Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 741 - 740: Becoming a Monk Midway

During these days waiting for news from Factory Director Lu, Zhen Yu attended classes normally in the daytime and spent her evenings either with Han Mingyue or her roommates, hanging out in the library’s special reading and periodical rooms reading various books.

Although most of the books were unrelated to her courses, they greatly enriched her inner world and broadened her knowledge and horizons.

It wasn’t until Friday evening, while having dinner with her roommates in the cafeteria, that Zhen Yu finally received a call from Factory Director Lu.

"Hello! Zhen Yu!"

"Factory Director Lu."

"Cough!" After coughing, Factory Director Lu took a deep breath before continuing, "Here’s the situation! Because we need to do a stock swap, we’ve already evaluated the value of the shares in the dairy company! To be honest, the amount is quite high! You know, the company has been in the development stage for the past few years and has never paid dividends. Everyone doesn’t have that much money on hand all at once..."

Zhen Yu frowned slightly, "So what you mean is there isn’t enough money? ... Fine then! Just buy less! 10%?"

"No no no! No! That’s not what I meant!" Factory Director Lu immediately took over the conversation, fearing that Zhen Yu was really not planning to sell that much stock! "What we mean is that we want to bring in more shareholders! Also, we hope you can sign to agree to take a loan from the bank in the factory’s name!"

"Bringing in more shareholders is fine, and taking out loans is also okay, but the responsibilities must be clear!"

"Don’t worry! We definitely won’t let you suffer a loss! Besides, isn’t Lawyer Li always here helping to keep an eye on things for you! I will first give him the materials. When he feels there are no issues, he will send them to you, how about that?"

"That works! Then once I have explained things in detail to Lawyer Li, you all can communicate directly with him!"

"Okay okay okay okay..."

——

No sooner had the call ended than Zhen Yu noticed the three girls who were eating with her had all stopped their chopsticks and were staring at her!

"Why are you looking at me?"

As Zhen Yu felt slightly confused by their stares, You Qing finally was the first to speak!

With a glimmer of gossip in her eyes, she exclaimed, "I didn’t see that coming! Zhen Yu, you’re actually a hidden rich second generation!"

"Exactly! I was totally shocked! Only remembered two words! Shareholder! Loan! What kind of company does your family run?"

Shi Mei also asked with a curious face, yet there wasn’t a trace of utilitarianism in her eyes.

Only Sun Shuhan still maintained her composure! But though she remained silent, her body clearly leaned towards Zhen Yu, evidently also curious about the matter.

Zhen Yu smiled faintly and shook her head, "You guys have been reading too many romance novels! Where are there so many rich second generations?"

"Not at all!" Shi Mei was the first to retort, firmly refusing to admit it!

"So you really aren’t a rich second generation? Then what were you talking about with Factory Director Lu about not having enough money? And something about 10%?"

You Qing expressed skepticism about Zhen Yu’s words and directly pinpointed two relevant bits of information!

Yet Zhen Yu did not answer You Qing’s question directly, instead, she teased first.

"I called him out of habit, actually now I should refer to him as General Manager Lu! Just like the overbearing president in romance novels!"

"Wow!" Shi Mei played along making a grimace and exclaimed.

But You Qing chuckled and pushed Zhen Yu, "Come on! This overbearing president must be close to seventy or eighty years old then? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have that tone! Out with it!"

——

Not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed after being exposed, Zhen Yu stated, "Not that old! He’s about the same age as Professor Zhang..."

"That’s old enough? Professor Zhang is even two years older than my dad! Who wants an overbearing president like that!" Shi Mei was the first to retort.

"And you say you haven’t been reading too many romance novels..."

Just as Zhen Yu softly murmured, You Qing urged her again: "Hurry up, hurry up! What’s your background really?!"

"Umm... if I really have to say, then I suppose I am... a late bloomer!" Zhen Yu gave herself a definition.

"What the heck?" Sun Shuhan was the first to react and questioned, "Is that idiom really used that way?"

Shi Mei and You Qing exchanged glances, both feeling quite speechless.

Finally, it was impatient Shi Mei who first opened her mouth urging, "Zhen Yu, could you explain in detail?"

Since she hadn’t made the call behind their backs, Zhen Yu didn’t intend to keep it from them. She nodded and said, "It started as just a dairy factory, but then the business did well so we established a company! I own some shares there, and now I’m thinking of selling some."

"Oh... so the factory originally belonged to your family?"

Shi Mei, this naive girl, directly switched to the mode of thinking of a romance novel.

Zhen Yu had to make her understand, "That factory was originally state-owned!"

You Qing: "Then your shares?"

"I bought them, big sister!"

Zhen Yu was really about to be overwhelmed by these naïve and inexperienced young girls!

"Could they possibly have just fallen from the sky?"

——

The dinner lasted a very long time, and it wasn’t just during the meal that they chatted; even on the way back to the dorm, everyone kept talking! One by one, they began to proactively introduce their own family backgrounds.

Zhen Yu always felt that they might have resorted to discussing their private matters out of a sense of compensation or exchanging secrets!

But it didn’t matter! As long as everyone could get along, Zhen Yu was also willing to make a few genuine friends.

Through this conversation, Zhen Yu also finally learned that Sun Shuhan truly came from a scholarly family! Not only are her parents university professors, but her grandparents are also renowned cultural experts.

Meanwhile, although Shi Mei’s family is from a small county town, her parents ventured into business and now are among the top local tycoons. Among them, only You Qing comes from an ordinary salaried family in a big city! But her parents are both locals, and they also got housing from their workplace, so without the burden of housing, they lived quite a comfortable middle-class life.

All the girls had no financial worries, but they were still extremely impressed by Zhen Yu!

So much so that in the evening, they didn’t even want to go to the library or study room; they insisted on keeping Zhen Yu in the dorm to tell them about her entrepreneurial history over the years!

Of course! If possible, letting Zhen Yu also talk about her romantic history with Han Mingyue wouldn’t be a bad idea...

After all, in the entire dormitory of four people, other than Zhen Yu, the other three were all single!

Everyone was already in university, and even though it was now deep autumn, which girl doesn’t harbor romantic dreams?
