《I Can See Their Cheating Rates》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Junior, Junior, do you need some help with that suitcase? I can help!¡± ¡°Look, look, that junior seems a little pretty. Do you want to go over and seduce her? She is exactly your type.¡± ¡°Is that a student or a teacher? She looks so young. I wonder what department she¡¯s in.¡± ¡­ As the noisy voices flooded his ears, a handsome young man in a white T-shirt and light-colored jeans suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at this familiar yet strange sight in confusion. Was this¡­ a university? But hadn¡¯t he graduated many years ago? Then, he thought of another possibility, so he quickly took out his cell phone and checked the date on it¡ªSeptember 3, 2016! This was¡­ ten years ago?! How did he return to the past? He seemed to recall having stayed up late for a few days to write his synopsis before suddenly dying. He looked around, and his heart beat much faster! Perhaps it was better to start over again. In his previous life, Wang Dong was unwilling to get a job after graduation. Therefore, after saving up for a few years, he joined forces with his friends to start a company. They started from zero and ended up making 100 million. He always felt extremely proud every time he saw how much he had made. In order to support the company, he slept on the streets, ate instant noodles, and worked day and night. Fortunately, hard work was rewarded! But as time passed, his arguments with his friend became more and more frequent, and the conflict between the two of them became uncontrollable. In the end, his friend got help from outside and stole the company from him. In the end, he lost everything and had to start working for others again. Now that he thought about it, he felt that those were hellish days. Wang Dong stretched, his eyes filled with amusement. Since even the heavens couldn¡¯t tolerate it and gave him a chance to be reborn, he had to seize the opportunity and find the opportunity to do something great again! He walked among the crowd with his hands in his pockets. Seeing the joy on their faces, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He couldn¡¯t help but feel that university life was still better! He didn¡¯t have to worry about whether he had enough money to spend, nor did he have to worry about being laid off in the next second. At this moment. he thought that most of the people here would definitely be glad that their examination scores were high enough. After all, the Lin Liu University he was at was a famous top university in the country. The students who could enter naturally had to work hard and sweat. The finance department here was even more famous, and every year, countless people struggled intensely just to enter. Fortunately, he had already become one of them. He started to hum an off-beat tune. Just as his imagination was running wild, a girl in a white dress walked over with a book in her arms. He was stunned on the spot. At this moment, Wang Dong saw a character panel miraculously appear in mid-air. [Name: Ouyang Siyan] [Profession: Student] [Looks: 87 points] [Status: Single] [Weakness: Delicacy] [Cheating Rate: 30%] [Seducing According to Weakness: Cheating rate will increase to 89%] Wang Dong was extremely curious. What was going on? Could it be that he was hallucinating? He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. The interface was still there. He looked at the others again. They couldn¡¯t seem to see it. Only he could! Could it be? He could actually see the weaknesses and cheating rates of the opposite sex around him? Yes, he realized that when he looked at men, these panels wouldn¡¯t appear. Then what about himself? Wang Dong looked down and saw a similar system interface. [Name: Wang Dong] [Points: 0 (You can exchange points for tools)] [Current tools: pinhole camera, night vision device, master key, anesthetic¡­] Although there were quite a lot of things, they were all grayed out. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn¡¯t use them. What the hell? Was he supposed to just stare at these images? Just as he was at a loss, a cold electronic voice sounded in his ear. ¡°The system has officially been activated¡­¡± ¡°The cheating rate system has already bound the host, Wang Dong¡­¡± ¡°Mission: Please seduce a member of the opposite sex within seven days, no restrictions on the target or the means. I suggest you complete it as soon as possible. If you fail, you will be killed!¡± Huh??? Rebirth wasn¡¯t free? Wang Dong¡¯s heart rose. Seducing the opposite sex was not his forte. Moreover, he had only been focused on making money. Women would only affect his speed of earning money! He asked in his heart, ¡°Can the missions be related to my career?¡± ¡°The host must complete the mission set by the system.¡± In other words, he couldn¡¯t change it. Wang Dong¡¯s mood was complicated. In his previous life, he had been wholeheartedly busy with his career and had rarely come into contact with women. In the end, he was given a mission to seduce the opposite sex in a week. Wasn¡¯t this making things difficult for him? If the mission was for him to earn 100,000 yuan in a week, he could still give it a try. Now, he even suspected that the system had mistaken him for another person. His cell phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out and took a look. Apparently, their homeroom teacher had asked them to gather in the classroom. There was no time to think too much. He hurriedly found Building 3 and climbed to the fifth floor before finding his class. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, his gaze was subconsciously attracted by a cold girl with a ponytail. The seats beside her were all empty, making her look independent. There was no change in her phoenix eyes, only coldness. He remembered that this was the class beauty¡ªSong Junyao. In his impression, Song Junyao had never smiled in the four years she was in university. In fact, if all her pursuers lined up, the line would go from the classroom to the field. However, she still remained single. Even until his death in his previous life, he had never heard of her getting married. Someone had once said this about Song Junyao. ¡°I think she¡¯s a fairy from heaven who came to transcend the tribulation. She¡¯s so pretty and strong, but heartless at the same time.¡± In fact, he agreed with this very much. After graduation, Song Junyao was recruited by a Forbes 500 company. It was said that she became a high-level executive not long after. Naturally, her future was definitely bright. Compared to him, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. Song Junyao seemed to have noticed his gaze. After looking up at him, she immersed herself in the textbook again. It was also this action that made Wang Dong return to his senses. He shook his head. The past was already in the past. He had to think about the future carefully now. Wang Dong found a seat in the back and sat down. He supported his chin with his left hand and fell into deep thought again. Since it was the still initiation phase for the new students, the pre-test and class president selection were to be held in the few days before the school started. Wang Dong didn¡¯t have to worry about the former. After all, he could always think of some way to pass the exam. The latter was more problematic. Although the position of class president was not big, it would become an important stepping stone in the future. Many school resources and connections depended on this position. If he could be elected, there would definitely be many opportunities! But Wang Dong knew himself. In his previous life, when school started, both his performance and his social skills weren¡¯t good enough. Even if he wanted to run for class president, no one would support him. He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. He casually picked up the thermos and drank a few mouthfuls. He finally calmed down. Then, he looked at Song Junyao¡¯s figure. If he didn¡¯t remember wrongly, Song Junyao was the class president in his previous life. She had won the favor of others simply because of her outstanding appearance. He glanced at the surrounding people, and they also looked at Song Junyao from time to time. It was just like in his previous life. As expected, the class president was still Song Junyao! Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios If Wang Dong wanted to compete for the position of class president, he had to first convince those boys. Otherwise, it would probably incur public anger. Then what should he do? He subconsciously rubbed his fingers. This was a small habit that stuck with him since his previous life. This happened every time he entered a thinking state. Was he supposed to get Song Junyao to give up the position to him? This way, not only could he officially become the class president, but the boys would also have no complaints. After all, it would be the other party¡¯s decision. Then, what should he do to make Song Junyao give up willingly? He blinked his dry eyes, and the same interface appeared in midair again. [Name: Song Junyao] [Profession: Student] [Looks: 90 points] [Status: Currently seeing someone] [Weakness: Admire those that are better than her academically] [Cheating Rate: 40%] There was a lot of information. And now, his attention was all on her status. His eyes were filled with confusion. When did the class beauty have a boyfriend? Why didn¡¯t he know? Weren¡¯t they all single in his previous life? Could it be that he simply never knew about it, or that it had a butterfly effect because he had been reborn? If it was the butterfly effect, he could only pray that there weren¡¯t many changes. He turned his gaze back to the weakness. Did she really admire those better than her? He felt that it was somewhat normal. After all, otherwise, one wouldn¡¯t be able to suppress Song Junyao¡¯s arrogant personality. Speaking of which, what use was this weakness? The system¡¯s cold voice sounded in his ear. ¡°If the host develops a plan according to the weakness, the cheating rate can usually be raised to 80%.¡± ¡°Even if the other party has a partner?¡± Wang Dong asked in his mind. ¡°Yes.¡± Did this mean that the system wanted him to seduce Song Junyao? He scratched his head. This was a famous beauty in the university. How could she be easy to seduce? He supported his chin and glanced at the scenery outside the window. A cold wind blew in and he let out a breath. Why did he have to encounter such a system? Could it be that he looked like he was very good at picking up girls? Just as he was puzzled, the boy with the buzz cut sat beside him and said naturally, ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve been looking at the class beauty for a while. Did you fall in love with her at first sight?¡± As he spoke, he smiled. The person continued, ¡°Let me tell you, I¡¯m sure that a large number of people here have fallen for the class beauty. She has a power that makes you unable to look away. Do you feel it too?¡± Wang Dong suddenly narrowed his eyes. What power? Wasn¡¯t this person exaggerating too much? To him, money was power. So what if she was beautiful? He needed to make money! ¡°Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible. Even if you want to earn money, you have to stay alive first, right?¡± The system words dealt a heavy blow to Wang Dong. If the system hadn¡¯t threatened him with his life, Wang Dong wouldn¡¯t have needed to think of a solution. Compared to this, it was still easier for Wang Dong to earn money. ¡°Host, you¡¯re a businessman full of the stench of copper. How can money be compared to beauties? After all, some beauties are to die for. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± The system tried to correct Wang Dong¡¯s attitude. Unfortunately, he only desired money. ¡°I¡¯ll thank you for your evaluation of me first. However, I have to disagree. Beauties can¡¯t be compared to money. With money, I can obtain everything. By then, why would I still care about beauties?¡± The system was at a loss of words. It felt tired of being assigned to a host who only has eyes for money. Wang Dong, on the other hand, felt that he had won back a victory. A pleased look quickly flashed across his eyes. He turned to look at the boy with the buzz cut and said, ¡°Would you believe me if I said I¡¯m not interested in the class beauty?¡± The buzz cut boy was first stunned. Then, as if he had heard a joke, he covered his stomach and said, ¡°Hahahaha! Are you kidding me? Who wouldn¡¯t like a class beauty who¡¯s so pretty?¡± However, Wang Dong was an exception. After all, money was much more useful. Wang Dong wanted to roll his eyes. However, it wasn¡¯t like he couldn¡¯t understand the other party¡¯s thoughts. In his previous life, just a few days after school started, a rich student from another class offered Song Junyao fresh flowers. On that day, this rich student confessed affectionately as he stood by the classroom door, ¡°Miss Song, ever since I saw you, I¡¯ve been dreaming about you. ¡°After several days of careful consideration, I finally decided to express my feelings to you. Please accept me, Little Song¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Song Junyao had already decided to leave. The rich student hurriedly pulled her hand and said, ¡°I really like you. After meeting you, I realized what it means to be tempted. As long as you agree, I¡¯ll buy you anything. You¡­¡± ¡°Let go.¡± Song Junyao said coldly. Seeing that she was rejecting him, the rich student said unhappily, ¡°What do you not like about me? You have to give me a reason to refuse, right?¡± She pulled back her right hand and said, ¡°Your name.¡± The rich student was delighted. He thought that his chance had come, so he said, ¡°Zhang Junhao.¡± ¡°What score did you get for the pre-test?¡± The baffling question caught him off guard. He replied in a daze, ¡°I barely passed.¡± Song Junyao showed a disdainful expression. ¡°Do you think everything will be fine just because you got it? It hasn¡¯t been long, and you¡¯ve already forgotten all the knowledge in the textbooks. ¡°Your grades are so lousy. Why don¡¯t you focus your thoughts on studying instead?¡± The rich student explained, ¡°But it¡¯s not just me. The others didn¡¯t do so well either¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t count me in. If your grades are so bad, don¡¯t even think about romance. How childish! Everyone says that the finance department is difficult to get into in Lin Liu, but I think that¡¯s not the case.¡± After saying that, Song Junyao entered the classroom without looking back. Wang Dong only knew this because he was watching the show at the side. That was also the day he found out that the aloof class beauty could be so mean. ¡°Bro, I think you should forget about it. The class beauty¡¯s boyfriend is in our class.¡± Wang Dong returned to his senses and asked in confusion, ¡°You know who it is?¡± The buzz cut boy pointed at the delicate-looking person behind Song Junyao and said, ¡°There, it¡¯s him. I remember his name seems to be Xiang Dongyu. He entered with the second place result, but he¡¯s only two points lower than the class beauty. I heard that these two people are top students in high school. ¡°They even chose to attend the same university together. They¡¯ve been in the same class for several years and their relationship is probably very deep. But since the class beauty is quite cold, their love also seems to be sort of platonic. Well, they¡¯re still very impressive. They¡¯ve only just arrived at our school and they¡¯re already famous figures. ¡°By the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I¡¯m Liang Zongguang.. Brother, what about you?¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Wang Dong.¡± He originally didn¡¯t want to shake hands, but Liang Zongguang extended his right hand warmly. As the saying went, one shouldn¡¯t hit a smiling person. Thus, Wang Dong helplessly stretched out his hand as well. The two of them shook hands for half a second before separating. It looked like he had to find another way to deal with Song Junyao and successfully become the class president. At the moment, he could only depend on his results. If he did well, then the plan would definitely be very smooth. However, his problem right now was that he had left school for many years. It was already difficult for him to pass, let alone surpass the current first place! This system was really making things difficult for him, right? Before he could complain, the system spoke first. ¡°In order to reduce the starting difficulty of the host, the system will automatically give you a newbie gift package. Please remember to accept it.¡± ¡°What¡¯s in the System Gift Bag?¡± Wang Dong suppressed his excitement and asked. ¡°50 points.¡± Points? He said suspiciously, ¡°What use do I have for these points?¡± ¡°They can be used to exchange for learning capsules. As long as you eat it, your learning can increase greatly. Do you wish to exchange right now, host?¡± The help Wang Dong needed arrived just in time. ¡°Yes, of course I want it!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve successfully exchanged it for you. Please check and accept it.¡± Wang Dong suddenly felt that there was something in his pocket. The moment he took it out, he noticed that it was a white capsule. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Very good, he wouldn¡¯t call the system trash anymore. With this in hand, why would he still need to be afraid? At the side, Liang Zongguang was still looking at Song Junyao¡¯s back and saying, ¡°To be honest, I didn¡¯t expect such a beautiful girl to come to our finance department. Coming to Lin Liu University is the smartest choice I¡¯ve made in my life¡­¡± ¡°The exam is tomorrow. Are you prepared?¡± Wang Dong never expected this person to be so talkative. Seeing that he wanted to continue, he hurriedly interrupted. Liang Zongguang was stunned. ¡°No, but I think it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for me to pass. Why?¡± ¡°I want to pull Song Junyao down from first place.¡± For some reason, Wang Dong felt an indescribable heroic ambition. He had already lived such a bitter life, so why would he be afraid of studying? ¡°Brother, I didn¡¯t know that you had such high aspirations. If you can become number one, I don¡¯t mind treating you to a meal.¡± Liang Zongguang didn¡¯t dampen his enthusiasm, but encouraged him instead. He looked at Wang Dong¡¯s confident expression and started to think that it might really be possible. The next day. The first test was the math test. The person who made the test was¡­ Lu Weiming! Just this name alone was enough to make the new students tremble. After all, even outside the university, he was known for making things difficult for his students. In his previous life, Wang Dong almost failed. The reason was that the questions were too difficult. Liang Zongguang walked into the classroom and sat beside him with a happy expression. He said, ¡°I¡¯ve asked the seniors about the difficulty of the questions Lu Weiming set this time.¡± Was this person omniscient? How did he know about so much news? Although Wang Dong had his previous life¡¯s memories, he didn¡¯t have much interaction with Lu Weiming before. Thus, he wasn¡¯t very clear. Liang Zongguang¡¯s voice was much lower. ¡°I heard the test was made according to the standards of doctoral students and even the research institute.¡± Wang Dong raised his eyebrows slightly. In his previous life, the test was only slightly harder than ordinary universities. Why was the difficulty so much higher this time? Those good students who didn¡¯t know the difficulty level were still very calm. Or rather, they didn¡¯t take it to heart at all. ¡°It¡¯s probably very difficult to pass this time!¡± Liang Zongguang sighed. After packing his notebook and pen, Wang Dong said, ¡°If you have time to lament the difficulty of the paper, you might as well take this opportunity to study in the library.¡± Then, he left. Liang Zongguang thought about it and realized that it wasn¡¯t unreasonable, so he followed. ¡°Brother, wait for me!¡± Song Junyao also heard what he said just now. Her eyes lit up, and she asked Xiang Dongyu, ¡°Are you going to the library to revise?¡± ¡°We¡¯re already at the top of the class.. It¡¯s just a basic test. We can get high marks just by casually handling it. You don¡¯t have to worry. Only those with poor results will need to revise.¡± Dong Xiangyu said proudly. Song Junyao did not understand why the other party was like this. Ever since her boyfriend entered a university with her, he had completely relaxed. She stood up and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go, I¡¯ll go alone.¡± With that, she left with his book without looking back. Xiang Dongyu seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly followed. ¡°I¡¯ll go too!¡± In the library. Because it was morning, only a few people were sitting in their seats. They were either writing notes or typing on the keyboard. Xiang Dongyu couldn¡¯t read anymore after reading for a while. He only had two reasons for coming here: Firstly, he wanted to accompany his girlfriend. Secondly, he hadn¡¯t had any intimate contact with Song Junyao in the past few years. He wanted to take this opportunity to become more intimate with the other party. For example, he wanted to hold her hand. If their feelings continued to increase, he would also want to kiss her. Perhaps he could even hear Song Junyao smiling and calling him Ah Yu. At the thought of this, a red flush appeared on his face. Ever since he knew Song Junyao, he had never seen her have any other expression, so he often thought that he had dated a robot. However, Song Junyao¡¯s beauty was nothing a robot could compare with. Every time he brought her out, everyone would praise him for finding such a beautiful girlfriend, causing him to become more and more arrogant. His grades weren¡¯t bad, and his family background was pretty good as well. He and Song Junyao were simply a match made in heaven! ¡°Xiang Dongyu? Xiang Dongyu?¡± Song Junyao called his name twice before he reacted and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Although I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking, this is the library. If you don¡¯t want to concentrate on studying, you can go back first. I don¡¯t need you to accompany me.¡± She said indifferently. Xiang Dongyu was a little stunned. ¡°Is this the attitude you should have towards your boyfriend?¡± ¡°Is this the attitude you should have towards learning?¡± Song Junyao asked in return. She glanced at Wang Dong, who was sitting opposite her and studying hard. This was the attitude of a serious student! Looking at Xiang Dongyu¡¯s appearance just now, it was completely different! She could clearly feel that her boyfriend had fallen after attending university. In the past, he had worked hard, but now, he was slacking off! As for Wang Dong, he was flipping through the book and taking notes. He realized that ever since he ate the capsule, his knowledge level had improved greatly, just like the system had said. Liang Zongguang held on for a while before letting himself go. He originally wanted to chat with Wang Dong. However, seeing that the other party was studying so seriously, he couldn¡¯t bear to disturb him. Therefore, he fell asleep while reading. After an unknown period of time, he was woken up by Wang Dong. He rubbed his eyes. ¡°Are you done revising?¡± ¡°The exam is about to start.¡± Only then did Liang Zongguang realize that his surroundings were empty.. He hurriedly got up and ran to the classroom with Wang Dong! Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The two of them finally rushed to the classroom before the bell rang. At this moment, a bespectacled middle-aged man had already been sitting on the chair and waiting for a long time. He seemed to be pointing at something as he said, ¡°Some people probably don¡¯t even know what ¡®class¡¯ means after getting into university, right? How could such relaxed students be Lin Liu¡¯s students?!¡± Naturally, everyone knew that he was talking about Liang Zongguang and Wang Dong who had just entered. The former touched the back of his head with a smile, while the latter was still digesting the knowledge points he had studied in the library previously. ¡°Tsk! I can¡¯t be bothered with you guys.