Wang Xinqian made up her mind,
she absolutely must meet Zheng Xinxin's boyfriend.
"Ding dong..."
Her phone rang.
Opening it, she saw a message from Wei Qiang.
"Qianqian, give me three more days,
I'll definitely borrow the money to buy you that bag."
"You promised to be my girlfriend, you can't go back on your word."
Upon seeing Wei Qiang's message.
Wang Xinqian immediately felt a sense of emptiness.
She even had the urge to kick Wei Qiang aside.
Now, that handbag,
truly held no appeal for her anymore.
Angrily, she pulled the covers over her head.
Placed her phone under the pillow,
and simply didn't reply to his message.
...
Yun Zhirou's heart was not at peace.
Ever since she learned that Ye Qing had bought a house for Zheng Xinxin.
Her heart felt as if it were being scratched by a cat.
After much hesitation.
She sent Ye Qing a friend request once again.
This time, no matter the cost,
she was determined to make Ye Qing fall for her.
Because Ye Qing was worth it.
Ye Qing, staying in the dormitory,
hadn't been in contact with Zheng Xinxin these past few days.
He realized that most of the money he needed to spend had already been spent.
He couldn't figure out how else to spend money on Zheng Xinxin?
If he didn't spend money, he really didn't want to face this woman.
Her looks were too ordinary, with a system rating of only fifty points.
One could only say she was somewhat plain, even bordering on unattractive.
Ye Qing didn't want to face such a woman.
So he could only hole up in the dormitory.
"Ding dong!"
His phone vibrated.
Ye Qing picked it up and saw it was a friend request.
"Yun Zhirou?"
"This woman?"
"She's really persistent."
"I'll let her wait for a bit."
Ye Qing picked up his phone and tapped a few times.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Not long after.
A phone call came in.
"Son, what's going on?"
"How did an extra 200,000 yuan appear in our bank card?"
Ye Qing chuckled.
"It's nothing, Mom. I made some money from stock trading, didn't I?"
"I wanted to show my filial piety to you and Dad."
"Stock trading?"
"Son, I've heard that's risky."
"You could easily lose money."
"Oh, Mom, isn't my major in economics?"
"Don't worry, I've already found a way to make money."
"Our family will definitely become wealthier in the future."
"Take this money for now."
"I'll transfer more to you later."
"Alright, we'll save this money for you first,
for your future marriage."
Ye Qing rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Perhaps all parents are like this.
He came from a rural background, with a farming family.
Getting into Jiangcheng University was like a golden phoenix rising from a chicken coop.
But it was only after entering university that he realized.
Many things aren't just about academic excellence.
Social etiquette.
Connections and networks.
All sorts of things need to be balanced.
Turning one's life around is no easy feat.
The current job market isn't great either.
If it weren't for the system,
he might never have earned ten million in his lifetime.
After sending some money to his parents, he finally felt a bit more at ease.
Whether his parents saved the money,
or used it for something else,
having some money in hand would give them some confidence.
Later, he could send them more money gradually.
They would surely start spending it then.
"Now that I have money, shouldn't I enjoy life a bit?"
Thinking of Yun Zhirou's charming appearance,
Ye Qing couldn't help but feel a bit restless.
Yun Zhirou had already swallowed her pride and set aside some dignity.
She thought that with her second application,
Ye Qing should accept it,
but after waiting just three hours,
there was still no reply from him.
"What does Ye Qing mean?"
"Does he really look down on me that much?"
"How infuriating, truly infuriating."
Yun Zhirou had never suffered such a humiliating insult before.
As the campus belle of the Foreign Languages College, how many people pursued her?
She had never been this proactive before.
Yet Ye Qing completely ignored her.
Yun Zhirou's confidence took another huge blow.
...
Lying in bed, Ye Qing drifted off to sleep.
He woke up at six o'clock.
Ye Qing opened his phone,
and only then did he accept the other's friend request.
Yun Zhirou was in a daze when her phone suddenly vibrated.
She jolted awake abruptly.
She quickly took out her phone.
"He accepted it. He actually accepted my friend request."
Yun Zhirou's face was full of delight, as if she had received a great blessing.
"But how should I greet him?"
"Are you there?"
"Isn't that a bit old-fashioned?"
"Can we have dinner together tonight?"
"Isn't that too direct?"
Yun Zhirou started to feel conflicted again.
...
Ye Qing had thought the woman would reply to him soon.
But after waiting for a while,
there was still no message,
so he simply went to the restroom.
"Ding dong..."
A phone notification.
Ye Qing opened it to look.
It was actually from Zheng Xinxin.
[Ye Qing, are you free tonight?]
[What's up?]
[A good friend of mine wants to meet you.]
Ye Qing hesitated for a moment.
[I have something on tonight.]
If he wasn't going to spend money for cashback, Ye Qing preferred not to see Zheng Xinxin.
Zheng Xinxin was also taken aback.
Ever since meeting Ye Qing, she always thought he was very, very idle.
Only now did she remember that rich people are probably all very busy.
It was quite normal for Ye Qing to be busy, and she understood completely.
[Then let's arrange another day.]
[Okay]
Their conversation ended hastily.
"Ding dong..."
The phone's notification sound rang again.
"Is it a message from Yun Zhirou?"
[Hello, Ye Qing. Nice to meet you.]
Ye Qing frowned.
"This woman is being a bit too formal."
Recalling the woman's delicate face and impressive figure,
Ye Qing couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart, so he replied directly and straightforwardly.
[Are you free tonight? Let's go out for dinner.]
...
Yun Zhirou was stunned when she saw Ye Qing's reply.
"Doesn't this man know how to be a bit more reserved?"
"He's asking me out so directly?"
"Should I agree? Or should I not?"
Yun Zhirou once again found herself tangled in indecision.
Finally, she gritted her teeth.
"Haven't I been waiting all these days just for this opportunity?"
"I must seize this chance to make Ye Qing fall for me."
"Okay, no problem."
After receiving the reply,
the two agreed to meet at the school gate at seven o'clock.
Yun Zhirou excitedly clenched her fist,
her eyes filled with burning ambition.
She quickly got out of bed and freshened up.
Then she sat at the table and applied light makeup.
She kept rummaging through the closet for clothes.
She wanted to present her best self,
with the most exquisite makeup and the most beautiful outfit, to face Ye Qing.
