Chapter 78: Not Hard Work, Just Hard Life.

The next afternoon.

Shen Qingxuan did not finish the onboarding paperwork, so he did not follow Jiang Yubing to the company.

However, he did not idle at home either.

He rolled up his sleeves and cleaned the room inside and out with meticulous care.

He left no corner untouched.

When he looked at the spotless room, he nodded in satisfaction.

He planned to lie down and play on his phone, but when he noticed it was almost time for Jiang Yubing to leave work, Shen Qingxuan hurried downstairs.

As soon as he left the elevator, he saw Uncle Ling waiting there.

Shen Qingxuan walked quickly forward, pulled open the car door, sat inside, and said with a polite smile, “Uncle Ling, thank you for your hard work.”

Uncle Ling lifted the corners of his mouth into a faint smile and replied, “It’s nothing, young master.”

He sighed helplessly in his heart.

He muttered inwardly, “Not hard work, just hard life.”

Originally his job required him to pick up only Jiang Yubing, but now there was also Shen Qingxuan.

Even so, he could only complain silently in his mind.

Judging from the young couple’s situation, young master Shen would probably become his boss in the future.

The thought made him feel secretly envious.

Why did such a comfortable leech-like life never land on him when he was young?

Back then, he too drifted among thousands of flowers without letting a single leaf stick, a dashing playboy.

After sighing, Uncle Ling shook his head lightly.

He started the car and drove toward Jiangbei Lu Group.

The scene shifted.

On the other side.

Zhao Hu rushed to Zhang Yunhao, panting, and asked, “Hao, why did you call me here?”

Late last night, he slept soundly when the phone suddenly woke him.

He thought something urgent was happening.

Instead, Zhang Yunhao only said, “Come help me tomorrow afternoon.”

He then hung up.

The incident left Zhao Hu confused to this moment.

Zhang Yunhao answered, “You will know soon.”

He did not answer the question directly.

He pulled out his phone and checked the time.

He calculated silently and thought the person should arrive soon.

Yet when he remembered Zhao Hu’s usual approach to strangers, Zhang Yunhao felt vaguely uneasy.

He could not help but warn, “Hu, try to talk less later.”

Zhao Hu scratched his head, did not think much, and nodded broadly, “Fine, I’m only here to help, I listen to you.”

He still did not know what they would do, but as long as there was food, he was satisfied.

As for the rest, Zhang Yunhao naturally called the shots.

While they were waiting, a sleek Maybach rolled to a stop beside them.

Its smooth lines exuded understated luxury.

Zhao Hu’s eyes went round; he nudged Zhang Yunhao with his elbow and said excitedly, “Hao, look.”

“That must be a senior from Jiangbei Lu Group!”

“When I graduate and start working, I will definitely buy a flashy sports car.”

Zhang Yunhao also looked on with envy, staring at the Maybach, his heart full of longing.

“Compared with a sports car, I prefer a low-key and luxurious Maybach like this.”

The two of them took turns speaking, picturing a beautiful future.

At the same time.

Jiang Yubing finished her day’s work and walked out of the company building.

After enduring a day of intense tasks as a newcomer, she only wanted to go home and lie down for a while.

As soon as she stepped outside, she spotted the Maybach parked ahead.

A trace of doubt rose inside her.

Wasn’t that Uncle Ling’s car?

She did not recall asking Uncle Ling to pick her up.

She thought, “Could the idiot husband be here to pick me up?”

The moment that possibility occurred to her, a happy smile immediately blossomed on her face.

Her steps quickened unconsciously as she walked toward the car.

During their conversation, Zhao Hu happened to glance forward.

He saw a striking figure walking toward them.

When he looked carefully, he realized it was Jiang Yubing.

He exclaimed, “Hao, look, it’s the campus belle Jiang!”

Zhao Hu suddenly raised his voice, full of surprise.

Zhang Yunhao was on the phone asking where the other party was.

The shout startled him and made him feel a bit irritated.

After a moment, seeing Zhang Yunhao still holding the phone, Zhao Hu spoke again, “Hao, look, the campus belle Jiang is heading our way!”

His face flushed with excitement.

As he shouted, he clumsily tidied his clothes, hoping to look more spirited.

Zhang Yunhao responded reluctantly with a perfunctory “Yeah.”

Only then did he follow Zhao Hu’s pointing finger.

Since he learned about the relationship between Jiang Yubing and Shen Qingxuan, Zhang Yunhao had buried his feelings.

As she drew nearer, Zhao Hu’s heart nearly jumped into his throat, and sweat beaded on his palms.

“Hao, how should I greet her later?” Zhao Hu asked anxiously.

“What do you mean?” Zhang Yunhao asked in confusion.

Greet whom?

Could Zhao Hu have called someone else again?

“The campus belle Jiang! She is walking toward us, she must fancy me,” Zhao Hu declared.

Zhang Yunhao froze.

What kind of brain logic was that? Leaving aside the fact that the campus belle was his buddy’s girlfriend, why could she not like him, Zhang Yunhao?

“What if she likes me instead?” he countered.

Zhao Hu answered with disdain, “You? Dream on; with that skinny dog body, the campus belle will never fancy you.”

“I told you many times to work out, but you never listened.”

Zhao Hu curled his lip in contempt.

Zhang Yunhao stayed silent. “…”

When Jiang Yubing walked past the two of them, Zhao Hu swallowed, gathered his courage, and called, “Campus belle Jiang!”

His voice trembled slightly from nervousness.

Jiang Yubing heard the call, glanced over, and found she did not know him.

She planned to ignore it, but she noticed Zhang Yunhao beside him.

Remembering he was one of the idiot husband’s buddies, she answered out of courtesy.

A rare smile appeared on her face, and she said calmly, “Hello.”

Zhao Hu’s face immediately flushed red, and joy exploded inside him.

Mom, I made it; the campus belle smiled at me.

He recalled his mother’s words: when you meet a girl you like, greet her first;

if she smiles at you, you may try inviting her to dinner.

Zhao Hu made calculations in his head, built up his courage, and began, “Campus belle Jiang…”

Before he finished, Jiang Yubing walked straight past him.

Then Zhao Hu witnessed the most shocking scene of his life.

He watched Jiang Yubing trot forward with a blissful smile, calling sweetly, “Husband, why did you come to pick me up?”

Next, she threw herself into Shen Qingxuan, who had just stepped out of the Maybach.

“Hao, did I hear wrong?” Zhao Hu gasped.

His mouth hung open in shock.

He instinctively patted Zhang Yunhao’s shoulder and said in a trembling voice, “The campus belle actually called Shen Qingxuan husband?”

Zhang Yunhao stepped a few paces away from him with a look of disdain.

He complained inwardly.

So that was the body built by sacrificing the brain.

Was this really such a big deal?

Why could he not stay calm like me?
