Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 214 - 99: Zhejiang University Christmas Gala, Qin Shiqing Became a Freshman Host (Part 2)
She could tell that this was just Su Zelin's excuse, but there was nothing she could do. ๐๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ค๐ซ๐ฎ๐.๐ฌ๐๐ข
Considering a girl's sense of reservation, the conversation had reached this point, what else could she do?
Sunny Day: "Alright, I get it."
Zhejiang University, the goddess dormitory.
After the conversation ended, Qin Shiqing looked at the knitted scarf on the bed and pouted her cherry lips.
The girl was unhappy.
That darn Gemini, so contradictory inside yet stubborn to a fault!
"Shiqing? Shiqing?"
"Hmm?"
Chen Zi's words brought the girl back from her daydreaming, leaving her a bit confused as she hadn't heard what the other had said just now.
"I want to download some messages, can I use your computer?"
"Oh, sure, go ahead."
Qin Shiqing felt a bit stifled inside, stood up, and walked out of the dormitory.
"What's up with Shiqing? Why does she seem so off?"
Shen Jia was baffled.
"Yeah, when I borrowed the computer from Shiqing just now, she was in a daze, took a few calls before she responded."
Chen Zi agreed.
"Could Shiqing be facing some trouble?"
Xiao Yue said worriedly.
"It's because of that person, and it's related to Christmas."
Yan Qiuwen spoke up, revealing the truth.
Everyone suddenly understood.
These two childhood sweethearts are really something.
It seems this dramatic youthful love soap opera is going to go on for a long, long time.
...
The next day, at the Finance Institute campus.
Group 302 arrived at the public lecture room, and their ears were filled with discussions about how to spend Christmas.
Especially the girls, who were really interested in this romantic holiday, looking forward to it.
They all hoped to get some apples.
However, in the end, they usually got another kind of fruit.
Except for one person in 501 whose relationship with Cai Wensheng was semi-public, everyone else was single, but that didn't stop them from enjoying the festive atmosphere and planning to have some fun.
As soon as Su Zelin entered the classroom, he was pulled into a corner by Luo Xi.
The Five Mischievous Ones saw this and all had ambiguous smiles on their faces.
The class leader and deputy leader have been mixing business with pleasure more and more lately!
Of course, they were mistaken, as the real situation wasn't as dodgy as they imagined.
"Class leader, Liu Wanyin got the notification today; she was hired by the digital store!"
Luo Xi got straight to the point and delivered the good news.
"Oh."
Su Zelin's reaction was not as enthusiastic as she had expected, leaving the class belle puzzled.
"Aren't you happy?"
Logically, since Su Zelin cared so much about Liu Wanyin's matters, he should be happy for her, right?
"I'm really happy!"
The lazy one grinned, but the smile seemed more forced than genuine.
It's not that he wasn't happy, but everything was under control, so there were no unexpected surprises, making it hard to display excitement like Luo Xi.
"Your smile is so reluctant!"
Luo Xi furrowed her brows and suddenly thought of something: "Don't tell me you weren't picked?"
That couldn't be, with his silver tongue, even if she herself were to compete, she'd be trounced, let alone anyone else.
"Nope, I got the job, and I'm the store manager!"
"Store... store manager?"
The class belle was shocked, speechless.
What's going on?
A part-time job applicant for a temporary position ended up becoming the store manager!
Could it be that the interviewer was a woman, and was seduced on the spot by his verbal skills?
"How did you manage that?"
After a while, the class belle came to her senses: "Applying for a part-time job, how did the digital store make you the manager? That's not logical!"
"Hehe, well, the manager of this digital store told me that most of the employees would be finance institute students, so they needed to pick someone to be the store manager for easier management. Of course, there's also a full-time position, handling sales or after-sales, and I'm responsible for the student side, so the responsibilities are a bit different!"
Su Zelin casually fabricated an excuse.
Of course, this store manager position was decided long ago, and it couldn't be anyone else.
After all, since his boss identity hadn't been revealed yet, having the title of store manager made it easier for him to manage the store personally.
"You're really amazing!"
Luo Xi was filled with admiration.
This store is quite large, and with good benefits for part-timers, there certainly won't be a shortage of student employees.
Many on-campus students working part-time in other commercial district stores have come here to try their luck, seeing if they could switch, including many senior students.
Yet, Su Zelin, as a freshman without any part-time experience, stood out among so many and became the store manager; that's extraordinarily impressive.
Could I do it if it were me?
The class belle thought for a while and felt that it would be very, very difficult, with only a slim chance of becoming the store manager.
While the two chatted, Liu Wanyin also came over, excitedly saying: "Class leader, I got hired by the digital store!"
Even though Luo Xi had likely already conveyed this good news to Su Zelin, Liu Wanyin felt she still had to come over personally to express her gratitude.
After all, if it weren't for this class leader, she might not even have had the courage to go to the interview, let alone getting hired.
The digital store's pay is much higher than working part-time in a snack shop outside, with shorter working hours, and no need to stay up late.
While working part-time at the snack shop, she often returned at midnight and had to wake up for classes in the morning, getting insufficient rest.
First, she secured the scholarship, easing the tuition pressure; then she landed a great part-time job; Liu Wanyin was overjoyed.
Usually with a furrowed brow, her delicate face now rarely showed a smile.
The girl from the mountain, her smile was so pure, like the clear spring from a mountain stream, leaving Luo Xi mesmerized, thinking that Wanyin's smile was truly beautiful.
