Upon seeing the news of the 100,000 yuan deposit, she unconsciously pursed her lips.

She quickly looked away, lowered her head, and twisted her hands together tightly.

A feeling of envy lingered in her chest.

Manman has an extra 100,000 yuan for living expenses, while she only has 1,000 yuan a month.

Actually, her uncle would give her 3,000 yuan a month as living expenses, but her aunt would take 2,000 yuan away.

With the remaining money, her cousin would occasionally ask her to buy things he needed and bring them back.

If you don't have money and haven't bought anything, you won't fare any better when you get home.

She was so envious.

I envy Manman for having such a good family, while she has to wander in hell, her body entangled by demons, unable to breathe.

Qiao Manman turned off her phone, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Zhu Liangqi pinching her hand.

She was taken aback and quickly reached out to separate Zhu Liangqi's hands.

"Liang Qi, what are you doing??"

Zhu Liangqi's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Qiao Manman, and she stared blankly at Qiao Manman, who was full of concern for her.

"N-nothing..."

"You're clearly preoccupied!"

Qiao Manman grabbed her hand and lifted it up: "Look at what you've done to yourself! If you had pinched harder, blood would have seeped out!"

Zhu Liangqi's eyes darted away as she withdrew her hand: "I...I was thinking about something, I promise I won't do it again next time."

Qiao Manman frowned, she couldn't recall ever seeing this situation with Zhu Liangqi before.

That can only mean that the original owner didn't take Zhu Liangqi seriously, and his thoughts and attention were all focused on dealing with Jiang Shu.

However, to be fair, Zhu Liangqi's situation is indeed very problematic.

It was probably anxiety that caused her to harm her body.

She now strongly suspects that Zhu Liangqi may have other injuries on her body.

Not wanting to act too hastily, Qiao Manman could only keep her thoughts to herself for the time being.

-

Jiang's Company.

Jiang Tingyan flipped through the documents in his hand, his gaze occasionally falling on the black screen of his phone.

The head of the human resources department stood in front of him: "President Jiang, these are the secretaries you need to interview personally this afternoon."

"There are six people in total, but you've been looking at it for half an hour already. Is there anything you're not satisfied with?"

Jiang Tingyan slammed the document shut, stood up, and said, "Have you checked the resume thoroughly? Is everything true?"

The minister nodded and said, "Yes, everything has been investigated. Chairman Jiang has given us instructions on your requirements, and we dare not take it lightly."

Jiang Tingyan gave a faint "hmm": "The interview time is as usual, you can go ahead and get busy."

The minister couldn't wait to leave; the pressure from this powerful figure was too intense. He stood there hesitantly for a long time before daring to ask that one question.

Moreover, after Jiang Tingyan came to the company, everyone was on edge and dared not make a sound.

It all started because of something Chairman Jiang said before: "My son hates noise the most."

Therefore, no one dared to provoke Jiang Tingyan's likes or dislikes.

After leaving his office, the minister immediately dialed Jiang Shu's number.

Jiang Shu leaned back in the car seat, eating fruit, answered the phone, pressed speakerphone, and continued flipping through the pages of her novel.

"Old Liu, what's up?"

Minister Liu: "General Manager Jiang has already reviewed the information of those six secretaries and has agreed to let them come for interviews this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu immediately sat up straight, and his eyes brightened considerably.

"He really agreed??"

"Yes, Chairman Jiang." Minister Liu said with some doubt, "But Chairman Jiang, I have a question."

"you say."

"Mr. Jiang's assistant, Ms. Chen, is already doing the work of two secretaries, so why is she applying for the job?"

Jiang Shu pouted and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Just do your job."

Seeing that Jiang Shu was unwilling to talk about it, Minister Liu had no choice but to suppress his curiosity.

Jiang Shu hung up the phone and happily popped a cherry tomato into her mouth.

She did it on purpose; she deliberately arranged for six more secretaries to be assigned to Jiang Tingyan.

She hoped that these secretaries would be sensible and try to seduce her handsome son, who was obsessed with love.

She couldn't believe it.

Even secretaries with hotter figures and better looks than Qiao Manman couldn't win his son's heart!

in the office.

Jiang Tingyan waited quietly for two minutes to make sure that Minister Liu had gone far away before he quickly picked up his phone and dialed Assistant Chen's number.

Assistant Chen answered quickly, and Jiang Tingyan asked, "How's Qiao Manman's matter going?"

Assistant Chen stepped into the company, his face showing disbelief, and said, "It has been resolved, but the one who handled it today should be Chairman Jiang."

Jiang Tingyan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and paused slightly.

He paused for two seconds before putting his hands in his pockets and continuing, "The specifics."

Assistant Chen stood in front of the elevator and relayed everything the principal had told him to Jiang Tingyan.

Upon hearing what Jiang Shu said to the other party, Jiang Tingyan's expression became complicated again.

The words my mother spoke were very much like her own decisive and efficient manner.

But what's going on with the guy leaning against Qiao Qinian and playing with his hand?

Seeing that Jiang Tingyan didn't speak, Assistant Chen prepared to reach for the elevator button.

He was about to say that he would come up right away when Jiang Tingyan suddenly spoke up again.

"Have you found the exorcist I asked you to find?"

Assistant Chen's grip suddenly loosened, and he asked dumbfoundedly, "Young Master Yan, are you really going to invite him?"

