619 The Origin of the Word âCatfightâ
âWhatâs there to be embarrassed about?â Song Yuting said indifferently.
âThe school only gave us one spot. Whoever has the ability will get it. If she isnât good enough, isnât it normal for her to lose her place?â
âThatâs true, but I still feel a little awkward.â
Wang Qi was very aware of why Song Yuting could replace Wang Ying to be selected at this time.
Her father was the CEO of a listed company and had offered plenty of money to help her buy this spot.
Once Wang Ying found out about this, the two of them would definitely have a big fight.
Now, she could only hope that Wang Ying would not find out about this at this time.
This way, they could avoid a war. Otherwise, they would find it impossible for them to get along with each other despite seeing each other frequently.
âAlright, stop thinking about those useless things. Letâs hurry up and eat. My father will come and pick me up in a while.â
âDonât rush me.â
The two of them quickened their pace and arrived at the entrance of the store. They pushed the door open and entered.
âHiss⦠Boss is really handsome,â Wang Qi couldnât help but say.
At first, she didnât believe it when everyone said that the boss was handsome.
Now that she saw was seeing him in person, he was simply divine.
Hearing the voice, Wang Lu and Du Yuxuan subconsciously turned around.
Surprisingly, she saw that the other customers in the shop were none other than her classmates, Song Yuting and Wang Qi.
âQiqi, you guys are here to eat too?â Du Yuxuan greeted.
âWhat a coincidence.â
Wang Qi said awkwardly, âMany people said that the food here is delicious, so we came over to take a look. I didnât expect to meet you guys.â
âThen letâs sit down and eat together,â Du Yuxuan said casually. She was not as enthusiastic as she had imagined.
Because of they had competed for the single role in the play, Wang Lu and Song Yuting did not have a good relationship.
As Wang Luâs best friend, she naturally had to stand on her side.
Wang Lu ignored Song Yuting, and the latter ignored her and sat down.
Lin Yi felt that the atmosphere was a little off, but he didnât take it seriously. He still had a business to run.
âWhat would you like to eat?â
Song Yuting was not afraid at all when she saw what was on the menu.
Compared to this high-end three-star Michelin she often ate it himself. A bowl of egg fried rice at 189 yuan was not very expensive.
However, when they were ordering, Song Yuting glanced at Wang Lu and ordered a few things as if she was showing off.
âTwo servings of egg fried rice.â
âOne fried crab.â
âA black pine mushroom abalone soup.â
âAnd one Supreme Braised Pot .â
âOh, and a bottle of Sunrise Land peach sake.â
âIâm sorryâ¦â
âYuting, didnât you order a little too much? Can the two of us finish it?â Wang Qi said.
âDidnât they say that the food here is delicious? Itâs rare for us to come out, so we have to try everything. We canât just order two servings of egg fried rice and be done with it, right?â
âUmâ¦â
Wang Qi didnât know what to say. Wasnât this deliberately challenging the other party?
âAnd bluefin tuna sashimi and fruit salad.â
âAlright, just wait.â
Lin Yi turned around and went to the kitchen. Du Yuxuan whispered, âLulu, ignore her. Letâs eat our food.â
Song Yuting did not say anything, but she despised her in her heart.
âDid you guys see the menu? Itâs such an expensive place. You can normally only eat egg fried rice here.â
âThis shop belongs to my brother. The more people order, the happier I am.â
Song Yutingâs hand trembled.
Her brother?
What the hell was going on?
Du Yuxuan couldnât help but laugh. This was a little exciting.
Soon, Song Yuxuanâs expression returned to normal and she stopped fussing over such trivial matters.
In any case, she had already gotten what she deserved. Spending a little money for a meal was nothing.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Yi brought everything out.
âThank you, Boss,â Wang Qi said.
âYouâre welcome.â
As an internet celebrity shop on Zhengyang Street, Song Yuting and Wang Qi couldnât help but immediately take a bite when the dishes were served.
The taste of it made the two of them exclaim for a while.
This was especially true for Song Yuting. She felt that the taste of the food in small shop was even better than that of the three-star Michelin restaurants outside.
What this handsome man made was different from those flirtatious sl*ts outside.
After the dishes were served, both sides ate with their heads lowered. Neither side paid attention to the other, and outsiders could not tell that they were even classmates.
Lin Yi was too lazy to worry too much. Such conflicts were common among female university students.
Otherwise, the word âcatfightâ would never have been created.
Ring!
Wang Luâs phone rang.
âTeacher Liu,â Wang Lu said respectfully after picking up the phone.
âSwitched?â
âI-I understand.â
The call lasted less than a minute. After hanging up, Wang Luâs expression changed drastically. Lin Yi and Du Yuxuan both felt that something was wrong.
