Song Hanzhang's body shivered: "Don't move, be good."
Song Hanzhang wasn't in a great mood today. Even though she had been thinking about having a proper fling with Li Chuan, today was just not the day.
But Li Chuan, having just been through a significant battle, had Lingxi True Qi flowing actively in him, making him restless and his muscles hard and hot: "Sis, why don't you help me with..."
Just as he finished speaking!
"Ding-dong!"
At this critical moment, the doorbell rang.
"Okay, stop it. I'll deal with you later." Song Hanzhang patted Li Chuan's head and pushed him away.
Li Chuan felt helpless. Realizing he needed to calm down, he turned and headed to the kitchen to retrieve a glass of ice water from the fridge.
When the door opened, in walked Zhao Qingyao.
"Qingyao, I just invited you for dinner, didn't you say you were busy? What happened..." Song Hanzhang smiled and asked.
"Don't mention it, I was busy, but now I'm not. So I thought I'd come and grab dinner at your place. By the way, I heard Brother Yong's promising situation seems to have changed. Where is he?" Zhao Qingyao asked.
"He's probably at the school researching something. He's so stubborn, just leave him be." Song Hanzhang sighed, "Incurable."
Song Hanzhang led Zhao Qingyao to the dining room, and Li Chuan joined them.
After sipping a glass of ice water, Li Chuan calmed down a bit.
Zhao Qingyao sat beside Li Chuan, and with a turn of her body, she blocked Song Hanzhang's view with a cup, then reached out and grabbed Li Chuan's little tent nonchalantly: "Hanzhang, I think it's good this way. Actually, letting men reach too high or succeed in their careers isn't great either!"
Song Hanzhang rolled her eyes: "That's easy for you to say. If our Brother Yong could become a vice dean, I'd reach the same enlightenment."
"You don't get it. Whether men have money or power, they all become bad. Our vice dean has shady relationships with a young girl… By the way, I've already told Chuan about it, didn't he tell you?" Zhao Qingyao asked.
"No, never heard it from him," Song Hanzhang was surprised.
Upon realizing Li Chuan hadn't mentioned this, Zhao Qingyao was quite pleased, and couldn't resist leaning over to give Li Chuan a kiss.
"Hey, can't you be a little more discreet?" Song Hanzhang noted Zhao Qingyao was being completely open, rolled her eyes.
Zhao Qingyao appeared quite satisfied: "Our vice dean has this unclear thing with a young girl. I took some photos, but this little girl is quite cunning, I've never caught them in the act."
"But whatever, you know which cat doesn't steal fish?"
While they were chatting, Li Chuan kept his head down, eating, not bothering to chime in. After all, Zhao Qingyao was fondling him under the table, which was quite thrilling, activating the Lingxi True Qi inside him.
"Is it true? Ding Yang is highly regarded in the academy. His academics and character are excellent. Despite the many young female teachers and students, there's never been a scandal. Why is this happening now? You never caught him red-handed, so could you be mistaken?"
"Doesn't matter, with his three-inch thing, even if he cheated, he'd be rejected."
"Pfft!" Song Hanzhang spat her drink out.
"Chuan, you know it," Zhao Qingyao applied more pressure with her hand, "Help me prove it!"
Li Chuan hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! That's right!"
Zhao Qingyao continued, "Honestly, do you think I want this? That useless thing hasn't touched me in years. You think I'm promiscuous? I'm beautiful, young handsome guys chasing me could circle White Tiger Mountain thrice, but none catch my eye. I'm just totally disheartened now, that's why your Chuan won over this beauty!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chuan was a bit shocked. No wonder Zhao Qingyao seemed so inexperienced; turns out she hadn't had marital relations for years. Clearly, Ding Yang has a problem.
"Hey hey hey! Our Chuan is a legit 'Child Skill' holder, it's definitely you taking advantage?"
"Hanzhang, I've thought it through. Life is for enjoyment, no point in always aggrieving yourself. By the way, about your Brother Yong's situation, I think he doesn't care much. Depending on men is less reliable than on oneself. Hanzhang, haven't you considered paving a path for your own future?"
"Me?"
"At Jiangzhou College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a vice dean is retiring soon. I think you might be a good fit!"
"What a joke, I'm just an ordinary teacher, how could I be the vice dean?"
Song Hanzhang, who was also a teacher at Jiangzhou College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, usually had a rather laid-back job.
"The retiring vice dean is also female. There are too many male leaders in the school now, and too few females. Compared to Brother Yong transitioning, I feel like you have more hope to become vice dean. But of course, some connections need to be made, I can help you with that."
"Connections? I couldn't even make them for Brother Yong's situation," Song Hanzhang sighed.
"You're not approaching the right people; you need to contact people in the palace." Zhao Qingyao lowered her voice.
"What? Our family can't even sort things out with a local deity, how would we have connections in the Celestial Palace?"
"Don't worry, I have connections, even if you don't!" Zhao Qingyao withdrew her hand from Li Chuan's pants and said: "You can leave this matter to me, but I'll need something from you in return."
"Hmm?"
Zhao Qingyao laughed: "This weekend, you let Chuan come with me, and I'll help you take that vice dean position. Then, you'll be on par with Old Ding in standing!"
"So you're targeting our Chuan, huh? Never mind the weekend, you can stay at our place tonight."
"What! You don't understand, I mean Chuan knows massage, right? I happen to know a sister who's not been feeling well. Have Chuan help treat her, and your matter will naturally take care of itself," Zhao Qingyao responded.
"Powerful connections?" Song Hanzhang was surprised.
"I'll keep it a secret for now, but she hasn't married. With your Chuan involved, it's a sure win," Zhao Qingyao said mysteriously, "You'll hear from me by Monday."
Listening to Zhao Qingyao, Song Hanzhang was clearly tempted.
In essence, Li Yong is such a bookworm, clueless about how things work in the real world.
However, she also understood that Zhao Qingyao's plan for Li Chuan to treat an illness was probably not that simple, it might require them to take it to bed!
Perhaps she felt a twinge of jealousy, so Song Hanzhang remained silent.
She didn't mind sharing Li Chuan with her close friend, but sending him to some unknown woman didn't sit well with her.
Finally, Song Hanzhang looked at Li Chuan.
Zhao Qingyao also asked, "Chuan, you heard it, what do you think?"