Jiang Tingyan's eyes flashed coldly: "You didn't listen to what I said?"

Assistant Chen withdrew his hand: "I'll take this as a matter and get it done!"

-

There weren't any important classes in the afternoon, so Qiao Manman and Zhu Liangqi went to the library after lunch.

The two were still lingering in front of the bookshelf looking for books when they suddenly heard a soft shout.

"Qiao Manman!"

Hearing someone call her name, Qiao Manman turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

Seeing a boy leaning against the bookshelf, raising his hand to wave at her, Qiao Manman asked in a daze.

Do you know me?

The problem wasn't that Qiao Manman couldn't recognize the boy; it was that she couldn't find any fragments of the boy's memory in the original owner's memories either.

The boy suddenly stood up straight, strode up to Qiao Manman, and asked incredulously, "You don't recognize me?!"

Qiao Manman continued to scrutinize the boy carefully.

Standing at over 1.8 meters tall, with a healthy tan and neat short hair, he looks like an athletic boy.

There was a sense of righteousness in his eyes and brows, like that of a soldier.

The combination of handsomeness and righteousness gives people an unparalleled sense of peace and comfort.

But his silly behavior just now was completely different from his outward appearance...

Is everyone into the contrasting style these days?

Qiao Manman still couldn't figure out who he was, so she turned to Zhu Liangqi and asked.

"who is he?"

Zhu Liangqi was surprised that Qiao Manman would ask so directly, and she shook her head awkwardly.

"I don't know him either..."

Qiao Manman: "Are the ways to strike up a conversation this advanced these days?"

Zhu Liangqi remained silent, thinking to himself that Qiao Manman was far too audacious.

The person was still standing right in front of her, how could she just blurt it out like that?

The boy was a little embarrassed by what he was being said. He scratched his cheek and said, "I gave you directions on the first day of freshman registration."

A scene flashed through Qiao Manman's mind: someone had indeed pointed the way, but she couldn't quite place who that person was.

Judging from his physique, this should be the male student.

That despicable original owner!

He's even more arrogant than Jiang Tingyan!

Qiao Manman forced a smile, casually lied, and said without changing her expression, "Sorry, I have face blindness."

The male student shook his head, grinning and showing his front teeth, and said, "It's okay, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Shen Que."

Qiao Manman memorized the man's appearance: "Since you know my name, I won't introduce myself to you any further."

Qiao Manman turned to the side and raised her hand towards Zhu Liangqi: "This is my classmate and good friend, Zhu Liangqi."

Shen Que looked at Zhu Liangqi: "Hello, Zhu!"

Zhu Liangqi was rather introverted and shy, and spoke in a much softer voice: "Hello."

Seeing Zhu Liangqi's appearance, Qiao Manman frowned slightly.

Xiao Jiangshu is a social butterfly; she's always so embarrassed when she goes out that she wants to disappear into the ground. How come she's suddenly so timid and hesitant?

Is the system suppressing her personality?

Does this mean she has to continue living with Zhu Liangqi's original personality?

Filled with doubt, Qiao Manman, Zhu Liangqi, and Shen Que each took a few books and headed to the study area.

Shen Que couldn't sit still while reading, as if he had no bottom.

He would either check his phone, look elsewhere, or pass a note to Qiao Manman.

While dealing with the situation, Qiao Manman observed Zhu Liangqi.

This guy never looked up from the book from beginning to end; he was so focused on his work that he could block out everyone and everything around him.

Qiao Manman curiously rested her hand on her temple.

It's impossible for Xiaojiang Shu to sit still for more than ten minutes.

But it's been more than half an hour already, and she can still be so focused. Is the system on her really that heartless?

"Pfft, pfft!"

Shen Que's voice rang out from in front of her, and Qiao Manman turned around to look at the note he handed her again.

Shen Que: [Your friend is so diligent; her grades must be excellent, right?]

Qiao Manman: [Are you sure you're not talking nonsense? This is Peking University.]

Shen Que: [I was referring to my professional field.]

Upon seeing the note, Qiao Manman couldn't help but glance at Zhu Liangqi again.

It's only been a short time since the start of the semester, she can't tell whether the grades are good or bad...

Qiao Manman replied: 【I don't know.】

However, Xiao Jiangshu was a poor student just like her, a fact she was well aware of.

If it weren't for the amount of knowledge that the original owner of this body possessed, she probably wouldn't have been able to understand a single lesson.

Shen Que: [Can I add you on social media? We can hang out together sometime.]

Without much thought, Qiao Manman gave Shen Que her contact information.

After all, Shen Que was quite enthusiastic and had a good personality. Moreover, they were in the same school, so she had no reason or need to refuse.

After the two added each other as friends, Shen Que sent a message.

Shen Que: [Want to go to a karaoke bar and have hot pot later?]

Qiao Manman knows KTV and hotpot restaurants—places where you can eat and sing at the same time.

The cost is not low, but it's worthwhile because you combine two games into one.

Since she doesn't have anything else to do, why not go out and have some fun and broaden her horizons together?

After all, in real life, people are so busy making a living that they can't even afford to play. Now they should broaden their horizons.

Qiao Manman agreed, and only after Zhu Liangqi put down his book to rest did she ask in a low voice.

"Liang Qi, how about we go to a karaoke bar for hot pot tonight? Shen Que invited us."
