They became stronger through blind dates, and all their wishes came true.

Chapter 17 Sorry, she already has plans.

After Wang Shuang left, Zhou Kang walked around the private office.

A genuine leather ergonomic chair, a solid wood desk, a bookshelf, and this high-spec computer!

This doesn't look like an office!

It's clearly a private room in an internet cafe!

He plopped down in the chair and enjoyed himself for a while.

Then I picked up my phone, ready to tell my mom that I had found a job.

Just as he was about to make a phone call, his hand suddenly stopped.

Can Mom believe something like this without any evidence?

Zhou Kang thought for a moment, then opened the editing software on his computer, imported a few clips, and casually dragged a couple of editing lines.

Then he took a few more books from the bookshelf and messed up his desk.

After doing all that, he took two photos from a good angle and sent them to his mother along with the previous electronic contract.

The caption read: Mom, I found a job.

Just seconds after I sent the message, my mom called.

"You little brat! You're a sophomore, why aren't you studying? What are you looking for a job for?" Li Xiufang's voice was full of skepticism. "What if you neglect your studies and can't graduate?"

"Mom, don't worry," Zhou Kang explained with a smile. "I signed an internship contract, so it won't affect my classes."

"Moreover, the job benefits are excellent. The monthly salary during the internship period is six thousand, and after becoming a full-time employee, you not only get weekends off, but your salary can also reach more than ten thousand."

Li Xiufang on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, her tone filled with disbelief.

"Really? Six thousand yuan? They'll give you that much during your internship? Xiaokang, don't let them fool you! Listen to your mother, go study now, and even if you don't have classes, go back to your dorm and lie down."

"Oh, Mom! Why would I lie to you? The company I'm interning at is called Zhishun Innovation Technology, it's a listed company! Besides, even if I don't look for a job now, I'll look for one later, right? Your precious son should at least have some work experience, shouldn't he?"

Li Xiufang on the other end of the phone was noticeably silent for a few seconds, seemingly checking the company's name.

"Wow! What a big company! A market value of 20 billion! You'd better work hard, get along well with your colleagues, and don't slack off. Working outside is different from school; you have to be more tolerant and listen to your superiors..."

Zhou Kang suppressed a laugh as he listened to his mother's rambling.

lead?

Aside from the board of directors, which leader would dare to manage a shareholder holding six percent of the shares?

However, he obediently replied, "I know, Mom. I'll do my best. Don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Kang glanced at the time.

It's not even 11 o'clock yet.

Just as I was contemplating whether to go to the mall and buy two new outfits to replace this suit, my phone vibrated.

It's news from Jiang Yirou.

Chloe: [Kang, are you free this afternoon? There's a barbecue and beer festival going on at Sun Island, I heard it's really lively, shall we go check it out together?]

Chloe: [And, this is a good opportunity for you to check out that loft apartment I mentioned~]

Zhou Kang looked at the message, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Now is not the time to meet; I haven't yet improved your impression of me.

He didn't reply immediately, but deliberately left her hanging for more than ten minutes.

Then I slowly typed out the photos and attached the work photos I had just taken.

Zhou Kang: [Sigh, I want to go too, but there's nothing I can do. My family arranged a job for me; I have to sit in an office and familiarize myself with the business.]

Zhou Kang: [Image]

Jiang Yirou replied almost instantly, her tone filled with disappointment.

Chloe: [I'm so envious of you, Kang Ge! Your family even arranged a job for you. [crying]]

Chloe: [Then I won't bother Kang Ge anymore, work is important.]

Chloe: [Don't forget to ask me out when you're free!]

Zhou Kang: [Okay.]

After putting down his phone, Zhou Kang got up and left the office.

Since we don't have to do any work, there's no need to waste time here.

He took the elevator to the underground parking garage, climbed into the Porsche, and let out a long breath.

"It's more comfortable not to be at the company."

While it was still early, Zhou Kang drove to the mall and bought himself two sets of cheap clothes.

Then he went back to school, since he still had to attend classes and pretend to be Lin Yutong's boyfriend in the afternoon.

……

At 4:50 p.m., Zhou Kang arrived outside Lin Yutong's classroom ahead of time and sent her a message.

