In another part of Guan Baiyu's life, Shi Zhen bought him a computer and several single-player games for him to play.

However, Shi Zhen himself is not interested in games and never touches a computer. Although he is somewhat interested, he doesn't use it much and isn't even proficient at typing.

He was too busy at the time.

Even so, he picked it up very quickly and deliberately used it more often and practiced more.

He's going to study an internet-related major, so he definitely needs to be familiar with computers.

Shi Zhen recently bought another computer and put it in the company. The three of them then take turns using the two computers.

However, Guan Baiyu didn't stay at the company in the afternoon; he was going to the house he and Shi Zhenxin had recently bought to check on the renovations.

That was his and Shi Zhen's home. They both took it very seriously. Shi Zhen hired the best workers, and not just one, but several to renovate together.

As for Guan Baiyu, he would go over to supervise the work every afternoon.

Because their interior design is not complicated and they have a lot of workers, they should be able to finish the renovations before the start of the school year.

That morning, as soon as Guan Baiyu arrived at the company, he turned on his computer and went online to read various information.

Online forums and similar platforms are still quite primitive; you have to remember the URLs yourself, the computer screen flickers, and the speed is extremely slow...

Guan Baiyu read the posts for a while, then started typing again, typing out all of Shizhen Company's documents and standard contract templates, and saving them to his computer.

That way, it will be very convenient when you need to use it.

Most importantly, he can also practice typing.

He was busy for a while when Qi Xiaowu arrived, and Guan Baiyu asked him to help with the hitting. As for Zhao Qiujuan, she just sat aside and read a book.

Guan Baiyu had some basic skills and had been practicing deliberately recently. His typing speed far surpassed Qi Xiaowu's, and even Zhao Qiujuan, who had been practicing for so long, had been caught up by him.

Zhao Qiujuan is slow to see things and slow to recognize words when typing, but he can do it with just a glance.

He also practiced the correct typing technique, which made him more efficient.

Qi Xiaowu was filled with admiration as he watched Guan Baiyu's fingers fly across the keyboard. Guan Baiyu learned things so fast!

Moreover... he recently discovered that Guan Baiyu is very knowledgeable about many things in the company after working with him recently.

He used to think that Guan Baiyu's good grades were because he had no worries and could focus on his studies... That's not true at all!

He's a genius!

Putting everything else aside, Guan Baiyu could also teach his older sister about accounting... something he knew absolutely nothing about!

The two were busy all morning, and by noon, Zhao Qiujuan had already prepared lunch.

Shi Zhen specifically allocated money for their meals, and Zhao Qiujuan didn't skimp on any of it. Sometimes she would even add her own money to buy snacks, so their meals were very plentiful.

"Sis, my brother will be coming over for dinner today. Let's wait for him," Guan Baiyu said.

Shi Zhen had told him beforehand that he would come over for lunch.

“Okay,” Zhao Qiujuan said.

Qi Xiaowu looked back and forth between Guan Baiyu and Zhao Qiujuan, feeling that something was amiss.

How come there's absolutely no flirtation between Guan Baiyu and his girlfriend?

If Guan Baiyu's girlfriend isn't Zhao Qiujuan, then who is she? He's never seen Guan Baiyu interact with anyone else.

Qi Xiaowu was just wondering when Shi Zhen arrived.

After Shi Zhen finished eating, he took Guan Baiyu to their new home, and then went to the construction site.

Guan Baiyu learned carpentry from his master. He worked on construction sites and gained some knowledge in various fields.

Later, when Shi Zhen's company expanded and he encountered difficulties that he had nowhere else to talk to, he would talk to him, and the two of them would work together to find solutions. So he was quite familiar with Shi Zhen's business.

Shi Zhen's company is developing faster now than it was in his previous life, but in terms of scale, it is still not as large as it was five or six years later in his previous life.

On the other side, the office building of Baishi Construction.

When Guan Baiyu went to school last time, she gave Lu Mingqi her phone number and wrote down the address of Baishi Construction so that he could come and visit her.

Lu Mingqi happened to be in Changxi City to play basketball today, so he stopped by here.

Upon arrival, he was also taken aback by the innovative office building constructed by Shiraishi Construction.

Guan Baiyu's family is quite wealthy! No wonder that rich older sister likes him!