¡± The middle-aged man was Lu Weiming, who was nicknamed the Great Demon King of Lin Liu. He said calmly, ¡°I think you guys have heard of my name. Do you know what Lin Liu represents?¡± Whispers sounded from below. ¡°When did the name Lin Liu represent something? Why didn¡¯t I know? Could it be some school motto?¡± ¡°I think this teacher is probably talking nonsense, right? My sister is a student who just graduated from the previous batch. She has never told me what Lin Liu represents.¡± ¡°Is he showing off to us? I feel like I¡¯ve returned to high school. I¡¯m clearly a university student, but I still have to listen to the teachers nagging about this and that.¡± ¡­ Liang Zongguang muttered softly, ¡°This teacher looks so fierce. Do you know what Lin Liu means?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll know soon enough, right?¡± Wang Dong replied with a smile. Liang Zongguang was shocked. ¡°You¡¯re like a fox now. It feels like you¡¯re plotting against someone.¡± Wang Dong didn¡¯t mind. He had long been used to facing everyone with a smile. Back then, someone even said that he was a smiling tiger. He was kind, but he was so ruthless and decisive. He remembered that in his previous life, Lu Weiming had asked the same question. At that time, he didn¡¯t understand. Only when he entered society did he truly understand what Lu Weiming meant. Lu Weiming was truly a person who really contributed his life to education. Lu Weiming gestured for a pause. For a moment, the classroom was silent. ¡°99.9% of people who graduate from Lin Liu will become employees of famous enterprises. Although the employment rate is very high, do you think you can become that 99.9% with your current attitude?! ¡°Lu Weiming paused and narrowed his eyes. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t wait until graduation. When other companies come to recruit employees, they won¡¯t even look at you. Even if you¡¯re from Lin Liu, they won¡¯t take you in because you¡¯re rotten to the core! ¡°There are thousands of people who pass the entrance exam every year, and those who can enter the finance department are even rarer! You have the expectations of countless people since the moment you entered this school! Why do you think you can get in here?¡± Someone boldly raised his hand and said, ¡°Because we work hard.¡± ¡°Because you work hard?¡± Lu Weiming sneered. ¡°Wrong! There¡¯s never a lack of hardworking people in this world. Some people are even more hardworking than you, but they still didn¡¯t pass. And the reason you can pass is because you relied on luck to squeeze out those people! Do you think it¡¯s easy just to get in here? Wrong! With your lazy attitude, are you worthy of those people who study hard every night and put in so much effort to the point that they get admitted into hospitals?! ¡± ¡°I want you to know there are a lot of hardworking people that want to be in your positions! It¡¯s not just you, there are others!¡± He straightened his back and continued, ¡°Since you¡¯ve come to the best educational institute in the country, you have to have some awareness! I¡¯ll help you find what awareness is!¡± The people below still didn¡¯t take it seriously. ¡°Is he lecturing us with useless self-help content? He¡¯s so loud. My ears are about to break.¡± ¡°When can I take the exam? I¡¯m already hungry. I don¡¯t want to hear this person nag for half a day.¡± ¡°Although it sounds like it makes sense, I have no idea what it¡¯s talking about.¡± ¡­ Lu Weiming didn¡¯t mind. After he distributed the papers, gasps sounded in the classroom. Everyone¡¯s expressions became serious. Did they see wrongly? What kind of strange questions were these? The first line was filled with words and the second line was filled with numbers. Were they expected to solve this? How was the first line at all related to the second line? They clearly knew every word, so why couldn¡¯t they understand them when they were put together. They had encountered a big problem in their lives. For the first time in history, they couldn¡¯t even understand the questions! What should they do? Liang Zongguang subconsciously looked around and didn¡¯t see anyone picking up their pens. Could it be that none of them knew how to solve these questions? He shook his head. Were these students¡¯ heads filled with water? They couldn¡¯t even solve a single question. It was as if they were reading some heavenly book! Song Junyao first frowned, then picked up her pen. She hadn¡¯t seen such a difficult question in a long time. However, she still felt that it was better to give it a try first. After doing the first three questions, she slowed down. Liang Zongguang tried his best to calm down and hypnotize himself. He kept telling himself that it wasn¡¯t difficult at all and that they only seemed to be difficult because he was under too much pressure. When he felt that it was about time, he opened his eyes again. However, the questions were still just as difficult as before. He frowned and couldn¡¯t understand a single question. To be honest, his results were not bad. He was a proper genius in high school class, but he had now encountered the greatest challenge on the path forward. He had no problem solving the questions. But first, he had to understand the questions! The key was that he couldn¡¯t understand it! He looked at Lu Weiming and finally understood why people called him the Great Demon King. Who would know how to solve these questions? Not a single one was simple! In his opinion, even if a student from Tsinghua and Peking University came, they might not necessarily be able to do it. He scratched his head and put down the pen in his hand. He was really defeated. At this moment, there were sobs in the classroom. He looked over and saw several girls crying. Thinking about it, just facing this paper required huge courage. It was very difficult for them to admit that they weren¡¯t that outstanding. Everyone present had been top students since they were young, and most of them had never even gotten second place. How could they be willing to admit that they were actually very lousy? They had never thought that one day, they would actually be despairing from the difficulty of the advanced math test! What was even more despairing was that they couldn¡¯t even understand the examination questions! At this moment, there were only five people who weren¡¯t nervous. The reason why Song Junyao could still remain calm was that her foundation was strong, so she could hold on for a long time. But the questions were getting harder and harder, and cold sweat kept appearing on his forehead. She gripped the pen in her hand tightly. What was going on with these questions? Why were they so difficult? Before school started, in order to better adapt to the classes, she had learned all the knowledge she needed to learn in advance! But now, it was useless! Was she really as outstanding as others said? She pursed her lips tightly and her mentality gradually collapsed. As for Wang Dong, who was sitting in the back, he didn¡¯t notice the changes in his surroundings at all. He was only focused on doing the papers. Soon, he successfully completed the papers without a change in expression. After finishing the questions, he flipped the page! Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lu Weiming looked at the scene in front of him in satisfaction. He had long seen countless people collapse. This was also his usual method, because he knew that the people who got into the finance department were all proud geniuses. If he didn¡¯t do something like this, how could he get these students to behave obediently? What he wanted was to give these self-proclaimed extraordinary students a display of strength! To be able to come here, their learning abilities would definitely be higher than ordinary people. It was the same for their self-esteem. People who were too proud would easily be broken by setbacks when they entered society! As the saying went, the tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind. He wanted them to know that there was never a lack of geniuses in this world, and they shouldn¡¯t think too highly of themselves! He only hoped that they could grow again and again through setbacks. Liang Zongguang, who was sitting beside Wang Dong, originally thought that he was writing nonsense. However, after seeing that he had written for so long, he couldn¡¯t help but doubt in his heart: Could it be that the questions were really very simple? He looked at the paper in his hand again. As expected, no matter how many times he looked at it, he couldn¡¯t understand it. Could it be that his good brother was actually a genius? No way¡­ Liang Zongguang didn¡¯t seem to have seen the name Wang Dong in the top few places on the rankings. So, what exactly was Wang Dong writing? Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Weiming raised his right hand and looked at the time. He smiled and said, ¡°A third of the time has passed. I think most of your papers are still blank, right? At most, you wrote your name and your class.¡± His words were like an arrow had stabbed the hearts of the students below. He paused and continued, ¡°If you really don¡¯t know how to do it, I will allow you to give up the exam. However, for the time being, don¡¯t think about skipping classes! ¡°Of course, if you still dare to skip classes after failing the pre-test, don¡¯t blame me for failing you in the final exam! In addition, those who pass the exam can enter the research center in advance and occupy a reserved seat! ¡± With that said, most people heaved a sigh of relief. As long as they could give up, it was fine. If they continued to stare at this paper, they would be unable to breathe! But when they heard the research center, they still couldn¡¯t help but cry out! ¡°Is it the research center I¡¯m thinking of?!¡± ¡°I heard that everyone inside is a genius! If I can enter there, won¡¯t I not have to worry about my future work?¡± ¡°Although that¡¯s the case, these questions just can¡¯t be answered. Even if the reward was very attractive, they still couldn¡¯t do it.¡± a€| They all handed in their blank papers and left in dejection. Liang Zongguang looked at his paper and did a question. Moreover, he did not write down the process and only wrote the answer. Without a doubt, he must have guessed! He put down the pen and saw that Wang Dong was still writing. He curiously used his 5.0 vision to take a look and instantly widened his eyes in disbelief. Now, his mind was filled with curses! He stood up in shock. Lu Weiming thought that he wanted to copy Wang Dong¡¯s paper and said, ¡°What are you looking at!¡± Liang Zongguang returned to his senses and picked up the papers. When he passed by Wang Dong, he couldn¡¯t help but whisper, ¡°All the best, good brother.¡± He was certain that even the class beauty was not able to write so much! Then, he handed in his paper under Lu Weiming¡¯s suspicious gaze. At this moment, only Song Junyao and Wang Dong were left in the class. Xiang Dongyu had given up early because he couldn¡¯t answer the questions. The students outside started discussing! ¡°Just looking at the questions this time has wasted most of my energy. I couldn¡¯t understand them at all! Does anyone know what the questions mean?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think anyone knows what the questions are about, right? Only Song Junyao, who¡¯s in first place, is still persisting.¡± ¡°I feel like I¡¯m going to have a nightmare when I go back. It¡¯s too painful!¡± ¡°Wait! Apart from the class beauty, there¡¯s still someone else inside!¡± a€| For a moment, everyone looked at the class. Only then did they realize that there was a boy writing in the back row. ¡°Who¡¯s that? Is he posturing?¡± ¡°Wang Dong, I remember that the points he obtained from the assessment placed him at the end of our class rankings. How can someone in the last place be able to answer those questions? After all, even we couldn¡¯t do it. It would be extremely strange if he could do it.¡± ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s trying to attract our attention by staying behind? Does he think he can really impress us?¡± a€| Liang Zongguang stood at the side and didn¡¯t say anything. Only then did he find out that his good brother was in last place. However, he also recalled Wang Dong¡¯s process that he had secretly glanced at not long ago. If he answered the question according to Wang Dong¡¯s line of thought, the answer would be calculated sooner or later. At the same time, he was a little annoyed that he couldn¡¯t think of it sooner! The only thing he was certain of was that Wang Dong¡¯s strength had definitely exceeded their imagination! As for why Wang Dong was placed in the last place, he wondered if it was because a problem occurred during the college entrance examination. Liang Zongguang wished him luck inside his mind. At this moment, Wang Dong finally stopped writing. He looked at the paper filled with answers and felt very comfortable. After eating the learning capsule, he only felt that these questions were a little difficult, not too difficult. If he had not revised before, he might not have been able to write a single answer. When he looked up, he realized that only the teacher and Song Junyao were left in the classroom. Where did everyone go? He glanced at the people at the door that kept sizing him up. Why did they all go out? Lu Weiming raised his hand to look at the time and said, ¡°We¡¯re now halfway through the exam.¡± Even he didn¡¯t expect that the student he thought had a bad attitude would actually stay until now. It was simply unbelievable! Could it be that he had misjudged? However, he rarely misjudged. At first, he thought that only Song Junyao would write it in the end. Because when he came, he had already heard how outstanding Song Junyao was. From the looks of it, she really lived up to her reputation. He seemed to have thought of something and quickly took out a form from under the paper. This was the result of the whole class¡¯s college entrance examination. Lu Weiming didn¡¯t spend much effort to find Wang Dong¡¯s name. He also heard the voices outside and learned that Wang Dong was in the last place, erasing his doubts. Last place. He knew how difficult the paper he came up with was. To be honest, even if those top students from famous universities came, they might not necessarily be able to answer the questions on his paper. Was it really possible for Wang Dong to answer the questions on his paper? The answer was naturally no. It wasn¡¯t that he hadn¡¯t seen impressive students who slipped up during the college entrance examination. It was just that the probability was too low. He had been a teacher for decades, but he had only encountered two students that were like this. Just as he was deep in thought, a paper was handed to him. Then, Wang Dong left the examination hall confidently. The students outside were shocked! Lu Weiming was also shocked! What? He handed in the papers in advance?! Then, he picked up the paper and thought to himself, ¡°It¡¯s full of answers. But it¡¯s probably all nonsense, right?¡± When he focused his gaze, his heart immediately surged! Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios He even answered the most difficult questions?! Lu Weiming clenched the paper. How was this possible? Although mathematics geniuses often appeared in the finance department, geniuses were still rare by nature. Moreover, most of the math geniuses were at the math departments. He had never expected anyone to be able to answer the questions from the start. After all, his questions were intentionally made to be difficult in order to discourage these new students who had just entered the school. He had put in a lot of effort into making these questions! He was certain that even if a doctoral student from the mathematics department came, he might not necessarily be able to solve it, let alone answer all the questions. The last question even involved the seven millennium conjectures and the Riemann hypothesis! That was a question that even he couldn¡¯t solve! As for why he had included this question, it was completely because he had accidentally seen it previously and happened to want to use it to discourage this group of people. How could an undergraduate student answer this question? Was he doing this just to show off? It wasn¡¯t like no one had tried to show off in this way in the past, but they could never get any benefits from doing this! If he didn¡¯t know how to answer them, then he shouldn¡¯t write an answer. Why did he have to try to show off? Couldn¡¯t he obediently hand in a blank paper like those people? The young people nowadays were really restless. Looks like this was the person who stood out this year! He was quite familiar with making an example of someone. He decided that he would expose this student in front of others, saving him the trouble of finding someone else. At the thought of this, he chuckled in his heart. Seeing that he didn¡¯t say anything for a long time, the students outside thought that he was angry. Xiang Dongyu¡¯s raised heart finally hit the ground. It looked like his second place was safe. It was like what he said. If even he couldn¡¯t answer it, how could Wang Dong answer it? Even if he did give an answer, it would be a guess. He didn¡¯t hide his disdain and said, ¡°Some people just want to pretend to be geniuses, but how can a genius be faked? I think some people should recognize their limits as soon as possible! That¡¯s an exam paper that even I can¡¯t answer, let alone a certain loser!¡± The moment that was said, it immediately caused the surrounding people to discuss! ¡°That¡¯s right! Perhaps if he handed in the blank paper like me, the Great Demon King wouldn¡¯t be so angry. As the saying goes, the bird that sticks out is shot at. Looks like the last place is going to be miserable! We can watch the show for free again!¡± ¡°I hate pretentious people the most in my life. Don¡¯t tell me you really think you¡¯re a big shot? I wonder how he¡¯s still able to maintain his calm. I want to see how long you can maintain this calmness! Have you never learned the consequences of posturing?¡± ¡°That¡¯s a question that even the top student, Xiang Dongyu, couldn¡¯t answer. Isn¡¯t this guy trying too hard? Perhaps he didn¡¯t even see the question clearly and just wrote the answer blindly? Look at how angry the teacher is!¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t a place where the weak can posture. This is just going to end up making a fool out of himself. Ridiculous!¡± ¡­ Liang Zongguang tried to explain, but his words were completely covered by the voices of these people. In the end, he could only pat Wang Dong on the shoulder and say, ¡°Brother, I believe you. Don¡¯t take their words to heart. They¡¯re just jealous of you.¡± Although he didn¡¯t know much about the answers on the papers, just a glance at his paper was enough to make him feel that Wang Dong was very impressive! How could Wang Dong not know that the other party was comforting him? He chuckled and said, ¡°Of course I didn¡¯t take it to heart.¡± It was just gossip. After all, he had heard worse words in his previous life. Xiang Dongyu looked at Wang Dong proudly and thought about how Lu Weiming was famous for being strict with academia. Now, with the attitude Wang Dong displayed, he definitely won¡¯t be able to bear the consequences! He was eager to see how the Great Demon King plans to hammer Wang Dong to death! He hated it when someone stole his limelight, especially when it was a weakling! Lu Weiming, who was looking at the papers, was suddenly stunned! His gaze was filled with shock. These answers were written with reason and evidence! None of the answers were written blindly! He actually answered all of them? Not only did it solve it, but he even used the best solution! Perhaps even the standard answer wasn¡¯t as good as this person¡¯s solution. Some of the questions even had several solutions written. It was as if these questions were answered with ease. As for the final big question¡­ He only understood the first few simple steps, but he couldn¡¯t understand the rest. The other party even used functional analysis! How should he put it? He had to admit that this was an answer that even he couldn¡¯t understand. Genius! He was definitely a terrifying genius! At the thought of this, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up. He didn¡¯t expect that after teaching for decades, he would actually encounter such a student! It seemed that God was really watching over him! How was this a slacker? This was clearly a genius among geniuses! He didn¡¯t expect that he would encounter something so unlikely. Had he really gotten lucky? He shouted at the door, ¡°Wang Dong!¡± Wang Dong walked out of the crowd. Lu Weiming¡¯s eyes lit up. Was this his future genius student? He suppressed his excitement and said, ¡°You, come to the office with me!¡± Xiang Dongyu smiled in disdain and said, ¡°How can this pheasant be a phoenix? Not everyone is a genius. Did he really think he could be a genius just by randomly writing a few numbers? ¡°Mathematics is not a simple subject. He probably tried his best to answer it blindly, right? It would be alright if it were an ordinary teacher, but unfortunately, he encountered the Great Demon King who saw through his posturing with a glance! A loser will always be a loser. ¡± He paused and continued, ¡°Great, now he even got called to the office of the Great Demon King to be reprimanded on the first day of school. I wonder how he got into our finance department. How embarrassing!¡± The others also echoed! ¡°He¡¯s getting scolded on the first day of school. If word got out, the other departments would probably laugh at us, right? Why doesn¡¯t this person just hand in a blank paper?¡± ¡°All of this happened because he wanted to show off. If it was Genius Xiang who wrote this much, then we would have been proud. But for him, I feel nothing other than shame!¡± ¡°Everyone has their own fate. Genius Xiang, what you say is not unreasonable!¡± ¡­ Ignoring what they were saying, Wang Dong and Lu Weiming left the classroom one after another and went straight to the end of the corridor. ¡°Wait for me outside the door.¡± After saying that, Lu Weiming walked into the office. Before he could say anything, a red-haired woman raised her head and teased, ¡°How is it? Are there no good seedlings this time? I¡¯ve already said it before. Aren¡¯t you a little too sick to throw doctoral-level questions to undergraduates?¡± She put down the lesson plan in her hand and lay on the chair to drink tea.. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°I¡¯m starting to wonder if you have some sadistic tendencies. Before long, the psychological counseling room will be lined up again. Every year, the students who are crying because of you can line up several times around the field¡­¡± As she spoke, the red-haired woman saw Lu Weiming¡¯s serious expression and realized that something was wrong. She asked, ¡°What happened? Why is your expression like this? Did something bad happen?¡± ¡°Nothing bad happened.¡± Lu Weiming hesitated for a few seconds and handed the paper to her. ¡°You¡¯ll know after you take a look.¡± The red-haired woman was still in a teasing mood at first, but as she read further and further, her expression changed. ¡°Old Lu, you didn¡¯t write this yourself, right?¡± Her gaze glanced at the name on the leftmost column¡ªWang Dong. What did this mean? Could it be that this paper was written by a student? Impossible! She had never heard of a mathematics genius entering the finance department! She looked at Lu Weiming uncertainly. ¡°So¡­¡± Lu Weiming nodded heavily and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, this paper was written by a new student this year.¡± ¡°How can this be?!¡± The red-haired woman looked at the name in surprise again. ¡°If he¡¯s really that impressive, wouldn¡¯t the math department have heard about it long ago and rushed over to snatch him?¡± ¡°Because his college entrance examination results are last in the class.¡± It was also because of this that it didn¡¯t attract their attention. The red-haired woman widened her eyes. ¡°Old Lu, when did you learn to joke? Is this an exam paper written by someone ranked last?