This was a new place for her, and she didn’t want to trouble Aunt Su with these trivial things, so she wanted to solve her room and board in the company.
Coming from an ordinary family, she arrived with a bank card containing only 5,000 yuan.
1,000 of it was an allowance that her mother gave to her, and she earned the other 4,000 yuan by teaching students to dance.
With the little money on her, she couldn’t live in a hotel or she’d go broke very soon.
“Um… I’ll arrange it later,” Huo Mian said.
After all, she had told Su Yu that the girl was her distant relative, so she couldn’t move into Su Yu’s house as Zeng Rou had done.
“President Su, where do other trainees live?”
“They all live in the company dorms,” Su Yu said.
“Can I live in the dorm, too? I can pay for it,” Han Yueyao said.
“Um…” Su Yu glanced at Huo Mian, not sure what to do.
“Don’t live in the dorm. I’ll rent an apartment for you, Yao.” Huo Mian was afraid Aunt Su would be displeased if she allowed the girl to live in the dorm.
She intended to pay for the rent for the girl.
“Sister Mian, I’m not a spoiled rich girl… I used to live in a dorm accommodating six girls in the dancing academy. The school offers better rooms shared by four people or even two people, but I didn’t want to take too much money from my parents since my tuition in the past years was a great burden for them. They work for salaries and don’t have any extra income. I’d hate to burden them more than necessary.”
The others were surprised to hear her words.
Su Yu glanced at the girl and then at Huo Mian.
“You don’t have to pay for the boarding. The dorm rooms are provided to trainees for free. You can live there if you want, but don’t worry, you only need to share a room with one girl,” said Su Yu.
“Wow, that’s great. Thank you, Su Yu.”
“You can’t call me Su Yu in the company,” Su Yu told her.
“Got it, President Su.” Han Yueyao grinned, revealing her cute canine tooth.
They finished the supper cheerfully. Then Han Yueyao followed Su Yu to his car.
“Huh? Aren’t you going to stay at Huo Mian’s place tonight?” Su Yu thought that she was Huo Mian’s relative.
“It’s late. I’ll go and see Sister Mian’s daughters on the weekend. Tonight, I want to go to the dorm and see if I need anything, so I can buy them while the night is still young.”
“Yaoyao, it’s too late for that. Come and stay the night at my home.”
“Thank you, Sister Mian. But I’m a grown woman and you don’t have to worry about me.”
Seeing her determination, Huo Mian didn’t pursue the topic.
Su Yu nodded and drove Han Yueyao to the employees’ dorm building near Imperial Star with An.
When she entered her room, she found her roommate hadn’t returned yet.
She unpacked and made a list of daily necessities that she needed to buy.
Then, Mrs. Su’s call came.
“Yao…”
“Hello, Auntie Su.”
“Mian told me that you’re in the employees’ dorm?”
“Yeah.”
“But I’ve arranged a two-bedroom apartment for you.”
“It’s not necessary, Auntie. You’ve done more than enough for me by getting me into Imperial Star. I’m indebted to you.”
“Don’t mention it. Your teacher is my good friend and it’s my duty to take care of you.”
“Thank you, but I can’t impose on you like this. I’ll feel embarrassed.”
“Yao, did you see my son Su Yu?”
“Yes, I did.”
“What do you think of him?” Mrs. Su asked directly.
