The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 459: Extra 11_3

"Enough, enough, a cheaper rent will do for me."

How good can a cheaper house be? Therefore, the couple was not at ease with their daughter struggling alone here. With her being a young lady, they were extremely worried.

While their daughter was at work, the two of them found a place for her, a one-bedroom, one-living room apartment with a monthly rent of over eight thousand.

The main reason was that the security in this neighborhood was relatively good.

When Jiang Zhiman found out, she felt quite helpless; her monthly salary was only eight thousand. Now that her parents had rented a place for her for eight thousand, she felt quite guilty that, even though she was working, her parents were still subsidizing her.

"Mom, you’re so kind. I’ll work hard to earn money," she said.

Lu Jingqiu smiled, "Making money is secondary. Don’t overwork yourself. Also, you’re grown up now, and with all these young people around, you must keep your eyes wide open. I’m afraid some toad might try to woo my daughter."

Jiang Zhiman laughed, "Don’t worry, Mom, I don’t plan on dating for the next few years."

Jiang Zhiman, the young lady, made a good promise, but who could have expected that in less than two years, she would meet her true love.

In fact, back in Shanghai, she and a few classmates had developed a game.

Three years later, the game they developed caught the attention of a company. Jiang Zhiman was only responsible for the characters in the game and held a minor share. The others, especially the one with the most shares, wanted to sell.

There were those who didn’t want to sell, and with opinions divided, in the end, the game was sold, but the classmates parted ways.

Most notably, the classmate who advocated for the sale, who was also her boyfriend, ended up being the one most duped.

The company was sold, and in addition, they essentially sold her too because the new company highly valued Jiang Zhiman’s individual talent; they never refuse a talent that can generate revenue for the company.

In the end, her newly established boyfriend secretly took a large sum of payment, deliberately confused her into signing the contract, and even pressed her fingerprint on it. Just like that, she was obligated to work for the new company for three years.

Of course, if she wanted to quit, she would have to pay a penalty of at least three million.

This seriously infuriated Jiang Zhiman. When she wanted to sue, the man was nowhere to be found, and she was deeply hurt for a while.

Luckily, the president of the company that took over was relatively conscientious, offering her a decent salary.

Also, not wanting to worry her parents, she did not tell them about this incident.

Despite all this, Jiang Zhiman still felt very resentful toward this boss, but it had to be acknowledged, the boss was very astute.

And yet, since arriving at the company, she still hadn’t met this president in person. It was said he was very busy, having taken over the family business at a young age; this small gaming company was just an incidental acquisition for him.

"Man Man, we’ve completed the transaction for our house, don’t forget to go take possession of it. I picked a villa for you. I’ve already discussed it with your brother — both the Shanghai and Yangcheng City properties will be kept for you," she said.

"Mom, I’m just one person, I don’t need so many houses. Just the one in Yangcheng City is enough," I replied.

Jiang Nanzhou, knowing his daughter was sensible, leaned into the phone and said, "Man Man, what’s rightfully yours is yours. Your mother and I only have the two of you kids. If we don’t give it to you, who else will we give it to? Your brother, as a boy, needs to strive for his own fortune. Don’t worry about him. How’s work going? Don’t overdo it."

"It’s going well. My job involves sitting in the office all day; how could that tire me out? But you and Mom, you need to be careful when you’re driving around for fun."

"Got it," they said.

Lu Jingqiu laughed, "Your dad and I are in Capital City right now."

"Oh, how are grandma and grandpa doing?"

"Your grandma is getting older; it’s mostly old age issues. We’re planning on taking your grandma and grandpa to the hospital for a checkup soon."

"Alright, Mom, send my regards to grandma and grandpa, and let them know I’ll visit them during my holiday."

"Sure, and you take care of yourself too. Besides, your dad has transferred the money for your house decoration into your account. Decorate it according to your liking," she instructed.

"Mom, I have money, I don’t need yours."

"The little money you have won’t be enough. Just take it."

"Mom, I really do have money."

"Your mom has money too, more than I can spend. Don’t be polite with me."

Jiang Zhiman laughed helplessly. Fine, if her parents had money, she wouldn’t be coy about it.

Little did she know, this villa was indeed gigantic.

She could have chosen several flats instead, but her mother said living comfortably gave her incentive to work.

They even paid extra to secure this particular villa for her.

Turns out, with the amount of money she had, it really wasn’t enough for such a villa.

Jiang Zhiman spent a year finishing the decoration of the villa, spending several million and using up the dividends from her game development.

The three-story villa came with an additional two underground levels and a vast yard.

For her living alone, the inside felt incredibly empty, and Jiang Zhiman found herself unable to sleep well many nights.

In the end, her mother brought over a little cat, Hua Hua’s daughter.

And because of this little cat, Jiang Zhiman wound up entangled in a thread of fate.

One time, Jiang Zhiman didn’t secure her window correctly, and after searching for two days, she spotted the cat in the neighboring yard in the evening.

Little did she know, the neighbor was her enigmatic CEO boss.
