Chapter Thirty Keeping the Appointment

Ren Yuchen received Jin Ziran's friend request some time ago, not on a messaging app, but on a regular chat app.

After passing through, Jin Ziran was very enthusiastic and immediately explained that she had asked Liang Wen for his contact information.

Liang Wen is the class monitor of Jin Ziran's class in the second year of high school. He is also familiar with Ren Yuchen. The class monitors of the three grades of the Star Class often have interactions due to the company's arrangements.

Meng Fanxi asked, "What does he want to do?"

Ren Yuchen said, "They said their foundation in the first year of high school wasn't solid, and they wanted to borrow my notes."

Meng Fanxi's eyes widened suddenly, and his lips twitched, almost causing him to burst out laughing speechlessly.

Ren Yuchen is indeed skilled at taking notes. He is one of the few students in the Starlight Class who will organize the learning content into a set of electronic notes after class. His notes have saved Xu You many times, and many people have borrowed them.

But to say that these notes were so good that Jin Ziran, a senior student, came specifically to ask for them is a bit of an exaggeration.

Meng Fanxi found it hard to believe, but after calming down, she understood a little. "He's trying to lower your guard, isn't he?"

Ren Yuchen replied, "Now it seems so."

Jin Zi then continued to chat with Ren Yuchen, always maintaining a proper sense of propriety. The conversation gradually shifted from academics to the daily lives of trainees.

Ren Yuchen cooperated with him a few times and then figured out Jin Ziran's purpose: "He probably thinks I'm unhappy in Weier and wants to recruit me to Kaidi Entertainment."

Meng Fanxi felt he had heard the funniest joke of the month. "Why would he think that?"

Ren Yuchen analyzed: "It might be due to dropping two places in the last monthly exam, as well as some other factors."

"Other things?"

"It's hard to explain over the phone, let's talk about it when we meet. Anyway, it's normal for Jin Ziran to know about my drop in ranking in the monthly exam, since I'm still attending school with the trainees from Will. It's just that in other aspects..."

Ren Yuchen frowned slightly. "I suspect he did this on purpose. Zhang Yang and Lin Ruohe may have been approached by him in this way to achieve certain goals."

Meng Fanxi gasped.

He continued, "So I wanted to ask you how you feel. I always feel like you know Jin Ziran quite well."

What a terrifying intuition! Meng Fanxi's eyelids twitched violently. He didn't deny it; regarding Ren Yuchen's guess, he felt they were close to the answer. "Your guess is very likely. I don't think he would do something without a purpose. Now, what do you plan to do?"

Ren Yuchen spoke casually, even with a smile on his lips: "I've already promised him I'd go to Kaidi Entertainment to check out the place."

Meng Fanxi asked in surprise, "Are you serious?"

Ren Yuchen: "Of course, do you want to come with me?"

Meng Fanxi subconsciously clenched his fist, only to realize when he looked down that he had been holding the contract in his hand the whole time. Looking at the contract, he had an idea. "Go, bring a few more people."

Back in her familiar dormitory, after settling her luggage, Meng Fanxi instructed Gu Huailang to keep an eye on Xu You, and then slipped downstairs.

The reporting schedule at Weir Company is very tight. Reporting is done in the morning, and formal practice classes begin in the afternoon. No one is allowed to ask for leave or skip class without permission.

I only have time in the morning, but for safety reasons, I cannot leave the company at will.

Unless there is a guarantor from a company employee.

Wei was included in Meng Fanxi's plan under these circumstances.

Wei Ye glanced at the back seat from the driver's seat, complaining as he drove, "So I'm the driver, huh? They won't let me get in later."

Meng Fanxi smiled and said, "Brother Ye, let us handle this matter entirely. Your involvement might backfire. After all, Brother Zhang Yang doesn't like you very much either. At least I have his verbal promise and phone number from last time that I helped him find the CD. That's much better than you being rejected by him countless times."

Wei realized that the closer he got to these guys, the more sarcastic they became, and he was always the one in the wrong.

On the last night of Meng Fanxi's team building activity, Wei Ye mustered up his courage again to try to persuade Zhang Yang to give up his previous condition of bringing Jin Ziran along.

Before he could even speak, Zhang Yang told him to pretend that the request he had made last time was never mentioned. Before Wei could even feel happy, Zhang Yang said that he would not go back to Weir either, his tone resolute.

Wei's heart sank.

After discussing it, everyone decided that they should just add Lin Ruohe; that would be such a cohesive combination.

When Lin Ruo heard Zhang Yang's reaction, she was silent and negative, saying that they should think about it again, which was basically a polite refusal.

The last glimmer of hope vanished just like that.

Based on his past life, Meng Fanxi knew that Lin Ruohe still hoped to repair their friendship, and if they were to form a group, it would be best if she were to form a group with Zhang Yang.

As for whether Lin Ruohe would also insist on forming a group with Jin Ziran, Meng Fanxi looked out the car window at the figure standing on the roadside wearing a baseball cap and butterfly-shaped narrow-framed sunglasses, who was completely covered up. He secretly hoped that the plan would work, as he really didn't want to have anything to do with Jin Ziran anymore.

Lin Ruohe got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. He and Wei Ye had met before but were not close. After nodding to each other, they remained silent, and a faint awkwardness filled the air.

Meng Fanxi and Ren Yuchen lowered their heads in the back seat, suppressing their laughter. Their shoulders trembled, and they dared not look at each other, afraid that they would see the same gloating look in each other's eyes and burst out laughing.

They deliberately sat in the back seat for this moment.

