Chapter 248 So That's It
Tao Shuxin speaks directly and has low emotional intelligence.

But Xu Mingyuan really likes her silly side, which is genuine and not fake.

If other people don’t like it, that’s their business. Let them change it themselves. What does it have to do with Tao Shuxin?
Su Muqing did not expect that her fleeting thought was easily caught by Xu Mingyuan.

What she wanted to say the most was, "Xu Mingyuan, why are you pretending to be so noble? Aren't we all the same? It's really troublesome to communicate with you!"

Su Muqing also has a temper, but she doesn't show it. She doesn't want to dwell on this topic anymore and gets out of the car first.

Seeing her walking so fast and maybe finding a deserted corner to brush off the smell on her clothes, Xu Mingyuan wanted to laugh.

"Xu Mingyuan, your words are so harsh."

Tao Shuxin frowned and took a few bites of the remaining skewers, talking while chewing.

"Haha, you are right."

Xu Mingyuan nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help it anymore, so he pulled her little face with a little force.

"It hurts! You're annoying..."

Tao Shuxin opened his hand with a grin, slapped him twice, and took out a few tissues to clean up the scattered food residues.

After packing up the garbage bag, Tao Shuxin asked, "Do you hate Senior Sister Su?"

Tao Shuxin usually had the longest contact with Xu Mingyuan, and she could see that he was not willing to have too much contact with Su Muqing.

Tao Shuxin was quite happy with Xu Mingyuan's behavior, but she felt that Su Muqing had a very good personality, was warm and friendly, and was very easy to communicate with.

"I can't say whether I like you or not. I think she thinks I'm keeping you."

Xu Mingyuan said mysteriously with a wicked smile on his face.

Although this statement was just a joke, it was definitely true that Su Muqing didn't think much of Tao Shuxin.

But it doesn’t matter that Su Muqing looks down on Tao Shuxin, because Xu Mingyuan doesn’t like her either, so the increase and decrease neutralizes the situation.

Tao Shuxin wants to go to the music club to play, and if Su Muqing still wants to get in touch with Xu Mingyuan, she can only treat this silly girl well.

"Ah? No way? She saw all this?"

Tao Shuxin shrank his head, looking shocked.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing her stunned little face, Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

"You're laughing your ass off!"

Tao Shuxin's face flushed red, and she pulled his collar and tore it back and forth to vent her shame and anger.

During the holiday before school started, Tao Shuxin had enough money in her pocket and felt that there was nothing in the world that she could not afford.

However, more than half a month later, she only had a hundred or so yuan left in her pocket, and all her expenses were spent on the small family. Even the money she used to pay for her meal card was borrowed from Xu Mingyuan.

As a result, Tao Shuxin didn't even dare to buy snacks, and had to eat his fruits when she was craving for them.

At the end of the month, if I don’t secretly ask my dad for pocket money, I can only rely on Xu Mingyuan to take care of my food and drinks. It seems that this is no different from being kept as a mistress…

The little girl with a unique way of thinking always makes herself uncomfortable by going around in circles.

Tao Shuxin suddenly didn't want to see anyone, but since they were already there, Xu Mingyuan pulled her into the small Western-style building.

Xu Mingyuan glanced around and found that it was a party hall. There were chess, cards, billiards and other table games in the hall. There were many such places near the university for students to entertain themselves.

Only five or six students from the music club came, and the rest seemed to be from the dance club next door. There were more than twenty people in total, both male and female, it was a college social gathering.

Tao Shuxin walked in and greeted the familiar music club members. When passing by the fruit plate on the bar, she pretended to casually take two dragon fruits and secretly gave one to Xu Mingyuan.

The greedy little girl couldn't help feeling itchy when she saw others eating, and she also wanted to chew something to eat.

Tao Shuxin glanced at the men and women playing board games around her. She thought they were looking for a place to sing, but it turned out to be a social gathering. She looked around in a novel way and was frightened by the stares of students she didn't know.

Xu Mingyuan was not interested in socializing with a bunch of strangers. There were only a few couples present, so the two of them did not disturb their fun and went upstairs to find a small corner to play marbles.

Su Muqing called Xu Mingyuan over, of course it was impossible for her to let him hide in the corner and play marbles all the time.

Not long after, Su Muqing approached with crisp steps and invited with a smile: "Would you like to have a cup of coffee together? Freshly ground coffee beans, not instant."

"Is there any juice?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Uh, just drinks."

"Drinks are fine too."

