Chapter 380: Sisters Reconcile_2
During class, Su Qing wasn't paying attention and was scribbling and drawing, so Shen Yu curiously asked Su Qing what she was drawing.
Su Qing smiled and said, "Well, Zhou Yuwen's new house is finished, and he wants to throw a party. He asked me to plan a little something."
"A new house? Doesn't he already have a house? How come he has a new one?"
"Oh, you don't know yet? He bought a villa not long ago."
At this point, Su Qing was somewhat smug.
A certain female classmate listening to the two chatting from the front, like in these trivial classes, Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin rarely attend, but Su Qing would come.
Lately, Su Qing hasn't been staying in the apartment much.
Because living in the apartment was too inconvenient, plus Zhou Yuwen wasn't staying there either.
Thinking it over, Su Qing eventually decided to return to the dorm.
"Zhou Yuwen? Isn't he Yanyan's ex-boyfriend?" a female classmate turned around curiously and asked.
If it were someone else buying a villa, most of the other female classmates would think that person was showing off.
But mentioning Zhou Yuwen didn't make them feel that way.
Because they all knew Zhou Yuwen was a very capable person.
Su Qing said, "Why say Yanyan's ex-boyfriend? Isn't he my ex-boyfriend too?"
Hearing Su Qing's words, everyone chuckled, "Yes, he's your ex-boyfriend too."
For Zhou Yuwen, Zheng Yanyan and Su Qing fought countless times, and initially, people didn't quite get it, but after such a long time, those around them understood.
Because Zhou Yuwen was indeed outstanding, handsome, rich, and talented.
The two fought countless times, but it was unclear who Zhou Yuwen ultimately chose.
But honestly, everyone envied Su Qing a bit.
Because of Zhou Yuwen, Su Qing not only became the little boss of a planning company but also gained some standing in the student council.
They're actually going to hold a housewarming party at the villa?
A few girls couldn't resist wanting to take a look at the design Su Qing made. Young girls naturally love excitement, plus a party at a villa, something they've only seen in TV and movies, they've never actually experienced.
So a female classmate couldn't help but ask, with such a big villa and a party, who are you inviting?
Su Qing said it's just Zhou Yuwen's group of friends.
"And business partners."
"That's a lot of people?" A few female classmates wanted to ask if they could come and play too.
But they were too shy to ask directly. Fortunately, Su Qing was perceptive and read that intention from their eyes, so she said if they wanted to join the fun, they were welcome.
"Really!?"
Hearing this, a group of girls from the neighboring dorm were delighted.
Su Qing said, of course, the more people, the merrier the housewarming!
"Oh my, Su Qing, you're so nice!"
"Yeah, it feels like it's your place. Speaking of which, your relationship with Zhou Yuwen must be really good!"
Su Qing's face blushed slightly listening to this, and she said, "Well, it's alright."
After chatting with the girls, Su Qing asked Shen Yu, "Hey, Shen Yu, are you coming?"
"I... I'm not sure if I'm busy that day..." Shen Yu had to maintain a bit of reservation.
Su Qing laughed directly and said, "What could you possibly be busy with? Join us, I actually need someone to help with the planning. You're coming, right? Zhou Yuwen's inviting a bunch of bosses!"
Shen Yu hesitated slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "Alright, then I'll come by and check it out."
The housewarming party was scheduled for a week later, with this week set aside for preparations. Su Qing led her team in setting up the scene, and Qu Jing and Tao Tian arranged for pretty girls to serve as waitresses.
Initially, there was some friction between Qu Jing and Tao Tian.
But after that night, seeing Tao Tian the next day made things a bit awkward.
Back then, Tao Tian had long hair cascading down, wearing a halter top paired with a white jacket, with a white pleated skirt and over-knee socks.
The idea that "acceptance is beauty" was perfectly embodied by Tao Tian.
After going through setbacks and reconciling with Zhou Yuwen, a touch of maturity was added to Tao Tian's aura, quickly adapting to the HR responsibilities she took over.
Initially, Qu Jing tried to avoid contact with Tao Tian as much as possible.
But their work inevitably needed to intersect.
On this day, because Qu Jing was absent-minded, she was supposed to meet an external student to sign a contract but suddenly remembered at eleven, frantically looking for her at the company's entrance without success.
Thinking everything had gone wrong, an external student spent half a day waiting in vain and would need to make another trip.
But on entering, she found the contract was already signed.
This surprised Qu Jing: "Oh, how come you're here?"
"Sister Jing, I waited outside for you for half a day. Then this sister said it was fine to sign with her." The girl said, gesturing to Tao Tian beside her.
Qu Jing was immediately at a loss for words upon seeing Tao Tian.
Currently, seeing Tao Tian would give Qu Jing a sense of guilt, considering her previous backstabbing, yet Tao Tian repaid her with kindness.
Qu Jing didn't know what to say to Tao Tian.
She ultimately could only respond with "Oh."
By this time, the girl had signed the contract and asked if there was anything else.
Tao Tian said, "Hmm, there should be nothing else. Do you have any questions?"
Tao Tian asked Qu Jing, who dared not meet Tao Tian's eyes, saying, "No, nothing else, you go ahead."
"Alright, that's it. You can find part-time jobs in our group chat. If it fits, we'll tell you where to gather." Tao Tian told the girl.
The girl nodded.
And so, Tao Tian sent her off.
On returning, Tao Tian smiled at Qu Jing and said, "Well, Zhou Yuwen wants me to handle HR, so should I keep this contract?"
"Hmm..." Qu Jing nodded.
"Alright, I'll get busy then?" Tao Tian smiled and winked at Qu Jing.
Qu Jing hesitated a bit and called out to Tao Tian: "Hey!"
Tao Tian turned back, asking if there was anything else.
Qu Jing stammered, finally unable to resist saying, "Last night he said... thank you."
Tao Tian was initially surprised, but seeing Qu Jing's hesitant demeanor, she ultimately said, "Oh, it's fine, that's what friends are for."
Then Tao Tian turned around and walked away, and couldn't help but laugh a genuine, heartfelt laugh.
Watching Tao Tian's departing silhouette, at first, Qu Jing felt a bit awkward, but once the words were out, she felt relieved.
It felt like a big issue had been resolved.
On returning, Qu Jing added Tao Tian on WeChat.
Tao Tian immediately accepted.
Then at noon, Tao Tian proactively messaged: "What's the plan for lunch? Should we pool an order together (playful)?"
Qu Jing: "I actually need to head out in the afternoon; how about we eat out?"
"Hmm, can we manage that? I've got a lot of work left undone."
"It's alright, we'll keep it secret from him."
"Okay (sneaky smile)!"
That afternoon, they went to the mall for lunch, and afterward, browsed the stores, buying clothes like they used to, critiquing pieces, asking what suited whom.
Then they went to buy clothes for Zhou Yuwen.
Tao Tian was uncertain about the size when purchasing underwear.
Qu Jing said she felt it should be this size.
Tao Tian said it should be a bit bigger.
"A bit bigger?"
The two girls whispered about this, and eventually burst into laughter.
From that day on, their relationship began normalizing, and their roommate Minmin had already been employed for two months.
Minmin hadn't landed any particularly good job; the easy ones had low pay, and the high-paying ones were exhausting.
She ended up with an average receptionist role.
She was idly at the reception desk, scrolling through her moments feed.
She suddenly discovered that Qu Jing and Tao Tian had actually posted a moment about shopping with girlfriends.
Minmin at that time.
Was utterly stunned.
