Chapter 59 I'm pregnant.

As early as the end of last semester, the drama club had completed the reorganization, but the work was not yet handed over. Li Ke and Zhao Manzhi were often invited to attend the new club meetings.

The younger students always have awe for the predecessors who have made outstanding achievements, not to mention that there is a senior sister who can be called a campus goddess.

The large amount of sponsorship for "And Then There Were None" is the largest since the establishment of the drama club. The new VP of external affairs is extremely curious and wants to learn some negotiation skills from her.

Li Ke smiled and said, "With such an authoritative face, what skills do you need?"

Zhao Manzhi scolded her, "Don't talk nonsense, I did a very serious project introduction PPT, okay!"

And she didn't get the green light all the way just by her face. In addition to Huanye, Zhao Manzhi also went to many sponsors and was rejected by many.

But as Li Ke said, most people think that she wins because of her face, and never care about the efforts behind it.

After the meeting, she and Li Ke found a canteen nearby to eat. The hot spring egg beef ramen tasted mediocre, but she felt sad when she thought that it would be hard to eat it after graduation.

"You started applying to schools, right?" Li Ke asked her.

"I just started applying, and the results are not so early. But you, you haven't made any moves, and you are doing great things quietly?"

Li Ke said solemnly, "To be honest, I plan to work alone and do self-media."

At that time, short videos were just emerging. Li Ke targeted this blue ocean with her keen sense of smell as a media person. She started to try to operate accounts in multiple tracks while in school, and she really explored a field of her own.

She has professional knowledge, has been the head of the drama club, and has excellent artistic aesthetics. She is indeed suitable for this industry.

Everyone is busy trying to get into a big company with a high GPA, but Li Ke has already achieved living expenses independence, and sincerely invites Zhao Manzhi to join her team, "Trust me, a beauty of your level can become famous without doing anything."

Zhao Manzhi poked the hot spring egg, and the golden egg liquid flowed out, "If I want, will it be your turn?" I

don't know how many times she has been approached by scouts on the street.

"That's right." Li Ke sighed, "You and your Mr. Zhuang, whenever you are short of money, you can find me, I will create a couple account for you, and it will definitely be popular on the Internet."

Soon, she realized the absurdity of this assumption, "Forget it, unless he takes the initiative to give up his family property, there will be no such day."

Zhao Manzhi was amused by Li Ke's self-questioning and self-answering. Her thinking is wild and unconstrained, but fortunately her logic is very self-consistent, and she can complete the entire thinking construction by herself, and will not harm others.

A family like theirs has always been a centipede that is dead but not stiff. Even if they give up all their shares and property, the trust funds prepared by the older generation will continue to nurture the younger generation and keep their wealth and glory for a lifetime.

"Speaking of which, have you seen Fang Ling recently?"

Zhao Manzhi paused in her action of holding the noodles.

Li Ke looked around to make sure no one heard, then continued, "She's changed a lot now. She greeted me the other day, but if I hadn't seen that the person next to her was Chen Muchuan, I would have hardly recognized her."

"Oh... I blocked them all." Zhao Manzhi scooped a spoonful of soup and sipped it. "I've been really busy lately and haven't been in school much. It's better not to see her."

Zhuang Youkai is busy with work and flies all over the world. Zhao Manzhi just accompanied him to Japan some time ago. This week he went to New York, and she couldn't postpone her class, so she didn't go with him.

But judging from the time and frequency of his replies, he was also very busy there, and his schedule was so full that he couldn't even squeeze in a moment of leisure.

When he was on a business trip without her, the most common thing he said was "protect yourself." If Zhao Manzhi didn't dislike it, she had no doubt that Zhuang Youkai would arrange a personal bodyguard to watch her 24 hours a day.

But she only went between school and home, so what was there to worry about?

Just as she was thinking, the screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up. Zhao Manzhi unlocked it and saw that it was a message from Fang Ling. She smiled lightly, "Whoever says it will come."

Li Ke raised his eyebrows, "It seems that what I said last time worked. She asked me if I had seen you recently and how I was doing. I was afraid that she wanted to compete with you again, so I told her to go find you herself if she had the guts. She is really shameless."

"Oh? That's not what she is talking about." Zhao Manzhi showed the message interface to the other party, "It makes no sense. She asked me out for coffee."

This invitation sounded very strange coming from Fang Ling's mouth. After all, she used to save money even on food. In her free time, she either stayed in the library or found a part-time job. She rarely had money or time to waste on this.

Therefore, Li Ke couldn't help but feel suspicious. "Come to think of it, she has really changed a lot now. She is wearing designer clothes from head to toe. I don't think Chen Muchuan can afford it. Will it be..." "

Well, it has nothing to do with me now. Let her do whatever she wants."

Anyway, before they completely broke up, she had reminded Fang Ling of everything she should have said. As for whether Fang Ling listened or how much she listened, it was not her responsibility.

Zhao Manzhi was about to kill her phone, but she saw Fang Ling sent another message -

"I'm pregnant."

After seeing the message, both of them fell silent. After a moment, Li Ke asked her, "Yours?"

"..."

*

Zhao Manzhi originally didn't plan to meet her, but Fang Ling called her soon, crying out of breath.

