After the National Day holiday, whenever she had time, Liu Qianxue would come to her studio in the startup park without saying a word, treating it like a study room.
She found an empty seat to read a book, and Xu Xiu neither chased her away nor paid her any attention.
Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu would occasionally pour her a glass of water. They weren't as heartless as Xu Xiu, but they were also very sensible. They had heard about some of the entanglements between them.
As the saying goes, "Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering."
Ever since Liu Qianxue arrived, Xiao Ruoyan has been somewhat absent-minded and unable to concentrate.
Xu Xiu assigned Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu the task of finding models and students interested in part-time promotion in various departments.
The two realized that this task was clearly giving them a chance to find a partner.
The two of them would spend half a day tidying up their dorm room every day, then clock in in the morning, and after class they would wander around to various departments.
Liu Qianxue also asked for a few sets of clothes, not from Xu Xiu but from Xiao Ruoyan, who gave them to her without hesitation.
Since they were all high school classmates and not outsiders, Xu Xiu had a headache. He hadn't expected Liu Qianxue to be such a strong-willed person.
But it seems like the phrase was used in the wrong context. Three women make a drama. Ever since Liu Qianxue arrived, Wang Mengqi has been constantly going against her.
Especially after learning that Ning Xiaofan was in a relationship, Wang Mengqi felt inexplicably angry and had nowhere to vent her anger. Just then, Liu Qianxue came to her doorstep. The two of them hadn't gotten along since high school.
Now things are really messed up; it would be abnormal if we didn't bicker every day.
Wen Zhicai was the most composed person, oblivious to the world around him, focusing solely on studying the classics.
Since two of the top three freshmen on the campus beauty list ended up in the studio, Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu have been visiting the studio much more often.
Originally, neither of them were very reliable, so Xu Xiu let them work part-time, earning commissions and having flexible hours, just like salespeople.
Xu Xiu even filmed the two arguing and made a silly animation series about how girls quarrel.
As the days went by, the courses became more and more intensive, and Xu Xiu and everyone else became busy. Moreover, with Double Eleven approaching, their own factory had already started to warm up their stores on various platforms.
The recent filming has also begun to generate buzz for the event.
Xiao Ruoyan hasn't been in a good mood lately, and Xu Xiu knows it's because of Liu Qianxue. He's already thinking about whether he should confess his feelings to her in advance, otherwise who knows if this silly girl will back down if things continue like this.
How can he be expected to believe that he likes her, that he truly likes her?
Tell her that she saved his life in a past life and he was reincarnated to repay her?
Whether Xiao Ruoyan believed it or not, he himself didn't believe it...
Moreover, he hated and despised her for two and a half years of high school, but suddenly in his freshman year of college, he confessed to someone else that he liked her.
If it were someone like Wang Mengqi, she would definitely retort, "I don't believe you for a second."
Then tell him to get as far away as possible, and add, "You ignored me before, now you can't afford to miss me."
Besides, even a slightly normal person wouldn't believe it, and would definitely try to stay as far away as possible.
Sigh, it's all my own fault in high school. I was planning to take it slow and steady, but then this unexpected troublemaker showed up. Is Liu Qianxue's thought process not normal?
Xiao Ruoyan was targeted by me in high school, yet she was still willing to help me start a business and had no complaints about me. How much does she like me?
Was she too naive and foolish? Of course not. She had supported half the family since she was a child and had seen too much of the dark side of society and too many ugly faces.
She simply lived cautiously, unwilling to cause trouble or compete.
As for being stupid, would someone who gets into Tsinghua or Peking University be stupid?
Therefore, Xiao Ruoyan must have just wanted to stay by his side quietly, without asking for anything else.
Seeing Xu Xiu sitting in his seat in a daze, not even hearing the teacher call on him to answer questions, Pang Wenjun nudged him, and he finally came to his senses.
After standing up, he scratched his head apologetically and said, "Teacher Li, I'm sorry, I was just spacing out. Could you ask me again?"
Xu Xiu's words caused the students to burst into laughter.
Li Jianguo asked the question again, and Xu Xiu answered very seriously, giving several different answers.
The students all began to admire him, thinking, "He truly deserves to be called a genius!"
Li Jianguo nodded in satisfaction, but added, "Pay attention in class next time, and deal with anything after class."
"Okay, Teacher Li."
After class, Ning Bufan found Xu Xiu and said, "Old Xu, um... she wants to work part-time at our studio."
"What's your relationship now?"
Xu Xiu asked.
"Well... the relationship isn't officially confirmed, but I think that's the gist of it."
"That's probably what it means, but what does it mean?"
Hearing Ning Bufan's words, Xu Xiu was speechless. Ning Bufan was completely taken in by the sweet talk.
"They should be lovers. I confessed to her the other day, and she neither rejected nor agreed, saying she would think about it. She said that since we haven't known each other for very long, we can be friends first and see how things go."
"I think that makes a lot of sense. These things can't be rushed."
Ning Bufan had an expression that said, "I understand everything."
Xu Xiu rubbed his temples, really not knowing how to tell this guy that Pang Wenjun hooked up with a girl on his first business trip.
They became lovers in less than a week, and the two were inseparable. Moreover, his girlfriend even helped him with his business, and it must be said that the sales pitches by the girl were quite effective.
Then look at Ning Bufan. It's been almost a month, and they haven't even held hands yet. How dare they call themselves lovers?
"Let her work in sales too, and she'll get the same commission. Also, don't let her know any of the core account data."
“It’s not that I don’t trust her, it’s that I don’t trust anyone except the three of you, and if you continue to develop like this, I won’t even trust you.”
He understood Ning Bufan's first words, but what did the latter mean—that if he continued to develop in this way, he could no longer be trusted?
Just as he was about to ask what it meant, Xu Xiu was no longer beside him.
Watching Xu Xiu leave, he didn't think much of it and happily sent a message to Li Lingxuan on his phone.
After receiving the message, Li Lingxuan's lips curled up slightly. Her first step in the plan had been successfully implemented. She was already nearing her limit from accompanying this simpleton on walks every day.
He's not handsome, he has no sense of humor, and most importantly, he's stingy and looks poor.
When Ning Bufan first told him about this girl, Xu Xiu asked Ning Bufan to temporarily deposit the money in his bank card with him, saying that he might need the money soon and asked him to lend it to him.
Without saying a word, Ning Bufan took out his phone and transferred the money, including some of the living expenses sent from his family. He only kept some for his own basic expenses.
Xu Xiu was genuinely surprised. This brother was still the same as in his previous life; he could endure the pain, but he wouldn't spend money on unworthy people.
