Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 1034 - 1020: The Four Who Strive Together! (Part 3)

Chapter 1034: Chapter 1020: The Four Who Strive Together! (Part 3)

So, after finishing their breakfast, the four of them set off on their bikes together, leaving the Zhejiang University campus.

The agenda for today was to find a location for their studio, rent the studio, and then head to the business bureau in the afternoon to register for a business license.

Yan Siyuan studied at the Yuquan Campus, right next to West Lake, to make it convenient for him to manage the studio in the future.

Therefore, they tried to find a place for the studio as close to the school as possible.

Before Huo Feng arrived, Yan Siyuan had already scoped out a few studios over by the Jihong Times Department Store.

Because it wasn’t too far from the school, making it quite a suitable location considering geographic factors and other conditions.

So, after leaving school, the four of them headed straight there with clear goals in mind.

Led by a real estate agent, they thoroughly looked at all the studios available for rent.

There were studios measuring 55 square meters, 96 square meters, and even over 100 square meters.

The prices varied, and the orientations of the floor plans were also different.

After several rounds of discussion, Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng decided on a 55-square-meter studio.

They immediately signed a rental contract with the agent, with the rent being 2,400 yuan per month, payable three months in advance with a one-month deposit, requiring a total of four months’ rent to be paid upfront, although the contract stipulated a minimum one-year rental period.

Yan Siyuan paid the money first, but Huo Feng would transfer him later since Huo Feng could afford it.

Renting an apartment wasn’t a simple task; it took them an entire morning.

At noon, the four of them had lunch at a small restaurant near the office building.

Taking advantage of the midday break, Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng planned to go to the market to buy office supplies, such as desks, chairs, computers, printers, copiers, A4 paper, and pens.

Since it was the middle of the day and the outdoor sun was blazing, and considering that Hangzhou was already a high-temperature city.

Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng insisted that Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao not join them.

Ye Qingcao originally wanted to act spoiled with Yan Siyuan to find an opportunity to tag along.

However, this time Pu Sangzhi didn’t plan to go with them, so Ye Qingcao had to give up.

As a result, Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng set off for the market.

They had a clear goal, checking out second-hand desks and chairs in downtown Hangzhou on Salted Fish, contacting sellers, and picking them up themselves.

The prices on Salted Fish were cheap, and some second-hand goods were quite new, very suitable for poor students like them starting a business.

So, after Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng left, the first step was to go to the car rental company to rent a large truck for transporting goods.

Then they began their procurement journey.

Those left behind, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao, weren’t idle either...

Although Pu Sangzhi suggested staying behind, she immediately went with Ye Qingcao to a nearby shop to buy cleaning supplies.

Then the two girls carried the cleaning supplies into the office building and did a major cleaning of the studio that Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng had rented.

They wore gloves, carried buckets, and scrubbed up and down the dusty studio, cleaning every corner thoroughly.

But it was really hot...

Ye Qingcao broke out in a sweat after a short while and asked Pu Sangzhi, "Isn’t there air conditioning here? I really want to turn on the air conditioning."

Pu Sangzhi understood, "The electricity costs for central air conditioning in such commercial office buildings are expensive. Let’s save whenever we can... Otherwise, let’s buy a few electric fans! If we put electric fans here, the employees can use them too."

"Ugh..."

Ye Qingcao pursed her lips, "Do we need to be so frugal..."

"And we are cleaning now... always going in and out, with the door open, turning on the air conditioning would be a waste."

As Pu Sangzhi spoke, she walked past Ye Qingcao, patting her shoulder, "Let’s turn it on after we’re done. I’ll go buy a fan now."

"You’re going to buy a fan right now?"

Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Ye Qingcao asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"

"It’s too hot outside; you should stay here. I’ll be back soon; the supermarket is nearby, I saw it just now. Well... if it really gets too hot, why don’t you turn on the air conditioning. It’s not good to get heatstroke..."

Later, Pu Sangzhi thought it over and decided not to be too stingy.

If Xiaocao were to get heatstroke, then Yan Siyuan would end up paying more, and he might even blame her...

