ST3YC Chapter 132.1

Shrank to a 3-Years-Old Child Chapter 132.1: Roommate Gathering
The magnificent necklace is set with sixty-six diamonds, and even the chain that encircles the neck is covered with tiny diamonds. The intricate patterns outline a dazzling brilliance that is almost blinding.
It’s a necklace that looks very expensive, but it’s also an extremely difficult necklace to wear.
If an outfit isn’t styled well, it’s easy for a necklace to steal all the spotlight, turning the wearer into a walking jewelry stand.
But once the necklace was placed around Qingqing’s neck, it was as if a herd of wild horses had been tamed, instantly losing its brilliance and quietly becoming an accessory to complement its owner’s beauty.
The reason is simple: it’s not that Qingqing is too beautiful, but rather her aura.
That sense of wealth and luxury cultivated from childhood is something not everyone can possess.
Especially when Qingqing slightly straightens her lips and her pair of captivating, alluring peach blossom eyes lazily look at you, the overwhelming aura of cold elegance is almost suffocating.
A sense of distance arises spontaneously, as if one can only admire from afar and not approach.
In a daze, Fu Heng even wondered whether the person sitting in front of him was a real person or a noble lady who had stepped out of that court painting.
It felt so unreal that he was somewhat alarmed by this ‘ungraspable’ illusion.
However, the moment Qingqing opened her mouth, all her elegance and aloofness vanished: “Fu Heng, Fu Heng, am I pretty?”
Like a little girl, Qingqing tugged at Fu Heng’s sleeve and shook it. She looked at herself in the mirror with a rather narcissistic air, and the more she looked, the more she thought, “Wow, where did this little fairy come from? She’s so beautiful!”
“How can you praise yourself like that? Don’t you have any shame?”
Gently tapping Qingqing’s nose, Fu Heng smiled indulgently, deeply feeling that Gu Qingqing was still the same person she always was, never having changed.

“Hmph, I don’t care, I’m the prettiest.”

Qingqing wrinkled her nose coquettishly and turned her head away, no longer looking at Fu Heng.

She admired her beautiful appearance one last time before taking the handbag she had already chosen with satisfaction. She waved goodbye to Fu Heng and walked away gracefully in her high heels.

Watching her retreating figure, Fu Heng suddenly felt a pang of regret.

I should have driven her there myself.

Unfortunately, his assistant had already arranged a very important meeting for him, and Fu Heng couldn’t leave at all. He could only watch with a depressed mood as his exquisitely dressed wife happily went out to keep the appointment.

Thankfully, Qingqing’s party companions weren’t men, right?

Otherwise, Fu Heng really wouldn’t want her to go out.

Gu Qingqing has a driver’s license; eighteen-year-old Qingqing can also drive.

In fact, she is an adult.

The first thing she did after that was to take a driving test, so her driving skills are…

“Why are you back again?” Fu Heng looked at Qingqing, who had rushed back in a hurry, and immediately started rummaging through drawers and cabinets, seemingly looking for something.

“Where’s my learner’s sticker that I put on the car?” Qingqing was getting anxious because she was going to be late.

Fu Heng: “…”

I remember my wife as a very skilled driver; I almost forgot that she’s only a novice driver, having just gotten her license less than six months ago.

“I’ll give you a ride.” Fu Heng took the car keys from Qingqing’s hand: “After so many years, how could the ‘learner’ badge still be there?”

It has long since weathered into ash.

“Okay then.” Still not very confident in her driving skills, Qingqing could only accept Fu Heng’s suggestion.

The couple went out together. What Qingqing didn’t notice was that before getting into the car, Fu Heng secretly sent a message to his assistant, asking him to postpone the meeting by twenty minutes.

Qingqing and her roommates chose a very down-to-earth place for their gathering: a mid-range buffet karaoke venue.

It’s only 60 yuan per person for three hours of karaoke and unlimited buffet meals—a great deal!

I feel really bad for the necklace worth tens of millions around Qingqing’s neck.

However, Qingqing herself didn’t think that much about it; she just dressed herself up beautifully because she was happy.

Therefore, whether the decorations are expensive or not is not within her consideration.

When she arrived, two of her roommates were already there.

They were Zhang, the room manager who arranged the meeting, and another girl named Chen Yan, who had slept in the bed opposite Qingqing.

As soon as Qingqing entered the room, she saw the two women carrying a large amount of food and eating heartily.

The poor KTV equipment was completely neglected and could only be used as a simple music player.

“Are you here to eat or to sing karaoke?”

Qingqing rolled her eyes without any politeness, while condemning her roommates’ disrespectful behavior towards their place, and then took a small cake to eat.

“If you’re going to talk so much, why don’t you just not eat it?” Chen Yan retorted without any politeness.

She’s a very cute girl. Even though she’s in her forties, her baby face makes her look like a college student who hasn’t graduated yet.

Even her figure is petite; she’s so small that she’s not even as tall as Qingqing’s shoulder when she stands up straight.

“Our Yan Yan is getting sharp-tongued and quick-witted.”

Qingqing, dissatisfied, leaned over and pinched Chen Yan’s cheeks, pulling them apart. Chen Yan, not to be outdone, tickled her. The two elegantly dressed girls turned into crazy women on the sofa.

