Chapter 134: Relationship Advances Rapidly

Jiang Lili's reaction was a bit exaggerated, and Lu Hongzhe quickly guessed: "Do you need something from Quan City?"

"Yes, but not now." She also planned to set up a parent leisure area in the indoor amusement park and introduce some drinks. During her trip to Quan City, she had tasted many delicious drinks. No matter where the specialty is from, it requires raw materials from the place of origin to be perfectly reproduced. She had been worried about how to transport those things from Quan City, but she didn't expect that the problem they were worried about would be solved so easily.

"It has just been opened. If you need anything, you can contact me directly." Lu Hongzhe guessed that it might be related to the indoor amusement park she had planned before.

The topic of conversation quickly ended as they arrived at their destination. As they entered the store, they saw Jiang Liangbo waving at them: "Lili, Aunt Jiang, this way."

"You've been waiting for a long time, right?" Jiang Yulan looked at the two of them apologetically.

"No, we just got here too. Aunt Jiang, please order the dishes." Jiang Liangbo handed over the menu while speaking. She did not refuse. She ordered a few dishes at random and passed the menu to the next person.

They didn't have a rule of not talking while eating. They ate and drank, and then shared a few words about their daily lives. Of course, the highlight was Jiang Liangbo raising his glass and looking at Jiang Lili: "Lili, thanks to you for helping us oversee the renovations those few days. Now that we're halfway through, the subsequent construction is all delicate work, so you don't have to oversee it every day."

"Indeed, we won't have to run around so often later on." Jiang Lili nodded. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Afterwards, Lu Hongzhe was once again the one to take mother and daughter home. Jiang Yulan casually asked, "Hongzhe, do you report to school at the same time as Lili and the others?"

"Almost. I will take good care of her at school in the future. You don't have to worry, Aunt Jiang." Lu Hongzhe knew her concerns.

"I feel relieved with your words." Jiang Yulan breathed a sigh of relief. However, Jiang Lili next to her felt that there seemed to be something wrong with these words, but her mind was a little fuzzy and she couldn't tell what was wrong specifically.

After the meal, whether it was Lu Hongzhe and his team or the Tongqu players, everyone started to get busy. The three professional versions of Jiang Lili had all been handed over to the design department, and the next step was to wait for the finalization of the patterns. Jiang Lili also began to prepare for the start of school.

Since the university needed a dormitory, Jiang Yulan planned to ask for leave to accompany her to prepare her things for admission, but was directly rejected by Jiang Lili. She smiled and said, "I can do it myself. Instead of this, why don't you go and help me negotiate the price of the shop."

"Can you really do it?" Jiang Yulan was persuaded by her. After all, saving money is also important.

"Don't worry, I can do it, don't worry." Jiang Lili put her hands on her shoulders.

Jiang Yulan thought about it. She was already a college student, so she could let go of some things. So she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go compare the prices of those shops and compare them again when you come back."

"No rush, this can be done slowly, now you go to work first."

With the experience of her previous life, Jiang Lili prepared all the necessities for the start of school this time, so she prepared very neatly. The day before school started, she ran into Lu Hongzhe and his friends in the cafeteria again. He took the initiative to ask her, "Have you prepared everything for school?"

"Everything is ready. Just wait to report tomorrow." Jiang Lili nodded, indicating that she was ready.

"We'll send you there together tomorrow." Lu Hongzhe didn't forget what they had said before.

"Is it too exaggerated?" Jiang Lili looked at them one by one with some hesitation.

"That's not an exaggeration. Last year, I saw a whole family coming to send their children to school." Jiang Liangbo shook his head, indicating that there was absolutely no problem.

"Then I'll be honored to refuse." This time, Jiang Lili did not refuse.

"Then we'll come and pick you up tomorrow morning." After Lu Hongzhe said that, he noticed the empty seat over there, so the four of them sat at the same table.

"How does the food in the school cafeteria taste?" Jiang Lili suddenly remembered this.

