Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Please Please (6 more updates and asking for first subscriptions! Asking for monthly tickets!)

Thinking about this, Chen Yan put down his phone, picked up his "game strategy" notebook, and started looking online to see what was needed for a clay sculpture room.

"A larger table. Can be used for clay sculpture."

"A few racks for displaying clay sculpted dolls."

"Tools like a clay sculpture turntable."

"Hmm... also need a sink that can be connected to water for washing hands."

Chen Yan stroked his chin while looking at the list he had jotted down, feeling a bit worried.

Everything else was manageable, but what about the sink...?

Have someone install a water pipe?

But how would the drainage pipes be arranged?

While Chen Yan was pondering over the clay sculpture room, his WeChat chimed again,

"Ding. Ding. Ding."

Chen Yan’s thoughts were interrupted, he put down his pen and picked up his phone, noticing it was still Lu Man messaging him.

"Can you?"

"Urgent."

"Please please~~"

The message came with an emoji of a "cat constantly bowing."

It struck him then, he had forgotten to reply to this jokester’s messages.

But... sorry, the office had just become Boss Qiao Qiao’s.

So Chen Yan responded, "That office is not available. I have another use for it."

Lu Man replied immediately, "Then what should I do~?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment, inevitably remembering Uncle Liu.

Didn’t Uncle Liu have several sets of such office areas?

Since he needed to ask about the water pipe anyway, why not ask about both?

With this in mind, he answered, "Hold on. I’ll ask for you."

Exiting WeChat, Chen Yan opened his contact list and scrolled through.

Now that everyone uses WeChat for communication, making a call felt incredibly troublesome.

After finding Uncle Liu’s number, Chen Yan dialed it.

"Doot... Doot... Doot..."

A moment later, the call connected and Uncle Liu’s hearty voice came through, "Hey, Chen, what’s up? Why’re you looking for me today?"

Hearing Uncle Liu’s voice, Chen Yan was reminded of his father becoming his landlord again.

He spoke with annoyance, "Uncle Liu, you play dirty. We agreed not to expose my company setup, and next thing I know, you sold the building to my dad!"

Hearing this, Uncle Liu was stunned momentarily, then burst into laughter, "Oh boy, oh boy. Hahaha, that is indeed awkward."

Chen Yan "hmphed" and said, "Uncle Liu, don’t you think you should compensate your nephew for pulling such a stunt?"

Uncle Liu, hearty and generous, responded, "No problem. Tell me, what do you want as compensation?"

Chen Yan didn’t dare mention it in the office area; he walked into the general manager’s office before whispering quietly, "I want to install plumbing."

There was a pause on the other end, "What did you say?"

Chen Yan coughed and rephrased, "I want to convert one of my offices into a clay sculpture room. So I need to install water pipes."

Hearing this, Uncle Liu was silent for a bit.

A moment later, he burst out laughing again, "Alright. I have no objections. The building’s yours now anyway. You can modify it however you’d like."

"You don’t know how to do it, do you?"

"I’ll come over and help you out."

"I remember there’s a restroom right next to your spare meeting room? It’s simple then, drill a hole, adjust the angle, and connect the pipes."

Chen Yan hadn’t expected it to be resolved so easily. He said, "Then thanks, Uncle Liu!"

Uncle Liu laughed, "It’s nothing. Anything else?"

Chen Yan answered, smiling, "Actually, there is one more thing."

He then mentioned needing another office area and talked to Uncle Liu about it.

Uncle Liu immediately assured that he indeed had more office space available and could lease it to Chen Yan.

And promised... he definitely wouldn’t sell it to Lao Chen this time!

Chen Yan felt reassured by Uncle Liu’s words.

If another set was sold, his father would suspect that he was scheming with Uncle Liu to dupe him out of money....

After sending Lu Man details about the office space and its price, Chen Yan stood up, informed several senior members, then left for a construction materials market to purchase related equipment and props....

.....

Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t arrive at the company until around three or four in the afternoon.

After arriving, she found the company, other than the working areas, in complete disarray. Some offices were even cordoned off to avoid disrupting the work of the senior members.

Seeing this unusual scene, Yu Qiao Qiao cautiously approached plump Phoenix and asked quietly, "Sister Phoenix, what happened here?"

Phoenix craned her neck, glanced at the still "clanging and banging" clay sculpture room, then whispered to Yu Qiao Qiao, "I’m not too sure myself."

"Chen was fine this morning. He went out at noon, and when he came back, he brought some workers and started demolishing the place."

As she spoke, she paused then added, "I heard they’re getting ready to install plumbing."

Yu Qiao Qiao was baffled, "Installing plumbing in an office? Is he planning to cook at the company?"

Phoenix chuckled, "That I don’t know. You’d have to ask him about it."

As she spoke, she winked at Yu Qiao Qiao, "After all, even if he’s cooking, it’s surely not for me."

Watching the teasing look in Phoenix’s eyes, Yu Qiao Qiao was suddenly embarrassed and flustered.

She hurriedly retorted, "I, I, it wouldn’t be for me either."

Seeing Yu Qiao Qiao panic, Phoenix laughed, "I didn’t say it was for you. Look how nervous you are."

