A Meeting of Three, Each Finding Peace

On a certain social media platform.

"Mhm, so this is the class schedule for Junior Jiang. Thank you, classmate Su. I misunderstood you before."

"Hm? Why are you thanking me? Isn't this information you found out yourself, Senior Liu? What does it have to do with me?"

"Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with classmate Su."

"Mhm, as long as you understand that."

Liu Tingting looked at the chat history on her phone and slowly put it away.

It had been several days since she had unilaterally lost contact with Jiang Linyuan. This little junior, he flirted with her and then just ran off.

Heh heh heh, don't underestimate my intelligence network!

Liu Tingting recalled the classroom on the schedule and revealed a cold sneer.

Heaven created the green tea to nourish man, yet man has nothing to repay Heaven.

Just you wait, junior. I'll be at your classroom door come Monday.

On the other side, Jiang Linyuan was completely unaware that he had been backstabbed by a certain trashy woman.

At this moment, he had transformed into a heartless barbecue machine, flipping meat slices on the iron grill.

The Student Union had quite a few members, so they had specifically rented a villa as a venue for the gathering.

Inside the villa, there was an open-air BBQ, a billiards room, a small movie theater, and even a KTV... everything one could need for food, drink, and entertainment.

It would even be more than enough to host an orgy!

"Senior's grilling skills are really good."

Lin Yilin watched Jiang Linyuan skillfully flip the meat slices, the enticing aroma wafting toward her, and exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm flattered. I once mastered a divine grilling technique, known as 'Zhen Guanxi's Minced Meat,' a world-shaking art!"

"When did that happen?"

Zhang Shuo, who was grilling alongside them, asked in confusion.

"I just made it up."

"..."

Lin Yilin giggled, watching the two of them grill.

Feeling that it was inappropriate to just stand by and watch, she offered:

"Let me help too."

"Junior, do you know how to grill?"

Jiang Linyuan asked.

The binary little sister was stunned, then her eyes drifted away:

"I know a little bit. I usually help my mom when I cook at home."

"Hahaha."

Jiang Linyuan looked at Lin Yilin's slender fingers and laughed loudly:

"That sounds like it was just made up, just like mine..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was stepped on—not too hard, not too soft—and stopped talking.

Lin Yilin retracted her foot, her face slightly flushed, and shot a glare at Jiang Linyuan.

Zhang Shuo looked at Jiang Linyuan with suspicion and sighed with emotion:

"You get along quite well with the new department members. Unlike me, I can't even remember all the names of the members in the Academic Department."

Jiang Linyuan sneered:

"You department heads always maintain a high-and-mighty attitude, dumping all the work on those below you. If you don't immerse yourself among the masses, naturally you won't understand them."

Zhang Shuo frowned and retorted:

"Don't talk nonsense. As the head of the Academic Department, I do most things myself! How could I possibly be a hands-off manager!"

Lin Yilin also said righteously:

"If you become a department head, you should take on the corresponding responsibilities."

"Exactly, that's it!"

"Some people just occupy a position without doing any work, they're nothing but giant parasites!"

Jiang Linyuan said with high spirits.

"Parasites, that's a bit harsh."

Lin Yilin realized that Jiang Linyuan was pointing at the locust tree to curse the mulberry, and whispered a reminder.

"Harsh? You're still too kind-hearted, little junior. Am I wrong?"

Jiang Linyuan lowered his head to grill the meat and asked back. Finding that the two didn't respond, he felt a bit confused and raised his head.

Then, he saw a face as cold as frost.

The head of the External Relations Department, his direct superior, Shen Wanyu.

"But then again, if the leaders had to do everything themselves, what would they need subordinates for? Truly capable leaders know how to manage people, and all we have to do is follow closely in their footsteps!"

"Don't you agree, Minister?"

The expression on Jiang Linyuan's face was incredibly sincere, leaving Lin Yilin, who was standing to the side, completely dumbfounded.

Senior, your ability to change faces is truly impressive.

Shen Wanyu remained unmoved, pointing toward the barbecue on the iron rack:

"Do you want to help?"

Jiang Linyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Afterward, he kicked Zhang Shuo, who was playing dead beside him:

"There's nothing for you to do here. A minister who can't even remember all his department members should hurry up and go get familiar with the new recruits."

You're amazing, you're so high and mighty!

Zhang Shuo walked away, grumbling under his breath.

Shen Wanyu stood beside Jiang Linyuan, her technique with the barbecue extremely skillful, and she said out of the blue:

"I can't remember all the new department members either."

"It's fine, as long as you remember me, Minister."

Jiang Linyuan grinned.

Shen Wanyu sighed softly and looked at the bewildered Lin Yilin:

"Keep a safe distance from him in the future."

Lin Yilin didn't know what she was thinking of, but her expression stiffened:

"Yes, I understand, Minister."

Seeing her reaction, Shen Wanyu said calmly:

"Don't believe everything he says. I'm only saying this because I'm worried about you being teased by him every day."

Hearing this, the little binary girl relaxed again.

So easy to read, how cute.

Jiang Linyuan shook his head and sighed:

"Minister, what do you mean by teased! I call that training. As a member of the External Relations Department, what would you do if your skin was too thin?"

"Everything I do is for the sake of the External Relations Department!"

Shen Wanyu sighed again:

"Do you believe that yourself?"

"If you believe it, Minister, then I believe it."

"I believe it."

Eek! What the hell was that sound! That couldn't have been the Minister's voice!

Jiang Linyuan turned his head and his vision went dark.

That wretched girl is still chasing me!

"Student Jiang, I believe you!"

Su Muzhi, who had appeared from nowhere, was beaming as she stared at Jiang Linyuan.

"Where did you come from? How can an outsider sneak into a Student Union gathering!"

Jiang Linyuan looked at Su Muzhi and asked.

Sneaking in after me just to mooch off the food and drink, right! That's so baby, Su Muzhi!

"Isn't the Student Union meant to serve students? As a student, it's perfectly normal for me to be here."

Su Muzhi replied with a sweet smile, looking completely composed.

What kind of twisted logic is that!

According to your logic, a bed is meant for people to sleep in, so would it be perfectly normal for me to sleep in Shen Wanyu's bed too!

Hiss, come to think of it, that doesn't seem impossible.

Shen Wanyu, standing to the side, frowned slightly; she felt that Jiang Linyuan was thinking about something inappropriate.

So, she interrupted:

"This villa happens to belong to her family."

Scared to tears.

Running into the wealthy young miss of Shanghai, he couldn't shake her off no matter how hard he tried.

"Shanghai boss, you're awesome."

Jiang Linyuan gave Su Muzhi a thumbs-up.

"Aren't you going to call me 'Master'?"

Su Muzhi was still smiling.

"You don't look like a master to me."

Jiang Linyuan said.

"Then what do I look like?"

Su Muzhi asked curiously.

Is she here to demand a title like a weasel seeking a human seal?

"You look like a badger to me."

Jiang Linyuan retorted irritably.

"Then, is classmate Jiang going to stab me?"

Su Muzhi looked shy:

"Be gentle, okay? I'm afraid of pain."

There's no saving her, this sexually repressed, insufferable woman.

No wisdom, just stupidity.

"Department Head, just say the word, and I'll drag this woman out and behead her."

Jiang Linyuan turned his head to look at Shen Wanyu.

Shen Wanyu glanced at him:

"Focus on the barbecue and ignore her."

Her tone was extremely cold, making no effort to hide her indifference toward Su Muzhi.
