Chapter 813: 605 good_2

Jiang Chen glanced at the bottled water on the ground, "Carry it yourself."

"Hey, what kind of attitude is that? I’m a girl!"

Despite his words, Jiang Chen wasn’t a petty man and still had some manners. He disregarded his current status, bent down, and smoothly hoisted a box of water onto his shoulder.

"So manly!"

Xu Siyi praised him with bright, animated eyebrows.

Jiang Chen ignored her and walked out of the convenience store, carrying the water.

Xu Siyi followed closely behind.

"Did you ever drink that kind of milk tea when you were a kid?" she asked.

"Back then, I couldn’t even afford Coke."

Xu Siyi didn’t think he was lying.

She knew Jiang Chen’s past was very constrained.

She also understood that the three bottles of milk tea he had just given to those kids were not only for them but perhaps also a gift to his younger self.

Back in the elevator, Xu Siyi pressed the floor button and tilted her head, "Tired? Just put it down on the floor."

Jiang Chen acted as if he hadn’t heard her, bearing the box of water on his shoulder, looking straight ahead in silence.

Xu Siyi laughed.

"Such a miser? I called you uncle because you look mature, which is actually a compliment."

"Thirty yuan, remember to transfer it to me."

Xu Siyi was stunned.

"Ding," the elevator doors opened, and Jiang Chen walked out with the water.

Xu Siyi chuckled, radiantly beautiful, but then her smile gradually faded for no reason.

Regarding love, she had never harbored any fantasies and even scoffed at the word.

She had always been a very practical, or rather, a very rational person.

In this world, what is love?

Between men and women, it was merely a tacit transaction where each had their own agendas.

But now.

She found herself developing a feeling she had never experienced before, and it wasn’t just a simple liking anymore.

Xu Siyi quietly sighed. Previously, she thought she could conquer any man, but now her competitive spirit seemed absent.

Once, she was solely focused on catching a wealthy husband and marrying into a rich family. Perhaps her mindset hadn’t completely changed, but it seemed not as obsessive anymore.

Besides marrying into a wealthy family, there seemed to be other ways to have an ideal life.

Back in the dance studio, Jiang Chen saw Li Shuru talking with a delivery man, "Where should I put the water?"

Li Shuru laughed at his appearance and pointed towards a stretching bar.

Jiang Chen walked over and put down the water.

Xu Siyi also came in, standing beside Li Shuru and started chatting with the delivery man as well.

Logically, after delivering something, the delivery man should have left immediately. Why was he hanging around here?

And Li Shuru and Xu Siyi should barely have anything to talk about with a delivery man for so long.

Having done some lifting work, Jiang Chen walked over with a slight confusion.

"This is Guo Ran’s boyfriend."

With Li Shuru’s introduction, Jiang Chen suddenly realized, and as if he hadn’t noticed the delivery man’s uniform, he smiled politely, "Hello."

The other party was also surprised.

"This is my boyfriend."

The man dressed as a delivery worker was immediately stunned, even more surprised than Jiang Chen.

Although he had never met him, his girlfriend had mentioned many stories about him.

He wasn’t surprised by his youth; he just didn’t expect such a successful man to condescend to do such labor as carrying water.

"...Hello, my name is Qu Jing."

He hurriedly responded, his forced smile visibly awkward.

"We’ll probably have to wait a bit longer, about twenty more minutes until the class ends," Xu Siyi said.

"No problem, his mom is busy today, so I came to help pick him up."

Jiang Chen vaguely remembered Li Shuru mentioning that Guo Ran and her boyfriend met because his niece was a student in the dance studio.

"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your help. I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."

Qu Jing gratefully said to Jiang Chen.

"No worries, we’re all friends; it’s the least I can do," Jiang Chen replied with a nonchalant smile.

"I’ll go help Guo Ran."

Xu Siyi left.

Qu Jing also found an excuse to step aside.

"He’s a graduate of Nankai University," Li Shuru whispered.

"Guo Ran has good taste."

Profession does not demean one’s dignity.

Jiang Chen knew that the man had failed in an investment not long ago, leading Guo Ran to borrow money on Jieyou Loan.

