Chapter 805: Chapter 805: The Man Who Fell from the Clouds
He Jingyao originally planned to take them back to Yangdong City, to live at Wanhe Qianfeng Garden or Lugang. However, Zhixi was strongly opposed.
"Yangdong City has Zhuo Yuwei and the Ye Family..." Zhixi frowned and said, "You can’t afford to hire so many bodyguards right now; going back to Yangdong City is unsafe."
He Jingyao chuckled: "Then, should we stay in Yanzhou City? But Hades Manor is a property He Yirong bought for me back then, I’m afraid it might not be convenient to live there."
"No problem, let’s find an apartment to rent," Zhixi said solemnly, "Villas are too expensive, we can’t afford them. Anyway, there are only three of us in the family, and even with Uncle Li it’s just four people, a duplex apartment of about two hundred square meters will be enough."
She thought for a moment and felt a bit sorry: "Duplex apartment rent isn’t cheap either, let’s go for a regular apartment."
A trace of amusement flickered across He Jingyao’s eyes, and he nodded seriously: "You’re right. You hold the financial power in the family now; you decide."
"No problem!" Zhixi agreed emphatically, asking Uncle Li to filter through all suitable apartments in Yanzhou City, earnest in her notebook scribbling and drawing.
Uncle Li hesitated to speak several times, but noticing He Jingyao’s amused gaze, he ultimately gave up.
It wasn’t long before Zhixi found a suitable apartment, having Uncle Li step in and sign the lease with the agent, paying six months’ rent upfront.
When Uncle Li handed her the contract, Zhixi looked at him hesitantly.
"Young Mistress, is there something you need?" Uncle Li’s attitude remained as respectful as ever.
"Uncle Li, you know Jingyao’s current situation..." Zhixi sighed, "Your salary isn’t cheap, and Jingyao and I... might not be able to afford to hire you."
Uncle Li’s expression turned a bit odd.
"Young Mistress, you need not worry, the Young Master pays me once every three years, the next payday is two years away, so I will continue to serve you for at least two more years." He explained.
Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s wonderful... Without your help, I really wouldn’t know what to do."
Uncle Li smoothed his brow and smiled humbly: "It’s my honor."
Who knows how the Young Master misled the Young Mistress... Even if the Young Master has no further association with the He Family, it doesn’t mean he’s suddenly penniless.
In fact, the Young Master’s personal wealth is still an astonishing figure. His property in Yanzhou City certainly isn’t limited to just Hades Manor.
However, Uncle Li would of course never speak out of turn, he diligently tidied up the newly rented apartment.
The next day, after saying goodbye to Liu Minjun and Ziyi, He Jingyao took Zhixi and Xiaobao to move in.
In the meantime, the media continued to speculate endlessly over changes at HI Group, but no amount of speculation could alter the fact of He Jingyao’s complete departure from HI Group, while He Yizheng’s elevation in position drew even more conjecture.
Zhixi browsed the news and Weibo on her phone, marveling at the imagination of the media and netizens.
One report seemed slightly credible, speculating whether the conflict between He Jingyao and the Ye Family had alarmed the HI Group board of directors, leading them to unanimously exclude He Jingyao from management. The report ended by describing He Jingyao as "a man fallen from the clouds."
Zhixi couldn’t help but laugh, turning to see the "man fallen from the clouds" holding his son and teaching him to recognize words with a relaxed and languid demeanor.