"No~"

But Ye Qingcao refused, "You said the air conditioning fee is expensive, so I won’t turn it on. I’ll go to the supermarket with you... We’ll get some air conditioning there!"

"Alright." Pu Sangzhi laughed.

"Hehe..."

Ye Qingcao laughed and followed Pu Sangzhi, her face radiant with a bright smile, saying eagerly, "Sangzhi, I think we’re so virtuous! With such amazing helpers like us, our boyfriends’ businesses will definitely succeed!"

"I think so too."

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "I’ve always believed in Huo Feng. Even though he exaggerates when he talks, he’s never failed at anything he’s set his mind on. As long as he’s willing to work, I believe he’ll succeed in whatever he does."

"Ah~"

Ye Qingcao shook her head in amazement, "I feel the same way~ The only difference is, I have 100% faith in our guy! My guy never exaggerates, whatever he says goes, he can definitely do it!"

Of course, Pu Sangzhi believed in Ye Qingcao’s words, "Besides, your guy can’t help but listen to you, right?"

Feeling both proud and a bit bashful, Ye Qingcao rubbed her head, "Hehe, I’ve gradually figured out how to handle him. As long as I act a little spoiled... talk a bit sweetly, he’ll agree to anything! Oh no... he’s not willing to sell his body yet."

Pu Sangzhi pushed Ye Qingcao in disdain, "Ugh~ you want him to sell his body to you, are you even a girl?"

Feeling even more embarrassed at Pu Sangzhi’s words, Ye Qingcao laughed, "Haha~ Can’t help it~ As I watch my god, it’s like Feng keeps an eye on you~ How come you and my god both have such good figures!"

Pu Sangzhi raised her hand, "Alright, stop! Enough!"

Ye Qingcao: "Haha~"

...

So the two girls went to the supermarket on the spur of the moment.

Still, the studio was almost cleaned up.

The floor-to-ceiling glass windows were spotless, and the floor was polished to a shine!

Some small trash that had been piling up in the room was taken out by them along the way.

Thus, when Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng returned with a cart, pushing the office desks back...

Opening the studio door, they were greeted by the sight of a neat 55-square-meter space, and cleaning supplies piled up on the floor!

"Wow~"

Huo Feng exclaimed in admiration, "Snail Girl~ my virtuous wife~"

Yan Siyuan surveyed the scene, deeply touched, but firmly stated, "It must have been Pu Sangzhi’s doing, Xiaocao would never think of such details."

Huo Feng proudly patted Yan Siyuan on the shoulder, "How’s it, didn’t I choose well when I found my girlfriend!" Huo Feng boasted endlessly.

Yan Siyuan: "Get lost."

Huo Feng: "I know you’re jealous, but there’s only one Sangzhi in the world and she’s mine now!"

Too lazy to even roll his eyes at Huo Feng, Yan Siyuan urged, "Hurry and move in!"

So the two of them joined forces to push an office desk into the studio, placing it in the most suitable spot.

"This is what I’m thinking..."

Before going down for the second round, Yan Siyuan held Huo Feng back, sweating profusely, enduring the heat, "Four office desks, two placed in the middle as workstations. One in that corner over there, to be used as a pantry table. The smallest computer desk can go into that little room, to be counted as the leadership office."

Huo Feng looked over at that small room, raising his eyebrows as he walked, "Hey, that room is too small, it’d be better off as a storage room!"

With arms crossed, Yan Siyuan stood his ground, "No, I want my own office space. Even if the room is small, it should be my room."

Huo Feng gave Yan Siyuan a friendly slap on the chest, "Wow, bro, the total space is just 55 square meters... and you’re imagining your own office space? Want to be the CEO?"

"A leader needs to have the appearance of a leader, even if the room is small, it’s my room alone. So, it can’t be a storage room, only my office!" Yan Siyuan insisted on his pride, refusing to budge.

Huo Feng stared at him for a while and finally waved his hand, "Whatever you want, I’m not the one working here, set it up any way you like." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Yan Siyuan’s lips curled, "Alright, let’s keep it as it is."

Huo Feng pointed at him, "Wow, you’re grinning like a kid!"

Yan Siyuan: "Get lost."
