The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 114 Soft-hearted
After eating hot pot, it was already past two o'clock.

When it was time to pay the bill, Zhong Yun paid. He probably guessed Xia Siyin's mentality. She probably wanted to put aside her identity as President Xia today and experience life like an ordinary person.

Then he must cooperate.

If a pretty girl like her goes out with a guy, it must be the guy who pays.

Anyway, she will definitely reimburse the money later.

It’s quite nice to follow a generous boss.

"Where to go next?"

When they were leaving, Xia Siyin naturally took his hand, and after hearing what he said, she said, "Let's go to the movies."

See a movie?
Zhong Yun felt something was wrong and couldn't help but look at her.

Asking him to accompany you on the subway, to visit an orphanage, to have a meal together, to go shopping...these all make sense.

Watching a movie together, that's a bit weird, right?
What serious boss would ask a subordinate of the opposite sex to go to the movies alone?

Could it be that she has a crush on me?

A bold idea came to Zhong Yun's mind, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

No wonder he realized it late.

Before this, he would never have thought in that direction.

Before he was 20, he often felt that a girl liked him and his self-confidence was overflowing.

After he turned 20, he dropped out of school to start a business, and then he realized that in this society, unless you are handsome enough to make a living, otherwise, you are useless.

People nowadays are so realistic. Others look at your job, your family background, whether you have a house or a car, and how much you earn...

She is a young, beautiful woman with such good conditions. Why would she like you for no reason? Do you really think you are Daniel Wu?

So what if Shi Xiuya liked him so much at the beginning? After a few years, once he went bankrupt, he was still so heartless.

This time Tang Qianqian came back to find him, it was most likely not because she loved him, but a decision made after weighing the pros and cons. After seeing the prosperity of big cities and being hurt by men, she thought of the regrets of the past and it was just nostalgia.

He himself was the same, after going through so much, he had long since become indifferent. If he wanted to say he liked pretty girls, he liked them all, but it was just like that, he could never find that strong, desperate, and irresistible impulse again.

"Maybe I think too much."

Zhong Yun said to himself in his heart, don't be too self-indulgent. What if it's not true and it turns out to be a misunderstanding? It would be too embarrassing and he wouldn't know how to face her in the future.

So, he decided to pretend that the thought had never occurred to him.

……

Zhong Yun discovered that watching a movie with President Xia was really just watching a movie.

She didn't drink or eat popcorn. After finding a seat and sitting down, she kept her attention on the big screen and didn't chat with him.

It's just that this movie is a bit boring.

After watching the first five minutes, he knew that he would waste ninety minutes here today.

Although it is not a bad movie, it is extremely mediocre. You can guess the latter part after watching the former part, and some of the plots are a bit awkward.

Zhong Yun watched and complained in his heart.

There are not many people in the cinema, just concentrated in the middle circle, which is the best viewing area.

Suddenly, he noticed a couple in front of him hugging each other and eating. He subconsciously glanced at Ms. Xia next to him, and finally felt relieved when he saw that she didn't react at all.

"I must be overthinking it. She just wanted to watch a movie."

Zhong Yun felt at peace.

……

Finally, the movie is over.

Zhong Yun and Xia Siyin left together. It was already past four o'clock.

He asked, “Where to next?”

Xia Siyin still held his hand and suddenly said, "This movie is poorly made and the story logic is confusing. How can such a movie be released?"

"..."

It was the first time that Zhong Yun heard a girl talk to him about movies. He said, "In fact, most movies are very average. After all, there are only a few quality ones. It's good to have one or two a year."

Xia Siyin shook her head and didn't continue talking about the movie. She felt that it would be a waste of time to talk about it further.

The two of them went down the escalator and soon reached the first floor of the mall.

She suddenly asked, "Do you have any friends?"

"Have."

After Zhong Yun finished speaking, he realized that she had entered the chat mode again, so he asked back, "What about you?"

"No."

This is not surprising at all.

With Mr. Xia's personality, it would be strange if he had any friends.

Xia Siyin said, "Take me to meet your friend."

No, Mr. Xia, can we have a little sense of boundaries?
You are my boss, what's the matter with you going to meet my friend?

……

In a private room of a restaurant.

Gao Yutao felt a little awkward sitting with ten other people.

Today is a reunion for their college classmates who stayed in this city. Zhu Tongtong is also there, and she brought Xu Mingyue with her.

If it weren't for Jin Hui's sake, he wouldn't have come.

Jin Hui was the classmate with whom he had the best relationship during their four years in college, except for Zhong Yun. Later, he went to the capital to study for a master's degree and was recently transferred back.

This gathering was also organized by Jinhui.

Fortunately, the most annoying He Yiyang didn't come, otherwise he would have just found an excuse to leave. "Who is that beautiful girl?"

"Xu Mingyue from the next class."

