As she fantasized about her future life, she saw two familiar figures at the front desk.
The next moment, the internet celebrity school beauty was stunned as if struck by lightning!
Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu were standing together, paying at the front desk.
It had been agreed over the phone that Cheng Zhu would treat.
However, since it was more cost-effective to use a card here, Little Lu chose to use her own card to treat Cheng Zhu.
"After the deduction, the balance on the card is still 2790," the front desk staff said.
They wouldn’t actively ask customers if they wanted to recharge, they just subtly hint at the remaining balance.
Hearing this, Cheng Zhu smiled, glanced at the promotions on the table, then handed over his mobile QR code, saying, "Recharge twenty thousand."
Lin Lu, lively by nature, although a daughter from a wealthy family, still cheerfully said in public, "Thanks, boss!"
Cheng Zhu smiled, took her hand, and turned around, only to see Zhang Qiqi standing by the side.
A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes; he hadn’t expected to encounter this tool-woman in such a place.
"Hi, senior, what a coincidence?" He didn’t let go of Lin Lu’s hand; instead, due to meeting someone they both knew, he held it even tighter.
No matter what would happen next, at this moment, one must hold on tighter, take care of the present first, and then deal with what follows, OK?
Lin Lu could feel the firm grip of his large hand; seeing Zhang Qiqi, she was somewhat taken aback, but the strength in his grip made her feel sweet inside.
However, the emotions of the internet celebrity school beauty were completely different.
Just a few days ago, she and Cheng Zhu had intimate contact in a classroom at the business park, and it was she who had initiated it.
She had even dreamed about that day occasionally over the past few days.
But now, it hadn’t been long, and she saw him holding hands with another girl!
Although Cheng Zhu had rejected her that day, saying he already had someone he liked, she had always assumed it was Shen Qingning, the Miss Shen she disliked.
She hadn’t expected it to be Lin Lu!
"How could it be Lin Lu?"
"Why is he holding hands with Lin Lu?"
"Could they be dating?"
Seeing the guy she liked holding another girl’s hand, Zhang Qiqi felt heartbroken, extremely distressed.
Yet, the thought that surfaced in this tool-woman’s mind was, "What about Shen Qingning?"
Indeed, what about Miss Shen?
Nevertheless, at this moment, no matter how complicated her thoughts, she had to pretend that nothing had happened a few days ago and that they were just pure senior and junior in front of Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu.
She squeezed a smile onto her face, trying to appear enthusiastic, saying, "Junior brother, junior sister, what a coincidence."
Cheng Zhu nodded, "Didn’t expect to run into you here."
"Senior, have you just arrived? We’re finished here; we’ll take our leave," he said.
"Ah? Oh, okay," Zhang Qiqi quickly nodded, then smiled and waved, "Junior brother, sister, bye."
"Yes, bye," Cheng Zhu said, then pulled Lin Lu away.
At that moment, the internet celebrity school beauty was still watching their retreating figures.
Standing next to her, her assistant Little Yun was also watching, sparks of gossip glinting behind her glasses!
"Cheng Zhu! I actually saw the real Cheng Zhu!" Little Yun screamed internally.
She had been working in the influencer circle in Hang City, so how could she not have heard this legend’s name?
In the circle, there was even a saying, "There isn’t an influencer in Hang City on the web as hot as Cheng Zhu!"
This guy who hadn’t even opened a personal Weibo account had a terrifying level of online attention!
Moreover, she worked for Ancient Mountain Culture, and she knew her boss and Cheng Zhu were especially close.
Zhu Youwei wouldn’t conceal this fact; he wished everyone knew just how close he and Cheng Zhu were!
What mattered most was, Little Yun noticed the emotions in Zhang Qiqi’s eyes and her slightly stiff expression, and she felt like she smelled something.
"Oh~ the fragrance of a love triangle~"
No! Wrong, totally wrong!
He also had a rumored girlfriend, and there were people in the company shipping him with Shen Qingning!
"A love square, even more enticing—it’s captivating!"
But as an internet-celebrity assistant handpicked by Zhu Youwei, Little Yun was a very observant and sensible person.
A good assistant should keep secrets and not talk too much.
Thus, when Zhang Qiqi said "let’s go," Little Yun just walked along, saying, "Sister Qiqi, was that Cheng Zhu just now?"
"Yes, you recognized him?" Zhang Qiqi forced her spirits up.
"Yes, he looks even more handsome in person than in videos!" Little Yun sounded like a little fangirl.
After entering the room and when there were no others around, Zhang Qiqi cautioned, "Little Yun, what you saw today about Cheng Zhu and his... his girlfriend, don’t tell anyone."
"Oh, okay, my lips are sealed, very sealed; you just mention it, and I won’t say a word," Little Yun immediately said, looking innocent and obedient.
She had deliberately revealed that she recognized Cheng Zhu to gauge Zhang Qiqi’s reaction, otherwise as an assistant, much would be left to her own guessing, easily leading to future mistakes.
This could be a huge scandal if it blew up on the internet!
Zhang Qiqi nodded slightly.
After thinking it through, she realized there probably weren’t many who knew about Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu dating.
