Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 591 Some loudly proclaim their love, while others silently protect.

The three of them didn't chat for long before Huang Bohan was called inside for an interview, leaving Chen Zhe and Wang Changhua outside to brag.

Wu Yu has already gone to the capital. Because she was worried about running into Song Shiwei, she didn't dare tell Wu Yu about the opening of [Royal Tea].

When are you going?

Wang Changhua nudged Chen and asked.

Like an underground party member, Chen looked around first, and only after finding that there were no "dangerous factors" did he speak: "It will probably be tomorrow or the day after, or even tonight. I have other business to attend to in the capital."

"So rushed? Anyway, remember to buy me a ticket."

Wang Changhua said nonchalantly, "I'm going to watch the cosplay girl win the championship!"

"There's no need to be in such a hurry."

Chen asked with a puzzled look, "You can go on the day of the competition, don't you have classes at Guangda University?"

"Oh well, it doesn't matter."

Wang Changhua waved her hand dismissively: "Anyway, I don't like studying. Besides, our school isn't as strict as your Zhongda University. Even if I don't show up for half a month, the teachers might not even notice..."

Chen didn't respond; the reason was rather weak.

Just because you don't like studying, you arrived ten days early?
Finally, Wang Changhua probably realized that she couldn't fool her clever friend with lies.

He then rubbed his nose and stammered, "It's the female tyrant, you know. Cosplay Sister and Professor Guan have been frequently away giving lectures or visiting renowned teachers lately, so she's all alone in the courtyard..."

"Oh~"

Chen suddenly realized that he was worried about Wu Yu.

"She let you go over?"

Chen asked.

"This is not."

Wang Changhua shook her head, a little embarrassed: "I was just overthinking things. I thought she might be scared or bored by herself, and she might not eat properly..."

"Fuck!"

Chen wondered when Wang Changhua had become such a thoughtful and warm-hearted man. What happened to his previous labels of "pretentious, flamboyant, and fearless"?
Seeing the ambiguous smile on her best friend's face, Wang Changhua said in a "fuming" tone, "What are you laughing at? Don't you usually care about Yu Meiren or Song Xiaohua?"

After saying that, Wang Changhua was also stunned for a moment.

Why are we all one-on-one, but Chen is one-on-two?

Director Chen blushed slightly, pretending not to hear, and retorted, "We're a couple. What's your relationship with Wu Yu?"

"we are……"

Wang Changhua choked for a moment, then shook her wrist, revealing a colorful woven rope bracelet.

"what is this?"

Chen asked.

"It was given to me by the female Tyrannosaurus Rex during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Wang Changhua tugged at the end of the string: "She said she originally only planned to buy one, but this one is a free gift from the store. If I don't want to wear it, I can throw it away."

"Cut~"

Chen scoffed, "Childish tricks, childish pretense."

"Whatever you say."

Wang Changhua shrugged happily.

Chen Zhe really couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

Tiyu West Road is teeming with people, and the hustle and bustle acts as a moving backdrop, highlighting one kind of happiness after another.

There are thousands of kinds of love in the world; some people shout "I love you!" while others silently protect you.

Some people hide their "concern" in their "dislike" and like to express it through arguing and bickering.

……

Around noon, the Yangcheng Evening News' interview with Royal Tea had ended.

Aside from a slight regret that she didn't get to meet Chen Zhe's girlfriend, Deng Zhi was quite satisfied with the interview.

Even the title has been drafted:
A top student from South China University of Technology has a new entrepreneurial idea: he opened a "Tea Shop for Relieving Worries" in Tiyu West.

It not only reflects Huang Baihan's identity as a student at South China University of Technology, but also highlights the function of the "Royal Tea" beverage, making it both literary and eye-catching.

Carrying the small gifts given to her by Huang Bohan and Mou Jiawen, Deng Zhi prepared to get into the car and return to the TV station.

Chen suddenly remembered something, quickly walked to his car, took out a package and handed it over.

The package was unremarkable, and Deng Zhi's assistant took it casually, treating it as just an ordinary thank-you gift.

However, as the vehicles merged into the congested inner ring road, the assistant opened the package and couldn't help but let out a startled "Ah!"

A flash of blue light suddenly caught my eye.

These are a pair of classic Chanel diamond stud earrings, now lying quietly on a black velvet cushion. The light in the carriage is excellent, and the small diamonds refract tiny, sparkling starlight as they sway.

Deng Zhi immediately called Chen Zhe.

“When Sister Zhizhi came to our area for an interview last time, she accidentally lost an earring in the chaos, and I’ve felt really bad about it ever since.”

Before Deng Zhi could ask any further questions, Chen explained gently, "I just happened to see this pair a while ago and thought the style suited your temperament perfectly. It's nothing expensive; consider it a token of our goodwill."

