent most of his ti hiding in the study room, leaving the living room space for Wen Wan.

He would only co out to shower and brush his teeth after hearing the sound of her closing the door upstairs when she was done showering and getting ready.

At first, Wen Wan didn't notice this, but after several consecutive days, she realized that Chen Fan was deliberately creating space for her to move around.

This small act touched her.

At the sa ti, she felt a bit embarrassed.

It seed like she had taken advantage of his kindness.

The house was rented to him, but now it was as if Chen Fan could only hide in the small study room with no freedom to move around.

After thinking it over, Wen Wan decided to talk to Chen Fan.

So that night, she mustered the courage to knock on Chen Fan's door.

The study room door opened, revealing Chen Fan's sowhat surprised expression.

"Is there sothing?"

Wen Wan's gaze swept over the study room, and she noticed that a computer had been added to the bookshelf, with the screen on.

This young man seed to have been playing on the computer in the study room all this ti.

"You bought a computer?"

"Yeah."

Chen Fan smiled, "Did you need to see about sothing?"

"Do you have ti now? I want to talk to you."
