Chapter 1774: Gossiping is so much fun!
This Wu Kaichen, I heard, is the nephew of some school leader, their relationship is extraordinary, so it's only natural that he's arrogant.
However, if he wanted to buy another house, there might have been room for maneuver, but the house he specifically wanted was Shen Xi's...
Of course, the logistics department colleagues said no, but they simply wouldn't listen.
He came to see Shen Xi once, asking to change rooms without even a word of address. Shen Xi simply ignored him and didn't give him a second glance.
I heard that he hated her and told his other colleagues that he would teach Shen Xi a lesson.
"If I can't have this house, no one else can."
Shen Xi:......
My goodness, even when Xi Chen was at his worst, when he was the most ill-tempered of the domineering CEO, he wasn't this childish. Does he expect her to pay for the house with her money?
Neuropathy!
Shen Xi wasn't afraid of him at all.
When Shen Xi ran into Wu Kaichen on the street, he rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. Shen Xi really couldn't communicate with this chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) patient.
She couldn't understand why this young man, so fixated on Shen Xi's apartment, seemed so... unworldly.
A guy like that will definitely be taught a lesson by someone. As for whether it will be her, that depends on whether he will offend her.
So what if you have powerful connections?
To be honest, most people who can get into a place like University A have connections or backgrounds.
At noon today, Shen Xi and Ma Shile went to the cafeteria for lunch. On the way, they picked up Deng Wenjun, who was waiting nearby. The gossipy trio reunited and were all very happy.
Previously, Deng Wenjun and Ma Shile would eat together. Shen Xi lived nearby and had her husband's lovingly prepared lunch, so she wouldn't hang out with people who lived far away.
Now, the school cafeteria food is actually really delicious, cheap and plentiful, and she loves it.
The cafeteria ladies also miss Shen Xi very much. She has been coming to eat every day recently, and they are just as enthusiastic as when they first met her. Even their hands no longer shake when serving the food. If they do shake, they will shake in plenty of meat.
Shen Xi praised this one for being beautiful, that one for being young, another for being energetic, and said that those who gained weight were blessed, while those who lost weight had even better figures. She used several adjectives back and forth, making all the aunties serving the food laugh heartily.
Even Ma Shile and Deng Wenjun benefited from this, reaping a lot of good deals.
The older women reluctantly told Shen Xi to come again when he had time.
It's no wonder they were reluctant to part with Shen Xi. There are so many teachers at the school, some are polite, some are friendly and smiling, but only Shen Xi has a sweet tongue, a beautiful smile, and can get along well with them.
Teacher Shen used to join in when they gossiped. Although she joined unintentionally when she came to the cafeteria to eat and drink for free, she was still one of them, like family.
Now, seeing Shen Xi is like seeing a daughter returning to her parents' home. They want to pile all the good food onto her plate, since it's public property and they don't need to spend their own money.
Ma Shile and Deng Wenjun, carrying overflowing, oily food, happily went to reserve seats first, leaving Shen Xi for the older women to enjoy.
When Shen Xi came over and sat down, they said happily, "Xiao Xi, it's so nice to have you. The aunties are so much more friendly now."
Shen Xi laughed. Actually, the older women are all very nice people. It's just that when they're working, their resentment is greater than a ghost's, regardless of age or profession.
If you smile sweetly and speak sweetly, the older women will naturally like you; that's just how people are.
Who doesn't like someone who speaks sweetly? Even if you know they're lying, it's still pleasant to hear; it's about emotional value, regardless of whether it's true or false.
I believe no one in this world likes to hear unpleasant words, because they are true, right?
Why did Emperor Qianlong still favor Heshen so much, even though he knew Heshen was a corrupt official?
Everyone understands the logic, but when given a choice, people still prefer sweet-talking flatterers.
However, Ma Shile and Deng Wenjun simply couldn't do it.
One is a cold and aloof girl from a good family, whose words are naturally incapable of being sweet; the other is simply unable to utter a kind word due to her personality, as if you were choking her.
Shen Xi is different; she's thick-skinned and can say anything flattering without hesitation. There's nothing she wouldn't dare to say.
The three of them sat together, disregarding the rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping, and chatted happily while eating.
In fact, Ma Shile would never talk while eating before. Her family had strict rules, and if anyone dared to chat at the dinner table, they would be hit by the adults with chopsticks.
But ever since I met Shen Xi...
After one or two times, and several times, she couldn't resist anymore.
The joy of gossiping while eating is something only we understand. Who can resist joining in when listening to gossip? Even those who have quit drugs can't.
Besides, Deng Wenjun has a wide network of gossips (she's from the same hometown as the cleaning lady), Ma Shile has many connections (she has many local relatives and friends), and Shen Xi is a champion of support; even passing dogs are happy to chat with her.
Today's topic is Yu Yiran's marriage to Ding Yang.
They had all received Yu Yiran's wedding invitation that morning.
Ma Shile: "I heard they got their marriage certificate during the summer vacation and are planning to hold their wedding in October."
Deng Wenjun: "I never expected that Yu Yiran would still marry him in the end. I originally thought that she looked down on Teacher Ding."
Ma Shile: "Ding Yang is not bad. He is a returnee from overseas, has good family connections, has a wedding house, and the location is also good. How is he not good enough for Yu Yiran?"
Although Yu Yiran was also a returnee from overseas, her family was of average means. She went abroad on a scholarship and wanted to stay in the United States after graduation, but she didn't. Coincidentally, University A was in dire need of people in her major that year, so she seized the opportunity and got in.
As expected of the person with the widest network of information, Ma Shile whispered to them, "I heard that she almost married a local in order to stay in Niuguo, but for some reason the marriage fell through, and she returned to China in despair."
Shen Xi and Deng Wenjun simultaneously gave her a thumbs up: "Amazing! You even know that."
Ma Shile proudly smoothed her bangs and smiled sweetly.
Deng Wenjun nudged Shen Xi: "I told you that she used to think about switching rooms with you every day, and that the air quality in Hecheng was not as good as over there, and I was wondering to you at the time, why would she come back when it's so good over there? Turns out it wasn't that she wanted to come back, it was that she had no choice."
Shen Xi smiled but didn't say anything.
Yu Yiran, well, she's not a particularly bad person, but she's not a particularly kind person either.
Her biggest principle in dealing with people is to consider their interests.
If it benefits you, she'll be nice to you; if it's not useful to her, she'll just maintain a facade of politeness. But if you're in competition with her, she'll be all smiles on the surface while secretly plotting against you.
Moreover, she has high standards, and a suitable marriage partner like Yu Yang, who is neither good nor bad, is simply not within her range of choices. That's why everyone was so surprised to receive the wedding invitation today.
The kind of surprise you get when you talk about it like it's gossip.
Who told her to have looked down on Ding Yang so much back then?
