Chapter 122 Lan Weiwei's Lust at First Sight
Chen Nanxing had just finished speaking.

Xia Qing also turned around from in front of the computer:

“Hongdou, my boyfriend finally agreed to come see our performance on the night of the 27th. I’ve been asking around to see if anyone has any extra tickets.”

Xu Hongdou wanted to say that she hadn't decided whether or not to look for Yang Muye, but Xia Qing put her hands together in a pleading gesture.

"I only need one."

Xu Hongdou was now completely unable to say no.

Just then.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the dormitory door.

Zhu Suosuo stood at the door, peering inside.

"I saw that your dorm room door was open, and I thought you probably hadn't rested yet, so I came over to drop by."

"Please come in! Please come in!"

Chen Nanxing stepped forward to welcome the person in and closed the door behind him.

Zhu Suosuo was wondering why the door was closed when Chen Nanxing grabbed her from behind, putting his arm around her shoulder and neck.

"Tell me honestly, did your external relations department give a batch of tickets to the sponsors of the welcome party?"

Zhu Suosuo was startled, thinking that her true purpose for visiting had been seen through.

That's the result—

"That's right. The number of tickets given out depends on the amount of sponsorship. Sponsorship of 1000 yuan gives one ticket, sponsorship of 5000 yuan gives three tickets, and sponsorship of 10 yuan gives thirty tickets."

As soon as Zhu Suosuo finished speaking, Yang Zixi couldn't help but sigh:

"This is more expensive than a ticket to a star's concert."

"You can't compare them like that. The businesses are paying sponsorship fees, and the tickets to the welcome party are just a bonus."

Zhu Suosuo corrected.

The sponsors for this business school welcome party were divided into three tiers.

Sponsoring 1000 yuan will get you a spoken advertisement by the host and a banner advertisement outside the auditorium.

Sponsoring 5000 will get you three consecutive spoken advertisements by the host and an advertisement on the auditorium entrance sign.

Sponsorship of 10 yuan will secure exclusive title sponsorship of the gala and banner advertising above the stage.

Chen Nanxing nodded.

"So Yang Muyi has at least 29 remaining votes—"

"It's 30."

Zhu Suosuo corrected her again.

Maqiushan is currently in seclusion developing a farm game, and has even postponed his previously promised entrepreneurship lecture indefinitely, so it's impossible for him to attend the welcome party in person.

Moreover, the 100,000 yuan from Maqiu Mountain was intended to support Yang Muyi.

The sentiment and the money are enough.

Whether I come or not is not important at all.

"That's great. Now that Yang Muyi has so many tickets, Hongdou and Xia Qing, you two don't need to worry anymore."

Chen Nanxing clapped his hands happily and said.

Zhu Suosuo looked at Xu Hongdou and Xia Qing, and hesitated before speaking:
"Do you all have friends who are coming to the show?"

"My sister and my parents are coming to Yanjing for a trip the next few days, and they'll come to see me while they're at it."

Xu Hongdou explained.

Xia Qing then mentioned that her boyfriend would be coming to the welcome party that day.

Chen Nanxing suddenly turned to look at Zhu Suosuo.

"You don't have any friends coming to the show either, do you?"

"I--"

"Alright, explanations are just cover-ups. Just tell me honestly whether he's your boyfriend or not."

"No, it's my best friend from middle school. She happens to have no classes on Fridays this semester, so she flew all the way from Shanghai to Beijing to visit me, so—"

Zhu Suosuo raised her head and looked at Xu Hongdou somewhat embarrassedly.

Chen Nanxing clicked his tongue.

Family, boyfriend, best friend—they all came together at once.

And yet, they are all people I can't refuse.

Xu Hongdou sighed and picked up her phone.

It's too casual to talk to Yang Muyi on QQ; it's better to send a text message.

Are you asleep?

After sending the text message, Xu Hongdou put down her phone and prepared to wash up.

Zhu Suosuo and Xia Qing stared longingly at Xu Hongdou's phone on the desk, waiting as if each second was an eternity.

As a result, even after Xu Hongdou finished washing up and was about to go to bed, Yang Muye still hadn't replied to her text message.

Xu Hongdou picked up her phone, glanced at it, and told Zhu Suosuo and Xia Qing:

"He didn't reply to the text message, so he must be asleep."

"so early?"

Zhu Suosuo said with some surprise.

Chen Nanxing explained on Xu Hongdou's behalf: "I heard that he gets up at 5:30 every morning to exercise, so he doesn't usually live in the dormitory."

"He should reply to my text message tomorrow morning. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news," Xu Hongdou added.

Before leaving, Zhu Suosuo thanked Xu Hongdou again.

After lights out.

The four women lay in bed and talked about it again.

Upon learning that Yang Muye had not replied to Xu Hongdou's text messages, Yang Zixi suddenly said:
Do you think Yang Muyi might not have enough of the thirty tickets he has?