Yu Qiao Qiao puffed her cheeks, holding her breath, her little face blushing even redder. She looked like a boiling kettle, and if there were special effects, steam would definitely be shooting out of her head.

After teasing Yu Qiao Qiao for a bit, Phoenix talked business, "Oh, Qiao Qiao. Chen said to find Lu Man if you come."

"Lu Man just moved here and seems to need some help with something."

"He mentioned he had talked to you about it earlier."

Yu Qiao Qiao obediently nodded, "Okay. I’ll look for Sister Man Man in a bit."

As she finished speaking, she playfully stuck her tongue out at Phoenix and said, "A temp worker indeed. No rights at all, I just got here and already have to go."

Phoenix was amused by Yu Qiao Qiao, she patted her cute little butt, "Off you go, little temp~"

Yu Qiao Qiao, likely never having been this familiar with anyone, covered her little butt and ran out shyly.

Two minutes later, Yu Qiao Qiao found Lu Man’s Celebrity Studio located across the corridor from Chenyu Company.

Since the studio hadn’t yet opened officially and Lu Man was still wearing a mask and sunglasses, nobody was there to gawk.

As she entered the studio, Yu Qiao Qiao curiously peeked inside, only to see Lu Man there, sketching away on a piece of paper.

Yu Qiao Qiao cheerfully called out, "Sister Man Man!"

Lu Man turned around upon hearing the voice.

Seeing Yu Qiao Qiao, she waved happily, "Come, Qiao Qiao. Just in time, I’m a bit undecided here. Help me take a look."

Yu Qiao Qiao walked over, curiously looking at the paper in Lu Man’s hand.

It was a paper... filled with all sorts of strange symbols.

Some were drawn as watermelons, some as chocolates, and others as bananas, buns...

Yu Qiao Qiao looked up at Lu Man, who tapped her head and complained, "Chen isn’t here to help, leaving me to design all by myself. It’s so vexing."

Yu Qiao Qiao asked, "What is this design for?"

Lu Man said, "Office layout."

"Ah?" Yu Qiao Qiao was a little surprised. She couldn’t connect the food depicted on the piece of paper with any layout.

Lu Man pointed at the watermelon and explained, "Look, this is the northeast corner of the office, I plan to make it a rest corner."

"Can put a sofa, fruits, refrigerator there."

She paused, then added, "Just like the rest corner in your company."

Yu Qiao Qiao was puzzled, "Then why is it marked with a watermelon?"

Lu Man proudly raised an eyebrow, "Because I like eating watermelon."

Yu Qiao Qiao nodded, feeling like she understood....

Lu Man then pointed to the chocolate drawn in the center of the paper, saying, "This, right in the middle of the room. I plan to make it like the workstation in your company."

"In the future, when I hire operations support, publicity, fan maintenance staff, they can work there."

Yu Qiao Qiao glanced at the chocolate, feeling a bit peckish.

She swallowed her saliva and asked adorably, "Then why chocolate?"

Lu Man gestured with her hands, "Don’t you think a chocolate’s squares resemble workstations?"

Yu Qiao Qiao looked up, thought for a moment, and felt it really did look like that....

So Sister Man Man is using food to represent the location of items?

With this thought, Yu Qiao Qiao scanned the paper and then pointed to a white, round thing asking, "Sister Man Man. Is that a bun?"

Lu Man smiled and nodded, "Seems like my drawing skills are improving."

Yu Qiao Qiao focused on the bun’s location near the corner by the window, curiously asking, "So does this imply a small cafeteria? Place some snacks so everyone can come and eat when they’re hungry?"

Lu Man coughed, "Not exactly. I was just... drawing and got hungry. Felt like eating a bun...."

After saying this, she looked at Yu Qiao Qiao.

Yu Qiao Qiao looked back at her. ⊙.⊙⊙.⊙

Both of them couldn’t help but start giggling. (✿◡‿◡)

Twenty minutes later...

At a baozi shop near the company, Yu Qiao Qiao and Lu Man sat tucked away in a corner eating soup dumplings.

Lu Man, wearing sunglasses, had unfolded her removed mask and covered her face, occasionally stuffing a bun into her mouth, while simultaneously praising, "The, the buns, quite on point."

Normally obedient and shy Yu Qiao Qiao, confident when it came to eating, proudly declared, "Of course, I took a long time to find this place."

"Before when I was temping, I used to come here every night to buy a couple of buns to eat."

Lu Man looked at her in surprise, "You’ve temped before?"

Yu Qiao Qiao, while stuffing another soup dumpling into her mouth, answered, "Yeah. I temped continuously before I met Chen. Later on, it was Chen... um, who recruited me to the company."

Speaking of Chen, Yu Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but ask, "By the way, Sister Man Man, why wasn’t Chen with you today sorting out the place? He’s a boss too."

Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao broach this topic, Lu Man scratched her head saying, "I... don’t know."

"All he mentioned was that he was busy working on something about a clay sculpture room?"

She then, driven by curiosity, asked, "By the way, what is a clay sculpture room?"

"A clay sculpture room?"

Hearing the name, Yu Qiao Qiao was stunned, then just stood there....
