Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!-Chapter 666 - 303: Qu Jing, Tao Tian
Facing Zhou Yuwen's gaze,
Jiang Xinyi felt an unexpected flurry of confusion.
It was strange, she used to be very comfortable around Zhou Yuwen, but since last night, Jiang Xinyi suddenly felt a bit girlish.
She sometimes pursed her lips, sometimes cast her gaze elsewhere.
"Um, the day of the New Year's? Are you free?" Jiang Xinyi asked subtly.
"New Year's? You mean the evening of the 31st, huh, it looks like I am free as of now." Zhou Yuwen thought for a moment.
Jiang Xinyi exclaimed softly.
"I got from my mom..."
She was about to mention the piano recital.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the doorway: "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
The voice was very familiar; when Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi went out, they discovered it was Tao Tian and her dormmate, senior Minmin.
Last night, Tao Tian told Zhou Yuwen that she wanted to come over again to work part-time as a model, and Zhou Yuwen had agreed, arranging to meet her in the morning.
Tao Tian thought she had arrived early and would have to wait for Zhou Yuwen.
But to her surprise, Zhou Yuwen was already there, and Tao Tian couldn't help but feel delighted.
Zhou Yuwen's treatment of Tao Tian seemed unaffected by that previous incident: "Senior Tao, you're here?"
"Um..." When Tao Tian saw Zhou Yuwen, she was somewhat shy.
Zhou Yuwen first greeted Tao Tian, then called out to senior Minmin, who also smiled sheepishly at Zhou Yuwen, apologizing for disturbing him again, junior.
"It's nothing." Zhou Yuwen said.
By now, it was late December, both girls were dressed in woolen coats, and Tao Tian was actually wearing a low-cut outfit underneath hers—she had to show off her best assets when meeting Zhou Yuwen.
And Minmin was still wearing the Divine Artifact of black silk tights paired with long boots.
Both girls were exceptional beauties.
Yesterday, Tao Tian spoke to Zhou Yuwen about wanting to model; today, upon seeing Zhou Yuwen, she said she felt a bit embarrassed to come alone and wanted Minmin to accompany her.
Is that okay?
Naturally, Zhou Yuwen had no objections; it was a busy time, and models were in high demand.
Most importantly, the daily wage used to range between 300 and 500.
This month, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, girls part-timing as models at Zhou Yuwen's could average about 700.
"So much?"
Hearing it was 700 a day, both Tao Tian and Minmin were stunned.
Isn't that a bit much?
"Yeah, didn't you know? I heard from Qu Jing that you've also taken some gigs outside?" Zhou Yuwen asked with a smile.
"I..."
Speaking of this, Tao Tian felt a bit embarrassed; indeed, she had taken a private job upon leaving Zhou Yuwen, with a senior student, so safety wasn't an issue. But she only made about 300 per job.
She stopped because she found it uninteresting.
Minmin took more jobs outside, averaging about 300 as well, but she didn't expect Zhou Yuwen's rate to have risen to 700.
"It's just temporary, the rate will definitely fluctuate later on. But you two seniors, with such good conditions, don't need to worry about not getting jobs."
Zhou Yuwen smiled and chatted with Tao Tian and the others. Meanwhile, he turned his head to greet Jiang Xinyi, informing her that he was going to the next office.
Jiang Xinyi nodded, simply watching as Zhou Yuwen took Tao Tian and Minmin away, looking at these two girls around the age of eighteen or nineteen, the usually confident Jiang Xinyi suddenly lost all her confidence.
Not to mention Minmin or anyone else, just Tao Tian herself.
Jiang Xinyi really wanted to know, what did she eat to grow up so well-nourished?
She always claimed to be six years older than Zhou Yuwen, but looking down at her little buns, Jiang Xinyi felt she might as well not have eaten for those six years—how come Tao Tian's one seems bigger than her two?
Sigh, when dating You Changjin before, Jiang Xinyi felt You Changjin lacked presence.
