Chi Xia tentatively suggested, "How about... we start sharing a meal with them from noon onwards?"
Ran Zhu's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, but she did not reply. Instead, she quietly observed the reactions of Chunli and Zhang Xin.
Chi Xia also looked over, and asked casually, "What do you guys think?"
Zhang Xin hesitated. Although she had let go of those things, she still couldn't quite accept that the goods were delivered to her door right after she had let them go.
Chunli was easy to talk to; her eyes lit up when she heard she had to go back to sharing a meal with the neighbors next door. This made Chi Xia feel even more guilty, as she felt she had not only blocked Chunli's happiness but also prevented everyone from enjoying a meal.
With a ratio of three to one, the decision to resume partnerships with the neighboring company was made.
However, even if they were to resume partnerships, they absolutely could not compromise on their social standing.
It's absolutely impossible for them to run over and ask if there's food. Instead, the neighbors would have to obediently beg them to come and eat.
Don't ask why. If you do, it's because of a woman's pride and self-respect.
My head may be severed, my blood may flow, but my dignity must not be lost!
When Zhang Xin heard that it wasn't a home delivery, she immediately felt no qualms. The four women huddled together, chattering away as they discussed the matter and devised a pinky promise.
After finishing her meal, Ran Zhu set off as planned.
She first pretended to take a walk after dinner, walking back and forth between the two villas seven or eight times.
According to their plan, those few men possessed by the spirit of Gou Sheng would definitely seize the opportunity to inquire with Ran Zhu about Chun Li or Zhang Xin's feedback after receiving the short essay. At that time, Ran Zhu would only need to subtly mention that to win a woman's heart, one must first win her stomach.
In this way, the idea of joining forces can be easily realized.
But despite Ran Zhu pacing back and forth downstairs seven or eight times, there was still no sound from the door of the villa next door. Chun Li, who was secretly observing from the second floor, gritted her teeth in anger. Before Ran Zhu could finish her ten rounds, she shouted for someone to come back.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" Chunli stormed downstairs, gulping down a mouthful of water. "I'm going to hang the 'No Dogs Allowed Next Door' sign outside the yard!"
Zhang Xin and Chi Xia were also very upset. They suddenly felt that these scoundrels were really despicable. They weren't sincere at all, and they had even thought of giving them a chance.
And what were the men doing at this time?
Li Han and Liu Daniu were busy continuing to work on their short essays. They only knew that Chunli and Zhang Xin wanted short essays, but they didn't know how many short essays they would need to win the heart of the beauty. Therefore, the two of them went into seclusion to create.
As for Han Junche, although he still maintained his aloof and noble persona, he had been without a beautiful woman in his arms for more than a month, and he had begun to feel a little resentful.
When Han Junche is in a bad mood, he usually turns into an iceberg, making everyone around him shiver. But when his bad mood turns into resentment, he becomes an abandoned golden retriever, staying in his room all day, lying on the bed, hugging a blanket, listless.
However, his aloof and noble persona was so deeply ingrained that people assumed he had come to terms with things when they saw that he wasn't radiating coldness.
Qin Zhao and the others, who thought he had come to his senses, took a break and started playing cards, singing, and drinking. No one thought to check what was going on outside, so naturally no one knew that the people next door had beckoned to them.
Chunli acted immediately, hanging the sign outside the yard.
However, at noon, after eating another meal of food from the cafeteria, she quietly took the sign back, slapped her thigh, and volunteered to 'digest' in Ranzhu's place.
