Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 448 Going to work is terrifying

The two were having a pleasant conversation, but Lu Yuanqiu couldn't get a word in edgewise.

He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, his eyes revealing surprise and embarrassment hidden behind his hand.

Are my eldest and second uncles coming? Or is only one of them coming?
Then why did they have to drag me along... No, it's not normal for them to come to Zhucheng, so they should take this opportunity to bring me to the company to officially meet the employees.

Just as he was thinking this, Lu Yuanqiu's phone rang. He picked it up and was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he almost choked on the food in his mouth.

Speak of the devil and he appears! It's my uncle.

"...You guys chat, I'll take this call."

Lu Yuanqiu chuckled awkwardly, quickly wiped his mouth, covered his phone, and got up to walk in one direction.

"He even avoids people when answering the phone," Zhong Jincheng muttered.

Having apparently finished her work, Chu Lan simply sat down at the dining table. She placed her notebook on the table, picked up a pen, and wrote something. Seeing this, Zhong Jincheng handed her an unopened bottle of cola: "Senior, have some cola."

"Okay, thank you. I'll treat you all to dinner another day."

Chu Lan looked up and smiled, then suddenly couldn't help but ask curiously, "You two are quite destined for each other. I remember you were in the same class, right? You both ended up at the same school."

"Hehe, when we were filling out college applications, a few friends and I discussed it, and our scores happened to be quite similar."

"It's rare to see top students getting along so well... Hey, senior, are you dating anyone yet?"

Chu Lan put down her pen and asked Zhong Jincheng with a smile. The room wasn't stuffy, but Zhong Jincheng's cheeks started to burn. He scratched his head, and someone's face involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"No..."

"What about you, senior? I remember you're still single, right?" Zhong Jincheng took the initiative.

Chu Lan closed the notebook and sighed, "I'm single. I'm so tired from work, how can I have time to find a partner? I don't even get enough sleep every day."

"What was that saying again?" Chu Lan raised his head, his expression suddenly becoming serious.
"I thought graduation would mean I'd already sailed past countless mountains, but it turns out it's like the Wumeng Mountains stretching to the next..."

"Sigh, I'm even thinking of just spreading my legs and becoming a rich second-generation's mistress. I'd be content if he just gave me some pocket money every day."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Jincheng cursed inwardly, "That rich kid deserves to die."

Chu Lan turned to Zhong Jincheng and said, "Our company's future heir is the same age as you and also studies at Zhuhai University. Do you think he would like someone like me, his senior?"

After laughing, she tossed her hair, glanced sideways at Zhong Jincheng, and showed off her charm.

In the past, Zhong Jincheng might have offered a small token of respect, but now his mind is completely filled with someone else, and any token of respect he offers is for her.

Moreover, Chu Lan looks a bit haggard now, completely unlike when I last saw her in high school, when she was full of collagen.

I've only been working for a year...

"Don't think like that, senior. Those rich kids are all spendthrifts. They're not good enough for you. This heir you're talking about probably already has three or four girlfriends at school," Zhong Jincheng advised.

"Haha, I know, I was just joking. Actually, I've cursed this heir a hundred and eighty times in my heart. If it weren't for him going to Zhuhai University, I wouldn't have been coming to Zhuhai University every day to check on the work. The boss said something like, 'It doesn't matter if other school cafeterias are fine, but the cafeteria at Zhuhai University must make sure the young master eats comfortably.' I'm sick of hearing that face."

Chu Lan gritted her teeth in resentment.

After she finished speaking, she looked up and found Lu Yuanqiu standing blankly by the table, holding his phone.

"Have you finished the call?" Chu Lan asked.

Lu Yuanqiu hummed in agreement, sat back down in his seat, and began eating. *Then all your hard work has been for nothing. The prince you mentioned has been eating at the Human World Cafeteria almost every semester, not even at the "public" cafeteria...* Lu Yuanqiu muttered to himself.

My uncle just called about going to the company this Saturday. But I also need to go to the event building this Saturday to draw lots for the New Year's Eve party. I'll have Fingel and the other three go.

"You guys eat, I'm leaving now, I have to go back to the company to continue my work." Chu Lan picked up her notebook and stood up.

Zhong Jincheng, sitting in his seat, raised his right fist to cheer her on: "Go all out! Curse that heir until he's half-paralyzed!"

Chu Lan turned around and echoed, "Hahaha! Yes, that way I can rest more!"

Lu Yuanqiu found the food rather bland.

Zhong Jincheng muttered to himself, "Senior Chu Lan is quite optimistic, but she feels completely different from when we last met. Is this what it's like for an adult tormented by work?"

Lu Yuanqiu shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.

Zhong Jincheng asked curiously, "I remember she and Senior Qin Luo were a couple, weren't they?"

Lu Yuanqiu responded, "It's probably a relationship of unrequited love and being unrequitedly loved. Senior Qin Luo is too honest. Senior Chu Lan probably knows his feelings, but... tsk, feelings are such a complicated thing, you can't really explain it~"

In the past, Zhong Jincheng might have retorted with "Pretending to be profound again" when he heard Lu Yuanqiu say such things, but now he wouldn't.

"Ugh, going to work is terrifying. I think I should cherish my campus life."

Zhong Jincheng only muttered this sentence.

Zheng Yifeng walked in from the cafeteria entrance at this moment. The two turned their heads and found that the expressionless man seemed to be in a good mood.

What's making this seemingly reserved guy happy again?
Tuesday, December 6th, classroom 303.

There were no classes in the afternoon, but Bai Qingxia still dragged Lu Yuanqiu to the classroom.

The classroom was empty. In this weather, students would rather stay in bed than attend classes. Tomorrow is the "Major Snow" solar term, and the temperature in Zhucheng seems to be dropping to five or six degrees Celsius.

Bai Qingxia closed the classroom door and windows, and when she turned around, she suddenly noticed that Lu Yuanqiu looked flustered.

"Should we do it in the classroom? No... isn't that a bit inappropriate? Just the two of us? What if someone knocks on the door?" Lu Yuanqiu asked nervously.

"That's a strange question..." Bai Qingxia pointed behind her with her little finger and replied calmly, "Then I'll go drive it."

Lu Yuanqiu scratched his nose and said "Oh".

The two sat in their seats. Bai Qingxia had brought many textbooks for the professional courses she would be taking in the final exams. She took out her textbook and started flipping through the pages from the first one: "Look at mine. Underline all the important points. If you don't pay attention in class, what will you do if you fail the final exams?"

"You're so fierce," Lu Yuanqiu said, frowning.

Bai Qingxia stared at him, speechless for a few seconds, then decided to be stern and said in a serious tone, "Open it."

Lu Yuanqiu pouted, feeling wronged. She opened her textbook, picked up a pen, and began to underline important points in her own textbook.

"Finger said the exam content was all memorization and didn't require much brainpower, so I didn't pay much attention."

"But there's a lot to memorize. A senior clinical student on the forum said that those who don't pay attention in class almost all have to start memorizing a month before the final exam."

"Oh, you've even learned how to browse Tieba now?" Lu Yuanqiu said with a smile.

Bai Qingxia: "..."