But now, in front of Zhou Yuwen, Jiang Xinyi suddenly realized she seemed to lack presence too.
The cultural company's office next door was more lively than Zhou Yuwen's.
After all, it was morning, with plenty of young women coming in to take jobs, and some specifically from the University of South Arts to inquire about their salaries.
The office was cold outside, but inside, the heating was on.
The office, more than a hundred square meters, was divided into different functional areas and was full of long-legged women in yoga pants.
These girls all loved beauty more than the next.
Tao Tian in her low-cut dress might seem a bit special outside, but here it was ordinary; in the cold winter, there were even girls wearing off-shoulder tops in this office.
There were several seen just wearing yoga pants, moving back and forth, and those in tight pants and leggings paired with snow boots.
In a nutshell, the cold winter did not affect the leg show in this place.
And they had particular respect for Zhou Yuwen.
Seeing Zhou Yuwen enter, they greeted him with chirpy voices.
"Brother Zhou."
"Hello, Brother Zhou!"
"Brother Zhou, I watched your video yesterday! Super cool!"
"Really?"
Zhou Yuwen chuckled, then the women who heard about Zhou Yuwen's arrival all came crowding around.
"Ah? CEO Zhou is here?"
"Brother Zhou, I saw your video yesterday too, give me an autograph, I'm your little fan!"
Zhou Yuwen was quickly surrounded by this group of girls.
These girls came from various colleges in University Town, including vocational and undergraduate, but without exception, all were youthful and beautiful.
And to be part-time at Zhou Yuwen's place, honestly, these girls were not only pretty, but their competitive consciousness was very strong.
For example, all the girls here are pretty, but if one of them dresses a bit nicer, the others definitely won't be happy and will want to outdress her.
And Zhou Yuwen is their company's boss; though he may not be as rich as the big shots outside with assets over hundreds of millions, he has the advantage of youth and happens to be their direct superior.
Naturally, these girls find all sorts of ways to please Zhou Yuwen.
Even to say, given the chance,
70 percent of the girls here would willingly slip into Zhou Yuwen's bed.
This isn't surprising.
You see, even the student union vice president at a certain university can be involved in an unspoken rule.
And the girls around Zhou Yuwen are all exceptionally beautiful, wearing tank tops and skinny jeans in the dead of winter, showing off their slim waists.
Coquettishly surrounding Zhou Yuwen, saying things like, "Boss Zhou, I really admire you~"
"Boss Zhou, give me an autograph~"
Zhou Yuwen says, "Alright, alright, I'm not a celebrity; my autograph won't sell for much."
Before the sound of his voice fades, a very pretty girl flirts with Zhou Yuwen: "But Boss Zhou, you're a superstar in my heart! My idol!"
Hearing this, the other girls giggle and laugh.
Zhou Yuwen says, "I can't sing and dance.
"Nor can I be your idol. Is Qu Jing around?" Zhou Yuwen has already made his way through the throng by this point.
Damn, these girls are really clingy.
Blocking Zhou Yuwen's path and not letting him through.
Even deliberately leaning against Zhou Yuwen.
Finally, he manages to squeeze through a gap.
Someone tells Zhou Yuwen: "Qu Jing is in the office!"
"Okay."
There are over a dozen girls at the cultural company; normally Zhou Yuwen's arrival would cause quite the stir, and if Qu Jing knew, she would definitely come running out.
But Qu Jing is too busy.
Chen Wan and Su Qing only handle the planning side.
Meaning the exhibition modeling is solely Qu Jing's responsibility.
And Qu Jing wants to do everything well to earn Zhou Yuwen's praise, so she's more earnest than anyone, handling everything personally.

It's not until Zhou Yuwen enters the room that Qu Jing sees him, quickly rising from her office chair.
"Bo..."
Zhou Yuwen makes a silencing gesture, and that's when Qu Jing notices the two girls who followed Zhou Yuwen in.
