During the National Day holiday, Sheng Tang went home for a day.
Senior Brother Dazhou, Senior Brother Xiao Zhou, and even her younger brother all brought their girlfriends home.
The living room and dining room at home were not very large, and they were crowded all at once.
Sheng Tang had met Senior Brother Dazhou’s wife, who was also a lecturer at Geological University. She wasn’t particularly beautiful, but she was gentle and reserved, and quite compatible with Senior Brother Dazhou.
After graduating, Senior Brother Xiao Zhou joined a company and was currently doing well; his girlfriend was also a workplace elite, eloquent and very enthusiastic. Sheng Tang’s mother particularly liked her.
As for Sheng Tang’s younger brother, he brought his girlfriend home even though he hadn’t graduated from college yet.
Unlike Senior Brother Dazhou and Senior Brother Xiao Zhou’s partners, Sheng Zong’s girlfriend was very beautiful, with traces of artificial refinement.
Sheng Zong resembled his father, already standing at 180 cm tall, with handsome features. Even so, standing next to his girlfriend, he still seemed like a background.
Senior Brother Dazhou and Senior Brother Xiao Zhou initially thought their junior’s girlfriend was beautiful, but once Sheng Tang returned, all the radiance in the room was overshadowed by her.
Sheng Zong’s girlfriend paled in comparison to Sheng Tang.
"Our big star is back!" Senior Brother Xiao Zhou was very excited, "Nanni, your idol is back."
Nanni was his girlfriend’s name.
Nanni came over and gave Sheng Tang a hug without any reservation, "I’ve decided not to bathe for a week."
Everyone was amused.
Sheng Tang couldn’t help but laugh as well.
Her gaze also fell upon her brother’s girlfriend.
Remembering the kindness she had received from Gu Shiyan in the past, Sheng Tang tried her best to express her goodwill towards her brother’s girlfriend, nodding and smiling at her.
"Sis, this is Jin Luo," Sheng Zong introduced to Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang shook hands with Jin Luo.
Jin Luo remained very reserved, speaking very little and staying quiet.
After a meal, everyone dispersed in the afternoon.
Sheng Zong personally sent Jin Luo back to school.
When he returned, he lounged on Sheng Tang’s bed, chatting idly with her.
They, as siblings, always had endless topics to talk about.
"...Is Jin Luo the same girlfriend you’ve always been with?" Sheng Tang asked him.
Sheng Zong felt a bit embarrassed, "Actually, I broke up with the last one last year. Jin Luo is someone I’ve been dating recently."
"She’s very pretty," Sheng Tang remarked without criticizing his views on relationships.
Sheng Zong took his relationships seriously and didn’t play around. He only considered breaking up when things were truly unsuitable. She knew he had been extremely annoyed for months leading up to his last breakup.
"Sis, when you say that, it’s like saying the opposite," Sheng Zong laughed, "No one has the right to call themselves pretty in front of you."
Sheng Tang threw a small doll from the table at him.
Sheng Zong caught it, "I’m telling the truth. When I took her back, she kept saying my sister was even prettier than in the movies—oh right, we went to see your movie."
Sheng Tang smiled.
She rested at home for a day and then returned to Gu Jiahui’s apartment.
Ke Fei was handling several interviews.
With the release of "Who’s Afraid of the Workplace," the audience became even more curious about Sheng Tang, and any interview with her would spark a surge in clicks.
Sheng Tang took every interview seriously.
She worked diligently while also waiting for the first week’s box office results.
Just past midnight on the 8th, the first week’s box office stats were released. Sheng Tang immediately checked them and was prepared to stay up all night.
Many people would probably be interested and call her.
Even though she was mentally prepared, the first week’s box office results still made her heart skip a few beats.
