Chapter 202: Checkout (6th Update)
Miao Qingqing shook her head with a look of disappointment and said, "That’s just his stubborn nature, obstinately insisting on doing things on his own and not wanting help from others. I can’t usually get through to him, but now you all have to give him a good talking to."
Song Xiaodong’s face darkened at this. Miao Qingqing was kicking him when he was down. Seeing the smug smile she tried to hide, Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her, which only made Miao Qingqing even more pleased with herself.
Whenever she was with Song Xiaodong, she always came out worse off and never got the better of him. It was rare for her to have such an opportunity, so naturally, she couldn’t let it pass.
With Miao Qingqing saying this, everyone was even more enthusiastic in persuading Song Xiaodong. It was as if not accepting their help was a grave mistake. In the end, Song Xiaodong reluctantly agreed to appease them for the time being.
But it had to be said, that at this moment, his classmates showed more camaraderie than they had at the beginning, which made him dislike them less.
Once Song Xiaodong had agreed, everyone acted as if they had accomplished something incredible, their spirits even higher.
Zhou Peng said, "Xiaodong, let me tell you, I can make a few hundred thousand a year at my company. It might not sound like much, but in less than five years, my company will definitely go public. Stick with me, and you’ll definitely become an executive, reaching the peak of your career. Otherwise, you really won’t be worthy of Miao Qingqing; the gap is too big."
"Song Xiaodong, I’m envious of you. You really latched onto a big tree like Zhou Peng. When you make it big in the future, don’t forget us brothers."
"Yeah, you’ve got to work hard for Zhou Peng in the future, otherwise, you’d be letting down all your classmates’ good intentions."
"Sure, sure, I definitely will." Song Xiaodong grimaced, a look of misery on his face, which made Miao Qingqing even more triumphant.
After dinner, everyone wanted to keep the fun going and suggested going to sing karaoke.
"Let’s go, let’s go to Longcheng Karaoke Hall," Zhou Peng proposed.
