Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 342 Zeng Mi's Possible Life

Everyone parted in high spirits, and Zeng Wenjie accompanied Fu Qianzhu, Liu Qi, and Liu Xu back to Fengyuan, as if to see them off.

Liu Qi and Liu Xu, being sensible, said they were going to the supermarket to buy things as soon as they entered the school gate, and then they ran away hand in hand.

Fu Qianzhu smiled helplessly, turned to look at Zeng Wenjie, and said, "A big boss like you, still living in the dormitory?"

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "If I don't live in the dorm, who am I supposed to show off to? Everyone in my dorm is talented and speaks so well. I love living in the dorm!"

Fu Qianzhu didn't know how Zeng Wenjie developed his unique hobby of showing off, but he had to admit that the guy was indeed quite good at it.

You say he can play basketball? He can throw down three iron balls while lying down. You say he can't play? He can do an old man's hook shot with an absurdly high success rate.

Even more outrageous is that on the basketball courts of Fengyuan, you can often see some students practicing the hook shot of an old man, which is simply incomprehensible.

However, it seems that Zeng Wenjie is the only guy who can elicit cheers from the female students with his ugly hook hand.

"Don't close the snack shop after the inventory is done, otherwise I'll get really bored staying in Fengzhou," Fu Qianzhu said.

“That won’t do. What if you leave the snack shop open all New Year’s Eve?” Zeng Wenjie quickly shook his head.

He was certain that Fu Qianzhu was the kind of person capable of doing such a thing!

Don't be fooled by her bright, sunny smile, youthful energy, and athleticism; in reality, she can be a bit as obsessive as Kobe Bryant was this time last year when he scored 81 points.

Fu Qianzhu said, "I promise to close for the 28th and reopen on the 8th of the new year. Is that alright?"

Zeng Wenjie remained silent after hearing this.

Fu Qianzhu said, "You can't expect me to never be able to pay it all back, can you?"

Zeng Wenjie retorted irritably, "I'm not a general!"

"?"

Fu Qianzhu tilted her head, not understanding. What general?
Zeng Wenjie coughed. The third brother hadn't even come on stage yet, so those who weren't reborn definitely wouldn't understand. He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you can keep it running if you don't mind. Um, you'll get 50% of the profits."

After the holidays, the University Town has seen a sharp decline in foot traffic due to the closure of universities and vocational schools. In a while, it may only be worth two or three thousand yuan, and the daily profit may not even reach four figures.

“Okay!” Fu Qianzhu wanted to refuse, but realized that if she refused, Boss Zeng would probably refuse as well, so she nodded and readily agreed.

Zeng Wenjie nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then let's do it this way. After the inventory is done, have General Manager Chen send over more goods to store in the warehouse."

Fu Qianzhu agreed softly.

"Anyway, the snack shop isn't busy, and all the stores on campus are closed. I'll ask you to train me when I have some free time!" Zeng Wenjie said.

"Okay." Fu Qianzhu stopped at the dormitory entrance, waved, and said, "See you tomorrow."

Just as Zeng Wenjie was about to say something, he noticed a red Maserati speeding past in the distance. He waved to Fu Qianzhu and turned to leave.

He originally intended to go back to his dorm to get some clothes and then stay at Feng Xiao's place, but he was curious as to why Zeng Mi would come to Fengyuan.

After following her, I saw that Zeng Mi had already parked the car and was leaning against the door smoking.

She held a long, thin cigarette between her fingers, and her smoking posture was very elegant, giving her the air of a noblewoman from the old society.

Hearing footsteps, Zeng Mi turned around and smiled naturally, "Oh, what a coincidence!"

Zeng Wenjie asked, "Sister Zeng Mi, what brings you to our school?"

Zeng Mi calmly opened the cigarette pack, handed it to Zeng Wenjie, and said, "I had nothing to do, so I thought I'd take a stroll and see just how cultured Fengyuan is, that it could produce such an exceptionally talented freshman like you!"

Zeng Wenjie remained wary, fearing that this woman might be up to something and hadn't given up on her evil plan to recruit him.

Making money as a front man can be very lucrative, but being discarded after someone else has done the dirty work is not so pleasant, and few of those situations end well.

