Chapter 280 He and His Friends
The midday sun is warm on my body, and the breeze that occasionally blows past my ears brings a hint of coolness. The weather in the imperial capital is pleasant and sunny at this season.
There was a public ideological and political class in the afternoon. As soon as Su Jiaojiao entered the classroom, she saw Tang Ling waving at her and saving a seat for her.
No one knew what Tang Ling had been busy with these past few days. Apart from attending classes, she was nowhere to be seen. After Su Jiaojiao sat down, Tang Ling asked her, "What were you doing last night? I didn't even see you when I returned to the dormitory."
"I went to Changshan District yesterday. My sister and I were selling jeans wholesale there." Su Jiaojiao didn't hide it from her and asked her, "What have you been busy with recently?"
"I've applied for a university student self-employment program, and it's been approved. It's in those two offices next to our school gate," Tang Ling said happily. "I've already negotiated with the postal company to handle mail delivery for our school and surrounding schools. 50 cents per piece."
"You're amazing!" Su Jiaojiao didn't even know there was such a good thing happening in school. She immediately said, "If you need any help, just let me know."
"You're already selling jeans wholesale, so you're definitely not going to be impressed by the two or three hundred I'm selling. Du Bingqian is a delicate girl. She's been acting in TV dramas since she was little, and she's still taking on commercials. I've asked Xiao Yu and Chu Han from our dormitory to be my assistants."
There were six people in their dormitory, and only five of them lived there permanently. The girl only stayed in the dormitory for one night and then moved out, apparently to rent a house outside the school.
"Congratulations." Su Jiaojiao shook her hand and said with a smile, "I wish your business will prosper!"
"Thank you!" Tang Ling was in high spirits.
The two were chatting when the teacher walked in dressed in a suit and tie. One of the girls exclaimed, "So handsome!"
There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.
Su Jiaojiao also smiled, but when she saw the teacher's face clearly, she couldn't smile anymore. She was stunned. It was actually Lu Jingyou...
She rubbed her eyes and looked again and again carefully.
That’s right, it’s Lu Jingyou!
He sent her a text message the day before yesterday, saying that he would be back in two days. She was busy at the time and didn't have time to reply. She only replied to his text message this morning, but he didn't reply. She thought he didn't see it and didn't care.
Who would have thought that he would appear in the classroom, and he was the teacher... She didn't hear a word he said, and was even embarrassed to look up at him.
But the seat Tang Ling reserved for her was in the first row.
Tang Ling, on the other hand, was listening with great interest. Seeing Su Jiaojiao lowering her head, she nudged her arm and said, "The new teacher's lectures are much more exciting than the old man's before. I almost fell asleep last time."
Su Jiaojiao suddenly raised her head and her gaze met Lu Jingyou's.
Their eyes met. Su Jiaojiao lowered her head and flipped through the book. Suddenly, she remembered that he had given her a class when he was in Northwest China. At that time, she was still in high school. His class was easy to understand and he was actually quite good at it...
The get out of class finally ended, and Lu Jingyou didn't stay after class. He left on time.
Su Jiaojiao slowly packed her bag and left the classroom at Tang Ling's urging: "Hurry up, I'll take you to see my new office, and then we'll go eat spicy hot pot together tonight."
The setting sun cast an orange glow on the faces of the two people, youthful and beautiful. Lu Jingyou sat in the car, quietly looking at the familiar figure in front of her. His car was parked on the side of the road, but she didn't even notice it. Instead, she followed others, chatting and laughing...
Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. He saw her stop by the roadside, took out her phone from her schoolbag and answered: "Mr. Lu..."
"I'll be waiting for you at the south gate of the school. Pack up and come over. I have something to talk to you about."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to agree, and then said to Tang Ling, "Sorry, I have something to do and have to go out for a while. I'll come to see your new office another day."
"Date?" Tang Ling looked at her with a smile.
"No." Su Jiaojiao's face turned red.
"No, then no. Why are you blushing?" Tang Ling smiled and waved at her, "Then I'll be leaving first."
Su Jiaojiao was busy shipping things in the morning, and when she got back at noon she didn't even have time to change clothes for class. She went back to the dormitory, showered, and changed clothes before carrying her bag to the South Gate to find Lu Jingyou's car. She opened the back door and got in. "When did you come back?"
"This morning." Lu Jingyou started the car and looked at her in the rearview mirror, his lips curled up. "You're dressed like this, are you planning to negotiate with me?"
In order to see her, he changed out of his formal clothes and wore a casual plaid windbreaker and jeans.
She was wearing a pink and white suit and white shirt, with her hair combed neatly, and she was just missing a tie.
"Is there a problem?" Su Jiaojiao didn't think there was anything wrong with her outfit. She bought it at a boutique suit shop in the Wudaokou Clothing Wholesale Market. The fabric was of good quality and could be worn in any occasion.
"It's okay." Seeing that she was wrapped up tightly and wearing white high heels, Lu Jingyou couldn't help laughing. "Actually, I came to see you today for nothing. I just wanted to have a meal with Qi Heng and the others."
"Eating with them?" Su Jiaojiao asked in surprise, "You didn't even tell me."
"It's the same if I tell you now." Lu Jingyou laughed again, "You can already go to negotiate, so why are you afraid of meeting Qi Heng and the others?"
"But I don't want to go." Su Jiaojiao was a little angry, "You didn't even ask for my consent and didn't consider my feelings at all."
"Okay, I accept the criticism and will be more careful next time." Lu Jingyou steered the wheel expertly. "He Siyu and Qi Heng are both family members. You don't have to be restrained."
Su Jiaojiao turned her head and looked out the window without saying a word.
To him, they are his own people.
To her, they were not her own people.
They had made an appointment at a private restaurant, also in an alley. When they entered, He Siyu and Qi Heng had already arrived. Seeing Su Jiaojiao, Qi Heng's eyes lit up as he introduced her to He Siyu: "Come, come, this is the famous Miss Su Jiaojiao. I don't need to explain the rest."
"Hello, Miss Su." He Siyu was dressed in a suit and tie. He nodded politely at Su Jiaojiao and smiled, revealing his white teeth.
"Hello." Su Jiaojiao smiled and turned to greet Qi Heng, "Hello, Mr. Qi."
"Actually, we should call Miss Su "Junior Sister", since we are all alumni of Peking University!" Qi Heng suggested. He felt embarrassed when Su Jiaojiao called him that.
"Right, right, I almost forgot about that!" He Siyu immediately changed her tone, "Junior sister, it wasn't easy for Jingyou to invite you out. Junior sister, you were always hiding your face, but this time I finally saw the real person."
"Next time we will treat Junior Sister to a meal as a welcome treat for her." Qi Heng walked into the private room first and pulled out a chair for Su Jiaojiao very gentlemanly.
"Why don't you treat me this time?" Lu Jingyou took off his coat and sat next to Su Jiaojiao. "We don't know when the next time will be!"
"Those evil capitalists are always trying to exploit us." Qi Heng frowned and said to Su Jiaojiao seriously, "Junior Sister, you have to take good care of him and guide him down the right path of actively treating others."
Su Jiaojiao smiled but said nothing.
