He Jingwen was completely stunned when he saw Yun Zijin get out of a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
’Didn’t they say Junior Sister Yun grew up in an orphanage? How can she afford a Rolls-Royce when she’s only just started her internship?’
’Even if this model isn’t one of the more expensive ones for Rolls-Royce, it still has to cost several million, right?’
’What kind of job lets you earn several million right after starting an internship?’
"Yun... Junior Sister Yun, your car..."
He Jingwen pointed at Yun Zijin’s car, his gaze shifting to Ling Qi, who had followed her out.
’And a bodyguard, too? Does Junior Sister Yun go out with such a grand entourage now?’
’He felt as if the Yun Zijin before him and the one from his memories were two completely different people.’
"Oh, I just bought it. This is the sample I brought. Sorry to trouble you, senior.
Just tell me how much it costs, and I’ll transfer you the money."
Yun Zijin didn’t want to talk too much about herself, so she just gave a vague answer.
Hearing from her tone that she didn’t want to elaborate, He Jingwen didn’t press the matter.
He took the Rose Essential Oil sample from Yun Zijin. "Don’t worry about the money. It’s just a test; it won’t take much time.
I’ll run the test for you when I have a moment, and I’ll let you know the second the results are in."
He Jingwen genuinely didn’t think it was a big deal. They were friends, and accepting money for a simple test would feel too distant.
"You should still take the money. After all, it’s not your personal lab. It’s only right to pay for using its resources. Just charge me the standard rate. That way, if your advisor asks, you’ll have an explanation."
Yun Zijin didn’t want He Jingwen to get reprimanded by his advisor because of her.
But He Jingwen refused to take the money no matter what. He said others in the lab often helped friends and classmates with tests, and no one ever charged for it. Their advisor always turned a blind eye.
Unable to convince him, Yun Zijin had to give up.
Still, the thought of getting a favor for free didn’t sit right with Yun Zijin.
"I know. To thank you for your help, senior, how about I treat you to a meal?
You can pick the time and place; I’m free whenever."
’He won’t take money, but treating him to a meal should be fine, right?’
Hearing that Yun Zijin wanted to have a meal with him, He Jingwen’s eyes lit up. "In that case, it would be rude to refuse. I happen to be finishing early today. Junior Sister Yun, just wait a moment. I’ll go put this away and be right out."
The Rose Essential Oil was a sample, so He Jingwen felt it would be safer to leave it in the lab.
Besides, it was unlikely anyone would mess with it.
He Jingwen was quick. He put the sample away and came back out moments later.
"The usual place?"
The "usual place" was a restaurant they often went to for their student club gatherings.
It was a private kitchen-style restaurant near campus. At 200 yuan per person, it was considered quite affordable for university students.
It was a top choice for gatherings for many of the school’s clubs and dormitories.
Yun Zijin wanted to say he could pick somewhere more expensive, but considering He Jingwen didn’t know her current financial situation, she kept it to herself.
"Sounds good. But we agreed it’s my treat, so you can’t find an excuse to pay the bill early, senior."
As club president, He Jingwen had often done that during their past gatherings.
While it was nice to be treated, Yun Zijin felt it wasn’t right when it happened too often.
They were all students; there was no reason to keep taking advantage of one person.
"Alright. I’ll listen to you."
He Jingwen was so happy just to be having a meal alone with Yun Zijin that he was on cloud nine; of course, he would agree to whatever she said.
"Get in."
Ling Qi had already opened the rear door. Yun Zijin got in first, and He Jingwen followed right behind her without any hesitation.
The private restaurant wasn’t far from Dijing University, so they arrived after a short drive.
Seeing Yun Zijin and He Jingwen, the owner quickly came over to greet them.
