My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Ke Renyi didn't even glance at the bank card on the table, his sarcasm growing stronger. "Take your money and get lost."

Before Nanfeng could get angry, Cao Lian spoke up first, "Mr. Nan, Ms. Zhou, if you continue to cause trouble, I will call security to ask you to leave."

"As a public figure, if Mr. Nan is forcibly kicked out of Xiabei, I'm sure your name will appear on the trending topics list tomorrow."

These words struck Nanfeng's weak spot.

Zhou Yi sighed inwardly and pulled Nanfeng outside.

After leaving the office, Nanfeng vented her anger on Zhou Yi, berating her harshly, "As an assistant, why didn't you speak up for her inside? Is this how you act as an assistant?"

Zhou Yi didn't refute, letting Nanfeng continue scolding.

Nanfeng continued cursing for several minutes, until his throat was dry, before finally stopping. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"what did I say?"

Zhou Yi released Nanfeng's arm, her previous obedience turning into indifference, her voice filled with a faint sigh.

Little did she know, her appearance only made Nanfeng angrier. He pointed at her nose and yelled, "What do you mean, 'What did you say?' From today onwards, you're fired from this assistant position."

"it is good."

Zhou Yi nodded in agreement.

This reaction surprised Nanfeng greatly. She stared at Zhou Yi in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Zhou Yi raised her head, looking at the man in front of her who felt both familiar and unfamiliar, her eyes welling up with tears. "I said okay."

As she spoke, a tear rolled down her cheek. "After I go back, I will pack my things and leave. You can do whatever you want from now on. You can create a CP (couple pairing) with whomever you want. I won't say anything more."

Nanfeng frowned deeply. "Are you crazy?"

"Am I crazy?"

Zhou Yi wiped away her tears, stared at Nan Feng for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed, "Just think of me as crazy."

She pointed to the stairwell at the end of the corridor. "Now, please go down and wait. I'll discuss it with Principal Ke. I can't guarantee the outcome, but I will do my best."

"you……"

Nanfeng was about to speak, but Zhou Yi didn't give him a chance and turned to enter Ke Renyi's office.

When Ke Renyi saw Zhou Yi returning, he was quite surprised. "Why is Miss Zhou back again?"

Zhou Yi smiled apologetically, "Principal Ke, Nanfeng was too impulsive just now and said a lot of things he shouldn't have. Please forgive him if he offended you."

The moment she uttered those words, she did something that left Ke Renyi and Cao Lian speechless: she knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Principal Ke, I apologize to you on behalf of Nanfeng."

Chapter 486 Love is the only thing that's hard to understand

In the office, Ke Renyi and Cao Lian looked at each other in bewilderment.

The two were completely taken aback by Zhou Yi's actions. After a brief moment of surprise, they quickly stepped forward to help Zhou Yi up.

Cao Lian was relatively close to Zhou Yi, but before Cao Lian could do anything, Zhou Yi's voice rang out again, "Principal Ke, please, give Nanfeng a chance."

Ke Renyi paused, looking at Zhou Yi kneeling on the ground with a complicated expression. "Why are you doing this?"

Although Zhou Yi didn't say anything just now, Ke Renyi had lived for so many years and seen all sorts of things. He could tell at a glance that there was a problem of male dominance and female subordination between Nanfeng and Zhou Yi.

Liking is mutual, and love is equal.

When love makes a person subservient, that love has become corrupted.

Love that has gone bad will only bring endless harm and will not bring any benefit.

Zhou Yi's eyes were filled with determination. "Principal Ke, I apologize to you first. The piece I gave to your school before was from Nanfeng's previous inventory. I shouldn't have helped him hide this from you."

Hearing this, Ke Renyi was not surprised at all.

In fact, he had all sorts of guesses in his mind from the first time he heard that piece of music.

The theme of 'youth and beauty' is, to be honest, not difficult at all; in fact, it is relatively simple.

Nanfeng has made such a name for himself in the music industry, he must have some real talent. With his ability, it's impossible for him to write a piece that doesn't fit the theme. There must be some unknown reason behind it.

Zhou Yi's voice continued, "Regarding the matter of deceiving your esteemed school, on behalf of Nanfeng, I would like to express my sincere apologies to Principal Ke and your school, and ask Principal Ke to give us another chance."

"what chance?"

As he spoke, Ke Renyi secretly gave Cao Lian a look.

Cao Lian understood and quickly stepped forward to help Zhou Yi stand up from the ground.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath. "In exchange for the opportunity to compose a new piece of music, we will refund the 300,000 yuan labor fee previously paid by your school and write a piece of music that fits the theme of the promotional video for your school free of charge. If possible, we would also appreciate it if Principal Ke would consider canceling the negative reviews from our clients."

At this point, her voice lowered considerably, "Principal Ke may not realize that a 100% excellent rating is indeed very important to Nanfeng. He has worked hard for so many years, and this label has become his trademark."

“Once the 100% excellent rating label disappears, it will have a huge impact on Nanfeng. That’s why Nanfeng acted so impulsively just now. Of course, I’m not denying Nanfeng’s fault. From beginning to end, 90% of the fault lies with him, and the remaining 10% lies with me, his assistant.”