Although Xia Qing didn't say anything, her heart was in her throat.

Chen Nanxing retorted, "How is that possible? As far as we know, there are 3 cards for Hongdou, 1 for Xia Qing, and 1 for Zhu Suosuo. Who else is there?"

"That's a lot."

Yang Zixi began to list them out one by one for everyone.

First up is the Barbarian Band. Apart from Yang Muyi, the other three members all need to prepare one copy.

Hu Youyu is alright; he's the only one who's hungry.

If Ma Siyi has a ticket, should Xia Fenghua also get one?
And Xiao He will definitely ask Xie Hongzu for one too.

Five tickets have been sold here.

Then, on the art school side, there's the "Plastic Brothers" plus Chen Xiaozheng, Ruan Wan, Zheng Wei, and their two dorm girls.

There are seven tickets here.

Hu Ling and Du Qiong also received two tickets.

There are already nineteen votes at this point.

This doesn't even include Yang Muyi's other friends; the remaining eleven tickets might not be enough.

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou also began to worry.

She gripped her phone tightly, still agonizing over whether or not to bring it up with Yang Muye until she fell asleep.

At seven o'clock the next morning, Xu Hongdou received a reply from Yang Muye on her mobile phone.

"I was asleep last night and my phone was on silent. Is something wrong?"

Xu Hongdou didn't sleep well last night. She read the text message in bed, typed three lines, and then deleted them all.

"It's nothing, I just accidentally sent the wrong text message last night."

After sending the text message, Xu Hongdou put down her phone and suddenly felt a little sorry for Xia Qing and Zhu Suosuo.

Xu Hongdou didn't want to compete with Yang Muye's people for those thirty tickets; she would ask Yang Muye for them if there were any left over.

If not, that's fine; there's no need to owe Yang Muye a favor.

Just then, her phone alarm went off. Xu Hongdou sat up in bed and stretched. Then she received a reply from Yang Muye on her phone.

"I have thirty tickets to the welcome party. You and your roommates can take up to ten if you need them."

"I don't need that much, I just need—"

Xu Hongdou suddenly stopped typing this.

Finally, I deleted everything and re-entered it all.

"I need five, thank you." "Ten, you can handle the rest yourself."

In a hotel suite.

Yang Muye put down his phone.

He took a shower first, and when he came out, he saw on his phone that Xu Hongdou had only replied with "okay" and did not continue to reply to the text message.

After changing his clothes, Yang Muyi had breakfast in the executive lounge and came downstairs at 7:40.

Hotel entrance.

Wang Niulang and Zhang Guangzheng had just seen off a customer when they looked up and saw Yang Tao carrying a bag and walking quickly toward them.

Wang Niulang took the initiative to greet him:

"Manager Yang, did you walk to work today?"

"Don't even mention it. My car was hit at the intersection ahead, and I just called a tow truck to take it to the repair shop."

Yang Tao was very upset because her brand-new car, which she had only driven for less than two months, was hit by a car. Although the traffic police ruled that the other party was fully responsible, she was still very upset.

When the car arrived at the repair shop, I found out how long it would take to fix.

It will take at least three or four days.

During this period, Yang Tao had to take a taxi to work.

Encountering something like this first thing in the morning ruined Yang Tao's whole day.

As I entered the lobby, I was greeted by Yang Muye, who was about to leave.

Originally, Yang Muyi only intended to say hello, but after noticing that Yang Tao was in a bad mood, he asked her what was wrong.

Upon learning that Yang Tao's car had been crashed and was in the repair shop, Yang Muyi turned around and went back to the front desk without saying a word, and asked for the keys to his own G-Class.

"Here, my car has been parked in the underground garage for several days. Could you help me move it?"

Yang Muye handed the car keys to Yang Tao and then left.

This scene was witnessed by Wang Niulang and Zhang Guangzheng at the hotel entrance, who were bound to have "something on their minds."

"Master, what's the relationship between Mr. Yang and Manager Yang?"

"What other relationship could it be? They're both lecherous men."

what?
Zhang Guangzheng stared at Wang Niulang with a bewildered expression.

"Master, did you use the wrong word?"

Wang Niulang laughed: "You mean to say that there is mutual affection between men and women? There is no such thing as love at first sight in this world. There is only lust at first sight. Don't you believe it? This is the essence of handsome men and beautiful women being attracted to each other."

Zhang Guangzheng glanced into the hotel lobby again.

Wang Niulang only analyzed the surface appearance.

The key point about "tall, handsome, and rich" is still the wealth.

I wish I could be young and successful, driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Knowing that Yang Muye was in a hurry to go to school, Yang Tao could only take the G-Class key to the receptionist, Xiao Liu, and ask her to keep the car key safe.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Liu refused to accept it.

"Manager Yang, Mr. Yang took out this key and gave it to you. It would be more appropriate for you to return it to him personally."

