It was the first time Su Qi had been called "Empress Daji" on the street, and she found the title embarrassing. Her fair, lustrous cheeks flushed red.
In truth, Su Qi's disguise that day was quite thorough. She wore a hoodie ensemble and a large face mask, leaving only her innocent eyes visible on her small face.
So how did this female employee recognize her as "Empress Daji"? The reason was simple: the boss, Bai Miao, had just called to inform her that three girls would be coming to view the property, one of whom was named Su Qi.
Chen Qianqian, the Marketing Director of Green Coast, had seen the promotional photos of Qi Yun Investment Company taken by her boss, Bai Miao. Combined with the recent stock market genius incident, she knew that Su Qi was the actress who played Su Daji.
Having long wished to see the real face of the nation-toppling Su Daji, Chen Qianqian immediately confirmed Su Qi's identity upon seeing those pure eyes.
Seeing "Empress Daji" lower her head shyly after being recognized, Chen Qianqian thought she seemed different from what she had imagined, but undeniably adorable.
Kawaii~
As Chen Qianqian led Su Qi and her companions through the show home, she displayed great enthusiasm.
The 400-plus square meter show home featured five bedrooms, two living rooms, two kitchens, three bathrooms, and four balconies.
According to Chen Qianqian, families purchasing such large units typically had excellent financial conditions and usually wanted two children.
This layout allowed for a room for the parents, one for each child, one for grandparents, and the last for a nanny.
Hearing this, Su Qi marveled at the colorful lives of the wealthy, needing five bedrooms. She felt she preferred the cozy love nest of Green City Community Room 1507 to this large house.
Xiao Xiaoxiao, having worked in a research institute, was familiar with the equipment. Although she had specifically purchased some instruments for trace element research, suspecting a connection between the ancient flu virus and trace elements, she could tell at a glance that this show home, with its 400-plus square meters including two living rooms and four wraparound balconies, could indeed accommodate the equipment.
After a brief tour, Xiao Xiaoxiao excitedly told her three sisters:
"This house can fit everything! We can have a room for Sister Bai Miao, one for Sister Wang Yun, one for Sister An Ning, one as a research room, and another for us to rest!"
Su Qi and Wang Zijin sighed in relief hearing the young girl's words. Finding another suitable location for the research institute would have been troublesome.
However, Chen Qianqian's next words poured cold water on their heads:
"Empress Daji, although General Manager Bai has specially permitted you to establish a research institute in this show home, I've just checked some information. Setting up a research institute requires many preparations in advance. The most crucial issue is the power supply!"
Hearing Chen Qianqian's words, Su Qi felt slightly embarrassed by the "Empress Daji" title but focused on the pressing matter of establishing the institute.
She quickly blinked her big eyes and asked Chen Qianqian, "Sister Chen, why is the power supply an issue?"
Seeing Su Qi remove her mask and blink her big eyes, Chen Qianqian wanted to hug and pamper her. This wasn't the nation-toppling Su Daji from the movie, but an utterly adorable and endearing little sweetheart!
However, as a mature adult and with Su Qi's two friends present, Chen Qianqian quickly returned to the topic at hand to maintain her image:
"Because, as this little one mentioned, you'll be using many high-powered medical devices. Many hospital equipment power requirements don't align with standard household circuits, so some electrical modifications will be necessary."
After Chen Qianqian's explanation, Su Qi belatedly realized this was indeed the case. At this point, her wife Zijin also spoke up:
"Yes, apart from the electrical modifications, since it's a virus research institute, we'll need to install air disinfection and purification equipment, as well as wastewater treatment facilities."
Hearing Wang Zijin's words, Xiao Xiaoxiao's doll-like face turned into an "O" shape, thinking how impressive Sister Zijin was, knowing so much.
Chen Qianqian, seeing Wang Zijin's thorough consideration, finally felt at ease. She went to her desk and retrieved a contract.
It was a one-year free lease agreement, which Chen Qianqian had prepared before their arrival.
The one-year term was because the minimum standard for establishing a research institute was one year.
After reading through the various terms, Wang Zijin realized how generous her good friend Bai Miao was being. The lease agreement imposed virtually no restrictions on them.
They could freely modify the show home, remove electrical systems, and even install air conditioning units outside the building.
After confirming the details, Wang Zijin quickly had Su Qi sign the contract.
Chen Qianqian, after filing away her copy of the two-part contract, didn't leave. Looking at Su Qi's innocent face, she hesitantly suggested, "Empress Daji, could we take a photo together?"
Hearing the request for a photo, Su Qi froze for a moment.
Although she was now a girl, the mention of taking photos still made her feel awkward. She still didn't know what pose to strike, other than the peace sign she used to do as a boy.
However, considering how enthusiastic Chen Qianqian had been in her explanations, the kind-hearted Su Qi didn't know how to refuse.
Fortunately, Xiao Xiaoxiao, hearing about the photo, chimed in:
"If Sister Su is taking a photo, I want to as well! Sister Zijin, do you want to join?"
As she spoke, Xiao Xiaoxiao tugged at Wang Zijin's skirt hem.
Wang Zijin initially didn't want to be photographed, but faced with her Junior's bright eyes and her wife's hopeful gaze, she finally agreed.
With a click, Chen Qianqian's phone captured a group photo of the four.
That evening, while eating a super deluxe giant hamburger at home, Chen Qianqian posted the photo on her social media.
At that moment, she had no idea how significant this small photo would become in boosting sales for the Green Coast Community in the future!
