Chapter 179

After leaving the quiet Jiaotong University campus, Yang Tianxing did not return to the Finance Institute in the Chang'an District, nor did he go to the Northwestern Polytechnical University in Yanta; he really didn't want to ride in a car anymore, even taking a taxi felt tiring, so he went directly to a hotel near Jiaotong University with Shao Ziyang.

The young woman at the front desk was very young, looking about 16 or 17 years old, with some baby fat on her face; Yang Tianxing woke her up after entering the door.

She flipped through the vacancy records in a daze and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, there is only one room with a large bed left, do you need a business suite instead?"

"That's fine, one room with a large bed is enough."

Yang Tianxing said indifferently; he and Shao Ziyang could just squeeze in together.

It is quite difficult to find temporary lodging in hotels near universities, regardless of whether you are at a 985 university or a regular college.

The baby-faced attendant looked surprised: "Two boys are sharing a room to sleep?"

"Otherwise what, are we going to play Gomoku all night?" Yang Tianxing thought the chubby girl was making a mountain out of a molehill.

After they went upstairs with the room card, the little attendant seemed to have thought of something, and said with a look of disgust: "So these really exist, I thought it was all just joking around, how can two men do this kind of thing..."

After arriving at the room, Shao Ziyang flopped onto the bed and fell fast asleep, while Yang Tianxing took a shower and then used the hotel's landline to call Zhao Qingxun.

He called three times before Zhao Qingxun finally answered the unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is this?"

Zhao Qingxun's voice was groggy.

"It's your male best friend, Yang Tianxing."

"It's so late, why are you calling me?"

"I didn't know you were already resting; I just wanted to ask, which company do you intend to choose, Lianfa or Jinjie?"

Chen Hanxheng asked with a smile.

Lianfa belonged to Yu Guisheng, and Jinjie belonged to Lu Jinfeng; it was also the company where Jiang Mumu worked.

When it came to work matters, Zhao Qingxun's tone gradually became serious: "Actually, I am also hesitating; which one do you think is better?"

"I think Jinjie is quite good."

Yang Tianxing spoke eloquently: "First, President Lu has great personal charisma; second, Jinjie does things with a clear process and strong standardization; third, the Jinjie company is very good at handling social relations, and I think it would be more comfortable to work with them."

"Comfortable?"

Zhao Qingxun frowned: "Tonight is the birthday party for that Jinjie presenter, right? Where are you right now?"

"I'm at a hotel, this is a landline phone." Yang Tianxing told the truth.

"Oh, then I won't disturb you."

Zhao Qingxun prepared to hang up, but added a reminder: "Be careful and stay safe; don't let desire cloud your original intentions."

Listening to the "beep-beep" of the dial tone, Yang Tianxing suddenly smiled; he appeared to support Jinjie, but in reality, he was sabotaging them.

Zhao Qingxun, although lazy in her emotions and personal life, had a very strong desire for control in her career; this could be seen from the dense surveillance in her office, as almost nothing, big or small, in the factory could be hidden from her.

Regarding the electronic screen bidding for the MP3 project, she was also considering between the two companies, Lianfa and Jinjie.

Lianfa had stronger overall integrity, while Jinjie's management had the characteristics of a modern enterprise, but regardless of which one was adopted, the final decision should have been Zhao Qingxun's.

Yang Tianxing calling her so late and making such a firm suggestion to cooperate with Jinjie was actually a taboo; not only would Zhao Qingxun not adopt it, but she would also feel a deep sense of crisis.

"Is Jinjie reaching too far?"

Zhao Qingxun walked to the desk, picked up the souvenir gifted by Lianfa, and stared at it in a daze.

Yang Tianxing was at a hotel; could this mean that Jinjie was using unethical methods to "corrupt" the management consultant of Runxing?

Zhao Qingxun pondered silently: "Although Lianfa is small in scale, it will be easy to control; Lu Jinfeng is an aggressive leader, and he might have thoughts of usurping the host's role in the future."

After Yang Tianxing finished the call, he estimated that, barring any accidents, Jinjie was likely out of the running.

No matter how smart Zhao Qingxun was, she would never guess that Yang Tianxing was using her career-focused personality traits to set a reverse trap.

"All is fair in war; tomorrow I'll add two more logs to the fire."

Yang Tianxing kicked Shao Ziyang twice: "Get up and take a shower, you smell like spicy crayfish, it's disgusting."

The next morning, when the two got up to check out, Yang Tianxing noticed a box of Durex on the bedside table; it was standard equipment for the hotel, along with disposable razors and so on.

He suddenly felt a surge of mischief and deliberately tore open two Durex packets and threw them into the toilet to flush them away.

Shao Ziyang was confused: "Why are you playing with that?"

"Nothing."

Yang Tianxing said with a grin: "I'm just teasing that chubby girl downstairs."

Arriving at the front desk, the chubby girl still remembered Yang Tianxing: "Hello sir, please wait a moment for the auntie to check the room, then I will return your deposit."

Yang Tianxing nodded: "No problem, take your time."

After a while, Yang Tianxing clearly heard through the walkie-talkie placed on the table: "Two Durex used, two Durex used, everything else is normal."

"Ah?"

The little receptionist stared at Yang Tianxing in disbelief, as if looking at a monster; after a long while, she carefully returned the deposit: "Your deposit is 100 yuan, you used, you used... there is 90 left."

The little receptionist was too embarrassed to even say it out loud.

Yang Tianxing was also quite wicked; when he took the money, he deliberately brushed his hand against the chubby girl's hand at the front desk, scaring her into letting out a cry and retreating several steps, and only then did Yang Tianxing leave, feeling satisfied.

Standing outside the hotel, Shao Ziyang had no idea what was going on, he just felt his stomach was empty: "Little Yang, where are we going for breakfast?"

Yang Tianxing said as a matter of course: "Jiaotong University is right next door, of course we'll go find Little Zhizhi."

"Oh."

Shao Ziyang followed silently behind, muttering: "In a couple of days, I want to go home and visit."

"Go ahead, it's good to visit." Yang Tianxing didn't mind.

It is very common to miss home and parents after being emotionally wounded; people only remember the relatives who will never abandon them when they are abandoned by society.

"Are you going back to Gangcheng recently? Give me a ride if you're going that way." That was what Shao Ziyang had in mind.

Yang Tianxing refused: "I'm working around the clock, where would I find the time to go home?"

The two talked as they walked to the Jiaotong University cafeteria, where Tan Zhizhi and Tian Jiayi had already helped get breakfast ready, and they were chatting about recent exams.

The Law Department requires quite a few certificates, and Xiao Zhiliao was complaining to Tian Jiayi: "I have to go back to Gangcheng in a few days; some exam certifications must be handled in person."

"Then just go, everyone has to go back anyway."

Tian Jiayi drank some porridge and said: "Unless you let your dad come pick you up."

Xiao Zhiliao shook her head: "My dad has been busy lately too."

"I'm not busy lately."

Yang Tianxing suddenly said: "My studies and startup are both quite relaxed recently, and I was also planning to go back to Gangcheng to take a look."

Tian Jiayi smiled at Tan Zhizhi and said: "Then you're comfortable, having someone to take you back and forth."

Shao Ziyang turned his head to glance at Yang Tianxing, his expression conflicted.

Yang Tianxing thought to himself, you stinky little brother, you still have an opinion?

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing."

Shao Ziyang shook his head and said: "I just think why don't scumbags and sluts date each other, that way the world would have one less pair of disasters."
