"This island is really dangerous..."

"The child is still so young, it's really pitiful."

"Ugh……"

Zhao Yang waited quietly for the crowd in front to disperse.

After a while, he let Rem hold the bag of snacks for a while, straightened his clothes, and went up to talk to the woman:

"Miss Li."

"Mr. Zhao?"

The woman was a little surprised when she saw him, and the child she was holding also looked up at him.

The child didn't react in any particular way because he didn't understand what was happening.

Zhao Yang said in a deep voice: "I came here by chance, and wanted to visit Mr. Li, but I didn't expect... Please accept my condolences."

Miss Li wiped her eyes and shook her head:

"Mr. Zhao, I was just about to look for you. Since you're here, I want to discuss the lease with you..."

She hesitated and said, "I've read the lease contract. It seems that if you don't rent it in advance, you need to pay compensation. Is that right?"

"That's what the contract says."

Zhao Yang nodded.

"Um, can you give me a moment..."

"Ms. Li, don't worry. Although the contract says so, it is only a clause to prevent malicious termination of the lease. I can choose not to ask for compensation."

Zhao Yang slowed down his tone and said, "I was in the same situation as you before. Many people knew that I was in a hurry to rent it out and wanted to lower the price, but after Mr. Li knew my situation, he didn't do that.

I appreciate it in my heart. Now that he is in trouble, I should give something back. You don't have to worry about compensation. Wait for me, I will return the deposit and this month's rent to you now."

"This, how can this be so embarrassing..."

"It doesn't matter. Only by helping each other in times of crisis can we survive better in this increasingly dangerous world."

After Zhao Yang finished speaking, Miss Li wiped her tears and thanked him again and again.

He sighed softly, then operated his mobile phone to transfer the money to her, and the other party quickly confirmed receipt.

"Ms. Li, what are your plans next?"

"Next... I should focus on raising my child."

"Really? Please cheer up. I believe Mr. Li doesn't want to see you sad."

"Thank you."

"...Condolences."

Zhao Yang didn’t know what to say, so he could only say this again.

"Mr. Zhao, I have packed up all the things in the office. The equipment you rented to us has not been touched. You can go and check it out."

"No need, I believe you."

"Thanks……"

The two were relatively speechless.

At this moment, her child suddenly tugged at her clothes and said:

"Mom, aren't you going back to cook? Otherwise Dad will be back soon."

Miss Li's mentality collapsed when she heard this. She squatted down and hugged her child and burst into tears.

Zhao Yang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but felt that it would be futile to say anything at this time, so he didn't say anything.

He also felt this deeply. When his entire family died last year, he just felt annoyed when others comforted him.

The atmosphere here was too heavy, so he quietly returned to Rem, but saw that she was also wiping tears, so he said speechlessly:

"Why are you crying too?"

"She... sob, sob, she's so pitiful!"

"Fine……"

Zhao Yang scratched his head, thinking that the girls might not be able to bear to see this kind of thing.

But that’s what extraordinary people are like. Even though they seem to be in a very glorious position, they can easily fall over and be completely destroyed if they are not careful.

They watched from the side, and people passing by quickened their pace. The atmosphere was very sad.

22 The little maid is really awesome

...Ms. Li finally left with her child.

Before she left, she thanked Zhao Yang again and again, but he kept saying "you're welcome".

After Miss Li and the other person disappeared, Zhao Yang heaved a long sigh and said:

"It's really torture to keep a straight face."

"Uh-huh-huh."

"No, why are you still wiping your tears?"

He ruffled Rem's hair helplessly.

"senior!"

She looked at Zhao Yang in protest, but because she was holding something in her hands, she couldn't reach out to sort it out, so she could only puff up her cheeks.

"Come on, follow me inside to take a look at the office."

Zhao Yang tossed the Yin key that Miss Li returned to him and walked to a three-story office building.

There is a wall outside the office building, separating the inside from the street.

There is a distance of about several meters between the wall and the office building, which provides some private space.

This street is full of office buildings like this, which are close to each other and look very neat.

There was a fence between the walls. After Zhao Yang pushed it open, he walked in and saw the glass door of the office building.

The sign on the gate has been removed, leaving a blank space there, which looks quite incongruous.