She softened her heart.

Although she was extremely disappointed with Fang Ling, Zhao Manzhi didn't want her to fall into depravity. After all, she had witnessed Fang Ling's suffering before and knew how difficult it was for her to step out of the slums in the mountain city.

After all, she couldn't bear it. She couldn't bear to see her die here and ruin her bright future.

Knowing that she was going, Li Ke postponed his afternoon work and went with her. For no other reason, after meeting Fang Ling that day, she always felt uneasy. After all, Fang Ling seemed different from the shy and cautious girl in her impression.

No matter what happened, the two of them could feel at ease together.

Fang Ling made an appointment at a coffee shop in Causeway Bay. It was in a prosperous area with people coming and going. The CCTV network was also very tight. Even across the street, you could see the police station. It was said that there was no room for small moves.

Besides... Fang Ling was alone in Hong Kong. If Chen Muchuan was not there, she should not be able to threaten Zhao Manzhi.

Thinking of this, they walked into the coffee shop.

Despite Li Ke's guidance, Zhao Manzhi almost didn't recognize Fang Ling at first sight. Her original plain black straight hair was permed and dyed, and the whole person became thinner, and her facial features looked more prominent. The exquisite makeup could not cover up the fatigue, and even her smile looked pale and weak.

But she was decorated with famous brands from head to toe. Zhao Manzhi looked at it and felt that it was indescribable weird.

This kind of attire is not suitable for her. It only makes her look thinner and her skin paler. It is said that nobleness nourishes people, but on Fang Ling, it only shows a funny contrast.

Fang Ling stood up and greeted the two of them. Li Ke's arrival made her feel a little uneasy. She pinched the hem of her clothes with her hands, and she didn't know whether to close it or let it go.

"What would you like to drink?" She asked politely, considering herself as the organizer of the party.

Zhao Manzhi got straight to the point, "No, since you asked me to come here for something, just say it directly."

Fang Ling's eyes dodged for a moment, but she still ordered a few lattes and desserts, and returned the menu to the waiter.

After all, it was not a glorious thing, and there was also a not-so-familiar Li Ke present. She felt a little uncomfortable, and stammered for a long time, and just exchanged greetings awkwardly.

Seeing this, Zhao Manzhi patted Li Ke's hand under the table, and the latter stood up knowingly, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Fang Ling nodded.

There were only two people left at the table, but the deadlock was not broken.

The good friends who used to go in and out together and talk about everything are now relatively silent, and even have to be careful when they speak.

Zhao Manzhi looked at Fang Ling deeply, wanting to say something but stopping.

She didn't know what to say. After all, it was ridiculous for such a thing to happen to Fang Ling, but if it was related to Chen Muchuan, it didn't seem so outrageous.

"Seeing you crying like that, is he not going to take it?"

"I know now is not the right time." Fang Ling's eyes slowly filled with mist, "I finally got the offer, I can't take maternity leave right after joining the company, Chen Muchuan is even more, he feels that he is a burden..." "

Well, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place." She said that Chen Muchuan was not a good person, Fang Ling refused to listen, and she had to blame herself for this result. Adhering to the last bit of friendship, Zhao Manzhi thought, I should still help her, "How long has it been? While the month is still small, do it."

Fang Ling touched her belly, "I..."

Before she finished speaking, the waiter came with a tray of coffee and snacks. When he handed it to Zhao Manzhi, his hand shook, and brown liquid poured out, and even the beautiful latte art shook out.

The young girl was so scared that her face turned pale, and she apologized hurriedly, "Sorry Miss, I'm so sorry!"

Zhao Manzhi was wearing a khaki windbreaker today, and it was stained with coffee, leaving brown and white stains.

The manager noticed the unusual movement here and rushed over to deal with it. "Excuse me, ma'am. Our waiter accidentally stained your clothes. We will waive the bill for you and compensate you with a 300 yuan coupon, okay?" "

It's okay, it's okay." She waved her hand and wiped it with a napkin. The stains that had just been made should be washed off immediately. "Where is the bathroom?"

"Over there, I'll take you there."

"No."

Li Ke came back and saw this scene. When he passed by Zhao Manzhi, he winked at her, "Did you two splash coffee on each other?"

Zhao Manzhi: "...Can you be more imaginative?"

She laughed lightly, "Just kidding. The lighting in the bathroom here is not very good. When I came out just now, there was a step that I didn't notice and almost twisted my foot. You should be careful too."

"Got it."

This coffee shop is not big, and there is no extra space for a dry and wet separation washbasin. Zhao Manzhi had to go into the bathroom to wash.

Just like Li Ke said, the space is not big, the lighting is dim, and there is a narrow step at the entrance. It is easy to fall if you are not careful.

She was thankful for Li Ke's reminder, and she stepped over carefully and closed the door with her backhand.

After thinking for a moment, she turned the door lock again, and felt relieved when she heard the sound of the lock tongue being buckled behind her.

The faucet valve was turned on, and the white water flowed out.

The light was really bad. The only light in front of the mirror was right above her head. When she buried her head in washing clothes, it was completely blocked.

Zhao Manzhi shook the water off her hands and was about to find another light source. As soon as she turned around, her mouth and nose were covered tightly by a strong hand.
