Caught in a dilemma
Ding-a-ling!
The bell rang on time. The teacher seemed to be looking forward to the end of get out of class more than the students. As soon as the bell rang, he packed up his things and prepared to go out.
Jian Jianan was also packing her things. After she packed her cloth bag, she handed it to the dormitory head Zhang Yezi.
"Thank you, Ye Zi! Please take it back to the dormitory for me and put it anywhere you want!"
Zhang Yezi took it and seemed to want to say something, but after looking at the expression on Jian Jianan's face, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to say, and opened and closed his mouth a few times.
Jian Jianan glanced at Zhang Yezi strangely and said, "Thank you, dorm leader! I have something to do today and I have to go out first! I'll treat you to a meal when I come back!"
In this way, Jian Jianan gained a dorm leader who gave him a lot of headaches, as well as the wandering glances of other dormmates.
But she couldn't take care of these things now. Su Qinxuan was urging her to go there quickly.
Just when Jian Jianan was about to go out, a figure stood in the middle and stopped her.
It was Liu Huan. He leaned against the threshold and beside Jian Jianan, blocking her way, as well as the way of many classmates behind her, as if he was deliberately trying to attract more attention.
Jian Jianan looked up at him and said to him doubtfully, "Classmate, you're blocking my way. Please move aside."
Liu Huan half-smiled, but made no attempt to give way to Jian Jianan. "Oh? Blocking your way? I remember our class doesn't have classes right now, and yet you're so anxious, Jian Jianan? Where are you going? Teaching part-time? But that doesn't make sense, does it? Didn't you stop teaching part-time this semester? I wonder if you've found another way. Your standard of living has skyrocketed. Now you don't have to work so hard. I'm so envious! Can you suggest some options so I can learn from you?"
Jian Jianan frowned. Liu Huan sounded... sarcastic. Anyway, his tone didn't sound like a serious question.
And where did Liu Huan get this news from? She didn't completely give up the substitute teaching business, but she was selective in substituting. She would not attend classes that she didn't like, and she would even choose the names of the courses she would substitute for!
Jian Jianan looked into Liu Huan's eyes and looked at him seriously: "Do you really want to learn?"
"Yeah, I really want to learn."
"Okay, but I tell you, you can't learn it either. It can't be copied." Jian Jianan shrugged her shoulders, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone. Her living standard has risen sharply because of the arrival of Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping. Why should Liu Huan join in the fun? She couldn't create such a father and mother for Liu Huan out of thin air!
Liu Huan was left speechless by Jian Jianan's righteous tone, and after a moment's pause he became even angrier.
People like Jian Jianan like to get something for nothing. Not only that, she is also an excellent student and is quite popular with teachers, but this is because no one knows her true face!
After he tears off Jian Jianan's mask and exposes it in front of everyone, he wants to see if Jian Jianan can still be so at ease!
Liu Huan asked directly, "I don't think so! I saw you get out of a luxury car with my own eyes a few days ago. Do you think the owner of the car gave you this opportunity?"
Jian Jianan was stunned. If that's the case, then if his mother drove to pick him up, wouldn't she bring him some snacks or something?
But Jian Jianan didn't know that Liu Huan would take her moment of shock as guilt. Jian Jianan was feeling guilty!
He was still thinking about continuing and saying those two extremely vicious words, but the other roommates who had watched this farce could no longer hold back.
Zhang Ye Zi stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Huan, as if to help Jian Jianan resist his malicious intent. She said to Jian Jianan, "Nannan, didn't you say you had something important to do? If it's urgent, go quickly. I'll talk to Liu Huan here and explain it to him!"
Zhang Yezi put emphasis on the four words "explain carefully". Jian Jianan nodded, thanked the head of the dormitory and turned to leave.
Zhang Yezi scowled at Liu Huan, "Hey, Liu Huan, do you find it interesting that you keep targeting our Jian Jianan? I see you targeting her every time. Do you have any problem with her?"
Liu Huan raised his eyebrows nonchalantly. "How could that be? You're really wronging me! I was just concerned about her out of friendship with my university classmates. Her family isn't well off and life is difficult. Isn't it my duty to care about my classmate and see if she has any difficulties in life?"
care?
What kind of concern is this?
You stopped Jian Jianan with bad intentions in front of so many people. Is this your concern?
