Chapter Thirty-Seven Impersonation

  Back in the dormitory, Zhou Ling saw Ning Qing's face full of hidden smiles and asked suspiciously: "Did you pick up a gold coin halfway? Or are you in love?"

  Since Wu Meimei and Mo Xiaohong were not there, Ning Qingmin pulled Zhou Ling over and told him about buying a booth.

  "Wow, you're so bold, if you lose, who will you cry to? Your mom and grandma are guarding that small eatery in the countryside, it's not easy to earn a few thousand yuan, but you've put everything into this storefront." Zhou Ling pinched Ning Qingmian's hand, "Fortunately, we made a profit, scared me to death."

  "My mom isn't letting me help Zhang Yu find a job? That Zhang Yu is eloquent and seems like business material, I think I'll let her take care of the storefront first. If the business takes off, she can follow me in doing business. If it doesn't work out, I'll help her find another job." Also, sometimes customers need to try on clothes, and the girls working at the store also have to serve as temporary models. Zhang Yu's tall and slender figure is just right for this. Afraid that Zhou Ling would suspect how she knew so much, Ning Qing instead didn't say anything more, only pinched Zhou Ling's hand to stop her from pinching further, turned her head and smiled to ask: "Do you think this arrangement is good?"

  "It's a good arrangement. But, you have to study and do business at the same time, can you handle it?" Zhou Ling asked in doubt, "Doing business may make money quickly, but losing money is also quick. Do you have the capital to handle it?"

  "Let's try it for a month, if it doesn't work out, we can transfer the storefront, no loss." Ning Qing thought about the explosive popularity of Zhu Xiu's products at home and abroad, and was very confident, but didn't know how to tell Zhou Ling, so she could only comfort her first, lest she worry.

  "By the way, have you told your mom?"

  "Not yet, let me tell you, you're so worried about me, as for my mom's side, I won't mention it for now, let's talk about it later." He said, and then made a phone call back home, asked for Zhang Yujia's phone number, and dialed it.

  Zhang Yu listened to Ning Qingming say that she would come over first to help a friend look at the stall, with food and accommodation provided for 1,000 yuan a month. The working hours were only from 9 am to 5 pm, and after a month, they would decide whether to continue looking at the stall or go to work. Zhang Yu was so excited that she shouted: "Qingming sister, helping someone look at the stall is of course better than working, and you can also learn how to do business!"

  Ning Qing instructed Zhang Yu to discuss with his family and then set a date to come over by car.

  After finishing the phone call, Zhou Ling had already taken out his meal card and said, "Let's go, I'm starving to death."

  "I just got back and was going to grab lunch on the way, but I realized I forgot my meal card. I've been careless lately." Ning Qingming smiled and took out his own meal card, tapping it and saying: "There's not much money left on this card either, need to go top it up!"

  "You're now a 'wannuanhu' (a person with 10,000 yuan), why bother topping up? Just go eat at a restaurant outside. Zhou Ling joked, "I'm still waiting for you to take me out to eat spicy food!"

  "Darling, that day will come! " Ning Qingmin changed into her shoes and said: "When the time comes, I'll take you to Bai Tian'e to eat."

  "It's no wonder you're a 'big shot', your ambitions are far-reaching." Zhou Ling said with a smile, seeing the phone ring again, prompting Ning Qing to "must be looking for you again, answer it quickly!"

  Ning Qingmin picked up the phone, and it was Xiao Yesen's voice.

  "Qing Min, can you help me out? " asked Xiao Ye Sheng with a somewhat urgent tone. "During the New Year's gathering at home, I had a bit too much to drink and bragged that I already have a girlfriend since entering university. To my surprise, they took it seriously. Coincidentally, my uncle came over today for some business and dropped by to see me, saying he wants to invite me and my girlfriend out for dinner. Can you pretend to be my girlfriend and help me get through this?"

  "Uh!" Ning Qing was taken aback for a moment. "Just tell them that you lied at the time and admit your mistake."

  "It's so humiliating." Xiao Yesong pleaded: "Just help me once, it's just a meal."

  Zhou Ling, who was standing beside them, grabbed the phone and said: "Xiao Ban Zhang, take me along too. It'll be more lively when we eat together. If your uncle asks any embarrassing questions, I can help you guys block him."

  Ning Qingmin rushed over to grab the phone and shouted: "Xiao Ban Zhang, Zhou Ling is so enthusiastic, why not just let her pretend to be your girlfriend?"

  "No way, Mingzhi will kill me. Can you just help me out?" Xiao Yesi pleaded and coaxed, saying all sorts of good things to him.

  "Eating a meal can help others, just agree!" Zhou Ling chimed in from the side, tugging at Ning Qing's sleeve. Seeing Ning Qing still hesitating, she snatched the phone and said: "Xiao Team Leader, which restaurant are you at? I'll drag Qing over, don't worry!"

  After hearing Zhou Ling's few words on the phone, Ning Qingmin was crying and laughing, "Eating a meal is not a big deal, but pretending to be a girlfriend is unnecessary. What if he has relatives coming in the future, should I pretend again? This matter will eventually be exposed."

  "You really treat him as your girlfriend, and you won't expose him." Zhou Ling smiled mischievously, "Seriously, don't you think Xiao Ban Zhang has a crush on you?"

  "A guy talks to a girl for a few more sentences, and you say they're interested." Ning Qingming rolled her eyes, "I think, Xiao Ban Zhang thinks I'm his emergency buddy."

  "Alas!" Zhou Ling made a helpless expression, "So you still haven't figured it out!"

  "You promised someone, don't make them wait, let's go!" Ning Qingmin tapped on Zhou Ling's head and pulled him away.

  Two people walked and talked about things in class, passing the canteen entrance, when a girl's loud shout suddenly came, "Dang Wen Ge, wait for me!"

  Ning Qingmin and Zhou Ling turned their heads to see Sun Dangwen walking quickly in front, followed by a chubby girl.

  "Haha......"

  Zhou Ling and Ning Qingming couldn't help but burst out laughing at each other.

  "I heard that this girl was Sun Dangwen's neighbor when he was a kid, and she's studying at a vocational school. A few days ago, I don't know how she found out that Sun Dangwen is in this university, but she came looking for him. Xiao Banlong said that this girl went to their dormitory and claimed to be Sun Dangwen's girlfriend." Zhou Ling covered her mouth and laughed, "Poor Party Wen classmate, such a sticky peach blossom, he can't take it."

  "A plump peach blossom, with Sun Dangwen's weak body, can't really take it." Ning Qingming also joked and turned to look at Zhou Ling, showing concern: "You have to take good care of your Mingzhi brother, or else you'll be in trouble when the green plum and bamboo horse come looking for him."

  "What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Ling pushed Ning Qingmeng, suddenly feeling a bit distracted. He had always been ambiguous with Jiang Mingzhi, and Jiang Mingzhi seemed to be a bit disheartened as well. Lately, he hadn't been looking for him much, maybe he had already given up!

  "What's wrong, did I really hit the nail on the head?" Ning Qing saw Zhou Ling suddenly fall silent and said in a low voice: "Jiang Mingzhi is not bad either, don't keep dangling him!"

  "I've heard that things that are too easily obtained will not be cherished, so..." Zhou Ling said in a low voice, almost inaudible, "I actually really like him!"

  Ning Qingmin shook Zhou Ling's hand and said, "You're so indifferent to him, he might think you don't like him and shift his target!"

  "Really!" Zhou Ling's voice suddenly turned cold. Ning Qing followed Zhou Ling's gaze and saw Jiang Mingzhi, who was pulling a girl over!
