"By the way, Brother Cheng, the meeting is about to start. Are you going now or...?" Wang Jian asked, then looked at Si Qing.
He had begged Jiang Cheng all morning to get him to agree to come to this meeting.
Now that he met Si Qing, Wang Jian was a little afraid that Jiang Cheng would suddenly not attend.
Jiang Cheng also glanced at Si Qing upon hearing this.
Today was their first time attending a meeting for the External Liaison Department.
Wang Jian had sent Jiang Cheng many photos of Girls from the External Liaison Department early in the morning.
He strongly invited him to attend, emphasizing that he needed him to come and hold the fort.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had something to do, Si Qing silently put away her phone, a hint of understanding in her smile.
She then said, "You go ahead and be busy. I'll go find my friend first."
Jiang Cheng didn't press the issue, putting away his arrogant demeanor.
However, he suddenly remembered that Si Qing had mentioned treating him to dinner last time.
Changing the subject, he quickly said, "Didn't you say last time you'd treat me to dinner? How about we have dinner together later?"
Si Qing also vaguely remembered this. Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, her heart was conflicted for a moment.
Although she was a foodie, she usually only indulged when someone else was paying.
The high-end food Jiang Cheng took Si Nian to eat last time, she could only stare at through pictures, without tasting a single bite herself.
The delicious food seemed to shimmer before her eyes, making her mouth water.
However, this situation was very different.
Jiang Cheng was saying that she should treat him to dinner.
Although she really wanted to figure out the relationship between Jiang Cheng and Si Nian, treating someone meant paying with her own money.
While conflicted, Si Qing immediately picked up her phone and quickly sent a message to Si Nian: "Send me the money for the meal; he's asking you to treat him."
After sending it, she stared intently at her phone screen, anticipating Si Nian's reply.
However, this time, the screen remained still.
Si Qing couldn't help but show a helpless and awkward smile.
Seeing Jiang Cheng activate his Deep Affection Gaze skill, looking at her intently, Si Qing, for some reason, immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then find me after you're done. I'll go to the Girls' dormitory to find my friend now."
Jiang Cheng nodded at her words, then a flicker of thought crossed his eyes, as if he had remembered something important.
That was, he didn't have Si Qing's contact information. How would he find her later?
He couldn't really go find Si Nian, could he?
If he really went to Si Nian, and Si Nian told him the truth later...
Would he still have that meal with Si Qing?
Jiang Cheng was very satisfied with the current ambiguous situation.
Ambiguity provided an excuse to constantly switch between the Twin Sisters.
If exposed, how could he still have the opportunity to use this excuse to cultivate feelings with Si Qing?
After all, the relationship between sisters is very complex, and even best friends can have fallouts, let alone Twin Sisters.
If not handled well, let alone two portions, you might not even get one bite.
Maintaining contact with both sisters simultaneously could easily make them feel that Jiang Cheng had some impure intentions.
Jiang Cheng's mind was quick and agile. He spoke up, "Could you give me your phone number? I brought a new phone today, and my other phone is at home. Just in case, you can reach me if WeChat has no signal."
Si Qing didn't think much of it upon hearing this.
She had originally wanted to take out her WeChat for Jiang Cheng to scan, but almost simultaneously, she also realized the issue.
So, she readily gave Jiang Cheng her phone number.
After giving the number, Si Qing took the lead and walked towards the Girls' dormitory.
As she walked, she held her phone and sent another message to Si Nian.
She was still thinking about asking Si Nian to transfer her the money for dinner tonight.
However, unexpectedly, one sentence from Si Nian instantly defeated her.
Si Nian: "You still have the nerve to mention meal money? Didn't we agree on eighty yuan for me? Your teacher is about to call roll. If you don't transfer it, I'm leaving."
Si Qing's face immediately fell upon hearing this.
In the prime of youth, everyone seems to unfortunately encounter one or two abnormal teachers, and Si Qing was no exception.
She had joyfully believed that going to university would bring freedom, but reality was so cruel.
For some reason, her major course instructor consistently took attendance, even threatening to fail students at every turn.
While others' university lives allowed them to attend classes based on their mood, her university days were filled with tension and anxiety, unable to relax for a moment.
To skip class, she had to ask her sister to stand in for her.
Si Qing sighed helplessly, filled with remorse.
Under Si Nian's "three-two-one" countdown threat, she finally transferred the money indignantly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng had already settled into Wang Jian's porsche 911.
The two drove grandly towards the External Liaison Department office.
"I specifically parked the car in the parking lot, wanting to be low-key, but who knew it wouldn't work out."
Wang Jian immediately said with a cheeky smile, "Brother Cheng, your face is quite high-profile at school; it's the same whether you drive or not."
Then he started to mock himself, "I'm different. Ever since I changed this car, my luck with women has improved."
"No wonder your monthly living expenses of ten thousand yuan aren't enough."
"Hotels in Modu aren't cheap. Even the Yiheng Hotel usually costs three to five hundred. Those young ladies like to go to the Ritz-Carlton, sigh... I can only go two or three times a month by being frugal, and that's not even counting gas money, food money..."
Seeing that Wang Jian was indeed short on money, Jiang Cheng asked, "Do you have any savings?"
Wang Jian nodded, "I do have some, but not much, about a hundred thousand yuan."
"I didn't realize it, Tycoon! I have an investment company, and the returns are pretty good. If you're short on money, you can transfer it in. Although your money isn't much, you can still get a few thousand yuan in pocket money every month."
Seeing Wang Jian looking at him in astonishment, Jiang Cheng quickly added, "Of course, it's fine if you don't want to. I'm just mentioning it. Anyway, your money isn't much, and my investment company doesn't lack your small investment."
Jiang Cheng said this because he got along quite well with Wang Jian, with no conflicts. He liked the personalities of his three roommates and didn't dislike them.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had misunderstood him, Wang Jian quickly pulled the car over.
He unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over to hug Jiang Cheng, and excitedly said, "Brother Cheng, how could I be unwilling? You are simply my savior. I'm grateful enough that you're willing to let me in on this."