Zhou Kang: [I'll wait for you at the door. I brought milk tea.]

Lin Yutong replied almost instantly.

Lin Yutong: [Is it the one from this morning?]

Zhou Kang replied with a smile: "I bought two kinds, bubble tea and Four Seasons Spring tea with cheese foam. You can try both."

Lin Yutong: [Then feed me.]

Zhou Kang's lips twitched as he read her message.

Sis, you're really into acting!

At five o'clock sharp, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

The students left the classroom one after another.

Lin Yutong was wearing a black bomber jacket today, with a simple white T-shirt underneath, slim-fit dark blue jeans, and her usual white sneakers.

It looked like a cool outfit, but Zhou Kang's gaze was still somewhat drawn to those impressive breasts.

Lin Yutong walked out of the classroom, looked around, and then her gaze settled on Zhou Kang.

She walked straight up to Zhou Kang, pointed to the Four Seasons Spring Cheese Milk Tea on her right, and said, "I want this."

Zhou Kang sighed, inserted the straw, and held it to Lin Yutong's lips.

Lin Yutong naturally tossed her hair aside and lowered her head to put the straw in her mouth.

"Hmm..." Her eyes narrowed slightly, "This tastes even better."

A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

Zhou Kang felt the shocked, envious, and jealous gazes around him, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

This feeling...

Not bad.

"By the way, is the president free tonight?" Zhou Kang remembered. "There's a barbecue and beer festival at Sun Island, and I heard there's also live music. Want to go together?"

Lin Yutong shook her head: "I have a judo class tonight."

"Alright, I'll go by myself then." Zhou Kang didn't insist.

However, I still quite enjoy watching Lin Yutong eat. I always feel that Lin Yutong when she's eating is a different person from the Lin Yutong I usually see.

"Okay." Lin Yutong nodded. "Then I'll be going now."

"Bye-Bye!"

After watching Lin Yutong leave, Zhou Kang turned and walked towards the school gate.

……

Sun Island Barbecue and Beer Festival, 7 PM.

The entire street was decorated festively, with colorful lights twinkling and various barbecue, hot pot, and seafood restaurants lined up in a row.

On a distant stage, an unknown band is passionately playing unknown music.

Zhou Kang found a seat by the street, ordered a roasted lamb leg and a bunch of chicken wings, a chili pepper, two cloves of garlic and a large glass of ice-cold draft beer.

The waiter brought over draft beer and a plate of peanuts.

Zhou Kang grabbed a handful of peanuts, chewed them a couple of times, and then took a swig of beer from his mug.

"Cool!"

Zhou Kang couldn't help but sigh.

With money and free time, they can eat and drink whatever they want.

Men's pleasures are sometimes so simple, so pure.

Just as I was enjoying my meal, I suddenly heard a greasy voice coming from not far away.

"Hey pretty girl, all alone? How about we brothers keep you company for a couple of drinks?"

Zhou Kang glanced over instinctively.

Five or six shirtless men with beer bellies were surrounding a girl.

The leader was bald and had a thick gold chain around his neck, about the thickness of a little finger.

His face was oily and his smile was extremely lewd.

Zhou Kang didn't want to meddle in other people's business, lest it spoil his mood.

However, the girl who was surrounded looked somewhat familiar, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

The girl was short and wore a white tank top with a thin sun-protective shirt over it.

She wore light blue denim shorts, revealing her fair legs.

Taking advantage of the girl's struggle, Zhou Kang finally saw her face clearly.

Isn't this Tian Tian from yesterday's street dating show?

"Excuse me, I don't drink." Sweetie politely declined, trying to avoid these people.

But the men wouldn't let it go and blocked her way.

"Don't be so cold, we brothers just want to make friends with our little sister." Big Gold Chain reached out to grab Sweetie's arm.

Sweetie took a step back in fright, her face pale and her voice trembling: "Please don't do this..."

"Don't worry, it's just having a couple of drinks with your brother..."

"Excuse me, she already has plans." Zhou Kang squeezed through the crowd and pulled the trembling Tian Tian into his arms. "Please leave immediately."