However... Lu Mingqi didn't see Guan Baiyu here, but he did see Qi Xiaowu.

The two were classmates, so they started chatting. Qi Xiaowu was too embarrassed to talk to Lu Mingqi at the company, so he took Lu Mingqi to the pavilion outside to talk.

As they talked, Lu Mingqi couldn't help but ask, "Qi Xiaowu, have you seen any pretty girls older than Guan Baiyu around him?"

Qi Xiaowu looked at him: "You want to ask about Guan Baiyu's girlfriend? The only person Guan Baiyu usually interacts with is Sister Zhao, who poured you water when you went in just now."

"You know about Guan Baiyu's girlfriend too?" Lu Mingqi asked, somewhat surprised. "Are you sure it's that older sister?"

"Guan Baiyu always called her 'sister' and was very close to her."

"Oh, it's her! Guan Baiyu must be blind to love, right? He always described his girlfriend as the most beautiful woman in the world..." The woman from earlier seemed to be a very gentle person and not bad-looking, but she was still different from the great beauty he had imagined.

"It must have been beautified?" Qi Xiaowu said.

The two started chatting, and Lu Mingqi even mentioned some of the things Guan Baiyu's girlfriend had done, such as giving him gifts.

Qi Xiaowu remembered: "They seem to live together..." Guan Baiyu and Zhao Qiujuan both came to work together, and when they chatted, they would talk about what to eat for dinner.

Lu Mingqi couldn't help but say a lot more. After he finished speaking, he checked the time and left reluctantly.

Lu Mingqi really liked Guan Baiyu's love story. Although he was slightly disappointed by Zhao Qiujuan's appearance, he still had a good impression of her.

Qi Xiaowu is different.

He felt something was off about what he was hearing.

He had previously thought that Guan Baiyu and Zhao Qiujuan were dating, and he hadn't thought anything of it. But according to Lu Mingqi, Guan Baiyu spoke so highly of her, and the two had been having an ambiguous relationship for a long time.

Thinking about it carefully... there was an older girl who abducted Guan Baiyu, who was still in high school!

Besides... Zhao Qiujuan probably doesn't have that much money. Guan Baiyu said that Zhao Qiujuan bought him this and that... that's probably just a lie.

Guan Baiyu's cousin is so rich, Guan Baiyu doesn't need him to give him this or that...

Qi Xiaowu came from a rural background, so he thought a lot, which is why he had harbored resentment towards Guan Baiyu in the past.

However, fearing he might misunderstand, he didn't tell anyone and treated Zhao Dongjuan the same as always.

However, after he got to know Guan Baiyu better, he discovered that Guan Baiyu... was definitely in love.

For example, on this day, Guan Baiyu showed him the watch he was wearing and told him that it was a gift from someone else.

Judging from Guan Baiyu's expression... it must have been a gift from someone he likes!

When Qi Xiaowu looked again, he also noticed that Zhao Qiujuan was wearing a new watch on her wrist.

Recently, a brand-name watch store opened in Changxi City. Guan Baiyu's old watch had been used for several years and had gotten wet, so Shi Zhen bought him a new one.

Seeing this, Guan Baiyu bought one for Shi Zhen as well. After thinking for a moment, he picked a cheaper one and bought one for each member of Shi Zhen's family.

The one on Zhao Qiujuan's wrist was a gift from Guan Baiyu.

Zhao Qiujuan already had a watch, but the one Guan Baiyu gave her was very expensive, costing over two hundred yuan, and it was also very beautiful... Zhao Qiujuan cherished it, looking at it countless times a day and touching it repeatedly.

Qi Xiaowu seized the opportunity to ask, "Sis, this watch is really beautiful, where did you get it?"

Zhao Qiujuan immediately smiled: "It was a gift from Xiaoyu."

It turns out that these two were exchanging gifts!

Qi Xiaowu felt a little worried.

It was at this time that Guan Baiyu and Qi Xiaowu both received their admission notices.

They both applied to the best universities in their province and were accepted together.

It's quite a coincidence that both of them studied internet-related fields.

After all, this is a popular major.

Qi Xiaowu didn't know how to choose a major, so he just picked this one.

"Guan Baiyu, it's a pity you filled out your college application so poorly," Qi Xiaowu said.