Zhang Yezi didn't believe it.
Chen Muya couldn't stand it any longer and also poked her head out to scold Liu Huan: "You bad guy with bad intentions, I warn you to stay away from our Nannan in the future!"
As she spoke, she threatened, "Don't let me find out that you were the one who spread these rumors, or I'll be the first one to not let you go!"
Liu Huan was unhappy, "Who said it was a rumor?!"
He saw it all with his own eyes, but he just had no evidence. With him as a witness, how could it be just a rumor?
Chen Muya scolded: "If you have the ability, then show me the evidence. If not, then don't bark here!"
Ding Ran continued: "Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation!"
Everyone knew Zhang Yezi's family situation, but Chen Muya and Ding Ran's families were not to be underestimated. So, Liu Huan didn't dare say much. He just held back his anger and said harshly, "Okay, okay, okay, you want evidence, right? Just wait, I'll find it for you!"
After saying that, he left angrily.
Zhang Yezi and the other two stood there and watched Liu Huan flee in panic. After thinking about it, Ding Ran stood up and told the classmates who were watching.
"I can responsibly tell you all that everything he said about Jian Jianan was slander. We are Jian Jianan's roommates and the people who spend the most time with her. If she really did something immoral like that, how could we not know?"
"But she always looks normal when she comes home every night. She definitely doesn't look like she's been messing around! We don't know how this rumor got around!"
"As classmates, we've all been together for a while. Isn't nearly a year enough time for you to see Jian Jianan's character clearly?"
Maybe she found other part-time jobs, who knows!
What Ding Ran wanted to say was, don't spread rumors about Jian Jianan outside. Other people may not know, but could it be that classmates don't know either?
In fact, Ding Ran was not sure how much effect her words would have, but she still did it.
Anyway, as long as you have a clear conscience, it's fine.
The others had different reactions after hearing Ding Ran's words. Some smiled and nodded as if they agreed, while others had no expression on their faces and didn't know what they were thinking. Anyway, since the protagonist of the incident had left, they all left too. They didn't know if the situation would improve, nor did they know how outrageous the rumors would be tomorrow.
But she couldn't do anything about it and could only hope that Liu Huan would have a change of heart - although she felt that Liu Huan himself might not even know what conscience was.
Thinking of this, Ding Ran couldn't help but complain, what on earth is Nan Nan doing! Is there something that can't be explained properly?
She asked Zhang Yezi, "Head of the dormitory, do you know what Nan Nan did?"
Zhang Yezi knew: "It seems that her family has come, and she is rushing to see them."
When Jian Jianan ran out of the school gate, he saw his mother Su Qinxuan's car had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing his daughter coming out, Su Qinxuan immediately waved at her, "Nannan! Come on, come on!"
Jian Jianan didn't understand why his mother was so anxious, so he ran to her side. Before he could ask her a question or two, she stuffed him into the car.
ah? ? ?
What's going on? Is your butt on fire?
Su Qinxuan stuffed her daughter into the passenger seat before opening the car door and getting in. She laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, Old Jian was even competing with me to see who could catch you, Nannan, first. Looks like I still have the upper hand! Let me send him a message. He must be regretting not coming sooner!"
Jian Jianan listened for a while before finally figuring out what was going on.
It turned out that Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping both wanted to find their daughter and take her to their company. However, there were two companies but only one daughter. What should they do?
What else can I do? I can only rob it!
At this time, there was no husband-and-wife affection between Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping, and they were still talking and laughing before leaving.
As soon as he left the house, Jian Yangping called Deng Bitong in Beijing and asked her to contact Jian Jianan later. If Jian Jianan didn't have classes, he could pick her up and bring her to Shen Ya Clothing, as he had something to talk to her about.
Su Qinxuan was more decisive. As soon as she went out, she drove towards Caida to see who could snatch the person away from her!
In this way, in the battle between Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping for his daughter, Su Qinxuan gained the main advantage with his decisiveness and agility, and successfully brought his daughter back.
Jian Jianan was completely confused when he heard this. "What are you two doing? Are you so good at playing?"
But when he thought about how his father was beating his chest and stamping his feet behind his back, Jian Jianan couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Joking aside, Su Qinxuan asked Jian Jianan to come over today because he had something important to do.
