Chapter 115: Moving Ahead

Jiang Nansun was disgusted by Wang Yongzheng's frivolous behavior, especially since he dared to openly belittle and attack Zhang Anren in front of her.

Jiang Nansun found this behavior utterly disgusting. She glared at Wang Yongzheng, then turned to Zhang Anren beside her and softly comforted him, "Zhang Anren, don't listen to his nonsense. Your aunt has been deceived by him. I'm still talking to her!"

You painstakingly drew those blueprints for so many days, and what did he do? He just scribbled a few lines on a napkin. How can you compare them?

When Wang Yongzheng heard Jiang Nansun bring up his design again, he was furious.

He feigned dissatisfaction and retorted, "Hey, Jiang Nansun, you need to watch your words!"

I simply made the whole design scheme look clearer at a glance, it's not as simple as you say, just scribbling something down.

What constitutes a good solution? Clients want the final result, not how complex your drawings are!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun's face darkened, and he retorted without hesitation, "Stop making excuses, Wang Yongzheng, you're just trying to take shortcuts!"

"I'm clearly speaking based on my abilities, okay? Why are you so stubborn?"

Wang Yongzheng spread his hands, his gaze sweeping meaningfully over Zhang Anren, who had remained silent. He said, with a hidden meaning, "Don't force yourself to do things beyond your capabilities. That would be too tiring and unpleasant, wouldn't it, Teacher Zhang?"

Hearing the sarcasm in his words directed at Zhang Anren, Jiang Nansun was so angry that she directly hit his sore spot: "Wang Yongzheng, can you stop being so self-righteous?"

What's there to be proud of about someone like you who got in through foreign citizenship points?

How many points did Zhang Anren get? How many points did you get? If it were a fair competition, you might not be a match for Zhang Anren!

As the argument between the two intensified, Zhang Anren, though furious inside, maintained his gentle and humble demeanor.

He tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Teacher Wang, I think you might have misunderstood. I don't mean to argue with you about anything."

If my aunt ultimately chooses the best option for her guesthouse project, I won't mind at all; it's perfectly fair.

"Yes, it's good that you think that way."

Wang Yongzheng nodded slightly, then looked at the sullen Jiang Nansun and teased, "You see, Zhang Anren is more likely to see the essence of things."

By the way, Jiang Nansun, you misunderstood something earlier. I didn't get in because of my foreign nationality; I got in because of my appearance.

"Pfft! Hahaha—" Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but laugh out loud at Wang Yongzheng's shameless remark.

Seeing the mature and beautiful woman smile, Wang Yongzheng, a seasoned player in the dating scene, immediately seized the opportunity to strike up a conversation: "Beautiful lady, are you Nan Sun's friend? Could you tell me your name?"

"Ignore him!" Jiang Nansun glared at Zhu Suosuo and shouted angrily, "If you pay attention to him, I won't talk to you anymore."

Seeing that Jiang Nansun's face was red with anger, Zhu Suosuo suppressed a laugh and nodded, replying demurely, "I'm sorry, Nansun told me to ignore you."

Wang Yongzheng didn't seem to care about Jiang Nansun's attitude and continued to smile as he approached Zhu Suosuo: "It's alright, let me introduce myself, my name is Wang Yongzheng."

Zhu Suosuo glanced at him, smiled, and didn't say anything. She had already decided on Han Tao and knew to keep her distance.

Just then, the group of beautiful foreign women nearby started calling him back, occasionally throwing in greetings like "Oppa, Bariva."

The Korean spoken by them made the group feel very uncomfortable.

"I have to go now. It was nice meeting you. Your name is—"

Wang Yongzheng glanced over there helplessly, got up and left, still trying to trick Zhu Suosuo into revealing her name.

"What's it to you?" Jiang Nansun interrupted him angrily when he continued, "Hurry up and go, your girlfriend is waiting for you!"

Wang Yongzheng glanced at Zhu Suosuo, then turned to Jiang Nansun, his tone slightly teasing: "Alright, goodbye then. But I have to criticize Jiang Nansun; interrupting others is really impolite."

"Mind your own business! It's even more rude to show up uninvited!" Jiang Nansun retorted without backing down.

Zhu Suosuo finally realized that Jiang Nansun genuinely disliked Wang Yongzheng.

She gently patted Jiang Nansun's hand and coaxed softly, "Alright, alright, don't be angry."

"Remember, don't pay any attention to him next time!" Jiang Nansun said with a straight face, pretending to be disgusted and pouting, then turned to comfort Zhang Anren: "Zhang Anren, don't be angry, okay? I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't know how to tell you."

"How could I be angry with Princess Jiang?" Zhang Anren shook his head, forcing a smile. "Don't worry, I will never be angry with you in this lifetime."

As the group was talking, a middle-aged man exuding the authority of a teacher walked by. He was the department head.

Zhang Anren's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up his food, saying to Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo, "Nansun, I'll go and say hello to the department head. You and Suosuo eat first, I'll come find you directly in a bit."

"Zhang Anren, aren't you tired? Do you have to be so vigilant and attentive even while eating?"

Seeing that Zhang Anren was in a hurry to flatter him before he had even finished his meal, leaving Jiang Nansun and herself behind, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but complain a couple of times.

"You should still show some courtesy. It won't take long. See you in a bit."

Zhang Anren gave Jiang Nansun an explanation and then turned and left.

Seeing the displeasure on Jiang Nansun's face, Zhu Suosuo asked in confusion, "Was he like this when he ate with you before? Also, does Wang Yongzheng have a grudge against Zhang Anren?"

"I also think he's too tired; he tries to be perfect in everything."

Jiang Nansun sighed helplessly, then followed Zhu Suosuo's gaze to look at Wang Yongzheng, who was surrounded by a group of women, and said with a displeased expression, "You are not allowed to pay any attention to that Wang Yongzheng anymore! This guy is idle all day long and full of bad ideas! Zhang Anren is popular, and everyone in the department likes him."

Although he wasn't the most professionally skilled, he was the most likely to stay on at the university.

There are only a few spots available, but quite a few teaching assistants, so everyone is competing for them.

Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh, so Wang Yongzheng is very professionally capable?"

Jiang Nansun nodded, but looked unconvinced: "I've heard he's quite capable, but I really hate this person and can't be bothered with him."

"Hehe, let's not talk about him then." Looking at Jiang Nansun's arrogant expression, Zhu Suosuo chuckled and changed the subject: "By the way, Nansun, you've pretty much finished shopping. After you finish eating, are you going straight home, or are you going to wander around a bit more?"

"I haven't decided yet. Are you going home?" Jiang Nansun asked Zhu Suosuo with a smile on her lips.

"I have to go back." Zhu Suosuo glanced at her pampered best friend, sighed inwardly, and a worried look appeared on her face. She continued, "My dad is coming back, so I plan to pack my things in advance and move out tomorrow if possible."

Otherwise, my aunt will definitely start bringing up the same old tune again these next few days, forcing me to marry Luo Jiaming.

But I really don't like him. I've had enough of living under someone else's roof.

Even if he were the only man left in the world, I wouldn't marry him, otherwise I'd never be able to turn my life around.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun immediately took Zhu Suosuo's hand and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, Suosuo. Now that you've found a place to live, what's there to be afraid of?"

It would have been better to move out a few days earlier, so I wouldn't have to listen to those annoying things every day.

"Nan Sun, I knew you understood me best!" Zhu Suosuo smiled, having already made up her mind.
