The girl looked down at the coffee on the table, took another sip tentatively, and immediately frowned.
This coffee is so sweet, only young people would like it, right?
Bystanders: "..." What's wrong? You're 18 and you look old?
Pharmacy.
Ji Shuo nodded upon hearing those two words.
Not bad. Looks like he's not planning to just coast along anymore. That's a good start.
Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed to dislike the caramel macchiato, Ji Shuo's expression was a little awkward.
"Qiqi, don't blame me for talking too much, but there are some things I should tell you. The president of University A might not like you very much at the beginning of the semester because he doesn't like this kind of admission method."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Don't take it to heart when the time comes."
The girl nodded, but her face remained expressionless.
It seems she's not really suited to sweet drinks; she's not quite used to this caramel macchiato.
Ji Shuo probably never imagined that while he was seriously talking to her about important matters, this guy was thinking about whether the caramel macchiato was sweet!
This is outrageous!
"It's okay. I told him I could ask any question, so it's normal that he doesn't like it."
After all, who would like someone who got in through connections? Surely you can win him over with your abilities, right?
With the letter of introduction, she would truly be considered a "connected person," and even if she didn't like it, she wouldn't have a say.
Not far away, Lin Yue looked at the bag she had just bought, her smile impossible to hide.
She had wanted this bag for a long time, but because it was a limited edition, she couldn't buy it until now. She didn't know how many people she had asked or how much money she had spent before finally getting it.
The more I look at it, the more I like it.
She held a small spoon in her hand and happily ate the dessert on the table.
"Yueyue, your bag is so beautiful, it perfectly matches your style!" The girl opposite looked at Lin Yue, then glanced at the bag next to her, her eyes filled with envy.
Actually, she really liked the bag, but her status was a factor...
"Of course! You have no idea how many connections I had my friends abroad pull to get this bag, and it cost me a lot of money."
His words were full of boasting. A large, white set of teeth gleamed in the sunlight.
The girl opposite her looked at her and forced a smile.
But she couldn't say anything, since in terms of family background, she was indeed no match for Lin Yue.
"Hey? Isn't that Miss Shen? She likes coffee too?"
The girl was subconsciously looking around when she unexpectedly spotted that familiar figure.
Now, almost everyone in City A knows Qi Jiu. Her captivating looks, enviable family background, and recent movie role have greatly increased her fame.
Upon hearing the words "Miss Shen," Lin Yue's expression froze instinctively. The smile on her lips slowly faded.
That exquisite face involuntarily appeared in my mind.
With her neck stiff, she slowly turned her head like a robot, and sure enough, she saw that somewhat familiar figure not far away.
"Qi Jiu? What's she doing here?"
Perhaps because of her expression, the girl opposite her seemed to have noticed something and lowered her head without saying a word.
Lin Yue, on the other hand, seemed to be bewitched, staring intently at the girl's profile. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was trying to find something interesting on Qi Jiu's face.
But right now, only she knows that her mind is completely blank.
The events that had occurred at the G China direct sales store were still echoing in my mind.
It was Qi Jiu who made it so that she could never buy G products again. At the time, she was only saying things in Qin Yao's favor because she thought Qin Yao's backing was the Qi family.
Of course, what happened later made her realize that what she thought was just what she thought.
Who's that on the other side?
Perhaps due to the angle, Lin Yue couldn't see the person opposite Qi Jiu clearly; she could only see their back.
All I knew was that it was a man, but the person standing next to him looked somewhat familiar.
But the girl opposite her saw something different.
"It looks somewhat familiar."
As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and abruptly pulled out her phone, her fingers nimbly tapping the screen. When she saw the result, she stared at Qi Jiu in shock.
"Yueyue, the one opposite Miss Shen looks like... the director of the Education Bureau of City A."
Lin Yue was taken aback, looking at the person opposite her with a tentative look in her eyes, "You mean... Director Ji Shuo?"
Perhaps due to her family background, she, being in a high position, naturally knew the director of the city's education bureau. But how did Qi Jiu come to know him?
I hadn't heard anything about her having any connection with the director of the education bureau before.
Seeing the girl across from her nod, she got up and went to the opposite seat, shoving the girl into her own spot.
From this vantage point, the view is much clearer.
She glanced at the two people chatting and laughing not far away, her gaze unconsciously falling on their table.
What is that? It looks a bit like... a letter?
She took out her phone, turned on the camera, and slowly swiped her finger across the screen. Perhaps feeling guilty, she didn't dare to make any big movements, so she could only make out a rough outline of what it was.
"Yueyue, what are you doing?"
Lin Yue didn't answer her. She slowly shrank the camera until the entire screen could fit Qi Jiu and Ji Shuo together, and then she stopped.
My thumb clicked the shutter button several times.
She didn't know what motivated her to take these photos secretly, but she always felt that these photos would be useful in the future.
Especially when dealing with Qi Jiu.
Ever since that incident at the G direct sales store, she has somehow come to regard Qi Jiu as her imaginary enemy.
"let's go."
The girl across from him paused, looking at the uneaten dessert on the table, somewhat puzzled. "But we haven't finished our coffee yet, and the dessert too..."
"I don't want to drink anymore. If you're reluctant, then you can finish it before you leave!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the bag she had just bought and left.
The girl looked at the table full of desserts, grabbed her bag, and chased after them.
Between desserts and Miss Lin, she still knew which to choose.
At the same time, Qi Jiu glanced at the iced Americano that the waiter had just brought over, her eyes glancing almost imperceptibly towards the entrance of the coffee shop, and a slow smile crept onto her lips.
Voyeur.
"That's about it. My new house is still being set up, and I don't have time to waste here with you."
Seeing the girl who had just gotten up, Ji Shuo subconsciously called out to her.
“Qiqi! My son said… he wants to see you. He’s asked me several times before, and I’ve always refused, but this time, I just can’t take it anymore. He’s too much of a nuisance. He said he wants to see his savior.”