Falling down isn’t the issue; what matters is whether you have the courage to get back up.

Nankai University.

In terms of university rankings, it’s even ahead of Dong University and famously recognized nationwide.

Having such an educational background and willingly lowering his status to deliver food—just on this point, he surpassed the vast majority of people today.

So many college graduates complain about not finding suitable jobs while simultaneously despising certain positions in society.

Just like delivering food.

As long as one is willing to endure hardships and has hands and feet, anyone can earn a living through this.

But how many people can swallow their pride?

It’s like Kong Yiji’s indelible long gown, academic qualifications have become a high stage many people can’t step down from.

There’s a movie quote that actually sums up the most fundamental truth.

Making money, well, is not humiliating.

"Tired or not?"

Li Shuru withdrew her gaze.

"This is nothing. The school doesn’t have an elevator. Back when I was in school, when we bought water for the dormitory, I had to carry the water buckets up the stairs myself."

Jiang Chen didn’t mind.

Li Shuru nodded, "Actually, the convenience store would help deliver the water upstairs."

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"Wasn’t it to give you a chance to show off?"

Li Shuru uncharacteristically showed a hint of playfulness.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh and sigh, "I’m not coming next time."

"What did you want to talk about?"

Li Shuru got back to the point.

Jiang Chen cleared his throat, about to speak, Li Shuru stared at him, "You first say, good news or bad news?"

"..."

Jiang Chen immediately paused.

"Then it’s not good news."

Li Shuru understood and then said, "Go on."

Jiang Chen, slightly embarrassed, hesitated for a while and slowly said, "I might need to meet Ai Qian."

Li Shuru’s pupils slightly constricted but she remained silent.

"It’s a gathering organized by Shao Shuhuai. He probably thinks I wouldn’t meet him, so he must have invited Ai Qian."

Jiang Chen quickly explained the situation.

"Shao Shuhuai?"

"What’s his relationship with Ai Qian?"

Li Shuru asked, her tone revealing no emotion.

"How would I know."

Jiang Chen seemed unconcerned about this question, "You said it, we are at least classmates. Deliberately avoiding isn’t appropriate..."

Li Shuru’s lips moved as if to speak, but Jiang Chen continued, "Of course, if you disagree, I won’t go."

"Really?"

Li Shuru confirmed, "If I disagree, you won’t go?"

Jiang Chen smiled sincerely, "Why would I lie to you? Otherwise, I wouldn’t tell you and just go, could you know?"

Li Shuru was not so easily fooled, "Then why didn’t you suggest bringing me along?"

Jiang Chen was stunned, he hadn’t really thought of that.

Bringing Li Shuru could be done, of course, but wouldn’t that be a bit pretentious?

Of course,

he wouldn’t say such a thing out loud, quickly saying, "Saturday night, should I pick you up?"

What defines a wise person.

Perhaps satisfied with his attitude, Li Shuru quickly changed the topic, fully demonstrating the fickleness of a woman.

"They invited you, not me, what would I go there for?"

Jiang Chen gave a bitter laugh, helplessly saying, "So are you going or not?"

For a typical girl, the answer would be obvious; watching her own boyfriend meet his ex-girlfriend, even for work reasons, she would probably insist on sticking close.

But Li Shuru was no ordinary woman.

She knew all about the story between Jiang Chen and Ai Qian. If they were meant to reunite, they wouldn’t have waited till today.

Asking to go together would not only embarrass Jiang Chen but would also make her seem narrow-minded.

Why bother with such an unprofitable task?

"You go, I won’t."

Jiang Chen was dubious, "Really not going?"

"If you really want me to go, I have no objection."

Jiang Chen chuckled bitterly.

Sometimes, he truly admired those playboys, like Luo Peng, maneuvering through a garden of flowers, how tiring must that be?

No, wait.

Young Master Luo seems to have reformed now.

That’s true.

Now with such a big company to worry about, where would he find the energy.

Li Shuru raised her hand, smoothing out the wrinkles on Jiang Chen’s water-pressed shoulders.

"I’ll wait for you at home Saturday night."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Okay."
