Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Jiang Xinyi studied finance, so she understood Zhou Yuwen's company's books at a glance, and knew that although Zhou Yuwen had a big operation, he really didn't earn much. Sometimes, he genuinely just worked hard to pave the way for the students.

Honestly, Jiang Xinyi quite appreciated Zhou Yuwen for this, feeling that starting a business wasn't easy. She was embarrassed to exploit Zhou Yuwen, but then her mother came over, and Jiang Xinyi found out.

Good grief, are you some kind of Zhou skinflint? So wealthy!?

So rich, yet you pretend to be stingy with me, huh!? I must take you for a good cleaning out!

Jiang Xinyi grabbed onto Zhou Yuwen, not letting him leave. Tonight, he had to treat her to a big meal. Do you know that I, the young miss, haven't eaten anything nice for half a month?

Just for the subsidy application I helped you get, shouldn't you treat me to a nice meal?

Zhou Yuwen said, "You're kidding me, Sister Xinyi, your mom rides in a Maybach, and you're telling me you're broke!? Do you think I'd believe that?"

"My mom's money isn't my money. I even borrowed money for my trip to Mongolia. I don't care; I'm latching onto you these next few days. One meal isn't enough, you have to treat me every day!" Jiang Xinyi was actually telling the truth. It was the end of December; her living expenses had long been spent. After helping Zhou Yuwen get an 80,000 yuan business subsidy, wasn't it right to freeload a few meals?

Zhou Yuwen said, I don't have any money either.

"A million yuan spent on your food?"

"You believe the hype online?"

"Well, I don't care, you have to treat me today."

"What if I don't?"

"Then I'll just hang around you like this~"

"You're shameless," Zhou Yuwen said.

"Hmph~"

Jiang Xinyi spoke to Zhou Yuwen in this manner because she genuinely saw him as a friend. You must know, even if You Changjin rushed to pay the bill, she wouldn't be happy about it. Moreover, Jiang Xinyi did indeed secure the business subsidy for Zhou Yuwen, and all her freedom and equality were based on having enough strength of her own.

Zhou Yuwen was not unwilling to treat this rich young lady to a meal. It was just that he hadn't quite figured out what kind of food suited the temperament of this rich young lady.

Thus, Zhou Yuwen tentatively asked, how about we just eat in the cafeteria then?

"Zhou Yuwen, are you speaking human words? A millionaire like you, treating me to the cafeteria?"

Zhou Yuwen said, what does it matter where we eat? It's not what you eat, but who you eat with that's important.

"Get lost!" Jiang Xinyi rolled her eyes at Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen smiled and said, sure, it's still early now, Sister Xinyi, let's finish our work properly, and I'll treat you to a big meal later, okay?

Jiang Xinyi was then satisfied, saying, now that sounds like a decent proposition.

Zhou Yuwen hadn't arrived until after two in the afternoon, and Liu Jing had been in the office for less than 20 minutes in total, so there was still plenty of time. When Liu Jing had come, she had even brought Jiang Xinyi a pot of chicken soup.

Zhou Yuwen was the one who brought Liu Jing over, so he knew about it and told Jiang Xinyi to drink the soup while it was hot. It was winter, after all; a sip of hot chicken soup warms both the stomach and the heart.

However, for someone like Jiang Xinyi, who had been enveloped by love since she was a child, her mother's care was taken for granted. She said she needed to save her appetite for the big meal.

Zhou Yuwen said, then you'd be letting down Auntie's kind intentions, right?

"Do you want to drink it?"

"Would that be appropriate?"

"Take it if you want to drink it."

"I just hate to see it go to waste."

Jiang Xinyi gave Zhou Yuwen a look, as if to say, do you think I'd believe that?

But Zhou Yuwen was indeed not shy about it. After all, it was chicken soup made by a wealthy family, and just by smelling it, one could tell it was delicious. The ingredients added to the soup were valuable Chinese herbs, and while ginseng need not be mentioned, the only one Zhou Yuwen could recognize was the goji berries. Zhou Yuwen had just used up most of what he had for Qu Jing, and within a short time, he finished two small bowls of chicken soup.

Jiang Xinyi didn't drink none of it; she had two sips, purely for the taste. As for the chicken meat and fish maw in the soup, she didn't touch any of it. She was really tired of eating those.

Seeing Zhou Yuwen polish off everything inside in no time, Jiang Xinyi was actually quite pleased. It saved her the trouble of washing dishes, right?

For the entire afternoon, Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi worked in the office to finalize the business subsidy matter. Of course, they weren't just in the office the whole time; they had to submit the application forms to the office too.

The office head knew Jiang Xinyi's tutor, and since Jiang Xinyi had been running there frequently these past few days, they'd become familiar. Jiang Xinyi was efficient and precise, always able to pinpoint the crux of any issue, which is why she was so liked by the teachers. Having added two more forms in the office of the Student Entrepreneurship Center, Jiang Xinyi then asked when the business subsidy could likely be transferred.

The teacher pushed up his glasses and said, "If it's quick, the payment could be made before the first."

"Then thank you, teacher," Jiang Xinyi was very polite.

The teacher smiled and said it was nothing. You met the criteria, and we are just helping things along.

After everything was handled, Zhou Yuwen left the office following a triumphant Jiang Xinyi, who asked, "How about that? Having me on a 4,000 yuan monthly salary for a month is not a bad deal, right?"

Zhou Yuwen said it was certainly worth it.

"Then how do you plan to reward me?"

"The big meal is already prepared," Zhou Yuwen said as he opened the passenger door.

Jiang Xinyi settled into the seat contentedly, then Zhou Yuwen started the car.

After all, she wasn't a girl from an ordinary family. Seeing million-yuan luxury cars was nothing new to her, even if she didn't ride them often. She could casually fiddle with the air conditioning when she did ride them occasionally.
