Chapter 720: Chapter 258: Recruiting Qin Shiqing into the Company
The guy claimed he had to rush to handle some paperwork at the office and would join them later for karaoke.
Zhang Yuanhang knew he was a busy man and didn’t insist.
In fact, Su Zelin didn’t have any paperwork; he went with Song Yuwei to her apartment right after work.
Nanaz went to intern in Jinling, so he’s been spending more time with the female assistant lately, staying over unless there’s something urgent.
While Song Yuwei was cooking in the kitchen, Su Zelin sat on the couch in the living room, turned on the news channel, and chatted on QQ.
Mainly chatting with Nanaz.
When one of his girlfriends wasn’t around, Su Zelin increased their communication on messaging apps. Even if they were far apart, he couldn’t let his girlfriend feel neglected.
This is when they need attention the most; sometimes, a few casual greetings each day can make them feel warm.
No matter how busy he gets, small daily greetings can’t be forgotten.
But now there’s also Qin Shiqing.
Yishuai: "Nanaz, I heard a cold front is coming the day after tomorrow, keep warm!"
Copied it once, and sent it to Qin Shiqing with a flip of a hand.
But changed "Nanaz" to "Shiqing".
Soon, he received replies from both girls.
With mobile QQ, unless their phones were dead, they were almost always connected and reachable 24/7.
Nanaz: "I will, darling, you too. Oh, by the way, I learned a new yoga pose recently, can’t wait to show you when I get back to school!"
Sunny Day: "Got it, you too, don’t work yourself too hard, you might overstrain your body."
The replies were similar, but with subtle differences.
It was obvious that Nanaz was more lively and flirty.
While Qin Shiqing was more reserved and showed more concern in return.
Yishuai: "Hehe, actually, I’ve been working out too. Recently, I’ve increased the number of push-ups I can do by a few dozen, aiming to break a thousand!"
Again, two identical messages, miraculously they both aligned perfectly with the chat with the two girls.
To a rascal like this, managing a 1V2 chat on QQ was just a minor task. In the past, he could handle 1V4, 1V5 chat sessions easily.
It’s impossible, replying individually is too time-consuming; he had to rely on some tricks.
However, having a sharp mind helped; not everyone could be a player managing four to five people with one line. Being a jerk isn’t a job for just anyone.
This particular response for Qin Shiqing, the word "also" was a bit redundant, but she surely wouldn’t notice such a detail.
Ding Linna felt a slight flutter in her heart.
Her boyfriend was already quite good at push-ups, and now his limit has increased.
Nanaz: "Really? You’re still committed to working out even when I’m not around. Have you met some new pretty freshmen at the sports ground?"
Sunny Day: "Xiaolinzi, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Experts say appropriate intensity is key in exercise; too much can be counterproductive and harm your body!"
Yishuai: "How could I? I need to work out more so you can be truly happy!"
Sending out copies of the messages again.
Nanaz: "You tease!"
Sunny Day: "You tease!"
After sending out mirrored messages for a while, Ding Linna changed the topic.
Nanaz: "I heard you went to Shenghai yesterday and treated your intern classmates to a meal?"
For specific topics, he couldn’t manage a 1V2 chat.
But his practice in twirling pens for finger dexterity proved useful.
With fingers flying, he tapped away on the mobile keyboard, calmly handling both conversations at once.
Yishuai: "Oh, how did you know?"
Nanaz: "Ah Xi told me, said she was happy to see you after so long."
Wow, this girl is quite clever, reporting to her bestie first. Nanaz wouldn’t suspect what he was up to that night with her.
A clever girl indeed!
Nanaz, you probably would never guess what your plastic bestie and I were up to behind your back.
Thinking this, he tapped away merrily.
Yishuai: "Indeed, everyone was quite happy, and we talked a lot about our internship experiences."
Nanaz: "Ah, I envy them. I wish you could visit Jinling sometime!"
Yishuai: "There will be a chance. Our company has business in Gusu, I’ll have to take some time to visit before the winter vacation!"
Nanaz: "Really? You’ll have to at least take time to have a meal with me!"
Yishuai: "Just a meal? Then maybe I won’t go!"
Nanaz: "You tease! What about a ’quad-accompany’?"
Yishuai: "Now that’s something I can do!"
...
After chatting casually with the two girls for a bit, he ended the conversation on the pretext of needing to eat.
Daily greetings are a must but shouldn’t be overdone, or they’ll become monotonous, leading to awkward chats lacking in interest and anticipation.
Moreover, if you devote too much time to chatting with your girlfriend, she’ll think she is your entire world, and over time, won’t tolerate anyone else’s existence.
Simply put, you’ll spoil her.
So it’s best to engage just enough and pull back at the right moment, saving yourself time and energy, achieving the best of both worlds.
Having had dinner with Song Yuwei, Su Zelin wasn’t in a hurry to meet up. It was just after seven; there was still plenty of time. Zhang Yuanhang’s dinner might not even be over, and they’d only head to the KTV around nine.
With nothing else to do after eating, Su Zelin and Miss Song took a walk in the neighborhood garden.
Girls with different personalities have their own favorite aspects of a love life, and interacting with them varies by person.
For instance, taking a post-dinner walk with Su Zelin was Song Yuwei’s favorite. At this time, she was always the most relaxed and happy. If she occasionally wanted to play it cool, just take her to a high-end venue.
