Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Su Yun’s Frustration Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Su Yun’s Frustration [Gym Facilities unlocked: A fully equipped gym is now available for tenants who wish to maintain their physical fitness and improve their combat abilities.] [Private Storage Lockers unlocked: Each tenant can now rent additional private storage space for personal belongings.] [Recreational Area unlocked: A communal recreational space for tenants to relax, play gas, and socialize with others.] Su Jiyai read through the list of new options with satisfaction.
The upgrade had given her base several new features that would not only attract more tenants but also improve the quality of life for everyone.
It can also help her to return her loan.
Ah…life was truly good.
That night Su Jiyai announced the ssage of lockdown and exited her underground room.
Using a system panel, she first built more than 30 buildings and ensured each of them had more than 20 floors.
Then she built a double room bed bedroom and gym.
To access the gym, the tenants will have to pay a subscription fee.
Though Su Jiyai didn’t have much hope for the gym business, she still decorated it.
Soon she started building recreational areas and Clothes clothes-washing area.
After installing the washing machine, she set the price to 1 zombie crystal for using the washing machines in the clothes washing area one ti.
After decorating the double room in the 30 buildings, it was almost dawn.
Su Jiyai was so tired that she wanted to lay on the ground right away.
Who said being a landlord was easy?
It was tedious work!
Returning to her underground room, Su Jiyai slept for the next 9 hours.
……………………………..
Pei ng kept a close watch on Su Yun after his talk with Boss Su.
Every ti Su Yun tried to put her plans into action, he found a way to ss them up without making it too obvious.
During one of the base market days.
Su Yun went to the base market, looking for soone new to charm.
She wore her prettiest dress and even added a flower to her hair.
She smiled sweetly at a young man selling tools.
“Hello,” she said, leaning on the counter.
“You must work so hard every day.
I admire that in a man.” The seller blushed, scratching the back of his neck.
“Oh, it’s nothing, really…” Just as Su Yun was about to continue, Pei ng appeared behind her, grinning like he was her best friend.
“Su Yun!
There you are!” he said loudly, clapping her shoulder.
Su Yun nearly jumped.
“P-Pei ng?!” Pei ng ignored her startled look and turned to the tool seller.
“Hey, thanks for fixing my hamr last ti.
Su Yun and I are just here to browse today.
Right, sweetheart?” He gave her a playful nudge.
The seller’s smile faded a bit.
“Oh, you’re…
together?” Pei ng nodded cheerfully.
“Of course!
We’re engaged.” He flashed a big, innocent grin.
Su Yun clenched her fists behind her back, wanting to scream.
The seller quickly lost interest, mumbling sothing about needing to work, and walked away.
……….
A few days later, Su Yun decided to target a group of n chatting in the dining hall.
They were joking loudly, clearly enjoying themselves.
Su Yun sauntered over with her tray of food and sat at a table nearby, hoping to catch their attention.
As she giggled at one of their jokes, Pei ng suddenly walked into the room.
He spotted her imdiately and, with his usual enthusiasm, strode over.
“Su Yun!
I saved a seat for you over there!” he said, pointing to a table in the corner.
Su Yun’s smile froze.
“I’m fine here, Pei ng,” she said through gritted teeth.
But Pei ng didn’t take the hint.
He waved to the n at the table.
“Hi there!
Just letting you know, this lovely lady is my fiancée.
Isn’t she the best?” The n exchanged awkward glances and quickly found excuses to leave.
Su Yun slamd her tray onto the table once they were gone.
“Pei ng!
Stop ruining everything!” Pei ng looked genuinely confused.
“What do you an?
I’m just making sure no one bothers you.” A few days later, Su Yun was back in the courtyard, trying to make herself look vulnerable to catch soone’s attention.
She was sitting near a bench, playing with her hair and pretending to be deep in thought.
This ti, she noticed Li Chen, the shy man who had once given her a bracelet, walking by.
“Li Chen!” she called softly, her voice sweet and innocent.
“Would you mind keeping company?
I feel so lonely lately.” Li Chen hesitated, glancing around nervously.
He looked like he was about to approach when Pei ng appeared again, this ti standing directly between them.
“Su Yun, we need to talk,” Pei ng said, cutting off her chance to speak to Li Chen.
He didn’t even let her respond before turning toward her.
Su Yun clenched her fists.
“Not again,” she thought angrily.
Pei ng had blocked her every chance.
Later that day, Su Yun was once again in her room, looking at herself in the cracked mirror.
“I need a new plan,” she whispered to herself.
She knew she had to be clever to get past Pei ng and his interference.
But no matter what she tried, Pei ng was always there, showing up at just the right mont to stop her.
He started showing up in the halls when she was talking to tenants, casually leaning against the walls and saying things like, “Are you free, Su Yun?
Let’s have dinner together!” Su Yun was so angry that she almost cried.
She even started to suspect that Pei ng knew of her plan and hence he constantly clung to her.
She shook her head.
What was she thinking?
If Pei ng knew about her intention why would he still be with her?
So the most logical answer was…Pei ng was a clingy person.
Su Yun was frustrated but she knew she had no other choice.
All this was seen by Su Jiyai and she couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