The North-South Group has encountered big problems on its road to advancement!
The Nanbei Hotel has been open for several months. It was really good in the first few days, with flower baskets lined up all over the streets, creating a thriving scene. However, as the opening time got longer, more and more problems were exposed.
The main reason is that costs are increasing, but the profits are not much.
For example, rent.
"We originally chose this place because of its location. It's close to many commercial areas and has a high flow of people. However, this also means that its rent is very expensive. We originally came to Beijing with a large amount of capital, and Chen Anguo and many others were not optimistic about it."
"That old guy even said he wouldn't be able to adapt to the local climate and would definitely return home in disgrace. We were also very dissatisfied! Food knows no borders, after all, it should be universal. But now, except for the first three days of opening, no one has come to the restaurant at other times. We are also very confused and don't know what went wrong."
Yang Tao said this with a little frustration. They had done a lot of preparatory work when they first opened the store, including the taste differences in many things.
Now that setbacks are before them and the foundation of their lives that they are so proud of is being questioned, they are beginning to doubt themselves.
Jian Jianan saw it more clearly: "It's because we are not well-known!"
The Nanbei Hotel is quite famous in Guangdong Province, but this may not be the case in the north.
This is the capital, and there's plenty of delicious food! There are so many other options, why would anyone have to come to your Nanbei Hotel? It doesn't make sense!
Someone whispered, "That's not necessarily true. When our main store first opened, it wasn't well-known either! We built it up one step at a time."
Jian Jianan glanced over sharply. "It's true that the Shenzhen main store wasn't well-known when it opened, but don't forget how many years ago it was! Don't you know how many restaurants there were eight years ago? Forget restaurants, there weren't even that many snack stalls. When the Nanbei Hotel was first established, it became their only choice. Everyone had to come!"
"But, there are countless hotels like this in the capital now. Our Nanbei Hotel has no advantage here at all. Besides, even good wine needs to be known far and wide. We're new here and don't have any other reputation, so it's normal that we're not accepted by everyone!"
Jian Jianan said this and gained the agreement of most people.
But for the time being, no one could think of any other more effective way to break the deadlock, so they had to suspend the meeting.
After the meeting, Jian Jianan walked to Yang Tao and watched Su Qinxuan walk in alone with a worried look on his face.
Yang Tao told her, "Sister Qin has been under a lot of pressure lately. We've encountered setbacks right after arriving. Every day is like burning through endless money. The rent, labor, and other food costs—which one of them doesn't cost money?"
"But money will eventually run out. If we don't make any money, it will be dangerous."
Jian Jianan nodded, that was indeed the truth.
Mom must be worried about this!
Yang Tao was worried: "That's not all! Before heading north, the group split into two factions. One is my sister, and the other is Chen Anguo and his group."
"Chen Anguo and his men are vehemently opposing this expansion plan. They've even made outrageous statements, saying that if Sister Qin's plan fails and she returns to Guangdong in disgrace, they will definitely impeach her!"
Jian Jianan was shocked. He didn't expect things to have come to this point.
Even though Su Qinxuan can still smile and speaks in a normal tone, she is under a lot of pressure!
So now, what method can be used to maximize the popularity of their North-South Hotel?
Jian Jianan and Yang Tao both fell into silence. They both wanted to do their bit to help Su Qinxuan and thought of a way to quickly break the deadlock. At least they had to greatly increase the popularity of their Nanbei Hotel. Even if they didn't say that everyone would flock to it, at least they had to let everyone know that such a hotel existed.
"No, no, my head hurts so much!" Jian Jianan wailed and fell on the table.
Yang Tao was amused. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't asked about her college life since they met, so she asked, "How's it going, Nannan? It's been a few months since the start of this semester. How are you adjusting? If you have any difficulties, please remember to tell your sister Xiao Tao!"
Jian Jianan waved his hand. "Okay, okay, Sister Xiaotao, don't worry. It's not difficult. I've adapted well. My classmates and roommates are all great. Occasionally, there are a few who are so blind, but they are greatly discouraged by my roommates' offensive and don't dare to continue to cause trouble."
Hmm? Listening to what Jian Jianan said, it seems there are still difficulties. What do you mean by occasionally having a few blind people?
