I just started college and my advisor turned out to be my blind date?

Mu Wanqiu: Don't get into conflicts with people, okay?

Lu Ming stood up confidently, and the screen lit up again.

He glanced at Mu Wanqiu; the girl had her head down, engrossed in editing a long string of words.

Lu Ming didn't need to look to know that Mu Wanqiu was trying to persuade him to back down.

The two were inseparable since childhood. It was fine in elementary school, but things gradually changed when they entered junior high school.

There were always people bothering the two of them, especially Mu Wanqiu, who ignored everyone except Lu Ming.

It was around that time that Lu Ming gradually learned how to fight, and more fundamentally, how to take a beating.

Every time he got into a fight, there was always a pair of fearful and worried eyes watching him silently.

After the fight, Lu Ming grinned and boasted that so-and-so in the class wouldn't dare to cricket at Mu Wanqiu. Meanwhile, Mu Wanqiu just hung her head and searched for the wounds on Lu Ming's body, applying medicine to them.

To make things easier for Mu Wanqiu, Lu Ming always carried mercurochrome with him.

I used it on Su Manqing last time when I had the chance.

Lu Ming grinned and gave Mu Wanqiu a comforting look.

Mu Wanqiu slightly raised her eyes and typed again.

"You can't keep fighting forever, Lu Ming."

Mu Wanqiu deleted a large paragraph and gripped her phone tightly in her palm.

She is afraid.

Fearing that Lu Ming might become like his father, prone to violence and fighting, one day lying in a hospital bed, his face ashen, and never to wake up again.

Lu Ming's fingers trembled, and his anger dissipated by more than half.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

The duty manager walked up to the group, and Chong Yeyi bowed slightly.

Although her words seemed impartial, the recipients of her greetings were enough to prove who held more importance in his heart.

"Manager Yang, they are the ones who offended me."

"I kindly invited them to drink, but they made sarcastic remarks, which made me lose face."

The middle-aged man frowned; the wicked were the ones who accused him first.

"You think you can just drink because you're paying? Do you think you're some kind of emperor?"

Ye Yiyi grinned.

Now that she has a powerful backer, Ye Yiyi has the potential to become a bully who relies on his master's influence.

Lu Ming wanted to speak, but Mu Wanqiu tugged at his sleeve.

Her fingers were slender, pale from being deprived of sunlight for so long, and even trembling slightly.

Lu Ming's words were instantly aborted.

"you……"

The middle-aged man's face darkened completely, and he was about to point at Ye Yiyi when Manager Yang stepped in front of him.

The duty manager, dressed in a modern Chinese-style uniform, had a slender figure and a professional smile on her face. She spoke softly:

"Hello, if I remember correctly, you work at the Qin Group, right?"

"Coincidentally, the general manager of Qin's Hangzhou branch is also dining in your esteemed room."

Manager Yang's words were concise and to the point, showing great tact.

Cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged man's forehead.

A man whose career is on the rise has no time to chase after women everywhere.

Given the current economic downturn, he already faces pressure to meet performance targets.

His position is highly coveted by many.

If things escalate and alarm the general manager...

As a general manager, he naturally wouldn't step in and say anything.

But this matter could be a big deal or a small deal; what if it gets to the ears of some people in the company with ulterior motives...?

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, but he still chose to leave dejectedly.

As Ye Yiyi watched the other person run away in fright, she proudly raised her chin and gave Lu Ming a wink.

The meaning is quite obvious.

Lu Xiaoming, you may seem impressive at school, but when it comes to getting ahead, it's all about connections!

Lu Ming curled his lip.

"Ms. Ye, there are two more people. My name is Yang Shu, and my position is the duty manager."

Yang Shu scared off the middle-aged man, and the smile on her face became more sincere, but without any hint of taking credit.

She nodded to each of the three men, and after performing the proper courtesies, she said:

"Miss Ye is a regular customer at the store, while the two of you are relatively unfamiliar faces."

"There was a slight hiccup just now, it was due to my inadequate attention as the duty manager."

"How many of you are there? Would you like to move to a private room and have your dishes served again?"

Yang Shu was enthusiastic, and although her appearance was not as cool as Mu Wanqiu's or as charming as Ye Yiyi's, she exuded the charm of a mature professional woman.

Fortunately, Lu Ming didn't hit the tiles, otherwise he would have called out "Mom" several times.

Lu Ming was somewhat tempted.

This meal for three people isn't enough for him to eat alone.

This further confirms Lu Ming's opinion on the tire restaurant.

The presentation is exquisite, but the portion is small.

However, after glancing at Ye Yiyi, who was still immersed in the argument, and Mu Wanqiu, who was still shaken, he could only shake his head and say:

"Maybe next time. It's getting late, let's go."

Yang Shu's smile remained unchanged as she lightly tapped her high heels on the ground and handed over a business card:

"This is my business card. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

The perfume she wore was rich yet not overpowering.

The uniform fit her body perfectly, highlighting her round and perky figure.

When handing over her business card, Yang Shu's little finger seemed to unintentionally hook around Lu Ming's palm.

Seeing Lu Ming's slight surprise, Yang Shu blinked gently.

After a brief encounter, she realized that among the three, Lu Ming was the true backbone.

And the personal assistant of the dignified Miss Su was very obedient to him.

She glanced at Mu Wanqiu out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but show a look of amazement.

This girl, who had been sitting obediently in her chair, possessed a captivating charm even in profile.

Yang Shu concealed it well, but she became even more interested in Lu Ming.

A boy who looks like a student, who shows surprise when teased a little, might be a good helper!

"Okay, then thank you Manager Yang for getting us out of this predicament."

Lu Ming nodded.

The other party was only so enthusiastic because of Su Manqing, but that didn't change the fact that she had helped the three of them with a small favor.

Lu Ming has always been clear about his gratitude and grudges.

"If you don't mind, I'll see you downstairs."

"Please come this way. The layout of Jiexianglou was designed by a traditional Huizhou-style master, emphasizing a beautiful view at every turn. Going down from here will allow you to better appreciate the scenery inside the building."

Yang Shu responded with a smile.

She didn't bring up the unpleasant incident again and changed the subject.

Just as Lu Ming was about to nod, two pairs of eyes came from behind him.

One was chillingly cold, the other was furious.

"No need, Manager Yang, you can go ahead and get back to work."

Ye Yiyi refused with a smile, but her tone was clenched and she looked very unhappy.

These two, who are clearly aunt and nephew, get along like a pair of bickering lovers...

Yang Shu had a new theory about the relationship between the two.

He smiled slightly, nodded, and left.

She wasn't in a hurry; there was plenty of time.

Seeing Yang Shu walk away, Ye Yiyi, still with her hands on her hips, walked to Lu Ming's side and raised her hand to pinch him:

"She's already gone far away. If you want, you can call her back."

"When that person handed you their business card just now, did you see them check it off?"

Lu Ming easily dodged; in the past eighteen years, only when Mu Wanqiu pinched him could he not dodge.

Because the girl couldn't pinch him, she would really sulk for half a day, making Lu Ming feel suffocated.

Lu Ming retorted:

"Ye Yiyi, don't slander someone's innocence out of thin air."

"To be envious of others for what you don't have is a crime!"
