Chapter 533
[523] I Discovered Xu Jinhuan's Secret
"It really is! No wonder everyone says this skin is so good, the feel is just different!"
Zhu Xiaoyi likes a certain skin for only one reason: it looks good!
If we add one more thing, it would be the evaluation or reaction of other people. In short: showing off!
However, she would never say that, especially after getting all the skins. Of course, she couldn't be so vulgar. So she began to carefully feel the texture of these skins. Whether it was psychological or not, she really felt the difference, so she couldn't help but sigh.
"When you're not playing anymore, lend me your account to play for a bit."
My best friend was very envious. "I'm going to take a screenshot and show it off, I'll just blur out the name...hehehe!"
Perhaps it was the boost from the new skin, but the five-person team, which usually lost more than they won, actually achieved a three-game winning streak today, making Zhu Xiaoyi even happier.
After the game ended, her best friend didn't hang up the voice chat and asked curiously, "When did you meet such a pro player?"
Zhu Xiaoyi said, "You know him too? He's the one we went to Huangshan together several years ago, remember?"
"I remember going to Huangshan, but I didn't know anyone there?"
"At the narrow passage, I was taking photos of a couple, but the Bluetooth connection didn't work, so I added the guy on WeChat and sent him the photos."
Zhu Xiaoyi explained, "It's the skin he gave me."
"what?"
My best friend exclaimed enviously, "I wish I had added him on WeChat too! Why don't you ask him if I can get one?"
"Then what kind of person do I become?"
Zhu Xiaoyi refused without hesitation, "Everyone knows that accounts with all skins are so valuable, we can't go too far. At worst, I'll lend you my account to play often. Or, what skin do you like? I'll give you one, okay?"
"alright."
My best friend knew it wasn't appropriate to ask her for something first, so she didn't say anything more. "I remember that girl was so pretty, with a great figure, huge breasts, and a tiny waist..."
"Yeah... Oh, I think I still have photos, they should be in the cloud drive."
Zhu Xiaoyi had already changed to a new phone, but her old Samsung phone held many memories from her university days, and the photos were all backed up in the cloud. Suddenly remembering it, she opened the cloud drive and searched for it. "Let me see, it should be here... There's also a photo of you and Zhao Peng here."
Why bring him up?
Her best friend snorted in dissatisfaction. That was her ex-boyfriend; they had broken up a long time ago. However, those words stirred up some memories for her, and she sighed, "Time flies so fast..."
"what!"
As her best friend was reminiscing, she suddenly heard Zhu Xiaoyi scream and said irritably, "What? Did you get your tail stepped on?"
"..."
Zhu Xiaoyi ignored her, staring wide-eyed at the photo on her phone screen, her face full of disbelief: the girl in the photo was indeed very beautiful and sexy, just as she remembered, but what was more eye-catching at this moment was the boy who hadn't left much of an impression on her at the time!
As one of Chen Xingruo's biggest fans, she recognized the man standing behind her "baby": Xu Jinhuan!
That supposedly genius boy from Peking University who made millions making games in high school—not only was he the creator of "Honor of Kings," the game they all loved to play, but even the star she idolized was made famous by Xu Jinhuan. Almost all of Chen Xingruo's hit songs, such as "A Little Happiness," "Birds and Cicadas," and "As You Wish," were written by Xu Jinhuan.
And he's also Chen Xingruo's brother-in-law...wait!
Zhu Xiaoyi realized something was wrong. Calculating the timeline, Xu Jinhuan should have been in high school when they went to Huangshan, and he should have been dating Chen Xingzhu then…
Who is this sexy woman who climbed Huangshan with him?
Most importantly, Xu Jinhuan just said "girlfriend" in WeChat. It's not a misunderstanding; he admitted that the girl in the photo is his girlfriend.
Could it be that Xu Jinhuan is actually a two-timing scumbag?
Zhu Xiaoyi suddenly felt terrible, because as the leader of Chen Xingruo's fans, she, like many other "star fans," also shipped Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu as a couple, since their love story was reflected in their songs.
In a sense, Xu Jinhuan was the perfect partner in their eyes. And then, she appeared before her in a way she never imagined, causing a massive shock that ultimately crumbled…
Afraid she might have made a mistake, Zhu Xiaoyi went back to WeChat to check and confirm that Xu Jinhuan's message was "Take a picture of me and my girlfriend," before staring blankly at the screen.
She was a little confused.
"Zhu Xiaoyi!"
Zhu Xiaoyi was startled awake by her best friend's angry shout. Still bewildered, she asked, "Huh? What happened?"
What's your name?
"I……"
Zhu Xiaoyi paused, organized her thoughts, and asked in a dreamlike tone, "Do you remember what you said when I mentioned a full-skin account?"
"What?"
"Unless he is Xu Jinhuan..."
Zhu Xiaoyi herself still found it hard to believe, "He, he really seems to be..."
"Who is it really?"
Her best friend wondered if she'd lost her mind, "Is it Xu Jinhuan?"
"Ok!"
"If you want a man, go find one on the street!"
My best friend said earnestly, "You won't find a man if you just dream about it at home. Why don't we get ready and go enjoy some nightlife?"
Zhu Xiaoyi didn't waste any words, downloaded the photos and sent them over. This time, her best friend was dumbfounded: "No way? We actually met Xu Jinhuan? You're friends with him? And it's been so many years!"
Before Zhu Xiaoyi could speak, her best friend, after a flurry of exclamations, realized, "Wait a minute, isn't Xu Jinhuan your Xingbao's brother-in-law? Then the girl we met in Huangshan wasn't his girlfriend?"
"..."
Zhu Xiaoyi paused for a moment, her mind racing. Ultimately, considering Xu Jinhuan's current influence and the fact that he had just gifted her a full-skin account, she chose to tell a white lie: "At the time, they didn't seem to say they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Maybe we misunderstood."
That makes sense.
Her best friend didn't quite remember what had happened back then either. After hearing this, she thought for a moment, then, without dwelling on it, excitedly said, "Didn't you say you didn't want this job and wanted to work at your family's Xingbao Company? Then you can just ask Xu Jinhuan about it!"
"...Forget it!"
Zhu Xiaoyi was immediately tempted, but after thinking about it, she shook her head. "I've already submitted my resume to their company. Maybe I'll get accepted."
"Hopefully."
Her best friend expressed her excitement about meeting Xu Jinhuan again, then hung up the phone to brag about it in other groups, but Zhu Xiaoyi wasn't so happy.
She is a fan of Chen Xingruo, and a fan leader at that. Coming from a well-off family with no real-world pressures, her biggest dream is to work at her idol's company so that she can have frequent contact with her idol. She just submitted her resume a few days ago.
However, she is now starting to have some reservations. She doesn't know whether she should go or not, because if she does go, should she tell Chen Xingruo that Xu Jinhuan is a scumbag?
Chen Xingruo is not only Xu Jinhuan's sister-in-law, but also his idol!
"Fortunately, it's normal to be rejected when you submit your resume, and I didn't have a chance to tell Chen Xingruo."
Two more days passed with no news. Zhu Xiaoyi accepted her rejection with disappointment. However, that very evening, while watching Chen Xingruo's edited videos, she received a call from an unknown number informing her that she had passed the initial screening at "Shuangxing Entertainment" and would proceed to the next stage of the interview.