âWhatâs wrong? What was changed?â Du Yuxuan asked.
âMy role has been changed,â Wang Lu said coldly.
âThatâs unlikely.â Du Yuxuan said.
âYouâve been rehearsing for a week and didnât do anything wrong. Why were you replaced?â
âYouâll have to ask her.â
Following Wang Luâs gaze, Lin Yi and Du Yuxuan looked at Song Yuting.
âShe took it?â
âHuh? What are you talking about?â Song Yuting said innocently, as if she didnât know anything.
âStop pretending. I donât believe you wouldnât know about this!â Wang Lu said coldly.
âLulu, what are you talking about? I really donât know anything about this,â Song Yuting said.
âSis, youâve been practicing this play the whole time. Even if you donât act well, they wouldnât have given me this opportunity. Why are you randomly accusing me?â
âStop pretending. You look disgusting!â Du Yuxuan said.
âHey, hey, hey, what are you saying?â Song Yuting said.
âWhen it comes to these kind of things, itâs all a competition. You were removed because youâre not capable enough. Why are you still blaming others? Donât you know to introspect?â
âYour father must have given a gift to the teachers in school. Donât think that we donât know the truth!â
Du Yuxuan said angrily, âYou know very well whatâs wrong with you!â
âWhat do you mean given a gift?â Song Yuting said, âDonât slander me.â
âYuting, stop talking. No matter what, weâre classmates. Thereâs no need to do this,â Wang Qi whispered.
âThey started it. I have no time for them,â Song Yuting said.
âMr. Liu is really too much. I clearly donât want this opportunity, but he still forced it upon me. Iâve been so busy recently that I donât have time to practice acting. I probably wonât even have time to shop in the next month.â
âYou!â
âAlright, alright. Itâs such a small matter. Thereâs no need to quarrel,â Lin Yi said.
âSince she doesnât want it, you can just fight for it.â
âBrother Lin, this isnât a matter we can fight about. If her family wasnât rich, the school wouldnât have removed me.â
âBut she doesnât want to take the role, right? In that case, she should give the opportunity to others.â
âBoss, thatâs not right,â Song Yuting said.
âAt first, the school asked me to participate, but I didnât want to act. It was too much of a waste of time, so the school teacher chose her. I guess she saw that her standard wasnât good enough, so she looked for me again. Do you think I can refuse? To ensure the quality of the play, the school wonât let me refuse.â
âItâs fine. Iâll make a call and help you settle it.â
With that, Lin Yi picked up his phone and called Guo Rui.
âMs, Guo, Iâm calling regarding your school play. They originally chose Wang Lu. Why did they swap her out?â
âAlright, go and ask about it. That student named Song Yuting doesnât really want the role, so she wants to reject it.â
âNo problem. Come to the shop when you have time. Iâll treat you to a meal.â
After talking to Guo Rui, Lin Yi hung up and looked at Song Yuting with a smile.
âIâve taken care of this for you. You donât have to play this role anymore. Youâll have time to shop now.â
âUmâ¦â
Song Yuting and Wang Qi were stunned.
No one expected Lin Yi to make this call.
âWho is Ms. Guo?â
âGuo Rui, a professor from your school. You should know her, right?â
âGuo Rui?â
Song Yuting and Wang Qi muttered. They were unfamiliar with this person.
They were both from the Performance Department, and Guo Rui was a professor from another department.
Even if they were in the same school, basically no one knew the faculty from other departments.
It was not unusual for the two of them not to know about Guo Rui.
âWho is this person? Why havenât I heard of her before?â Song Yuting muttered.
âMaybe sheâs a teacher from another academy.â Wang Qi said.
âYou donât have to take it seriously. How can a small teacher be so important? Heâs probably just saying it casually. Whether or not it can actually affect you is another matter.â
âI agree.â
Song Yuting poked the bottom of the bowl with her chopsticks. Initially, she thought that the boss of this shop was very handsome and she could eat delicious food here.
She did not expect him to do such a thing. If she had known earlier, she would not have come here to eat.
Thinking of this, Song Yuting sent her father a WeChat message, asking him to pick her up. She didnât want to eat anymore.
âBrother Lin, can you really snatch the spot back?â Du Yuxuan asked.
âHow is this considered snatching?â Lin Yi said.
âShe didnât want to act, so I did her a favor and fulfilled her wish, so donât claim that I snatched it.â
âHehe, what you said makes sense,â Du Yuxuan said with a smile.
âTsk, you make it sound so nice,â Song Yuting said.
âAlthough Iâm not interested, not everyone can fulfill this role well. The school leaders are not blind. How can they casually give this role to others? Itâd be a mockery to the school. Besides, you only know an unknown little teacher. How much influence can you have?â
Ring!
Song Yutingâs phone rang at this moment.
