Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 586 - 219: No More Delays—Coming Clean with Nanaz

Time flies.

The more unwilling you are to let go, the faster it slips through your fingers like fine sand.

The final exam for the last major course is over, and the first semester of junior year is about to come to an end.

Before the holiday, as per usual, there’s a class meeting to summarize the semester, announce the return date, and remind everyone about holiday safety matters.

After the exams, everyone let loose, and the classroom was bustling.

Before the class advisor, Yao Hui, arrived, small groups were chatting away.

Liuu Wanyin and a few roommates from dorm 305 were casually chatting, words like pearls and smiling faces all around.

It was hard to associate her with the girl from freshman year who always sat in the corner, like a frightened rabbit hoping to hide herself away.

Because she was no longer the shy, introverted girl with social anxiety, but a capable and confident store manager who embraces socializing as a natural part of life, even better at it than most in the class.

"Wanyin, you’ve really changed, you used to stutter when talking to us!"

"Yeah, I feel like the current you is like a confident career woman!"

"Of course, Wanyin has always worked hard, you know!"

"..."

The girls from 305 were amazed by their roommate’s transformation, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

But they were all happy for her.

Back in freshman year, everyone was worried.

Because back then, Liuu Wanyin worked late washing dishes in the snack street, coming back at midnight every day, and everyone worried she wouldn’t be able to endure it.

"It’s not that bad, as long as you work a lot in the digital store, if it were you guys, you’d do better than me."

Xiaoliu smiled and said.

"Come on, Wanyin, stop being modest, not everyone can become a manager, it’s a testament to capability!"

"You have to endure hardships, I’d like to do some part-time work too, to get ahead in social practice, and prepare for graduation, but I just can’t make up my mind."

"Me too, even though the class president has a great family background, he still did part-time work in freshman year, and that’s how he climbed to a management position in New Era. So, it’s clear we lack the spirit of enduring hardships!"

"Wanyin, I think you should stick with the class president in the future, there’s no need to find a company after graduation, New Era isn’t a small company anymore, I always see its ads on TV and newspapers."

"..."

While the girls from 305 chatted, Su Zelin arrived.

"Hey beauties, what are you up to?"

The woman’s federation director casually asked.

"Talking about you, and here you are, boss, if we can’t find a job after graduation, we’re counting on you!"

"Of course, who else am I gonna support if not my own?"

"Come on, Wanyin is the only one here who’s your own, we’re outsiders!"

"Everyone’s my own, the more the merrier!"

"..."

The girls giggled and even teased Su Zelin and Liuu Wanyin a bit.

The mischievous guy didn’t mind, but Xiaoliu was a bit embarrassed.

After joking around for a while, the mischievous guy pulled a letter-like item from his pocket and handed it to Liuu Wanyin, "Xiaoliu, this is yours!"

"What’s this?"

"See for yourself!"

Liuu Wanyin opened the letter, the other girls couldn’t help but gather around to look.

Since Su Zelin handed it to Liuu Wanyin in public, it clearly wasn’t something secret.

But everyone found that it was an invitation letter.

The gist was that the company was holding a year-end party and hoped Liuu Wanyin, as the manager of the finance store, would attend.

This year-end party invited important staff from all chain and franchise stores, and Liuu Wanyin, being the finance store manager, was naturally on the list.

"Wow, a company year-end party, I heard only big corporations do stuff like this!"

"I knew it, New Era is indeed a big company now."

"I’m really jealous of you guys, having jobs lined up before even graduating!"

"..."

All the girls felt a bit bitter.

"Xiaoliu, the night after tomorrow, at the ninth floor of Dingsheng Grand Hotel at Dingsheng Mansion headquarters, the entire floor is our venue. Just show the invitation to enter, and make sure not to lose it, or you’ll have to be led in by someone!"

Su Zelin reminded.

But his words were a bit superfluous.

Liuu Wanyin being such a meticulous person would never be careless.

"By the way..." remembering something, he added, "I’ll probably have to drink a bit then, so I’ll ride with you!"

"Okay!" Liuu Wanyin nodded, "Boss, but I’m not a very skilled driver, bear with it."

"Haha, you’re actually okay at driving, just not very experienced yet."

Su Zelin had taken Xiaoliu for driving practice a few times, though quite seriously, not like every time with Nanaz where they run to the backseat to test the shock absorption.

Liuu Wanyin is the kind of careful, timid driver, not as good as those bold and careful, but steadier than those bold and careless or timid and careless drivers.

In any case, driving "carefully" is most important, and "careful" with a bit of "boldness" is even better.

Having given the invitation to Liuu Wanyin, Su Zelin stopped lingering and returned to his seat, where the Five Mischief Makers were lamenting time’s swift passage.

"Can’t believe, in the blink of an eye, we’re all old juniors now, only three semesters away from graduation!"

Feng Zhongliang spoke with a nostalgic tone.

"Yeah, I really wish time could slow down a bit, I’m not ready to quickly step into the nine-to-five work life yet!"

Zeng Kaiping sighed deeply.

He cherishes this friendship dearly.

He might meet new friends after starting work, but the spirited lad believes none would match the bond with these college mates.