Lin Ruohe was much younger than Wei Ye, but sitting in the passenger seat clearly gave Wei Ye an imposing aura, and his driving posture became much more standard, with his eyes fixed straight ahead.

It's really funny to see Wei Ye get his comeuppance every now and then.

Wei Ye naturally noticed the commotion behind him and, while Lin Ruohe was looking out the window, he shot her two more sharp glances.

Getting back to the main point, Lin Ruohe asked Meng Fanxi again, "Is Zhang Yang really willing to see me?"

Meng Fanxi replied without any hesitation, "Yes."

He wouldn't tell Lin Ruo that he had only arranged to meet Zhang Yang to discuss something. Anyway, once he closed the door, he didn't believe the two of them wouldn't be able to exchange a single word.

Lin Ruohe asked, "What about Jin Ziran?"

Meng Fanxi replied, "He has something to discuss with Ren Yuchen. You two can go find him after you finish talking."

Lin Ruo looked at Ren Yuchen with some doubt. Did they know each other?

Ren Yuchen calmly took out his phone and saw that it was indeed Jin Ziran's message inviting him to meet. Lin Ruohe's questions were then put to rest.

The upper part of the content was intentionally or unintentionally covered by Ren Yuchen's hand holding the phone, but Lin Ruohe didn't pay much attention to it.

Although Wei Ye was mainly acting as the driver this time, he felt extremely nervous and uncertain as he listened to their conversation, fearing that Meng Fanxi and Ren Yuchen might go too far.

After parking the car, Lin Ruohe was about to get out when Meng Fanxi quickly waved his hand, "Don't rush, let me ask Brother Zhang Yang if he's arrived yet."

He and Zhang Yang met at a restaurant near Kaidi Entertainment, which he had booked online in advance, and even reserved a private room.

Worried that Zhang Yang might see Lin Ruo upstairs and turn away, Meng Fanxi specifically called the boss and asked for a private room without windows, especially one where he couldn't see what was happening downstairs.

He also calculated the time with Ren Yuchen and Wei Ye, and set off a little later. Based on the last impression, Zhang Yang was very punctual and should already be sitting inside. This way, the two sides would not meet downstairs and Zhang Yang would turn around and leave.

Meng Fanxi was very cautious. He dialed Zhang Yang's number to confirm that he had indeed arrived before getting off the car with Lin Ruohe.

"Shall we go over there?" Wei also rolled down the car window and greeted Meng Fanxi. He was driving Ren Yuchen to Kaidi Entertainment.

Meng Fanxi waved, "Go on, Brother Ye."

Then he bent down and signaled to Ren Yuchen that the operation should begin. The other party understood and rolled up the car window.

Meng Fanxi's breath trembled as he led Lin Ruohe up the stairs to the private room upstairs; he didn't know why he was suddenly so nervous.

Perhaps it was because Zhang Yang had left a deep impression on him several times, and because he was also very individualistic in his previous life, and was said to be one of the protagonists in the fight within the VIER team, although this was unconfirmed, but Meng Fanxi finally realized that he was a little guilty about lying.

Lin Ruohe followed behind him without saying a word; their silence seemed out of place in the bustling restaurant.

The door to the private room was ajar. Meng Fanxi pushed it open and led Lin Ruohe inside.

Meng Fanxi walked ahead and witnessed Zhang Yang's relaxed expression freeze when he saw the person behind him, then his face instantly became expressionless, and he became cold and distant.

horrible.

Meng Fanxi tensed up immediately, but he maintained his smile with his superb acting skills. "Brother Zhang Yang, there must be some misunderstanding between you, the team leader, and Brother Ruohe that you haven't cleared up. Let's talk it out today. I'm going outside now. Just call me if you need anything."

He turned around and patted Lin Ruohe on the shoulder to encourage him.

Then he strode out in a few quick steps, closed the door, and didn't dare let go of the handle.

The waiter delivering the food gave him a strange look at his posture, which was almost pressed against the door.

The soundproofing is really good. Meng Fanxi was a little disappointed. He straightened up, mindful of his image, and switched hands to hold the door.

He held his phone in one hand and communicated the progress with Ren Yuchen.

Meng Fanxi: "How are things on your end?"

Ren Yuchen: "We're chatting, but haven't gotten to the main topic yet. What about you?"

Meng Fanxi: "I don't think anyone has flipped the table in the last two minutes." After sending this message, he was a little unsure. Surely the door wasn't so soundproof that you couldn't hear someone flipping the table?

Ren Yuchen: "Keep in touch."

Meng Fanxi: "OK"

Meng Fanxi waited outside the door for about ten minutes, then went to the empty private room next door, moved a stool, and sat down at the door.

The shop owner couldn't stand it anymore and walked up to him. "It's been so long, aren't you going to order?"

Meng Fanxi: "..." I forgot about the most important thing.

He took out his phone and started ordering. He ordered several dishes, all of which were his favorites, but he couldn't eat them.

Exquisite dishes were served into the private room in a continuous stream. Meng Fanxi was afraid that the people inside might be arguing and rush out, so he was always ready to break up the fight.

To his surprise, everything was very calm. He casually peeked through the crack in the door while the food was being delivered and saw that the two people were indeed talking.

He slowly let out a sigh of relief.

About ten minutes later, the door opened from the inside, startling Meng Fanxi so much that he immediately sat up straight and turned off the Candy Crush game he had been playing for three rounds.

Lin Ruohe seemed relaxed and in a good mood. He smiled and said, "Fanxi, come in. Aren't you hungry?"

Meng Fanxi then stood up and walked inside.