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already confirmed it. Wang Dong¡¯s ranking is placed at the end. He¡¯s also the only student who can write all the answers to the questions!¡± Lu Weiming was sure that he wasn¡¯t hallucinating. The two of them looked at each other in disbelief, but this was reality. At this moment, a white-haired elder in casual clothes walked over with a cup of tea. He was Zhuge Ziwei! Not only was he the vice-principal of Lin Liu, but he was also the director of the research center. He was once Lu Weiming¡¯s professor. The students he taught could be said to be geniuses! He could be said to have nurtured a lot of successful students. Although there were many wrinkles on his face, the kind expression in his eyes was very obvious. Coupled with the tea cup in his hand, he looked like an idle old man outside! ¡°What are you guys discussing? Why is it so lively? Are you interested in letting me participate?¡± He said with a smile. Seeing that he was here, Lu Weiming handed the paper in his hand to him. ¡°Professor, you came here at the right time. Take a look!¡± After roughly glancing at it, he was first shocked. Then, the more he looked at it, the more careful he examined it. The solution to this question was indeed exquisite! He couldn¡¯t even think of some of the solutions. His eyes instantly shot out a shocking light. ¡°Interesting!¡± The teacup in his arms fell to the ground with a bang. He grabbed the paper tightly with both hands and said, ¡°Investigate! Investigate this student immediately! I want to know this student¡¯s background!¡± He said excitedly, ¡°Not only are these questions all correct, but some solutions are even better than the reference answers! Especially the final big question!¡± ¡°This is one of the seven major mathematics problems recognized by the American Clay Mathematics Institute, the Riemann hypothesis! This student actually gave a feasible proof method. If this news is released, it will shake the global mathematics world! ¡± ¡°No! The whole world!¡± Zhuge Ziwei saw hope in this paper. His hands trembled as he said, ¡°There¡¯s hope for my Lin Liu University!¡± He seemed to have thought of something and said to Lu Weiming, ¡°This matter must not be leaked!¡± He didn¡¯t want the good seedling that his school had finally produced to be taken away by others just like that! At the thought of this, he looked around sternly and said, ¡°This student will become our secret weapon. Firstly, let¡¯s lock this paper in my safe. Tell the others that it received full marks, but don¡¯t reveal the answers! ¡°Also, don¡¯t tell anyone about the Riemann hypothesis! ¡°We have to recruit this genius into our research center and make him a researcher. He¡¯s born to be a good seedling in mathematics! By the way, I have to get him an assistant!¡± All the teachers were shocked! The few students who had come to watch the show were also stunned! What was going on?! The last place actually became a genius in the mouth of the vice principal? Were they in a dream? Moreover, the researchers at the research center would only specially assign someone an assistant when they reached a certain level. But who was Wang Dong? He was a freshman in the finance department. Now, not only was he recruited by the vice principal, but he was also going to be assigned with an assistant as soon as he entered? Unbelievable! Lu Weiming, who was in the office, also became excited. He said, ¡°Professor, this student is actually a freshman in our finance department! He¡¯s at the door!¡± He looked at the calm Wang Dong and said, ¡°Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come here quickly!¡± Wang Dong raised his eyebrows slightly and walked in. He had never cared about these pleasant reputations. All he cared about was money. Zhuge Zi looked at him excitedly and asked, ¡°Are you willing to enter the research center?¡± ¡°How much can you give me every month?¡± Wang Dong went straight to the point. Zhuge Zi said without hesitation, ¡°If it¡¯s you, I can try to get a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan from the higher-ups. If you succeed in developing something, it¡¯s not impossible to reward millions.¡± The path of academia usually ended up in a dead end. Everyone knew that people in this field were all destined to be poor. It was already good enough that one could maintain his livelihood as the results were often not proportional to one¡¯s efforts. If he developed a big invention, then the results would be good. If he couldn¡¯t, he could only wait to starve. Thirty thousand yuan per month was already a lot for a student. However, Wang Dong was an entrepreneur in his previous life. The money he earned every month was close to ten million yuan. In his opinion, this thirty thousand yuan was probably not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth! He sighed in his heart. It seemed like he didn¡¯t have to think about academia anymore. He should find another way. After all, even after his company was taken away, he still got 50,000 yuan a month from his new job. ¡°Alright, I agree.¡± ¡°Actually, academia is all about passion. Think about it, when you develop something, the whole country and even the world will know your name¡­¡± Zhuge Ziwei thought that he was going to refuse, so he advised. After hearing Wang Dong¡¯s words, he was stunned for a few seconds. ¡°What!? What did you say just now?¡± Did he hear wrongly? The other party agreed? In his previous life, Wang Dong had known that the vice-principal wanted to dabble in academia, but unfortunately, he had no successors. To be honest, he liked Lin Liu University a lot, so he didn¡¯t mind helping the vice-principal. It was all for his love for academia! He smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m willing to enter the research institute, Vice-Principal Zhuge..¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When the bell rang again, Song Junyao heaved a sigh of relief. She had already tried her best to answer everything she could! Although she couldn¡¯t get high marks, her answers should be enough to get her to pass. Because Lu Weiming had left, the red-haired woman took over the role of supervising. Song Junyao handed the paper to her. The red-haired woman nodded. It was written pretty well. She realized that this girl should be someone at the top of the pyramid among his peers. However, that would only be true if she never saw Wang Dong¡¯s paper. She picked up the red pen and wrote on the paper. Song Junyao sat back in her seat, her heart in turmoil. On the other hand, Xiang Dongyu approached her eagerly and said in admiration, ¡°As expected of number one. I¡¯m afraid only you¡¯re the one one who managed to get a few answers correct, right?¡± As expected of his girlfriend. She actually knew how to do such a difficult paper. How embarrassing would that be if others found out. Song Junyao said expressionlessly, ¡°My goal wasn¡¯t to pass. I wanted full marks.¡± Since she was young, when had she not scored full marks for every exam? This exam was a stain in her life. Perhaps to others, it was worth showing off, but she was still not satisfied! She had to become stronger! Xiang Dongyu, however, didn¡¯t understand what she was thinking at all. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t be too hard on yourself. You¡¯re already better than many people. I¡¯m afraid that even if those doctoral students came, they might not necessarily pass.¡± She suddenly felt that her boyfriend didn¡¯t seem to be the same kind of person as her? She wasn¡¯t too hard on herself. She simply had a strong desire for getting full marks. ¡°I¡¯ll get full marks next time!¡± The two of them had different thoughts from the start. After they talked for a while, the people in the class gradually returned to their seats. Liang Zongguang hummed happily. Initially, when Lu Weiming called his brother to his office, the nerves in his brain also tensed up. Only when he saw with his own eyes how the vice-principal treated Wang Dong like a treasure did he relax! His good brother was indeed a genius! He was someone that even Song Junyao couldn¡¯t compare to! Before long, Lu Weiming walked in with a beaming smile. He announced loudly, ¡°Wang Dong, full marks! He will directly enter the research center!¡± The entire venue was in an uproar! Apart from the few busybodies from before who knew the truth, everyone was shocked! They wanted to tell everyone the truth, but because the vice-principal told them to keep quiet and even threatened them with expulsion, this led to them having constipated expressions. Xiang Dongyu found it the hardest to accept this reality. He suddenly slammed the table and stood up, saying unhappily, ¡°Teacher, are you sure? Wang Dong is ranked last in our class! How can someone like that get full marks?¡± After all, if the last place could do it, why couldn¡¯t he? He was ranked second! How could a mere last place suppress him? There must be something wrong! The others nodded in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s right! No matter how ridiculous this is, there should be a limit, right? This might as well make me believe that Earth will perish!¡± ¡°You have to know that Genius Xiang was ranked as the second place for the entrance examination. Shouldn¡¯t Genius Xiang be the one who got full marks?¡± ¡°Yeah, did the Great Demon King make a mistake?¡± ¡­ Lu Weiming gestured for a pause and said, ¡°Let me remind you! You shouldn¡¯t use the college entrance examination results as a standard to judge people. The truth is that Wang Dong scored full marks! Moreover, he will become a specially hired researcher at the research center!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe it! How can he get such a high score?! I want to see his paper!¡± Xiang Dongyu made his request. Lu Weiming looked at him and said, ¡°The papers have been put away. Why? Are you questioning my decision?¡± He said indignantly, ¡°This is unbelievable!¡± ¡°It¡¯s useless even if you don¡¯t want to believe it. This is the truth! If you don¡¯t have any other questions, sit down.¡± Lu Weiming hated people who didn¡¯t know what was good for them, especially those who handed in blank papers for the final exam! Xiang Dongyu naturally heard the threat in his words. After a cold snort, he sat back down. Liang Zongguang said in a low voice, ¡°Brother, when did you provoke Dongyu? Why do I feel that he¡¯s targeting you? His high and mighty attitude is really annoying!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never even spoken to him.¡± Wang Dong also felt that it was strange, but he didn¡¯t take it to heart. A rare change appeared in Song Junyao¡¯s stagnant eyes. She didn¡¯t expect someone in the class to really get full marks. She looked at Wang Dong behind her in admiration. After all, the other party had gotten into the research center! How many students dreamed of going to that place?! He wasn¡¯t a substitute, but hired as a researcher! Ordinary researchers would only go in after meeting the conditions. Only Wang Dong was invited by the higher-ups! Could this person be a hidden genius? She clenched her fists and glanced at her jealous boyfriend. She couldn¡¯t help but compare the two of them again. It was really the difference between heaven and earth! Why did she agree to Xiang Dongyu¡¯s dating request back then? Lu Weiming continued, ¡°In fact, there¡¯s also a position of assistant. This decision will be completely up to Wang Dong. However, there is one simple condition. The assistant needs to pass the pre-test!¡± He picked up the paper that the red-haired woman had marked earlier and said, ¡°According to what I know, aside from Wang Dong, only Student Song Junyao passed in your class, right? Since you have this chance, you should give it a try!¡± He still thought highly of Song Junyao. For a moment, the people below were a little envious! This was a good opportunity for her to come into close contact with geniuses! ¡°Who said that studying is useless? Look at the benefits! I really don¡¯t know who to envy if the class beauty ends up working with Wang Dong. Previously, we were only discussing Wang Dong¡¯s scores. However, when I looked at him just now, I realized that Wang Dong is actually quite handsome.¡± ¡°He¡¯s better looking than Genius Xiang. Speaking of which, I heard from my senior that there have been handsome men in the sports school since ancient times. I think our finance department isn¡¯t bad either. I was actually stunned by Wang Dong¡¯s face from the start. He¡¯s really handsome. It¡¯s not too much to call him handsome!¡± ¡°The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman¡­ Speaking of which, that¡¯s not called working together. It¡¯s the class beauty helping Wang Dong. Wang Dong isn¡¯t bad either. It¡¯s inevitable that they¡¯ll be attracted to each other.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! They¡¯ll probably have a lot of chances to interact in the future. If I got to work with the class beauty, I definitely won¡¯t be able to help but feel restless.¡± ¡­ These words fell into Xiang Dongyu¡¯s ears. He was really angry! At this moment, the more he looked at Wang Dong, the more annoyed he became. Why was it Wang Dong and not him? Wang Dong had only gotten lucky and got those questions right. On the other hand, he had been admired by everyone around him since he was young. When had he ever suffered such humiliation! Wang Dong! He glared fiercely at Wang Dong, who looked at him strangely, but quickly shifted his gaze.. Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Was this person crazy? Why did he look at him with an unfriendly gaze every time? Wang Dong spat out a single word. ¡°Crazy.¡± After class. Xiang Dongyu ran to Song Junyao¡¯s side anxiously and said, ¡°What¡¯s so good about helping others? I don¡¯t think that you¡¯ll be able to learn anything useful. You might as well make time to read books. What do you think?¡± ¡°This is a rare opportunity. It¡¯s fine even if I¡¯m just an assistant.¡± Song Junyao said calmly. Xiang Dongyu hurriedly said, ¡°This isn¡¯t the only opportunity. You¡¯re so outstanding. I¡¯m afraid that before long, more opportunities will appear?¡± He didn¡¯t want Song Junyao to be involved with Wang Dong. Those people said that these two were very compatible, but he didn¡¯t think so at all! Of course, only he was worthy of such an outstanding woman! Who the hell was Wang Dong? He suppressed his impatience and said, ¡°Listen to me once. I¡¯m sure everything will be fine.¡± Song Junyao looked at him steadily and said, ¡°But do you know how long I have to wait if I miss this opportunity? Will you only think of yourself in your heart forever? ¡°I¡¯ve already listened to you once in high school. I¡¯ve said it before, there won¡¯t be a second time. I don¡¯t want to do something that I¡¯ll regret. You can¡¯t stop me. ¡± She planned to study abroad in her third year of high school. At that time, her family had also paved the way for her. However, at that time, Xiang Dongyu also said something similar. For him, she ultimately chose to stay. But what did she get in return? All she got back was the degeneration of Xiang Dongyu in his university days! Song Junyao no longer cared if she regretted giving up studying abroad at that time. She only knew that if she didn¡¯t become Wang Dong¡¯s assistant now, she would definitely regret it. At the thought of this, she directly left her boyfriend and walked towards the research center! At the research center. Wang Dong looked at the long line. Most of the people in it were seniors. Among his peers, Song Junyao was probably the only one who passed! There were also many geniuses who had been on television. He sighed. According to the system¡¯s suggestion, his best strategy would be to choose Song Junyao as his target. However, why wasn¡¯t she here yet? Could it be that she was entangled by Xiang Dongyu? He retracted his gaze and looked at the question in his hand. Forget it, he should wait while solving the question. The draft papers in the research center were all especially long. In order to save time, he picked up the pen and started the brainstorm. Song Junyao hurriedly came over. She turned the door handle and saw Wang Dong looking down seriously. White skin, a well-defined side profile, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a slight smile entered her eyes. He didn¡¯t look like he was writing a mathematics question. Instead, he looked like he was looking at his beloved lover. She had to admit that the people in the class were right. Wang Dong was handsome, and his every move seemed to have some kind of noble aura! Her eyes were filled with admiration. This was the appearance of a future scientist! Compared to Xiang Dongyu, who was complacent just because he had obtained some good results, this kind of person was her ideal type! She began to wonder why a degenerate man like Xiang Dongyu could receive so much praise. In the examination hall, Wang Dong himself sat there and finished writing the entire paper without a word. He didn¡¯t even brag about his accomplishments. Was this the difference between people? To be honest, she didn¡¯t like ostentatious people, and it just so happened that Xiang Dongyu had become the person she hated the most. ¡°I¡¯ve observed that Song Junyao¡¯s impression of you is increasing continuously, and her cheating rate is also gradually increasing!¡± The system¡¯s cold voice entered Wang Dong¡¯s ears. His hand only paused for half a second before he continued writing his solution. Song Junyao didn¡¯t want to disturb him, so she quietly found a seat and sat down. In fact, it wasn¡¯t wrong to say that she was a class beauty. She was born with an oval face, a tall and perky nose, and pink lips that added a lot of girlish aura to her. The coldness in her eyes made her look like a high and mighty fairy from the nine heavens. Her usually calm phoenix eyes were clear and bright, as if she had seen something interesting. A white dress showed off her curvaceous figure vividly. The ribbon at her waist revealed her slender waist. Her straight back made her more tenacious, as if nothing could defeat her. She sat elegantly in her seat, looking like a painting. Even if the background was a trash pile, it probably couldn¡¯t affect her beauty at all. She looked at Wang Dong and felt more and more satisfied. If this person was her boyfriend, she probably wouldn¡¯t have to worry about running out of things to talk about, right? She recalled how Xiang Dongyu clumsily tried to find a topic to talk about. If he didn¡¯t know how to talk, then he should keep quiet. In the end, Xiang Dongyu seemed to be unable to take a hint and kept annoying her. He said that women couldn¡¯t be stronger than men, and that she should listen to him as his girlfriend. This all made Song Junyao feel that her boyfriend was bigoted. After all, it was already the 21th century and yet he was still acting like this. How strange. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Xiang Dongyu spent so much effort to apologize every time, their relationship would have long crumbled. After an unknown period of time, Wang Dong stopped writing. He pressed his temples and drank a few mouthfuls of water in exhaustion. When he opened his eyes, he saw Song Junyao¡¯s constantly increasing cheating rate! At this moment, he really hoped that he wasn¡¯t calculating mathematics problems but how much money he had made. He decided that after his mission ended, he had to concentrate on opening a big company and earn money every day! This was his true goal! However, he still had to follow the system¡¯s footsteps. It was only at this moment that Wang Dong seemed to notice that there was someone here. He said, ¡°Song Junyao? Why are you here?¡± Song Junyao also returned to her senses. She grabbed the edge of her skirt and said, ¡°I hope to be your assistant. I can do anything!¡± This was her chance, she had to seize it! ¡°You probably saw it too, right? There are many people who want to become my assistant. Do you think you have any advantage over them?¡± Wang Dong skillfully asked the question. One had to know that in his previous life, when he didn¡¯t have the money to hire HR, he was the one who personally went for the interview. Therefore, he was quite skillful with this process. Song Junyao said confidently, ¡°I believe I can do the job better than them!¡± He looked at her for a while, just as she was feeling nervous. Wang Dong said helplessly, ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll give you some examples. Yi Huabin, who just came to interview my assistant, is a double degree doctoral student. He¡¯s basically free in the morning and can come three days a week.¡± ¡°Tao Jingshu, a student from Harvard. She¡¯s proficient in Chinese, French, English, and Japanese. She is free four afternoons a week.¡± ¡°Lou Zixiang used to be an assistant at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. She can come from nine in the morning to six at night for five days a week.¡± He paused and continued, ¡°All of them have excellent results, so there¡¯s no need for me to say any more.. Which one of them do you think you can compare to?¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Although the system wanted him to find a chance to get close to Song Junyao, he still wasn¡¯t willing to lower his requirements just to complete the mission. No matter what, he couldn¡¯t find trouble for himself by hiring an unqualified assistant. If she didn¡¯t know how to do anything, what did he want an assistant for? He wanted people with outstanding abilities who could cooperate with him! He knew that Song Junyao was very capable, but she still had a boyfriend. As someone with a boyfriend, was she supposed to reject dates and leave Xiang Dongyu aside just to work on the projects? Was that possible? After hearing this, how could Song Junyao not know that the other party was tactfully rejecting her? She was no longer as calm as before. A second expression finally appeared on her face. She frowned and said, ¡°I can come at night too! I can come at dawn too! I can come seven days a week. No matter what you want me to do, I can do it!¡± She said with a determined gaze, a trace of pleading and hope flashing through her eyes. Wang Dong captured her emotions without leaving a trace and couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart. So the so-called goddess also had a heart? If others knew about Song Junyao¡¯s current reaction, they would probably be shocked! The coldness from before was completely gone. At this moment, he saw that Song Junyao¡¯s cheating rate had reached the highest record! [Name: Song Junyao] [Profession: Student] [Looks: 90 points] [Status: Currently seeing someone] [Weakness: Admire those that are better than her academically] [Cheating Rate: 99%] It looked like she was really determined to become his assistant. As expected of Song Junyao. She was flexible. She was destined to be able to accomplish big things. There was some admiration in his gaze. Then, he pointed downstairs outside and said, ¡°Even if you¡¯re willing, isn¡¯t there still someone who¡¯s not willing?¡± Song Junyao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She looked in the direction and saw Xiang Dongyu standing anxiously under the building, constantly calling the same number with his cell phone. She took out her cell phone and dozens of calls popped up. These were all from Dongyu. Because she had muted her phone previously, she didn¡¯t hear anything. ¡°If I remember correctly, he¡¯s your boyfriend, right?¡± Wang Dong touched his chin. He had always believed that life was easier without a romantic partner. As long as he remained single, he could earn more and more money. Similarly, he could use it in scientific research. As long as he didn¡¯t have any worldly concerns, wouldn¡¯t he be able to quickly produce results? Would Song Junyao choose her boyfriend or scientific research? She still had to deal with this matter herself. He could only be a bystander. Song Junyao clenched her fists. Did he reject her because she had a boyfriend? She looked at Xiang Dongyu, who tried to enter the research center but was chased out again and again. She turned around and seemed to have made a decision. She said, ¡°Please wait for me for a moment. I¡¯ll deal with it right away!