TISHW 68




 Chapter 68 Different

Jiang Yu lived very comfortably in Zhao Shunong’s place. Although Qin Shiyu's kind attitude in Wuyayuan relieved her of the burden of being dependent on others, the other bedroom and the study reminded her of the existence of a male roommate. She needed to always be on guard against the other party coming back.

Now she had no worries at all. After taking a shower, she could wrap herself in a bath towel and go back to the bedroom. If she didn’t want to tidy things up, she could leave them for later. In the morning, she could sleep until naturally waking up and then walk around the property in her pajamas. She could also hang out alone in the study and work.

In the middle of the afternoon, Jiang Yu casually picked up a book and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. After reading for a while, she looked up at the scenery outside the window, reached for the milk tea in front of her, and took a sip. Tsk, don't get too comfortable.

This was the day she has dreamed of.

Of course, owning her own property would be even more perfect. En, this was her next goal.

Jiang Yu didn't dare to think about it before. After all, when she came to this world, she didn't have any good cards. She could only make do with ensuring her life first. But Zhao Shunong's reminder that day made her think that maybe she could try harder?

The phone rang. Looking down at the message from Ye Yuanyu, she couldn't help but smile. Early on Friday morning, she packed her bags and flew to City C with great enthusiasm.

Jiang Yu was still a little sleepy after getting off the plane. She usually took the noon flight and arrived in City C around three in the afternoon. It was easier to catch the plane and get off the plane. Today she and Ye Yuanyu had something to talk about, so she caught the earliest flight over.

After taking a taxi all the way to the hotel, she happened to bump into Ye Yuanyu who had come over by high-speed train. Xiang Chen was also present.

Ye Yuanyu joked while taking the room card, "With ready-made lawyers, we can save a lot of legal fees."

Xiang Chen helped Jiang Yu carry her luggage, "Everyone present has a share. I'm here to get my paw in oil content. I want to share."

Jiang Yu laughed. It seemed that the relationship between the two was very good in private.

After putting away their luggage and refreshing up a little, the three of them made an appointment at the coffee shop downstairs. Ye Yuanyu was a very efficient person. When he went back on Sunday, he went to find a professional team to evaluate the code given by Jiang Yu. Now he directly took charge, "There are two modes. One is that I buy it out directly. The market price is about 50,000."

"The other is shares. My plan is to put the basic version directly into the application market. A paid model will be used and for each copy sold, I’ll give you 15% of the revenue . Secondly, it will target the private needs of high-end users. Their payments will be higher. You will be given 20% of this revenue, but you are responsible for regular maintenance and other private functional upgrades. Of course, if more development and design are involved, the cost will be calculated separately.”

"Which one do you think is suitable?"

If it were half a month ago, Jiang Yu, who was short of money, would have chosen the first buyout mode. Now she decisively chose the steady stream.

Especially after the payment for the fourth episode of "All Rounder 3" arrived. It was nearly double that of the second episode. Now she had no financial burden at all and could even be called a little rich woman.

Then of course she chose the shares. Maybe 50,000 will take a year to earn. It was certainly better to have 50,000 or more every year.

Ye Yuanyu was in a good mood. This project was only in the preparatory stage at the moment. Jiang Yu's choice represented her trust in him.

After confirming the cooperation model, it was time to discuss the details. Ye Yuanyu brought the project plan. After reading it, Jiang Yu couldn't help sigh, as expected of the male protagonist. He was indeed brilliant.

There was needless to say how Ye Yuanyu's character was. Of course, Jiang Yu's skills were there. Anyone with a little knowledge wouldn’t treat her badly. So Lawyer Xiang Chen didn't have to verify it with anyone and only needed to help them think of all the details and do a notarization. 

The two of them had happy cooperation. Xiang Chen, who helped them finish the contract, noticed that Jiang Yu had a very high level of computer skills and asked casually, "When did you learn computer science?"

Ye Yuanyu was curious, "The evaluation team thought I found someone from the School of Computer Science in our school to do it."

Xiang Chen saw Jiang Yu's instant goody expression and he grinned, "Don't fool us with that Ph. D in Uni Q in a dream."

Jiang Yu paused for a moment, "En, if you think Uni Q isn’t enough, Uni B is fine."

Xiang Chen shook his head and laughed. Discerning that she didn't want to say anything, he went along, "I thought you have a Ph.D. in finance."

Jiang Yu said, "I'm good at finance. How about I recommend stocks to you?"

