Chapter 172: Didn't you know your boyfriend gives you 500 every month?_2
Zhou Yuwen had no feelings for Lv Hui, so he was able to act openly and comfortably.
He walked out of the small vegetable garden and answered Zheng Yanyan's question, "Oh, the cucumber trellis was a bit loose, so I fixed it in place."
"That's how you fix it?" Zheng Yanyan stared straight at Lv Hui. Her tone was due to the fact that when Lv Hui had raised her hand to help Zhou Yuwen fix the trellis, she exposed a large expanse of snow-white skin, which Zheng Yanyan could clearly see from the outside.
Women understand women best.
Immediately, Zheng Yanyan became wary of Lv Hui and asked Zhou Yuwen with a stony voice, "Who is she?"
"This is Sister Hui, Gao Yang introduced her to do the accounting." Zhou Yuwen introduced her, while also taking the opportunity to tell Lv Hui that this was his girlfriend.
No wonder this woman looked at her with such hostility.
However, the moment Lv Hui saw Zheng Yanyan, her interest in Zhou Yuwen halved. Zheng Yanyan was too beautiful. Lv Hui always thought she was also quite decent-looking, but it was heaven and earth compared to Zheng Yanyan.
Comparing the two women side by side,
Lv Hui could only be considered ordinary, while Zheng Yanyan clearly looked like the kind of girl who was well cared for.
Lu Lin had done some ideological work on Zheng Yanyan recently, so she was not as willful as before. She took Zhou Yuwen's hand and asked if he wanted to eat.
Zhou Yuwen said, "Wait for me to wash my hands."
Then after washing his hands and saying goodbye to Lv Hui, he went to have a meal with Zheng Yanyan.
Zheng Yanyan didn't speak a single word to Lv Hui the whole time. The only look she gave Lv Hui was one that Lv Hui understood all too well—it was a look of disdain.
Zheng Yanyan, holding Zhou Yuwen's arm, asked him quietly as they walked away, "Why did you find such an old woman to come here?"
Her voice was low, but Lv Hui heard it loud and clear. In an instant, Lv Hui's eyes reddened, and she bit her lower lip. Was it necessary to bully her this much?
Zhou Yuwen gave Zheng Yanyan's denim-wrapped pert backside a pat, telling her to be more careful with her words.
Zheng Yanyan didn't think she did anything wrong and even hummed coquettishly.
The three of them had a simple meal in the cafeteria. Zheng Yanyan said they were going to see a movie tomorrow and asked Zhou Yuwen if he wanted to go to the supermarket with her to buy snacks.
Zhou Yuwen said, "You go with Lu Lin later.
"I've still got a pile of things to do here."
"A courier station, how busy can it get? I see you have hired five or six people, is it necessary to be so busy?" Zheng Yanyan pouted.
Zhou Yuwen said, "You don't understand. Despite the size, my courier station can make twenty or thirty thousand a day."
"Hmph, bragging!"
Zheng Yanyan, hugging Lu Lin's arm, said, "I'm telling you, dress up cool for the movie tomorrow. It's the first time I'm meeting Lu Lin's boyfriend. Don't make me lose face."
Zhou Yuwen said, "It's just a movie, not a boyfriend contest. Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire
"Besides, I'm already handsome enough, what more do I need to dress up for?"
"Hey, Lu Lin, is your boyfriend as handsome as me?" Zhou Yuwen joked with Lu Lin.
Lu Lin gave him a look and said, "He's as handsome as you are."
"Oh, come on, you don't mean we look exactly alike, do you?" Zhou Yuwen asked.
Zheng Yanyan laughed and called Zhou Yuwen unserious.
"Be careful or Lu Lin will hit you!"
Zhou Yuwen sent Zheng Yanyan a two hundred yuan red envelope and told her and Lu Lin to go to the supermarket in the afternoon, telling them to put whatever they wanted on his tab.
Zheng Yanyan said she didn't need Zhou Yuwen's money.
Zhou Yuwen said, "If you don't want it, then I'll send it to Lu Lin.
"Let Lu Lin pay the bill."
Zhou Yuwen was serious because Zheng Yanyan really didn't ask him for money. She returned the money to Zhou Yuwen, and he promptly sent it to Lu Lin.
Although Zheng Yanyan didn't want Zhou Yuwen to pay, his insistence made her feel happy. She coyly shook Lu Lin's arm and said, "Linlin, look at him~"
Lu Lin was very pragmatic. As soon as the red packet arrived from Zhou Yuwen, she accepted it straight away, saying, "I've got it."
"Ah, Linlin, how could you!" Zheng Yanyan immediately pursed her lips in disapproval.
Lu Lin said, "I'm not pretentious. If someone gives me something, I'll take it.
"After eating so much dog food, it's not too much to ask for a little compensation, right?"
"Humph! I didn't expect you to be like this, Linlin."
On the surface, the two remained good friends. However, Zheng Yanyan would still complain to Zhou Yuwen about Lu Lin behind her back, mentioning how Lu Lin loved small gains and would take every penny.
Zhou Yuwen just listened and didn't comment.
In the afternoon, Gao Yang and the others were busy in the warehouse. Zhou Yuwen had nothing to do and checked out the courier station with Jiang Xinyi and Lv Hui.
It was mid-November, yet the weather was still fiercely hot, but not the dry kind—it was a kind of suffocating heat.
The three of them chatted idly in the office with nothing else to do.
At first, he had been somewhat cautious in his conversations with Jiang Xinyi because of her status, but as he got to know her better, Zhou Yuwen found Jiang Xinyi to be quite an eccentric girl. Despite coming from a wealthy family, she didn't have many airs and graces typical of the rich. These kinds of girls have one noticeable trait: self-confidence. It's an innate confidence that shines from within, always smiling no matter what happens.
After getting familiar with Zhou Yuwen, Jiang Xinyi increasingly showed her girlish nature, speaking her mind and suggesting that Zhou Yuwen's management was too rigid and that establishing a reward and punishment system would improve work efficiency.
Zhou Yuwen also spoke frankly, saying that it was only a part-time job and he didn't need to exploit the workforce like some capitalist.
His remarks somewhat impressed Jiang Xinyi.
"Ah, it seems I was shallow," she remarked.
Zhou Yuwen laughed lightly, "So you've just realized that?"