Yang Tao wanted to continue asking, but Su Qinxuan came out from the small door. She had just called several key managers of the Beijing branch into the small room for a private talk, and now she was talking to the last person. When she came out, Su Qinxuan could not hide her fatigue and rubbed her forehead with her hand.
Only when she saw her daughter and her capable subordinate smiling and chatting outside did her expression relax a little.
"What's the matter? What are you talking about? You seem so happy."
Jian Jianan and Yang Tao had a tacit understanding. Not wanting to worry Su Qinxuan, who was troubled by other things, she smiled and said, "Nothing much, Sister Xiao Tao was just introducing the local delicacies to me. Mom, you have to keep a close eye on her. I see that she hasn't done much in her career in Beijing, and she hasn't visited many tourist attractions. She's just been looking for delicious places everywhere!"
Yang Tao was also very cooperative. After listening to Jian Jianan's words, she smiled and answered her: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Is there anything I did wrong? I want to ask you, if you don't like it, then why did you listen so carefully when I introduced it to you?"
After saying this, the three women burst into laughter.
Su Qinxuan said to Jian Jianan, "Okay, Nannan, it's been so long, it's time for you to go back to school. Mom will get you a frozen meal from our Nanbei Restaurant. You can just take it home and steam it."
"Okay," Jian Jianan took it and took a ride back to school with Su Qinxuan.
When entering the dormitory, Jian Jianan suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the dormitory was very strange. Specifically, why was no one talking?
When they saw Jian Jianan coming back, everyone asked her what she felt about meeting her family.
Zhang Ye Zi: "You must be homesick after not seeing each other for so long. Nan Nan, did you spend some quality time with your family and have some personal conversations?"
"Yeah, we did have a good conversation."
Jian Jianan raised what he had in his hand and shared some with his roommates: "Everyone come and try it. This is a specialty of my family. My mother specially asked me to bring it back for everyone to try."
What Su Qinxuan asked her daughter to bring back was a plastic bag. The outer packaging was very simple, and it didn't look like it was a product of the Nanbei Hotel at all. After all, they were still in the experimental stage and were still trying to see which flavor was most suitable. Therefore, there was no large-scale production and the packaging was not well designed.
Chen Muya took it, thanked him solemnly, and then looked at this specialty.
It was packaged in a small plastic bag with nothing on the outside, and you could clearly tell it was a handmade product.
Looking at the small plastic bag, Chen Muya couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Jian Jianan. She thought that her roommate was really a good child who knew how to be grateful. Even though he could only see his family once a year, he didn't forget his roommates after meeting them. He even brought local specialties from his hometown to share with them.
Jian Jia Nan Shuangye said brightly: "Dry-fried beef noodles is a specialty of our hometown! I just don't know if it suits your taste. To be honest, I'm a little bit unskilled in making it. Remember to eat it as soon as you receive it. If you wait a few days, I'm worried that it will go bad!"
"By the way, remember to tell me how it tastes after you finish eating. I also need to do some research!"
Just like that, Jian Jianan distributed the specialties, repeatedly told them to eat as soon as possible, and then went to wash up.
But it has to be done as soon as possible. The sooner they eat, the sooner the Jane family can know their evaluation of it. If the evaluation is not good, they can ask their mother to revise it, so that sales can be boosted.
Since the Nanbei Restaurant's cash flow is not good, they can only find another way and see if they can find a way out from these by-products.
While the students in dormitory 302 were happily distributing local specialties, the atmosphere in Liu Huan's dormitory was not so wonderful.
Liu Huan rushed into the dormitory and yelled to his roommates, "Brothers, brothers, hey, hey, brothers! You will never believe what I just saw!"
Liu Huan gestured to everyone, "I saw Jian Jianan actually get into a luxury car straight after leaving the campus, and she was just taken back to school in a luxury car!"
Liu Huan spoke as if he had a huge handle on Jian Jianan, and was extremely excited: "You will never believe what I saw! I really didn't expect it. You can't judge a person by their appearance. This morning, her roommates were desperately defending her in front of us, but she didn't appreciate it at all. Even now, she's doing some shameful things outside!"
"ah!"
"What did you say!"
The other roommates were also very interested. Who could resist gossip? They were especially interested in gossip about their classmates, not to mention that there were even some subtle romances involved. Everyone wanted to see Jian Jianan's righteous image of being the top student in the class being torn down!
