Chapter 649: 540, Cold and Beautiful School Flower and Her CEO Boyfriend (Request for Monthly Tickets)
"Senior Brother Lu, you really don't know who Mr. Yang is?"
"The internet says he's a super-billionaire!"
Watching the backs of Yang Hao and Wang Bingru as they left, Zhou Xiaoya still had stars in her eyes, and silently marveled in her heart: life is indeed filled with uncertainties. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire
You never know when the chance to change your fate will appear.
In Zhou Xiaoya's view, today was her chance to change her destiny, as the saying goes, 'A good horse is often found, but a good judge of horses isn't.'
Although Yang Hao might not yet be her judge of horses, Zhou Xiaoya felt he would definitely become one, since nobody said a good horse couldn't seek out the judge, right!
Well, as long as she maintained a good relationship with Bingru, she would be able to keep in touch with the big CEO, and once she graduated she could ask Bingru to recommend her, surely securing a good position in Mr. Yang's company.
Zhou Xiaoya silently plotted in her heart.
"Xiao Ya, let's go."
"Let's go eat hotpot!"
Lu Ming suddenly spoke up, planning to learn more about Yang Hao from Zhou Xiaoya, the gossip lover, and further improve his relationship with her.
Though Wang Bingru already had a boyfriend, Lu Ming wasn't ready to give up, reasoning that if Yang Hao really was a super-billionaire, he must be very busy and wouldn't have time for his girlfriend.
As for him, he had the advantage of proximity and perhaps someday, if Wang Bingru felt lonely, his opportunity would come.
"Uh, Senior Brother Lu, let's not."
"I just remembered I promised to go to the night market with my best friend!"
Faced with Lu Ming's invitation, Zhou Xiaoya hesitated for a moment before decisively rejecting him.
What a joke, what if Mr. Yang got angry if she went to dinner with Lu Ming?
Zhou Xiaoya had already identified herself as one of Mr. Yang's people, and the man in front of her, Senior Brother Lu, her former crush, was Mr. Yang's "rival in love"!
In this grand setting, she could not possibly go have dinner with him.
If this news reached Wang Bingru and then came to Mr. Yang, wouldn't it damage her image!
Although the chances of this happening were very low, and Mr. Yang might not care about such trifles.
But Zhou Xiaoya's main approach was to be cautious; as a "good horse" seeking to hold tight to a judge, she could not afford any flaws.
"Hmm?"
"Not going?"
Lu Ming frowned, thinking that his invitation to Zhou Xiaoya for dinner was already a great concession, yet this little fan girl had rejected him, which annoyed him a lot.
"Sorry, Senior Brother Lu, I really forgot."
"I'm taking off first, see you later!"
Zhou Xiaoya didn't want to have too much to do with her former idol as being seen with him could be problematic.
So, she quickly fled the scene.
Alright, alright, alright!
Damn...
A somewhat shattered Lu Ming furiously laughed, letting out three "alrights" before uttering a frustrated curse.
Once Zhou Xiaoya's figure had completely disappeared, Lu Ming immediately opened Kuaiyin, then entered the keyword "Mr. Yang," and a series of related videos instantly popped up.
[1VS12, Mr. Yang teaches you how to self-rescue when facing kidnappers...]
[Movies wouldn't dare shoot this, super-billionaire Mr. Yang fights twelve kidnappers alone...]
[The Kung Fu CEO unraveled, he's the president of Tianmei Media, the boss of Maetian Entertainment, and also a major shareholder of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group...]
Lu Ming always felt that watching short videos was a waste of time and life; wouldn't it be better to read a few more books instead!
So previously, he hardly ever watched short videos and had only glanced at news about Yang Hao a few times. Now, having watched the detailed introduction and videos, he was dumbfounded.
Because the other party's experiences were too legendary. Having a net worth in the hundreds of billions was one thing, but to be skilled in martial arts, and to beat over a dozen kidnappers single-handedly in real combat was another. Crucially, this event was officially endorsed by the public security system of Hucheng, which had released a police report long ago. Although the report briefly mentioned, "The victim fought back desperately and finally captured the kidnappers!"
