Chapter 80: Chapter 72: Change of Thought"Agreements aren’t necessary. As long as you won’t regret this in the future." She said so, and Chen Feng definitely had to respond. Xiao Ya confidently said, "I won’t." "How much money do you want? How about ten thousand a month?" Chen Feng ultimately couldn’t stick it out, mostly because he was afraid to reject her again as it would hurt the self-esteem of a beautiful woman. Chen Feng was always considerate of others. "Ten thousand is too little," Xiao Ya frowned. It wasn’t really about the amount, but if it were too low, it would make her feel cheap. "When I was in college, I had a classmate who initially went to nightclubs and later was taken care of by a boss who rented her a very nice apartment. The boss paid the rent and also gave her a living allowance of thirty thousand." "Then make it thirty thousand." Chen Feng also readily added twenty thousand. The initial ten thousand wasn’t about saving money but was merely a test. Still, Xiao Ya was somewhat dissatisfied. After all, she initially wanted to date Chen Feng or at least be his mistress, but now she had directly become a kept woman, making the gap between expectations and reality hard to swallow. "My classmate was only okay-looking, not very beautiful, and she started by sitting in nightclubs. The apartment she lived in, I heard the rent was close to ten thousand a month." Although she put it plainly, Chen Feng understood her implication and therefore he smiled and said, "In that case, why don’t you stay at the Red Villa Bay villa? I might occasionally stay over too." Xiao Ya was startled, then extremely thrilled, and asked, "Would your girlfriend agree to that?" Chen Feng shook his head, "Buying the villa was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I intended to surprise her when she returned, but there seems to be no need now." Xiao Ya felt even more delighted upon hearing Chen Feng say this. It was originally intended for his girlfriend, but now it was given to her. Doesn’t that indicate Chen Feng really valued her? In fact, Chen Feng had never planned to tell Sun Xiaorui about the villa purchase since she wasn’t his girlfriend. Besides, they were quite comfortable living in the small villa by East Lake, where the surrounding amenities and natural setting were actually more agreeable than those at Red Villa Bay. Chen Feng planned to buy that villa outright in the future. But Chen Feng hadn’t quite decided yet, thinking he needed to at least stay there for the two months he had already paid for. "Are you really willing to let me stay in that villa? Such a villa, the rent must be at least thirty to forty thousand a month." Being a real estate agent, she of course knew the rental prices well. Living in a villa with a monthly rent of thirty to forty thousand, in addition to a three thousand monthly living allowance, Xiao Ya felt it was really worth it. Especially since this man was Chen Feng, someone she found pleasant and with whom she shared common interests. This was much better than being with some fat, wealthy nouveau riche, aged in their fifties or sixties. The classmate she had mentioned earlier was actually kept by one such wealthy man, bald and chubby, with a disgusting smoker’s yellow teeth when he smiled. The previous wealthy man under her classmate’s name invited them, a few beautiful girls, to dine and later even made advances, disgustingly offering her classmate a high price to facilitate. At the time, she had flatly refused without a second thought. Now, however, she was the one seeking to be kept, which made her somewhat understand her classmate’s position back then. Still, she believed there was a fundamental difference between them. Because her classmate was purely for money, while she valued money but felt affection was more important, at least that’s what she believed. At that moment, Chen Feng smiled and said, "What’s there to mind? A house is meant to be lived in. For now, my girlfriend and I stay by East Lake, which, frankly, is even nicer than Red Villa Bay, and we’ve gotten quite used to living there. Can’t be bothered moving." Xiao Ya didn’t like the sound of that, but she didn’t show it; at least Chen Feng was being honest, and wouldn’t likely scam her in the future. "Then I’ll make myself at home. But, if I live in such a high-end villa, it doesn’t quite align with my current job. After all, I make only a few thousand a month." Xiao Ya hesitated. "Do you want to quit your job?" Chen Feng asked. Xiao Ya nodded, "I’m thinking of quitting. The reason I took this job was to make money quickly, but only after working did I realize it’s really exhausting. Every day I’m surrounded by all sorts of scheming people, and there’s constant backstabbing in the office. Even though I’ve made some money over these months, I wasn’t happy at all." "Then quit," Chen Feng simply said. "I’ll give you thirty thousand a month, that should be enough for you personally, right?" Xiao Ya smiled, "Of course that’s enough. Previously, with a monthly salary of three to four thousand, after paying rent and utilities, I had only about a thousand left, which was just enough for expenses." "You really are thrifty," Chen Feng sincerely said. He had previously been a working tenant too, so he understood the hardship of living here. "It’s okay," Xiao Ya chuckled. "I grew up in a modest family, easy to sustain." Chen Feng casually remarked, "Well then. Since you’re not happy with your job, quit first. Then, gradually look for a job you like." Xiao Ya smiled and asked, "Senior, do you have any good job recommendations?"
