743 -314: Summer and Winter Vacation – The Time for Labor Service Companies to Make Money
Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan still argue when they meet, but because of Zhou Yuwen being there to keep things in check, the two inadvertently maintain a balance.
Zheng Yanyan usually speaks a bit coyly to Zhou Yuwen, but not in an affected way.
After Su Qing is around, she becomes deliberately coquettish.
Intentionally clinging to Zhou Yuwen, she utters some overly affectionate words.
She even goes as far as to rest her legs, wrapped in black tights, on Zhou Yuwen’s legs in front of Su Qing.
Seeing this, Su Qing would surely be unhappy, protesting, “Why do you get to put your legs on Zhou Yuwen’s?
You’re not even his girlfriend anymore, take them off.”
But Zheng Yanyan, in a manner looking to infuriate her, retorts, “I like it, Zhou Yuwen doesn’t mind, why do you have the right to?”
“Take them off now.”
The two girls bicker like children, with Su Qing attempting to push Zheng Yanyan’s legs off Zhou Yuwen’s.
And Zheng Yanyan pouts, refusing with a petulant “No, I won’t!”
Su Qing keeps saying, “You’re not Zhou Yuwen’s girlfriend anymore.”
Zheng Yanyan snaps back, “Well, I’m still Zhou Yuwen’s ex-girlfriend, which is way better than being his ex-ex-girlfriend like you!”
They continue exchanging barbs like this.
Although they aren’t loud, thankfully not bothering others, this place is still a library after all.
The two of them vie for Zhou Yuwen’s attention, whether or not others are affected.
But Shen Yu, sitting at the same table, is definitely disturbed.
Feeling awkward, Shen Yu thinks to herself, “Guys, seriously, I’m here to study.”
And wonders why she feels so redundant in this situation…
Faced with such a situation, of course, Zhou Yuwen doesn’t spare either of them.
He flicks a coin on each of their foreheads.
Both sporting red marks and holding their little heads, looking pitiful, yet neither willing to admit they’re wrong, they start mocking each other instead.
Zhou Yuwen can’t help but cough to interject, “Ahem, shouldn’t you both know when to stop?”
This is a library after all, people are here to study.
If you don’t study, at least allow others to.
“Hmph!”
Neither of them is willing to concede to the other.
Zhou Yuwen had planned to spend a week studying in the library, but these two women turned every day into a competition for his attention.
On top of that, there’s the busyness of company matters, with Jiang Xinyi calling Zhou Yuwen several times a day, and a host of issues at the culture company as well.
Zhou Yuwen handles one phone call after another, and turning to see Su Qing seemingly without a care, he asks in surprise, “Don’t you have any events to plan on your end?”
“Of course, but I’ve delegated it all to my team,” says Su Qing smugly.
Zhou Yuwen is somewhat astonished: “Well done, you really know how to delegate.”
“Hmph~” Su Qing beams, fishing for praise.
And Shen Yu, with genuine admiration, says, “Our student council is already working half for Su Qing, it’s so tempting that even I’m considering it.”
Talking about half might be an exaggeration, but there certainly is a quarter of the students involved.
Zhou Yuwen in his past life didn’t really mix in student circles, so his acquaintances were limited, while Su Qing was already in the student council then, knowing a group of girls, among them were those with management and artistic talents, and natural hosts and presenters.
Without Zhou Yuwen acting as a platform.
They might have only been picking up part-time work elsewhere.
But with Zhou Yuwen’s platform, they can show their full potential, and Su Qing makes the most out of them, further solidifying her position in the student council.
The first semester isn’t even over yet.
And Su Qing has already become the popular candidate for next term’s student council president.
Shen Yu’s voice carries a deep sense of loss.
Speaking of this, Zhou Yuwen feels that he does owe Shen Yu an apology.
In the past, Shen Yu was the council president.
However, Zhou Yuwen wouldn’t be foolish enough to side with outsiders against his own ex-wife.
He does say a few words to Shen Yu, asking if she is interested in working at the company.
But Shen Yu refuses for reasons unknown, saying she wants to focus exclusively on her studies.
As the end of the semester approaches, the library is full, but to be honest, there’s quite a difference between libraries from various schools.
Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi have visited the Nanjing University library, which is truly very quiet; a horde of students doing nothing but burying themselves in their studies.
While Zhou Yuwen’s university library is somewhat lacking in comparison.
It too is packed, but with a cacophony of noise.
At the library, Zhou Yuwen has encountered many acquaintances.
Not to mention those he met at the start of school doing campus card registrations.
There are many from his class as well.
Gu Yaoyao and her dorm mates don’t come over to say hi but Ma Tian and Li Jing, the gossiping duo, after spotting Zhou Yuwen seated amid a group of girls, can’t resist discussing a bit.
They wonder, isn’t that girl Zhou Yuwen’s ex-girlfriend?
How is she still friends with him?
And Li Qiang, sitting with Ma Tian and Li Jing, laughs and says, “Isn’t that obvious?
Who said you can’t be friends after breaking up?
Right, Brother Hao?”
Well, a place like the library, at the end of the term, most students will go and sit there for at least a day.
Of course, Chang Hao, having learned that Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan are there, decides he won’t come tomorrow.
He was beaten up by people sent by Xu Wenbo not long ago, and although the case reached the police, it fizzled out without consequence.
The beating was quite severe; how to describe the specifics is difficult, but after that beating, Chang Hao became even more reticent.