"Compared to this cafeteria, there are a lot more dishes here. The only bad thing is that the taste is a bit worse." Jiang Liangbo said as he fiercely ate the food in the bowl. The food in the school cafeteria didn't taste like this.

"Is there a big difference?" Jiang Lili was a little curious.

"Everyone has different tastes, so this may lead to different evaluations and feelings. You will know when you try it yourself tomorrow." Lu Ziming chuckled after saying this. Everyone has different tastes, and what they like may not be liked by others.

"That makes sense. Let's wait until tomorrow to have our first meal in the school cafeteria." Although Hua said this, Jiang Lili no longer had any hope for the school cafeteria.

Jiang Yulan had been busy at work recently because the factory was preparing new products. When she got home from get off work that evening, Jiang Lili had already packed her things for reporting to school tomorrow. She stepped forward and asked, "What time do you leave tomorrow?"

"Around 8:30, Brother Hongzhe and his two classmates will send me off. This is what they promised before, and I can't let them go back on their word, right?" Jiang Lili explained why she didn't want him to accompany her tomorrow.

"No, I have to take you there. I've even borrowed a camera." Jiang Yulan shook her head. How could she be absent from such an important occasion?

In Jing City, everyone is busy preparing for Jiang Lili's enrollment. In Yuncheng, Ji Mingyue can rest assured after crossing out the last number on her calendar. She can leave tomorrow. She has been living in dire straits for almost a month since Ye Qiuju's phone number was discovered last time. Not only does that old man order her around every day, but Ji Yushu no longer favors her. Tomorrow, she can finally leave this damn place.

Because of Lu Jiaze's insistence, he chose to take the train to Nanshi this time. Qiu Shaoli straightened his collar while reluctantly saying goodbye. As the mother and son were talking, a sudden voice came from the side: "What a coincidence, Lu Jiaze, are you going to Nanshi to study too?"

"Yeah." Lu Jiaze's attitude towards her was still too cold.

"Me too." Ji Mingyue's tone was full of surprise.

Lu Jiaze didn't say anything, but Qiu Shaoli was a little angry. It was really true that good things didn't work and bad things came true. Her original worries had turned out like this. She turned her head and glanced at Ji Mingyue. She absolutely didn't believe in such a coincidence.

Ji Mingyue was very sensitive to emotions. She noticed Qiu Shaoli's dissatisfaction with her almost immediately. She clenched her fists and tightened them again. She thought that her dislike for herself was because of the mother and daughter of the Jiang family. When she looked up again, the emotions in her eyes had subsided.

"Woo woo woo" the sound of the train starting sounded, Qiu Shaoli stood on the platform and watched the people in the carriage.

Although they were lucky enough to buy tickets for a train, the carriages were very far apart. Ji Mingyue simply exchanged seats with someone else. Before he could say anything, she took the initiative to explain, "This is my first time taking such a long train. I feel more at ease sitting with people I know. Mr. Lu, don't you mind?"

Lu Jiaze simply nodded in understanding, then gestured for her to be quiet. This made Ji Mingyue, who had originally prepared a topic, look down in embarrassment. She wondered if summer vacation was starting to make things awkward again. The strategy value above his head didn't fluctuate. Staring at the number thirty, Ji Mingyue began to think about her strategy plan for the start of school.

After arriving at the school, Jiang Lili found that Jiang Liangbo was not lying. Almost all the freshmen who came to register had many people around them to see Yue off. It was not an exaggeration that three of her people came together to see him off. Originally, Jiang Yulan had packed up and would come together to see her off, but there was an emergency in the workshop that needed his attention.

The dormitory conditions at National Tsing Hua University were quite good. They helped her carry her things to the dormitory. The three of them quickly turned around and said, "We'll be waiting for you downstairs. If you have any questions, just call us."

"I understand. You guys go downstairs and wait for me." After all, it was a girls' dormitory, so she needed to avoid suspicion. She only needed to make the beds and clean. She could do it herself.

The three of them arrived at the dormitory building and stared at the freshmen who kept coming towards the dormitory. Jiang Liangbo smiled and said, "School is much more lively now than it was back then."

