749: Chapter 317: Subway, Ambiguity.
(Feels a bit messy, not the kind of ambiguity you’re thinking of)
“Even if we’re not that familiar, we can still try to reach out, right?”
The student union management didn’t put too much pressure on Li Shiqi.
They just wanted to cooperate with the Xu Huai Association or the civilian organization founded by Zhou Yuwen, the University Student Mutual Aid Society, which would be mutually beneficial.
Li Shiqi could only reluctantly agree.
In fact, she never thought about discussing this matter with Zhou Yuwen.
But there was something she needed to contact Zhou Yuwen about.
Although Li Shiqi’s life wasn’t wealthy, thanks to Zhou Yuwen helping her find a tutoring part-time job, her life wasn’t too difficult.
After this semester, Li Shiqi received care from her dormitory roommates and thought of treating everyone to a meal at the end of the semester.
When they learned that Li Shiqi was treating, everyone was quite happy, and someone jokingly asked if they could bring their boyfriend?
“Right, Shiqi, just bring Zhou Yuwen along, we really want to meet him!”
“Yeah, I’ve read all his novels, he’s many people’s idol now.
Give us a chance to meet our idol!”
The three roommates teased and insisted on Li Shiqi bringing Zhou Yuwen along, and even said it would be a good opportunity to test his attitude towards her.
“Isn’t he single right now?”
The roommates kept discussing back and forth.
Seeing that everyone wanted to meet Zhou Yuwen, and considering Zhou Yuwen had offered to take her home after the winter break, Li Shiqi thought it was indeed appropriate to invite Zhou Yuwen for a meal and to inquire when he would be going home.
So amidst the coaxing of her roommates, Li Shiqi made the call.
At that time, Zhou Yuwen was busy in the office.
Upon seeing Li Shiqi’s call, he answered: “Hello?”
When Zhou Yuwen found out Li Shiqi was talking about the matter of going home for winter break, he felt a bit awkward because the winter job came up so abruptly, and he momentarily forgot he had promised to take Li Shiqi home.
Now, with numerous things awaiting his attention, Zhou Yuwen estimated that it would be at least a week before he could go home.
Then Li Shiqi mentioned that to thank Zhou Yuwen for taking her home, she wanted to invite him for a meal.
Zhou Yuwen was puzzled for a long time, scratched his cheek, and said, “That Shiqi…”
“I suddenly got a bit held up here, might not be able to leave for a while.
How about I get you a train ticket to go home first?
Or do you want to wait for me?”
Zhou Yuwen indeed felt sorry, as it was close to the New Year, and train tickets weren’t easy to book.
Li Shiqi didn’t take it seriously, as she wasn’t fond of that home anyway.
At that time, just hearing that Zhou Yuwen would take her home made her plan on taking the chance to go back, otherwise, she might stay in the dormitory area for a long time.
Upon hearing Zhou Yuwen’s words, Li Shiqi immediately said, “It’s alright, I’ll wait for you.”
Zhou Yuwen said: “I’m really sorry then, these matters are just too sudden, and I’m completely swamped.”
Li Shiqi enjoyed chatting with Zhou Yuwen, hearing him complain made her smile lightly.
She asked if it was about the winter job?
Zhou Yuwen replied affirmatively.
“You knew about this?”
“Yeah, our school is talking about you.
They say you’re a hero.”
Zhou Yuwen humbly replied that it was merely something he did spontaneously.
“Besides, it’s not entirely voluntary labor.”
Li Shiqi talked with Zhou Yuwen for a while and asked if he was free on Friday night, wanting to invite him for dinner.
Zhou Yuwen said there’s no need as he already felt bad for taking up her time.
Li Shiqi mentioned that it wasn’t just a dinner invitation for him alone.
“Mainly…”
At this point, Li Shiqi felt somewhat embarrassed and said that her roommates really wanted to meet him and insisted she bring him along.
“If you’re free, come over,”
“The more the merrier…”
Li Shiqi said a lot in one breath.
Zhou Yuwen, hearing her say this, replied, “Alright, I’ll see when I can make it.”
“Mhm.”
The end of the term was a bit busy.
Managing work for 4,000 people didn’t allow for any carelessness.
Zhou Yuwen’s small company was virtually fully mobilized, with Jiang Xinyi in charge of finance, Lv Hui in charge of human resources, Gao Yang liaised with the factory, and Liu Shuo managed vehicle rentals.
The factory had not yet sent the payment, and Zhou Yuwen had already advanced several hundred thousand yuan.
It was previously said that this semester could make six million, clearly referring to gross profit.
Jiang Xinyi calculated for Zhou Yuwen and said that according to the current scale, the net profit he can take home is probably only about four million yuan.
Zhou Yuwen said, “You sound unsatisfied with that amount?”
Jiang Xinyi pouted and said, “My mom says with your current scale, making tens of millions isn’t a problem.”
“You really are a capitalist’s daughter, so ruthless.”
“What are you talking about!
I’m just saying it casually!”
Jiang Xinyi immediately got defensive and couldn’t help but laugh.
Though the money made from this order was less, it was enough to show Zhou Yuwen had a conscience.
Taking advantage of having the office to themselves, Jiang Xinyi mentioned, “You’ve really kept me busy during this period for your sake.”
“After this busy period, how do you plan to reward me?”
Zhou Yuwen said, “Didn’t I give you your bonus early?”
“Not that, isn’t there another reward?” Jiang Xinyi asked, batting her eyelashes.
Zhou Yuwen, puzzled, said, “The bonus was already given, don’t be too greedy, missy!”
Jiang Xinyi pouted and quietly said Zhou Yuwen didn’t understand romance.
Then facing Zhou Yuwen directly, she asked rather haughtily if he planned to go anywhere during winter break.
