Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten-Chapter 151: My Money Is All with Him

After breakfast, Lin Zhengran took Jiang Xueli to the new location of the music studio by taxi.

While waiting for the car, Jiang Xueli scrolled through the message from Wang Lan that had been sent to all the studio's singers.

"Hey Zhengran, did you know? Our studio seems to have moved. Sister Wang sent a group announcement two days ago saying the old studio was rented out, and they changed locations. And they even changed the name! Now it’s called ‘Zhengshi Music Co., Ltd.’ Sounds a bit fancier now. The name… it sounds nice, but I feel like something’s a little off. I just can’t put my finger on it."

Her instincts were sharp, but since Jiang Xueli never thought to connect Zheng and Shi with Lin Zhengran and Jiang Jingshi’s names, she couldn’t figure out what was strange.

A taxi pulled up in front of them, and Lin Zhengran opened the door. "I know about the rental. Didn’t Sister Wang’s studio run into some issues two weeks ago? So now it’s merged with Jiang Jingshi’s studio."

"Oh… wait, what?!"

Jiang Xueli followed him into the car, still in shock. "Sister Wang’s studio merged with Jiang Jingshi’s? So… our studio got bought out?!"

"No, a buyout would mean Sister Wang has no shares. A merger means she still has a stake in the company. It’s just that since she doesn’t have many resources right now, her shares are smaller than Jiang Jingshi’s."

"So Sister Wang is working under Jiang Jingshi now?"

The taxi drove off, disappearing into the city.

At nearly the same time, Han Wenwen and He Qing walked out of the school gates.

The two best friends crossed the street hand in hand, drawing plenty of attention from passing boys. Pretty girls always attracted stares.

"Wenwen, did you hear?" He Qing said. "Some classmates were saying there’s a new snack shop that just opened on this street. Apparently, they have a ton of variety."

Han Wenwen’s fox-like eyes sparkled. "Of course, I heard! Why else would I come out for breakfast today? I came just to check out the new shop! This time, it’s on me, Qingqing!"

He Qing checked her phone. "No need, you treated me last time. I still have some money left."

Han Wenwen peeked at her screen—only twenty yuan left. She was shocked. "You only have twenty left?! How did you spend it so fast? Didn’t Auntie just send you money a few days ago?"

He Qing gave her a knowing smile. "That’s not the point. My wallet might be empty, but I just need to ask Zhengran for a little, and I’ll have enough for next week’s meals."

Han Wenwen looked confused. "You’re asking Lin Zhengran for money? You guys are… pooling your money together now?"

He Qing answered as if it was the most natural thing in the world, her face blushing slightly.

"Of course! Lin Zhengran is my boyfriend, so of course he keeps the money. Now, whenever my mom sends me money, I transfer it all to him. And my leftover prize money too—it’s all with him. If I need to buy something, I just ask him for a little."

Saying that, He Qing sent Lin Zhengran a message.

He Qing: "Lin Zhengran, I want to buy some snacks. There’s a new snack shop near the school gate, but I don’t have much money left. Can you send me 100 yuan? I’ll send you pictures after I buy them, I promise I won’t waste it!"

Not long after, Lin Zhengran sent her 100 yuan.

Lin Zhengran: "No need to send pictures. It’s not like I don’t trust you."

He Qing: "Hehe, I’ll send them anyway! Girls should always report to their boyfriends about what they buy. Do you want anything? I can get some for you too! (cute sticker)"

Lin Zhengran: "No need, you go ahead. I haven’t been craving snacks lately."

He Qing: "Oh… okay!"

After chatting, He Qing waved her phone in front of Han Wenwen with a bright smile. "See, Wenwen? Zhengran sent me another hundred. That should be enough for next week’s expenses!"

Han Wenwen blinked her fox-like eyes, filled with envy.

But she suddenly remembered that back in middle school, when she tried giving money to Zhengran-gege, he wouldn’t accept it.

So why was he taking He Qing’s money now?!

No, no, this needed to be addressed.

She needed to find a time to talk to Zhengran-gege about this.

She also wanted to give him all her money and ask him for spending money like He Qing!

That was how couples were supposed to be, right?

What was the point of a girl keeping money herself?

Only when a boy spent recklessly, or when a girl didn’t trust him, would she hold onto the money.

Normally, the one in charge of the household should keep it!

"Wenwen? What are you thinking about? Why so quiet?" He Qing asked, noticing Han Wenwen spacing out.

Han Wenwen snapped back to reality and smiled. "Nothing, nothing. Just thinking… you and Lin Zhengran sure are getting closer. Even your wallets are combined now."

She spoke with clear admiration.

He Qing grinned. "It’s just that I’d waste money if I held onto it myself. I don’t trust myself with it. But if he’s holding it, I feel at ease."

Han Wenwen let out a slightly displeased sigh and made a mental note of this. "Let’s go find that shop!"

"Mm!"

The two snack-loving girls walked ahead excitedly until they spotted the store—《Fen Shu Ba》.

Hand in hand, they eagerly ran inside.

Just as Lin Zhengran had guessed, these two went crazy at the sight of a snack shop.

Unlike Jiang Xueli.

Earlier that morning, he and Jiang Xueli had agreed to buy a bag of chips to try after breakfast.

But as soon as they left, they completely forgot about it.

It wasn’t that they didn’t like snacks, but their interest in them was pathetically small.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, the taxi had been driving for over thirty minutes, moving away from the city center.

They finally arrived at the entrance of an extravagant two-story music company.

Before, Wang Lan’s studio had looked like just another storefront from the outside, only feeling slightly more spacious after stepping in.

But this place…

Even from the outside, it screamed luxury.

It didn’t feel like a studio at all!

Though only two stories tall, it had a massive footprint with grand height and width.

There were even security guards and a surrounding courtyard wall.

It looked completely professional.

As they stepped out of the taxi, Jiang Xueli stood beside Lin Zhengran, gazing up at the impressive building.

On the courtyard wall, large characters gleamed under the sun—Zhengshi Music Media Co., Ltd.

Jiang Xueli sighed in awe. "This new place is so fancy!"

Although Lin Zhengran had already been here a few times two weeks ago, he was still surprised.

In just half a month, the name, entrance, and even the walls had been renovated, making it look even more official.

And this was just a branch company. It wasn’t even the main headquarters.

He couldn’t imagine how much money Jiang Jingshi had invested in this within just two weeks.

She was really serious about this new company.

Fortunately, Lin Zhengran had already planned ahead.

As long as he personally trained the staff and managed the company well, they would earn back the investment within a year.

The two of them walked up to the gate.

The security guard was a young man, probably a university student. "Do you have an entry pass?"

Jiang Xueli pulled out her phone. "No, I used to be with Sister Wang’s studio. It got merged, right? I’m here to check in."

The guard glanced at the information and nodded. "Alright, you can go in. What about him?"
