Chapter 47 White Porridge
[Zhou Yang: How can you predict the future so well?]
Song Xuhong: Zhang Mingfeng really did something to you! I had my friend secretly look for your application form, but sure enough, they couldn't find it. My friend was quite clever, and he learned from the registration girl that Zhang Mingfeng had taken yours and a few others' forms, claiming they were exceptionally talented and that he was going to show them to Teacher Zheng personally. Damn it, you guys are so talented, I'm almost ready to strangle you to death.
Zhou Yang was a little worried as his forehead, which had just relaxed, wrinkled again.
[Zhou Yang: You didn’t alert the enemy, did you?]
Song Xuhong: Of course not, don't worry! However, there is a serious problem.
【Zhou Yang: What’s the problem?】
[Song Xuhong: Your resume photo is so good-looking, the young lady recognized you at once]
…
[Zhou Yang: I can't photoshop my ID photo, right? What should I do?]
[Song Xuhong: The girl must be weird, so my friend went to great lengths to make up an excuse for you.]
【Zhou Yang: What’s the reason?】
Song Xuhong: There was an error in the previous form. I don't want to take shortcuts, so I must not let Zhang Mingfeng know about this.
"..." Is this a lame excuse worth all the effort?
[Song Xuhong: There's another problem. The girl thinks you're honest, talented, and handsome, and she really wants to be your friend.]
“…”
Song Xuhong: "I couldn't refuse the young lady's kindness, so my friend had to reveal that your WeChat ID is the phone number you filled in. I guess you'll receive a WeChat friend request soon."
“…”
[Zhou Yang: My friend is me series?]
Song Xuhong: Hehe, I feel safe with you personally. I've found out everything. Zhang Mingfeng is on a business trip today and is basically at the company every day. That young lady definitely won't betray you.
Before Zhou Yang could reply, he heard a "ding" sound, and a request notification of "Guoguo requests to add you as a friend" was sent.
Zhou Yang suspected that the young lady was right next to Song Xuhong. It would be too embarrassing if he ignored the message.
Song Xuhong: Let me tell you, I've gained more than just this from coming here today. Your earlier suspicion that Zhang Mingfeng had some leverage over the company's top management is indeed true, but I'm more inclined to believe that Zhang Mingfeng is having an affair with someone. Guess who that person is?
Zhou Yang was not very familiar with Anxia's senior management structure, but as they were both in the design industry, he had heard of it.
Gossip will definitely gossip.
【Zhou Yang: Who is it?】
[Song Xuhong: Anxia Vice President Wu Zhongyi]
【Zhou Yang: Is it him?】
Anxia Vice President Wu Zhongyi is even more famous than the company's president, not because he appears in the company more often, but because of the positive image he has established.
Although Wu Zhongyi also came from a design background, he was not outstanding, but he was very good at management. He was promoted by the president as an exception, and later he smoothly rose to the position of vice president.
In addition to his successful career, his family is also very happy, with a beautiful wife and lovely twins.
Wu Zhongyi, who was nearly forty years old when he had his first child, has a pair of children who are only twelve years old now and have not yet graduated from elementary school.
Several years ago, Wu Zhongyi became famous after netizens accidentally took photos of him picking up his wife from get off work and his two children from kindergarten. They also learned that he was a senior executive of Anxia.
Netizens are discussing how he is a successful man who still insists on picking up his wife to and from get off work and his children to and from school. He is a role model for men across the country and an ideal husband in the eyes of women across the country.
Some people also questioned whether he was just hyping himself up, but when the bored masses noticed that Wu Zhongyi had been picking up and dropping off his wife and children every day for years, and sometimes even posted pictures of the delicious meals he cooked on his personal Weibo, no one questioned him anymore.
Since then, Wu Zhongyi has been known as "China's Good Man." Of course, the positive image he established was also very helpful for the company's publicity, which was also one of the important factors in his promotion to vice president.
Song Xuhong: You find it strange too, right? Wu Zhongyi has always had a positive image. If my friend hadn't happened to see Zhang Mingfeng frequently going to the hotel with Wu Zhongyi a while ago, I'm afraid this would be a huge secret, buried forever.
Zhou Yang was silent for a while. If this was true, if he wanted to fight back against Zhang Mingfeng later, he would have to hurt Wu Zhongyi.
【Zhou Yang: Are you sure?】
[Song Xuhong: Not sure, because it's also possible that two grown men checked into a hotel just to chat]
Zhou Yang: “…”
[Song Xuhong: picture/picture/picture/picture/picture/picture/picture/picture]
【Song Xuhong: Compressed file.rar】
“…”
Zhou Yang didn't open the compressed file, but just looked at the nine pictures in a row. They were all pictures of Zhang Mingfeng and Wu Zhongyi going to the hotel.
In each photo, the two wore different clothes, which clearly showed that they were not taken on the same day. Some of the photos even had different hotel backgrounds. There were also photos of the two of them entering the hotel together, going upstairs together, and even entering the same room together.
To be honest, this is no different from ironclad evidence.
Song Xuhong: From what I know about Zhang Mingfeng, he won't give up easily if he sees you on the preliminary list. Even though Wu Zhongyi isn't the main judge, he still has a lot of influence in the competition. If he brings up the past and falsely accuses you again, the judges won't tolerate any injustice. You might not even be able to compete.
Zhou Yang: Don't worry about this. I can prove I didn't plagiarize. My instructor and fellow students are willing to provide me with letters of guarantee and written proof. However, I need to bring Zhang Mingfeng to ruin so that my reputation will be more solid.
