Chapter 161 Boyfriend's Work Schedule

After receiving Jiang Shu's text message, Li Yubai left the crowd and went to the less crowded balcony.

"What's wrong?" Li Yubai asked gently.

Jiang Shu was a little embarrassed: "An old man wanted to ask you to donate to charity, but there were too many people on your side, so he didn't have a chance to approach you right away."

"Oh, approximately how much do you need?"

From behind the curtains, a complex voice rang out: "Five, five... thousand."

A pale-faced old man, completely shrouded in a black robe, emerged from behind the curtains like a ghost.

Li Yubai: "..."

He glanced at Jiang Shu: "I'll negotiate with him. Mr. Jiang, you go and have some fun with Ning Yunzhan and the others."

"Are you sure you don't need me here?"

"Five thousand yuan, what do you think?" Li Yubai's tone became more serious. "However, don't talk to strangers casually in the future; there are many bad people outside."

Jiang Shu glanced at the old man.

The old man had kind eyes and spoke with trepidation: "I'm not a bad person."

"Okay, then I'll leave first. You guys chat." Jiang Shu took two steps back, walked out onto the balcony, and her figure gradually blended into the colorful crowd.

balcony.

The atmosphere suddenly froze!

Li Yubai's voice was as cold as ice: "Didn't I warn you not to get close to her, and even more so not to talk to her?"

"She took the initiative to approach me and speak to me." The old man's amiable demeanor vanished from his previous one, replaced by arrogance, coldness, and a chilling aura.

"Don't play word games with me," Li Yubai threatened calmly. "If there's a next time, I will cut off all funds flowing into your area."

The old man's face turned ugly. He snorted but did not argue further.

"Didn't we just give you a large sum of money last month? Why are you asking for money again?" Li Yubai glanced at him, his tone not very friendly.

“We recently got international internet access and are now connected to the world, so money has suddenly become scarce,” the old man said ominously. “If you can’t bear to part with five thousand, four thousand eight will do.”

“Your new master doesn’t have any objections to you coming to me every few days because of money? With his bloodthirsty and brutal nature, do you think he can tolerate you contacting me?”

"A new master? The new master disappeared years ago..." the old man sneered, "Otherwise, why would I have the audacity to seek out your old master?"

Li Yubai frowned slightly: "He disappeared?"

"He's been missing for seven or eight years," the old man hinted. "He hates you so much, maybe he's lurking around you?"

The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point!
Li Yubai lowered his eyes. "I will transfer five thousand to you. I hope this is the last time we meet."

At the end of August, the villa near the Imperial Film Academy was finally renovated. Whether it was out of personal interest or a uniquely Chinese farming gene, the group even cultivated a two-hectare vegetable garden and sowed the first batch of vegetable seeds on the day Jiang Shu enrolled.

At the same time, the villa was officially named: Qingcheng Garden.

In Jiang Shu's words, the most handsome men in the world live here. If this place is not so beautiful, where is it?

On the day Jiang Shu entered the school, no sooner had she left than Ning Yunzhan gathered several men and produced a schedule:

"To enrich your life as a patron and to prevent a sixth adorable pet from appearing in your home, we are now officially launching the companionship contract signed at your birthday party. We will take turns providing services including, but not limited to, sleeping with you, chatting with you, nipping any unwanted romantic advances in the bud, and playing the role of your boyfriend."

Rong Jingchen asked a question he was concerned about: "What if someone like me, who is out on fieldwork every day, has a scheduled assignment but no time to work?"

Ning Yunzhan was very fair: "You can temporarily switch shifts with someone privately."

Rong Jingchen nodded: "Okay."

Ning Yunzhan sent the schedule to everyone's phones: "In first-come, first-served order: Monday - Li Yubai, Tuesday - Feng Li, Wednesday - Yan Yu, Thursday - me, Friday - Rong Jingchen. Saturday is the usual family team-building day, Sunday is free time." Yan Yu glanced at it and immediately stood up: "Today's Wednesday, shall I try out the role first?"

He went into his room, quickly changed into a stylish and trendy outfit that exuded youthful energy, put on a mask and a baseball cap, and strode out the door.

The others looked at each other, then got up and went about their own business.

"I'm going to the company."

"I'm going to the vegetable garden."

……

Beijing Film Academy.

The dormitory for the directing department.

Today is the first day of registration for new students. As a major with a relatively small number of female students, the directing department only occupies three dorm rooms in the entire freshman department.

When Jiang Shu slowly stepped into dormitory 102 with her newly received military training uniform, two classmates were already inside.

One was thin and frail, while the other was 1.7 meters tall and had an arrogant expression.

The petite girl took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, I'm Lu Yaoyao. Didn't you bring a blanket or a sleeping mat?"

Jiang Shu said "Oh": "I don't live on campus, I only use the dormitory during the day to rest."

Lu Yaoyao's eyes widened: "Is this really okay? When I registered, it said that we had to live on campus during military training and had to get up at five in the morning!"

"I can get to the military training site at three in the morning." Jiang Shu looked around. "Is this just the three of us in this dorm?"

"No, no, there's one more big one at the end." Lu Yaoyao lowered her voice, "He's someone with an extremely powerful background, the kind that no one in the entertainment industry can afford to offend. It's said that the head of the directing department personally went to pick him up."

Jiang Shu hummed in agreement and stopped paying attention.

But another haughty girl took it very seriously, raising an eyebrow and saying, "My uncle is a movie star. I'll ask my uncle if he knows that roommate."

"You'd better not ask. Forget your uncle, every movie star in the entertainment industry combined would have to call her 'Little Ancestor'!" Lu Yaoyao paused. "There's a rumor: yesterday, that young actress Guan Muying went back to school to sign in and accidentally bumped into our roommate. I heard that starting last night, all of Guan Muying's recent projects have been withdrawn..."

Jiang Shu wasn't bothered by the name Guan Muying; it was purely out of respect for the gossip itself. She coughed lightly and asked, "How did you offend me?"

Lu Yaoyao shook her head: "I don't know! Classmate, what's your name? Are you a local from Beijing? Which artist or director in the industry are you related to?"

Jiang Shu shook her head: "I'm from Jiangcheng, not someone's family in the entertainment industry."

Another roommate scoffed, "These days, without family connections, you can't make it as a director. Since it's just the start of the semester, you might as well switch majors. Being an actor is better than being a director."

Jiang Shu glanced at her: "No need for you to bother."

After quickly tidying up her bed, Yan Yu received a WeChat message on her phone and sent over a dozen animated emojis:
Canary: [Sister, I'm at the school gate. I brought you lunch.]

Dear patron: [I've heard the school cafeteria is famous; I'd like to try it.]

Canary: [Shall I come over now and have lunch with my sister in the cafeteria?]

Boss: 【…No need, I'll come find you now.】

Jiang Shu put away her phone and walked towards the door. Outside, a delicate figure was being invited into the dormitory by the department head. In the ensuing collision, the delicate girl fell straight into Jiang Shu's arms!
Jiang Shu: "..."

In the frozen atmosphere around them, Jiang Shu casually pushed the person in her arms away with a look of disgust: "Don't try to get into my arms. I only accept the advances of the handsome men in my family, understand?"

The girl in her arms didn't speak, but just stared at her with bright, sparkling eyes.

Jiang Shu coughed lightly, somewhat surprised: "And what are you doing here?"
