Lu Yuning Fantasizes Again

"Sister Jialu, you are so amazing! With you there, they didn't dare give me any trouble. Boohoo... I really can't thank you enough!"

Outside the office building.

Lu Yuning was hugging a cardboard box containing her personal belongings from the company.

She didn't have much, so packing was quick. However, what Lu Yuning hadn't expected was that the resignation procedures would be completed even faster than her packing.

It was truly an eye-opener.

In some intangible way, Lu Yuning had witnessed the power of money. The aura radiating from Zhou Jialu made her incredibly envious.

Faced with her compliments, Zhou Jialu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What are you talking about? I don't think I'm actually older than you. Stop calling me 'Sister,' just call me Xiaolu."

"Oh, oh, okay... Huh?!"

This shocked Lu Yuning once again.

After asking carefully several times, she finally accepted the fact.

Zhou Jialu was still a senior in college; chronologically speaking, she was two years younger than Lu Yuning!

Yet, the mature and confident air about her made her seem like a reliable big sister. Meanwhile, she, Lu Yuning, still seemed like a wide-eyed, naive student. Was this simply the gap in natural talent between people?

Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't that hard to accept.

After all, Lu Yuning had seen some seniors who studied a lot and worked in technical fields. Some were nearly thirty but still looked like college students.

The reverse was also true; some female classmates started mixing in strange circles as soon as they entered university, and by the time they graduated, they were already full of weary worldliness and looked aged.

Of course, this wasn't to say that Zhou Jialu had that weary look. Quite the opposite—Zhou Jialu was a completely positive example in Lu Yuning's mind.

Charming without being vulgar, while possessing a very powerful presence.

"I really admire you, Jialu... I need to learn more from you in the future and strive to create work that satisfies Su Bai as soon as possible!"

Lu Yuning issued a military order to herself.

Her serious little expression was just short of a primary school student giving a salute.

Zhou Jialu watched this, her thoughts spinning.

She absolutely did not believe that Su Bai was interested solely in Lu Yuning's professional skills.

Based on her years of observing girls, this girl was absolutely top-tier.

She just didn't like to dress up, and with her natural curls and completely unstyled hair, her beauty appeared average at first glance.

And those two magnificent assets of hers were truly fine goods.

Purely natural with no artificial ingredients.

Actually, it was easy to tell if such things had artificial components.

One only had to look at the way they trembled when she walked.

Zhou Jialu even realized that this girl was bigger than she was. Oh my, it seemed the 'big bosom' track around Junior Su Bai had gained another competitor.

Since that was the case, Su Bai definitely had extra intentions toward this girl.

She might even be a reserve candidate for a confidante.

It made sense. Lu Yuning looked like a well-behaved girl with a very clean background. It felt like Su Bai liked this type—clean, untouched by men.

To be honest, what man didn't like possessing all of a girl's firsts?

It was just that, on one hand, it was a matter of luck and social circles, and on the other, one's own conditions might not be enough to attract such a girl.

The so-called conditions included economic strength as well as personal qualities like looks and physique.

Picking up girls was quite an effort these days.

Fortunately, Su Bai had good luck, a good social circle, and high economic stats.

With this in mind, Zhou Jialu had a brainwave and asked, "Yuning, since you don't need to go to that office anymore, shouldn't you change where you live? I remember you saying earlier that you share a place with two female friends, right?"

"Mhm, that's right..."

The area where she shared the apartment was quite expensive.

It belonged to a part of Jiangcheng with high housing prices but poor housing quality.

That statement might sound contradictory, but it actually contained a profound truth: such areas were essentially where companies were concentrated and migrant workers clustered.

Many apartments had poor layouts, or were simply self-built houses in urban villages.

Lu Yuning chose to share a place here with her roommates purely to be close to the company.

Well, how should one put it... she actually quite liked staying in bed.

As long as she could ensure she wouldn't be late, she would sleep for every extra moment she could get.

Living every day carrying such a heavy burden on her chest, her cervical spine and shoulders were quite exhausted. Only by lying down to sleep could she get full rest and relief.

Three people sharing an apartment of over eighty square meters meant the rent for each person was over a thousand yuan a month.

For young workers, this level of rent was still quite painful.

Fresh graduates in ordinary industries in Jiangcheng generally earned only four or five thousand yuan. Many of these jobs didn't even include social insurance and housing fund benefits...

One-fifth to one-quarter of their monthly income went to rent. Add in the cost of filling their stomachs, and there really wasn't much money left.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Yuning felt Su Bai was paying her too much.

"I'll move wherever the boss needs me to move," Lu Yuning declared.

A monthly income of one hundred thousand! Even if he demanded she move directly into a factory warehouse and work the night shift every day, she would be willing.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jialu shook her head slightly, a mysterious smile playing on her lips. "The boss probably doesn't have a specific preference. How about this? I'll ask him for you. Let's find a place to have breakfast first."

Reminded by Zhou Jialu, Lu Yuning realized she hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

Immediately, her stomach made a somewhat embarrassing sound, and she lowered her head, blushing.

"So-sorry..."

"What is there to be sorry about? Come on, let's go eat~"

Zhou Jialu naturally linked arms with her, acting like a best friend she had known for years, and pulled Lu Yuning toward the car.

Such a scene was something Lu Yuning had never experienced in her life. With her personality, she had always had very few friends since childhood.

In middle school, she did have a female desk mate she was close with, but they drifted apart for various reasons and could only remain internet friends.

As for those two roommates, their relationship was okay, and they were nice to her, but Lu Yuning couldn't really hang out with them. Those two liked clubbing and seeking thrills, whereas on her days off, Lu Yuning just wanted to stay home, watch movies, or look up the latest design trends.

Perhaps this Miss Zhou Jialu, who was younger than her but appeared much more mature, could become her best friend?

At this thought, Lu Yuning felt a dizzying sense of happiness in her mind. This was just too wonderful—a high-paying job and a particularly outstanding friend, all obtained at once.

Since that was the case, what about romance...

An image of Su Bai in the nightclub suddenly flashed before Lu Yuning's eyes.

The high-end suit, the handsome face, and that pleasant, approachable voice...

He was simply like a male lead walking out of a romantic idol drama.