He pushed the door open and went in.

The first floor is paved with neat and elegant white tiles. There are several separated soundproof areas on the left, which are the places for discussing commissions with guests.

On the right is the rest and waiting area, with sofas, low tables, a water dispenser and a refrigerator in the corner.

When Zhao Yang saw this familiar first floor, he couldn't help but recall the memories of coming here often when he was a child.

“When I was a kid, this place was very busy, often filled with people waiting to make commissions.”

He said to Rem nostalgically.

"Let's work hard from now on, Senior!"

Rem wanted to make a fist, but she was holding something and could only try to shake the bag.

"Put your things down first."

Zhao Yang pointed to the low table next to him.

"Oh."

Rem nodded.

"Well... they're using it pretty well. At least the equipment on the first floor is the same as when it was rented out, and it's not broken."

Zhao Yang walked around this floor and said, "The floor is not very clean. There are shoe prints all over it."

"Yes, but it's not difficult to clean."

Rem was thinking about how to maintain hygiene.

Zhao Yang could also understand why it was not very clean.

It must be that Miss Li had just moved her things away, and he happened to come over, and she wanted to hire someone to clean up but didn't have time.

Of course, it's possible that she was too sad to think about cleaning.

But Zhao Yang didn't care, it would be the same if he did it himself.

He also had no intention of pursuing accountability.

"Let's go upstairs and take a look."

"Ok."

Zhao Yang took Rem to the second floor.

There are several desks and large cabinets on the left side of this floor.

When Zhao Yang's parents were still alive, this was the employees' office and the cabinets contained the customers' entrusted files. Mr. Li did not change the use of the place after he rented it.

Now that everything has been cleared away, the cabinet is empty.

The right side of the second floor is separated by a screen. Half of the space is occupied by a sofa and table, which is the lounge for the firm members. The other half is a small kitchen, which also has a refrigerator.

"When I came to the office before, my mother often cooked for me here."

Zhao Yang pointed at the kitchen, his tone full of emotion.

Rem smiled and said, "It sounds very heartwarming."

"It's pretty good... Let's go up and take a look."

Zhao Yang walked up the stairs and came to the third floor with Rem.

The third floor is divided into two halves. The left half is an exercise area with fitness equipment on one side and nothing on the other side. It can be used to practice swordsmanship and the like.

The right half of the third floor consists of three soundproof rooms for meditation.

"This place is used for cultivation."

There is nothing much Zhao Yang can say about this floor; its functions are just listed here.

"I plan to tear down two of the meditation rooms and convert them into toilets and showers. I was thinking about this when I was here before. It's really troublesome for an office to not have a toilet."

Zhao Yang put his hands on his waist and pointed out the situation.

"Senior, do you plan to use it yourself instead of renting it out?"

Rem asked, understanding the meaning of his words.

"Yeah, it just so happens that they don't want to rent it, so I'll take it back and use it myself. Chenxi Office is about to reopen."

Zhao Yang nodded.

After visiting the office, Zhao Yang and Rem did not stay long, but took a bus home.

He planned to ask Elisa's decoration company to come over tomorrow to discuss how to decorate the third floor, and then do a thorough cleaning after that was done.

After Zhao Yang and his companion returned to the apartment, they saw a wooden box outside the iron fence, which contained the meteor hammer and leather armor they bought today.

He told the delivery person to just leave it at the door, so they didn't notify him to sign for it.

After Rem moved the boxes back home, she went to Zhao Yang's house to cook. After eating, she went back to start making maid uniforms.

Zhao Yang called Alyssa, and the call was quickly connected:

"Hey, Yang-chan?"

"It's me, Alisa-chan. I want to ask your company for a favor. Here's the thing... Yes, that's right, so I plan to renovate it... What? You can come over tomorrow, too. I'll wait for you at the office."

Zhao Yang hung up the phone.

…She was quite curious and said she would bring people here personally.

But it’s not bad this way. With this young lady around, there’s no need to worry about the people in her company not working hard.

After finding Alisa, he opened Miyuki's line and sent her a message, telling her about Rem and asking her to help him rush for the reward for killing the demon.

She didn't reply, maybe she was busy.

Zhao Yang finished his job and went to the garden to practice swordplay with ease.
