Chapter 380: Sisters Reconcile
"Back when we were in school, our teacher used to say, 'Luck is a type of skill too.' Xiao Yong, I feel like you have a natural hostility toward your cousin."
Lu Wanting could see it clearly, and before she even finished speaking, Peng Xiaoyong anxiously wanted to deny it.
But before he could speak, Lu Wanting said, "Don't rush to deny it. I think no matter how you see it, your cousin is now somewhat famous in the Jinling business circle, and since you've just arrived in Jinling, you can definitely use this connection to network with better contacts. It's also a resource for you; why don't you want to seize the opportunity?"
Peng Xiaoyong remained silent for a while, unsure how to explain to Lu Wanting. He just felt indignant because even as a child, Zhou Yuwen's family situation was better than his own.
When he was young, his mother told him that, despite his cousin's wealth, if he studied diligently, he'd definitely surpass his cousin in the future.
And now?
He's still struggling in the workplace, even having to weigh cost-effectiveness when renting an apartment, ending up with a pitifully small place, while his cousin bought a large villa?
Is this what his mother meant by 'if you study hard, you'll have everything you deserve'?
Peng Xiaoyong felt really disgruntled.
Lu Wanting told Peng Xiaoyong that objective facts don't change according to one's material conditions.
But you have to learn to use this relationship.
Peng Xiaoyong was silent, unwilling to go.
Lu Wanting said, "Then, just accompany me?"
"?" Peng Xiaoyong was stunned. He didn't understand why Lu Wanting wanted to go if he didn't.
Lu Wanting told Peng Xiaoyong that her company had business dealings with Zhou Yuwen, and her boss wanted her to interact with him more.
"Work is work, where does a boss have the right to tell you to approach others for work?" Peng Xiaoyong immediately frowned.
Lu Wanting smiled and said, "Isn't this just fortuitous?"
"Just happened to think I'm his 'cousin-in-law'."
Lu Wanting was stating the truth, with her somewhat playful nature, she winked at Peng Xiaoyong while saying this.
For a moment, Peng Xiaoyong was charmed by Lu Wanting's cuteness, and after a moment of silence, he finally nodded and said, "Alright then."
Zhou Yuwen originally wanted to throw a simple housewarming party, but Zhu Hong mentioned that many people wanted to attend and get to know him.
Additionally, since Jiang Xinyi and Liu Jing were invited, and Liu Jing is the type of elder who really likes Zhou Yuwen, she was very happy about his accomplishments in Jinling and called some relatives and friends, inviting them over for a meal and chat.
"Oh, it's like this, Xinyi's boyfriend just bought a villa, freshly renovated, housewarming party. I figured you guys didn't have much going on, so you could come over and check it out. With food and drinks, I'm sure you'll be satisfied, after all, I'm the one organizing it."
If it were Zhou Yuwen, perhaps he would throw a party akin to trying to mimic something poorly, but here, Liu Jing and her daughter were preparing the ingredients and even hired several Michelin chefs.
Upon hearing Liu Jing's invitation, her friends couldn't help but be curious, "Looks like you've found a great catch; he hasn't even married yet, and he's already so invested?"
"Not bad, just so-so." Liu Jing sat on the sofa and said with a seemingly indifferent tone.
However, with just a few words, she couldn't help revealing everything about Zhou Yuwen.
The guy isn't a second-generation rich; he's a self-made entrepreneur.
Only nineteen years old.
"He's the one doing student food delivery, really popular recently, named Zhou Yuwen."
"Zhou Yuwen? Oh my, really? He's your daughter's boyfriend?"
"Isn't he only nineteen?"
Although the university student food delivery hasn't been sold yet, in these recent days, it has gained some fame in Jinling, mainly because traditional industry bigwigs felt this kid was quite lucky.
In a few months, he built a food delivery group, and it's suddenly going to sell for twenty-five million.
Everyone's checking it out.
Originally wondering how this young man's background was so clean.
Now upon hearing, turned out it's your Liu Jing's son-in-law?
But isn't your daughter twenty-six? Oh my! Seven years apart?
"What seven years! My daughter's twenty-fifth birthday hasn't happened yet, okay!? My daughter's only twenty-four!"
"Oh really~"
Liu Jing's social circle is quite broad, consisting of true friends, business friends, and naturally those who enjoy gossip and are petty.
These people speak frankly, saying your daughter lucked out!
Liu Jing didn't say much, just asking if these friends would come.
"We'll come, of course! Oh my, buying a villa at nineteen, when my husband was nineteen, we were still living in a shanty!"
"Times are different now."
Just like that, the simple housewarming turned into a comprehensive party, requiring a focus on decor and other details. Fortunately, Zhou Yuwen had a dedicated company, with Su Qing handling the planning, then getting students to set up at cost price, also hiring some pretty female students to be receptionists, and additionally inviting some girls from the Southern Art School to sing and play instruments.
Zhou Yuwen also explained to a few girls that most attendees might be business acquaintances, so they might have to work a bit hard.
Hearing this would help Zhou Yuwen, Su Qing was naturally very diligent.
It's just that some students showed a very surprised expression upon knowing that Zhou Yuwen had bought a villa, like Shen Yu for example.