Seeing that everyone was very interested, Liu Huan immediately began to tell the story with exaggeration, describing how Jian Jianan got into the luxury car, how he chatted and laughed with the people in the car, and how he was sent back by the same luxury car in the middle of the night. He made the story very interesting, as if he was right next to Jian Jianan or possessed by him and saw it with his own eyes.
Yan Wenxin's ears had become callused from listening to Liu Huan's constant chatter. Now, listening to the three people's excited discussion below, she just flipped through the book and said slowly, "Alright, alright, you all can talk here for three days and three nights and nothing will change. Let me ask you a question, Liu Huan. Even if you saw it with your own eyes, do you have any other evidence?"
Liu Huan gritted his teeth. It was true. Yan Wenxin's words hit the nail on the head. No matter how many times he saw Jian Jianan getting out of the car, he was sure that Jian Jianan was doing something immoral outside. But he had no evidence. Without evidence, no one would believe him!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, his head whirred, and he thought of something. He asked Yan Wenxin actively, "Hey, boss, don't you have a camera? I heard you bought it last year? Can you lend me your camera? Lend it to me for a while. Then I can easily get the evidence."
Yan Wenxin didn't say anything, neither nodded in agreement nor shook her head to refuse, but slowly turned another page of the book, not knowing what she was thinking.
Jian Jianan's college life passed by in a fulfilling manner day by day. When she had classes during the day, she would definitely stay in the classroom and discuss with her group members how to write homework better, get higher scores, and make her GPA look better.
The senior would occasionally come over and show Jian Jianan the latest list of substitute teachers. If there was a course she wanted to learn, Jian Jianan would immediately pack up and go to substitute for the class part-time. Sometimes, she would even be recognized by the substitute teachers.
When there are no classes in the afternoons, evenings or weekends, it is time to spend parent-child time with mom and dad.
It was Friday and there were no classes in the afternoon. After returning from the classroom, everyone took a good nap and did not eat lunch. They slept until three or four o'clock before getting up. The rumbling sounds of stomachs could be heard in the dormitory.
But no one wanted to go out. It was so tiring and far to walk to the cafeteria. Even if they didn’t go to the cafeteria, it was still very far to go to the snack street outside to eat something delicious!
Then someone thought of the specialties that Jian Jianan had given him a few days ago, took them out, found a place, and steamed them in a pot.
Unexpectedly, as the temperature rose higher and higher, the strange fragrance coming out of the bag became stronger and stronger.
First came the barbecued pork buns. At first, they didn’t look very good, with the filling wrapped in the soft bread outside, and you couldn’t tell how delicious it was at all.
However, only after it was actually heated did everyone smell the aroma of the filling.
As soon as they smelled this aroma, those who were still lying in bed suddenly stopped lying in bed and got out of bed to eat bread.
What is this? Barbecued pork bun. Take a bite.
What is this?
What is this? Sticky rice chicken. Take a bite.
Jian Jianan would also patiently teach his roommates to eat glutinous rice chicken with tea to help relieve the greasiness.
Chen Muya ate while looking at Jian Jianan incoherently: "Nannan, your family's cooking skills are so good! This is really delicious! Did your mother make it herself?"
Jian Jianan thought for a moment and said, "I guess so."
Zhang Yezi understood. What it meant was that although it was not made by hand, it was still made by family members. It might be that the female relatives in the family gathered together to help make it.
Chen Muya was so happy: "It's really delicious! If your mother is willing, I would pay for it!"
The glutinous rice chicken was quite filling, and after eating these small pastries, at least they didn’t need to eat dinner.
Jian Jianan was also very happy to hear their praise of his own products. He wondered what flavor his mother had adjusted, but it seemed that everyone liked the current flavor.
As long as it's popular, they won't have to worry about sales.
"Okay, if you like, I'll bring you some next time. I have to go out for something, so you guys continue eating."
Jian Jianan took the things and walked out. Zhang Yezi was worried and asked, "Wait, Nannan, tell us where you are going?"
It’s so late and you still have to go out. The dormitory has a curfew. If you can’t come back, you will have to stay outside for the whole night.
Jian Jianan turned around and told Zhang Yezi, "Don't worry, Dormitory Head! I have something important to attend to, but I will definitely be back before our dormitory closes!"
