Chapter 40
I AM A MATCHMAKER ON TAOBAO CHAPTER 40
Shen Chuchu froze for a while after Chen Xili’s words then asked, “To attend one or all, is that a problem?”
Shen Chuchu actually did not understand Chen Xili’s approach since there was competition within and outside of the company . After all, she was under Chen Xili and even the director insisted, then Chen Xili should have accepted . There must be something in here that she was not aware of…
Chen Xili slowly replied, “Of course there is a problem . As a newcomer who has only shot a few commercials and not been in a single drama, having too many variety shows will ruin your good image . If you were a lead role then it would have been fine but you are only the third female supporting role and several others were also in supporting roles too . It is excessive to have too much exposure sometimes . Many people will assume that you relied on improper means and this circle is just like that . As long as someone doubts you then you will be unable to clear your reputation for life . Your own explanation will be wrong and you will still be in the wrong if you do not explain . ”
Shen Chuchu suddenly understood when Chen Xili finished . Since joining the circle, she had developed a habit of checking Weibo every day . She understood the meaning of Chen Xili’s words . Frequent hot searches of some celebrities would indeed intrigue people and some unfamiliar newcomers with neither work nor strength would cause speculations .
“Yes, I will listen to you . ”
This answer was expected by Chen Xili and she nodded, “Well, originally I thought it would be great to get you a Z channel variety show, but because of the director, you can now be on a better S channel . This one is enough to give you exposure . ”
“Thank you, Executive Chen . ”
Chen Xili smiled, “Just call me Chen-jie . Right, I recently arranged a tutor to teach you specifically about things you should be mindful of while on the variety show . Since this is your first appearance in front of everyone, it would be better if nothing goes wrong . Also, make sure to exercise when you go home as there will be sports activities on the variety show . It’s not good to be too weak . ”
“…Okay . ”
For Shen Chuchu, sports activities would undoubtedly be a very painful thing . Fortunately, she had her period to protect her and could relax for a few days . Just like this, Shen Chuchu attended acting class, variety class and exercised . On her rest day, she took Wang Qian to the sales office .
Ever since earning her first one hundred thousand, Shen Chuchu started planning to buy a house . She had already looked at many listings online already but this would be her first time seeing one in real life . The nature of her job meant that she was usually too busy to look at houses . Nowadays, the money in her hands keeps increasing . The payment from the shooting of [Xiao Yi] and Matchmaking on Taobao meant she had plenty of money now . Moreover, she rarely spent money so no wonder it all saved up .
She must make haste to view the listing or else the money would no longer be enough for a down payment after a while .
After a few houses, Shen Chuchu was more interested in the eighty square metres high-end apartments that could be moved into right away . As an outsider, owning your own house was both a very pressing and significant matter . Moreover, Shen Chuchu did not pay too much attention to the renovation of the house . If someone could provide a renovated house then she could save a lot of hassle .
However, this particular house compared to the others was way more expensive . She did not have enough money for the down payment . Sure enough, it confirmed the words of the great poet, “It’s not easy to live in the capital . ”
“Miss, you really need to seriously consider . The housing type here is one floor and two households . The environment in the community is very good and the protection measures are also very good . Many celebrities and business people live in our community . Today’s occupancy rate has reached 80%, if you hesitate any more, it may be gone soon . Like this one on the twenty-sixth floor . If the occupier did not back out, you really wouldn’t get anything better than this . ”
Shen Chuchu knew the houses here were good and she too wanted to buy it .
“Do you want me to take you to look around so you can decide?”
Shen Chuchu replied decidedly, “Okay . ”
Naturally, she wanted to view the listing that she was satisfied with . On the twenty-sixth floor, the salesperson opened the door and said, “Miss Shen, look, the inside is still brand new . The previous owner returned the apartment to us before even getting the keys . Apparently, they were immigrating to the States . So you can rest assured it is definitely not second-hand . ”
Shen Chuchu looked at the low-key luxurious renovation and became even more satisfied with the look . Moreover, standing on the balcony one could see the lake below and feel the wind’s refreshing air blowing in . This house was really something that was hard to come by . She was even beginning to think about whether she could borrow some money from her parents and friends to pay the deposit . After all, she now had a stable source of money and she could also make some money if she took on more films .