Ye Yuanyu interjected lightly, "Don't need me to analyze it for you?"

Jiang Yu suddenly remembered that the original owner gave Xiang Chen the stocks recommended by Ye Yuanyu and she couldn't help wanting to cover her face.

It was a rare sight to see her deflated. Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen looked at each other and grinned at the same time. Jiang Yu couldn't help smiling either.

When the three of them thought about what happened before, they felt it was ridiculous and amusing.

Ye Yuanyu checked the time, "Let's go have dinner together to celebrate our cooperation and have a feast."

Ye Yuanyu was treating them. The three of them went to a private restaurant with a good environment. The antique Chinese decoration was very beautiful; with elegant bamboo partitions and a fish pond in the lobby. They chose a table next to the rail on the second floor to sit down.

Xiang Chen helped Jiang Yu pull out the chair, while Ye Yuanyu took a picture of the whole group and sent it to the 【All Rounder Team】 group chat, "Let’s tease them a bit. Who told them both to arrive late."

Xiang Chen grinned, "You don't mind them making a fuss when they come." 

As he said this, he picked up the menu and took a picture of the big signature dish on it and sent it out.

As expected, Jian Cang and Shu Hua screamed:

The hard-working genius: 【Waa, you guys are going too far! Eating delicious food behind our backs? ! 】

The talented female calligrapher: 【I don’t care! I want to eat too. Wait, I’ll be there soon! 】

The talented female calligrapher: 【What’s the address? I'll march there at once. 】

The hard-working genius: 【I got on the high-speed rail. Is the food served there slow? The kind that can wait for two or three hours... 】

Ye Yuanyu sent them the location. Seeing the messages constantly popping up, he said with disdain, "These two people can make as much noise as ten people."

Jiang Yu looked at him speechlessly. Who was it who provoked them?

Afterward, she picked up her phone and took a photo of the freshly served cold dishes and sent it to the group...

In the arrivals hall of the airport, Xiao Ding, the new assistant Xu Lehua sent to Qin Shiyu, was on a call to report the situation, "...En, he hasn't left the airport yet. Right here in the exit passage... No, he's hiding in the corner."

"Not leaving and hiding in a corner after getting off the plane? Are you sure?" Xu Lehua was puzzled, "There are too many fans and you can't get out?"

Xiao Ding said, "That's not it. We arrived early. Fans probably think we will arrive in the afternoon. There aren’t many people here now."

Xu Lehua was puzzled, "He was rushing to catch up with the schedule early this morning, and did not participate in the final live broadcast with the crew to catch the flight to City C. Didn't he have something important?"

Xiao Ding didn't know how to explain it, "I thought so too. That was why we were ready to leave as soon as we got off the plane. But Elder Brother Yu said there was no rush and that we would have to wait for a while. Afterward, we waited."

"So what does he want to do?" Xu Lehua said, "Ask him."

The tall man who was about 1.8 meters tall said timidly, "I don't dare. Elder Brother Yu doesn't seem to like people asking about his privacy. Moreover, during our training, we were told that assistants should keep their mouths shut. Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked or listen when they shouldn't.”

Xu Lehua: ……..  

"That’s right, that's why he picked you." Xu Lehua said earnestly, "But as his assistant, you have to know what you should know. If you ask him now, the worst result is that you fire him and replace him with a better boss."

Xiao Ding:......

This was the first time he heard someone talk about being fired in such a refreshing and refined way.

Xiao Ding felt that Elder Brother Xu was a little too worried, "Maybe he is waiting for someone."

"How could he be waiting for someone..." Reaching here, Xu Lehua suddenly thought of something and asked, "Look at what time the flight from City B will land?" 

Was he waiting for Jiang Yu?

Just as Xiao Ding was about to speak, Qin Shiyu suddenly dragged his suitcase and walked out, "Let's go."

Xiao Ding hurriedly said to the phone, "It seems that he is no longer waiting for anyone. We are going out! Elder Brother Yu, wait for me!"

Xu Lehua looked at the hung up phone and muttered, "I said I should go with him and he didn't let me. I can't tell what he is thinking unless I'm here."

For one moment, he assumed Qin Shiyu was waiting for Jiang Yu. In that case, it wouldn’t be a friend boundary. Unfortunately, he was happy in vain and thought he could see Qin Shiyu's jokes.

Sure enough, it was still impossible for Qin Shiyu to fall in love...