¡± She left without looking back. Wang Dong smiled at her back. There was going to be a good show. When Xiang Dongyu saw Song Junyao, he hurriedly went forward. Before he could say anything, Song Junyao returned to her previous expressionless face and said, ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯m here for you!¡± Because he was in a panic, he didn¡¯t notice the change in his girlfriend¡¯s mood. He said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you answer my call? There are still security guards here. I can¡¯t even get you to come downstairs.¡± Song Junyao looked at him coldly. It was a sharp contrast to her desperate behavior in front of Wang Dong. ¡°What do you want me to say?¡± Xiang Dongyu knew that no matter what he did, Song Junyao would always have this expression, so he said, ¡°You¡¯re only wasting time here. You might as well go to the library to study. What do you think? There¡¯s no one there either.¡± It would have been better if he didn¡¯t talk about the library. Once he mentioned the library, Song Junyao recalled Xiang Dongyu¡¯s performance there the last time. ¡°I see that you¡¯re not interested in learning at all. Then why are you still pushing your limit?¡± She didn¡¯t want to force people to learn. If they didn¡¯t want to learn, they could go play. Xiang Dongyu also realized that something was wrong when he saw her like this. ¡°What do you mean? Did the loser say something to you?¡± Loser? Song Junyao hated this nickname. If Wang Dong was the loser, then what was she, who only just passed? Only then did she reevaluate her boyfriend. Why did he always have a high and mighty expression no matter what he did? ¡°It¡¯s not that he said anything to me. I noticed by myself that you weren¡¯t revising properly last time!¡± Xiang Dongyu stubbornly said, ¡°I studied hard. You just didn¡¯t see¡­¡± ¡°If you study hard, why did you still hand in a blank paper?¡± Song Junyao interrupted his excuse impatiently. She thought that no matter how difficult the questions were, Xiang Dongyu could at least do some, but what happened? He handed in a blank paper. How disappointing! Was she really blind to fancy such a person? Xiang Dongyu was speechless. His eyes rolled as if he had thought of something. He said, ¡°Wasn¡¯t¡­ wasn¡¯t the test too difficult? It¡¯s really sick! ¡°After all, even a teacher can¡¯t do it, let alone pass. Moreover, the reason why I¡¯m not studying seriously is because I want to get close to you!¡± ¡± He put on a look that said ¡°I¡¯m doing this for your own good¡± and continued, ¡°We¡¯ve been dating for so many years. As a couple, we¡¯ve never even held hands! Who knows what other people would think if they found out about this. How can I not be anxious?¡± How did he know that Song Junyao would be so cold? Song Junyao revealed a disappointed expression. Why was this person thinking about useless stuff all day? ¡°I thought that we were all thinking about studying, but I didn¡¯t expect that I overestimated you! You scored zero this time, right? Why don¡¯t you feel any guilt? Your grades are so bad, stop thinking about those things all day!¡± She paused and said with a red face, ¡°If Wang Dong can get full marks, why can¡¯t you?¡± ¡°So you want to be his assistant?¡± Xiang Dongyu was suspicious. Song Junyao nodded. ¡°Then how will you arrange the working hours?¡± ¡°Of course I will be available for 24 hours from Monday to Sunday!¡± She did not allocate any time for Xiang Dongyu at all. He said angrily, ¡°What about me?! Did you freaking fall for Wang Dong? I knew you had a good impression of experts, but I didn¡¯t expect you to actually fall for that loser?¡± I was wondering why there were only the two of you left in the class at that time! So you guys agreed on it beforehand. You¡¯re my woman, how can you go around seducing others?! And to think that everyone thought you were a cold person. I think you¡¯re promiscuous! You set your sights on other guys even though you already have a boyfriend. Shameless! ¡± Song Junyao looked at her furious boyfriend and her heart turned completely cold. She just wanted to be Wang Dong¡¯s assistant. How did she become the bad woman Xiang Dongyu described? Seeing Xiang Dongyu humiliate her like this, she directly slapped him! Then, she said coldly, ¡°Let¡¯s break up, Xiang Dongyu.¡± Cheating rate: 100%! Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ed¡±Song Junyao¡¯s cheating rate has already reached 100%. The host has successfully seduced a member of the opposite sex in seven days. The host is rewarded with 50 points. The system will officially open the mall. You can use points to exchange for items.¡± The system¡¯s cold voice sounded again. When Wang Dong looked again, something appeared on the system interface. [Name: Wang Dong] [Points: 50 (Can be obtained to exchange points for tools)] [Current tools: pinhole camera, night vision device, master key, anesthetic¡­] [Tool Store / Ability Store: Activated] ¡°Why are there two stores?¡± The system answered, ¡°The tool is an additional item. The ability is directly tied to the host.¡± From the looks of it, the ability store was still more worth looking forward to. Wang Dong seemed to have thought of something else and said, ¡°Then, is there a pill that can allow you to not sleep for days without any problem?¡± ¡°Yes, but when the host¡¯s body reaches its limit, the host will automatically fall asleep.¡± He felt that this was very good. In his previous life, when he started his business, he only slept two to three hours a day. He was also very tired and could only drink coffee continuously. If he had this, he would have saved the money to buy coffee. ¡°Then can I exchange for money in the tool store? Money is also considered a tool, right?¡± The system only felt mentally exhausted. Why would it have a host who was always talking about money? ¡°Host, you sure are a witty one.¡± Wang Dong continued, ¡°I¡¯ve always known that I¡¯m pretty witty, so is it possible?¡± ¡°¡­No, you can think about it.¡± The system rejected him mercilessly. He pressed, ¡°Why not?¡± ¡°Host, this system is a guide system. It¡¯s romance-focused.¡± The system said openly. Wang Dong clicked his tongue and thought to himself, He was also strange. What exactly was the system¡¯s criteria for choosing a host? What was the point of a life without money? ¡°What can I exchange with my current points? screen them all for me.¡± The system silently changed the personal information on the system interface to the store. However, 50 points couldn¡¯t be exchanged for too much, so the tool store and the ability store took up half of the page. Wang Dong swept his gaze across them. The tools were all things like [sleeping pills], [sharp little knives], [tranquilizer], and so on. As for the abilities, they were of all kinds. His gaze finally stopped at the bottom right corner, where it happened to be [Literary Talent Capsule]. There were also words under it: free top 100 bestselling novel. This made him immediately think of copying the novel. When he was revising in the library previously, he realized that this world he was reborn into was still different from his previous life. For example, the novels that became popular in his previous life didn¡¯t exist in this world! Perhaps he could make a killing. ¡°System, I want to exchange for [Soul Bewitching Fragrance] and [Literary Talent Capsule].¡± The Soul Bewitching Fragrance could temporarily make the other party lose consciousness for ten hours. After waking up, the other party would also forget everything that had happened previously. This was very suitable for what he was about to do. The love between the young couple downstairs also came to an end. After being slapped, Xiang Dongyu finally regained his rationality. He begged, ¡°I know I was wrong. Don¡¯t break up with me. I was just angry. I was just afraid that you would leave me.¡± Song Junyao¡¯s heart had long turned cold. Her eyes were filled with disappointment. ¡°At this point, you¡¯re actually still finding excuses for yourself? I really misjudged you! Don¡¯t come looking for me again in the future.¡± With that, she entered the research institute without looking back. Xiang Dongyu tried to salvage the situation, but before he could enter, he was stopped by the security guard. ¡°We need proof that the teacher prescribed, or a researcher¡¯s certificate. You have to show proof before I can let you in.¡± He was so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot! Wang Dong! He was determined to make this person his enemy! After returning to the research lab, Song Junyao looked at Wang Dong and said, ¡°Now, I can focus on you. No one will be able to disturb me now. Can I become your assistant?¡± Wang Dong smiled and said, ¡°Of course. That table is the research information you need to organize. Let¡¯s begin.¡± She looked in the direction he pointed. The leftmost table was already filled. She didn¡¯t feel that he was making things difficult for her at all. Instead, she felt that Wang Dong was training her. She perked up and said, ¡°I¡¯ll complete it as soon as possible!¡± Therefore, she sat down, picked up the pen, and started work. Speaking of which, what was the use of having a 100% cheating rate? The system replied, ¡°This also means that the host can win over the target at any time.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s really useless.¡± Why were there so many useless functions? Why didn¡¯t the system understand that money was superior? Forget it, he couldn¡¯t expect a guide system to do anything anyway. The system asked, ¡°Host, can you have some goals?¡± ¡°How can you say that I don¡¯t have goals? I know very well that money is what I want my whole life.¡± Women might betray him, but not money! After all, whatever he could earn was his. As long as he got it, no one could snatch it away. The system was also speechless. This host was really hopeless and beyond saving. Little did the system know that Wang Dong also had the same thought. He glanced at the time. It was about time, so he lit the Soul Bewitching Fragrance indoors. Song Junyao looked up and asked in confusion, ¡°Is it incense?¡± ¡°Yes, it can calm you down.¡± Spirit calming was also one of the effects of the Soul Bewitching Fragrance. Technically, he didn¡¯t lie. She didn¡¯t doubt it and continued working hard. The room was so quiet that only the sound of the clock ticking could be heard. The two of them didn¡¯t disturb each other. After doing the questions for a while, Wang Dong began to conceptualize his startup plan. After an unknown period of time, Song Junyao began to feel more and more sleepy. She tried to wake herself up, but it didn¡¯t work. In the end, she stopped writing and closed her eyes before fainting on the table. ¡°Host, Song Junyao fainted.¡± The system¡¯s voice made Wang Dong recover from his thoughts. He stood up and stretched. When he saw that Song Junyao had already finished most of the documents, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°I suppose this much is expected from Song Junyao.¡± What a pity. He was determined to get the position of class president this time! Then, he placed the information he had just written on his table on Song Junyao¡¯s seat. He wanted her to think that she had fallen asleep because she was too tired from studying. In fact, there was also some unfinished research mixed in. He thought he might as well let Song Junyao help out. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to sleep in the research center until tomorrow.¡± As soon as Wang Dong walked out of the research center, the system asked, ¡°So, are you not doing anything?¡± Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Huh? What do I have to do? Didn¡¯t I do everything I was asked to?¡± He was puzzled. The system couldn¡¯t help but lampoon. ¡°No wonder you¡¯re single.¡± Wang Dong was confused. Was he being discriminated against by the system? ¡°What right do you have to say that about me? Everything I did was only for myself.¡± Wasn¡¯t it normal for businessmen to value profits? The system didn¡¯t reply to him again. It must have been angry with him. The next day. A young woman in a sports suit came to the class and smiled. ¡°Hello, students. I¡¯m your class¡¯s counselor, Wen Qiusheng. If anything comes up, you can call me anytime.¡± Then, she wrote her cell phone number on the blackboard. ¡°School has just started, let¡¯s choose a class president first. You guys just have to write the name of the person you want to vote for on a note. When the time comes, we¡¯ll calculate the votes together.¡± One of the boys below asked, ¡°Can we only choose the people present?¡± Wen Qiusheng looked at them and realized that there was someone missing. He said, ¡°Yes, because the class president still has to go to the student union for a meeting later. Then, please begin.¡± Because the news of Wang Dong getting full marks had already spread throughout the class, most of them chose Wang Dong without hesitation. However, if Song Junyao was also here, it probably wouldn¡¯t be so easy. Liang Zongguang winked and said, ¡°Brother, I think you¡¯re going to be the class president of our class. You¡¯re really lucky. Song Junyao didn¡¯t come today, and I don¡¯t think she went back to her dormitory either.¡± If he knew that Wang Dong was the one who kept Song Junyao from coming here, how would he feel? Wang Dong said with a smile, ¡°She should still be at the research center. I got her to help me do a lot of research yesterday.¡± ¡°Just research?¡± Liang Zongguang asked with a gossipy expression, ¡°You didn¡¯t do anything else?¡± Wang Dong raised his brows. ¡°What else can we do? Isn¡¯t research interesting enough?¡± ¡°Bro, could it be that¡­ you don¡¯t like girls?¡± Liang Zongguang asked hesitantly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t discriminate in this aspect!¡± ¡°You¡¯re overthinking. I just like money more.¡± The moment that was said, Liang Zongguang said in surprise, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve been single your whole life?¡± Wang Dong supported his chin with his left hand and asked, ¡°Is there a problem? Isn¡¯t it good to save money by not dating?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, but¡­¡± Liang Zongguang looked at him with respect. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re also considered impressive in a sense!¡± After saying that, he wrote Wang Dong¡¯s name on the paper. Before long, these notes were collectively put away. Wen Qiusheng casually found someone to count on the blackboard. She looked at the note and said, ¡°Xiang Dongyu.¡± ¡°Xiang Dongyu.¡± ¡°Xiang Dongyu.¡± The three consecutive votes were all from Xiang Dongyu. He looked at Wang Dong with a smug expression. So what if Song Junyao wasn¡¯t around? So what if Wang Dong¡¯s results were good? As long as he was around, the position of class president would definitely be his! Liang Zongguang touched Wang Dong¡¯s arm and said, ¡°This person seems to be an idiot? I think he will only get three votes at most.¡± Wang Dong smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. He didn¡¯t mind Dongyu¡¯s provocation. After all, no one would care about ants. ¡°Wang Dong.¡± ¡°Wang Dong.¡± ¡°Wang Dong.¡± ¡­ The next votes were all Wang Dong¡¯s. This time, Liang Zongguang was right. Dongyu only had three votes. In the end, Wen Qiusheng simply made the student stop counting the votes. ¡°After that, all the votes are for Wang Dong as well. In other words, you want him to be the class president?¡± She had also heard of Wang Dong getting full marks, so she was naturally biased towards him. Who didn¡¯t like outstanding students? However, Xiang Dongyu¡¯s face was so dark that ink almost dripped out. He looked at himself, who only had three votes. Wasn¡¯t this naked mockery?! ¡°Then, does anyone have any objections to Wang Dong being the class president?¡± Wen Qiusheng asked. Xiang Dongyu wanted to object, but he couldn¡¯t find a reason and could only let it go. Everyone was silent. This also meant that everyone agreed. She smiled and said, ¡°In the future, Wang Dong will be our class president. I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± Wang Dong nodded. After class. Wen Qiusheng walked closer to him and he instantly smelled the fragrance of osmanthus. ¡°The class presidents of each class are going to the third floor of the fourth building for a meeting. You should go over now. They probably want to discuss building a student interest club.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Building a student interest club? Wang Dong remembered that these clubs were a big event for the student union every year. This was not only a good opportunity for him to rope in his connections, but the results he made would also receive the attention of the school leaders. It even involved the selection of the student council and the division leaders! There were a total of five divisions of the Student Union. The living division was in charge of dormitory hygiene and so on. The learning division was in charge of learning, examinations, or groups interested in learning. The sports division was in charge of physical training and such. The self-discipline division was in charge of checking the attendance rates of each class. The public relations division was in charge of public communications, getting sponsorships, and organizing school activities. When first-year students joined, they would only become secretaries at most. If their second-year students performed well, they would be promoted to division leaders. In his previous life, he was obsessed with earning money, so he didn¡¯t join any clubs. As for credits, he made up for it in other ways. Now that he had a mission, this meant that he couldn¡¯t slack off anymore. Among the five divisions, the one he needed to go to the most was the public relations division. This was because the public relations division provided both funds and connections. After all, he would need these by the time he graduated. Then, his goal was very clear now! It was to become the division leader of the public relations division! At the same time, the system that had given Wang Dong the silent treatment suddenly said. ¡°Mission: Please seduce the second opposite sex in seven days, no restrictions on the target or the means. I suggest you complete it as soon as possible. If you fail, you will be killed!¡± Seduce women again?! It hadn¡¯t been long since he completed the first mission, had it? Wang Dong asked in his mind as he walked, ¡°Are you using your position to take revenge?¡± ¡°System missions are all random. There¡¯s no sign of using public authority to avenge private wrongs. Moreover, the host can also obtain points after completing the mission. Isn¡¯t this a good thing?¡± He said indifferently, ¡°If I can¡¯t finish it, my life will be gone. No matter how good the points are, what¡¯s the use of losing my life?¡± The system really threatened him with his life just to get him to complete the mission. He suspected that the system had long expected him to slack off, so it used his life to threaten him. The system replied in its electronic voice, ¡°Otherwise, how else can we motivate the host?¡± The system was spot on with its words. This system was actually useful in useless places. Indeed, Wang Dong had been doomed by this system. Why did he have to use his energy on seducing women? In his eyes, money was more enticing. ¡°I¡¯ll demolish you sooner or later!¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At the Student Union. ¡°Have you heard? A first-year student from the finance department obtained full marks under the Great Demon King and then entered the research center as a special researcher. I¡¯m so envious!¡± A woman in a denim jacket said lazily. She was the division leader of the life division. It had to be known that she had thought about getting into the research center day and night. Unfortunately, she couldn¡¯t enter. ¡°I want to start a mathematics club! If I pull that freshman over, my mathematics club will definitely be able to produce results. I heard that the vice principal strongly recommended that freshmen enter the research center.¡± A buzz cut boy pushed his glasses up and said. He was a secretary under the learning department. The short-haired woman at the side said, ¡°The vice-principal got him a deal of 30,000 yuan every month. In the entire research center, I¡¯m afraid only this freshman has this kind of treatment, right? Although 30,000 yuan isn¡¯t a lot, it¡¯s still a large amount for a new student.¡± She was the secretary of the public relations division. Because everyone else had gone to find sponsors, she came over to slack off. The head of the self-discipline department said, ¡°Speaking of which, your public relations division seems to be empty all day. What have you been busy with recently? Aren¡¯t you afraid that the division leader will personally come and drag you back later?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll stay for a while. After that, I¡¯ll leave immediately. Just don¡¯t tell the division leader.¡± Last time, she was taken away because the division leader of the self-discipline division secretly reported to the division leader of the public relations division. The division leader of the self-discipline division continued, ¡°I heard that the boy is pretty good looking. Perhaps if we pull him in, we might even use him as our public figure.¡± ¡­ On the other hand, if Wang Dong wanted to become the division leader of the public relations division, he had to do a beautiful job in building a club! The performance mainly depended on the number of people who joined the club and the results obtained by the club itself. Just the thought of it was already very troublesome. He sighed. In the next second, as soon as he entered the Student Union, the voice inside disappeared instantly. Everyone looked at him. He stood on the spot with a stunned expression. What was going on? Why were they all looking at him? Could it be that there was something on his face? Just as he was hesitating about whether to look in the mirror, the secretary of the learning division rushed forward. ¡°You¡¯re Wang Dong, right?¡± ¡°¡­Yes.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the people who were originally sitting in their seats rushed up. ¡°Wang Dong! Do you want to come to our life division? The food here is good. We can even get the canteen auntie to help us increase the portion! I promise I¡¯ll raise you until you¡¯re white and fat!¡± ¡°Why are you going to the life division? You guys are so boring over there. You still have to check the dormitories every day. Come to our sports department! We have a lot of beautiful girls here, and we¡¯re quite idle. We need talent such as yourself!¡± ¡°Bullsh*t! I¡¯ve never seen any beauties in your division. You¡¯re all a bunch of burly men. Wang Dong! Come to our disciplinary division. We¡¯re all very good-looking here, and we¡¯re suitable for a person like you!¡± ¡°You guys from the self-discipline division have the guts to say that you have good looks? Moreover, what¡¯s the use of having good looks!? Wisdom is everything! Wang Dong is so good at mathematics, why don¡¯t you come to our learning department? A genius like Wang Dong will only be able to shine there!¡± ¡­ This was the first time Wang Dong had received such a warm welcome during his student days. Pairs of urgent gazes stared at him. He took a step back and smiled. ¡°Firstly, I¡¯m very grateful for your invitation, but I¡¯ve already thought of what club I want to join. Sorry.