Transmigrated as the male lead's roommate's vicious girlfriend

When Ning Xi returned to the preparation room, Dai Yilan had already guessed why Tang Dan had called her to the office.

She teaches ethnic dance, which uses a different technique system. She can supervise daily training sessions, but she can't help with rehearsals for finished classical plays.

Dai Yilan handed her a cucumber, saying, "Teacher Ning, you're such a bitter gourd."

Ning Xi took a bite of the cucumber with a crunch, her emotions remaining perfectly calm.

Rehearsals for plays are counted as class time and also as working hours, so although it will make you very busy, your salary will also be higher.

Her eyes were filled with a desire to make money.

Dai Yilan smiled and said that she had already ordered takeout for two people because she had made her feel better so quickly.

Ning Xi transferred the money for the meal to Teacher Dai.

She glanced at the time on her phone.

She didn't know if He Kezhou had eaten lunch yet; if she ordered takeout again at this time, it would take until after 1 p.m. for it to arrive.

Ning Xi lay on her workstation and made a video call to He Kezhou.

Video line busy.

Just as Ning Xi was eating her takeout, He Kezhou called her.

She stared at He Kezhou in the video, his chin smeared with oil, and remained silent for a few seconds.

Even covered in oil and sweat, his sharp bone structure was still undeniable. Sweat mingled with his neck and slid down, creating a look that was both sloppy and striking.

He Kezhou pulled up his clothes and wiped the sweat from his face.

Ning Xi swallowed the food in her mouth. "Is the car dealership so busy today? Have you eaten?"

He Kezhou switched to the rear camera position so that Ning Xi could see the driving situation clearly.

He had just finished eating and finished a video call with Ning Xi, then it was Zhou Zhishui's turn to eat.

Outside the car dealership, cars needing washing and repairs filled all the parking spaces in front of the store, even extending into the area in front of the neighboring shop.

Zhou Zhishui stood under the blazing sun, gripping the high-pressure water gun, cursing under his breath, "Damn it, even the most expensive car wash at this old, run-down shop has gone up to 180 yuan, and there are still so many people coming to get their cars washed."

"No more car wash orders will be accepted if another car comes in."

His skin was practically peeling from the sun.

Zhou Zhishui shouted to Meng Yizhen, "Brother Zhen, we're expanding the store! I want a separate indoor car wash as standard!"

……

He Kezhou held his phone and switched the video back to himself.

He found a relatively quiet spot and started a video call with Ning Xi: "I was just on the phone with Boss Zhang."

Ning Xi popped a broccoli into her mouth and nodded.

He Kezhou: "Boss Zhang is treating us to dinner tonight. I'll pick you up from get off work."

Ning Xi asked him, "What time did we agree on? You don't need to come pick me up."

"Around 19:00 PM, I'll be passing by your place, it's on my way."

Ning Xi gave an OK sign.

She switched to a food delivery app and ordered three iced coffees for He Kezhou and the others.

After ordering her coffee, she stared at He Kezhou's injured face on the screen.

The scabs on his face had fallen off, and the pale pinkish-white mark was so faint that it almost blended into his skin.

Ning Xi looked away, knowing that He Kezhou was busy, and not wanting to waste his time, she told him that she had transferred five thousand yuan to his Alipay account.

"This money is your living expenses from today until payday next month."

She planned to keep a detailed account of the remaining money when she got home that night and safeguard it for He Kezhou.

He Kezhou transferred three thousand back to her.

Ning Xi glared at him through the phone screen.

He Kezhou: "Two thousand is enough."

He Kezhou rarely buys anything for himself; his daily expenses are limited to food and water.

When it comes to money, Ning Xi can't argue with He Kezhou.

She emphasized to He Kezhou that if he didn't have enough money or needed money elsewhere, he should ask her for it.

Dai Yilan found watching the young couple's video chat very entertaining.

After Ning Xi hung up the phone, she rested her chin on her hand and winked at her: "Teacher Ning, is your boyfriend good in bed? How many times a night do you two do it?"

Ning Xi choked on a grain of rice, coughing until tears welled up in her eyes.

Dai Yilan was startled by Ning Xi's strong reaction.

