After dinner with Xiao i, she wanted Ye Qiu to stay and go ho tomorrow. Ye Qiu was tempted, but he could only look, not eat, as he had to go back and continue his cultivation.
He wrapped an arm around Xiao i’s waist and said, "Next ti."
Around nine in the evening, Xiao i walked Ye Qiu to the door. He took the elevator down, got into his car, and drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
When he got back to the villa, Ye Qiu only saw Xiaomai playing the guqin alone. She was expecting him to return for dinner, but upon discovering no sign of him, she could only watch TV and play her instrunt by herself.
Seeing Ye Qiu return, Xiaomai quickly got up and said, "Ye Qiu, you didn’t co back for dinner."
"I had dinner with a friend."
"Go ahead and keep playing!"
Ye Qiu then went upstairs to play on his computer. Around ten in the evening, he took a shower and resud his cultivation in his room.
Early the next morning, Ye Qiu drove back to the Jin University Campus.
It was Friday, and he had two classes each in the morning and afternoon. Ye Qiu just returned to class and sat down. As for what the professor was saying on the podium, he didn’t know.
After the two morning classes, Ye Qiu left the classroom and headed towards the library. As he reached the second floor, a figure floated out and imdiately clung to his arm.
"Ye Qiu, you’re back. Why didn’t you co find ?" The speaker was Lin Wanqing. She had heard that Ye Qiu went to the Caribbean Sea, but yesterday she was told by other classmates that Ye Qiu had returned.
"Why should I find you?"
"You." Lin Wanqing was imdiately infuriated. No matter what, she was a beauty at the university flower level, yet in Ye Qiu’s eyes, she wondered why he needed to find her.
As Ye Qiu walked into the reading room, Lin Wanqing continued to follow him.
Actually, she just wanted to play so music for Ye Qiu and see if her musical skills had improved.
As Ye Qiu picked up an encyclopedia and sat down to read, Lin Wanqing leaned over and asked, "What did you go to the Caribbean Sea for?"
"Just for fun!"
Lin Wanqing didn’t believe him; she thought Ye Qiu’s trip was surely not just for fun.
But Ye Qiu was unwilling to share with her.
Lin Wanqing just sat aside, and when Ye Qiu was flipping through the book, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was a call from Jiang Xiyue, he looked at Lin Wanqing beside him, then stood up to go out and answer it.
"Xiyue, what’s up?"
"The company might be having so trouble," Jiang Xiyue said slowly from the other end.
Trouble?
Ye Qiu knew that if it wasn’t a difficult problem to solve, she wouldn’t call him.
"What’s the situation?"
"A scion is demanding a hard take on company shares."
Hearing this, Ye Qiu understood.
If it were in Jinling, given the current situation, no one would dare to do that, but it’s different in the East Sea. Although Ye Qiu had been to the East Sea a few tis, it’s still an international tropolis with many wealthy scions. It’s quite normal for soone to take a liking to Jiangyue Group.
However, if they want to forcefully take company shares, they should see whether he agrees or not.
"I’ll go to the East Sea tomorrow," said Ye Qiu.
After informing Jiang Xiyue and hanging up, he returned to the reading room where Lin Wanqing was still sitting.
"I have a friend who also plays the piano. Maybe you two can et each other."
"A friend? A pianist? Is she also a girl?" Lin Wanqing asked.
"Yes, she plays the guqin, and her musical accomplishnt is decent."
Originally, those who play music, chess, calligraphy, and painting share a connection. It wouldn’t be bad for Xiaomai and Lin Wanqing to exchange ideas.
Ye Qiu initially thought of letting Xiaomai attend classes at the Music Academy of Jin University. If she had agreed then, she might have already joined.
However, Ye Qiu now thinks it better to forget about it. He’s afraid she wouldn’t adapt even if she joined, as besides the guqin, her academic performance in other subjects is far behind the university students.
Lin Wanqing felt a bit displeased, wondering why Ye Qiu knew so many beauties.
As Ye Qiu was flipping through the encyclopedia and lunchti was approaching, he called Xiaomai to tell her he’d be ho for lunch and would bring a friend. Then Ye Qiu and Lin Wanqing left the library, got into his car, and drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
Although Ye Qiu and Lin Wanqing had known each other for a long ti, Lin Wanqing had never visited Ye Qiu’s villa before.
When Ye Qiu stopped the car this ti, Lin Wanqing asked, "Ye Qiu, do you really live here?"
"Is it that strange?"
This left Lin Wanqing montarily speechless. Although her parents were professors at Jin University, making them middle-class and part of the higher echelons of intellectuals in the country, they could only afford to live in the university’s teacher dormitories. Now seeing Ye Qiu living in such a large villa, Lin Wanqing realized that Ye Qiu often driving luxury cars was actually no big deal.
Going inside with Lin Wanqing, Xiaomai was already in the kitchen preparing lunch, her apron tied around her waist, waiting for Ye Qiu to return.
"Xiaomai, my friend is here."
Seeing Ye Qiu bring in a tall young beauty, Xiaomai was curious about her identity.
After Xiaomai poured water for Lin Wanqing, she hurried back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
"Is she your housemaid?"
"She used to be an orphan I saved and now stays at the villa as a housemaid."
Lin Wanqing couldn’t quite understand, but seeing a guqin there, she, who tried playing piano professionally, had been exposed to instrunts like the guqin during her childhood. Her parents used to play it before, and seeing this guqin, it’s obvious it’s a very fine piece.
"I gave it to her because her old one was ruined."
For so reason, Lin Wanqing found that while Ye Qiu was so good to a housemaid, he didn’t seem to treat her as well, which naturally made her a bit uncomfortable.
Once Xiaomai finished cooking a hearty al and served it, the three sat down to eat lunch together.
"Xiaomai, this is Lin Wanqing, a talented pianist at Jin University’s Music Academy. Perhaps you two can share ideas later."
Upon hearing her label as a talent from the Music Academy, Xiaomai felt a bit inferior. Of course, with the other being a pianist, and herself specializing in the guqin, she didn’t have many opportunities to perform.
After dinner, Ye Qiu said he’d go upstairs first, suggesting, "You guys chat for a bit. We’ll head back to Jin University in the afternoon."
Ye Qiu went upstairs to play on his computer, leaving Xiaomai and Lin Wanqing downstairs.
When Ye Qiu checked the ti and saw it was almost class ti, he went downstairs to find that Lin Wanqing and Xiaomai seed to have beco well-acquainted.
"It’s almost ti for class. Let’s head back, you can chat more next ti."