¡± He had already gotten the Literary Talent Capsule, so it was obvious what he would choose. He wanted to build a literature club! Although Lin Liu University¡¯s finance department was very famous, its literature department was not bad either. It was just that the former was more popular. Wang Dong had long heard that the president of the previous literature club was a senior in her fourth year. She had published serial novels in famous magazines in the country. The reaction of her work was also pretty good. However, perhaps because her literary talent was too strong, her mathematics results were terrible. Thus, she had yet to graduate today. At this moment, she had already left the [Windy Hum] literature club and expressed that she wanted to concentrate on composing and no longer cared about the club¡¯s affairs, But clearly the literature club had been heavily influenced by her. The club members especially worshiped this fourth-year senior. Everything they said and did was according to her standards. This legendary senior¡¯s name was Qin Sixia. Why did he know so much? Because in his previous life, he had once seen news about her in the newspaper. She was praised by the media as a ¡®genius writer¡¯. The few novels she had written had become popular all over the city! Only then did he know that this person was his senior. From this, it could be seen that Qin Sixia¡¯s literary talent was not just in name, but in reality. The only disadvantage was that she published too infrequently. It took her several years to write a single short story. This might be a common problem for all writers, right? Later on, he took the time to read Qin Sixia¡¯s novels and understood what it meant to have power in words. He felt that Qin Sixia¡¯s novels hid ancient souls, and the more he read, the more interesting it was. He even had the thought of getting to know this person earlier. Now, wasn¡¯t his chance here? If he wanted to create a literature club, he had to obtain the recognition of most people. The easiest way was for him to deal with Qin Sixia and let this senior stand on his side! Seeing that his heart belonged somewhere else, the secretary of the learning division asked in confusion, ¡°Then which one do you want to choose?¡± Wang Dong said confidently, ¡°I want to establish a literature club!¡± The moment that was said, everyone fell silent! What was going on? Did they hear wrongly? A mathematics genius didn¡¯t want to join a mathematics club, but wanted to switch to literature? Why? They thought that even if he didn¡¯t join the mathematics club, he would find something that was easier. They didn¡¯t expect Wang Dong to choose to switch to literature. It was simply unbelievable! For a long time, no one returned to their senses. Wang Dong looked at them and his smile grew even wider. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± ¡°I, I didn¡¯t hear wrongly, right? You want to create a literature club? Not a mathematics club?¡± The secretary of the learning division stuttered. He really hoped that Wang Dong would say that he had made a mistake. After all, he had never seen anyone who was good in both mathematics and literature. Even if there were, it was impossible for them to appear in front of him! Wang Dong said with certainty, ¡°Literature is very interesting, so I¡¯ve decided to establish a literature club. I came here this time to ask Senior Qin Sixia for help.¡± Everyone was shocked again! The short-haired woman, who was sitting in her seat, quickly recovered. She said with interest, ¡°This guy is really interesting! Don¡¯t you guys think so?¡± She thought that the specially hired researcher would be some nerd or something, but she didn¡¯t expect Wang Dong to have such thoughts. Not only was he handsome, but he was also very bright. Such people were rare.. Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios However, literature? She had never seen anyone who was very good in both literature and mathematics. They were either good at one or the other. It was rare for there to be someone like Wang Dong. The others shook their heads. The head of the self-discipline division said, ¡°I think it¡¯s better to forget it. The difficulty of establishing a literature society is comparable to reaching the sky. Could it be that the geniuses nowadays like to challenge impossible things?¡± ¡°Although Senior admires talented young people, I think she¡¯s not interested in math geniuses.¡± The secretary of the learning division lampooned, ¡°Why don¡¯t you come to our learning division? Senior is really not something that ordinary people can handle. Previously, someone entered with high marks in literature and also wanted to do something with her, but Senior directly rejected her.¡± ¡°In that case, I even feel that she was a little neurotic. The last time I chatted with her, she suddenly became very excited and asked me if I knew what the soul of a book was. At that time, I was still wondering when this world became so surreal?¡± The division leader of the life division said with some frustration. The short-haired woman spread her hands. ¡°As you can see, she¡¯s a person that¡¯s difficult to come into contact with. Even so, do you still want to establish a literature club?¡± No matter how difficult it was, he planned to do it. After all, his life was more important. Wang Dong nodded and said, ¡°I want to establish a literature club.¡± The others advised, ¡°Just because you¡¯re good at mathematics doesn¡¯t mean that your literary level is also very good. You¡¯re still too young.¡± ¡°Yeah! If it¡¯s mathematics, that¡¯s still your forte. However, literature is different. It needs a sensitive side. I remember that men are usually more rational, right?¡± ¡°Why do you have to challenge yourself? There¡¯s not just a wall between mathematics and literature, but a bottomless ravine!¡± ¡­ Wang Dong did not take these questions to heart. Just as he was about to leave on his own¡­ The short-haired woman stood up shakily and walked to his side. ¡°You¡¯re very wrong. As long as Qin Sixia is still in this school, it¡¯s destined that she will be in charge. You had countless paths to take, but you chose the hardest one.¡± ¡°So what?¡± Wang Dong wasn¡¯t fearless because he was ignorant.. Moreover, Wang Dong knew its own ability, which was why he said these words. The short-haired woman was a little surprised at first, but then she chuckled and said, ¡°An impressive junior really appeared in the finance department! My name is Ning Xi. I look forward to meeting you again!¡± After saying this, she left. Wang Dong looked at her figure and fell into deep thought. What he didn¡¯t know was that Song Junyao was standing at the door waiting for him. Ning Xi only glanced at her but didn¡¯t say anything. She just brushed past her. Song Junyao¡¯s beauty attracted the discussion of the entire school on the first day of school. Therefore, as long as she stood here, she could make those people look at her. ¡°Who exactly is this Beauty Song waiting for at the entrance of the Student Union? It¡¯s been a while, right? Can the people inside bear to do this? If she¡¯s waiting for me outside, I¡¯ll definitely quickly finish my work and walk out.¡± ¡°I just saw the genius of the finance department walk in. Are the two of them a pair? Don¡¯t such combinations only appear in novels?¡± ¡°No way? Isn¡¯t this too fast? I heard that that genius accepted Song Junyao as his assistant. Could it be that he got together with Song Junyao in such a short time?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of this matter. I only know that that genius is probably being fought over by the various divisions, right? Those division leaders have been waiting for him for a long time. He won¡¯t come out until a while later.¡± ¡­ Song Junyao originally wanted to talk to Wang Dong about research, but after hearing these words, she couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. As she listened, she almost thought that she was really in love with Wang Dong. She shook her head. She couldn¡¯t think too far ahead. Even if she really liked Wang Dong, she couldn¡¯t show it. Research was more important! At the thought of this, she calmed down a lot. Wang Dong slowly walked out. She walked forward and asked expressionlessly, ¡°Do you want to return to the research center to do research?¡± Research? What was the point of doing research? However, he didn¡¯t look impatient at all. Instead, he smiled and said, ¡°I encountered some trouble in my research and need to go to the library. Go back and work on it yourself. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, come and ask me.¡± Song Junyao nodded hesitantly. As expected of someone Teacher Lian thought highly of. He loved to study so much. As for Wang Dong asking her to work on the research herself, she took it as him having confidence in her. Therefore, she said, ¡°I will produce good results.¡± This sentence was very similar to her answer during the interview previously. Wang Dong looked at her determined back and thought to himself, ¡°Young people these days are really energetic. How can research be done just like that?¡± However, he didn¡¯t hate hardworking employees. He turned around and walked towards the library. He didn¡¯t lie when he said he was going to investigate. However, he was really planning on seducing Qin Sixia. Firstly, he wanted to carry out the early investigation work. He mainly needed to know the other party¡¯s preferences, including the preferences of reading and writing. He knew very well that he couldn¡¯t use conventional methods to seduce this kind of person. If he wanted to have any interaction with Qin Sixia, he had to understand the other party¡¯s interests! In other words, he had to find out what she liked to read. Something like that was not difficult. As long as he could get Qin Sixia¡¯s borrowing card, wouldn¡¯t he be able to find out? Therefore, Wang Dong did not return to his room. He stayed in the library to read! He still had to queue to eat in the canteen, so he might as well buy a big pancake and some dry food to fill his stomach. When his buttocks hurt from sitting, he walked around, but his gaze was always on the spot at the door. A familiar figure walked towards him. ¡°Brother, I heard from the teacher that you¡¯ve been researching in the library recently. Did you get anything done?¡± Wang Dong¡¯s mental state was not very good, and his eyes were very dry. In order not to waste his time, he flipped through many books about business. He even read the teaching materials about law. After all, as the saying went, the ways to earn money were all written in the law. Liang Zongguang looked at the book on the table and said in surprise, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t tell me you want to transfer specializations to law?¡± ¡°No, I was just bored.¡± Wang Dong took a sip of warm water and asked, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Liang Zongguang put down his bag, unzipped it, and handed him the hot food. ¡°This is for you.¡± ¡°They¡¯re all mine?¡± Wang Dong was stunned. Liang Zongliang nodded. ¡°Actually, Song Junyao bought it and asked me to pass it to you.¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Dong was first stunned.. He asked in confusion, ¡°Why didn¡¯t she come personally?¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°She¡¯s in a hurry to do research.¡± She was in a hurry to do research but still had the time to get him food? Wang Dong scratched the back of his head. This favor was a little difficult to repay. The system suddenly said, ¡°Host, do you feel the beauty of love? Do you want to date Song Junyao now?¡± Why was the system always urging him to date? For some reason, it felt like the system was his aunt. He coldly replied. ¡°No, Song Junyao and I are just ordinary friends. Dating will only affect my earnings.¡± ¡°Next time, I will go to the research center and teach something to Song Junyao. This way, I¡¯ll be able to return the favor.¡± Liang Zongguang gossiped, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re really something! You managed to win the heart of our class beauty in just a few days? Could it be that you fed her some kind of love potion?¡± He did use the Soul Bewitching Fragrance. Wang Dong cursed in his heart. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. I don¡¯t have that kind of intentions towards her.¡± Liang Zongguang asked suspiciously, ¡°You really don¡¯t?¡± ¡°I¡¯m certain. I only have eyes for money. Money is the love of my life, understand?¡± It had been a while since Wang Dong had eaten such a sumptuous meal. He ate it in big mouthfuls. Seeing that he wasn¡¯t kidding, Liang Zongguang believed him and said, ¡°As expected of a genius, you¡¯re already biting off more than you can chew. I heard you plan to establish a literature club. Do you have any ideas?¡± ¡°Soon, why? Do you want to join?¡± Wang Dong ate too quickly and choked. He quickly poured water down his throat and cleared his throat. Liang Zongguang thought for a moment. ¡°I haven¡¯t decided yet, but I still have to consider it. After all, I¡¯m not that good at literature.¡± ¡°As long as you like to read, right?¡± Wang Dong asked. ¡°Then I like to read novels, does that count?¡± ¡°What kind of novels?¡± ¡°Web novels.¡± The two of them looked at each other. Wang Dong said helplessly, ¡°Alright.¡± Who said that web novels couldn¡¯t be considered as literature? It could still count as literature. Liang Zongguang patted him on the shoulder and said, ¡°If you lack people, come and find me. If my brother is in trouble, I¡¯ll have to help out, right?¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s settled then.¡± He paused and continued, ¡°As long as you don¡¯t get me in trouble.¡± The two of them looked at each other and smiled. After Wang Dong finished eating, Liang Zongguang left with his bowl. He didn¡¯t know how long had passed. But the moment had finally arrived! The person he was waiting for was here! Wang Dong glanced at his cell phone. Very good, he had waited for three days and three nights this time. His rations were almost gone, and he felt dizzy. He felt uncomfortable all over! The person slowly walked in, and the whispering stopped. She had curved willowy eyebrows, a round and small nose, pink lips, and slightly curled black hair that casually fell to her waist. There was a mole under the right eye that seemed to be able to seduce people. But the sadness and confusion in her eyes made people feel pity for her. A simple floral dress and white canvas shoes made her look like a quiet girl. For some reason, she had a calming aura. If Song Junyao was an unreachable snow lotus, then Qin Sixia was an apricot flower blooming in the spring sun. She was white and flawless, but she also carried a sense of pride. In terms of looks, Qin Sixia wasn¡¯t inferior to Song Junyao at all. In fact, in terms of aura, she even surpassed her, making everyone¡¯s eyes light up! Wang Dong returned to his senses. For some reason, he suddenly recalled how people used to say that Lin Liu University had the most beautiful girls and handsome boys! It looked like the rumors weren¡¯t exaggerated. [Name: Qin Sixia] [Profession: Student] [Looks: 92] [Status: Currently seeing someone] [Weakness 1: Literature] [Weakness 2:???] [Cheating Rate: 45%] Wang Dong looked at the three question marks and asked in his heart, ¡°What do the question marks mean?¡± The system answered, ¡°It means that the host needs to explore it personally.¡± It turned out that the system wasn¡¯t all-knowing. Soon, he thought of a solution and said, ¡°Are there any pills in the store that can make a person¡¯s stomach purely inflate? Best if it¡¯s colorless, odorless, and easily soluble in water.¡± ¡°Yes, do you want to exchange for it?¡± ¡°How many points?¡± ¡°Abdominal inflation pill, 15 points.¡± Wang Dong¡¯s head started to hurt. Why was it so difficult to earn points? His points were all gone after buying a few pills. It really couldn¡¯t be helped. ¡°¡­Alright, I¡¯ll buy it.¡± ¡°The item has been released. Host, please take note.¡± Therefore, a white pill appeared in his pocket. He took advantage of the time Qin Sixia was loading the water and pretended to accidentally bump into her. ¡°Sorry, sorry, I wasn¡¯t paying attention.¡± He secretly threw the pill into the other party¡¯s cup. Qin Sixia didn¡¯t mind. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± This voice was actually a little nice? It felt like a breeze in the summer. Should it be said that people lived up to their name? Wang Dong was stunned for a second. When he returned to his senses, the other party had already left. He smiled. After being reborn, he had noticed a scenery he had never seen in his previous life. It could barely be considered a loss. At the same time, Qin Sixia read while drinking water. She was completely immersed in the story. It was just that after a while, she realized that her stomach seemed to be a little uncomfortable. She frowned slightly and had to stop reading before going to the bathroom. Wang Dong pretended to be passing by and naturally took the card from her seat. The system ridiculed, ¡°If I didn¡¯t know that you were a businessman in your previous life, I would have thought that you were a habitual criminal.¡± ¡°Thank you for praising my skills.¡± He said confidently, ¡°Do you know why you¡¯re a system and not a person?¡± The system asked, ¡°¡­Why?¡± ¡°Because humans are born despicable and shameless. They can do anything to survive.¡± Wang Dong stated the truth. ¡°And I just have a stronger desire to live than ordinary people.¡± The two parties fell silent. His eyebrows raised slightly as he smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m kidding. Do you believe me?¡± The system felt that its host often mixed lies in the truth, making it impossible to tell. ¡°I almost believed it.¡± ¡°You¡¯re really easy to deceive.¡± But this was also good, saving them the trouble of scheming against each other. Wang Dong handed the card to the administrator and said, ¡°I want to check the records of the books I previously borrowed. I accidentally forgot which book I borrowed previously.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The administrator did as he said without any doubts. The computer screen displayed Qin Sixia¡¯s recent borrowing record. The authors were basically all: poetry authors such as Byron, Ji Ci, Shelley, Shakespeare, and Borges. They were the kind of literature a typical literary girl would read, but this latest book¡­ The administrator looked at the name above and asked, ¡°Why did you choose a girl¡¯s name?¡± Wang Dong seemed to have just sensed it. ¡°Oh, sorry, I took my girlfriend¡¯s card. My card should be with her too. Sorry.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright..¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Wang Dong turned around and saw Song Junyao appear at the entrance of the library. She was coming towards him. He subconsciously pushed the card into his sleeve. If the other party saw him returning the card, Song Junyao might become suspicious. However, why did she suddenly come here? Didn¡¯t she say that she would do research at the research center? This time, he was caught off guard. He only hoped that Song Junyao would only come to chat for a while before leaving. After all, the pill wouldn¡¯t last long. Qin Sixia would soon come out of the bathroom. Song Junyao walked in front of him and said, ¡°I knew you were here. I heard from Liang Zongguang that you¡¯ve been staying in the library recently. I¡¯m a little worried that your body won¡¯t be able to take it, so I came over to give you something to eat.¡± She handed him a lunch box. ¡°Although I know you like to study, your body is your best capital. If your body collapses, won¡¯t the losses outweigh the gains? How long are you planning to stay in the library? Why don¡¯t I accompany you?¡± She happened to encounter a difficult problem on the other side, so she wanted to come over and relax. She thought that she might even find a solution here. She also brought some food for Wang Dong. She looked at the clearly tired Wang Dong and said with concern, ¡°You¡¯ve been searching for information day and night. Have you found what you need? If you haven¡¯t, I can help you.¡± This was the expert she admired. He was clearly more outstanding than ordinary people, but he still worked so hard. This made her involuntarily admire him even more. Compared to him, Xiang Dongyu was simply trash. Moreover, ever since she broke up with him, Xiang Dongyu didn¡¯t even take classes seriously anymore. He was much more dispirited, which made her look down on him even more. Even more talented people were studying in the library. What right did Xiang Dongyu have to not work hard? In the end, she simply gave up on him and focused all her energy on learning. She looked at Wang Dong with anticipation in her eyes and said, ¡°What have you been doing recently? Why don¡¯t we talk together? Although my abilities are limited, maybe I can give you some suggestions.¡± Wang Dong was burning with anxiety. If he didn¡¯t return the borrowed card, it would be too late! He suppressed his impatience and smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve almost found the answer, but I still need to verify it. If you don¡¯t have anything else, go back and do your research. I hope we can produce some good results soon.¡± This sentence made Song Junyao like him a lot more. Look, he was still talking about his research! This was the expert she was looking for! She said in all seriousness, ¡°In fact, I¡¯ve also encountered some bottlenecks. I¡¯ll discuss it with you.¡± Wang Dong¡¯s index finger tapped the table from time to time to conceal his anxious heart. ¡°What¡¯s the problem? Wait until I leave the library¡­¡± ¡°But I¡¯m desperate to know the answer.¡± Song Junyao said stubbornly. However, he also urgently wanted Song Junyao to leave. He asked in his mind, ¡°How long until Qin Sixia comes out?¡± ¡°One minute, please hurry up.¡± One minute?! If possible, he really wanted to pause time, so he continued to ask, ¡°Do you have any tools to pause time here?¡± ¡°Host, please be realistic.¡± What was unrealistic was the existence of such a system. An unrealistic thing actually said that what he thought was unrealistic? Trash system! ¡°Then do you have a tool to quickly put something back in its place?¡± This should be fine, right? The system replied, ¡°The host doesn¡¯t have enough points. Please think of a way yourself.¡± Trash system! He couldn¡¯t do anything! Wang Dong cursed a few more times and realized that he couldn¡¯t solve the problem, so he sped up and asked Song Junyao, ¡°What do you want to know? Which page¡¯s question?¡± Which page? Could it be that he had already memorized the contents? Song Junyao said doubtfully, ¡°It¡¯s page 189.¡± ¡°The answer is 13. You don¡¯t need me to tell you the steps, right?¡± He wondered if Song Junyao could leave now. The system said, ¡°There are still ten seconds.¡± Wang Dong couldn¡¯t help but go crazy in his heart. Was this a death sentence? Upon hearing the answer, Song Junyao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I know what to do. I¡¯ll go back and do some research first, but the lunch box¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bring it back myself.¡± ¡°Alright, thank you!¡± Seeing that she had finally left, Wang Dong hurriedly turned around and walked towards Qin Sixia¡¯s position. He had just taken half a step when he heard the system say, ¡°It¡¯s too late, Qin Sixia has already come out.¡± Just as Song Junyao left, Qin Sixia came out. Were they messing with his mentality? He touched the borrowed card in his sleeve and seemed to have thought of something. He returned to the administrator¡¯s place and said, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not wearing glasses. I accidentally saw the wrong name just now. This isn¡¯t my girlfriend¡¯s card.¡± ¡°Is that so? Then leave it with me first.¡± The administrator didn¡¯t think too much of it. After all, who would spend so much effort to steal a useless borrowing card? It wasn¡¯t a bank card. Wang Dong naturally gave the card to the other party and glanced at Qin Sixia from the corner of his eye. She happened to be looking for her card everywhere. In order to not let others suspect him, he prepared to leave without stopping. Before he took a few steps, the administrator behind him suddenly said, ¡°Wait! Student.¡± Could it be that his secret had been exposed? Wang Dong pretended to be calm and asked, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± ¡°You forgot to take your lunch box.¡± The administrator smiled and said. ¡°Oh, oh, you¡¯re right. Thank you for the reminder.