She looked at Ning Xi's pink earlobes and sincerely apologized, "Teacher Ning, I'm sorry. My words were too harsh and offended you."

Jokes should be made in a way that is acceptable to both parties. If one party feels uncomfortable, the joke is no longer funny.

Ning Xi covered her lips and finally managed to stop coughing.

She shook her head.

Dai Yilan apologized to her so sincerely that she felt a little embarrassed. "Teacher Dai, you're being so direct all of a sudden. I'm not quite processing it yet."

Dai Yilan tidied up her workstation and gave her a passionate wink.

At noon, the preparation room was quiet again, free from the sounds of Zheng Shiyin arguing with her boyfriend on the phone.

Ning Xi took a 20-minute nap.

Perhaps because she took a nap, Ning Xi didn't feel sleepy at all during her afternoon classes.

During the last class, the children in the class were so cute that Ning Xi's heart melted.

Dai Yilan passed by her classroom and brought her coffee. Seeing her playing with the children, she handed the coffee to Ning Xi, saying, "Director Huang bought this."

Ning Xi smiled and took the coffee.

After finishing her last class on Sunday, Ning Xi felt completely relaxed.

Just as it was 18:00 PM, she received a call from He Kezhou.

Dai Yilan was making a phone call, gesturing to Ning Xi to leave work first.

……

Ning Xi thought that Boss Zhang's dinner invitation tonight was just a simple meal.

When she arrived at the hot pot restaurant with He Kezhou, she found that Boss Zhang and his wife had hosted a very formal dinner party.

Through the slightly ajar door of the private room, she saw that Zhou Zhishui and Meng Yizhen were also there.

Zhou Zhishui and Zhang Tailai chatted enthusiastically.

Meng Yizhen was talking to Mrs. Zhang from time to time.

The atmosphere in the private room was very relaxed.

Ning Xi stopped the waiter from opening the door.

She pulled He Kezhou, gesturing for him to lower his head.

"You go in first, I'll go to the florist to order a bouquet of flowers and I'll be right back."

"It's impolite to come to eat empty-handed."

He Kezhou was unaware that Zhang Tailai had brought his wife along.

He didn't let go of Ning Xi's hand. "I'll go with you."

Ning Xi shook her head, "We're already late, sorry to have kept everyone waiting."

She gently pushed He Kezhou away, "I'll be back soon."

The waiter opened the door for He Kezhou.

When Zhang Tailai saw He Kezhou come in, he craned his neck to look behind him.

Feng Wan gave her husband a reproachful look.

Zhang Tailai sat back in his chair and scratched his head.

He shouted at He Kezhou, "Where's your girlfriend?"

He Kezhou greeted Mrs. Zhang, pulled out a chair and sat down. "There are a lot of people, she's nervous, she went to the restroom, she'll be back in a bit."

Zhang Tailai laughed heartily, "It's good that you didn't scare them away. There are still two friends who haven't arrived yet. Go and coax your girlfriend in."

Seeing that He Kezhou was about to get up, Zhou Zhishui gave him a wink, signaling him to check his phone messages.

Mrs. Zhang stood up with a smile, "I just needed to use the restroom, so why don't you give me this task?"

He Kezhou nodded to Mrs. Zhang, "If you see the prettiest girl, that's my girlfriend."

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but smile, and her goodwill towards He Kezhou increased even more.

A guy who cherishes his girlfriend and respects women is unlikely to be a bad person.

After his wife left the private room, Zhang Tailai said to He Kezhou and Meng Yizhen, "I'll introduce you to a friend tonight. He mainly works in new energy venture capital, and his company's main businesses include vehicle parts manufacturing and new energy industrial park development. He also holds equity in several automakers' supply chain companies."

"It's very difficult for the three of you to turn a small, run-down car dealership into a large one without connections or resources."

He happened to have this connection and was willing to build a bridge for young people.

Zhou Zhishui didn't yet realize the magnitude of Zhang Tailai's favor. Only after meeting Dong Xiangzhang, the chairman of Xincheng Local Industry and New Energy Venture Capital Group, would he understand just how crucial tonight's dinner party was.

Zhang Tailai smiled and pointed to himself, "I'm just a hot pot chain restaurant owner, and this is the only person I have. Don't feel pressured, we'll just have a simple meal."
