re ice-cold, and they didn't respond as usual.There was no interaction, it was bland. Zhao Tingxing didn't push it, let go of her, pressed the car lock button, and let her out of the car.He didn't lea...Since that phone call, he had paid no more attention to Shu Tinglan's whereabouts. 。His pride and self-respect prevented him from thinking about her anymore. 。Lu Kuo told him that when he heard Shu Tinglan had disappeared, his first reaction was normal. She wasn't one to socialize much anyway. 。It wasn't until a week later, in the dead of night, that he awoke suddenly. He looked up and saw her profile picture was still grayed out. He couldn't help but ask Lu Kuo:

"Isn't she at Senzhou University"

Lu Kuo didn't reply, and he stopped asking. In the end, they were two completely parallel lines. Even during those three years in high school, they only occasionally ran parallel. Most of the time, he was behind her, watching her, without any real interaction. 。Time and busy studies and work can dilute everything, he believes it can dilute everything. 。After that, he didn't think about that person for a long time. 。He kept spinning like a top, non-stop. At the world's top university, there were too many cutting-edge technologies for him to learn. At that time, he had already conceived the idea of starting his own company, and he needed to realize many ideas and creativity. 。Balancing studying, working to make ends meet, and planning a company while dreaming of splitting time in half. There's simply no room for romance with such a demanding schedule. 。By the time he reached his sophomore year, many of his ideas for starting a company had matured and were ready to be put into action, so he finally began to seriously prepare. 。Back then, the smart home market went from its early conceptual germination phase to its pioneering phase and is now rapidly developing. Therefore, Zhuoyuan grasped this development period. 。At that time, his friends Wang Yan and Wen Jian, who were by his side, also expressed strong support upon hearing his plan and were willing to join him for free. Even his teacher was very optimistic about them and promised to give their full support. 。But after all, he was just a poor student. He couldn't afford an office or hire employees, so he set up a few computers in Cui Jie's basement and spent all his time there after class. 。

That basement was where his dreams began. 。When Wen Jian and Wang Yan asked him what name he wanted to give the company, he almost blurted out: Zhuoyuan. 。Wen Jian and Wang Yan both clapped their hands and said: "Good name, excellent, far-reaching, very well-meaning." 。Only Zhu Yu'an remained silent, for many things needn't be explained. Let them understand as they will; that's fine too. 。Starting a business is really tough, especially since they are all just students who haven't graduated yet. Besides their teachers and Cui Jie, no one believes they will succeed. 。He's so busy with his studies and career abroad that he's completely absorbed in them. 。Meanwhile, Tinglan was just as busy and overwhelmed in China. 。

But her busyness is different from Zhuo Yujian's.

Zhuo Yu'an was busy for his dreams, while she was busy for a living. 。She had two part-time jobs while she was in college. One was as a waitress at a coffee shop downtown, where she took orders on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. 。There is also a part-time job teaching a middle school student, from 6 to 8 pm every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for two hours. 。These two part-time jobs not only cover her monthly living expenses, but also allow her to save some money for next semester's tuition. 。At first, Lin Zhi was puzzled why she was so driven. Her aura suggested she came from a wealthy family and had been pampered since childhood, completely unlike someone who was struggling financially. 。Tinglan just smiled and said, “To experience the hardships of life.” 。Lin Zhixuan thought it was a joke, but he didn't know that hardship was the main theme of Tinglan's life. 。。Even in the villa where she was doing her first tutoring job, when she saw that the maid being bossy by the owner and had to endure swallowing her voice with a smile, her own mother, she didn't shed a single tear. She simply quietly quit that well-paying tutoring job. 。Her lie about working as an accountant at a factory was never exposed. 。Maintaining mother's dignity 。

Leaving that villa, she was heartbroken but not a single tear fell from her eyes. 。She thought to herself, how could she be so foolish Her mother wasn't young anymore. Coming to a completely unfamiliar place like Senzhou, which factory would agree to provide food and lodging and hire her as an accountant 。Actually, she didn't realize, she was mistaken again. Her mother wasn't unable to find a factory accountant position; it was just that the pay for a factory accountant was too low compared to being a nanny. 。Her mother wants to save money as soon as possible to buy her a house in Senzhou, so she'll have a place to live. 。After returning, Tinglan took up this tutoring job and also found a part-time job at a coffee shop. 。Both jobs were in the city center, quite far from Sen Da. She was always the last one back to the dormitory every night. 。She had tried her best to keep her voice down while showering and washing up at night, but the occasional sound still irritated Gao Gao on the other side. He grumbled loudly: "It's so noisy! Can't I get some sleep You come back so late every day, I have no idea what you do all day." 。Listening had not yet answered, but Lin Zhe from beside her suddenly sat up from the darkness and said to Gao Gao: “What are you shouting for Is it just because you have a loud voice Shu Shu is already being very careful.” 。"Don't you even think about it. You keep making phone calls and chatting late at night, that's disgusting! Haven't we talked to you about this"

"Who's being disgusting I haven't been going through boyfriends like some people do every day." 。“

The atmosphere, which was originally tense and on edge, almost made Lin Zhicheng rush forward to fight.

“Oh, it turns out you’re jealous of Chengcheng,” Tinglan chuckled softly in the darkness.

” 。I'm sorry to have disturbed you. 。Then, she carried the basin and went out of the dormitory, leaving everyone behind. 。The dim light from outside the corridor streamed into the dormitory, illuminating Gao with an expression of fury and frustration. 。Lin Zhihao then got out of bed and chased after her. 。She's a soft-spoken person, but don't let that fool you. She's tough and won't stand for anyone messing with her. 。Tinglan was brushing her teeth and washing her face, and she just smiled beside her and said something out of the blue: "Actually, I haven't even had a boyfriend yet, it's so unfair." 。Lin Zhifei is a flirt, she's always nice to every boy who comes close, but none of them have caught her eye, so she hasn't even had a boyfriend yet. 。Tinglan was brushing her teeth and didn't have time to answer. 。She went on to ask, "Don't you get tired from running back and forth every day"

Tinglan shook her head. 。"Will you be going to the coffee shop again tomorrow, Saturday"Tinglan nodded. 。"Poor Shushu, how about I take you in Don't work so hard, my meal card goes uneaten every month anyway." 。"Lin Zhixuan, half-jokingly and half-seriously, actually probably guessed about Tinglan's family situation. It was probably that his father had passed away, and his mother didn't have a regular job." 。Then, Tinglan hadn't told her about his own affairs. 。Tinglan finally finished brushing her teeth and playfully replied, "Okay, you raise me" 。”njured and requires surgery. They have been airlifted back to a well-equipped hospital in the city center for treatment." 。For the rest of the wounded, our team can handle them, no major issues. 。"Har...
