My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 315: Let’s Live Together

She scooted over towards the center, then leaned forward, tilting her head with her big eyes blinking at Chen Yan, "Me? A new company?"

While driving, Chen Yan said, "It’s a venture capital firm."

"Interested?"

Zhao Ying pulled her head back, uninterested, shaking her head and muttering, "Boring."

Chen Yan smiled; Brother Ying’s response was not unexpected.

However, he had prepared a compelling case and a good pretext before he came.

So he said, "It wasn’t meant for you to play with."

"After all, I’m footing the bill for your food and drinks; I need you to submit an expense report. So, take a position and draw a salary."

Zhao Ying acknowledged with an "Oh," and continued to fiddle with her phone, looking bored.

Yu Qiao Qiao listened and blinked.

Then she helped Zhao Ying ask, "Does Brother Ying just need to hold the title, or does he need to go to work every day?"

Chen Yan continued to drive as he answered, "Either is fine."

"But, it would be best to show up regularly."

"After all, she is the company’s deputy general manager."

"Deputy general manager?!" Yu Qiao Qiao exclaimed in surprise.

Yu Qiao Qiao was genuinely shocked.

Because that position was incredibly high.

Although she didn’t know much about venture capital firms, she understood Chen Yan.

Any company started by Chen Yan was no small venture. It was nothing out of the ordinary for him to invest tens of millions or even billions every year.

And now, for such a large company to offer the position of deputy general manager to Brother Ying?

And she ... to this day was still just a temp....

Although not prone to jealousy, Yu Qiao Qiao inevitably felt a pang of sourness in this situation.

But she concealed her emotions well, not voicing them.

Because she knew Chen Yan must have had his reasons.

She was an understanding girl and shouldn’t question her boyfriend’s arrangements....

Even without "tuning in her inner headphones," Chen Yan clearly sensed the change in Yu Qiao Qiao’s emotions.

He glanced at Yu Qiao Qiao, not letting Boss Qiao Qiao wander in her thoughts, and whipped out the excuse he had ready, "Right."

He questioned Yu Qiao Qiao in return, "Think about it, with Brother Ying’s spending habits, it takes more than a hundred thousand a month. For a startup firm, at what other level of management would you find such high salaries?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qiao Qiao immediately understood.

She nodded, signaling her understanding.

Seeing her get it, Chen Yan then said, "Also, don’t be envious of Brother Ying. Your position is even higher."

"Me?" Yu Qiao Qiao pointed at herself, a bit surprised.

Chen Yan nodded, "Yes, you."

"Don’t forget, you’re going to help me with the charity work. Since you’ll be taking on responsibility all by yourself, I certainly won’t keep you as a temp worker."

"Come be the head of the Charity Organization."

"As for the specifics, whether it’s setting up a welfare institution or a foundation, I’ll look into finding someone to handle it."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao quickly waved him off, "Me? I can’t do that!"

She said, "Chen Yan, I ... I don’t understand any of it. I can’t help you with this."

She continued, "Just let me join the Charity Organization and do my part. Really."

Yu Qiao Qiao was indeed taken aback.

She might have felt a bit envious of Brother Ying, but it was a simple envy. Now, before she knew it, Chen Yan had offered her a higher position.

This truly startled her.

Moreover, her envy of Brother Ying was like watching another child enjoy an ice cream; she simply envied them having something wonderful, not wanting to taste it herself. She knew she couldn’t...

Chen Yan explained, "Don’t rush to conclusions."

"Let me give you the rationale."

Chen Yan slowed down the car a bit, then explained,

"Qiao Qiao, you are the person I trust the most. I’m so busy all the time, if I handed the Charity Organization over to a stranger, I would never feel at ease. If not properly managed, the Charity Organization’s funds could end up in the wrong pockets or fail to reach those who need help the most."

"Wouldn’t I be doing more harm than good?"

"So, I hope that you can help me manage all of this."

He said, "Only you can give me the peace of mind to do charity work."

"And I’m not asking you to set up the Charity Organization right now."

"You still have a year before your senior internship."

"This year, you should learn the ropes along with the other people in the organization."

"Then in your senior year, come help me manage it."

With that, Chen Yan asked Brother Ying who was sitting behind him, "What do you think? Is my arrangement satisfactory, Brother Ying?"

Brother Ying, playing with his phone, simply responded, "Satisfactory!"

Yu Qiao Qiao playfully rolled her eyes at Brother Ying, feeling a bit disgruntled.

However, she also felt Chen Yan’s arrangement wasn’t really an issue...

Especially since Chen Yan said she was the person he trusted the most, making Yu Qiao Qiao’s heart sweet as honey.

Seeing her reaction, Chen Yan seized the moment, "In addition, to make it convenient for you to manage, I’ll also give you a stake in the organization."

