Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Ever since starting her internship, Minmin's life has basically been a routine between work and home. Although she sometimes goes out for dinner with her colleagues, she has become disconnected from school until now. According to Tao Tian, Zhou Yuwen not only bought a villa but the company he started earlier is now being fiercely contested by Meituan and Ele.me.

Minmin knows Meituan and Ele.me because she often orders takeout to her office. Given the price war between the two, meals usually cost just two or three yuan per order. Every time Minmin eats takeout, she marvels to herself that Meituan and Ele.me are truly wealthy companies for essentially treating her to meals.

Now she's hearing that these two affluent companies are willing to spend twenty million to acquire Zhou Yuwen's company.

Minmin is left speechless with astonishment.

She knew Zhou Yuwen was talented and had some money, apparently earning a few million from writing. But how, after not seeing him for a few months, is his business worth tens of millions?

Moreover, he not only bought a villa but is also throwing a warming party? Hiring people to decorate the place and students from the Southern Art Academy to serve as waitstaff.

Every word from Tao Tian is enough to leave Minmin in shock. She doesn't understand why Zhou Yuwen would spend so much money on such flashy things.

Upon hearing this, Qu Jing couldn't help but sneer, thinking how inexperienced Minmin is.

It's because the guests are different.

"The attendees for this party include not only Zhou Yuwen's close friends but also various company executives, like those from Meituan and Ele.me. High-level managers from these companies in Jinling will be there," Qu Jing explained.

Minmin nods thoughtfully. Besides saying how impressive it is, she seems to have nothing else to add.

"The companies are attending the party not for fun—they mainly want to negotiate a satisfactory deal with Zhou Yuwen. So we obviously can't hold a shabby event, and after all, the expenses will be included in the acquisition price," Qu Jing said while stretching lazily and told Tao Tian, sitting across from her, "I still have a batch of waitstaff to select, keep her company a bit longer."

"Then I won't keep you," Qu Jing said to Minmin, and she turned to leave.

At this moment, Minmin truly feels the stratified disparity that comes with graduation. Logically, she is the first among her group to step into society, yet why does she feel her peers are faring better than her?

Suddenly, recalling the topic Qu Jing and Tao Tian were discussing moments ago, which was that many girls are desperate to attend Zhou Yuwen's villa party.

Minmin suddenly became interested. She asked Tao Tian how much the party service paid per shift.

Tao Tian said, "Originally, Zhou Yuwen set it at five hundred, but Qu Jing reduced it to four hundred. Even so, many people signed up."

"Four hundred is quite high. I remember when we did part-time jobs, we'd jump at two or three hundred!" Minmin felt Qu Jing was right.

Tao Tian laughed.

Then Minmin started speaking in an awkward tone. She scratched her cheek uneasily, saying, "Well, Tiantian, could I ask you a favor?"

"What?" Tao Tian asked curiously.

"Well... um..." Minmin hesitated for a long time before blurting out, "Actually, I'm working as a receptionist now, and my salary, though slightly higher than other interns, isn't enough because I'm renting a place on my own, and the expenses are too high. Plus, because of Zhou Yuwen's rules, interns can't compete for gig work with other students in the part-time group, so I can't take on extra jobs. Do you think you could pull some strings and let me earn some pocket money at Zhou Yuwen's villa party?"

"Huh? But, the party is on a workday," Tao Tian said.

"That's fine. I can take a day off. At most, I'll lose two hundred yuan, but working at Zhou Yuwen's place can earn me four hundred. That means I'd still make two hundred extra. Besides, I've never attended such a party before—I want to see what it's like. Tiantian, please, please, let me have a look at the world!"

Minmin clasped her hands together playfully, pleading with Tao Tian.

Tao Tian thought Minmin's request was rather odd because the rule in the part-time group clearly stated that interns should voluntarily leave the group. If she let Minmin go, wouldn't that be abusing her power?

Despite being favored by Zhou Yuwen, Tao Tian is still very cautious around him, afraid of doing anything that might displease him.

Tao Tian thought, if Minmin needed money, she could just give her four hundred yuan directly.

Yet Minmin, seeing that Tao Tian seemed unwilling, immediately pouted and said that Tao Tian had forgotten about her good friends now that she's enjoying a good life.

"You've found your ideal man, live in a three-bedroom house, drive a Mercedes, but your gal pal still rides the subway. This is a rare opportunity; can't you help me out, Tiantian? Maybe I'll also meet a dashing man like Zhou Yuwen!"

"Well..."

Tao Tian hesitated a little, seeing Minmin was about to get upset. Finally, she said, "Alright then, but you have to promise me, don't be too flashy!"

"Don't worry! I won't show off!"

So, the matter was settled like that. Delighted by the turn of events, Minmin even dreamed happily that night, clinging to Tao Tian and endlessly flattering her.
