I keep scrolling through Douyin's treasure chests; they're showing me their loyalty.

Chapter 143 Baby's Registration

She felt a little uneasy when she asked that question.

Such a nice house must be expensive to rent.

After all, this house might not be considered very good for Yang Shen, but its location is excellent. Just two streets to the south is the Zhonghai Conservatory of Music, and it only takes an hour to walk there and back, making it convenient for Tongtong to go to school.

The area is surrounded by major shopping malls, subway stations, and hospitals.

In this prime location, a house like this would cost at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month. It would be a bit of a strain to rent one myself, and it would also be a waste, since a two-bedroom apartment would be enough, but this is a three-bedroom, two-living-room layout.

Seeing her expectant yet apprehensive expression, Ning Xiuyang smiled and said, "Three thousand a month, how about that?"

"Three thousand?"

Tong Anjin was taken aback, thinking she had misheard. "Mr. Ning, you said three thousand... yuan?"

"Mm." Ning Xiuyang nodded.

Tong Anjin could hardly believe her ears.

How could such a large house with such nice decor only cost three thousand yuan a month in a place like Zhonghai?

She bit her lip and whispered, "Mr. Ning, you...you must have miscalculated? This house...how could it only cost three thousand yuan?"

"You calculated correctly." Ning Xiuyang smiled and said, "It's not good for this house to stay empty all the time. The rent is not important to me. As long as someone lives here, it can help maintain the house. I usually don't come here. I had forgotten about it before. If you hadn't mentioned it in your live stream last night, I wouldn't have remembered that there was a house here."

Ning Xiuyang pretended to be casual.

But Tong Anjin was shocked when she heard this.

Such a large house would cost at least tens of millions in China Overseas.

Yang Shen, however, was so nonchalant; had he almost forgotten?

He must be incredibly rich!

Shocked, her eyes reddened slightly.

She knew that Ning Xiuyang was taking care of her.

"Mr. Ning, thank you so much," Tong Anjin said, her voice choked with emotion. "You've been so kind to me."

"Don't be so polite." Ning Xiuyang waved his hand and smiled, "To put your mind at ease, let's stick to business. If you think it's suitable, let's sign the contract. By the way, the deposit is waived; you can just pay the rent monthly."

Tong Anjin nodded vigorously, and tears finally streamed down her face.

She's been under a lot of pressure lately: her landlord is pressuring her to move out, her daughter is ill, and her livestreaming income is unstable...

She spends every day in anxiety, fearing that one day she won't be able to hold on any longer.

Now, Ning Xiuyang is like a ray of light shining into her gloomy life.

"Mr. Ning, I... I really don't know how to thank you." Tong Anjin wiped away her tears, her voice choked with emotion.

"Do a good job with your live stream and take good care of Tongtong. That's the best way to thank me," Ning Xiuyang said with a smile.

Tong Anjin nodded vigorously, secretly vowing to repay Mr. Ning properly.

The two stayed in the house for a while longer. Ning Xiuyang handed the key to Tong Anjin and said, "Pack your things first. If you need anything, just let me know."

"Okay, Mr. Ning." Tong Anjin took the key and held it carefully in her hand, as if she were holding some precious treasure.

Ning Xiuyang turned to leave, but as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask, "By the way, where's Tongtong? Why didn't she come with you?"

"She has class today. Next time, I'll cook for you so we can get to know each other. I'm just worried my cooking skills aren't good enough." Tong Anjin smiled awkwardly, feeling a little apprehensive.

Throughout the entire process, Yang Shen did not express any covetousness towards him.

I thought he was a kind and virtuous person.

The reason people tip themselves is because they enjoy watching their own live streams.

Now it seems, could he be after his daughter, Tongtong?

Not right either.

He hasn't mentioned having Tongtong do a live stream or talking about Tongtong with me in the past few days. I was just being petty and judging him by my own standards.

"Sure, give me a call if you have a chance, I'll come over." Ning Xiuyang said, then turned and left.

Tong Anjin stood there, watching his back, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

Mr. Ning has been so good to her, she really doesn't know how to repay him.

She bit her lip, secretly thinking, what if Mr. Ning really had feelings for her...

Will she agree?

Tong Anjin shook her head, banishing the thought from her mind.

No, she can't think like that.

Mr. Ning is a good person; she shouldn't use such despicable thoughts to speculate about him.

She took a deep breath, turned around and went back into the house to begin planning her upcoming move.

……

As Ning Xiuyang returned to his car, Qian Baobao immediately asked solicitously, "Mr. Ning, are you done with your business?"

"Okay." Ning Xiuyang nodded and smiled, "Let's go back to Binjiang Garden."

"Okay." Qian Baobao started the car and skillfully drove out of the community.

After driving for a while, Qian Baobao suddenly asked, "Mr. Ning, was that lady... your friend?"

"Well, I guess so," Ning Xiuyang replied casually.

Qian Baobao pursed her lips and didn't ask any more questions.

She was actually quite curious, but she knew that some things shouldn't be asked.

The car quickly returned to Binjiang Garden, and Qian Baobao skillfully parked it in the underground garage.

The two went upstairs together and entered the apartment.

Han Yunmei was tidying up in the living room when she saw them return and immediately came to greet them.

"Master, you're back." Han Yunmei said with a smile, then looked at Qian Baobao, her eyes lighting up, and said warmly, "Baby's here too."

"Sister Yunmei." Qian Baobao greeted her obediently, her face slightly flushed and her eyes sparkling.

She remembered that day when she, Han Yunmei, and several other female anchors drank and played truth or dare at a nightclub, and then came to this mansion to spend the night together.

"Is the contract ready?" Ning Xiuyang asked.

"It's ready." Han Yunmei picked up a document from the coffee table and handed it to Ning Xiuyang.

Ning Xiuyang opened it, looked at it, and then handed it to Qian Baobao: "Take a look. If there are no problems, sign it."

Qian Baobao took the contract and began to read it carefully.

The contract was very simple; it was just a regular labor contract. The job was as a driver, with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, including room and board.

After reading it, Qian Baobao signed her name without hesitation.

"Mr. Ning, thank you," she said with a smile.

"Alright, keep up the good work from now on." Ning Xiuyang patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Your room is over there, go and tidy it up yourself."

"Okay, Mr. Ning." Qian Baobao dragged her suitcase and walked towards the guest room.

Ning Xiuyang sat on the sofa and picked up his phone to scroll through Douyin (TikTok).

Han Yunmei walked over, knelt beside his legs, and asked softly, "Master, would you like something to drink?"

"No need." Ning Xiuyang waved his hand and continued scrolling through his phone.

Not long after, Qian Baobao finished tidying up the room and came out of the guest room.

She changed into loungewear and looked much more relaxed.

"Mr. Ning, I'm all packed," she said with a smile.

"Okay." Ning Xiuyang looked up at her, nodded, and smiled, "You'll be living here from now on. If you need anything, just tell Yunmei."

"Okay, Mr. Ning," Qian Baobao replied obediently.

Just then, Ning Xiuyang's phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was Rong Qing'e.

Ning Xiuyang raised an eyebrow and answered the phone.

"Chairman Ning..." Rong Qing'e's voice came through the receiver, trembling with unease.