"Not much, just around 5%. It’s just to give you an official capacity."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qiao Qiao gasped and gestured dismissively, "I don’t need that. I just want to do this well for you." freewebnøvel.com

Chen Yan waved it off and said, "There’s no use arguing with me about this."

"The Charity Organization isn’t for profit. The shares are symbolic and won’t distribute money to you, so what is there to argue about?"

At this, Chen Yan asked Brother Ying again, "Right? Brother Ying."

Without looking up, Brother Ying said, "Right."

Yu Qiao Qiao: ...

Here it comes, come again!

Yu Qiao Qiao really started to wonder if Zhao Ying had been covertly bought off, otherwise, why would she always side with Chen Yan?

Yu Qiao Qiao suddenly thought about the position Chen Yan arranged for Zhao Ying...

Oh...Not covertly bought off at all. More like quite openly.

Qiao Qiao clutched herself, feeling overwhelmed, no match for the two Demon Kings...

And so, with Brother Ying’s agreement and Qiao Qiao’s tacit consent, the matters of both companies were settled.

Soon, the car arrived at Yu Qiao Qiao’s residential complex.

The house wasn’t far from the company, but because there was a one-way street on Qin Island University’s route, it took a longer detour.

The complex was new, with great green spaces and lush trees everywhere.

Upon entering the complex and parking the car, Chen Yan helped the two ladies carry their things upstairs.

Fortunately, there was an elevator in the complex, so moving wasn’t strenuous.

Once inside the home, the small house was revealed to all three for the first time.

Property prices on Qin Island weren’t high; this apartment, worth more than 2.6 million, covered a spacious 80 square meters.

The layout was compact, but it was a three-bedroom with a living room, kitchen, and bathroom.

Minus the seldom-needed dining room, the structure of the house was quite remarkable.

It came fully furnished too, only lacking some appliances. Since the appliances at the villa had yet to be installed, they could be purchased later.

Chen Yan looked around while moving the stuff, thinking the place was quite nice.

After finishing the chores, Yu Qiao Qiao poured Chen Yan a glass of water, then tenderly wiped his sweat away and said, "Chen Yan, thanks for your hard work."

Chen Yan said with a smile, "It’s no trouble. At the service of Queen Qiao Qiao."

Hearing Chen Yan mention that nickname again, Yu Qiao Qiao blushed slightly, then asked, "So when... will you come to live here?"

As she said this, Yu Qiao Qiao looked up at Chen Yan, a hint of something else in her eyes...

Chen Yan glanced down at her, then took a peek at Zhao Ying yawning on the sofa and murmured, "It’s not convenient for me to come if Brother Ying is living here."

A flash of understanding crossed Yu Qiao Qiao’s eyes.

Right. She had forgotten about Brother Ying...

Ever since Chen Yan mentioned this house would be her home, she had been dreaming about living here with Chen Yan...

After all, a home is more than just a house. It’s about living with the person you love.

Her heart was set on living here with Chen Yan, but she had forgotten that they’d agreed to "take in" Zhao Ying.

Embarrassed, she lowered her head and whispered, "I forgot~ Let’s leave it at that~~"

Saying this, she looked up at Chen Yan again, "But you need to visit me often, okay?"

Chen Yan tousled her hair, amused, "You’re on vacation, little cutie."

"You’ll always be at the company."

"And help me start the Charity Organization."

"We almost spend every day together."

Yu Qiao Qiao chuckled again, bashfully. She felt a bit silly...

While they were talking, Brother Ying, full of curiosity, looked over and asked, "What are you whispering about?"

Chen Yan snapped back to the moment and said with a smile, "Nothing, it’s nothing."

Brother Ying tilted her head and asked, "Thinking about living together?"

She said, "I don’t mind."

"Chen Yan can join us too."

"It’s perfect, I’m supposed to teach you martial arts!"

Chen Yan: ???

——————

"We almost spend every day together."

Yu Qiao Qiao smiled sheepishly again, feeling indeed a little silly...

But as the two talked, Brother Ying, with a gossiping expression, looked over and asked, "What are you whispering about?"

Chen Yan recovered and casually said, "Nothing, it’s nothing."

Brother Ying tilted her head and then said, "Are you considering cohabitation?"

She said, "I don’t mind, you know."

"Let Chen Yan come over too."

"After all, I’ll be teaching you martial arts, right?"

Chen Yan: ???

"We almost spend every day together."

Yu Qiao Qiao giggled self-consciously again. She really seemed a little goofy...

While they were talking, Brother Ying looked over with a gossipy face and asked, "What secret are you two discussing?"

Chen Yan snapped back and said with a grin, "Nothing, it’s nothing."

Brother Ying cocked her head and then said, "Is it about moving in together?"

She said, "I wouldn’t mind."

"Chen Yan is welcome to join."

"Besides, I am going to teach you martial arts!"

Chen Yan: ???
