Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Sister Yun Hasn’t Graduated Yet

Hearing Su Mengyao’s assessment of Lu Yunque, Yun Zijin blinked. ’He really does sound like an exceptional person. But in the end, he was still no match for me.’

"Then when you go home today, you can tell your parents. What’s the point of Lu Yunque working himself to the bone for all those achievements? In the end, he was still beaten by a girl who hasn’t even graduated from college."

Yun Zijin was currently in her internship period; she wouldn’t get her diploma until next June.

"Sister Yun, you haven’t graduated yet?"

Sheng Yang hadn’t heard anything else, only the part about Yun Zijin not having graduated yet.

Yun Zijin nodded. It was true, she hadn’t graduated yet.

When school started back up in September, she would have to return for classes.

Even though fourth-year students were out doing internships, there were still one or two classes to attend every now and then.

Sheng Yang and the others exchanged glances, utterly dumbfounded. They had all been calling her "Sister Yun," but it turned out she was the youngest person in their entire group.

Every single one of them was a college graduate.

It was just that their families gave them a monthly allowance and they had no desire to work, so they spent their days idling, thinking only of eating, drinking, and having fun.

For a second-generation heir with no business to inherit, life was just that simple and unpretentious.

"So, Sister Yun, what year are you in?"

"I’ll be a senior when school starts in September. I had an internship at a company before, but I quit a while back."

’All of this was public information. Better for her to just tell them herself than have them look it up.’

"So, Sister Yun, when school starts, why not bring a few classmates to our bar to drum up some business?"

It was now mid-to-late July. The bar’s renovations would surely be done by September, and the business license was already secured. Opening was just a matter of time.

"My classmates are all straight-A students. What if I bring them to your bar and they get corrupted?

Instead of relying on me, you’d be better off having them go a few more times to boost your revenue."

Yun Zijin gestured toward Lu Yunfeng and the others.

As for Su Mengyao, Yun Zijin felt it was best not to encourage a young woman to go to a place like a bar, with its motley crowd.

Not unless Su Mengyao could bring a team of bodyguards everywhere she went, like she did.

"What about me? When you open, I’ll bring my girlfriends to support you!"

Su Mengyao hadn’t forgotten her ultimate goal, the very reason she’d gone to such great lengths to get into Wu Zicheng’s birthday party.

Thanks to her connection with Yun Zijin, she had managed to break into their inner circle, but she still had to work hard to achieve her final goal.

Yun Zijin could reject Sheng Yang’s request without a second thought, but she couldn’t.

Whether due to her family’s standing or her own personal situation, she couldn’t refuse. In fact, she had to do her best to play along.

However, Su Mengyao wasn’t the type to inconvenience herself unnecessarily. And it wasn’t as if she’d never been to a bar before.

Besides, the bar was Sheng Yang’s, which made her feel even more at ease.

At the very least, with Sheng Yang around, she wouldn’t have to worry about any unsavory characters bothering her.

"Forget it. If you came, I’d have to waste my energy looking after you."

The reason he’d invited Yun Zijin was that he knew she had a team of bodyguards. Even if he got careless, nothing bad would happen to her.

But Su Mengyao seemed like a classic case of ’all beauty and no brains,’ and Sheng Yang was genuinely afraid she’d get into trouble at his bar.

While the Su Family couldn’t compare to the Sheng Family, if push came to shove, they could still take a hefty chunk out of them. Sheng Yang didn’t want to cause trouble for his own family.

"Aren’t I just worried your bar will be a flop? I’m trying to help you fill the seats and boost your revenue!

If your bar goes under, Zijin’s three million will go right down the drain!"

Su Mengyao bristled at Sheng Yang’s words. What did he mean, he’d have to "look after" her?

It wasn’t her first time in a bar. It’s not like trouble was just waiting to happen.

Worse comes to worst, couldn’t she just get a private room and drink with her friends?

Sheng Yang: ...

’The bar hasn’t even opened yet, so why does everyone think it’s going to fail?’

’He’d show them. He was going to run it so well that he’d turn it into a nationwide franchise!’

"Fine, fine, fine! Go if you want to go. Just don’t come crying to me if something happens!"

With that, Sheng Yang snatched the champagne from the table and downed it in one gulp.

While Sheng Yang and Su Mengyao were bickering, Yun Zijin had already exchanged WeChat contacts with Lu Yunfeng and the others.

Like Sheng Yang, they also wanted to start their own businesses, but they had yet to find a suitable investor.

Now that they knew Yun Zijin had invested in the bar with Sheng Yang, the gears in their minds started turning.

But since it was their first time meeting Yun Zijin, no one was impatient enough to bring it up right away.

Although Yun Zijin could tell they all had their own little schemes, she didn’t sense any malice, so she paid them no mind.

After they’d added each other on WeChat, the conversation died down.

Fortunately, the birthday party was winding down by this point, and many people had already begun to leave.

Yun Zijin checked the time. It was already 1:00 AM. ’Young people sure can stay up late.’

Sheng Yang and his friends planned to just crash at Wu Zicheng’s villa for the night. They were currently outside with Yun Zijin and Su Mengyao, waiting for the Su family’s car.

Zero One and his men had actually been on standby inside the villa the whole time. But Yun Zijin didn’t leave right away, choosing instead to stand in front of Wu Zicheng’s villa and wait with Su Mengyao.

"When is your driver getting here? Why don’t you just ride with me? I can drop you off."

’She has bodyguards with her; it’s definitely much safer than Su Mengyao going home alone.’

"He’ll be here soon. It’s not peak hours, so without traffic, he’ll be quick. Why don’t you go on ahead? You don’t have to wait here with me."

Su Mengyao never expected that coming to a birthday party just to see Sheng Yang would lead to her making a friend like Yun Zijin. She was genuinely happy.

Thinking of Yang Jiaqian, Su Mengyao felt like she must have had her head screwed on wrong back then. How could she have ever thought they were good friends?

’Looks like I need to be more careful about who I make friends with from now on!’

"Where do you live? We might be headed in the same direction."

’Yun Zijin figured that since the Su Family was one of the Eight Small Families of Dijing, they must live in a nice area. Maybe their homes were in the same direction.’

"I live in Imperial Garden. It’s not on the way to Xingyu Mansion."

Earlier, she had overheard Yun Zijin and Sheng Yang mention that she lived in Xingyu Mansion, and Su Mengyao had made a mental note of it.

She knew of Xingyu Mansion. In fact, she had even wanted her dad to buy her Villa No. 1 there. Its surroundings were just as good as Imperial Garden’s.

Unfortunately, she was a step too late; someone had already snatched up Villa No. 1.

’Sigh... It was all her fault for hesitating over the price for a few hours. Otherwise, she definitely would have bought it.’

Yun Zijin had no idea that the Villa No. 1 she lived in was the very house Su Mengyao had failed to buy. Only after seeing Su Mengyao get into the Su Family’s private car did Yun Zijin, surrounded by Zero One and his team, get into her Rolls-Royce Phantom.

"Let’s go. Back to Xingyu Mansion."

Zero One said nothing, starting the engine and accelerating in one smooth motion.

Seeing Yun Zijin’s team of bodyguards again, Sheng Yang couldn’t help but marvel inwardly, ’So damn cool!’
