Chapter 393: Still Feeling Sentimental (2-in-1)_4
"No, at least tell me how much it is?"
Even in the underground parking lot, Zhou Yuwen was still persistent, asking again.
Jiang Xinyi, carrying bags and packages, opened the car door, glanced back at Zhou Yuwen, and smiled, "Guess!"
This time at Deji Plaza, they not only bought two suits but also some leather shoes and belt accessories, and even two sets of casual spring and autumn sweaters.
Being with Jiang Xinyi doesn't feel like a young couple in love, glued together. Jiang Xinyi would buy clothes for Zhou Yuwen, and then tell Zhou Yuwen which people at the party need special attention.
Some of them are prominent figures in the Jinling Business District. Even Liu Jing lowered her face to invite them.
In the past, these people would never have come.
"The reason my mom invited them over is to introduce them to you. If you want to establish a foothold in the Jinling business circle, getting to know them is essential."
"Without them, those from Meituan or Ele.me would at most see you as a dragon crossing the river."
"But with them, it shows you're acknowledged by the Jinling business circle. You're the local bigwig, and they are the ones crossing the river. If they want to establish themselves in Jinling, then your little food delivery company becomes very crucial."
Zhou Yuwen said, it's just a 20 million business; it's not big enough for such traders.
Jiang Xinyi said, "Now you can't handle it, but what about the future."
"In the future, huh."
Zhou Yuwen really hadn't thought about it. Zhou Yuwen's original intention was to rely on foresight of the times, dabble in a few freebies, and earn some dowry, but he always felt something about this development was off.
However, Jiang Xinyi and her mother had good intentions for Zhou Yuwen, so he couldn't bear to refuse, only half-heartedly going along.
As the housewarming party was about to start, more and more people found out about it. Outside, it was okay because business people were relatively low-key, and although Zhou Yuwen had gained some fame, it wasn't to the point of impressing everyone. But at school, there were all sorts of rumors. People exaggerated that Zhou Yuwen's otherwise ordinary party became a place only accessible to social elites, so many felt Zhou Yuwen was extraordinary. Some students with some connections managed to get into Zhou Yuwen's party and would boast about it, like that group of girls who attended thanks to Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan. Now they walk around the school with their heads held high.
Zhou Yuwen's party was exaggerated to such heights partly because of their efforts.
Because of this event, Liu Jing also invited the principal of Zhou Yuwen's school. Liu Jing's consideration was correct as she invited many social elites. Inviting the principal to the party would let him know Zhou Yuwen's strengths, thus offering some help to him at the school.
And once the principal attended, inevitably, this party would create some buzz among the school's teachers.
For instance, in You Changjin's office, that attention-seeking female teacher would ask You Changjin: "Are you going to your student's Zhou Yuwen's banquet?"
"Huh?" You Changjin was very confused. He's just a counselor; how could he follow these things?
After hearing reminders from other teachers, he learned that his student had such capabilities, even the principal and directors would attend the banquet.
"This is an opportunity to shine in front of the principal."
"Right, with such an outstanding student, why not make the most of this opportunity?"
Students in You Changjin's office were discussing back and forth.
You Changjin hesitated for a moment. He was not someone who sought quick success, but after hearing so many people say, "Mr. You, you should treasure a student like Zhou Yuwen."
"Exactly, if you don't appreciate this, might as well give Zhou Yuwen to someone else."
"Mr. You usually acts too high and mighty, didn't your girlfriend run off with someone? Girls like ambitious guys."
In fact, these teachers didn't know the reason for You Changjin's breakup.
But those words deeply hit You Changjin.
You Changjin thought, since the principal was going, it didn't matter if he tagged along to have a look.
"If the principal and directors are going, fine. But I, an ordinary counselor, shouldn't join in unnecessarily."
You Changjin said with a smile, but he was already tempted inside, making the excuse to patrol the class.
He actually wanted to find Zhou Yuwen to ask about the party.
But when he got to the class, he found Zhou Yuwen wasn't in the classroom.