At this thought, Shen Chuchu became even more reluctant as she walked out .
As she walked out, Shen Chuchu saw a familiar person in front of her .
“CEO Han?”
Ever since Han Xingyan received this property, he had only stayed here for one night a few days ago and left a document here when he left in a hurry previously . So today, he came here to find it and did not expect to see Shen Chuchu .
“Miss Shen . ”
The salesperson saw that Shen Chuchu knew a resident here and felt the likelihood of selling today had increased . The salesperson chimed in, “Miss Shen, look your friend also stays here . You can ask him about his personal experience . The houses here are definitely worth the money . Plus it is so much more convenient to live beside familiar people . ”
Shen Chuchu felt slightly awkward, how could she and CEO Han be friends? CEO Han was more like her benefactor and they were from two different worlds . She smiled slightly but said nothing .
Han Xingyan glanced at Shen Chuchu and asked, “Miss Shen want to buy a house here?”
Shen Chuchu nodded, “Yes, that’s the plan . ”
Han Xingyan nodded slightly and said nothing more .

After entering the elevator, everyone fell silent . Just a moment ago, only Shen Chuchu felt awkward but now it was everyone . Even the talkative salesperson was also silent .
Outside of the apartment building, the salesperson wanted to drive them back to the sales-building but Han Xingyan said, “Miss Shen, please wait . ”
Shen Chuchu was about to leave with Wang Qian but stopped in her tracks and curiously looked at Han Xingyan .
The salesperson said understandingly, “I’ll leave you guys to it and take my leave first . Miss Shen, feel free to contact me anytime but you better be fast or else it will be sold soon . ”
Shen Chuchu nodded, “Alright, thank you . ”
When the salesperson left, Han Xingyan said, “Miss Shen, the environment is good here . If you want to buy a house here then let me know . I know Executive Ling and can give you a discount . ”
Shen Chuchu could not believe this was the reason why Han Xingyan stopped her . She looked at him with a surprised look and asked, “How much of a discount?”
Han Xingyan looked at Shen Chuchu’s serious expression and suddenly felt stuck . How much of a discount…he did not know . He looked at Shen Chuchu’s longing expression and randomly said a figure, “Around twenty percent off . ”
Shen Chuchu heard this figure and her mouth almost fell down . Twenty percent? This must be a joke, right? For an internal price, a five or ten percent discount was already pretty good but he actually said twenty .
Han Xingyan suddenly felt he said the wrong thing when he saw Shen Chuchu’s shocked expression . He has never bought a house before and even this one was a gift from a friend so he was also not sure about the specifics . However, is twenty percent high or low?

Shen Chuchu calmed down and said, “Looks like CEO Han and Executive Ling’s relationship is very good . ”
Han Xingyan nodded, “Yes, it’s alright . ” They were actually childhood friends .
Truthfully, Shen Chuchu was swayed by Han Xingyan’s mention of a discount but the discount seemed a bit too high and made one feel…well, ashamed . After all, they weren’t close friends and she would rather not take this advantage .
At this thought, Shen Chuchu rejected with a smile, “Thank you CEO, I will continue to look . ”
Han Xingyan saw Shen Chuchu’s expression and felt the discount he mentioned previously was too high and had caused the opposite effect . He thought a while then replied, “Miss Shen, you don’t have to . Many housing prices here are speculated and he would still earn a profit even with a twenty percent discount . In fact, they have already begun to make money when it is sold for less than one-third of its price . He has made a lot of money now so there is no need to save money for the likes of him . ”
Shen Chuchu felt Han Xingyan spoke too well and each word poked her heart . She wanted to buy it, and after listening to this, she started to waver . It’s just…
“But, wouldn’t it mean that CEO Han owes him a favour?”
Han Xingyan smiled, “No, actually he owes me a favour . ”
Shen Chuchu moved her lips and shyly said, “Then I would owe you another favour . I seem to always owe you one . ”
Han Xingyan smiled again, “Not at all . Didn’t Miss Shen already pay the one million back to me?”
