Ten minutes ago, Lu Yuzhou was invited into the office by his major's counselor!
"!!!" Zhu Jinzhao's eyes widened, and his fingers flew across the screen.
—What happened? Did the school see the confession wall you posted?
Jiang Jingwen: I don't know, but I guess it's very likely related to this video.
Zhu Jinzhao: Ugh... I'm getting my comeuppance! Awesome!
But in fact, Lu Yuzhou being invited into the counselor's office had nothing to do with Zhu Jinzhao's matter.
Lu Yuzhou is already a senior in college, and his internship is with a well-known company in Beijing. He was supposed to report to the company a week ago, but he kept making excuses to delay because he wanted to pursue Zhu Mingyue and live off her.
The company was losing patience with him and started considering replacing him.
Just then, a classmate who had a grudge against him wrote a whistleblower email to the company exposing him. Upon seeing it, the company leaders promptly returned Lu Yuzhou's internship resume and revoked his internship qualification.
The internship involved various data of the school, and when the counselor found out about it, he immediately called Lu Yuzhou into his office and gave him a severe scolding!
Overnight, Lu Yuzhou not only lost face but also his internship. He had nowhere to even cry.
...
Midterm exams are fast approaching, and Zhu Jinchao is nervously taking all the exams before entering the debut preparation stage.
On the day the exam results came out, Zhu Jinzhao and Zhu Mingyue had just signed their first business deal.
After leaving Qunxing Media, they went directly to the school to pick up their internship certificates.
"My God, I didn't fail a single subject! I passed them all!" Zhu Jinzhao was so happy when he received his results that he almost jumped up on the spot.
"Thanks to the fake heiress for passing down her brains!"
"Thank you for what?" Zhu Mingyue didn't hear her clearly.
"N-nothing." Zhu Jinzhao put away his phone, suppressing his excitement, and turned to flatter Zhu Mingyue.
"Mingyue, your grades are amazing! You've only been here a short time and you've already gotten first place in your major. This year's top scholarship is definitely yours!"
Zhu Mingyue was anything but modest: "My grades have always been excellent. I'm always first in my major no matter which school I attend. But you, your exam results weren't very good. They're nothing compared to your grades from the previous two years. You didn't even manage to get a scholarship."
Zhu Jinzhao said helplessly, "I've already done my best..."
Zhu Mingyue glanced at her helplessly: "Su Ying will also be on this variety show. Are you prepared to confront her head-on?"
Zhu Jinzhao nodded: "I'm ready. Sister Yang said that I should just focus on doing my own thing, and she will take care of everything else, such as marketing and press releases."
"What about you, Mingyue? Did Sister Yang tell you what kind of persona you should establish?"
Zhu Mingyue: "No. She just told me to keep things as they are."
Zhu Jinchao: "Oh."
"From today onwards, you are an artist in the entertainment industry. For your own sake and for the sake of the Zhu family, you must always be mindful of your words and actions, and avoid causing a lot of trouble right after your debut."
Zhu Jinzhao walks with small steps, and Zhu Mingyue, annoyed that she can't keep up, reaches out and tugs at her.
She staggered forward and stood beside Zhu Mingyue, obediently replying, "I understand."
Zhu Mingyue: "It's good that you know."
"You're going to enter the entertainment industry too?!"
Lu Yuzhou appeared out of nowhere and suddenly grabbed Zhu Jinzhao's wrist.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Jinzhao forcefully shook him off and took a few steps back with a look of disgust in her eyes.
"Zhu Jinchao, explain yourself clearly! Are you also going to enter the entertainment industry?!"
Lu Yuzhou was a little agitated. Zhu Jinzhao had just dodged him when he started to chase after her with red eyes.
"Get out of my way!"
Zhu Mingyue stood in front of Zhu Jinzhao, blocking Lu Yuzhou for her.
She looked up in surprise, staring in astonishment at the slender figure before her.
"Zhu Mingyue, I was talking to Zhu Jinzhao without you in the background. Why are you meddling in my business?" Lu Yuzhou glared at Zhu Mingyue fiercely, his tone full of impatience.
Zhu Mingyue tilted her head slightly and asked, "Zhu Jinzhao, do you want to talk to him?"
Zhu Jinzhao shook her head: "I don't want to talk to him. I feel disgusted just looking at him."
Zhu Mingyue: "Did you hear that? She doesn't want to talk to you."
"..." Lu Yuzhou angrily looked away, refusing to look at her or pay her any attention.
"Zhu Jinchao!" He took a step to his right, stared into Zhu Jinchao's eyes, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about your entry into the entertainment industry?"
"Why should I tell you?" This question was utterly absurd. Zhu Jinzhao frowned, looking Lu Yuzhou up and down with an extremely annoyed expression.
Lu Yuzhou replied matter-of-factly, "Because I hadn't broken up with you back then, I was still your boyfriend! Shouldn't you have told me something as big as you becoming a star?"
"Ha..." Zhu Jinzhao laughed, "Back then you were busy cheating and flirting, you only replied to my WeChat messages twice a week, and you still had time to care about whether I became a star or not?"
“You…” Lu Yuzhou was hit where it hurt, and all his bravado vanished instantly.
Zhu Jinzhao: "What's wrong with me? Even if you hadn't cheated on me back then, I still didn't plan to tell you that I was going to enter the entertainment industry. Because if I told you, you would feel at ease continuing to live off me."
"..." Lu Yuzhou had no rebuttal, because Zhu Jinzhao was not wrong at all.
"You disgusting scumbag, stop bothering me!" Zhu Jinzhao didn't want to get entangled with him. After saying this, she grabbed Zhu Mingyue's arm and turned to leave.
"Don't go!" Lu Yuzhou chased after her relentlessly, reaching out to grab Zhu Jinzhao.
"You've caused me so much loss, you owe me an explanation—"
"Slap him."
The sound of Zhu Jinzhao's slap and Zhu Mingyue's voice rang out at the same time.
"Smack!"
Lu Yuzhou's face was branded with a handprint by Zhu Jinzhao.
Zhu Jinzhao used all his strength, and his hand went numb from the impact of the slap.
"Phew..." She shook her hand, her expression one of utter astonishment. "I... I hit someone for the first time, it felt so good!"
Lu Yuzhou covered his burning cheek, his face drained of color: "Zhu Jinzhao, how dare you hit me!"
Zhu Jinzhao gave a twisted smile: "If you don't leave, I'll slap you again."
Zhu Mingyue immediately pulled out her phone and answered an alarm: "Hey, big brother, Chaochao and I are being harassed at school..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yuzhou fled in panic.
“...Coward.” Zhu Mingyue put down her phone and couldn’t help but curse.
"Let's go." She tugged at Zhu Jinzhao's schoolbag and led her toward the school gate.
"Buzzing—"
Zhu Jinzhao's phone rang at that moment; it was a WeChat message from Shi Jing.
—Everything is ready, looking forward to the appearance of the superstar!
