I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

When Zhou Man sent the message to Xiao Bonian, she was in He Qiuzhu's dormitory.

This is the new campus of Yang-Ke University. The students have very good accommodation. It is a residential community with 8 buildings forming a dormitory area. There are roads and greenery, and the area is surrounded by iron fences, leaving only one exit: the dormitory management station.

Each building has 6 floors, with 2 large rooms (dormitories) facing each other on each floor. Each large room has 3 bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom, just like a residential house. The only difference from residential houses is that each small bedroom houses 4 people, with a bunk bed and desk structure, so 12 people live in one large room (dormitory).

He Qiuzhu's dormitory is in Unit A, Building 2, Dormitory Management Station No. 3, which is the innermost bedroom of 501, the one closest to the bathroom.

At this moment, two of He Qiuzhu's roommates have arrived in the bedroom, and their mother is making their beds.

The two roommates were also chatting quietly, seemingly afraid of disturbing the other side.

There's no way around it, the sheer scale of the operation here is quite intimidating:

First, there was a girl who was frighteningly beautiful; she was their roommate.

Then came an elegant and dignified young woman, who looked like she had stepped out of a movie gala – her roommate's mother.

There was also an elite female office worker dressed in a Chanel business suit, who was her mother's assistant.

An assistant, yes, an assistant. It was the first time the two women had ever seen someone bring an assistant when taking their child to school. Not to mention, the assistant was wearing Chanel—the logo of that international brand, which the two women recognized.

With such a powerful lineup, it's no wonder that the two girls were deliberately speaking in hushed tones.

"They had a last-minute dinner appointment."

Zhou Man saw the text message from Xiao Bonian, put away her phone, and said, "Then let's just ignore them."

Ding Ling, the female assistant beside him, asked, "Mr. Zhou, shall I go make the bed?"

"Um……"

Zhou Man hesitated for a moment, and seeing Ding Ling about to roll up her sleeves, she finally reached out and stopped her, saying, "Let me do it."

Ding Ling was in a dilemma: "President Zhou, you're wearing a skirt today. Although everyone here is a woman, it's still not convenient to climb up..."

He Qiuzhu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she spoke up, "Let me do it. Can you pass me the mattress from downstairs?"

She made the bed herself, and Zhou Man held up the mattress and handed it to her from below. She thought that scene was already very beautiful.

Zhou Man glanced at the two mothers making their daughters' beds and immediately became angry. "Ding Ling, are there any other clothes for me in the car?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, we have two sets."

"Then go down and bring up a set, one that can be used for work."

After Ding Ling left, Zhou Man also stopped He Qiuzhu from going upstairs, saying, "Just sit and rest for a while. Remember to apply a face mask every day from now on. Although you're still young, it's always good to start taking care of your skin early..."

He Qiuzhu sat in the chair, her hand held by Zhou Man, listening to her rambling, her eyes sparkling.

very nice.

Ding Ling quickly brought up the clothes, a set of top and pants. Zhou Man went to the bathroom to change, and when she returned to the dormitory, she climbed directly onto He Qiuzhu's bed.

Ding Ling tried to lift the mattress for her, but she stopped her and had He Qiuzhu lift it for her instead. Then she took the mattress and quickly made the bed. The mother and daughter worked together and finished quickly.

Meanwhile, her two mothers, who had gone to bed earlier than her, were still not ready.

This pleased Zhou Man greatly.

win!

Back in the day, due to her father's strict upbringing, she did everything herself in college, so she wasn't some pampered girl and was quite capable at work. Even after many years away, she hadn't forgotten how to do things, which was good.

Zhou Man also gave He Qiuzhu a look.

He Qiuzhu looked up at her, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

This made Zhou Man even more smug.

He Qiuzhu's two roommates stared blankly at her.

The mother of my new roommate is much more efficient at housework than both of their mothers, which is quite different from their previous image. It's such a contrast.

After getting out of bed, Zhou Man chatted with He Qiuzhu for a short while before the two mothers also came downstairs.

Zhou Man also extended an invitation: "It's almost lunchtime, let's all go out for a meal together. After all, our children will be living in the same room for the next four years, so we're all friends now. It's on me, so let's just have a simple meal."

At the beginning, Zhou Man and He Qiuzhu, this mother and daughter pair, did put a lot of pressure on the two pairs of roommate mothers and daughters, who felt that they were unapproachable and not on the same path.

But with Zhou Man's "jumping around" just now, this barrier seemed to have melted away unintentionally—she was just like them, she also helped her daughter make the bed, and she was even more efficient at it than they were!

So he accepted the invitation.

When the group went out together, the two mothers chatted with Zhou Man.

"Young lady, you're really efficient at your work."

"It's alright. When I was younger, I did everything myself..."

After leaving the dormitory management station, the two mothers suggested that they could just eat something at the cafeteria, but Zhou Man was also a woman and understood women.

So she went her own way, dragged everyone out of the school, hailed a taxi, asked the driver for directions, and then drove directly to Zhongtanghui in the commercial street. They booked a private room and had a very enjoyable meal.

That's how He Qiuzhu met her two roommates.

The two girls, the taller one is named Du Nanxin, and the petite one with glasses is named Fu Rong; both are majoring in Computer Science and Technology.

Fu Rong, a novel enthusiast, recommended a book to He Qiuzhu: "Have you read Gu Man's 'Love O2O'? The female lead is a super beauty from the computer science department. I think you'll really connect with the character! You absolutely have to read it, it's really good!"

He Qiuzhu said softly, "Okay, I'll go see it." Then she couldn't say anything more.

However, for her, the fact that her roommate was willing to take the initiative to get closer to her was already a good start, wasn't it?

She also remembered the novel and would read it, hoping it would give them more topics to talk about.

Ruan Yue said she is getting better and she can feel it.

……

At the same time, a group of four people passed by the door of Zhou Man's private room. It was Xiao Bonian and his group who had just finished eating.

Qian Mingen was about to pay the bill when the receptionist said that Shen Kang had already paid (Shen Kang went to the restroom to pay).

This prompted Qian Ming'en to complain a couple of times, and then he invited Xiao Bonian and his son to pay the bill next time they ate together.

Afterwards, Shen Kang drove the group back to school. On the way, when they passed the security office, Qian Ming'en made him stop and personally led him up with the forms and materials to quickly get the BMW's access pass processed.

After sending both deans back, only Xiao Bonian and Shen Kang remained.

The semi-underground parking lot was dimly lit, filled with parked cars, and there was no one else around.

Xiao Bonian stood aside, watching Shen Kang take a suitcase and a laptop bag out of the trunk, and suddenly spoke.

"Did Li Su say something to you?"
