Chapter 764: Chapter 273: Xiaolinzi, What Position Will You Arrange for Me?
After Yan Qiuwen left, Su Zelin was in a great mood and even started humming a tune.
"Your smile is so beautiful..."
Just then, Song Yuwei walked in and, seeing this, asked curiously, "Boss, what’s the good news today?"
"Yes, great news!"
Su Zelin laughed.
"What good news?"
Song MM expressed her curiosity.
"I accomplished something today, something that might involve billions."
He kept it mysterious.
"Oh, does the company have a new big money-making project?"
Mentioning billions, Song Yuwei got a little excited.
"It’s not really a big project, in fact, it’s not even a project."
Su Zelin chuckled.
Song Yuwei was puzzled and decided not to overthink it.
She looked around the entrance and saw no one else.
"Dear, can you come with me to pick out furniture later?"
Yesterday, the renovation had just been accepted, but there was a department team building event that night, so she couldn’t go shopping for furniture, and Song Yuwei was quite eager.
"Sure, let’s go then!"
Su Zelin agreed readily.
The day after tomorrow, Qin Shiqing would be back, and the day after that, Nanaz would return.
With a little absence making the heart grow fonder, he’d definitely have to arrange dates with them, and wouldn’t have much time to accompany Song Yuwei to pick out furniture. It would be best to settle it today and tomorrow.
So Su Zelin and Song Yuwei grabbed a quick meal and headed straight to the city’s large home renovation market.
First were the appliances, not much to say there. At this time, domestic large appliances had yet to rise, and the technology and quality were still lacking, so imports were more reliable.
For Su Zelin, selecting appliances wasn’t difficult because he pretty much knew which imported brand’s technology was outstanding in which area, what new technology was worth buying, and which new technology was just a trap. So he didn’t need to agonize too long.
While ensuring quality and technology, it was just about finding the latest stylish models, with colors and designs matching the light luxury home decor.
After picking out kitchen appliances like range hoods, refrigerators, and sterilization cabinets, they moved on to other appliances like TVs, air conditioners, and washing machines.
For each appliance, Su Zelin listed more than two candidate suggestions, leaving the rest for Song Yuwei to decide.
Then came sofas, dining tables, coffee tables, lounge chairs, beds, cabinets, desks, etc. These required more attention; even the same big brand could have varying material quality on the market.
This kind of soft decor is especially important for light luxury styles. If you buy poor material, the whole visual experience loses that understated luxury vibe.
Song Yuwei obviously didn’t know the ins and outs and could easily be persuaded by salespeople, possibly wasting money without achieving the ideal effect. Although Su Zelin had money, he didn’t want to be a sucker, so he had to take matters into his own hands.
For two consecutive nights, they shopped until the home renovation market closed, confirming almost all the appliances and furniture. Su Zelin transferred some money to Song Yuwei for her to handle the rest, deciding not to get involved any further.
The day after, Qin Shiqing returned, and he personally went to Zhejiang University to pick her up. It was the same routine as last time, lemon mint water, only this time, he added some ice, just lightly chilled.
Because the mid-May weather was already a bit warm, and this would not only relieve her travel sickness but also help cool her down.
It just goes to show that romantic gestures aren’t about being new; as long as you know how to adapt, changing a little detail makes it a new kind of romance.
Sure enough, Qin Shiqing was very pleased.
Hot lemon mint water for winter, slightly chilled for summer.
She felt her boyfriend was incredibly thoughtful.
"Thanks, Xiaolinzi, love you!"
The girl took the thermos, took a sip, and whether it was a placebo effect or not, she instantly felt less carsick.
"That’s it?"
Su Zelin expressed disappointment.
"What else?"
Qin Shiqing asked.
"No kiss here?"
Su Zelin pointed to his cheek.
"No way, there are so many people watching!"
Qin Shiqing, after all, was reserved and couldn’t bring herself to kiss her boyfriend in public.
Not to mention there were two big third wheels around.
"Su Zelin, can you two be a bit more restrained and consider our feelings?"
Immoderate as always, even Xiao Yue and Deng Xiaoman found it unbearable.
"Xiaoyueyue, Xiaomanman, we are being very restrained, okay? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be here but here."
Su Zelin pointed to his lips.
"Ugh, you two take your time being mushy. We’re going ahead, sorry to leave you!"
The two girls, full on dog food, dragged their suitcases towards the door.
Though they were free of the third wheels, that one kiss from Qin Shiqing never materialized, instead, she pressed her jade hand on her cherry lips and then onto Su Zelin’s cheek: "Is this okay?"
"No, it’s not!"
He protested.
"We’ll talk about it tonight, okay?"
Qin Shiqing blinked her big eyes pleadingly.
"Alright, but it can’t just be a peck on the lips."
Su Zelin coughed lightly and took the opportunity to propose an exchange of conditions.
The girl’s face turned red in an instant.
This issue had been brought up by him several times, yet she hadn’t agreed.
"I’ll think about it."
Her voice was much softer.
He couldn’t help but be overjoyed hearing this.
He could sense the change in her tone, suggesting there was hope.
"Then it’s settled happily."
Su Zelin automatically ignored the meaning of "think" and took it as a yes.
"You’re really domineering and a rascal!"
Qin Shiqing felt she had no choice against him and reckoned escape would be difficult tonight.
"But, I have one condition too!"
"Let’s hear it."
"In this lifetime, you can only give lemon mint water to me, not to any other girl!"
