"Hmm." Although Zhu Jinzhao was timid, he didn't lie to Zhu Mingyue.
Zhu Mingyue: "...With your brain that's like a machine, it no longer arouses my interest in harming you."
She got up from the sofa, turned around angrily, and went upstairs. Her slender back revealed a hint of irritation: "I'm so full of myself that I'm too lazy to even take my slippers to the pond to swat the fish, let alone bother you anymore..."
"...Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao watched her leave, a big question mark hanging over his forehead.
What does Zhu Mingyue mean by this? Is she trying to help her?
That's impossible. Zhu Mingyue hates her so much, why would she want to help her?
Tsk, humans are such inexplicable and complicated creatures. Forget it, I can't figure it out anyway, so I'll just stop thinking about it.
Zhu Jinzhao shook his head, took out his phone from his bag, and sent a WeChat message to Shi Jing.
—Shi Jing, I've signed the contract.
Shi Jing was probably busy, and Zhu Jinzhao had already finished her afternoon nap when she received his reply.
Okay. When will Star Media officially announce your debut?
I hope you can sit at your desk today, memorizing key points while replying in your spare time.
—One month later. After I finish my midterms, I'll complete my last major course.
Shi Jing: OK, good luck on your exam. I've already found you connections in the entertainment industry, so you'll have someone to protect you when you debut.
Zhu Jinzhao: Thank you! You are such a kind person!
Shi Jing: We're all friends, no need to be so polite.
"Young Master Shi, are you really sure? Are you sure you want to appear on a variety show?"
Qin Ming brought in two cups of coffee and placed one of them on Shi Jing's table.
Shi Jing put away his phone, reached for his coffee and took a small sip. His impeccably tailored haute couture suit shone brilliantly in the sunlight.
"I've thought it through. My dad himself said that I should keep up with the times and use the most fashionable methods to attract popularity for Shiyun Group. Tell me, is there any more fashionable way to attract traffic than entering the entertainment industry or becoming an internet celebrity?"
Qin Ming sat down opposite him, lazily crossing his legs: "Indeed there isn't, but if you want to attract traffic, you don't need to do it yourself, Young Master Shi. It's such a waste of your talent."
"Where is this a waste of talent?" Shi Jing put down his coffee and admired his handsome face on the black computer screen. "I'm so stunningly good-looking, I should go into the entertainment industry and show my face. If I weren't afraid of my dad beating me up, I would want to change the logo of Shiyun Group to my own ID photo."
"..." Qin Ming was speechless.
Shi Jing was so obsessed with her own beauty that she couldn't help herself: "I'm not bragging, but with a face as stunning as mine, I could easily earn three million if I went into the adult entertainment industry!"
"..." Qin Ming put the coffee aside, took out his phone and opened the dial pad. "How disgusting, I'm going to call Uncle Shi to complain."
"Don't move!" Shi Jing pointed at him, her infatuated gaze instantly clearing. "I'm opening my heart to you, and you're playing mind games with me! Can't you take a joke?"
Qin Ming rolled his eyes at him: "I've never heard such a disgusting joke before... Seriously, Shi Jing, are you really going to participate in that dating reality show?"
Shi Jing hummed in agreement: "It's decided. I decided a few days ago."
Qin Ming: "The guests invited to that variety show are all strangers to each other. With your 'keep away to strangers and keep away from acquaintances' personality, how can you possibly get along with them?"
"Heh..." Shi Jing chuckled dismissively. "Who said I was going to play with them?"
Qin Ming asked in confusion, "Why are you going on variety shows if you're not going to hang out with them? It's just for advertising."
"No." Shi Jing took out his phone again, unlocked it, and opened WeChat. Looking at the emoji Zhu Jinzhao had just sent, his voice suddenly softened. "I don't hang out with those strangers because I'll bring a friend with me."
"Who?" Qin Ming's gossip spirit suddenly ignited, and his eyes lit up.
Shi Jing didn't say it explicitly, only saying, "You'll find out when the time comes."
"Tch..." Qin Ming suddenly felt listless.
"Buzzing—"
Zhu Jinzhao was feeling dizzy and bored from studying, so Lu Yuzhou sent her a WeChat message to cheer her up.
—Have you had lunch this morning?
Zhu Jinzhao replied instantly: I ate, did you eat, brother?
Loading: Oh, I haven't eaten yet. I'm too busy to go out to eat or order takeout.
—Oh, brother, you've worked so hard.
Zhu Jinchao pretended not to understand his hints.
He was quiet for a while, then suddenly started begging for food on the spot.
—Today, I really don't have time to order food. Could you please order some takeout for me and have it delivered to my house?
Zhu Jinzhao gritted her teeth and agreed: Okay, what does brother want to eat?
Lu Yuzhou immediately sent over a food delivery link.
——【Hi~ The only thing separating us is a takeout meal~ Can you pay for it for me? (Actual payment: 430.89)】
"Four hundred and thirty!!!" Zhu Jinzhao almost dropped his jaw in shock when he saw the three numbers on the link. "You ordered food for four hundred and thirty?! I've lived for twenty years and I've never eaten takeout for four hundred and thirty... This isn't just asking for the moon, it's Li Yunlong firing his cannon!"
While cursing, she clicked on the link and entered her payment password with trembling fingers.
—Brother has bought everything, please enjoy your lunch!
...
Lu Yuzhou got his food and then disappeared again.
Zhu Jinchao opened his accounting software and recorded the huge sum of 430 yuan on it.
At this moment, Lu Yuzhou sent another WeChat message, but deleted it two seconds later.
Unfortunately, I spotted the WeChat message today.
—Hahaha, the 430 yuan for the flowers has been offset.
"..." Zhu Jinzhao is numb.
From that day on, Lu Yuzhou ended his more than week-long period of silent treatment of Zhu Jinzhao. But at the same time, he continued to pursue Zhu Mingyue.
When Zhu Mingyue goes to the cafeteria for meals, Lu Yuzhou will prepare a special bento box for her in advance.
She looked at the heart-shaped fried egg in the lunchbox and sighed dejectedly.
Lu Yuzhou sat next to her, gazing at her quietly with his deep, affectionate peach blossom eyes.
She sat there like a wooden statue, neither speaking nor touching her chopsticks.
Zhu Jinchao was hiding in a corner spying on her. Upon seeing this, he quickly took out his phone and sent her a message.
Human Machine Chao: Mingyue! You absolutely must not eat the food he prepared; he didn't cook it himself at all!
Zhu Mingyue: Did you pick it up from the trash can?
Human Machine Chao: No! The meals Lu Yuzhou delivers are all just pieces of pre-made food! He only picks the cheapest pieces to put together, completely disregarding whether the food is clean or not! Take this braised chicken in front of you, for example, the chicken meat was probably older than you before it was thawed!
Zhu Mingyue: "...I don't like heart-shaped eggs, and I don't like you either. Please stop making these things for me."
After delivering a cold rejection, Zhu Mingyue immediately stood up from her chair and turned to walk towards Zhu Jinzhao.
Zhu Jinzhao had just put his phone away when he saw Zhu Mingyue sitting down next to him.
"Go get me a meal. I don't want any dishes with eggs or chicken."
"Okay!" Zhu Jinzhao skipped off eagerly.
