138: Funny girls are more joyful
Aria quickly ran back with her Mac and printer, tossing the Mac to her: "You start writing, I'll set up the printer."
Xu Zhiyou didn't dawdle and started typing on her keyboard; after a day of work, she had only completed one-third.
"Why did you stop? Hurry up!"
Aria was engrossed; the feasibility was quite high. She was looking forward to the rest of the content, and Xu Zhiyou's sudden stop almost suffocated her.
"I need a break, I'm dying. Let's talk tomorrow."
"Break? What break? Do you know? Your only flaw is that you're too lazy. You need to change that…"
"Stop, stop, stop! Is a little old man possessing you? My little sister is here to see me. Do you think it's appropriate to make me work overtime?"
"It's fine, you do your thing. These single-player games are fun. Burn me a CD later."
Kim Ji-soo was sitting at Xu Zhiyou's computer desk playing games, looking very excited.
Park Chaeyoung and Kim Jennie were flipping through Xu Zhiyou's sheet music, also very engrossed. Only Lisa was truly bored.
"Show Ge, you old man, all you care about is games! And Dumpling Ni, is it appropriate for you two to peek at my things?"
Kim Jennie didn't even lift her head, continuing to study her lyrics and music. What was that saying? Creation starts with imitation. Such a good opportunity, she had to take a few more looks.
"You still owe me a song. What's wrong with looking? I didn't ask for yours. But aren't you too slow? You've only written thirteen songs in such a long time. You need to work harder!"
"Then how many have you written? Let me admire them."
"Uh? Soon! Why are you rushing?"
"Alright! 'As If It's Your Last' is this comeback's title track. All of you take a look. Remember to take it with you when you leave."
"Hmm?" Kim Jennie heard this and found the song, starting to read it. Kim Ji-soo and Lisa also gathered around to look.
While they were looking at the song, Aria finally had a chance to speak, "See? Your little sisters said it's fine. Come on, keep going."
"No! I want to rest."
"Think about it. I'm setting up a company and offering you the CTO position. That way, the professor won't hold you back. Are you really going to put in the effort?"
"How confident are you?"
"The school emphasizes combining theory and practice. If it's reasonable and compliant, the professor has no reason to hold you back. But you need to help me build the framework."
"I can't build the framework, but I can write you a detailed plan, and you can find someone to implement it."
She'd be crazy to become a programmer; Pretty You would instantly become Bald You, she couldn't handle that.
"No problem."
Aria never thought she would agree. She knew Xu Zhiyou's bad habits very well. All she wanted was a detailed plan.
With a plan, finding people to work was easy. She didn't need her to do the work.
And so, everyone was busy with their own things. Kim Ji-soo told her manager about the comeback song, and then stayed there to familiarize herself with the song.
They stayed for a week. On the day Xu Zhiyou was driving them to the airport, Park Chaeyoung still couldn't help but ask.
"Zoe! Will you ever come back to the Peninsula?" Kim Ji-soo and the other two also looked at Xu Zhiyou; they shared the same worry.
"Chaeyoung! Why would you ask that?"
"It's just that you're so smart, and doing business earns so much more than being a singer, and you love money so much…"
"Hey! Are you complimenting me or insulting me? First, I love music just as much as you do. Second, oh my god, I almost crashed!"
"Let's talk later, don't send us all off at once. I haven't lived enough yet."
Kim Jennie was also startled by her sudden braking.
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's talk when we get there. Take it easy."
Kim Ji-soo was busy thinking just now and didn't expect Xu Zhiyou's unreliable personality.
No one dared to speak to her on the way.
After arriving at the parking lot, Kim Ji-soo reminded her: "And second? You can say it now."
"It's just that I'm impulsive and love to fight, so I need to build up some capital to be willful. I don't want to get into a fight and then go home crying to my mother."
Her last point was that she wanted to help Xu Wen, and an effective and simple way was to provide her with funding. Money makes things easier in any industry.
"Uh? Is that all?" Kim Ji-soo hadn't expected it to be this.
"What else? Relying on heaven and earth is not as good as relying on yourself. As long as I am capital, who dares to give me attitude?"
"Wow! Still so domineering, I support you!" Lisa said, looking at her with starry eyes.
She became her little fan girl because of Xu Zhiyou's domineering demeanor. She loved that personality.
Kim Jennie thought about it and agreed, "That makes sense! Then this comeback, I'll specially allow you not to participate, but next time you must come, otherwise I'll bite you to death."
"Me too, but remember to come back early after you're done."
"In a minimum of one month, maximum two months, I'll come find you. Remember not to tell anyone, not even Leah Unnie."
"Don't worry, I…"
"Chaeyoung, stop. You and Lisa are the biggest blabbermouths. Show Ge, keep an eye on them. I want to be invisible capital."
"Hey! Don't be too much, how am I…"
Kim Ji-soo interrupted Park Chaeyoung's speech, "Don't worry! Now you go back, don't send us off. I'll explain the comeback situation to the fans for you."
"Then I'm leaving. I still have to go to the lab to be a corporate slave. The old man will throw a fit if he doesn't see me."
After she left, Park Chaeyoung said indignantly, "What does she mean by that! How am I a blabbermouth? Have I ever blabbed?"
Lisa looked at Park Chaeyoung seriously and said, "Hmm! Does side leakage count?"
"Pfft~" Park Chaeyoung's heart felt like it was bleeding.
"Hahahaha~~"
After dropping them off and returning to the lab, she was scolded again. The professor's scolding was fierce, but Xu Zhiyou wasn't afraid of him at all.
"Professor! Thirsty? Have some water first. You're getting old, don't let yourself get parched."
"Sigh! You're a stubborn one, go and mind your own business."
"Alright!"
When she sat down, many admiring glances came from all directions. She was the only one who dared to be so cheeky with the professor.
"Zoe! The professor tells you to get out, you go shopping; he tells you to write a self-reflection, you write it like a thesis, not forgetting to offer suggestions to the professor in between. It has to be you, amazing!"
"Tch! The old man is just a bit long-winded. Has he ever really made things difficult for you? Why are you afraid of him?"
"That's why the professor likes you the most, we're not the same."
"This young lady is naturally beautiful, loved by everyone, flowers bloom for her, cars get flat tires for her, and most importantly, I'm talented…"
"Oh! Then let's add some tasks for you. You can train the big data model as well. The more capable, the more work, right?"
"Uh? Professor! I'm just a little nobody, I was just bragging. You know me, I'm useless…"
"Stop, take it. Give me the results in a month, otherwise I'll deduct your assessment points."
"Pffthahahaha~"
The surrounding students were amused. STEM fields are inherently dry, but with a funny girl around, there's indeed a lot more joy.
