Chapter 82: Postgraduate Study Ruined (15)
15
Zhu Qingchen sent the three students downstairs, accompanied them to pick up takeout, and took them to the staff cafeteria to find a seat. He told them to go back to the fifth floor after eating and not to run around.
Only then did he turn back.
When he returned, Zhou Ziqian's group of friends were still standing at the door of the office, and Xu Xi was there too.
Huo Jun and Zhou Ziqian were still in the office, but they had already finished arguing. The entire tenth floor was quiet, without a sound.
An ornament was smashed on the ground, and a chair was kicked over by Zhou Ziqian and fell to the ground.
Zhou Ziqian stood in front of the mahogany desk, his hands on the table, firmly occupying the manager's position and refusing to leave.
Huo Jun sat in front of him with his hands folded and his legs crossed, expressionless, just looking at him coldly.
Zhou Ziqian stood in front of the table, trying his best to make himself taller than Huo Jun.
Unfortunately, even when Huo Jun was sitting, his aura was stronger than his.
Huo Jun said calmly: "After so many times, you never learn your lesson? Do you have to do this?"
The villain system whispered a reminder: "Actually, these are all normal procedures in the 'crematorium'. You can't say it's a slut, because 99% of the protagonists who chase their wives do this."
Persistent.
Hug the tool man and deliberately provoke the other party.
Use your power and authority to create opportunities to get along with the other party.
If Huo Jun and Zhu Qingchen had not intervened, perhaps Xia Shu would have stayed here forever and made coffee for Zhou Ziqian every day, every day.
Xia Shu couldn't stand it anymore and admitted that he was "jealous of Xu Xi".
Finally, one day when it was raining heavily, he rushed up with red eyes and hugged Zhou Ziqian. Zhou Ziqian touched his head and told him triumphantly that there was nothing between him and Xu Xi and that he had misunderstood.
The two naturally reconciled and kissed in the rain.
But it seemed that everyone in and out of the play had forgotten that Xia Shu originally came in as an intern.
He has learned nothing here except making coffee.
Apart from the so-called love, nothing else was gained.
As for whether Xia Shu is really jealous or is driven crazy by drinking coffee day after day, who knows?
At this time, Zhu Qingchen pushed the door open and came in: "Mr. Huo, I've taken a few students back with me."
"Okay." Huo Jun responded, stood up and prepared to go back.
But at this moment, Zhou Ziqian suddenly shouted: "Stop!
”
Huo Jun turned his head, looked at him indifferently, and adjusted his cufflinks.
Zhou Ziqian had a sinister expression, and his fists were clenched tightly, making a clattering sound.
It's always like this. Every time he wants to do something, Huo Jun and Zhu Qingchen always come out to disrupt it.
He had clearly thought it all out. He and Xia Shu would get along in private, and after Xia Shu bowed her head first, he would say a few soft words, and then they would reconcile.
How does this affect Huo Jun and Zhu Qingchen?
Why do they have to go against me in everything?
Zhou Ziqian had a sinister look on his face. Zhu Qingchen stood at the door of the office and said calmly, "Zhou Ziqian, please understand that my relationship with your group is a partnership, not a master-servant relationship."
"My students are here to intern at your company, not to be your slaves. Please don't bring your personal emotions into work. Today, you have seriously affected my students' normal work and internship. I will record the facts and report it to the school."
Zhou Ziqian picked up the documents on the table and was about to hit someone when he was held down by Huo Jun.
Huo Jun pressed the document effortlessly, put it back on the table, and whispered, "I advise you to be quiet. The entire group is full of people. I'm not sure if you were photographed by the paparazzi when you came in and made a scene."
"You..." Zhou Ziqian seemed to understand something and raised his head suddenly.
What kind of paparazzi doesn’t keep an eye on celebrities and stares at them all day long?
Unless those paparazzi were arranged by Huo Jun!
But after Huo Jun said this, he turned and left, without giving him time to continue speaking.
Huo Jun straightened the collar of his suit and walked out of the office. The project team leader immediately came forward and said, "Mr. Huo."
Huo Jun said calmly: "Give him a copy of the unimportant documents and let him read them himself. Don't pay any attention to him or listen to his orders. I'll take responsibility if there are any problems."
"Okay." The team leader breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Ziqian had only been here for less than half an hour, but he had already caused chaos in the two project teams.