Song Xuhong always thought that Zhou Yang was a saintly father who didn't care about anything. It seemed that he was loyal to his friends and ruthless to his enemies, which was really to his liking.
[Song Xuhong: We opened a studio together and are friends, so we are one. If you need any help, just ask directly. I will do my best to help, and I will tell you directly if I can't help.]
The war with Zhang Mingfeng was not an easy one, so it would be great to have Song Xuhong's help. He said "good" without any pretense.
After finishing the chat with Song Xuhong, Zhou Yang found that the "Guoguo" he had just added sent a voice message to him.
Zhou Yang clicked it and a gentle and pleasant female voice came.
"Hello, my name is Zhao Guoguo!"
Zhou Yang was not used to chatting with strangers by voice, so after listening, he replied with text: Hello, my name is Zhou Yang.
Zhao Guoguo sent another voice message: "I like you."
Zhou Yang: “…” This girl is so aggressive, she confessed as soon as she added me on WeChat?
He was just thinking about how to decline politely when he saw two more messages from the girl on WeChat: I'm sorry, I accidentally let go of your hand when I was only halfway through my sentence. What I meant was, I really like your looks and personality. I like you as an idol and a friend. Can we be friends?
It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and the girl had helped him a lot. Zhou Yang replied: Of course.
After he finished replying to the message, he looked up and saw Lin Qiyuan standing in front of him holding a bowl, with a gloomy face, as if someone owed him hundreds of millions.
"you……"
"You accepted her?"
"Ah?" Zhou Yang was confused.
"Did you accept the girl's confession just now?"
"Ah?" Zhou Yang was bewildered. "Confession?"
Seeing Zhou Yang still playing dumb, Lin Qiyuan blushed with anger. "She's a girl who's infatuated with you. It's not wrong for you to like her. But, when you're in love, you need to know everything about her. You have to think it through."
Although these words were clearly words of concern, Zhou Yang could still hear a hint of threat and sourness in them.
How strange.
Zhou Yang glanced at the bowl of white rice porridge in Lin Qiyuan's hand and asked, "Is this for me? Did you buy the white porridge?"
Lin Qiyuan placed the bowl and spoon on the table next to him and said coldly, "Cooked."
I didn't buy it, I cooked it...
"You cooked it?" Zhou Yang was surprised, then subconsciously asked, "Have you washed the rice?"
Lin Qiyuan's face darkened. "It's mine. You can drink it or not. If you don't want to drink it, ask that woman to make it for you."
"That woman?" If Zhou Yang still couldn't tell that Lin Qiyuan was angry and still had some misunderstanding about him, then it would be a waste of his time living under the same roof with him.
"Yangyang, are you feeling better?" Zhou Yang heard the voice before seeing the person. Just as he was about to explain things to Lin Qiyuan, he heard the voice of Cheng Fei who was coming upstairs.
After a few seconds, Cheng Fei appeared at his door.
"Zhou Yang, are you feeling better? You gave us a hard time last night!"
Zhou Yang had a high fever last night, and although he was groggy the whole time, he still remembered that Cheng Fei came with a doctor friend of his and gave him an IV drip.
"Thank you, I feel much better now. The fever is gone."
"That's good. Liang Xin has prescribed three days of anti-inflammatory medicine for you. Take one pill three times a day after meals. Remember to take it on time."
Guessing that Liang Xin was the doctor who treated him last night, Zhou Yang hurriedly thanked him: "Then please thank Doctor Liang for me."
"No big deal." Cheng Fei waved his hand and said indifferently, suddenly, "Xiao Yuan, why do you look so dark?"
Lin Qiyuan ignored him.
"Zhou Yang, do you know? When I was a kid, my family was poor and we cooked with firewood. Lin Qi... Xiao Yuan's face looked exactly like the ash at the bottom of the pot, hahahahaha..."
When Zhou Yang lived with his grandmother, he also saw cooking with firewood. It must be said that Cheng Fei's description was quite good.
However, if Lin Qiyuan had not mentioned that Cheng Fei was a fifth-generation rich man, Zhou Yang would have believed his lies about his poor family.
Zhou Yang smiled apologetically while observing Lin Qiyuan's expression.
Just a moment ago, Zhou Yang figured it out. Lin Qiyuan must have heard the voice message Zhao Guoguo sent to him and thought that he had accepted Zhao Guoguo's confession.
However, he did not expect Lin Qiyuan to react so strongly.
He didn't understand why Lin Qiyuan reacted like this.
Could it be...
Is it because he feels that his friend is going to be taken away and is jealous?
Lin Qiyuan probably considered him a very important friend. When he was about to leave, he tried hard to keep him. But this time was different. If he really had a girlfriend, she might have to move out soon. Lin Qiyuan wouldn't be able to keep him. Maybe he was so angry because he didn't want to lose him as a friend.
He should explain it clearly.
"Forest……"
"Hey, is this white porridge?" Cheng Fei walked closer to the bedside table curiously, "Lin... Yuan, did you buy this?"
"I cooked it. What brings you here so early in the morning?"
"Of course I came here early this morning because I'm a friend and I'm worried about Zhou Yang's health. And what do you mean by cooked? Did you cook it? Is it edible?"
Under Lin Qiyuan's scorching gaze, Cheng Fei took a sip of porridge and smacked his lips. "Not bad, you're quite capable. You must have practiced this skill many times. Wait, your dark circles are so heavy, isn't it... the porridge that was cooked overnight?"
