Three Meet, Each Doing Fine

A social media platform.

"Mm, so this is Jiang's class schedule. Thanks, Su. I misunderstood you before."

"Hm? Why are you thanking me? Didn't you find out the information yourself, Senior Liu? What does it have to do with me?"

"Of course. This has absolutely nothing to do with you, Su."

"Mm, glad you understand."

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

It had been several days since she'd lost contact with Jiang Linyuan—on her end, anyway. That junior had flirted with her and then run off.

Heh heh heh. Don't underestimate my intelligence network!

Liu Tingting recalled the classroom listed on his schedule and gave a cold smile.

Born a green tea to nurture the world, yet the world had nothing to repay her with.

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

Meanwhile, Jiang Linyuan had no idea that some shameless woman had stabbed him in the back behind the scenes.

At that moment, he had transformed into a merciless grilling machine, flipping slices of meat on the iron rack.

The Student Union had quite a few members, so they'd rented a villa for their gathering.

The villa had an outdoor BBQ area, a billiards room, a small movie theater, and even a karaoke room... It had everything for eating, drinking, and having fun.

There was even more than enough room for a sex party!

"Senior, you're really good at grilling."

Lin Yilin watched Jiang Linyuan expertly turn the slices of meat as their tempting aroma wafted toward her. She exclaimed in admiration.

"I'm but a humble man who once mastered a divine grilling technique, honored with the title 'Zhen Guanxi, Master of Minced Meat.' A peerless art that shook the world!"

"When did that happen?"

Zhang Shuo, grilling beside him, looked confused.

"I just made it up."

"..."

Lin Yilin let out a giggle as she watched the two of them grilling.

Feeling bad about just standing by and watching, she offered:

"Let me help, too."

"Junior, do you know how to grill?"

Jiang Linyuan asked.

Binary Sister froze, then let her eyes wander.

"I know a little. When I cook at home, I usually help my mom with the prep."

"Hahaha."

Jiang Linyuan looked at Lin Yilin's slender fingers and burst out laughing.

"Sounds like you just made that up, too, just like—"

Before he could finish, someone gave him a light kick. He didn't continue.

Lin Yilin withdrew her foot, her face faintly red, and shot Jiang Linyuan a glare.

Zhang Shuo looked at Jiang Linyuan in surprise and said with a sigh, "You get along pretty well with the new member of your department. Unlike me—I still can't remember all the names of the Academic Department members."

Jiang Linyuan gave a cold laugh.

"You Department Heads always put on airs and hand all the work to the people below you. You never get involved with the rank and file, so of course you don't know them."

Zhang Shuo frowned and retorted, "Don't talk nonsense. As the Head of the Academic Department, I personally handle most things! How could I be a hands-off boss?"

Lin Yilin chimed in righteously, "If you become a Department Head, you should take on the responsibilities that come with it."

"Exactly!"

"Some people just occupy a position without doing the work. They're nothing but oversized parasites!"

Jiang Linyuan spoke with spirited conviction.

"'Parasites' is a bit harsh, isn't it?"

Lin Yilin realized Jiang Linyuan was criticizing someone indirectly and quietly reminded him.

"Harsh? Junior, you're too kind. Am I wrong?"

Jiang Linyuan asked as he lowered his head to grill the meat. When neither of them replied, he grew confused and looked up.

Then he saw a face as cold as ice.

It was Shen Wanyu, Head of the External Relations Department—and his immediate superior.

"But then again, if you make the leaders do everything, what do you need the people below for? A truly capable leader knows how to manage people. Our job is to keep up with the leader!"

"Isn't that right, Department Head?"

Jiang Linyuan's expression was utterly sincere. Lin Yilin stared at him, dumbfounded.

Senior, you're incredible at changing your tune.

Shen Wanyu remained unmoved and pointed at the meat on the grill.

"Need a hand?"

Jiang Linyuan paused, then nodded.

Then he nudged Zhang Shuo, who was pretending to be dead, beside him:

"You're not needed anymore. A Department Head who can't even remember all his members' names should go get to know the new people in his department."

You think you're so great, so noble!

Zhang Shuo walked away, muttering curses.

Standing beside Jiang Linyuan, Shen Wanyu grilled with practiced ease and casually said, "I can't remember all the new members of my department, either."

"That's okay. As long as you remember me, Department Head."

Jiang Linyuan grinned.

Shen Wanyu sighed softly and looked at Lin Yilin, who didn't know what to do.

"Keep a safe distance from him from now on."

Lin Yilin seemed to remember something, and her expression stiffened.

"Mm, understood, Department Head."

Seeing her reaction, Shen Wanyu said blandly, "Don't believe the things he says. I'm only telling you this because I'm worried he'll tease you every day."

After hearing that, Binary Sister relaxed again.

So easy to read. Adorable.

Jiang Linyuan shook his head and sighed.

"Department Head, what do you mean, 'tease'? I call it training. What's an External Relations Department member supposed to do if they're too thin-skinned?"

"I'm doing all this for the External Relations Department!"

Shen Wanyu sighed again.

"Do you believe that?"

"If you believe me, I believe it."

"I believe you."

Ugh! What was that sound? That didn't sound like the Department Head!

Jiang Linyuan turned around and went pale.

That damn Downer Girl was still chasing after him!

"Jiang, I believe you!"

Su Muzhi had appeared from who knew where. She beamed at Jiang Linyuan.

"Where did you come from? How can an outsider crash a Student Union gathering?"

Jiang Linyuan looked at Su Muzhi and asked.

So you followed me here to mooch food and drink? That's too much, Su Muzhi!

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

Su Muzhi answered calmly, her smile sweet.

What kind of twisted logic was that?

By that logic, beds were for people to sleep in, so would it be perfectly normal for me to sleep in Shen Wanyu's bed?

Wait, when you put it that way, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Shen Wanyu lightly furrowed her brows. She felt Jiang Linyuan might be thinking about something inappropriate.

So she interrupted him.

"This villa belongs to her family."

I'm doomed.

I've run into Shanghai's heiress, and no matter how hard I try, I can't get away.

"Shanghai's loaded!"

Jiang Linyuan gave Su Muzhi a thumbs-up.

"Won't you call me 'Master'?"

Su Muzhi was still smiling.

"You don't look like a master."

Jiang Linyuan replied.

"Then what do I look like?"

Su Muzhi asked curiously.

A weasel asking for a title, is it?

"You look like a melon-stealing rascal."

Jiang Linyuan shot back irritably.

"So, Jiang, are you going to stab me?"

Su Muzhi looked bashful.

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

This hopelessly repressed Downer Girl.

No wisdom in that head, just an idiot.

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

Jiang Linyuan turned to Shen Wanyu.

Shen Wanyu glanced at him.

"Focus on grilling. Ignore her."

Her voice was icy, making no attempt to hide how thoroughly she disregarded Su Muzhi.