Xu Mingyuan pulled Tao Shuxin and followed Su Muqing to a private room.

There were three people in the private room, two men and one woman. He had just met them outside and they greeted him again.

One of them is a student from Jiangnan University’s South Campus, named Zhou Qiming. Like Su Muqing, he is also the vice president of the Jiangnan University Alumni Association.

After a few warm words, Zhou Qiming briefly introduced himself and said that his father was the vice president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

The vice president in Jiangcheng is still very influential, and the remaining one man and one woman are both from families with relatively good conditions.

In fact, Xu Mingyuan is quite disgusted with the current trend. These young people have been more or less tainted with the habit of seniority, and believe that contacting unqualified peers will bring bad luck upon themselves.

Even when Xu Mingyuan came in, these people just nodded in response and didn't even think of getting up.

As for interpersonal skills, they have not yet learned the calm aura of their elders, but they have learned to put on airs very well.

Although Xu Mingyuan has not realized the nature of returning to nature, he feels that people should do things according to their age. It is good for young people to have fun, and there is no need to engage in these dull things.

"Senior, give me a cup of coffee."

Seeing the person holding a cup of coffee, Tao Shuxin rubbed his hands with a smile and put down the bottle of drink in his hand.

"Okay."

Su Muqing poured a cup from the coffee machine and placed it in front of her.

Tao Shuxin smacked her lips, carefully picked it up and took a sip, and her face wrinkled into a bun, "Ahem... Senior sister, is it so bitter?"

"You didn't add sugar. Add two spoonfuls and it won't be bitter."

Su Muqing didn't expect that Tao Shuxin didn't even see the sugar and pushed the seasoning box in front of her.

Tao Shuxin added two spoonfuls and stirred it well. After taking a sip, he added two more spoonfuls. After adding two more spoonfuls, the coffee cup was about to burst, so he had to push it to Xu Mingyuan.

"Drink it, don't waste it."

Tao Shuxin now understood Xu Mingyuan's good intentions. The drink was indeed delicious. The coffee had a greasy taste, which she couldn't drink. She felt that it tasted worse than the bagged Nestle coffee.

Xu Mingyuan took a sip and almost vomited because of the sweet and fragrant taste. He quickly put down the cup and said, "Hey, you, why don't you think of me when you have good things, but you are so quick to find bad things."

"How can it be a bad thing? This is the coffee I carefully prepared. Drink it quickly and don't waste the fruits of my labor."

Tao Shuxin smiled wickedly and was about to put the cup into Xu Mingyuan's mouth.

Xu Mingyuan pinched the soft flesh on her waist, Tao Shuxin cried out "Ouch", almost knocked over the cup, put down the cup and wanted to play with him. However, the chatter around her quieted down, and seeing that several classmates who were not very familiar with her seemed to be looking over here, Tao Shuxin coughed lightly, she could not play like Xu Mingyuan without paying attention to others.

Tao Shuxin looked down at her own thick pink coat, then at the fleece jacket she had picked out for him, glanced at the other people's slim-fitting clothes and their meticulously neat collars, and subconsciously zipped up her clothes.

"Xu Mingyuan, are you interested in joining the alumni association?" Zhou Qiming asked when he had time.

"Do you need to pay the membership fee?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"unnecessary."

"Forget it, I don't feel involved, so I won't go."

"Of course it's no problem if you want to make friends. Our alumni association is sponsored by personal friendship." Zhou Qiming said with a smile.

"Let's talk about it later. I don't have any money now." Xu Mingyuan shook his head and refused.

"..."

"Hahaha, Junior Xu really knows how to joke."

Ding Yan, who was standing by, saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull and quickly made a joke.

"Haha, yes, I like to joke."

Since he was given a way out, Xu Mingyuan just went down it.

Su Muqing sat alone, holding a coffee cup, crossing her legs, without saying a word.

From the conversation with Xu Mingyuan in the car just now, Su Muqing understood that he was unwilling to deal with her group from the very beginning. It was a sincere unwillingness from the bottom of his heart, and there was no way to remedy the situation.

However, Su Muqing had already called Xu Mingyuan, so what happened next had nothing to do with her.

"We want to use the platform of Classmates.com to do something practical for the students. There are so many fake and shoddy businesses near Jiangda University, and countless students have been deceived..."

Zhou Qiming spoke of the plan with great vigor and power, while Ding Yan on the side occasionally interjected.

After the boy said two sentences, Xu Mingyuan understood what they wanted to do.