“How old are you all? Why are you still acting like childish kids?”

A deep sense of helplessness flashed across Ms Zhang’s eyes; he felt that taking care of them was more exhausting than taking care of his own children.

“I’m eighteen!” Qingqing answered loudly, and she was telling the truth.

“I’m eighteen too!” Chen Yan followed closely behind, thinking that Qingqing was just playing on the “older sister is always eighteen” joke, so she joined in the fun.

“Alright, get up quickly, what song do you want to sing?”

Despite saying that, Ms Zhang had already sat down in front of the karaoke machine and started selecting the songs that these “kids” loved to sing.

Ms. Zhang’s real name is Ms. Zhang. Because of this name, she is often teased. She also has a pretty and gentle face.

So in everyone’s impression, she has always been the big sister who takes care of all the girls in the dormitory, so she has a good relationship with everyone.

This “everyone” does not only refer to the four girls in their dormitory, but also includes the entire class, and even the entire school.

Indeed, our CEO Zhang is a true playboy, whose social skills are far superior to even Qingqing, who boasts of having a harem of three thousand beauties.

And Ms. Zhang lived up to her name. She didn’t work for more than two years after graduating from university before starting her own business, and now she is the CEO of a listed company.

Her family was not well-off; they could even be considered impoverished. Therefore, during the entrepreneurial period, Ms. Zhang received virtually no help or support from her family.

She’s a true self-made woman!

Therefore, Qingqing and the others all admired her very much.

Every time General Manager Zhang organizes a gathering, everyone responds enthusiastically, which is one of the main reasons why Qingqing will attend this time.

In comparison, although Qingqing later started her own company, she knew exactly how much support from her family background she received.

However, everyone has their own circumstances, and these are not things that can be compared.

Without family support, which might even be a burden for her, Ms. Zhang has no choice but to forge ahead relentlessly.

Qingqing was born into a family with billions in assets, and her birth destined her to live a very comfortable life even if she did nothing.

Therefore, for her, her career and struggles were not for survival, but more for personal interests, hobbies, and dreams.

All the profits Qingqing’s company earned were used for charity.Many strange yet familiar memories inexplicably popped into my mind.

Qingqing, who had long since grown accustomed to this feeling, didn’t resist it and simply let her brain accept these memories.

As time goes by, these memories will eventually become a good medicine for her recovery.

“By the way, Yan Yan, I heard your company recently won a big project in a bid,” General Manager Zhang suddenly asked.

“Yes, our city is planning to build a new industrial park to relocate all the factories that were previously built haphazardly, especially those that are highly polluting, so that the city’s planning can be more rational, and we can also take some measures to improve environmental sanitation.”

These weren’t trade secrets, Chen Yan answered casually.

Unlike the big bosses who all own their own companies, she takes the conventional route of a corporate slave.

]After graduation, she joined a top 100 company and started from the bottom, working diligently and climbing up the ranks little by little.

She was only recently able to enter the company’s decision-making level and become a member of the senior management team because of the success of this bidding project.

She can now proudly call herself a “strong woman” in public.

This strong woman is just a bit cute, and doesn’t look very authoritative.

Frustrated, Chen Yan poked her own face. No matter how many years had passed, she was still worried about her overly cute appearance.

Heaven knows how much she envied Qingqing’s noble and aloof mature woman’s face, which looked so domineering.

At the very least, a handsome face like Ms Zhang’s would be acceptable; it would give people a warm and welcoming feeling and inspire respect for intellectuals.

Unlike her, when she stayed at a hotel during her last business trip, the security guard called her a kid.

“Little kid, hahaha… that security guard would never guess that your child is probably older than his!”

Qingqing happened to hear Ms Zhang telling this funny story, and she immediately burst into laughter, almost falling off the sofa.

“Aren’t you afraid of laughing yourself to death?!”

Rolling her eyes, Chen Yan reached out and pulled Qingqing back from the fall, then casually scratched her waist.

Qingqing is very ticklish. She screamed in fright and immediately fought back without backing down.

Seeing that the two children were making a fuss again, Ms Zhang simply pretended not to see them and focused on singing.

Just then, the closed doors of the private room opened, and a woman with delicate features walked in, looking as fragile as a white flower in the wind.

She wore a white dress, her slender body swaying slightly, her face looking pitiful and endearing.

This is Yuan Yuanyuan, Qingqing’s last roommate in the dormitory.

“Are you already having a blast, ladies?”

Unfortunately, the moment Xiaobailian opened her mouth, her thick Northeastern accent completely ruined her beautiful image, making her seem down-to-earth.

Qingqing and Chen Yan pretended to cover their ears in pain and protested loudly, “Sister Yuan, can you please stop talking? We’re all so disillusioned.”

The Northeastern dialect is so contagious that the two of them almost had their Mandarin accents distorted.

“Hey, that’s just how we talk, you’re all used to it.” Yuan Yuanyuan waved her hand dismissively and strode into the private room, grabbing some fruit from the table and popping it into her mouth.

“I ran so fast that I didn’t even have time to drink some water, and my throat is burning.”

“Then drink more water.” Qingqing took the initiative to get up and pour water for Yuan Yuanyuan.