Even this little girl dares to joke about me.

Yang Tao was furious, but seeing that the meeting was about to start, she could only stuff her car keys into her handbag and turn to walk towards the elevator.

After the meeting, Yang Tao was busy until after 10 p.m. before she finally had some free time.

Yang Muye is probably in class right now, so Yang Tao can only send text messages.

"You can leave your car at the hotel. I'll take a taxi home after get off work."

The text message was sent successfully, and I was just about to put my phone down.

At that moment, Yang Muye's reply arrived.

"You don't like that car?"

Yang Tao immediately typed back: "That's right, your car is ridiculously expensive, and it's also a huge gas guzzler."

Yang Muye replied instantly: "This car is perfect for novice female drivers. It's sturdy and crash-resistant. If you drive this car to and from get off work, other cars on the road will give you a wide berth. Isn't that great?"

"You look down on female drivers, huh? Don't worry, I'm a great driver. Today, that guy ran a red light and that's why he hit me. It's all his fault."

"So safety is the most important thing. You should drive my car for the next couple of days. With your salary, you shouldn't be unable to afford a tank of gas."

"Yeah, filling up a tank of gas takes up a fifth of my salary. In the end, I might as well take a taxi."

"Okay, I'll leave the keys with you for now. Take a taxi if you feel it's convenient, or drive if you feel it's convenient. We'll talk about the rest after your car is fixed."

Yang Tao had just finished reading the new text message Yang Muye had sent and hadn't had a chance to reply when a phone call suddenly came in.

Upon seeing the words "Lan Weiwei" on the screen, Yang Tao immediately took her phone and walked aside to answer the call.

"Peach, are you at work?"

"Yeah, if I don't work, will you support me?"

"You're good-looking and well-educated, finding someone to support you is a piece of cake. Why would I be a chance?"

"I don't care, I had a really bad day, and now all I want to do is eat to vent my anger and frustration. I'm having a big meal tonight, and it's on you!"

"What a coincidence! I was just thinking of inviting you to dinner."

"What's wrong? You've run into bad luck too?"

"That's great news, I'm ready to start dating!"

"Really?"

Yang Tao's voice carried a hint of surprise.

"Did your mom's blind date with you work out?"

"No, it's a handsome guy I met at the gym next to the yoga studio. We hit it off really well, and he's treating me to dinner tonight. Would you like to come with me and give him your opinion?"

Upon hearing that she was there to oversee the process, Yang Tao didn't hold back and asked directly over the phone:

"How old is the other person? What do they do for a living? Do they own a car and a house?"

"28, a senior executive at a foreign company, owns a car and a house in Yanjing."

Yang Tao nodded after listening, then asked:

"What does it look like?"

"They already say he's handsome, is there even a need to ask?"

"What, love at first sight?"

"Pretty much. Anyway, he has a great physique. He looks slim in clothes but muscular when he takes them off."

"So you two are actually quite a good match."

Lan Weiwei, on the other end of the phone, was secretly delighted, but deliberately said:
"You haven't even seen the person yet, isn't it a bit premature for you to draw such a conclusion?"

"It's not early. You were attracted to him because of his good figure, but isn't it the same reason he was attracted to you, because of your good figure?"

Lan Weiwei became anxious upon hearing this.

"Hey, that's a bit of a judgment based on appearance. It's not like I'm lusting after his body."

"So, you two are just lusting after each other's bodies, right? If that's not a good match, then what is?"

"roll!"

Lan Weiwei cursed angrily on the other end of the phone.

Just as Yang Tao was about to tease Lan Weiwei a bit more, Xiao Liu from the front desk came over and made a phone gesture towards Yang Tao.

Yang Tao understood, told Lan Weiwei on the other end of the phone that she had to start working, and then hung up.

Seeing this, Xiao Liu explained, "Manager Yang, a customer couldn't get through to you, so they called our front desk."

Yang Tao went to the front desk and picked up the landline phone.

"Hello, I'm Yang Tao, the assistant lobby manager of Fairfield by Marriott Hotel. How can I help you?"

"Peach, it's me. Do you remember my voice?"

"Aunt Liu?"

"Yes, yes, it's me. I knew it was only half a month since we last met. You definitely wouldn't have forgotten my voice so quickly. I tried calling your cell phone just now, but I couldn't get through."

"I was on the phone with a friend and didn't answer your call. I'm sorry."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask if the discounted rooms you booked for us last time are still available."

"Yes, Aunt Liu, do you have any friends visiting Yanjing?"

“My daughter, my husband and I, the three of us, need to book two rooms for a week.”

"Your daughter isn't—"

“This is my eldest daughter, Hongmi. She was on annual leave from her company and said she wanted to take advantage of the fact that there wouldn't be many people before the National Day holiday to travel to Yanjing and visit Hongdou, who is studying there.”