After saying that, Zhou Yi knelt on the ground again.

Seeing this, Ke Renyi opened his mouth, then sighed helplessly.

As mentioned before, he is the type of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

Zhou Yi's apology and sincere attitude left Ke Renyi unsure how to refuse. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Get up first."

Zhou Yi stubbornly shook her head. "Principal Ke, please forgive my persistence. Please give us a chance to make amends."

During their conversation, Cao Lian tried several times to pull Zhou Yi up from the ground, but failed each time.

In the end, he gave up the idea and shook his head at Ke Renyi.

Ke Renyi rubbed his temples. "Alright, let's do it the way you just suggested. But let me make this clear: it's a little past four in the afternoon, and I need the background music by seven in the evening."

"it is good!"

Seeing that Ke Renyi had agreed to her suggestion, Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up. Even through the black stockings, the redness on her knees was still visible.

She took out her phone and checked the time, her attitude extremely humble. "Principal Ke, it's already 4:45 PM, and there are only a little over two hours left until 7 PM. Time is of the essence, and we can't waste time traveling. Could we please use your school's music classroom?"

"Music room?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Renyi suddenly remembered his promise to Lin Mo, "It's possible, but..."

Zhou Yi's heart tightened. "But what?"

"Forget it, it's nothing."

Ke Renyi waved his hand, not saying the rest of his words.

Previously, there was no other way but to try anything as a last resort.

The situation is different now. Even if Nanfeng's character is questionable, his professional skills are beyond doubt. With him helping to produce the background music, Lin Mo's side is no longer needed.

After all, professional tasks should be left to professionals.

Besides, Lin Mo is just a freshman in college. Even if he can compose music, he is far from being comparable to a top-notch arranger like Nan Feng. The two are simply not on the same level.

For something as important as a promotional video, it's natural to choose the best one.

"Director Cao, please lead the way."

"Okay, Principal."

Cao Lian nodded in agreement and gave Zhou Yi a polite smile, "Please."

Zhou Yi smiled back, "Thank you."

After leaving the office, Zhou Yi leaned on the railing in the corridor and looked downstairs. When she saw Nanfeng standing in the parking lot, she felt relieved.

To be honest, she was really afraid that if she managed to get the opportunity, she would find that Nanfeng had already left.

In that case, things would truly have reached a point of no return.

Noticing Zhou Yi's actions, Cao Lian, standing behind her, looked puzzled. As the dean of students in Xia Bei, he not only needed to be good at his job, but also at reading people.

What Ke Renyi could see, Cao Lian could naturally see as well.

Especially after Zhou Yi and Nan Feng left the office, Cao Lian quietly went inside the door and eavesdropped for a while, which made him even clearer about the relationship between Zhou Yi and Nan Feng.

"Assistant Zhou, is it... worth it?"

"There's no such thing as worth it or not."

Zhou Yi could hear the deeper meaning in Cao Lian's words, and a look of bewilderment flashed in her eyes. "We've known each other for fourteen years, been in love for fourteen years. How many fourteen-year periods are there in a lifetime? This relationship is already broken and tattered. I just want to give it an ending."

"Why bother."

Cao Lian said he didn't quite understand.

Zhou Yi laughed, "Director Cao, I guess you've never been in a relationship before, right?"

"Cough-cough-"

One sentence made Cao Lian embarrassed, his face turning red for once. "What do you mean?"

Zhou Yi pursed her lips. "There are thousands of words in the world, but emotions are the hardest to understand. There is no right or wrong answer, because there is no correct answer."

Cao Lian was stunned.

At that moment, he saw a lot in Zhou Yi's eyes.

Zhou saw Cao Lian staring straight at him, a hint of shyness flashing deep in his eyes. He coughed lightly and said, "Director Cao, please lead the way. Time is still very tight."

Cao Lian came to his senses and realized his lapse in composure. He gave an awkward smile and led Zhou Yi downstairs.

As soon as he stepped downstairs, Nanfeng came up to him, her tone urgent, "How did it go?"

Zhou Yi glanced at Nan Feng's hands on her shoulders and took a step back without leaving a trace. "The 300,000 yuan labor fee that Xia Bei paid before will be refunded. Before 7 p.m., you need to write a song that fits the theme of Xia Bei's promotional video. If you meet these two conditions, Principal Ke will agree to cancel the negative reviews on Jiao Ke."

During the time Nanfeng spent downstairs, reason prevailed, and she realized how foolish her behavior in Ke Renyi's office had been.

Upon hearing Zhou Yi's words, his eyes lit up. "Seven o'clock in the evening? That's fine, we should still have time. Let's go home."

No need to reply.

Zhou Yi pointed at Cao Lian, "Principal Ke and I borrowed a music classroom. We can just follow Director Cao there. Speed ​​is important, but you also need to ensure the quality of the pieces. If the quality isn't good, we'll have no chance of getting the bad review removed."

Nanfeng was stunned, suddenly realizing that Zhou Yi in front of her seemed different from before.

"Xiao Yi..."