The team leader had had enough of him.
Zhou Ziqian wanted to overturn the table, but Huo Jun forced him back with a look.
Huo Jun turned his head and looked at Zhou Ziqian's cronies again.
"You can take him anywhere you want, just don't come to the group again. If I see him again, I'll send someone to call your family right away."
Huo Jun paused and asked again: "Do you think the money he spent on you was earned by himself? If you mess up the group project, not only will he end up on the streets, but you will also end up on the streets.
If you want to follow him and benefit from his influence, don’t encourage him to do evil.”
Know who is the one giving the money.
If the Zhou Group collapsed, where would they get the confidence to clamor everywhere?
Huo Jun was too lazy to argue with them. His only request to them was to keep an eye on Zhou Ziqian and not let him go crazy.
Zhou Ziqian's few second-generation rich friends didn't dare to say a word and stood by the wall.
Huo Jun raised his voice slightly: "Speak."
"Yes..." Several people nodded repeatedly, "Got it, we won't dare to come here again, we won't dare to come here again..."
Huo Jun winked at them, and they immediately went in to comfort Zhou Ziqian.
Zhu Qingchen seemed to understand something and turned to look at the small blue light ball following him.
"Zhou Ziqian's surroundings are leaking like a sieve." Zhu Qingchen said to the system, "His friends usually seem to flatter him, but now, they seem to listen to Huo Jun very much."
The system said, "Don't worry, there is someone who should be panicking the most but is not panicking yet."
Zhu Qingchen turned around and saw Xu Xi still standing there with no change in expression.
He didn't react at all, but instead stretched out his hand to Zhu Qingchen: "I'll see Teacher Zhu and Mr. Huo off."
"Hmm?" Zhu Qingchen was a little confused, but he quickly reacted, "Okay."
Does he have anything to say to himself?
Xu Xi smiled at him, and when they arrived at the elevator, he pressed the elevator button.
Sure enough, after leaving the office, Xu Xi clasped his hands together and said to him, "Teacher Zhu, please don't mind. I didn't mean to come here. I have no choice. This is my job."
He said exactly the same words to Xia Shu.
Zhu Qingchen pretended to be confused: "Your job?"
Xu Xi looked innocent: "I am a professional companion. Thanks to Mr. Huo, the place has been closed for rectification. I don't have a job, so I can only follow Mr. Zhou to earn some hard-earned money."
Zhu Qingchen looked at Huo Jun, who nodded without changing his expression.
This was what he had agreed with Huo Jun before. That place was not clean, so he asked him to help investigate it.
It seems that Huo Jun took action some time ago.
Zhu Qingchen asked: "Isn't the money he gave you enough?"
In the original book, didn’t Zhou Ziqian take him to buy a bunch of luxury goods?
Xu Xi said: "Don't mention Teacher Zhu. He bought those gifts and took back the expensive ones, saying that he was afraid that Xia Shu would be jealous, and he would give them to Xia Shu in the future to give him a surprise. He also didn't allow me to sell the cheap ones.
, and asked me to keep it for my enjoyment. I can’t make much in a month.”
"Yeah?"
Is Zhou Ziqian so stingy?
The system said weakly: "Host, this is called 'affection' in the book. Only Xia Shu is worthy of these gifts."
It's obviously a second-hand gift, but you still say it so nicely.
Just at this moment, the elevator arrived and the door slowly opened.
Zhu Qingchen and Huo Jun walked in, and Xu Xi followed them in.
Xu Xi said: "Teacher Zhu, I am telling the truth. I am not lying. I have trouble even eating now. I have no choice but to follow him."
Zhu Qingchen glanced at him and laughed: "Nonsense."
Zhou Ziqian is so concerned about his reputation that he often has several friends following him.
Even for the sake of face, I will not take back all the gifts I gave.
No matter what, it is impossible for him to have problems even eating.
The only possibility is that Xu Xi still feels it is not enough and wants to please both sides to protect himself.
The system said: "You are indeed a green tea male partner."
But she wasn't being green tea towards Zhou Ziqian, but towards Xia Shu and Zhu Qingchen.
Zhu Qingchen said seriously, "You are still young and have been immersed in the world of fame and fortune for too long. Take some time to go to the supermarket. In fact, life is very simple. The luxury item he gave you, as long as you sell it, it will be enough for you to live a good life."
