When Zong Jia came to knock on the door, Zhong Yuan had already lost count of how many rounds of Spider Solitaire he had played.
He looked at the person drying their hair. "Brother Zong, are you really alright? Taking such a long shower, aren't you afraid of washing your skin raw?"
Zong Jia gave him an annoyed look. "Mind your own business! Tell me, what happened to that client today?"
When it came to serious matters, Zhong Yuan's smile vanished, and he carefully reported on the details of his communication with the client that day.
Zong Jia hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's not sign such a long-term contract. 'SouTianXia' will undergo a huge transformation soon, and signing a long-term contract would be counterproductive."
Zhong Yuan nodded. "That's what I was thinking too. I gave him a quote for up to six months, and he said he'd think about it."
Zong Jia was very satisfied. "Da Yuan, you've done a great job lately. Would you like to pursue further studies?"
"Further studies?" Zhong Yuan frowned. "You mean the kind of night school that Aunt Guizhi used to attend?"
“No.” Zong Jia shook his head. “There are many training courses available now for entrepreneurs and senior executives. If you’d like to learn, I can enroll you.”
Zhong Yuan chuckled upon hearing this, "Wow, targeting entrepreneurs and corporate executives, that sounds impressive, but I wonder if I can understand it?"
Zong Jia dried her hair and put the towel aside. "It's okay. If you don't understand it the first time, you can understand it every time. I believe you can do it."
"Hehe." Zhong Yuan scratched his head. "Then I'll listen to you, Brother Zong. You arrange it for me. I absolutely can't let that kid Dafu outdo me!"
Zong Jia chuckled, "Then you'd better work harder. Da Fu is now the second-in-command at 'Jiang Li Ji,' the kind who wields a lot of power."
Zhong Yuan was a little unconvinced, "Brother Zong, just you wait and see, I'll definitely study hard and crush him!"
"Okay, I'll wait and see."

On Friday, Jiang Xiaoli couldn't wait to return to her dormitory after class. Seeing the two empty beds, she was in a really good mood.
She looked at Chang Yue and Ren Zhiyi, "Since they moved out, you can move to the lower bunks!"
They looked at each other and laughed. Chang Yue slapped her forehead and said, "We were so busy watching them move things last night that we didn't even think about this!"
Ren Zhiyi smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's okay, we can still move now."
The two of them immediately started moving things.
Hu Jingxin sat on her bed, leaning against the bed railing, "I wonder if anyone else will be allowed to come into our dorm."
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be today, right? After all, only a minority of students change dormitories midway through the semester, but it's uncertain when the new students start next year."
Hu Jingxin winked at her, "Xiao Li, guess where they moved to?"
Jiang Xiaoli peeled an orange, saying, "How would I know?"
Chang Yue stopped packing her things, turned around and told her, "The two of them moved in with a senior student. I heard that the senior student in that dorm is particularly difficult to get along with."
Ren Zhiyi chimed in, "That's true. The senior in that dorm is known for being troublesome, otherwise there wouldn't be any empty beds."
Jiang Xiaoli popped a segment of orange into her mouth. "Then I can only wish them good luck."
Hu Jingxin ate the other half of the orange, "So many people were watching their apology letters today. If it were me, I would be so embarrassed."
Ren Zhiyi patted her shoulder, "As long as you don't do things that harm others and yourself, you'll never encounter such an embarrassing situation."
After making their beds, Jiang Xiaoli and Ren Zhiyi planned to go home.
Chang Yue asked, "What are your plans for this weekend?"
Jiang Xiaoli replied, "I'm taking my driver's license test tomorrow."
Hu Jingxin asked curiously, "Can we take the exam on weekends too?"
She shrugged. "I didn't think it would work either, but my driving instructor said he would arrange it for me."
Ren Zhiyi was somewhat intrigued. "Xiao Li, you're old enough to take the driving test. How long did you learn to drive?"
Feeling a little guilty, she registered for driving lessons with Zhong Yuan, saying, "I took lessons for more than 20 consecutive days during the summer vacation."
Hu Jingxin linked arms with Ren Zhiyi and asked, "Zhiyi, do you want to learn to drive too? Why don't we learn together?"
Ren Zhiyi thought for a moment, "I'll go back and ask my family. I'll tell you when I come to school on Sunday."
Chang Yue laughed and joked, "Great! Now that you've all learned to drive, we'll have three drivers when we go out together in the future."
Jiang Xiaoli glanced at the two people who were planning to learn to drive, "Xiaoyue is treating us like chauffeurs, can you tolerate this?"
Hu Jingxin was the first to jump next to Chang Yue and tickle her, saying, "If you want to ride in our car, you'd better pass the test."
Ren Zhiyi also joined the battle, and Chang Yue suffered repeated defeats.
She was just as ticklish as Jiang Xiaoli. "I was wrong, I was wrong. I'll work hard to save money for driving lessons, and we'll take turns!"
Jiang Xiaoli was very interested in the part-time job she mentioned. "Xiaoyue, what kind of part-time job are you planning to do?"
Chang Yue shrugged. "I haven't decided yet."
Hu Jingxin raised an eyebrow smugly, "Xiaoyue, call me Sister Xinxin, and I'll introduce you to a part-time job selling skincare products at my counter, how about that? My sales commissions are pretty high!"
Chang Yue stretched out her arm and pulled the petite Hu Jingxin into her arms, pinching her chin in a domineering CEO-like manner, "What did you just call you?"
Hu Jingxin chuckled, amused by her. "Xiaoyue, if you want to go, I can arrange it for you. The sales staff at my store pay really well, so you'll be able to save up enough money for driving lessons very quickly."
Chang Yue pondered for a moment, "Thanks, I'll think about it some more. I want to find one that's related to my major, so I can gain some internship experience."
Hu Jingxin nodded, "Okay, let me know if you've made up your mind, and I'll have someone arrange it for you."
Jiang Xiaoli's eyes lit up. "Xiaoyue, you go ahead and look. If you can't find a suitable one, I can offer you a job."
Chang Yue asked in confusion, "Does 'Jiang Li Ji' also have a branch in Kyoto?"
She nodded with a smile, "Not yet, but it will be after National Day. 'Jiang Li Ji' has bought land in Qinghe, and the Kyoto branch factory is about to start construction. The Kyoto branch is currently recruiting, so I would be happy if you were willing to come."
Chang Yue couldn't help but swallow hard. "But I'm only a freshman, and I've only just started learning about my major."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "A top student from Peking University, is it alright for me to try and win him over beforehand?"
Hu Jingxin exclaimed, "Xiao Li, you're so cunning!"
Jiang Xiaoli pinched her chubby cheeks, "How can this be considered cunning? This is an investment in talent!"
Chang Yue was very tempted by what she said, "Xiao Li, if your branch really needs help, I'm willing."
Ren Zhiyi chuckled, "Alright, alright, I've settled this for you two! This is so sentimental, it's like a wedding!"