It's nothing more than seeing the good development momentum of Classmates.com, and wanting to join the website to become an online sales channel. If you want to make money, just say it's about making money, and you have to find a high-sounding reason.

Xu Mingyuan felt helpless. This young man spoke bluntly. He had the nerve to come to his house and ask for soup even though they had no relationship.

After they finished speaking, Xu Mingyuan said bluntly: "It can't be done, don't even think about it."

"Don't rush to reject us. We don't want to open a column. We just want to put a post at the top of the forum and we will manage it."

"Okay, tell me, how much do you plan to pay for advertising?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"You can ask for advertising money, but I want an advertising column."

"What the hell? After all this time, you guys just want to get it for free?" Xu Mingyuan was shocked.

As expected, the elder in the family works in the bank. He is so calculating that he has put all his plans on my head. You are quite smart.

Xu Mingyuan didn't want to continue talking nonsense, so he simply asked: "An advertising column is fine, how much do you want to pay?"

"If it's a banner like the one on the Sail MP4, I can give you this amount in a month." Zhou Qiming said, extending his hand.

"How much, five hundred thousand?"

"Five thousand."

"Five, five thousand? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Xu Mingyuan thought, he has been holding it in for a long time, and he can only say five million, or at least five hundred thousand will do. How dare you ask for a thousand?

Seeing Xu Mingyuan looking at him like a fool, Zhou Qiming frowned and said, "We have just started, and we have only invested in a few colleges and universities in Jiangcheng. If the development is good in the future, we can also invest in other regions."

"Okay, I'll think about it first. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Xu Mingyuan didn't want to bother with this group of idiots. He never thought of letting others advertise from the beginning to the end. He was running a monopoly business.

Not only that, Xu Mingyuan will also strengthen community management and not open public registration in order to crack down on and prevent people like them who want to make a fortune.

Classmates.com is a social networking site that aims to create high-quality content. If it is filled with small advertising posts, what kind of user experience can we talk about?

"You can ask for a share if you want."

Zhou Qiming saw that Xu Mingyuan had no intention of cooperating, so he made up his mind and proposed a profit sharing.

"No need. Thank you for the treat. We'll have tea together sometime in the future. I'm not used to coffee."

Xu Mingyuan cursed inwardly at Tao Shuxin, who was still studying the coffee with a spoon, and pushed the door open.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan walk away without giving them any face, the remaining people looked at each other, feeling unhappy.

"Mu Qing, this boy is very arrogant."

Seeing Xu Mingyuan close the door and leave, Ding Yan said to Su Muqing.

"It's great that we finally found someone to come. You guys chat and I'll go take a look."

Su Muqing comforted a few people, then stood up and chased after them.

"Are you leaving now? I want to play marbles for a while."

Seeing Xu Mingyuan pulling her out, and thinking about how she had been beaten by him for more than a dozen rounds and had to endure the ridicule, Tao Shuxin thought about revenge.

"What's there to play? If you want to play, go buy one and put it at home."

"Forget it, there's nothing to do."

Tao Shuxin silently did the math and decided that it would be better to buy a set of checkers, as Xu Mingyuan would definitely not be able to beat him at this.

Xu Mingyuan didn't let Tao Shuxin drive, he just opened the driver's door.

Tao Shuxin, who had experienced the salon party, was less curious, and seeing that Xu Mingyuan didn't want to pay attention to them, she wanted to leave quickly.

"Xu Mingyuan, I'm sorry, how about I treat you and Taotao to a midnight snack? Consider it as an apology, will you give me this favor?"

Su Muqing didn't want to offend Xu Mingyuan easily. After all, he was the most capable peer she could currently meet. Maybe there would be a chance for them to cooperate in the future.

"No, don't you usually associate with these people? Su Muqing, can you be a little more open-minded? I thought you acted so arrogantly all day long, maybe you have come into contact with many capable people, but this is it?"

Xu Mingyuan once saw her chatting enthusiastically with some high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, and thought that she would not be doing too badly now. Unexpectedly, she was just a bunch of idiots.

You want to be a broker with these two skills? You should practice for another ten years.

The iceberg had not yet taken shape, and at this moment, it did not even have a corner. Xu Mingyuan's interest suddenly waned, and he had no desire to spy at all.

Su Muqing looked embarrassed and her smile froze. She was choked by Xu Mingyuan's simple and clear contemptuous words and was speechless.

Looking at the exhaust gas going away, Su Muqing felt angry and simply drove away with them.