So, You Changjin called Zhou Yuwen, first asking why Zhou Yuwen wasn't in class.
"Oh, teacher, I had something to do. Forgot to ask for leave." Zhou Yuwen was still outside with Jiang Xinyi and could only say that.
"It's okay, it's okay, the teacher knows you're busy, handle important matters first." You Changjin was afraid Zhou Yuwen would misunderstand and think he was causing trouble, so he quickly explained.
He stammered, saying actually he was there to discuss something with you...
After a while, he finally said, "I heard you bought a villa outside?"
"And held a housewarming party?"
"The principal and directors are going too?"
Zhou Yuwen listened for a while before understanding You Changjin's meaning, and casually asked, "Teacher also wants to come and have a look?"
"No, no, forget it, all the important people are going, and I'm just an ordinary teacher, so I won't go join in the trouble. I was just asking." You Changjin quickly said.
Zhou Yuwen smiled and said, "It's actually not a big deal, Chang Hao and the others are also coming."
"Oh? Chang Hao and the others are going too?"
Zhou Yuwen nodded. Although he was driving, one of his hands was mischievously on Jiang Xinyi's thigh, he said, "And Sister Xinyi will be there too!"
Jiang Xinyi glared at Zhou Yuwen, indicating him to focus on driving properly.
"Huh?"
Hearing Jiang Xinyi's name, You Changjin felt a little awkward and, with a laugh, said, "Yuwen, that's all in the past."
Zhou Yuwen acknowledged and said, "So will you come over and join the fun as well?"
"I'll see if I have time, I'll go over." You Changjin replied.
Zhou Yuwen agreed, ending the call.
Jiang Xinyi looked at Zhou Yuwen's righteous appearance and rolled her eyes helplessly, asking if Zhou Yuwen thought it was fun.
Zhou Yuwen asked, "What was fun?"
"Putting your lecherous hand on my leg while using me to lure your teacher?" Jiang Xinyi knew how to use her words.
Zhou Yuwen raised his hand to look at it, saying, "This is not a lecherous hand."
"Hmph." Jiang Xinyi dismissed condescendingly.
By the time Zhou Yuwen dropped Jiang Xinyi home, it was already late at night.
Zhou Yuwen originally wanted to be affectionate, saying in deep affection in the car, "Xinyi, I've really troubled you recently."
Jiang Xinyi couldn't handle his affection, scoffed and said, "Give it a rest, thank me after the party is over! I'm going home first!"
Zhou Yuwen asked, "You're leaving just like that?"
Jiang Xinyi chuckled and hurriedly ran out of the car.
No matter how much Zhou Yuwen called out, she wouldn't turn back.
This girl, who was six years older than Zhou Yuwen, rarely showed a shy, youthful side.
After sending Jiang Xinyi home, it was also time for Zhou Yuwen to return home.
The once lively large flat had only one girl left, Lu Lin.
To be honest, when surrounded by people, Zhou Yuwen didn't think of Zheng Yanyan.
But when no one was around, he suddenly thought of Zheng Yanyan.
Thinking that Zheng Yanyan would no longer belong to him in the future.
Zhou Yuwen inevitably felt sad.
It's understandable.
Zheng Yanyan was the first real girlfriend Zhou Yuwen had after his rebirth. This girl was beautiful, cute, and sometimes clumsily adorable.
But such a simple girl might not belong to him anymore in the future.
He remembered during military training, Zheng Yanyan would wear that somewhat oversized uniform and follow him around every day.
Confessing to him in the middle of the night.
Then when he walked in front, she would directly jump onto his back.
The more he thought, the more sentimental Zhou Yuwen felt.
Zhou Yuwen really didn't want to lose any of the girls.
Finally, returning to the underground garage of Lanting.
It was then that Zhou Yuwen really missed Yanyan.
So he messaged Shen Yu: "How's Yanyan today?"
Shen Yu replied: "Yanyan is nowhere to be found."