But this was the best evidence of the video's authenticity, as most netizens were skeptical when the video first came out, thinking it was staged or scripted.
He must be a monster!
Lu Ming frowned and silently lamented in his mind.
"Brother Lu, what are you doing!"
Just as Lu Ming was staring blankly at the content of the short video, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.
Lu Ming instinctively turned around, and the person speaking to him was his roommate, Fang Yu.
"Brother Lu, let me tell you!"
"I just saw Wang Bingru affectionately linking arms with a man, occasionally kissing him on the face too!"
"I really didn't expect the usually cold and beautiful school flower Bingru to have this side!"
"Mainly because her boyfriend is actually quite handsome, tall too, just that he doesn't look like a student."
"Do you think Wang Bingru has latched onto a wealthy guy?"
Fang Yu was animatedly sharing the gossip he had seen with Lu Ming, indeed with an intent to knock down his outstanding roommate a peg.
To the student community, Lu Ming was definitely outstanding and also had good relationships with the teachers. Because of this, he also came off as rather arrogant. The roommates maintained a harmonious relationship with him on the surface, but behind his back, they really disliked his supercilious attitude.
And Fang Yu knew that Lu Ming liked Wang Bingru and had also pursued her, so now he deliberately revealed this news to provoke him.
Sure enough, hearing Fang Yu mention this made Lu Ming even more depressed. With a dark face, he replied, "At this age, it's normal to have a boyfriend. Probably they will break up in a few days."
"That's true, it's just a boyfriend, not a husband after all."
"Still, I'm quite envious of that guy, after all, he has had her."
Fang Yu sighed once more.
His words were another innuendo at Lu Ming, who, after all, had never even been in a position to have her.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"If not, let's go together."
Lu Ming didn't want to continue the topic anymore, and casually asked.
"Not yet, then let's go to the Third Cafeteria!"
"I saw Wang Bingru and her boyfriend heading that way, they probably went there to eat. We might run into them by chance!"
Fang Yu wanted Lu Ming to see for himself how Wang Bingru was arm in arm with her boyfriend, so as to further knock down his arrogant roommate.
Little did he know, Lu Ming was already heavily struck down, but he was still quite interested in tracking the whereabouts of Wang Bingru and Yang Hao, and immediately nodded in agreement.
The two then headed toward the Third Cafeteria.
Passing an artificial lake on the way to the cafeteria, which is also considered the heart of Jiangcheng University's scenic views, featured a built-up artificial mountain and pavilion in the middle of the lake, a favorite spot for young couples.
At this time, Yang Hao and Wang Bingru were sitting on a wooden bench in the pavilion, with Wang Bingru resting her head on Yang Hao's shoulder, looking content.
The reason they came here was Yang Hao's suggestion. As an ordinary graduate from a second-tier university, he was somewhat longing for the best university in Jiangcheng, just as ordinary people who arrived in Capital City would want to visit Qingbei.
And Yang Hao's request was exactly what Wang Bingru wanted. She had planned to take Yang Hao around the campus in grand style precisely to announce through actions that she was now "taken."
Otherwise, people like Lu Ming would persist annoyingly one after another, forcing the otherwise pleasant Wang Bingru to adopt a cold persona as a shield. Now, she wanted to openly show off her romance, letting everyone know she had a boyfriend.
The pavilion in the middle of the artificial lake was quite large. Now being dinner time, many young couples, having had their meals, were strolling around. Some were feeding the fish with breadcrumbs, attracting groups of koi around the pavilion.
However, due to the presence of Wang Bingru and Yang Hao, the atmosphere inside the pavilion turned a bit strange. While most of the girls could focus on feeding or admiring the fish, their boyfriends' eyes kept stealthily drifting toward the "cold and beautiful school flower."
Although Wang Bingru had not been enrolled for long, her name frequently appeared on the school forum or the "confession wall," making her quite well-known in Jiangcheng University, becoming the center of attention wherever she went.