"Now the place is closed and you don't have a job. If you want to go back to school, I can help you inquire about your enrollment and school matters."
"Ah?" Xu Xi looked confused.
He just wants to act good in front of Teacher Zhu, he doesn't want to go to school.
Why are you suddenly talking about school?
Zhu Qingchen looked at him seriously: "You should seize the time to study now, so that you can find a job better in the future, just like Xia Shu. Have you finished junior high school? If you are 18 years old this year, did you drop out before finishing junior high school?"
Zhu's first task is
Encourage learning!
Xu Xi adjusted his expression and said seriously, "Teacher Zhu, I am twenty-five this year."
Zhu Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "What?!"
When they first met, Xu Xi clearly said that he was only eighteen years old!
He, he, he... How did he grow seven years older overnight? He was even older than Zhu Qingchen himself?
Zhu Qingchen felt terrible and looked at Xu Xi in shock, trying to find some clues from his face.
How is that possible? !
At this time, the elevator arrived.
Xu Xi walked out of the elevator and went to the floor-to-ceiling window where the light was good, and rubbed his cheeks.
"Here." Xu Xi passed her makeup-stained hand to Zhu Qingchen. "Eighteen is my working age. When customers ask me how old I am, I always say eighteen. I have been saying eighteen for seven years."
a bolt from the blue!
Zhu Qingchen was deceived!
He always thought that Xu Xi was very young and had just become an adult, so he turned a blind eye to what Xu Xi did.
After all, the source is Zhou Ziqian, and Xu Xi is still a child. If we can persuade him to go back to school, he won't grow up astray in the future.
result!
Xu Xi blinked and looked at him innocently: "Teacher Zhu, do you think I dropped out of junior high school to do this kind of thing?"
Zhu Qingchen opened his eyes wide: "You you you..."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhu. I only started working after I went to school. And I am a serious playmate, specifically the kind who accompanies young ladies and young masters, takes care of their daily lives, and accompanies them shopping and having fun. I don't accompany them for other things."
“…”
Zhu Qingchen turned his head away, trying to find a place to hide himself.
Help!
The system comforted him: "He has a baby face and he's wearing makeup. This is not your problem. My system can't even see it."
Zhu Qingchen covered his face and didn't want to speak.
Xu Xi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhu, I really didn't mean it. I didn't expect you to think I was really eighteen years old."
Xu Xi clasped his hands together and looked at him sincerely: "I just want to tell you that this is just my job. I just hope you don't think of me as someone from Mr. Zhou's side. I am just myself."
He raised his head again and looked at Huo Jun: "Mr. Huo, you know this is my job, please be merciful. Teacher Zhu is kind and will not bear to deal with me."
Xu Xi said some more flattering words and prepared to go back.
He prides himself on being good at dancing and getting along with everyone.
He wanted to make a fortune from Zhou Ziqian, but he also saw that Zhou Ziqian was already at the end of his strength and would be overthrown by Huo Jun sooner or later, so he came to Zhu Qingchen specially to get close to him, hoping that Huo Jun would let him go when he settled accounts with Zhou Ziqian.
Xu Xi got on the elevator and waved to them as the elevator door slowly closed.
Zhu Qingchen recovered and kindly reminded him: "Since he is going to return all the gifts,
, you won't get anything, so it's better to get out of here as soon as possible and don't stay any longer."
Xu Xi tilted his head and looked through the crack in the elevator door: "Teacher Zhu, rest assured, I know my limits."
Zhu Qingchen sighed and said nothing more.
Since he is already an adult and older than him, there is nothing he can do to persuade him.
He had chosen them all himself, and Zhu Qingchen had reminded him of this.
Zhu Qingchen turned his head and looked at Huo Jun: "Sorry to bother you with today's matter, Mr. Huo."
Huo Jun nodded slightly: "You're welcome, it's my job."
Not long after, the three students who were eating in the restaurant also came back.
The three people quickly adjusted themselves and returned to work without being affected too much.
On the other side, Xu Xi took the elevator back to the tenth floor.
Zhou Ziqian's friends were comforting him.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Zhou. We won't argue with them."
"If you don't want me here, there are other places that will. Let's go to the casino and play a few rounds."
"That's right, there's nothing interesting here."