Qin Shiyu looked at the photo Jiang Yu sent in the WeChat group and was a little confused as to why she wasn't on the plane. He hesitated and decided to ask her directly if she had arrived or not yet. Posting the photo in the group should mean that he could ask.

However, before he finished typing, Shu Hua appeared with a howl: 【Bigshot, you are so bad. They only sent out menus, while you sent out the dishes directly! 】

Qin Shiyu gave a pause. They?

The hard-working genius: 【I can’t make it. Shu Hua, if you try harder, you should be able to eat their leftovers. 】

The talented female calligrapher: 【Hey, why is the address that was just sent missing? 】

The hard-working genius: 【Hey, it seemed that it has jumped into a different crowd. 】

Sure enough, they had been chatting behind his back. Qin Shiyu tapped his phone with his fingers.

Only then did Jiang Yu realize that she had sent the wrong group.

They had a few group chats. On her side were 【All Rounder Team 】, 【All Rounder Squad 】 and 【All-rounder Investigator 】.

【All Rounder Investigator 】 was their work group. In addition to the six of them, for example, Zhou Feifei was in it after she joined later.

【All Rounder Team 】 were six regular guests; 【All Rounder Squad 】 were them five except Qin Shiyu. After all, Qin Shiyu was more senior than them and didn’t seem easy to get close to. Lively Shu Hua and Jian Cang formed another group in order to chat happily.

There were many messy friends of the original owner on her phone and messages came in every day. But because school hadn't started yet, she wasn’t sure which people could be deleted and which couldn‘t be deleted. So she kept them for now and only deleted a few people she knew. Pinned to the top included 【All Rounder Team 】 and 【All Rounder Squad 】 group chats.

Unexpectedly, she clicked the wrong button when she took the photo and sent it to the group of six.

Shu Hua quickly returned to their group of five people:

【Bigshot, come here to post. Don’t disturb Qin Shiyu. 】

Jian Cang said: 【Maybe Bigshot Yu has turned on Do Not Disturb messages and can’t see it at all. Let’s go back to chat here. It’s stressful to chat there. 】

As a result, after they finished talking, Qin Shiyu in the group of six sent a message: 【Where are you chatting? 】

The group were startled. Shu Hua said to the group of five: "Heaven, scared me. How can he know everything?" 】

The hard-working genius: 【It feels like it was said in my ears. I almost got goosebumps. 】

Xiang Chen laughed, "Why does it suddenly feel guilt ridden?"

Qin Shiyu said again: 【Come here to chat. 】

【Where is the restaurant located? 】

Xiang Chen was surprised, "What does this mean? Qin Shiyu is coming?"

Except during the show, he never participated in their gatherings.

Ye Yuanyu was surprised, but also delighted, "Quickly tell him the location and let him come."

So Xiang Chen went back to six people chat and posted: 【Qin Shiyu, are you in C city? Let's eat together. 】

Wield Absolute Power: 【Okay, I'll be there in a moment. 】

At the same time, Shu Hua received a message from Qin Shiyu: 【What were you guys talking about? 】

Shu Hua thought he was worried that he couldn't keep up with everyone's pace. Although she was surprised that he would be so attentive, she still replied: "It's nothing, they were showing off their delicious food." 】

Then she sent him two photos.

The indifferent Qin Shiyu paused when he saw one of the pictures. He zoomed in with his slender fingers and slowly narrowed his eyes while looking at the picture of Xiang Chen holding Jiang Yu's chair...

【But, are you really coming to dinner with us? 】

Qin Shiyu looked at the message sent by Shu Hua. Eating was indeed the fastest social activity that could bring people closer together.

Jiang Yu was such an unsociable person. After having dinner with them twice, she started chatting with them behind his back...

Shortly later, Qin Shiyu clicked on Jiang Yu's dialog box...

【Does this count as being excluded by the small group? 】Following behind was an aggrieved gif.

Jiang Yu couldn't help being amused when she saw the message Qin Shiyu sent her. If she hadn't known that he had no feelings, she would have felt that he was aggrieved.

Qin Shiyu stared at the "typing" sign at the top of the phone and smiled. Showing weakness appropriately was a good way to close the distance.

【Don’t be ridiculous, six people can form 42 groups according to different arrangements and combinations. Out of them, you can be included in 22 groups. Do you want to join them all? 】

Qin Shiyu:......

She comforted him: 【I only have three. 】

Qin Shiyu:......

But he only had two.