¡± Wang Dong strode forward and left with the lunch box Song Junyao had brought. In the beginning, when Liang Zongguang handed the lunch box over. it wasn¡¯t that Wang Dong hadn¡¯t thought about what would happen if Song Junyao came personally. However, Wang Dong also felt that Song Junyao¡¯s research would probably keep her busy, so she probably wouldn¡¯t end up coming. In the end, he didn¡¯t expect her to really come. Fortunately, Wang Dong¡¯s mental fortitude was pretty good. Otherwise, he would really die here today. Only after walking far away from the library did Wang Dong completely heave a sigh of relief. He then found a place to sit down, took out his cell phone, and started to search for Qin Sixia. Although he only saw the usual reading list to figure out Qin Sixia¡¯s likes, this was far from enough! He had to investigate what Qin Sixia had written and where she submitted her manuscripts. But no matter how he searched, he couldn¡¯t find the information he wanted. Ever since Qin Sixia obtained the Literature Prize and her work became popular, there had been no relevant news. He thought that she probably changed her pen name. After all, it¡¯s normal for writers to have a few aliases. However, she never revealed her alternate alias. She was probably very low-profile. Was he supposed to read all the books one by one? Not only was this efficiency poor, but it was also easy for him to mess up. After all, Qin Sixia¡¯s style was not clear at the moment, and there were even many books of the same style. It gave Wang Dong a headache.. Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Searching like this was like searching for a needle in a haystack. He only had seven days. It was impossible for him to finish reading so many books. He thought of the system and asked, ¡°Can you check Qin Sixia¡¯s pen name?¡± ¡°Host, please explore by yourself. The system doesn¡¯t have this function.¡± Wang Dong clicked his tongue. ¡°I can¡¯t find it, right? Don¡¯t you want me to complete the mission?¡± The system said mercilessly, ¡°Of course I want to, but the system doesn¡¯t have this function. If the host wants to live, then find a way yourself.¡± However, the problem right now was that he couldn¡¯t find it. Therefore, the two parties were in a deadlock. In the end, Wang Dong had no choice but to compromise. That made sense. If the system could be relied on one day, even a sow would probably climb a tree. Otherwise, why would it be called a trash system? He sighed heavily. After gathering the basic information about Qin Sixia, he would have to do a field study. Since the Internet wasn¡¯t good, he would start from reality. If he wanted to know where Qin Sixia submitted her manuscripts, the best way was for him to start observing her. However, according to the information Wang Dong knew at the moment. Qin Sixia only went to the library once a week and would usually stay in her dormitory. It could be said that she lived in seclusion. Apart from writing books in the dormitory every day, she rarely showed up. Due to her quiet personality, she naturally didn¡¯t have any friends. Perhaps a person like Qin Sixia only needed to be friends with her muse. On second thought, Wang Dong seemed to have thought of another way. Just as he was about to get up, his stomach growled from hunger. He should fill his stomach first. At the thought of this, Wang Dong immediately opened the lunch box and started eating big mouthfuls. The food Song Junyao prepared for him was very meticulous. The egg milk and the dietary fiber clearly contained reasonable nutrition. Therefore, when he finished eating, he happened to be full but not too full. Wang Dong took out his cell phone and dialed a number. ¡°Are you free now?¡± Before long, Liang Zongguang arrived and smiled. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re finally out? I thought you were going to stay in the library for a long time!¡± ¡°How can that be? It¡¯s not comfortable spending the night there.¡± Wang Dong replied with a smile, ¡°What have you been doing recently?¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯m playing basketball. It may not seem like it, but I was on the school team in high school.¡± Liang Zongguang¡¯s easy going personality also made him get along well with those people. He asked, ¡°Why did you ask me to come out?¡± Wang Dong raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°You should be very well-informed, right?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Liang Zongguang said confidently, ¡°Ask me whatever you want to ask! There¡¯s nothing in this school that I don¡¯t know!¡± Wang Dong said, ¡°I want news of Qin Sixia.¡± The air fell silent. ¡°What? Don¡¯t you know?¡± Liang Zongguang looked troubled and said, ¡°Brother, most of the things I know are about the boys¡­¡± Was news about Qin Sixia really so rare? Wang Dong was a little disappointed. Wasn¡¯t this mission too difficult? ¡°However, I think that senior should know something. I¡¯ll help you ask.¡± He had hope again. Was this the benefit of having a wide network? Liang Zongguang dialed a number and said, ¡°Hello, Senior, it¡¯s me. I remember that you¡¯re in the same dormitory as Senior Qin Sixia, right? I want to ask you about something.¡± He pressed the speaker button and handed it to Wang Dong. He whispered, ¡°Take it.¡± After Wang Dong took it, he asked, ¡°I want to know where Senior Qin Sixia submits her manuscripts.¡± The other party was stunned for a few seconds before saying, ¡°Wang Dong?¡± When Wang Dong heard this familiar voice, he was also stunned. Wasn¡¯t this the short-haired woman he encountered a few days ago when he went to the club? Wang Dong said hesitantly, ¡°Ning Xi?¡± ¡°Call me Senior, Genius Junior. I thought you had already given up on that idea. I didn¡¯t expect you to end up calling me. However, although I¡¯m in the same dormitory as Qin Sixia, I¡¯ve been outside for a long time and rarely go back, so I don¡¯t know where she submits her manuscripts.¡± A happy voice came from the other end. Wang Dong even suspected that this person was messing with him. He probed, ¡°Then can you help me ask?¡± ¡°Sorry, if I were in school, I would definitely help you ask, but I¡¯m outside now. Why don¡¯t I help you ask after I¡¯m back?¡± ¡°How many days until you¡¯re back?¡± ¡°About five to six days. The things on hand are more troublesome, so I won¡¯t get into it.¡± Five to six days? What kind of joke was that? After five or six days, his corpse would probably be cold, right? Why was it that no matter which path he took, it was as if he could see the words ¡°this path is blocked¡±? Wasn¡¯t his luck too terrible? ¡°Alright, if you come back early, give me a call.¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Next, Wang Dong went to all the places he could go, but he couldn¡¯t find the clues he needed. Be it the creation of a club or the mission of the system, He still had no progress. Seeing that he had fallen into a stalemate, Wang Dong staggered back to the dormitory and lay on the bed. Wang Dong wondered if he should just lie around and do nothing. Seducing girls was too difficult. It was even more difficult than earning ten million yuan from scratch in his previous life. ¡°Eh? You¡¯re back?¡± A young man¡¯s voice walked out of the bathroom and said in surprise. Wang Dong looked at him in a daze. Then, as if he had seen his savior, he said, ¡°My dear friend, I hope to obtain your help! Now that I¡¯m in a critical situation, you¡¯re my only solution.¡± The person in front of him was Wang Dong¡¯s roommate, Ruan Zecheng. The reason why Wang Dong said this was very simple. If Liang Zongguang¡¯s information in the boys¡¯ dormitory was little Ling Tong¡­ Then Ruan Zecheng was undoubtedly a friend of women! Ruan Zecheng was indeed a little handsome, one of those handsome young men. Therefore, as long as Ruan Zecheng was willing, just by standing there, he would attract the favor of women. This natural affinity made him have a lot of female friends. Unfortunately, they would only remain as friends. Wang Dong knew it in his previous life. Ruan Zecheng simply didn¡¯t have the guts to ask for more. For the entire four years of university, all the women who liked him had become his female friends! This matter even made Wang Dong angry for him. As the two of them hit it off right from the start in his previous life, they became very close friends not long after entering university. Therefore, Wang Dong also trusted Ruan Zecheng¡¯s character. If he handed this matter to Ruan Zecheng, he would be more at ease. Ruan Zecheng wiped his hair with a towel and teased, ¡°What can a genius ask of me? Tell me about it?¡± ¡°I need you to get close to Qin Sixia¡¯s dorm mate and find out her schedule.¡± Wang Dong did not hide anything and went straight to the point. Ruan Zecheng looked at him and asked curiously, ¡°You probably fell for that senior, right?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Tell me, are you going to help or not?¡± Wang Dong avoided this question. He was only doing this for the mission, but he couldn¡¯t say this to others. If he was not interested in her, why else would he look into her schedule? It wasn¡¯t like he was a pervert. Compared to being a pervert, being interested in the other party was naturally the better choice. At the thought of this, he sighed again. Even earning money wasn¡¯t so tiring. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll help you with this.. I¡¯ll definitely help you pursue your goddess!¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Seeing how excited Ruan Zecheng was, Wang Dong couldn¡¯t be bothered to explain, so he didn¡¯t correct him. He only hoped that everything would go smoothly, because he didn¡¯t have much time left. In the canteen. ¡°Is that all you eat? Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡± ¡°This is enough for me because I¡¯ve been on a diet recently. I heard that cucumbers, cabbages, and tomatoes won¡¯t increase my weight after eating these. I even plan to travel abroad during the holidays! Perhaps I can even meet my destined one.¡± ¡°Actually, I think you¡¯re already pretty enough now. You¡¯re not fat or thin. Besides, aren¡¯t the students in your department still taking exams recently? If you eat so little, you won¡¯t have the strength to take the exams. What are you going to do?¡± ¡°Not really. In fact, just in case, I prepared a few cucumbers in my bag. When I¡¯m hungry, I¡¯ll take a bite. There¡¯s also some candy. When I start feeling dizzy, I¡¯ll eat a few. Let me tell you, every examination in our department is like a nightmare. If I were given a chance to redo it, I definitely wouldn¡¯t choose the Chinese language class.¡± Ruan Zecheng was chatting happily with the woman with the braid. Wang Dong, on the other hand, sat not far away and ate without saying a word. He felt that he should praise Ruan Zecheng. In just a few words, the distance between the two of them was closed. From the looks of the situation, those who didn¡¯t know would think that the two of them were friends for many years. This should be considered as charisma, right? In addition, although Ruan Zecheng¡¯s appearance couldn¡¯t be considered top-notch in school, he could still be said to be clean. It was the appearance that women would feel pity for when they saw him. The woman with freckles and braided hair continued, ¡°Listening to our professor in class is like listening to a heavenly book. He has to break one word into several meanings, so much so that my head hurts when I hear the words now. Is your finance department the same?¡± Although Wang Dong and Ruan Zecheng were both from the finance department, they were not in the same class. ¡°We often calculate mathematics questions on our side, and they¡¯re all especially tricky. It¡¯s clearly the finance department, but some questions still have to be read and understood. It¡¯s very troublesome.¡± Ruan Zecheng sighed sincerely. ¡°Speaking of which, my roommate is that genius first-year student. He often studies outside. Whoever sees him will say that he works hard.¡± ¡°Eh?! Your roommate is actually that genius!¡± The woman in the braid was first shocked, then she said as if she had the same feeling, ¡°Perhaps this is the common problem of geniuses? My roommate is Qin Sixia. She¡¯s often immersed in her own world. I can still see her writing in the middle of the night.¡± She paused and continued, ¡°As for my other roommate, because she joined the public relations division, she usually works outside, so only Qin Sixia and I are in the dormitory.¡± Ruan Zecheng¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I quite like the books written by Senior Qin. Can you tell me about her?¡± He didn¡¯t forget that his goal this time was Qin Sixia. The freckled woman said indifferently, ¡°There doesn¡¯t seem to be anything interesting I can talk about. We rarely communicate. Apart from going to the library, she stays in the dormitory most of the time.¡± She seemed to have thought of something. ¡°However, she leaves the dormitory once every month. I think she told me that she visits her aunt on that day. That day just happens to be tomorrow.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is?¡± ¡­ The two of them spoke one after another in a very harmonious manner. Before leaving, the woman with the braid was still a little reluctant. After all, there were not many people who she could have such a pleasant conversation with. Therefore, they exchanged contact information and also agreed to go to the aquarium next time. Wang Dong leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets. He witnessed everything in front of him and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. The so-called ¡°friend of women¡± was so terrifying! ¡°Qin Sixia is going out to visit her aunt tomorrow. You might be able to have a chance encounter.¡± Ruan Zecheng picked up some key points to tell him, such as what constellation Qin Sixia was and what color she liked. In the end, he patted Wang Dong¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°All the best, brother! You can do it!¡± Although Ruan Zecheng had also heard that it wasn¡¯t easy to pursue Qin Sixia, he couldn¡¯t discourage his good brother. Moreover, his good brother, Wang Dong, had such good conditions. How could he not be able to pursue her? Wang Dong said helplessly, ¡°If I say I don¡¯t like her, would you believe me?¡± Obviously, Ruan Zecheng couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°I know, you¡¯re shy, right? Let me tell you, you mustn¡¯t shrink back when you see someone you like. Perhaps she happens to like someone like you too?¡± Seeing that his explanation was indeed useless and that it was making things worse, he decided to shut up. The next day. Qin Sixia put on her satchel and was bumped by someone not far from the school gate. Fortunately, neither side was injured. ¡°Sorry, sorry, I forgot to look where I was going.¡± Before she could see the other party¡¯s appearance, the person lowered his hat and ran away without looking up. She only felt that it was strange, but she didn¡¯t take it to heart. She continued moving towards her destination. The person who bumped into her hid at the corner and took off his hat. Then, he casually fanned himself. In order to meet Qin Sixia, he had stayed near the school entrance before dawn. Because he was still wearing a hat and mask, he almost aroused the guard¡¯s suspicion. Fortunately, Wang Dong was fast enough. He had finally placed a secret recorder under Qin Sixia¡¯s bag. As for how the secret recorder came about, it was naturally exchanged with the system with the remaining points. This thing was very sticky. As long as it touched something, it couldn¡¯t be pulled off without using force. What was even more advanced was that it used a certain easily disintegrated material that allowed it to automatically disappear after 24 hours. It was also waterproof, fireproof, and shockproof. It would definitely not fail during the shelf life. However, it could only be used once. Although he didn¡¯t know what was the use for it to be waterproof, fireproof, and shockproof at the same time. He also bought a small pair of binoculars in the system store. As long as he adjusted the button, he could clearly see everything even from thousands of kilometers away. It was just like the secret recorder and was waterproof, fireproof, and shockproof. Wang Dong felt that this tool was pretty useful. Of course, there was also a locator thrown in with the secret recorder, just in case. If he lost her, at least it could tell him its location. If his system could be more useful, would he need to buy so much equipment? ¡°Do you want me to spend more points so that I would obediently do more missions for you?¡± Apart from that, he couldn¡¯t think of anything else. The system made an electric sound. ¡°Everything the system does is for the sake of the host. You want to survive, and I gave you a chance. Is there anything wrong?¡± ¡°If it was really for my sake, you shouldn¡¯t have issued those missions. I was already prepared to show off my skills, but your appearance directly messed up my plan. If you hadn¡¯t showed up, I would have earned a lot of money by now. However, not only do I have no money, but I also have to do missions that I don¡¯t like.¡± In his previous life, he was still a company president. In the end, after rebirth, he still had to do such shameful things. Just thinking about it made him feel bitter. The system said coldly, ¡°Host, you¡¯re too pessimistic. You should be happy. Some people don¡¯t even get the chance to be reborn..¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Only making money can make me happy.¡± The system fell silent. The two of them had completely different goals. The system also began to wonder why it had tied Wang Dong up. At least, it thought that the humans in this world were at least lustful. But it just so happened to choose a person who loved money more than beauty. If it had not forced Wang Dong to carry out the mission, the other party might have treated it as nothing. This was the optimal solution. Wang Dong followed closely behind Qin Sixia. There was still a distance between them. Perhaps because she was too sensitive, she kept feeling that someone was looking at her. Suddenly, she turned around and saw a familiar figure standing not far away. She frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, she realized that the black figure had disappeared. There was nothing unusual on the way. Two people were chatting on the street, and neither of them was wearing a hat. Qin Sixia shook her head. It seemed like she had stayed up late last night to write her manuscript and was too tired. After all, why would someone follow her? Perhaps she was thinking too much. She turned and left. ¡°Host, Qin Sixia left.¡± After hearing the system¡¯s broadcast, Wang Dong heaved a sigh of relief. If he hadn¡¯t cleverly stuffed the hat into his pocket and quickly found someone to hit on, he would have been exposed. How embarrassing. He said in embarrassment, ¡°Sorry, I might have the wrong person.¡± The beautiful woman in the red dress raised her eyebrows. ¡°Little brother, are you looking for your girlfriend?¡± ¡°Ah, yes, she looks a lot like you.¡± Wang Dong returned to his senses and realized that he had accidentally seduced a beautiful woman. She had waist-length black wavy hair, delicate skin, deep facial features, and a pair of foxy eyes that looked a little playful. Her light blue eyes were filled with exuberance. It had to be said that red was especially compatible with her. She was like a cold rose. The loneliness on her body made one want to explore her for some reason. However, she also felt dangerous, as if she would burn him in the next second. [Name: Dongfang Jiang] [Profession: President] [Looks: 95 points] [Status: Single] [Weakness: Work] [Cheating Rate: 10%] ¡°Then don¡¯t you mistake someone else for your girlfriend the next time.¡± With that, the female president left. Wang Dong didn¡¯t think too much and quickly followed Qin Sixia. She walked into a coffee shop skillfully while he ran to the KFC opposite the coffee shop. After casually ordering a set meal, he found a blind spot and sat down. Was she meeting her aunt at the coffee shop? This was really strange. He adjusted his earpiece and heard the sound of something being placed inside. ¡°Sorry, Han Xuan, I¡¯m late.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, I just arrived. Were you writing until early in the morning again? When are you going to take care of your body?¡± Male voice? Could it be that the so-called visit to his aunt was just an excuse? Qin Sixia still didn¡¯t know that her every move was being watched by Wang Dong. She took a sip of coffee and said, ¡°Because I didn¡¯t have any inspiration previously, the inspiration for that novel was put on hold. Didn¡¯t ¡®Germinal¡¯ recently make a request for me to update more? I rushed this out overnight. Editor Han, quickly take a look.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I say? Outside the workplace. Let¡¯s not address each other as author or editor. Right now, I¡¯m your boyfriend.¡± The bespectacled man, Han Xuan, smiled and said. Then, he took the thick manuscript and began to review it. Qin Sixia smiled sweetly. She focused on her boyfriend. She didn¡¯t intentionally lie to her roommates just because she wanted to hide her relationship with her boyfriend from them. She just didn¡¯t want others to misunderstand and think that she relied on connections just because he was the editor¡¯s girlfriend. After all, in the beginning, their relationship was purely based on work. Later on, after getting familiar with each other, they realized that their personalities and hobbies were very compatible, so they chose to be together. After a while, Han Xuan nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°It¡¯s written very well. If this update speed can be faster, I believe it won¡¯t be long before you become the gold medal author of our ¡®Germinal¡¯.¡± It was certain that it was only a matter of time before Qin Sixia became a gold medal author. She had not joined the magazine for long, but the company¡¯s royalties for her were almost comparable to that of a top author. ¡°Inspirations are very difficult to find.¡± Qin Sixia rubbed his temples and said, ¡°I want to start a new short story recently. When you¡¯re free, help me take a look.¡± ¡°Alright, after drinking the coffee, let¡¯s go to the editorial department to talk.¡± ¡­ Wang Dong didn¡¯t listen to the rest of the conversation. After confirming that Qin Sixia¡¯s work was published in ¡°Germinal¡± magazine, he took a taxi and left the area. The company address of the headquarters of ¡°Germinal¡± was a little far from here. Considering that Qin Sixia and her boyfriend were also going later¡­ He had to leave first. In half an hour, Wang Dong arrived at his destination. He looked at the tall building in front of him and walked in to knock on the table. The receptionist looked up and asked, ¡°May I ask why you¡¯re here?¡± ¡°I want to submit a long manuscript here. I want the contact information of an editor. Can you give me one?¡± Wang Dong asked with a smile. It was also because of his face and approachable attitude that the receptionist didn¡¯t think too much about it. ¡°We have several editors here. Do you have any editors you¡¯re familiar with?¡± ¡°No, but I heard from an author friend that he recommended it, but that editor seems to be mainly in charge of short stories. What¡¯s his surname again¡­ I think his surname is Han¡­¡± ¡°Oh, oh, editor Han Xuan, is it?¡± She directly handed him the editor¡¯s contact. ¡°When you¡¯re done, just submit it to him. I¡¯m looking forward to your work.¡± Her little face was a little red as she asked, ¡°By the way¡­ can I know your contact information?