"This isn't valuable? You really think your sister's a fool?"

Deng Zhi frowned and said, "Let's not be so polite between us. Stay where you are, I'll take it back to you."

"I've already left the bubble tea shop, and I probably won't be in Guangzhou for the rest of the month." Chen said with a smile, "Sister Zhizhi, please accept it, otherwise I'll keep thinking about it."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Deng Zhi turned her head and looked around. The van was stuck on the inner ring road, unable to move forward or backward. There was no use in being anxious.

Her gaze fell back on the blue earring beside her, which had already been taken apart. Deng Zhi couldn't help but sigh and said to her assistant, "Why do you accept things without even looking at them carefully?"

The assistant protested, "Mr. Chen is your brother. If I were to examine him, it would seem rather unethical. Besides..."

The assistant knew that Deng Zhi, as a leader, was quite reasonable in all aspects except for being strict about work.

She carefully picked up an earring and tried it on Deng Zhi's earlobe, muttering something under her breath:
"Besides, you did lose those earrings during the interview recap. They've replaced them with a new pair, so just keep them. Mr. Chen has plenty of money!"

"nerve!"

Deng Zhi turned her ear away to stop her assistant from messing around, and put the earring box into her bag: "I'll send it back to him when he returns to Guangzhou."

Back at the newspaper office, Deng Zhi treated the incident as just a minor episode and threw herself back into her busy work.

As usual, I worked overtime until around 10 p.m. before dragging my slightly tired steps toward the parking lot.

Driving home, under the warm yellow light, my mother, Li Lanxin, was watching the news in the living room.

"I'm back. You should get some rest."

Deng Zhi casually placed her small bag on the table and went into the bathroom to wash her face and refresh herself.

Have you eaten yet?

Li Lanxin asked with concern.

"No, I'm not that hungry at mealtimes."

After washing her hands, Deng Zhi went straight to the kitchen: "I can just heat up some leftovers."

"Your workplace has a cafeteria, why are you always going hungry?"

I could hear my mother's nagging voice.

Deng Zhi had gotten used to it and turned a deaf ear.

Li Lanxin was used to it. While wiping the table, she moved her daughter's small bag to the shoe cabinet so that she could take it with her when she went out the next morning.

Suddenly, a delicate little box in the bag caught my attention.

Li Lanxin glanced at Deng Zhi, who was busy heating up the dishes, and gently opened the box. A dazzling light quietly came into view. She was slightly taken aback, but then put it back in its place without making a sound.

Don't work too hard.

Li Lanxin walked to the kitchen door and earnestly lectured, "Learn from other girls, go shopping, date. I'm really afraid I won't be able to hold my grandson when I close my eyes on the day I die..."

"I know~I know~"

Deng Zhi thought it was just another old story. She was so tired of being pressured to get married that she didn't even dare to go back to her hometown for the Mid-Autumn Festival, fearing that she would be set up on blind dates.

"You agree so readily, but then you forget about it the next day!"

Li Lanxin feigned displeasure, then suddenly changed the subject: "Then let me ask you, how long has it been since you went shopping?"

"I've been so busy with work lately, I haven't had time to go shopping."

Deng Zhi replied casually, "Once I'm done with my work, I'll definitely go shopping and maybe even go on a blind date to find a son-in-law that will satisfy you, sir."

"Humph!"

Li Lanxin snorted coldly, but when she walked back to the bedroom, she smiled broadly.

No time to go shopping?

Where did those earrings in the bag come from?

It's still a Chanel brand.

Women rarely give each other such expensive gifts; it must be... a gift from a man.

In Li Lanxin's eyes, this was a revolutionary step forward! This stubborn girl used to refuse any gifts from anyone, but now she has finally come to her senses.

Fearing her daughter would be offended, Li Lanxin suppressed the urge to press for answers, though she couldn't help but wonder:
Is he a young talent from the Organization Department?
Or is he a doctoral resident at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University?
……

At that moment, a flight from Guangzhou landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Chen Zhe, the "gift-giver" who was being thought of from afar, was walking out of the covered bridge with Wang Changhua and her secretary Zhu Xiuxiu.

A gust of dry, cold air from the north suddenly hit him, and Chen shrank his neck and asked, "Where are my warm clothes? Get them out quickly!"

"Did not bring!"

The secretary said crisply.

"What?"

Chen asked incredulously, "Big sister, don't you check the temperature before you go on a business trip? You expect me to walk in an 8-degree wind wearing short sleeves?"

"No hurries!"

The secretary said matter-of-factly, "Xianmei said she prepared a sweater for you, so I don't have to go through the hassle of carrying it around!"

"Oh, that's right."

Chen then remembered that Yu Baibai had been knitting him a sweater when she had nothing to do in the evenings recently.
