Back to the prime of life

Chapter 194 Old acquaintance
Some say that university is a large-scale reality show organized by society and parents for all college students, during which you will interact equally with people from any family.

Four years later, the show ended, and most people went back to where they came from.

Just as Feng Sixing was thinking at that moment, when they met and chatted back then, they wouldn't have had so many thoughts.

Unlike now, as a girl, she has to take the initiative, figure out if the other person has time, worry about being rejected, and worry about being looked down upon.

With so many complex emotions swirling around her, how could she not look out the window at the hurried pedestrians and sigh, "Those were the good old days"?

However, Lu Changge didn't actually have such complicated thoughts. He was still thinking that the other party was Xu Qiuxue's good friend. She had come all the way to Jiangzhou. If he didn't know, he would let it go. But since he did know, it would be awkward not to entertain her.

Even for private friends like these, he doesn't care about the location and still takes them to Old Zhao's place in the city center.

In spring, Jiangzhou is a vibrant place with its small bridges, flowing water, and blooming flowers.

Old Zhao, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, seemed to have gotten younger recently. The Zhao Family Gate Tower he runs has also been renovated, especially the small private rooms by the river, which are filled with antique wooden furniture and have a really nice ambiance.

He became even more excited when he saw Lu Changge. After all, anyone who had watched TV should know what was going on, so without saying a word, he led him to the best private room.

His words were full of enthusiasm.

Feng Sixing, who was following behind, had been agonizing over another issue. After sitting down, he said, "Our company's boss somehow found out that Xingkong Real Estate has a big project and he's really keen on getting it. Now that you're the boss, you're the client I need to win over, so I have to treat you today."

Lu Changge was amused by her and said, "It's already past six o'clock, why do you smell so strongly of class?"

"Class flavor?"

"It's just like being at work."

"Oh." Feng Sixing pinched her earlobe and smiled shyly. The main reason was that she was familiar with Xu Qiuxue, not Lu Changge. If it were Xu Qiuxue, she could be more casual.

"By the way, aren't you a designer? Why are you doing business management?"

Feng Sixing said with distress, "Isn't it because the boss knows that I am an alumnus of President Wang's brother and we know each other in private? So he specifically asked me to be included. Actually, I don't know anything about these things."

"Well, there's really no way to avoid it. But you can be more open with me, stop calling me 'boss' all the time. I'm just a small shareholder, and I don't have any say in things like which design institute to commission."

Lu Changge was being modest; after saying that, he even poured tea for the lady in a very gentlemanly manner.

But Feng Sixing isn't stupid; how could he not have a say? It can only be said that the other party is more cultured.

After working in the workforce for a few months, you'll discover that you encounter all sorts of people. One typical type is the boastful one, who confidently proclaims, "I can handle this, I can manage that." But in reality? They can accomplish very few things.

There are also those like the one she's encountered now, who clearly have the ability, but are always rude and dismissive.

Between the two, she still admired Lu Changge more.

“It’s okay, I won’t make things difficult for you. I’m just a designer, a worker. It’s their job to bring people to us, and it’s our job to retain clients with our work.”

Lu Changge was somewhat surprised, "You haven't been out of school for long, have you? You're already able to handle large-scale designs?"

Feng Sixing chuckled dryly and mocked himself, "No way. For so long, I've been designing either men's or women's restrooms. There's no hope. Even if we do manage to win the Starry Sky Real Estate project, I probably won't get a chance in the end. Honestly, after working here for a few months, I realize how incredible what you're doing is. I'm in for a tough time."

Lu Changge encouraged, "Everyone goes through a period like this, when nobody cares, you don't know where you're headed, it's tough but you don't gain anything. But only by going through it can you be transformed." "Come on, haven't you been through that?"

Just then, there was a knock on the door. It was Old Zhao coming over to deliver some cold dishes and snacks.

Feng Sixing noticed that the boss was really enthusiastic towards him. "Looks like you come here often."

"Yes, I know the owner here. I know that his ingredients are sourced from green and healthy sources, and the taste is also wonderful, so I bring him here when I have people who need to be treated well."

Feng Sixing pursed his lips, a smile playing on his lips.

"By the way, I might settle down in Jiangzhou in the future."

"really?"

"Yes, my family is planning to buy me a small house here first."

Lu Changge said, "That's great! We can keep in touch more often from now on. And there's a high chance that Qiu Xue will be working in Jiangzhou too, so you'll be able to see each other even more frequently."

Hearing this, Feng Sixing couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, and he glanced at Lu Changge.

Thinking to himself, this guy is already soaring to great heights, but he and I are not proper alumni after all, and we have rarely met before, mostly because of Xu Qiuxue.

It's also because of Xu Qiuxue that once she comes over, won't I be able to have a closer relationship with Lu Changge?

Therefore, there's no need to rush into this project. In the long run, if this project doesn't work out, there will always be opportunities in the next project and the one after that.

It also saves me, a graduate of a prestigious university, from spending all my time drawing toilets in front of the computer.

Thinking of this, she stopped being coy and said directly, "You said we should keep in touch, so I won't be polite. I'll have to rely on Boss Lu for my future happiness."

"Hey, don't say that."

However, Feng Sixing was not joking.

After chatting for a while, Feng Sixing called Xu Qiuxue. He sounded happy and asked in the cool night breeze, "When are you coming to Jiangzhou? I'm really looking forward to seeing you."

Xu Qiuxue was puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, I just followed my boss on business trips and ended up at your brother's company." Feng Sixing sighed slightly. "Your brother is really a strange guy, isn't he? He's not that old, but he has a lot of presence. I was quite nervous when we first met."

"Haha. You saw him?"

"I met him. He's one of the owners of Starry Sky Real Estate now, someone even my boss has to curry favor with! Tsk tsk, it's true what they say, comparisons are odious. I used to think he was quite naive, but seeing him again this time, I find him to be very manly and quite handsome."

Xu Qiuxue was speechless and laughed weakly, "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you afraid I'll tell him again?"

"Go ahead and tell him, it's not like I'm scolding him, I'm praising him. How could praising someone be wrong?" Feng Sixing tapped his chin, several thoughts flashing through his mind. "It's a pity your brother already has a girlfriend, otherwise, I would definitely become your sister-in-law!"