At this time, Xu Xi pushed the door open, and Zhou Ziqian picked up the paperweight on the table and threw it at his feet.
"Fuck you, what did you say to Xia Shu? And you followed Zhu Qingchen away. What were you doing?"
Xu Xi pinched herself and held back two bubbles of tears, looking at him aggrievedly: "Mr. Zhou, I told classmate Xia Shu that there is nothing between us, I just want you to reconcile."
Zhou Ziqian's friends immediately chimed in: "Oh my gosh, Mr. Zhou, Xiao Xu is good, really good."
Xu Xi added: "I helped Young Master Zhou to send Mr. Huo and Teacher Zhu downstairs, and I just wanted to plead for Young Master Zhou. I was afraid...what if they went to Young Master Zhou's grandfather to complain, so..."
Xu Xi grabbed the hem of her clothes, raised her head, and looked at Zhou Ziqian aggrievedly.
Zhou Ziqian finally calmed down and waved at him: "Come."
"Yeah." Xu Xi took small steps forward.
Zhou Ziqian held his hand and said, "I wrongly blamed you. Didn't you always say you had no place to live? I'll give you the big flat in the city."
When Xu Xi heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Zhou Ziqian stood up, "They asked me to be their manager, but I'm too lazy to do it. Let's go and have fun."
"Okay." Xu Xi snuggled in his arms with a satisfied smile.
The two of them left the group, surrounded by a group of younger brothers.
Group building.
*
In the office.
Mr. Huo paid out of his own pocket and booked afternoon tea for the members of the two project teams.
Zhu Qingchen was worried that something might happen again, so he didn't go back to his lounge. He found an empty workstation and filled out today's internship team leader form.
The fact that Zhou Ziqian brought people here to cause trouble must be recorded truthfully.
If the issue is brought up again in the future, he can explain it clearly.
As Zhu Qingchen wrote, he asked the system: "You just said that Zhou Ziqian took back the gift because he was 'affectionate'. What does that mean?"
The system said: "It is written in the book that the gifts that Zhou Ziqian took photos of and sent to Xia Shu were not actually given to Xu Xi. They were just to stimulate Xia Shu."
"Later, he gave all the gifts to Xia Shu, and said that only Xia Shu deserved these gifts. Xia Shu was very moved, and the readers were also moved."
"..." Zhu Qingchen choked.
What's so touching about this?
What has Zhou Ziqian done since Xia Shu broke up with him until now?
Being persistent and abusing privileges.
Did he want to make peace? He just wanted to disgust Xia Shu.
The system said, "Do you still want to take care of Xu Xi? At first I thought he was underage, so I just took care of him, but he is already 25 years old, and he knows what he is doing."
Zhu Qingchen thought about it and didn't answer.
In fact, Xu Xi himself knew very well that it was very dangerous for him to follow Zhou Ziqian.
Otherwise he wouldn't be messing around.
If he wakes up now and quickly gets out, it's still not too late.
I’m just afraid that he will be blinded by wealth and don’t want to come out.
After a while, Zhu Qingchen asked, "How does he end up in the book?"
"How good can the fate of the green tea male supporting role be?" The system said, "After Xia Shu and Zhou Ziqian reconciled, he still overestimated his own abilities and ran to Xia Shu to provoke her. In the end, Zhou Ziqian threw him into the high seas."
"ah?!"
Familiar routine.
As long as the protagonist completes the task of "appreciating and abusing tea", he can become a "peerless attacker" again.
All sins are borne by the green tea male supporting role.
This outcome was too serious for Xu Xi, a thousand times more serious than what he had done.
Zhu Qingchen said: "No matter what, the culprit is Zhou Ziqian. Although Xu Xi is greedy for money, he is far less than Zhou Ziqian. If the plot continues to develop like this,
I will definitely stop it.”
"Okay then." The system had no objection.
"By the way." Zhu Qingchen asked, "Xia Shu's birthday should be at the end of July, right? Then his brother's shopping mall plot is also coming soon?"
"Um."
Zhu Qingchen propped up his head, thinking: "I have to follow them closely for a while, and the Xia family may not have gathered enough money for Xia Chi's surgery."
It would be best if we could avoid the plot points and wait until the Xia family has saved enough money so that Xia Chi can undergo the surgery safely.