Seeing Tao Tian and Minmin, Qu Jing's brows instantly furrow.
She hasn't been in touch with these two girls for a while, and naturally, she has no fond feelings for Tao Tian; remember, in the cafeteria that time, Tao Tian almost strangled Qu Jing to death.
Minmin, on the other hand, knows how to handle social niceties; as soon as she enters the room, she wears a flattering smile trying to greet Qu Jing: "Jing..."
Before she finishes, Qu Jing frowns and asks: "What are you two doing here?"
It's fair to say that Qu Jing does not give Tao Tian any face with that question.
The comment freezes the smile on Minmin's face, uncertain of what to say next.
Zhou Yuwen clears his throat twice and says: "I brought them here."
Hearing this, Minmin opens her mouth, looks a bit aggrieved, but doesn't speak.
Whatever Zhou Yuwen says, she'll surely carry out without question.
But even small cats and dogs have their grievances, don't they? In Qu Jing's eyes, Tao Tian and Minmin are the culprits behind the company's recent crisis.
Hmph, their actions almost destroyed my brother's company.
And now they have the cheek to show up here?
Zhou Yuwen takes a seat in Qu Jing's place.
He takes a look at Qu Jing's attire; gotta say, high heels paired with black stockings, that's pretty stylish.
The company is full of beautiful girls coming and going, and Qu Jing cannot escape this fierce female competition.
But compared to the other girls,
Qu Jing's attire is a bit more intellectual, with a vibe of an office lady, eliciting a few more glances from Zhou Yuwen.
Qu Jing is wearing a white blouse with a matching black pencil skirt, and her legs are clad in black stockings with openwork patterns.
The stockings envelop her thighs halfway up, with openwork designs at the edges, a bit darker in color than the rest, accentuating the fair skin of her legs peeking out from under the skirt.
She stands beside him in her high heels, all prim and proper, looking at Zhou Yuwen full of confusion.
Perhaps, in addition to confusion, there's also some apprehension.
After all, Qu Jing doesn't have better prospects than Tao Tian, and she fears that Zhou Yuwen still harbors feelings for Tao Tian, possibly neglecting herself.
If it were anyone else, it would be whatever, but Qu Jing can't tolerate the idea of Tao Tian, with whom she's irreconcilably at odds, cozying up to Zhou Yuwen over her own head.
Zhou Yuwen knows what Qu Jing is worried about, and to reassure her, he doesn't even avoid suspicion in front of Tao Tian and Minmin, purposely taking Qu Jing's hand and saying, "Senior Tao Tian and Senior Minmin hope to find work with us."
"I was thinking, despite everything, you were dormmates, and it's better to resolve enmities rather than hold grudges. Dorm fights usually don't amount to deep hatred, and besides, we're really short-staffed."
Upon hearing that Tao Tian was only looking for work, Qu Jing responds with an "oh", although she dislikes Tao Tian, she defers to Zhou Yuwen in everything; as long as Zhou Yuwen has decided, she won't object, nor will she complain.
She asks: "Do you want to assign them tasks directly, or should they sign contracts like everyone else?"
The company's policy has changed from the past, any female college students taking orders from Zhou Yuwen's company must sign a five-year agent contract beforehand.
Confirming their status as artists under Zhou Yuwen's company, meaning all their future self-media work, such as live streaming or short video platforms, will be managed by Zhou Yuwen's company.
This was previously mentioned, a change made because of the incident involving Tao Tian.
Zhou Yuwen says: "Let them sign the contract. I came to you intending for you to prepare their contracts."
"Get it done today for them, and if there are any lighter exhibitions, take them along."
Hearing Zhou Yuwen say this, Qu Jing feels slightly happy, because it suggests that Zhou Yuwen doesn't have the feelings for Tao Tian she feared he might; rather, it implies he's entrusting Tao Tian and Minmin to her management.
Hmph, brother is still good to me.
