Chapter 312: Plan to Move Out
After school, Jian Ai went straight home. As soon as she entered the yard, the fragrance of food greeted her.
Jian Ai smiled. She knew that Chen Jin was at home today.
She pushed the door open and, as expected, Chen Jin was setting up the bowls and chopsticks at the dining table. When he heard the sound, he couldn’t help but turn around.
When he saw it was Jian Ai, Chen Jin chuckled. “You came back at meal time? I just finished cooking. Quickly wash your hands!”
Walking to the table, Jian Ai looked at the eight dishes on the table and was stunned. She came back to her senses and smiled. “Why? What’s the special occasion today?”
Usually, when the two of them ate, Chen Jin would prepare four dishes: two hot, one cold, and one soup. Jian Ai thought that there were too many dishes, so she often had to eat leftovers for the second meal.
Today, Chen Jin made eight dishes!
Hearing this, Chen Jin’s lips couldn’t help but move. Seeing his expression, Jian Ai knew he had something to say.
Without asking, Jian Ai just looked at him quietly and waited for him to speak.
After a while, Chen Jin scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “Xiao Ai, thank you for taking care of me during this time. I… I plan on moving out.”
Jian Ai was startled, clearly surprised.
She knew that Chen Jin would leave her home eventually because he couldn’t possibly stay here forever. However, she didn’t expect it to be so soon.
“So sudden?” Jian Ai asked.
Chen Jin shook his head. “It’s not a sudden decision. Actually, I’ve been planning this for a long time. The timing is just right now, so I’m sharing this with you.”
Without waiting for Jian Ai to speak, Chen Jin continued, “Previously, Qinghuan asked me to pretend to be a manager and gave me five hundred yuan a day. It was a daily salary. But now, I’m Qinghuan’s official manager. My salary is on a monthly basis. Twenty thousand yuan a month, which is more than what I earned in the previous year. With this money, I have the conditions to rent a house and live there. When I save up a year’s worth of money, I can buy a house in Baiyun City!”
With this thought in mind, Chen Jin couldn’t help but rub his hands together animatedly. “This is something I didn’t even dare to dream of in the past.”
Chen Jin looked up at Jian Ai with sparkling eyes. “You brought all of this to me. Thank you, Xiao Ai.”
Chen Jin’s expression was sincere, but Jian Ai quickly said, “This is all the result of your hard work. I didn’t give it to you!”
Jian Ai didn’t dare to claim credit. If she really had anything to do with it, the only thing that she could take credit for was when she brought Qinghuan home and Chen Jin was coincidentally there as well.
That day at the bar, if Chen Jin hadn’t jumped out to help her out of concern for her safety, he wouldn’t have lost his job, and she wouldn’t have brought him home. Chen Jin wouldn’t have gotten to know Qinghuan, and there wouldn’t have been so many things that happened after that.
Although everything had happened by a freak combination of factors, this was all Chen Jin’s fate. He was a down-to-earth and hardworking, good person. The heavens were watching over him.
“In short, thank you!” Chen Jin said, his eyes somewhat red.
Jian Ai didn’t ask him to stay. If she was living in a new two hundred square meters house, Jian Ai would definitely ask him to stay.
At the same time, her mother would be discharged from the hospital and return home soon. There was no place for him to stay at home anymore. Since he had already decided, Jian Ai nodded. “Come back whenever you want in the future.”
Chen Jin nodded hard. He knew that Jian Ai was not being polite with him.
After spending so much time together, the two of them already had a deep relationship. Chen Jin treated her as his sister, and Jian Ai also regarded him as her family.
Moreover, after Rose Entertainment was established, the first person Jian Ai wanted to sign was Qinghuan.
A reunion was not urgent.