Zhu Qingchen was afraid that if the plot was forced to trigger, the Xia family would be in a hurry and unable to raise enough money for the operation, and the operation would be delayed, which would be difficult to handle.
He had to prepare some money so that if the Xia family didn't have enough money, he could take it out in time.
Zhu Qingchen took out his mobile phone and opened his salary card.
Um……
The salary of a university teacher was not as high as he had imagined. Between rent, utilities, food and drinks, he couldn't save much money after being here for several months.
Zhu Qingchen dragged out the tone and asked the system for help: "System..."
The system stepped back: "What?"
"Lend me some money."
"I'm not a money printing machine, where can I lend you the money?"
Zhu Qingchen was in a dilemma. Where could he get the money?
Suddenly, the system asked: "Is electronic currency okay?"
"Sure!" Zhu Qingchen's eyes lit up, "WeChat or Alipay?"
"Ocean coin."
Zhu Qingchen looked at it expectantly: "What is the Australian dollar? Is it the currency of Australia?"
The system said faintly: "The currency of Obi Island."
Zhu Qingchen:?
"I also have Mole beans from Mole Manor."
Zhu Qingchen:? ?
"I have also saved tens of millions of gold assets from the gold miners, and I can give them all to you."
Zhu Qingchen: ???
"Go away!" Zhu Qingchen picked up the documents on the table and waved them vigorously as if to shoo away mosquitoes. "Go away! Go away!"
The system was flying all over the sky: "I already said I'm not a money printing machine, why are you hitting me?"
Just at this moment, Huo Jun came over with afternoon tea: "Teacher Zhu?"
Zhu Qingchen slapped the system on the table, pressed it with something, raised his head as if nothing had happened, and remained elegant: "Boss Huo, is there anything wrong?"
Huo Jun put the afternoon tea on the table: "I wish the teacher a little cake that he likes."
"Thank you." Zhu Qingchen smiled at him, "Mr. Huo, would you like to eat something together?"
"Um."
The two went to the president's office and sat face to face next to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Zhu Qingchen scooped up the cake with a spoon, ate it in small bites, and asked tentatively: "Boss Huo, do you still have the 500,000 yuan hush money that Mr. Zhou gave me last time?"
"Yeah." Huo Jun nodded, "I put it away and haven't touched it."
"Then..." Zhu Qingchen was embarrassed to speak.
It’s not that easy to get that five hundred thousand.
Once he gets it, the Zhou family will have something on him.
Forget it, Zhu Qingchen shut up and decided not to say anything more.
But Huo Jun saw through his dilemma and asked, "Teacher Zhu, are you short of money recently?"
"Hmm..." Zhu Qingchen nodded, "It's a little short."
"If it is Mr. Zhu who is short of money, I can lend it to him; if it is Xia Shu who is short of money, Mr. Zhu can ask him to come to me. If the reason is legitimate, I can sign an IOU with him in my personal name."
"How did Mr. Huo know..."
"Teacher Zhu lives a hard life and is too kind to his students." Huo Jun said with a sour tone, "It can only be that the students are short of money."
Zhu Qingchen's system: ???
"What do the words 'poverty and hardship' have to do with Zhu Qingchen? You should be more clear-headed. He is obviously spoiled."
"It has something to do with me." Zhu Qingchen grabbed the small blue light ball and stuffed it under the sofa.
The system struggled hard: "The big villain is obsessed with you..."
"I can't help it." Zhu Qingchen held his face and said helplessly, "I was a butcher in my last life, and I teach in this life. This is my fate, and I can't abandon my students."
Although Huo Jun was sour, he still made a promise: "If Teacher Zhu brings Xia Shu to see me, I will lend him money."
"Thank you, Mr. Huo." Zhu Qingchen smiled at him, "If Mr. Huo wants to quarrel with Zhou Ziqian next time, I will definitely rush to the front and help Mr. Huo 'kill all the enemies'."
Many sincere thanks.
Huo Jun smiled and said, "Teacher Zhu, please stand with me. You don't have to rush to the front."
"Okay, I will definitely stand on Mr. Huo's side." Zhu Qingchen raised his milk tea cup, "I wish Mr. Huo can get what he wants and take over the group as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Huo Jun also raised his own teacup and clinked his cup with his.
Everyone has the same enemy, so it's fun to work together. !