"It's indeed much more lively, and it seems that there are more freshmen this year than before." Lu Ziming casually looked at the freshmen on the road, and suddenly remembered that this was also the road they took to get here.

It was more than half an hour after Jiang Lili and the other two came down. She trotted over to the three of them and said with a smile, "Thank you all for your help today. Can I treat you all to dinner?"

"Don't be so polite." Jiang Liangbo refused subconsciously.

"Let me put it another way. Can you accompany me to the cafeteria for dinner?" Jiang Lili said and looked at the three of them with a smile.

"There's still more than an hour before dinner time. Can I take you around the school?" Lu Hongzhe replied after glancing at the time.

"Okay, let's go shopping first." Jiang Lili said as she touched her belly. Let's just put up with it for the time being.

"My feet hurt. Let's find a place to rest and meet at the cafeteria entrance later." Lu Ziming pulled Lu Ziming who wanted to follow. Fortunately, he was not stupid and quickly took over his conversation.

"Why did you pull me just now?" Jiang Liangbo was a little puzzled. Although they were not freshmen, it was always okay to walk around the campus, right?

Seeing Jiang Liangbo like this, Lu Ziming sighed. Didn't this guy see something? Wasn't he very smart in the past? Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Lu Ziming could only point it out and said unhappily, "Look at the look on Old Lu's face. Does it mean he wants us to come together?"

Almost half a minute passed before Jiang Liangbo suddenly came to his senses: "Damn, could it be what I thought?"

Lu Ziming glanced at him and said slowly: "It should be what you think."

*

Tsinghua University is worthy of being a century-old prestigious university. The school environment is very good. Lu Hongzhe took her to visit all the famous scenery in the school. An hour passed quickly. When Lu Hongzhe suggested going to dinner, Jiang Lili still looked reluctant to leave.

"Are you going back to the dormitory now?" After dinner, they all looked at Jiang Lili.

"Well, let me see if there are any group activities in the dormitory that I need to participate in." If nothing unexpected happens, she will live in this dormitory for at least four years, so the relationship with roommates also needs to be maintained.

"Then we should go back." Lu Ziming said in a low voice.

"Okay, by the weekend the renovations at Huajianlouji will probably be finished." Jiang Lili reminded them to go with her to check on the progress.

This is not Jiang Lili's first time in college. She is very comfortable with her roommates. So far, her roommates are quite easy to get along with, so she is very satisfied.

The most important thing about a good school is the atmosphere. At dawn, some people were studying English words and getting up early for a morning run. Jiang Lili yawned. She didn't expect that universities at this time would be so competitive. She had no choice but to follow suit.

In just a week, the renovation progress at Huajianlouji was almost completed. Jiang Lili stared at the almost completed decoration in a daze. It seemed that they might not have to wait that long to move in. These people were quite fast.

"After comparing many aspects, I think the shops in Huajianlouji are the most worthy of investment." Jiang Yulan handed the comparison she had made in the past few days to Jiang Lili, waiting for her final decision.

"Then let's go to Huajianlouji." Apart from the city center, this is the place Jiang Lili has already started considering.

"Then find a time to settle things?" Jiang Yulan asked her.

"Well, it's better to finalize it sooner rather than later, so that someone else won first." When Jiang Lili mentioned this, she remembered that she hadn't even started drawing the design of the indoor playground yet.

"How are you guys doing? Are you done? Have you bought the furniture?" Jiang Lili couldn't help but ask when she saw the other three people coming over.

"I'm quite satisfied with it for now. Once this place is cleaned, we can move the furniture in. I guess we'll consider moving in soon." This was said by Lu Ziming. The other two were also probably satisfied. Jiang Lili reminded them to ventilate the house after the decoration was completed and not to rush to move in.

Over the summer, Jiang Liangbo and his friends had already obtained their driver's licenses. Jiang Lili glanced at the people next to her, unsure when she would get hers. On the way back, Jiang Yulan told her, "The professional edition blind box you mentioned will officially go on sale tomorrow. Will this also be limited edition?"