Nowadays, students fill out their majors before they know their scores. Many people choose less prestigious universities to be on the safe side... Just like last year, the top scorer in the province didn't even apply to the best university.

"Who told the school cafeterias in the north to not have rice? I don't want to go." Guan Baiyu laughed heartily.

This is a story that their teacher told them during class. It was about someone who got into a university in Beijing, but was told that the cafeteria there only had steamed buns and no rice. She was shocked and refused to go.

Of course, they did have rice.

“Actually, it’s good to go to school closer to home,” Guan Baiyu said.

He didn't want to be too far away from Shi Zhen.

Qi Xiaowu glanced at Zhao Qiujuan with a hint of hesitation.

Was Guan Baiyu doing this for his girlfriend?

When Shi Zhen saw Guan Baiyu's admission notice, to be honest... he was also very happy.

I was happy, but also a little touched.

At the time, his relationship with Guan Baiyu was not yet established, but Guan Baiyu still filled out that application...

In private, Shi Zhen hugged and kissed Guan Baiyu for a long time.

They even made love secretly at night. They tried their best not to make a sound...it was quite exciting.

The next day, Shi Zhen went to see Qi Xiaowu.

He plans to talk to Qi Xiaowu.

"Boss, did you need to see me?" Qi Xiaowu asked nervously as he entered Shi Zhen's office.

"Don't be so nervous, have a seat." Shi Zhen moved a stool for him and glanced outside again.

His office is separated from the outside only by glass. Of course, if he wants, he can lower the curtain so that people outside can't see him.

However, he usually doesn't lower the curtain, as it obstructs his view of Guan Baiyu.

Regardless of how profitable Shi Zhen's company is... he has a lot of employees.

Qi Xiaowu has been helping Guan Baiyu with the organization lately, and he has grown to admire Shi Zhen more and more, genuinely regarding him as a big boss. He also feels somewhat reserved in front of Shi Zhen.

Shi Zhen first asked him if he was settling in well at the company and told him to relax. He then brought up the fact that he and Guan Baiyu were going to university together, and said, "I have a favor to ask of you. When you go to university, I hope you can take good care of Guan Baiyu."

After observing Qi Xiaowu these past few days, Shi Zhen discovered that Qi Xiaowu was a bit sensitive, but not the kind of ingrate who would turn his back on his lover.

"I will! It's just that I don't think I can take care of him much..." Qi Xiaowu immediately assured him.

"Thank you," Shi Zhen smiled, then added, "I have another favor to ask of you."

“Please speak,” Qi Xiaowu replied immediately.

Shi Zhen said, "Keep an eye on Xiao Yu for me. If anyone around Xiao Yu likes him... tell me."

When Shi Zhen said this, his gaze was very deep.

He had been restraining himself, but... he and Guan Baiyu are together again.

He is actually a somewhat stubborn person, and Guan Baiyu is... extremely important to him.

He could no longer let go of Guan Baiyu.

He planned to... ask Qi Xiaowu to keep an eye on things for him.

If someone shows interest in Guan Baiyu... he must find a way to separate them from Guan Baiyu.

“Uh…” Qi Xiaowu hesitated for a moment.

“Of course, it’s okay if you don’t want to… I’m just worried he’ll be led astray,” Shi Zhen said.

Qi Xiaowu hesitated for a long time before saying, "Guan Baiyu... he has a girlfriend."

Shi Zhen was taken aback: "What? Guan Baiyu has a girlfriend? How come he didn't know?"

For a moment, Shi Zhen almost exploded, but he quickly realized that Qi Xiaowu must have misunderstood.

Guan Baiyu is with him every day, how could he possibly have a girlfriend!

Qi Xiaowu was very grateful to Guan Baiyu, but even more grateful to Shi Zhen, since it was Shi Zhen who funded his studies.

Moreover, Shi Zhen is Guan Baiyu's elder... He felt that it was right for Shi Zhen to give Guan Baiyu advice on his relationship.

This will also prevent Guan Baiyu from being deceived.

Qi Xiaowu said, "Guan Baiyu has a girlfriend who is older than him. Well, I've known about this for a long time... He often talks about his girlfriend at school."

Shi Zhen: "???" Guan Baiyu was either at school or at home before, how could he have time to date a girlfriend older than him?

Qi Xiaowu was clearly talking nonsense, so why did he act so certain?

