Peninsula's first chance encounter during my stay in Dali

Seoul. At 16:00 PM, Yoona and her group from aespa landed at Incheon Airport and immediately returned to Seoul.

Looking at the strange message Zhou Haoming sent, Liu Zhimin suddenly became worried about her boyfriend's mental state.

"Hey, don't put so much pressure on yourself. I can earn money just fine! Don't overthink it, Arasso?"

Zhou Haoming was currently lying on the large leather sofa in his new house, looking at Liu Zhimin's reply.

Sigh, woman, you know nothing about your man's abilities. I'm afraid you'll tremble when you find out.

"I'm not kidding you. By the way, I've bought a house in Jiangnan. Would the lady of the house be willing to come and take a look?" Zhou Haoming sent the message while imagining Liu Zhimin's surprise upon seeing it. He couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with himself.

Although the inheritance left by his parents before he inherited the 15% stake was enough to buy the house, the situation is quite different now.

One is about living off one's savings, while the other is about having a continuous flow of money, which completely reflects Zhou Haoming's different attitudes towards money.

"What? He actually bought a house in Gangnam?" Liu Zhimin was surprised. Although she could buy a house in Gangnam with cash now, it would reduce her savings by more than half, so she might as well save for a few more years.

But little did she know that her boyfriend had quietly bought a house in Gangnam-gu, which is second only to Hannam-dong in Seoul in terms of property value.

It seems I still don't understand him well enough. "I'll be in Seoul soon. Send me your location, and I'll go back to the office and come over."

"Okay, I'll go down to the supermarket now to buy some groceries and cook for you when you get back."

Liu Zhimin felt a surge of affection as she read Zhou Haoming's message, which was full of the feeling of a married man.

"Haoming is so kind of you, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's just cooking a dish, nothing compared to how hard our big star works," Zhou Haoming said, grabbing the keys and heading downstairs to the supermarket.

"What?! Zhou Haoming actually bought a house in Jiangnan District?" Ningning couldn't help but exclaim loudly upon hearing the news.

Lin Yoona, who was pretending to doze off in the back seat, immediately perked up her ears. "You little bastard Zhou Haoming, you didn't even tell me about something as important as buying a house! Just wait and see how I deal with you!" Lin Yoona thought to herself, secretly determined.

"Keep your voice down, why are you so loud?" Liu Zhimin quickly covered Ningning's mouth, unaware that this was Ningning's intention. She wanted Lin Yun'er to know the news and see if they would meet in Zhou Haoming's house in private. If they did meet, well, then she would have to immediately warn her to be careful of that scumbag Zhou Haoming!

"Hey Unnie, are you going to his new house later? Can I come along? I want to go see it too," Ningning said to Liu Zhimin in a coquettish tone.

Hmph, I know my unnie's love-struck nature. Until everything comes to light, Zhou Haoming, don't even think about touching my unnie! Ningning made up her mind.

"Shall I ask him?"

"Ningning heard you bought a new house and is insisting on coming with me for a housewarming party. Remember to buy lots of Northeastern Chinese food."

  

Zhou Haoming looked at the message and put the small umbrella back in its place. "You, Ning Yizhuo, are great! I admire you, bro. If you don't stuff yourself to death today, I'll admit my cooking skills have declined."

Ding-dong! Zhou Haoming opened the door and said, "Coming, coming." "Welcome home, mistress! Welcome, little tagalong, to my and Zhimin's new home."

"Hey, Zhou Haoming, what do you mean? I even brought you toilet paper, that's the highest form of courtesy."

"Please, you don't give us Chinese courtesy, but Korean courtesy? What a stingy person you are," Zhou Haoming complained.

"This is called 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do,' you know? If you want to buy a house in China, your sister will immediately give you a Maotai, okay?"

"You said it yourself, so you absolutely must remember it."

"Alright, alright, you two stop bickering. Can you please be a little quieter? You're giving me a headache," Liu Zhimin interrupted their argument.

"Yes, yes, please come in, madam. Welcome to our new home! This is your walk-in closet." Zhou Haoming led Liu Zhimin on a tour and introduced the place.

"Haoming, how much did you spend in total?"

"Not much, 27 billion won in total. It has three bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and one balcony, totaling 156 square meters. I think it's alright," Zhou Haoming introduced.

"That's actually not bad."

Ningning looked around and asked, "By the way, why did you suddenly want to buy a house?"

"That's because Jimin didn't buy a house in Seoul, so I figured I'd buy one first. It's better than living in your dorm, right?" Zhou Haoming replied while washing vegetables.

"I need to buy a car tomorrow, otherwise it will be very inconvenient to travel later."

"What! You're planning to buy a car? So you're not going back to China and are going back to Dali?" Ningning asked in surprise.

"I can't go back anytime soon, after all, I just took on a new job." Zhou Haoming sighed, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up when he thought about what he was going to say later.

"Wow, what kind of job did you find that allowed you to buy a car and a house right away!" Ningning asked in a very cooperative manner.

"I just took over 15% of Kakao's shares. Sigh, I spent half the day on the paperwork today, it's exhausting," Zhou Haoming said with a "helpless" expression while cooking.

"What?!" You and Ning exclaimed in unison, "You said you own 15 percent of Kakao's shares? Are you kidding us?"

"Why would I lie to you? Look, the agreement is still on the table. You can go and see for yourselves if you don't believe me." Zhou Haoming thoroughly enjoyed the exclamations of surprise from the two of them, humming a song as he cooked, looking extremely smug.

"Wow, unnie, your boyfriend seems to have really become a tycoon! My god, that's 15% of the shares!" Ningning exclaimed, her mouth agape.

Liu Zhimin stood there dumbfounded. "Alright, stop looking at it. The food is ready, come and eat. Ask me more questions after you've eaten," Zhou Haoming said, putting the dishes on the table and addressing the two who were still standing there.

"Haoming, you really surprised me," Liu Zhimin said, sitting in his chair, still feeling like everything that was happening was a dream. It wasn't real at all.

"Yeah, I bet nobody would have guessed that a guesthouse owner would suddenly become the second-largest shareholder of Kakao," Zhou Haoming joked.

"Brother, my dearest Haoming, from now on, I'll be counting on you for everything," Ningning said, realizing the immense value of the man in front of her and immediately hugging him.

"You must remember all the effort I put into being with you, Unnie." Ningning wished she could squeeze out a single tear.

"Alright, alright, don't worry. After the shareholders' meeting in a few days, I'll let Aespa show its true colors!" Zhou Haoming said confidently.

"Thank you, brother! You are so powerful! I have no way to repay you but to offer you a toast!" Ningning was extremely cooperative at this moment.

"Haoming, how did things suddenly turn out like this?" Liu Zhimin asked, having recovered his senses.

"It's because of the shares my parents left me before they passed away. I've been dealing with this for a while, and it was only resolved today. I only found out I had these shares a few days ago," Zhou Haoming explained.

"Alright, alright, let's stop discussing this. Life goes on as usual. I'm still Zhou Haoming. Come on, let's celebrate our new home! Cheers!"