"I think so." Cheng Yuntian tasted the sweetness of the last hunger marketing, and she would definitely not be willing to give up.

"What if it sells very well? Will you stop producing it?" Jiang Yulan couldn't help but frown. She actually has always disapproved of their so-called hunger marketing.

"Mom, I think you have to understand one thing. It is because of the words 'limited production' that consumers are stimulated to buy it." Jiang Lili reminded in a gentle voice that everyone will rush to buy it. Most people like it, and a small number of people like it because it is limited.

"Everyone has vanity. If you can buy a unique toy with the same amount of money, which one would you choose?" Jiang Lili asked back.

In the following month, while Jiang Lili was busy getting familiar with university life, the house in Huajianlouji was renovated and the furniture was arranged. Thinking of the computer they gave her, she took the initiative to find Lu Hongzhe.

This was the first time she had contacted them since the start of the school year. Lu Hongzhe looked at her in surprise: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, I've finished the renovation. Could you please bring the computer that was in your office to my new home?"

"Is this weekend okay?" Lu Hongzhe discussed the time with her.

"Okay, we'll wait for you at home then." Jiang Lili nodded happily.

"Is everything done over there?" Unlike the speed on her side, Lu Hongzhe's house was still being put to the final touches.

"Yes, everything is ready. Yours will be ready soon, right?" Jiang Lili asked casually, but she was thinking about Jiang Jianyi's previous statement that he would come to the greenhouse. It seemed that she should remind him later.

What Lu Hongzhe didn't mention was that they were practically procrastinating. When they bought their house, everyone wanted to own their own place, and they thought a long commute wouldn't be a problem. But when the time finally came, they were willing to stay where they were, and none of them wanted to waste time commuting, so they all chose to procrastinate. Jiang Lili was completely unaware of this. She smiled and said, "It's almost done, but I guess I have to wait until Mom gets her driver's license before I can move in."

"Aunt Jiang hasn't passed the exam yet?" Lu Hongzhe was a little surprised.

"Shh, don't say that in front of my mom." Jiang Lili quickly reminded.

"I understand." Lu Hongzhe was also infected by her smile, and a smile appeared between his brows.

Today was the weekend. When Jiang Lili returned home, the factory was still open. After putting down her things, she went straight to the office. When she pushed the door open, she found that Cheng Yuntian was also there. She was a little surprised: "Sister Cheng is here too?"

"Yes, we are counting the blind box orders. Lili, do you know how many orders there are this time?" Cheng Yuntian's previous excitement had gradually subsided.

"More than before?" Jiang Lili guessed.

"Can't you be more thoughtful? The orders for blind boxes this time are twice as many as last time. It's the same type of product, but the orders have surpassed the previous figures. Maybe we can launch new models of this blind box series every year?" Cheng Yuntian said, looking at the person next to him.

"Sister Cheng, have you forgotten what I said before about creating the IP of the three little ones? I mentioned before that we could release blind boxes and dolls every year." Jiang Lili looked at her helplessly.

"Sorry, I forgot. This time the order for blind boxes made me dizzy." Cheng Yuntian said apologetically.

"The first time it was sold in limited quantities, some people who wanted to buy it were unable to do so, so it's normal that the order quantity this time is larger than the previous one." Jiang Lili calmly analyzed the order with her.

Cheng Yuntian was silent. She hadn't considered this reason. As for customer feedback, their product feedback was always very good. She rubbed her brows and said, "Then we'll continue production according to the previous numbers. Oh, Wen Yu has drawn a new blueprint. Do you want to take a look?"

After the blind box order was processed, the next step was to take possession of the house. The house belonging to the mother and daughter was completely completed. Jiang Lili asked, "Mom, when will grandpa come over?"

"I bought him a plane ticket for tomorrow." Jiang Jianyi is old, and Jiang Yulan thinks it is more convenient for him to take a plane.