"It was just a series of coincidences, Sister Zeng Mi, you flatter me." Zeng Wenjie took out a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and tasted a faint minty flavor.

Zeng Mi looked at him with a half-smile and said, "If it's all just coincidence, then it can only mean that God is chasing after you to feed you, right? Anyway, I don't believe your explanation. I think you're the kind of person who has your destiny in your own hands." Zeng Wenjie chuckled twice, puffing on his cigarette.

"I just wanted to come and see what university life was like, and also to fantasize about what the university life I missed was like," Zeng Mi said softly.

Her tone was full of regret when she said this.

She had excellent grades and could compete with Ye Yixuan for the top spot in the entire school. They had agreed to get into Yenching University together.

However, she dropped out of school and broke her promise in the second semester of her senior year of high school, which Ye Yixuan regretted and became a lifelong regret.

Zeng Wenjie asked, "Why did you drop out of school back then?"

Zeng Mi glanced at him and said, "The circumstances don't allow me to continue studying, so I have to drop out of school."

She spoke vaguely, so Zeng Wenjie naturally didn't ask any further questions.

Most likely, something happened in her family, and someone happened to like her. As a result, she ended her student days, which were just about to reach their peak, prematurely.

“Sister Zeng Mi should visit Chongqing University more. Fengyuan is just a second-tier university, which doesn’t suit your temperament,” Zeng Wenjie said.

“It’s too big and doesn’t suit my style!” Zeng Mi laughed.

"..." Zeng Wenjie felt that this was a perfect display of bravado, and there was nothing he could say in response.

Zeng Mi said, "Actually, I came to Fengyuan Academy because I have a good impression of you and I was curious about you. Logically speaking, someone like you should go to a better academy!"

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "I was young and playful and didn't know any better. By the time I realized it, it was too late. Besides, Fengyuan is a great school. The school leaders have all treated me well and shown me a lot of care!"

Zeng Mi held a cigarette between her fingers, took a slow drag, and looked at the streetlights in the distance.

"Is that the lilac-like woman that Dai Wangshu wrote about you?"

Zeng Wenjie looked her over and, recalling her tragic end, couldn't help but offer a comment.

Such a comment, if made by someone else, would seem like flirting, but Zeng Wenjie said it very naturally and smoothly.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Mi paused, turned to look at him, and said, "You really are as boring as Yi Xuan said."

Zeng Wenjie smiled sheepishly and said, "I started out in the gold business. I can judge the purity with the naked eye, so it's reasonable that I know a bit about people, right?"

Zeng Mi laughed and couldn't help but ask, "So, what would my life be like if I went to university?"

"You probably won't be as aloof as Sister Xuan. Even at Peking University, where there are so many talented people, she's someone that people don't dare to approach, and not many dare to pursue her. As for Sister Zeng Mi, her suitors are probably as numerous as fish in a river. Every now and then, some boys will come to your dormitory building to place heart-shaped wreaths and confess their love while playing the guitar."

"Every now and then, a senior who has studied street dance will suddenly perform a Thomas dance in front of you."

“There will be guys who are really good at basketball who will deliberately dunk violently when you pass by the basketball court, making the rim bang loudly.”

“There will also be guys from wealthy families who will show off their luxury watches in front of you, or deliberately rev their sports cars loudly.”

"Then, you will be troubled by it, but you will still face it all with a smile and composure."

"In the end, a quiet guy will appear who isn't so high-profile or attention-seeking. You'll find him pleasing to the eye, and he'll find you gentle."

"You will come into contact with him and gradually get to know each other."

"When his feelings become so intense that they are hard to control, he will confess his love to you with flowers in hand. You might refuse to let him focus on his studies, or you might gladly accept a campus romance you never imagined..."

Zeng Wenjie spoke softly, a cigarette between his fingers, as fragments of his past life flashed through his mind, recalling the few times he had crossed paths with Mu Qingyang.

Zeng Mi was smiling at first, but as she listened, her face froze, a light flickered in her eyes, and two clear tears uncontrollably spilled from the corners of her eyes.

"After graduation, you'll probably get a good job like Sister Xuan, realize your life's value, and become your parents' pride. Instead..."

He paused, threw away his cigarette butt, and lit one of his own rations, "instead of being a caged bird that wants to fly but can't."
