Less than half an hour after Jiang Xu sent his location, Zoe had already arrived next to him.

"What do you need me to do?" Zoe got out of the cockpit and walked to Jiang Xu's side.

Jiang Xu glanced at the time on his communicator: "You weren't far from here before?"

"Not bad." Zoe recalled the watch face that had soared to take off; indeed, it had taken off.

Do you know where the nearby office buildings are clustered?

"Office space? What would you do there?" The male insect's job is to eat and drink; it doesn't need to work at all.

He looked at Jiang Xu with a puzzled expression, and asked jokingly, with a hint of probing, "You want to find a job?"

That's rare.

Jiang Xu pursed his lips: "Mm."

He said it himself, how could he possibly, um?

"You're not kidding?" Zoe looked at him in shock.

"Am I the type to joke?" Jiang Xu asked with a half-smirk, half-testing the waters.

"No, that's not it." Since growing up, Zoe has rarely seen Jiang Xu joke.

Forget joking, it's rare for me to even laugh.

He sighed inwardly: She's not as cute as she was when she was a child.

"No, are you really going to look for a job?" Surely not. Even if he's not a male insect, the Jiang family's assets shouldn't have reduced him to this state.

"What were you doing just now?" Jiang Xu bypassed his topic and asked directly.

"Hey, it's a business party at home, you know? I can't help it, I'm the only one at home, I have to go, right?" Zoe answered honestly.

"Then why can't I?" Jiang Xu turned his head to look at him, waiting for the other's answer.

Zoe paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Yeah, you're right. If I can do it, why can't you?"

Besides, his surname is Jiang.

"Let's go. I know this area, which is full of commercial offices, very well."

The destination wasn't far; we arrived at our location in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Xu wasn't using an adjective; he finally understood why Zoe had been able to get to his location within half an hour.

As for his claim that it wasn't far, that was obviously just to appease him.

At Zoe's driving speed, she could easily cross the capital.

"Why are you looking at me?" Zoe led Jiang Xu toward the commercial area, but when she turned her head, she saw Jiang Xu's eyes accusing her of something.

Jiang Xu sighed calmly, "It's alright, let's go."

Their first destination was the business center, which was completely different from the bustling city in front of his house.

The insects here are all dressed formally; they look like white-collar workers.

Each insect exudes an air of arrogance.

However, females still make up the majority, with only a few males scattered around.

Therefore, when the two of them stepped into the bustling area, they attracted the attention of many female insects.

Zoe seemed to have gotten used to this kind of guidance.

With a calm expression, he led Jiang Xu to a tall building standing in the central area: "Hey, by the way, what kind of job are you looking for?"

Zoe realized that she still didn't understand Jiang Xu's purpose.

"I'm planning to rent a place to use as a studio." Jiang Xu made no attempt to hide anything.

"Rent a studio?" Zoe asked with some doubt. "Doesn't the Jiang family own many properties? Why would they need to rent one?"

"......." The Jiang family? Many? How many? But he dared not go. Jiang Xu's eyes were filled with helplessness.

"I want to try on my own."

When he said that, he was afraid that Zoe would think he was crazy.

Instead of relying on the Jiang family's powerful backing, a male insect would still think of relying on itself.

They are out of place among the male insects in this society.

"Uh." Zoe looked at him seriously, and after confirming that he was telling the truth, she gave him a thumbs up: "That's ambitious."

Only Jiang Xu himself knew that he had to be so principled.

However, he was confident because before he came here, the Jiang family's company was entirely supported by him.

Since he can develop so well over there, he won't fare any worse here either.

They looked at several venues, but Jiang Xu felt they were all lacking.

It's not that he's picky; it's just that when it comes to resource integration and the sharing economy, it's necessary to make it convenient for customers to come and go at any time.

But since it exceeded his budget, he instead set his sights on a landmark shopping mall near the busiest area.

"Are you sure?" Zoe didn't quite agree with Jiang Xuxuan's position; it wasn't high-end enough, nor was it impressive enough.

Instead, it has a more down-to-earth, everyday feel.

"Okay." Jiang Xu nodded, then looked at the real estate agent behind him: "When can we sign the contract?"

"Are you buying or leasing?" The agent had accompanied several venues, from the high-end area in the center to here, and his enthusiasm had noticeably waned.

Looking at the agent whose attitude had become much worse, Jiang Xu sighed inwardly: It seems that the rules of human society also apply here.

"Rent." Jiang Xu.

"Okay, for leasing, we offer annual contracts, with a five-year term. Is that feasible for you?"

Although the agent was less enthusiastic, he didn't dare to show too much enthusiasm since he had two male insects in front of him.

"no problem."

"Please wait a moment, I will send you the contract right away."

The agent directly searched the recent contacts and found two contact numbers: "Excuse me, which account should I send this to?"

Jiang Xu pointed out his contact number to him.

What followed proceeded smoothly. The agent handed the keys to Jiang Xu and left quickly.

Only two male insects remained in the room.

"What are you planning to do with this place?" Zoe looked at the somewhat dilapidated office, which was quite different from the places she usually frequented.

"Keep it a secret for now." Jiang Xu kept it a secret. He glanced at the number on the asset card; there was only a small amount left. He wondered if the original owner of the card would be devastated if they knew this.

I'm poor!

Jiang Xu suddenly remembered something and started using the communicator to check the asset cards under his quota.

All that could be seen was a long string of zeros following Jiang Xu's name.

Is he that rich?

Jiang Xu felt like he had won a huge lottery prize, like finding money on the street.

He had originally been thinking about whether to borrow some money from Zoe, but now it seems that Zoe herself is a wealthy man.

Zoe was both surprised and delighted to find Jiang Xu, which was somewhat inexplicable.

What's there to be happy about renting a shabby place?

"Let's go." Jiang Xu turned off the asset balance information and walked out of the room. He stopped after a few steps and instructed Zoe, "I only told you about this..."

Zoe looked at his serious face: "I know, I won't tell anyone. You know how tight-lipped I am."

No, he didn't know, Jiang Xu answered silently, but unfortunately he couldn't tell the other person this.

He could only nod solemnly to the other party: "If things don't work out in the future, I need to have a way out."

Zoe thought he was right. If it didn't work out, no one would know, and it would be as if nothing had happened, which would save face.

After seeing the other party nod solemnly, Jiang Xu walked straight out, a sly smile playing on his lips.