"Then you must remember to convince him to spend the New Year here. As long as he agrees, my uncle will definitely agree too."

"You little smartass, go and have some rest." In addition to being bothered by work, Jiang Yulan was also worried about her driver's license test. She was going to move there soon. Could she still keep riding in Lu Hongzhe's car?

After receiving the house from the renovation team, Jiang Lili handed them a design drawing. They looked at her in confusion, so Jiang Lili explained, "I'm planning to renovate the shop downstairs. When are you free?"

"Probably next week." replied the decoration team.

"Okay, I'll wait." A week was not a big deal for her. The most important thing was that she was still revising the design drawings. She and the decoration team had already gotten along well, and she didn't want to get along with a new decoration team.

It happened to be a Monday when Jiang Jianyi arrived in Beijing. Jiang Lili was in school. The old man was waiting for her at the school gate with a camera he had brought specially. She was a little surprised when she received the call. She ran out of the school and saw the man at the gate, fiddling with the camera and taking pictures. Seeing him, Jiang Lili couldn't help but slow down her pace. Before she could think of how to greet him, he turned around and said to her with a smile, "Lili, come over quickly and ask your mother to take a picture of us together. I'll take it back to show those old men. They will be so envious."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Jiang Lili said helplessly. It took more than half an hour to take all the photos. After eating something to finish lunch, Jiang Lili urged, "Mom, you and grandpa go back first. I'll come back tomorrow afternoon when I don't have classes. Have you taken him to see the new house?"

"No, as soon as he landed, he kept saying that he wanted to come see you first, and then go over there tomorrow. The blind box orders have finished these few days, and the workshop is not busy. I took two days off to accompany your grandfather, so don't worry about it."

"Okay." Jiang Lili felt relieved upon hearing this. She waited until the taxi they were in was completely out of sight before turning back to school. Compared to high school, college courses were relatively easy, but she couldn't slack off if she wanted to graduate successfully. She yawned and flicked off her small desk lamp. She'd been busy these past few days working on the designs for her indoor amusement park. The renovations would take time, and procuring the necessary toys and equipment would take even more. If all went well, the indoor amusement park could open during the winter break.

Jiang Jianyi probably felt unaccustomed, so he only stayed in Beijing for half a month before returning. Jiang Lili looked at him reluctantly, "Are you really not going to stay for a few more days?"

"It's the end of October and it's almost November. The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer. We will come here again soon." Jiang Jianyi said with a smile.

"So, Grandpa, you agree to come to Beijing for the New Year this year?" Jiang Lili was a little surprised.

"Yes, I see your aunt has been collecting various tutoring classes since you left. I guess she will make a decision soon." Zhou Qingfen has always been a man of action.

"Then we'll wait for you in Beijing. I'll bring Tongtong here as soon as she's on vacation. I've promised her a lot of things, and I don't want her to call me a liar." Jiang Lili rambled on and on, and she didn't even know she could be so talkative.

"Okay, I'll bring her here when she has winter vacation." Jiang Jianyi said with a smile.

"Lili, are you still in touch with Jiaze?" Jiang Jianyi's topic jumped a bit.

"We all went to university in different cities, so naturally we had less and less contact. Why did you suddenly mention him?" Jiang Lili looked at him with some confusion.

"I'm just asking casually. I remember you used to get along well with him." Jiang Jianyi said evasively.

"It's pretty good. We grew up together, so what's the point? Grandpa, did you see him?" Jiang Lili couldn't help but guess that he wouldn't mention Lu Jiaze for no reason.

Seeing this, Jiang Jianyi no longer concealed it: "Yes, at the beginning of the month during the National Day holiday, Lao Xu and I went out for tea and saw him shopping with that girl Ji Mingyue. The two seemed to know each other well. I remember that boy used to hate her."

"They are both studying in college in Nanshi. It's normal for them to go back to Yuncheng together for shopping during the holidays. Don't worry about others!" Jiang Lili's tone was the same as usual, but she couldn't help but feel surprised. In just over a month, has their relationship made such rapid progress?