Zhang Yezi was still worried, "Okay, then tell me what you are going to do and where you are going!"
Jian Jianan turned around, winked at him, smiled playfully, and said two resounding words: "Secret!"
It’s indeed a big secret. I will definitely announce it to you when I finish it!
Jian Jianan just left like that, waving his sleeves without taking a single cloud with him. However, the people in dormitory 302 were somewhat silent because of the recent rumors.
Chen Muya looked at Zhang Ye Zi and Ding Ran, both of whom were a few months older than her and were considered very calm and reliable sisters. At this moment, their faces involuntarily showed concern for Jian Jianan, and there was also a bit of silence that she didn't know how to speak, wanting to comfort him.
She thought about what her parents said when she got into trouble, and then she said, "Okay, okay, the child is grown up and has strong wings, so let her be!"
“…”
What kind of comfort is this? Never mind, let's eat first.
Chen Muya curiously tasted all the specialties that the Jian family brought from the south, and then exclaimed, "Delicious, delicious!"
Chen Muya also followed what Jian Jianan taught her, cutting the steaming hot pineapple bun in half and putting her favorite butter in the middle.
The combination of hot and cold makes the soft bread with wheat aroma melt the cold and solidified butter, soaking every part of the bread. The combination of the two makes the pineapple bun have a supreme taste.
Just when Chen Muya finished a piece of pineapple bun in one gulp, someone from dormitory 302 suddenly came over.
"Hey, why does your dormitory smell so good? Are you eating something?"
The visitor asked this question as soon as he entered the dormitory.
Chen Muya immediately showed off the gift that Jian Jianan gave her.
"This is a snack our Nan Nan gave me! Most people can't even eat it!"
Who knew that as soon as Chen Muya said this, it was as if a switch was turned on. The man immediately frowned and sighed, looking at Chen Muya with an expression as if he had suffered an unexpected blow.
"Hey you, how can you eat the things she gave you?"
Chen Muya's eyebrows immediately twisted, "What do you mean, why should I be worried about eating the snacks that Nan Nan sent me?"
"Uh... uh, that's not what I meant..."
Chen Muya blew his beard and glared: "Then what do you mean?!"
The man observed the surrounding movements and confirmed that the central figure of the topic was not in the dormitory before he whispered, "That's it, that's who. Your roommate, the one called Jian Jianan, isn't he doing some shady work outside? A lot of people know about it, and everyone is secretly spreading it behind his back."
"If you ask me, you guys should be careful too. Otherwise, it would be bad if you were to get caught up in her bad habits. And who knows who she might mess with outside of school, and then the whole dorm would be implicated. Oh my, oh my, the consequences of this matter are enough to make me panic!"
Chen Muya was stunned. Zhang Yezi immediately displayed her big sister demeanor, getting off the bed and standing on the ground, using her height to suppress the gossiper: "What are you talking about? Putting aside the fact that everything you said before was just rumors, which eye did you see our Nan Nan entangled with some other external forces? Didn't you also hear rumors? Only people like you would take those unverified words seriously!"
The man immediately protested, "I'm not just talking nonsense! I'm not the only one who knows about this. Everyone's saying it! If you had time to go out and listen, you'd be able to find out more!"
"I'm here to give you this information out of kindness, but I'm telling you, don't be ungrateful! Otherwise, you won't know when she'll get you into trouble!
Ding Ran pouted at him, "Do you need your kindness to remind us? I don't think you're doing this out of kindness, you're just here to make fun of us! You say you're kind, but I'm telling you right now that we don't need your kindness!"
Chen Muya, who finally reacted, immediately joined the fight. She was a bit more aggressive and not as civilized as her other roommates. She believed in using words instead of fists, so she was still arguing with the man but did not resort to physical combat.
Chen Muya directly started pushing the other person, trying to kick him out of the dormitory. "Oh my God, please shut up! The more you talk, the more your ignorance is exposed! It's really hard to say what you mean. You're the only one who's kind enough to remind me. I think you just want to watch the fun! The more chaos we have here, the happier you are, right?"
How could that person possibly admit it? Of course, he kept denying it: "No, no, no, no, no, how could I think that! I absolutely don't have such thoughts in my heart. Believe me, we are all classmates and friends who live together. I definitely want the best for everyone..."
