The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 397: Chapter 396: Each One’s Choice

Seeing Tao Cuizhu looking upset, Yiyi said reassuringly, "Alright, don’t think too much. Everyone has their own choices. Since An Xueqing decided to take a break from school, she must have her own reasons, so there’s no need for us to intervene."

Hearing this, Tao Cuizhu shook her head and decided not to say more.

"Yiyi, what are you guys talking about?"

Just then, a cheerful voice came from outside the dormitory door. They turned to see Cao Panpan had arrived.

"Panpan, you’re here quite early."

After putting her luggage down, Cao Panpan said happily, "Yes, this time I rushed to finally get to school early. So, what were you talking about? You both looked a bit upset."

"An Xueqing has taken a break from school. We were talking about that."

"Ah... An Xueqing took a break from school? What on earth is she thinking?"

Cao Panpan was also quite surprised.

At this time, others started arriving one after another. Feng Yudan was the last to come, but she wasn’t very surprised about An Xueqing taking a break. "I knew about it during the summer break. She was lucky enough to land a supporting role in a TV drama, so she had this idea back then."

Cao Panpan curiously asked, "Did you meet during the summer?"

"I happened to be in the same crew, so that’s how I found out," Feng Yudan explained, then added, "I also made a decision at that time, to stop acting and focus on my studies."

Everyone was a bit surprised to hear this, and eventually, Tao Cuizhu asked, "Yudan, are you serious?"

"Yes, I’m serious. I’ve figured it out. I worked hard to get into university, and I won’t let it go to waste. Even if I want to act, it has to be after graduation."

Hearing this, Tao Cuizhu felt relieved, "Yudan, I’m glad to hear that. After we register, let’s go out for a meal. We should celebrate your return to campus."

Seeing Tao Cuizhu so happy for her, Feng Yudan felt very touched and finally said, "Alright, let’s have a good meal today. I’ll treat you all to thank you for taking care of me. I took on a few small roles over the summer and earned some money, just right for a good feast."

"Great, since you say so, we won’t hold back," Cao Panpan said with a laugh and suggested eating at a small restaurant near the school gates.

"No need to save money on my account. Let’s go to the new restaurant on Central Street, and have a really good meal today," Feng Yudan said, smiling broadly with her mind already made up.

"Yudan, even if you’re treating us, you don’t have to spend too much. Besides, the small restaurant near the school is pretty nice," Tao Cuizhu also advised.

But Feng Yudan had already decided. After they registered, the group headed to the new restaurant on Central Street.

No one else ordered dishes, so Feng Yudan picked a whole table full based on everyone’s preferences. "Don’t hold back today, I really want to thank you all."

"Alright, alright, we’re all classmates. No need for thanks. Let’s focus on our studies together from now on," Wei Xiweng, who hadn’t spoken much, chimed in.

"Okay."

Seeing everyone getting along well, Yiyi couldn’t help but smile, feeling happy to see everyone so cheerful.

Once the dishes were served, the five of them enjoyed the meal heartily, and Cao Panpan couldn’t stop praising, "The food here is really good, especially that sweet and sour fish. It was delicious."

"Yes, I thought the beef vermicelli was also really tasty," Wei Xiweng, who loved meat, said, having eaten nearly half of the dish herself.

Seeing everyone so pleased, Feng Yudan felt very happy, "We’ll come back if we get the chance."

"I’ll treat everyone next weekend," Tao Cuizhu said at this point.

Upon hearing this, the others quickly waved their hands and said, "No need, leader. We can’t let you spend."

"I also earned some money over the summer, so I’ll treat you all to a meal."

Upon hearing this, Cao Panpan curiously asked, "Oh right, leader, I remember you didn’t go home for the summer. What kind of part-time job did you do in Shangjing?"

Wei Xiweng and Feng Yudan also looked at Tao Cuizhu with curiosity.

Tao Cuizhu had asked Yiyi if she could reveal the truth, and after knowing that Yiyi didn’t mind, she didn’t hide it. "I worked at Yiyi’s pharmaceutical factory, learned a lot, and earned some pocket money too." This work experience was eye-opening for her, even with a kidnapping incident. She felt pleased because she learned so much more valuable information than school lessons.

"What..."

The others were all stunned.

Cao Panpan was especially incredulous, "Yiyi has her own pharmaceutical factory?"

"Yes, Yiyi is really amazing. No wonder she’s such a good student. She already understood pharmacology and could make medicine before, then she started a factory. Her practical experience is incredible."

Talking about Yiyi, Tao Cuizhu was full of admiration and didn’t hold back in her praise.

At this point, the others finally believed Tao Cuizhu, but still found it incredible. Finally, Wei Xiweng said, "Yiyi, you’re too much. We didn’t know you had a pharmaceutical factory."

"You all went home for the summer, and only the dorm leader wanted to stay for a part-time job, so I invited her to work at the factory. She worked very hard and made great progress, so you all need to work hard too."

Hearing Yiyi’s words, the others all clenched their fists, pledging to study hard. Cao Panpan even asked, "Yiyi, do you still need people at your factory? Do you need weekend help? We can assist." Laughing as she said it.

Wei Xiweng nodded in agreement, expressing her desire to gain experience too.

Feng Yudan wanted to go too, but thinking about her grades, she didn’t dare to speak up.

Seeing this, Yiyi smiled, "Of course you can. If you’re free on weekends, you can come work at my place, but I’m looking for long-term workers. You can’t just come one weekend and not the next."

"Don’t worry, Yiyi, we’ll be committed," Cao Panpan said, making Yiyi laugh, "Alright, let’s plan to go together next weekend."

Tao Cuizhu was even happier to have more classmates as colleagues, "Great, it’s settled then. After I treat you all to a meal next weekend, we’ll go to Yiyi’s pharmaceutical factory together."