¡± Wang Dong paused and gave her the WeChat message. Changing contact information was not a loss for him. After obtaining this WeChat contact, Wang Dong had achieved his goal. He immediately ran back to the school dormitory. He opened his notebook and ate the Literary Talent Capsule. Instantly, the top 100 bestselling novels surged into his mind! Among the many books, he finally chose to write a famous romance novel: Twilight! The first part of this book was about the story of a young girl transferring to a town and falling in love with a vampire. Apart from vampires, there were also werewolves inside. After all, this book became one of the top five bestselling books on the New York Times trending list as soon as it was released. Later on, it even stayed on the list for 56 weeks, and it was the bestselling book for five weeks! The next four parts even made it onto the rankings in succession, directly squeezing out ¡°Harry Potter¡±. Its global sales even reached tens of millions! It was enough to see how popular it was. At the same time. It was also the fantasy romance novel that sold the most copies. In this world, no one had ever suggested such a novel setting! As long as Wang Dong wrote it. Then this book would be the first book with vampires and werewolves! After all, the books that came after, such as 50 Shades of Gray, were all more or less based on this book. He believed that as long as the editor wasn¡¯t blind, he could tell how much potential this book had. Wang Dong believed that this novel was different from purely urban romance novels. For women all over the world, it was definitely the ultimate temptation! Who didn¡¯t think of falling in love with such a mysterious, ancient, and wild species when they were young? Wang Dong was filled with emotions. He was motivated to write it all out.. Chapter 20 - Using Twilight to Fish Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Because he didn¡¯t need to create it himself and was only copying it down, Wang Dong wrote it especially quickly! As time passed, the keyboard sounds in the room finally stopped. He turned his neck and leaned back in his chair with all his strength. Then, he took out his cell phone and registered a new number. He changed his profile picture to the picture of a girl and made his name the same as the original author of Twilight in his previous life¡ªStephanie Mel. According to the number provided by the company¡¯s front desk previously, it was very easy for him to add Han Xuan¡¯s contact. Before long, the other party agreed to his friend request. [Editor Han Xuan: Hello, beauty, do you want to submit your manuscript?] The corners of Wang Dong¡¯s mouth curled up. The fish had taken the bait. Therefore, he directly sent over the tens of thousands of words he had just written and asked, ¡°Please take a look, will this do?¡± On the other hand, Han Xuan thought that it was some newbie again. He originally didn¡¯t plan to read it, but considering that it was a female author¡¯s manuscript, he gave it a chance. He opened the document without any expectations. ¡°Twilight, First Volume, First Chapter, Prelude¡± ¡°I¡¯d never given much thought to how I would die ¡ª though I¡¯d had reason enough in the last few months ¡ª but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it¡¯s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end. The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.¡± When Han Xuan saw the clean and simple writing at the start, he sat up straight. These weren¡¯t words that newbies could write. If the subsequent plot wasn¡¯t bad, he could basically sign the contract. Therefore, he became even more serious. After a long time, he slowly exhaled. Interesting novel. No, it should be said that it wasn¡¯t as simple as interesting. It was explosive. It was definitely explosive. With the sense of smell of an old editor, Han Xuan could completely confirm that this work would undoubtedly be a huge hit on the publishing market. Could the other party¡­ be some kind of god? [Editor Han Xuan: Excuse me, did you have any publishing experience previously?] Seeing that he had taken the bait, Wang Dong replied: [No, this is my first time writing a novel.] This was the other party¡¯s first time writing a novel? How could it be so well written? Han Xuan couldn¡¯t help but feel that he had found a treasure. After all, such things did happen. The virgin work of a newbie writer would sometimes become a best-selling work that led the trend. He had to sign it. And he wanted to develop his relationship with this author. Immediately, Han Xuan¡¯s mind became active. If he went further, he could get a genius author of this level into his bed. In that case¡­ Tsk, tsk, tsk. [Editor Han Xuan: Are you a foreigner? You must be very talented for you to be able to write so well on your first time.] [Stephanie Mel: I¡¯m Chinese-American. I lived in the United States before I was 16 years old. I stayed in China for several years in university. Isn¡¯t my writing too immature?] He tried his best to create the image of an ignorant genius girl. Although Wang Dong felt like vomiting, he didn¡¯t mind sacrificing himself to find out what kind of person Qin Sixia¡¯s boyfriend was. [Editor Han Xuan: It¡¯s really not bad! I¡¯m sure your book will sell well. By the way, is that you in your profile picture?] Of course not. This was a photo of a beautiful young girl that Wang Dong had asked the system to synthesize. She looked like she had just reached adulthood. [Stephanie Mel: Yes, is there a problem?] [Editor Han Xuan: You¡¯re too beautiful. In our industry, you¡¯re probably the first to look so beautiful.] As an old fox who had lived two lives, Wang Dong was pretty confident in the male¡¯s mentality. After a few simple attempts, the other party would obediently jump into the trap. Wasn¡¯t it obvious at a glance what intentions he had for saying such nonsense to a ¡°female author¡±? Wang Dong couldn¡¯t help but want to remind Han Xuan that he was a man with a girlfriend. If any woman saw that her boyfriend was chatting in this way with another girl, she would definitely be jealous. [Editor Han Xuan: Your novel is especially well written. When the time comes, the media will probably publicize you and say that you¡¯re a beautiful genius author!] The reason Han Xuan said this was completely because he had never dated mixed-blood beauties before. Although Qin Sixia was already beautiful enough, he was still not satisfied. No matter how beautiful she was, he couldn¡¯t stand looking at her every day. Apart from the initial throbbing, he was already tired of it. Moreover, Qin Sixia could be said to be a person who guarded her body like jade. Han Xuan had tried many times, but he only managed to wrap his arm around her shoulder. He couldn¡¯t touch her other parts at all. Han Xuan had maintained it for so long because he still wanted to do more things with Qin Sixia. Unfortunately, Qin Sixia only had literature in her mind and didn¡¯t agree to his intimacy at all. In that case, since he had not eaten meat for so long, he might as well use this ignorant mixed-blood writer as an appetizer. [Editor Han Xuan: Although it might be a little sudden to say this, I still have to say it, because I¡¯m afraid that if I don¡¯t say it now, I¡¯ll regret it for the rest of my life. Miss Mel, I like you a lot.] [Stephanie Mel: Thank you for the praise. I think you¡¯re pretty nice too.] [Editor Han Xuan: Then do you like me?] [Stephanie Mel: Well, I don¡¯t know, but I saw many pictures of you with another girl on your social media feed¡­] [Editor Han Xuan: Oh, that girl¡­] It started, it started! A glint flashed in Wang Dong¡¯s eyes. He was waiting for Han Xuan¡¯s explanation. If he said she was just an ordinary friend, he would be a scumbag. Han Xuan thought that he was the hunter, but he didn¡¯t know that he had already become the prey. [Editor Han Xuan: But, do you know Bovova?] [Stephanie Mel: I know. She¡¯s very famous as the author of Second Sex.] [Editor Han Xuan: To be honest, I quite agree with the open relationship she mentioned. People shouldn¡¯t be hung on a tree. Love should be free. As long as we like each other, so what if we interfere in other people¡¯s feelings?] Wang Dong almost laughed out loud. This guy sure was refreshing and transcendent. He managed to defend his cheating by claiming to be interested in the open relationships of the west. [Stephanie Mel: Are you talking about the relationship where a man maintains relationships with multiple women at the same time by satisfying all parties?] [Editor Han Xuan: Miss Mel is really smart. I¡¯ve always believed that even if it¡¯s an open relationship, as long as there¡¯s love as support, it will still definitely be a harmonious and beautiful relationship.] In between the lines, Han Xuan meant that he wanted to maintain such a relationship with this so-called mixed-blood beauty. Wang Dong clicked his tongue. Harmonious and beautiful? Who was he kidding? He wanted to remind Han Xuan how scary human jealousy could be. [Stephanie Mel: I¡¯ve never experienced such a thing. Is such a relationship even real?] [Editor Han Xuan: There are Sutter, Povova, and Olga overseas. They all had relationships with multiple people, so why can¡¯t we?] [Stephanie Mel: So, you already have a girlfriend?] [Editor Han Xuan: Yes, so what? As long as we love each other sincerely, nothing can stop us!] Wang Dong retched and continued to play along. [Stephanie Mel: From what you¡¯re saying, you¡¯ve tried it? I¡¯ve only heard of it. Is such a relationship really good?] Wang Dong perfectly created the image of a naive and curious girl. Han Xuan was very pleased at the mention of this. [Editor Han Xuan: I¡¯m maintaining such an open relationship with two women now. One is Qin Sixia, the other is Liu Zhen.] Just two? Wang Dong didn¡¯t believe it. He had yet to start, but the other party had taken the initiative to take the bait. What did this mean? This meant that this person was a habitual criminal! Perhaps he had even tricked many ignorant girls! Wang Dong was now serving justice on behalf of the heavens to a certain extent. [Stephanie Mel: You¡¯re not small in the editorial position, right? There must be a lot of people who worship you. I don¡¯t believe there are only two.] Han Xuan was almost lost for words! Who could withstand the wheedling of a mixed-blood girl? [Editor Han Xuan: Can you send me a voice message? Call me brother, and I¡¯ll tell you the truth.] Wang Dong couldn¡¯t help but feel that this old pervert was very experienced! Wang Dong shouted in his heart, ¡°System, come out and work! Pick a softer voice and send it over.¡± The system used its electronic voice to say, ¡°The host can use ten points to exchange for the voice changer.¡± ¡°I see that you¡¯re always thinking about my points.¡± He tried to bargain. The system said, ¡°The prices are fixed. If you don¡¯t want to¡­¡± ¡°Alright, you¡¯re so stingy. Fine, ten points it is then.¡± The voice changer quickly appeared in front of Wang Dong, followed by a voice message. Han Xuan opened the voice message and heard the girl¡¯s clear voice. Just the voice alone made the other party hard. Han Xuan smiled like a pig. [Editor Han Xuan: Shi Qiong, Qi Meiyun, Wan Ke, I¡¯ve been with them before. If you still want to know, send another selfie.] Just one voice message and he already revealed three girls? Chapter 21 - The Novel Is on Fire! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Wasn¡¯t this person a little too greedy? After a light click of his tongue, Wang Dong replied: [If I take a selfie for you, you have to say it all in one go. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be angry.] [Editor Han Xuan: No problem, I just want to understand you more. Don¡¯t hate me, alright? I¡¯m sure that if you trust me with your novel, it will definitely become famous! On account of how familiar we are, I¡¯ll definitely promote it to hot sales for you!] Wang Dong was surprised by the other party¡¯s threat. Didn¡¯t this mean that if he wanted his novel to become popular, he needed to do as he said? It basically meant that if he entrusted his novel elsewhere, the novel might very well sink into the ocean. Did he really think he was the boss of a magazine? He was just an editor. If he didn¡¯t need evidence, why would Wang Dong pretend to be polite? ¡°System, quickly send your selfie over.¡± No matter how Han Xuan thought about it, he probably couldn¡¯t imagine that the photo and voice were not synthesized by humans, right? ¡°Ten points to exchange for the picture editing technology. Are you sure you want to do this?¡± The system asked coldly. ¡°Yes, yes, hurry up and send it.¡± Therefore, a cute girl selfie was posted on the chat interface. [Stephanie Mel: Brother Editor, can you tell me now?] When Han Xuan saw this photo, he almost drooled! Who wouldn¡¯t like a mixed-blood beauty? It wasn¡¯t that he hadn¡¯t seen mixed-bloods before, but they weren¡¯t as good-looking as Stephanie Mel! His heart couldn¡¯t help but beat faster at the thought of him being with her. As expected, young people like him were easy to deceive. As he looked at this new message, he seemed to hear the other party calling him big brother. This couldn¡¯t help but let his imagination run wild. [Stephanie Mel: Still here? Editor brother, are you going back on your word? Lying is not something a good child should do.] [Editor Han Xuan: No, no, no, why would I regret it?] Wang Dong wondered if he was exposed for a second and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. [Editor Han Xuan: Do you know this book, ¡°Do You Remember¡±?] The sudden question stunned him for a few seconds. He remembered that it was a fairy tale novel, right? It was pretty popular previously. [Stephanie Mel: I¡¯ve seen it. What¡¯s wrong?] [Editor Han Xuan: She¡¯s also one of them. There¡¯s also Ke Lan, Anqi, Chun Fei¡­] The series of names shocked Wang Dong. No way? This was a little too much! There were even some authors who had not been adults for long! This was no longer a jerk! He was simply scum! He finally understood why Qin Sixia would borrow the book ¡°Second Sex¡± on her borrowing certificate. Han Xuan must have taken the initiative to mention it, right? He actually used his position to pick up one girl after another. Qin Sixia was also stupid to really study the theory of ¡°open relationship¡±. The other party was very cunning. The message was quickly withdrawn. If he didn¡¯t react in time, there was no way for Wang Dong to retain evidence. Fortunately, Wang Dong came prepared. He decisively printed the manuscript and the real-time chat record. After getting the evidence, he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to find Qin Sixia. Instead, he got Han Xuan to publish the book. No matter what the other party said, he pretended not to see. Han Xuan also did not continue to send more messages. Seeing that the mixed-blood beauty didn¡¯t reply, he wasn¡¯t in a hurry. In any case, she would come to the magazine agency sooner or later. When the time came, he could just find an opportunity to make a move. ¡­ At school. ¡°Have you read Twilight recently? That novel is really awesome! I wonder when the author will be able to update the subsequent chapters!¡± ¡°I read it, I read it! I stayed up late and finished reading it, but I was so excited that I couldn¡¯t sleep well the whole night. Even now, I¡¯m still thinking about what will happen to this book. It¡¯s simply the best romance novel I¡¯ve ever seen in my life!¡± ¡°The love between a vampire and a human girl is really compatible! Moreover, the female protagonist¡¯s personality is also very special. She¡¯s not the same kind of female protagonist with the same face. I really want to know the rest!¡± ¡°By the way, have you guys seen the nearest forum? I heard the author is in our university. Maybe we can even be lucky enough to meet the author of this book!¡± ¡­ In just two days after Twilight was released, the sales exceeded 10,000 copies! No matter where Qin Sixia went, she could hear the voices of people discussing the plot. Was it really that good? She carried the new novel to the rooftop and flipped open the book while feeling the summer breeze. When she read the first paragraph, she completely fell into it! Because it was only a thin book, even if she deliberately slowed down, she still finished reading it not long after. She had a lingering feeling that she wanted to see the subsequent content quickly, and they kept filling her mind. She searched online again, but there was no subsequent content. Then, she remembered what those people had said just now. She flipped to the last post-production book and saw that the author had written down some remarks about the book. She focused on the words [I like to compose when night falls. A breeze will sweep across the field and enter the classroom with the window half open. At that time, I could vaguely hear the bell twice]. If she didn¡¯t remember wrongly, the bells at Lin Liu University would ring at nine o¡¯clock sharp every night, and then it would ring again at twelve. Since it was two rings, it meant that it would be after nine. How did the author know that the breeze would sweep across the field? Unless¡­ The field could be seen from that classroom. It was a little far from the clock tower, and it was rare to see classrooms near the field. She thought of Building 8, which happened to meet the above two conditions. However, it had a total of ten levels. How did she know which level it was on? Could it be that she had to search floor by floor? Qin Sixia read the remarks again. She noticed that the author wrote [I¡¯ll place the white cup on the railing. When I¡¯m tired, I¡¯ll look at the starry sky outside for a while]. Was this the meaning of the balcony? If she didn¡¯t remember wrongly, there was only a balcony on the left and right side of Building 8. It was much clearer now. However, there was no need for her to look for the other party personally. She remembered that her boyfriend was an editor in charge of novels. Perhaps he would know? At the thought of this, she took out her cell phone and made a call. ¡°Han Xuan?¡± A tired voice came from the other end. ¡°Sixia, what do you want?¡± ¡°You sound tired.¡± ¡°Yes, because the book Twilight became popular too quickly. Our editorial department printed it overnight, and I haven¡¯t rested for a long time. Moreover, the higher-ups value this book very much. I think the center of the magazine will be transferred to Twilight¡¯ recently.¡± Han Xuan paused for a moment and continued, ¡°I think this year¡¯s new romance novel king should be hers. By the way, are you looking for me to ask me something?¡± Qin Sixia didn¡¯t expect the magazine to take this book so seriously. However, with the current sales volume, it seemed normal? She returned to her senses and said, ¡°Ah, right..¡± Chapter 22 - Meeting in the Teaching Block Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°I want to ask you about the follow-up manuscript of Twilight¡¯. Has the author sent it to you? I realized that this novel is very well written and I want to communicate with this author.¡± Han Xuan immediately became vigilant after hearing the second half of the sentence. He didn¡¯t want these two to meet. If the other party told Qin Sixia about what he had said, wouldn¡¯t his goal be obstructed? ¡°This author rarely goes online, so basically, apart from receiving her manuscripts, I can¡¯t contact her at all. It should be a while before I contact her again.¡± He was talking nonsense in all seriousness. Qin Sixia didn¡¯t doubt it at all and only felt a little disappointed, ¡°Oh, so that¡¯s how it is?¡± ¡°Well, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll hang up first. I have things to do.¡± Then, the other party hung up. She put away her cell phone. Perhaps she could go to Building 8 to try her luck. What if she encountered the other party? Moreover, wouldn¡¯t it be a pity if she didn¡¯t make friends with such a talented person? The other party was also the same age as her, was she also¡­ a genius girl? At the same time. Wang Dong was also prepared and headed for Building 8. Of course, he had deliberately prepared these descriptions for Qin Sixia to see. He knew that Qin Sixia was very sensitive and attached great importance to the details. She would definitely be suspicious if he asked to meet her directly. Therefore, he did the opposite and hid all the information about where to find him in the remarks. He knew that these clues would help Sixia find him. ¡­ Night fell. Everything was quiet, but the dormitory building was very lively. Qin Sixia stood in front of Building 8. Her gaze was fixed on the classroom on the rightmost side. Only a weak light came from there. Could that writer really be there? With anticipation and nervousness, she went up one floor after another. When she reached the top floor, she was already a little out of breath. It had been too long since she had exercised. She took a few deep breaths before recovering. Then, she subconsciously lightened her footsteps and arrived at the rightmost classroom. Her throat moved as she wondered what the author of Twilight looked like. Was the other party tall, short, fat, or thin? She was going to find out soon enough. She gently turned the door handle and pushed open the door, only to see a delicate figure. The crisp sound of typing on the keyboard constantly echoed in the classroom. A handsome man in a white shirt was staring at the computer screen intently, his hands proficiently typing on the keyboard. He looked serious, as if he was facing his beloved girl. From time to time, a gentle expression would appear on his face. The cold moonlight shone on him, making him look like a god who pitied the people of the world. At this moment, Qin Sixia had already forgotten to breathe. How did this person look the same as the male protagonist in her novel? He was gentle like jade. Could it be that he was the author of Twilight? But judging from the name, shouldn¡¯t it be a girl? However, it was normal for boys to have a pen name of the opposite sex. Her gaze landed on the manuscript on the table beside her, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. As if she was holding up a treasure, she carefully picked up the manuscript. When she saw that the content was perfectly connected to the novel she had read during the day, she felt inexplicably excited and happy. She felt that this book should have been written by such a person. ¡°Hello, can I take a look?¡± She knew that it was impolite to peek at other people¡¯s novels without permission, so she took the initiative to ask. Wang Dong¡¯s fingers did not stop at all. The two of them were clearly not far away, but it was as if they were separated by a world. Qin Sixia looked at him and only felt that it was pleasing to the eye. With this appearance, no one would doubt him if he said he was a celebrity. To be honest, this was the first time she had seen such a good-looking author. Logically speaking, one¡¯s body would subconsciously hunch over after looking at the computer screen for a long time. Moreover, because authors were usually in a hurry, they don¡¯t have time to dress up. They often had both sloppy appearances and lifestyles. She felt that Wang Dong was an extremely rare case. He sat upright in his seat, his back very straight, looking like a noble young master from a big family. Sixia wondered if he was really a noble. This was because every move he made had an indescribable charm. Even if the other party said that he was from some big family, she wouldn¡¯t find it strange. Seeing that the other party ignored her, she thought that Wang Dong didn¡¯t hear her, so she repeated, ¡°Hello, my name is Qin Sixia. Can I see these manuscripts?¡± Wang Dong stopped and looked at her. Why did she feel that he was unconsciously flirting with her? She even wondered if he was really real. For a moment, her heart rate accelerated again, and a faint blush crawled onto her cheeks and ears. She was almost cooked into a red apple. ¡°Can, can I?¡± Wang Dong opened his thin lips and said, ¡°Up to you.¡± Then, the sound of a keyboard sounded again in the classroom. ¡°Thank you!¡± Qin Sixia thought that he would not easily agree, but he agreed just like that! She was the first reader of his new content. At the thought of this, she was even more excited. Before long, she was completely immersed in the novel. She couldn¡¯t help but sigh. She originally thought that the feelings between humans were the most passionate. However, now, she felt that what was better was the love between supernatural creatures and humans! ¡°Can I know who the female protagonist ends up with in the end? The vampire or the werewolf?