Chen Muya didn't want to hear a word, so she slammed the door shut and locked the man out.
Chen Muya leaned against the door with her back to him and said to her two roommates, "No matter how this rumor got out, it seems to be getting more and more outrageous. I don't know what the final outcome will be. I think it's better for us to pick a time to talk to Nan Nan about it so that she can be mentally prepared."
"OK."
"I think it's okay. We've always been there to protect her, but it hasn't been effective. The person involved needs to be mentally prepared for this."
When Jian Jiannan arrived at the school gate, he noticed something was different today. Usually, if there was only one car, it would be either his mother Su Qinxuan or his father Jian Yangping.
But today, there are indeed two cars. Are mom and dad coming together?
A Shanghai brand car and a Toyota. The two cars were very close to each other, one in front and one behind, and the owners of the cars were chatting shoulder to shoulder.
The expressions on their faces were so warm and interesting, but the next second after Jian Jianan appeared, it was as if a switch was triggered and their faces suddenly changed.
First, mother Su Qinxuan vigorously shook her daughter's arm, "Nannan, you're finally out of school! Come here, come to your mother. We haven't spoken to each other for a long time. Later, we have to go to the Nanbei Restaurant and have a good talk."
Unexpectedly, Jian Yangping took over the conversation just after he finished speaking. No, it would be better to say that he snatched it away rather than took it over.
Jian Yangping interrupted his wife and said to his daughter, "Oh, Nannan, it's been a long time since we last met. You've been busy running around at Mom's place lately. Now that the Nanbei Restaurant is open, everything is on track. Daddy thinks there isn't much work there that needs your help, right? In that case, why don't you come over and take a good look at Shenya Clothing? We just moved to Beijing and have a lot of things to do. Without you, none of this would be possible!"
Jian Jianan was stunned by the scene before him.
What's going on? Did Mom and Dad almost come to blows over who should go where? It really looks like that's what's going on!
Su Qinxuan wanted her daughter to follow her to Nanbei Group, and her reasons were very good: "Nannan has been busy with the opening of the new store for a while now. Now that she's encountered a little difficulty, she's definitely needed by her side. As a newcomer to Shenya Clothing, you must have a lot of things to do. Why not wait until you've sorted out the other paperwork before trying to compete with me for her!"
Jian Yangping wanted his daughter to go with him to Shenya Clothing, and his reasons were even more convincing than Su Qinxuan's: "I won't! Ever since we arrived in Beijing, you've been treating Nannan like your own daughter. You find out her free time every day in advance, and drive to pick her up as soon as she's free after class. You just don't want me to have any contact with her! Humph, I already completed all the paperwork for Shenya Clothing a while ago. Nannan is now with me, and we can get down to business right away!"
Neither of them was willing to give in, and it looked like they were going to continue arguing. In desperation, Jian Jianan had to step in and mediate personally.
"How about this, Mom and Dad, you two stop arguing! I have a clever trick that's guaranteed to solve this problem right away, so you don't have to argue anymore!"
After hearing what their daughter said, the two parents finally stopped arguing and pricked up their ears to wait for their daughter's next words.
"How about this? I'll go to the Nanbei Restaurant on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I'll go to Shenya Clothing. In short, seven days a week, I'll go to Mom's on odd days, and Dad's on even days. How's that? It's fair to everyone, right?"

Jian Jianan's method finally received the nod of approval from both parents. Su Qinxuan took her daughter away with a smile: "Okay, okay, this method is very good. Since we all agree, let's start from today."
Today is Wednesday, which is the day when Jian Jianan should go to the Nanbei Restaurant.
No matter how helpless Jian Yangping was, no matter how much he objected, he couldn't stop them. He could only stand there and watch the mother and daughter leave in frustration. He stamped his foot in frustration, wondering why he had chosen Wednesday to come.
In a small corner unknown to the family of three, a raised camera captured the scene of Jian Jianan opening the door of a car and about to get in.
The camera owner poked his head out from behind and muttered to himself, "I caught you, hahahaha. You're tangling with two luxury car owners, and you still think your relationship is innocent? I want to see how you behave when I expose this all."
After getting in the car, Jian Jianan was not idle either. She looked at her mother's frown and said to her, "By the way, Mom, didn't you talk about that matter of increasing the popularity before? I have some ideas now."