"Oh, I remember, Zhong Yun's girlfriend, right?"

"Yes, that's her."

……

When Jin Hui heard someone mention Zhong Yun, he asked curiously, "By the way, speaking of Zhong Yun, does anyone know what he is doing now? I asked a lot of people, but no one knows anything about him."

At that time, his grades were among the best in the class, and only Zhong Yun could compete with him for the first place. When Zhong Yun applied for a leave of absence, he felt it was a pity.

Zhu Tongtong snorted coldly and said, "You should ask Gao Yutao about this. Wasn't he the one with the best relationship with that guy in the past?"

Anyone could tell that she was being a bit sarcastic.

Jin Hui looked at Gao Yutao, "Old Gao, do you know?"

Gao Yutao said, "Yes, I have contact with him."

"Where is he now?"

“In this city, too.”

"Then why don't you call him over too?"

Gao Yutao said, "He was busy with work. I called him, but he said he didn't have time."

Zhu Tongtong said sarcastically, "Isn't he a driver for someone? He has to work overtime even on weekends? It's really miserable. He is treated like a beast of burden."

Xu Mingyue, who was sitting next to her, pushed her from below and told her not to speak so harshly.

Gao Yutao got angry when he heard this and said to her, "What's wrong with being a driver? You earn money with your own ability. Just because you work in a bank, you think you are superior to others? Aren't you just a beast of burden?"

Zhu Tongtong glared at him, "I just look down on him, what's wrong with that? He is not a man."

"do not talk."

Xu Mingyue felt somewhat embarrassed when she heard her say that.

Jin Hui, who was sitting next to Gao Yutao, also advised him not to quarrel, as it was a rare occasion for them to meet each other, so he should not ruin the relationship.

He was furious. He originally didn't want to argue with Zhu Tongtong, but who knew she would dare to play tricks on Zhong Yun.

His mother must have been blind to want to pursue her. With her values, if he really married her, wouldn't she bring disaster to his family?
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was Zhong Yun calling.

This guy rarely calls him, it's just a coincidence that he called him now.

Jin Hui, who was standing next to him, saw the caller ID and said, "It must be Zhong Yun calling, answer it quickly. Ask him if he has time now and come over now."

Gao Yutao picked up the phone, "Hello - I'm eating outside -"

He paused, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "Well, there are others, some old classmates - are you sure?"

"Okay, I'll send you the location."

After hanging up the phone, he said, "Zhong Yun said he will come over soon."

Jin Hui was very happy and said, "That's great. I haven't seen him for so many years, and I miss him a lot."

Zhu Tongtong said sarcastically, "Didn't he say he was busy? How come he's free all of a sudden?"

Gao Yutao was too lazy to pay attention to her and didn't bother to argue with her.

In fact, he didn't tell Zhong Yun at all.

Zhong Yun never attended such gatherings of college classmates. After all, he dropped out of school after only one year, and now he is not doing well, so it is normal that he does not want to see his college classmates.

There were two such gatherings before, and he told Zhong Yun about them, but Zhong Yun was unwilling to come. Later, he stopped mentioning them.

Just now, he said he wanted to have dinner with his old classmates, but Zhong Yun still said he wanted to come over.

There seems to be a woman's voice on the phone. What's going on with this guy?
At this time, everyone's topic naturally turned to Zhong Yun.

"Now, Zhong Yun is working as a driver for someone else?"

"I remember he used to have good grades and even got a scholarship. How come he suddenly dropped out? It's a pity."

"Yes, I finally got into college and I'm doing well. Why would you drop out?"

"Yutao, do you know?"

……

Gao Yutao listened to their discussions and felt a little worried. When Zhong Yun came, would he be able to withstand their strange looks?

They didn't ask these questions with complete malice, but Zhong Yun had a strong sense of self-esteem and probably couldn't stand other people's sympathy.

……

On the other side, Zhong Yun and Xia Siyin were sitting in an online car-hailing vehicle, heading to where Gao Yutao was having dinner.

Just now, Xia Siyin said she wanted to meet his friend, and he refused in his heart. However, when he thought that she didn't even have a friend, he softened his heart and agreed.

He knew that he was still affected unconsciously.

Just like he couldn't bear to reject Meng Jiaen.

Although Ms. Xia had a strange personality, as a boss, she was actually very good to him. Sometimes, he even felt that she was quite dependent on him.

Ms. Xia is usually an icy female vice president in the company, but in private, she is a socially anxious person. In crowded places, she has to hold his hand before she dares to leave.

This strong contrast makes it difficult for Zhong Yun to simply regard her as a boss.

He could see that Xia Siyin tried very hard to treat him as a friend today, including taking the subway with him, visiting the orphanage where she used to live, eating hot pot together, and watching movies together...

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with taking her to meet her friends.