"Guan Baiyu said that his girlfriend is very good to him, buying him this and that... His phone and watch were all bought for him by his girlfriend."

Shi Zhen: "!!!" He bought all of these! So what did Guan Baiyu say about him at school?

"Guan Baiyu really liked his girlfriend. Back in school, he talked about her every day," Qi Xiaowu added, hoping Shi Zhen would understand the importance of the matter.

Shi Zhen hesitated for a moment before asking, "When did he start talking?"

"Anyway, throughout the entire senior year of high school, he kept saying that I wasn't the only one who knew... Lu Mingqi probably knew the most clearly."

Shi Zhen: "..." And he told more than one person?

They weren't together at the time, but Guan Baiyu was good at making things up... Shi Zhen was both amused and exasperated, and also a little... happy.

After all, Guan Baiyu liked him so much that she even went so far as to fabricate lies at school.

Thinking about it this way, Shi Zhen felt a little sorry for Shi Zhen.

He wanted to call Guan Baiyu over and give her a kiss.

At this moment, Qi Xiaowu added, "That person... should be Sister Zhao."

As Qi Xiaowu spoke, he glanced at the front desk.

Shi Zhen's hand trembled: "Why do you think... it's Zhao... Zhao Qiujuan?"

"The only person who's really close to Guan Baiyu is Sister Zhao. I haven't seen anyone else around him," Qi Xiaowu said. "Do you all live very close to him? I think... you'd better be careful. Guan Baiyu is still young... he still has to study, if..."

What if Guan Baiyu accidentally gets pregnant?

Shi Zhen was at a loss for words.

He thought for a moment before saying, "Zhao Qiujuan is actually my sister, and also Guan Baiyu's cousin."

Qi Xiaowu's eyes widened in shock—so that's why these two didn't dare to show it at all?

"They are definitely not boyfriend and girlfriend, just an ordinary older sister and younger brother," Shi Zhen said with absolute certainty.

"Huh?" Qi Xiaowu was stunned.

"I understand what you're saying, thank you," Shi Zhen smiled. "If anyone comes into contact with Guan Baiyu in the future, please let me know... thank you." Qi Xiaowu told him this not because he had a problem with Guan Baiyu, but because he was genuinely worried about Guan Baiyu... Shi Zhen could tell.

He was grateful.

Shi Zhen thanked him twice, leaving Qi Xiaowu somewhat at a loss for words.

Completely bewildered, he left the office.

Seeing this, Guan Baiyu asked, "What did my brother say to you?"

"He told me that I must take good care of you at school," Qi Xiaowu said.

Guan Baiyu immediately laughed: "I knew it."

When Guan Baiyu and Shi Zhen were not around in the afternoon, Qi Xiaowu couldn't help but ask Zhao Qiujuan, "Sister Zhao, Guan Baiyu is also wearing a new watch. Did you give it to him?"

“Of course not, I would never buy something so expensive,” Zhao Qiujuan said. “He bought it himself. Did you see the watch on the boss’s wrist? He bought that too.”

Zhao Qiujuan knew that Guan Baiyu owned shares in Huaguang Stationery and always thought Guan Baiyu was exceptionally capable.

Especially recently, Guan Baiyu actually bought a house in Changxi City in full!

He must be extremely rich!

Thinking this, Zhao Qiujuan added, "Guan Baiyu has been promising since he was a child. He helped the boss open this company." Shi Zhen had said that the capital for starting the business was lent to him by Guan Baiyu.

Qi Xiaowu: "..." The watch that Guan Baiyu showed off, was it one he bought himself?

"He's that capable? I saw he even has a cell phone, which he bought himself?"

“Yes!” Zhao Qiujuan replied matter-of-factly.

She felt that Huaguang was bigger than Shizhen's company, since Huaguang was already famous before Shizhen's company was even established.

She really can see Huaguang no matter where she is.

Therefore, Guan Baiyu is definitely richer than Shi Zhen.

Those things, he must have bought them himself. He even installed air conditioning in the rented apartment!

Qi Xiaowu: "..."

He realized that Zhao Qiujuan and Guan Baiyu genuinely had no romantic feelings for each other, and that it wasn't an act.

So Guan Baiyu made up a girlfriend for himself? And he spent a whole year making it up?

What kind of hobby is this?

Because the pressure of senior year of high school is too great?
