4 Enthusiastic or Pretentious?

Qin Yang and Zhang Bin turned to the young lady and saw her beautiful smile.

Her smile looked a bit reserved but it didn't even affect the beauty of her smile.

Qin Yang's eyes lit up. Even though he had seen countless beautiful girls, he still felt moved.

Such an enchanting lady!

If Qin Yang was in this state, then so was Zhang Bin. His eyes remained fixed on the young lady's face as if he had forgotten everything else.

After a while, Qin Yang came back to his senses and looked away. At the same time, he secretly exclaimed in his heart, 'What a dangerous woman! If she were born in ancient times, she'd be a scourge. God knows how many men would have fought over her.'

When the young lady noticed Zhang Bin staring at her, she realized that something was a little off. Then, she stopped smiling and returned back to her cold, unbothered face.

Zhang Bin also snapped back from his reverie but his heart remained restless. He smiled and took the chance to greet her quickly. "Miss, are you also a college student?"

The young lady smiled and said, "Yes, but I'm not from Zhonghai University."

Zhang Bin's eyes lit up. "Which university are you from? I'm familiar with all the local schools…"

"I'm from Zhonghai as well. I went to the capital for a holiday."

"Oh." Zhang Bin took out his business card and insistently handed it to her. "This is my business card. If you need any help, you can call me at any time. Excuse me for asking but what's your name?"

The young woman slightly frowned but she still accepted Zhang Bin's business card. She glanced at Qin Yang who was next to her and mumbled, "My name is Li Siqi from Zhonghai Theater Academy."

"Zhonghai Theater Academy? That's a famous school."

Zhang Bin complemented and continued talking, "Zhonghai Theater Academy, Yanjing Theater Academy, and Yanjing Film Academy are cradle places for China's entertainment industry. Miss Li is so beautiful; you will definitely become a famous celebrity in China in the future."

Li Siqi replied with a smile. "Mr. Zhang, you're just exaggerating ."

Although there was a smile on Li Siqi's face, it was obvious that her smile was reserved and polite with a distant feeling, as if there was something invisible that was preventing the others from getting too close to her.

Although Zhang Bin wanted to be friendly with her, he was also someone who was experienced after being in society for a very long time. He could understand people by observing their actions and expressions. He definitely wouldn't act like a complete fool because that would only annoy the girl.

The art of flirting also depended on timing and opportunity.

They still had the entire night.

Zhang Bin smiled and stopped talking. He went directly to his berth, took out his laptop and started working.

Li Siqi's eyes fell on Qin Yang's face curiously. She was really observant and could tell that it was true that Qin Yang didn't remember his major but she did not believe that it was because of poor memory.

'Is this young man well-connected?'

Qin Yang felt Li Siqi's gaze and turned his head. Their eyes met and Qin Yang greeted her with a friendly smile and nodded.

Li Siqi pursed her lips as Qin Yang's clear and calm eyes surprised her.

She knew she was beautiful and it was difficult for boys of the same age to look her straight in the eyes. They would either appear panicky and clumsy, or some might even pretend to be calm. Qin Yang looked like he was about 20 years old but he had prudence and indifference that was beyond his age.

He wore ordinary clothes, a T-shirt and jeans, and the watch on his wrist was a little old and did not look valuable. Other than his slightly handsome appearance, it seemed that there was nothing outstanding about him.

Li Siqi lightly patted her hair and gently smiled at him in return to Qin Yang's friendly and polite greeting. Then, she withdrew her gaze and looked at the tablet in front of her.

Qin Yang also turned around and continued reading his book. After a while, they heard a loud ring, followed by Zhang Bin's voice.

"Well, Xiao Liu, I've read the plan that you made but there are still certain parts that aren't perfect. I've marked it down for you so you'll need to revise it again. Be careful when you work; don't be sloppy. Any kind of carelessness may cause tremendous loss! So make sure you take another good look at it ... Also, the five million yuan from Director Zhou of Hongsen Building Materials must be transferred this afternoon. As for the eight million yuan from Feihong Company, hold on to it first. I'll deal with it once I'm back. Okay, finish it as soon as possible."

Zhang Bin's voice had the tone of a leader. When he ended the phone call, Zhang Bin smiled and said, "These college students have just entered the company and haven't adjusted their mindsets yet. They need guidance before they can adapt to work but they are actually very clever. As long as their mindset is fixed, it will be easy for them to accomplish things."

Neither Qin Yang nor Li Siqi reacted after Zhang Bin finished speaking, but the pregnant woman on the opposite side smiled and said, "The shift from school to society is always a process."

Zhang Bin's pretentious work 'performance' did not attract Li Siqi's attention which discouraged him. But, he casually replied to the pregnant woman, "Yeah, that's true but everyone is different. Some can understand quickly while others can't get on board no matter how much you teach them."

"What is your name, madam? What does your husband do? Your stomach is already so big. Why did he let you take the train alone? If something happens, there's no one to take care of you."

The pregnant woman sighed and said, "Just call me Sister Lu. My husband is a soldier and he isn't home most of the time. See, he just received another temporary task and had to return to the army."

When he heard her, he stopped smiling and said. "Oh, no wonder. Soldiers have very little time to spend with their families."

Zhang Bin turned his attention back to his computer, played a movie, and watched it while lying down on his berth.

The sky gradually darkened. Qin Yang turned on the light and continued reading his book. After a while, he felt a little hungry. He took out a packet of instant noodles from his duffel bag and got out of bed.

Zhang Bin blinked, he sat up from the bed and asked, "Qin Yang, are you just going to have instant noodles for dinner?"

Qin Yang smiled and said, "Instant noodles are actually very delicious. Besides, if I take the train without eating instant noodles, I feel unsatisfied."

Zhang Bin walked over with a smile, took the instant noodles from Qin Yang and placed it on the table next to him. His eyes swept over Li Siqi who was still on the bed and smiled. "Instant noodles do taste good but it's not nutritious. Just wait for me, I'll bring back some delicious food and beer. Let's eat and drink together. Miss Li, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Li Siqi froze for a moment and politely refused, "Thank you but I brought bread. I'm not hungry yet."

Zhang Bin smiled joyfully. "Come on! Fate has put us all together in this room; don't be a party pooper. Plus, there's still a long night ahead of us and bread would not be enough. If you're not going to say what you want, I'll just see what I can find. Anyways, the train only has so many options. Let's eat together!"

Zhang Bin did not wait for Li Siqi to refute. He picked up his wallet and walked out of the room.

Qin Yang looked at his packet of instant noodle that was placed on the table by Zhang Bin and smiled. 'Did he have to be so pretentious?'

'Can't I just cook some instant noodles for myself?'