¡± She couldn¡¯t wait to know what happened next, but she realized that she had crossed the line. She was just an ordinary reader. It was purely a coincidence that she could find Wang Dong. How could the other party tell her such a secret? She looked at Wang Dong¡¯s indifferent expression and thought to herself if this was the demeanor of a master? As expected of someone who could write such a good novel like Twilight. It was normal for geniuses to not like to talk. She thought that as long as Wang Dong had this focus, he would definitely be able to do well in any industry, right? ¡°Actually, I think the werewolf is not bad either. Speaking of which, if the female protagonist gets together with the male protagonist, won¡¯t the female protagonist end up dying first? At that time, the male protagonist will be left alone to grieve. Well¡­ maybe he¡¯ll end up falling for other women.¡± Why did it feel like the male and female protagonist couldn¡¯t be together? Qin Sixia looked at Wang Dong in anticipation and asked, ¡°If the male and female protagonists get together, will the female protagonist become a vampire in the later stages? Will they have children?¡± Actually, she shouldn¡¯t be blamed for being so talkative. After all, she had just finished reading the novel and had just gotten to the climax before the book ended. This made her imagination run wild. If she was the female protagonist, what would she do? Should she choose the vampire or the werewolf? They both seemed pretty good. ¡°Did you casually come up with the name Stephanie Mel? Or are you mixed-race? I thought you were a foreigner at first, but I didn¡¯t expect you to look Chinese.¡± He explained coldly, ¡°The name was randomly chosen. I¡¯m not mixed blood. I¡¯m pure Chinese.¡± Wang Dong¡¯s face was expressionless. However, he knew that the more he did this, the more Qin Sixia would be interested in him.. Chapter 23 - One Relationship Ends, Another Begins Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Really? I thought your parents had a tragic love story, like how the rich Miss Dai fell in love with a poor kid. Then, because their love wasn¡¯t acknowledged by the family, the two of them eloped to a foreign country.¡± Qin Sixia casually came up with the plot of a fictional story. Wang Dong was a little speechless. Should he say that the other party was indeed worthy of being a novelist? After all, novelists had to be creative. ¡°How many words do you write every day? Do you get tired? If your inspiration dries up, will you still force yourself to write it? Or rather, what method will you use to obtain inspiration? Will geniuses have times when their inspiration dries up? I often get stuck after writing a few paragraphs.¡± Seeing that he didn¡¯t answer, Qin Sixia nagged, ¡°By the way, are you from the literature department? How come I¡¯ve never seen you before? Could it be that you¡¯re younger than me? No way? How long has it been since you conceptualized this book? A few years? Or a few months? I think you¡¯re very impressive. Do you have any specific method you use to increase the quality of your novel?¡± Perhaps because the literary world was a lonely one, after seeing someone like her, Qin Sixia couldn¡¯t help but say a few more words. After a while, she fell silent. She looked at Wang Dong¡¯s side profile seriously. For some reason, it looked better the more she looked at it. This was a feeling she had never felt before. In an instant, an idea flashed in his mind. She started to consider putting Wang Dong into her novel. She even started wondering what kind of background she should fabricate. She thought about turning him into an illegitimate son who wasn¡¯t valued by his family. Because of his circumstances, he wanted to use his writing to create a world that belonged to him! She felt that the plot she came up with didn¡¯t seem too bad. Wang Dong suddenly closed his laptop. His novel was very long, so it was impossible for him to finish it all in one go. It was already not bad that he could upload daily. Seeing that he was about to leave, Qin Sixia also stood up and asked, ¡°Can I come over tomorrow?¡± Wang Dong did not answer her. She looked at Wang Dong¡¯s departing figure and fell into deep thought. Was she being ignored? In the past, no matter where she went, those people would always curry favor with her. At that time, she only felt that it was very annoying and wouldn¡¯t bother with them. Now, had the roles been switched? Was this considered karma? She seemed to have thought of something. She opened the window and shouted downstairs, ¡°If you don¡¯t reply to me, I¡¯ll take it as a yes!¡± Wang Dong only glanced at her before leaving. Qin Sixia smiled. If the other party really hated her, he would definitely refuse. However, even after hearing what she said, Wang Dong did not reply to her. Wasn¡¯t that basically a tacit agreement? The next day. Wang Dong arrived at the familiar spot again, and Qin Sixia had long run over. ¡°Good evening.¡± He ignored her and turned on his laptop to start writing. Seeing his serious expression, Qin Sixia also perked up and prepared to learn something. The two of them worked hard and silently learned. Throughout the entire battle, Qin Sixia also benefited greatly. For some reason, Qin Sixia started to slowly close her eyes. When Wang Dong turned around again, she had already fallen asleep. He closed the laptop and looked at his watch. It was almost time for the appointment. After covering Qin Sixia with a coat, he took advantage of the moonlight to arrive at the entrance of the supermarket. He patted the man in sunglasses and said, ¡°Are you the Mr. Wang who contacted me via Airbnb previously?¡± The man raised his head and sized him up before saying, ¡°Yes. You want to rent my Tokyo-style house?¡± ¡°Yes, if there¡¯s no problem, this money is yours. The extra money is the cost of temporarily adding the bookshelf.¡± Wang Dong took out a few notes, and the man surnamed Wang nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll lend you the house for the time being. In addition, I¡¯ve already prepared all the bookshelves you want. As for the books, you will have to arrange it yourself.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Wang Dong settled everything and rented a room. He placed all the manuscript evidence he had printed in the room. Moreover, it made the room look extremely artistic. The wooden bookcase and the books on the shelf were all works that Qin Sixia liked. Wang Dong wanted her to feel that¡­ Their encounter was destined, and their relationship was a match made in heaven. ¡­ When Qin Sixia woke up again, she saw the exhausted Wang Dong just opening the door. ¡°Did you¡­¡± ¡°Nothing, I just went to the washroom.¡± She didn¡¯t think too much about it. She just thought that Wang Dong had been writing novels all night, which was why he was so tired. In the next few days, Wang Dong basically went to Building 8 to update his novel every day. Qin Sixia was the same. After interacting with him for the past few days, she realized that the author of Twilight was actually her junior. Most importantly, he wasn¡¯t from the literature department. After asking around, she learned that Wang Dong was a genius in the finance department. She had also heard about this matter before. After all, because her mathematics was too bad, Lu Weiming had already talked to her a few times. At the same time, she also learned that Wang Dong had scored full marks for the pre-test and had become a specially hired researcher at the research center at the start of school. At that time, she only thought of the other party as a genius. She thought that the two of them would never cross paths in their lives, but she didn¡¯t expect to end up getting to know him because of Twilight. She probably wouldn¡¯t have dreamed that a mathematics genius was also outstanding in literature! It even made her feel inferior. This was only his first year. This meant that after three years, Wang Dong would only become better. She seemed to have witnessed the rise of a literary genius! At the thought of this, she felt excited again. [Host, there are still three and a half hours left. If you can¡¯t successfully seduce Qin Sixia, you¡¯ll be killed.] The system¡¯s voice was like a death warrant. Wang Dong suppressed the frustration in his heart and said, ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Qin Sixia had yet to react. ¡°I won¡¯t come here to write novels anymore.¡± These words made her heart fall to the bottom. She asked in disappointment and frustration, ¡°Why?¡± She was already used to looking at Wang Dong silently. For some reason, she felt like her heart was now incomplete. She didn¡¯t want to give up meeting him and wanted to continue seeing each other like this. ¡°Can¡¯t you just stay?¡± Before Wang Dong could answer, she continued, ¡°Is our relationship over just like that?¡± She was sad. Wang Dong was also sad. The former was sad because of her buried love. The latter was sad because of money. How could he be willing to die before he made a lot of money? Although he felt bad for this female author, he still wanted to live! ¡°What relationship?¡± He wanted Qin Sixia to admit her feelings for him. He believed that if nothing went wrong, he would definitely succeed this time! Qin Si thought for a moment and said, ¡°¡­The relationship between an author and his reader.¡± ¡°It¡¯s over, but it can still continue if you want it to. However, I hope that we continue with a different relationship.¡± The smile on Wang Dong¡¯s face was so dazzling in the darkness.. Chapter 24 - What Can I Do to Make You Stay Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°What relationship?¡± Their gazes met. Wang Dong suddenly smiled and said, ¡°Have you heard of great friendships?¡± Great friendship was similar to being lovers, but also superior to being lovers. It was like the relationship between Boya and Ziqi, Zhongni and Zi Lu. In other words, it was the relationship between soulmates. This word came from a contemporary novelist, Wang Xiaobo¡¯s work, Golden Age. In that special period in history, the male and female protagonists used great friendship to symbolize love from the bottom of their hearts, but it was also a relationship with ambiguous feelings that was superior to being lovers. Qin Sixia¡¯s pupils constricted. How could she, who was focused on studying literature, not know what he meant? She didn¡¯t mind becoming friends. But she didn¡¯t want to fall in love. She quickly avoided his gaze and said, ¡°Sorry, I already have a boyfriend. He¡¯s an editor of the magazine¡­¡± ¡°I know.¡± These two words stunned Qin Sixia on the spot. She subconsciously looked up at Wang Dong. ¡°You know¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s not good enough for you. He¡¯s a scumbag, you know that?¡± He asked. Obviously, she didn¡¯t know anything. What did Wang Dong mean? Scumbag? Qin Sixia wondered if Wong Dong was talking about Han Xuan. How was this possible? The other party was gentle and considerate. When she was cold, he would resist the cold wind and give her his coat. He didn¡¯t even mind if he ended up getting a fever the next day. Every time she needed him, he would immediately abandon his work to accompany her¡­ How could such a person be a scumbag? But these words came from the person she approved of. For a moment, she didn¡¯t know who to believe. ¡°Han Xuan, editor of the Germinal magazine, right?¡± If Wang Dong didn¡¯t accurately say his name, perhaps she would still have doubts. But now, the truth was right in front of her. The scumbag the other party was talking about was really her boyfriend! Seeing that she was starting to waver, Wang Dong continued to sway her and said, ¡°Do you know that you¡¯re not Han Xuan¡¯s only girlfriend?¡± He handed her the screenshot he had brought out. When Qin Sixia saw the messages on it, her face instantly turned pale! Her boyfriend was actually such a person? ¡°If you want to know more about the truth, come with me.¡± She followed him doubtfully. Seeing that they were getting further and further away, she asked worriedly, ¡°Where are we going?¡± Wang Dong was mysterious and silent. He led the way in front. The place he was heading to was the residential building he had prepared for a long time. That residence was prepared for this moment. Instead of saying it was a room, it was more like the battlefield Wang Dong had prepared for his final battle with Qin Sixia. ¡­ ¡°We¡¯re here.¡± Wang Dong turned the key and opened the door. As soon as Qin Sixia entered, she saw the clean and tidy hall. A warm yellow light was even installed in the corner. A table made of black sandalwood stood there quietly. Thick books were piled on both sides, and in the middle was a half-watched collection of poems. There was also a yellow rosewood chair in front of the table. Initially, there were only four walls here. Everything was either rented or bought by Wang Dong. Qin Sixia walked to the solid wood bookshelf beside the table. With a glance, she saw that all the books he had were the same books she liked. This made her even more certain that Wang Dong was her soulmate. She tried to control her crazily beating heart, but her attempt was fruitless. She looked at the table. Apart from the open book, there was also a stack of printed WeChat screenshots. Her brows immediately furrowed. She picked up these pictures, and her expression became even uglier! Who could tell her why her gentle and considerate boyfriend would want a photo of a strange woman? He even said a bunch of shameless nonsense! These screenshots were naturally Han Xuan¡¯s sweet words to Stephanie Mel. Of course, if there was, Wang Dong had deleted some of his own messages. He didn¡¯t want Qin Sixia to think he was a pervert. ¡°Do you understand now?¡± Han Xuan¡¯s image in Qin Sixia¡¯s heart had already shattered into pieces! No wonder Wang Dong said he was a scumbag. After all, he had been using his identity as an editor to pick up female authors. She quite admired some of the authors. No wonder those people¡¯s expressions were so complicated after learning that Han Xuan was her boyfriend. So that was the case? It was really terrible. Tears fell unconsciously onto these photos. She couldn¡¯t believe that her boyfriend, who she trusted so much, would actually do such a thing! Then didn¡¯t this mean that she had been played like a fool all this time? She suddenly recalled that she had originally invited Han Xuan out to hang out tonight, but he had rejected it with the excuse that he was busy with work. Then what exactly was he doing now? At the thought of this, she quickly took out her cell phone and dialed Han Xuan¡¯s number. A few seconds later, the other party picked up. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, honey?¡± After being disgusted by his words, she asked, ¡°Are you at the office?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll come find you.¡± The moment that was said, the other party hurriedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t come anymore. It¡¯s so late. You should sleep.¡± She suddenly heard a female voice from the other side. ¡°I still have something going on, so I¡¯ll hang up first. Good night.¡± This time, Qin Sixia¡¯s heart was completely cold. In the past, she might have believed the other party¡¯s words, but now, the evidence was in front of her, Han Xuan¡¯s strange attitude and his panting had made her even more certain. Even a fool would know what he was doing! She cried numbly. Wang Dong handed the tissue to her. Qin Sixia turned around and happened to see him reading a poetry collection. The author was Borghese. It was her favorite author. ¡°What can I do to make you stay? I¡¯m willing to sacrifice the street, the desperate sunset, the deserted moon. I¡¯ll sacrifice the sorrow of looking at the lonesome moon for a long time¡­ Before she could finish, Wang Dong reached out and pulled her into his arms. She felt a warm breath behind her ear, and her little face subconsciously blushed. She had never come into such close contact with the opposite sex. ¡°I¡¯ll give you all the understanding contained in my book. And all the masculinity and humor I could find in my life. ¡°I¡¯ll give you the loyalty of someone you¡¯ve never believed in.¡± Wang Dong read the last part of the poem, ¡°What can I do to make you stay?¡±. This was also a disguised confession. Then, would Qin Sixia accept it? She was silent for a moment. Compared to Han Xuan, would things be different if her lover was Wang Dong? After all, they were soulmates! It couldn¡¯t be denied that she had a good impression of Wang Dong. Since Han Xuan was disloyal, why should she care about him? Therefore, she finally stood on her toes and took the initiative to kiss Wang Dong on the chin. [Cheating rate: 100%!] Chapter 25 - Twilight Literature Club Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Qin Sixia¡¯s cheating rate has already reached 100%. Congratulations, host, for successfully seducing a member of the opposite sex within seven days. The host will be rewarded with 80 points and a Binjiang Sea View Villa.¡± The system¡¯s voice followed. Wang Dong was unmoved as he hugged Qin Sixia, as if he was hugging a rock. He sighed deeply in his heart. Did he survive another mission? He looked at the clock on the wall. It was just past midnight. He almost died this time. He asked in his mind, ¡°Can I sell the villa?¡± The Binjiang Sea View villa could be sold for a lot of money. If he could successfully sell it, wouldn¡¯t his business path be much easier? However, the system directly destroyed his fantasy and said, ¡°The villa reward by the system is not for sale. You can¡¯t sell it even if you want to.¡± It looked like he really couldn¡¯t get along with this trash system. He blinked his already sleepy eyelids and secretly yawned. He decisively thought that it was better for him to quickly finish the work and rest. Therefore, Wang Dong said to Qin Sixia, ¡°I want to re-establish the literature club of Lin Liu University. What do you think I should name it?¡± After all, he knew very well that he was useless at naming. Perhaps Qin Sixia, a young girl of literature, could come up with a good name. Qin Sixia pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Twilight, how¡¯s the Twilight Literature Club? It¡¯s both the name of your novel and the symbol of the coming of darkness. This is very nice, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Twilight it is then!¡± The next day. ¡°Have you heard? The author of the novel Twilight is really in our school, and he even established the Twilight Literature Club! He¡¯s recruiting members everywhere now. Do you want to take a look?!¡± ¡°Ah! I¡¯ve heard about this from my senior. The author of the novel seems to be a handsome guy. They say that people who look like celebrities are usually not only good-looking, but also so talented. Such people are really rare in the world!¡± ¡°Did you see the latest follow-up? Why did it end at the climax? My interest was completely aroused. I didn¡¯t sleep well and thought about Edward and Bella all night.¡± ¡°Why are you guys still taking your time here? The first three people who enter the literature club can get the author¡¯s autograph! I heard that it¡¯s already filled with people over there. If we arrive any later, we will be too late!¡± ¡­ In order to recruit members quickly, Wang Dong directly spread the news that the author of Twilight was in the literary club. He believed that with the influence of this novel, those people would definitely flock to join. Apart from that, many people also came to join in the fun because they wanted to know what happened later in the story. Therefore, a long line appeared in the school. ¡°It¡¯s unexpected.¡± Liang Zongguang sighed. As he handed the sign up sheets, he asked, ¡°Why do you want to join the Twilight Literature Club?¡± ¡°Because, because I¡¯m a loyal reader of Twilight¡¯. I like the characters written by the author very much. If I can work with the author, I¡¯ll definitely be deeply honored. This novel is really awesome! Please let me join!¡± He was already used to it. After all, the dozens of people in front of him had similar reasons. When he found out that his good brother was the author of Twilight, he was so shocked that the melon in his hand fell to the ground. How did his good brother become a best-selling author overnight? Moreover, wasn¡¯t Wang Dong a mathematics genius? Why was he so good at writing novels? Only now did he know that God had favored Wang Dong. The difference between a genius and an ordinary person was like a chasm! He was filled with admiration and pride towards Wang Dong. He also felt proud for having him as his friend! Beside him, Ruan Zecheng¡¯s mind was buzzing. When he was still sleeping in the dormitory, Wang Dong had pulled him here to do hard labor. He had to come over to interview the members even though he was still feeling sleepy. He asked weakly, ¡°Why do you want to join the Twilight Literature Club?¡± ¡°Because I really like the novel Twilight¡¯. I originally wanted to get an autograph, but I came too late. After that, I thought that if I could enter the club, I might have a chance to ask the president for an autograph personally.¡± The person paused and said excitedly, ¡°I thought it was only a rumor that the author studies at Lin Liu University, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be true! Edward is simply too handsome! I really love him! I want to know if the female protagonist ends up with him later¡­¡± These words were shot out like a machine gun and the person kept talking non-stop. Only Ruan Zecheng was confused. He didn¡¯t know what Twilight was. Was this book really that good? He had already heard this title countless times today. Could it be that it was really written very well? Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, he hurriedly interrupted, ¡°Alright, alright, alright, I understand. You passed.¡± There wasn¡¯t any real judging criteria. After all, everyone here liked to read, so they could only leave it up to fate. He glanced at the end of the line that he couldn¡¯t see and wondered when they would be able to finish. Moreover, the number of people was still increasing and the end was no longer in sight. On the other side, Qin Sixia was leisurely holding the newly written manuscript and reading with great interest. The more she looked at it, the more she realized that she was on a completely different level from Wang Dong. Wang Dong was a true genius! Now, Wang Dong was like a shining diamond in her eyes. It was impossible for her to ignore. She couldn¡¯t just watch a genius shine in school. At the thought of this, Qin Sixia seemed to have made a major decision. ¡°Wang Dong, I¡¯ll be your literary agent!¡± Wang Dong, who was resting against the wall, was shocked by these words.. He opened his eyes and asked, ¡°Are you sure?¡± Chapter 26 - Movie Copyright Conference Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Could it be that this little girl was shocked by the novel he wrote? ¡°If you were my manager, where would you get the time to write novels?¡± ¡°¡­I¡¯m not writing anymore.¡± Wang Dong put his hands in his pockets and looked at her steadily. He asked, ¡°Why? Are you chickening out?¡± Qin Sixia said with a determined gaze, ¡°It¡¯s not like that. It¡¯s just that I realized that the novels I wrote can¡¯t satisfy me no matter what. In that case, why don¡¯t I give you a push? Now, compared to writing novels, I would rather see you shine!¡± If she became Wang Dong¡¯s manager, she could also be considered to have indirectly cultivated a genius writer! Moreover, she also wanted to see Wang Dong go on stage to receive the award with her own eyes. Did she end up changing her dreams because of Wang Dong? Wang Dong cursed in his heart. To be honest, he didn¡¯t like people who retreated midway. In his opinion, such a person couldn¡¯t accomplish big things! However, since she was retreating for his sake, he could consider it. ¡°Are you sure? Giving up the literature you like¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not giving up! I¡¯m just placing my hopes on you. I¡¯ll help you settle other things. You just have to focus on writing novels. Is that alright?¡± Qin Sixia asked seriously. He scratched the back of his head and said, ¡°Up to you. Then I¡¯ll trouble you in the future.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do a good job!¡± Qin Sixia smiled. The other party trusted her so much, so she naturally couldn¡¯t let Wang Dong down. At the same time. Han Xuan, who didn¡¯t know that he had already been exposed, was watching the rising number intently. His heart couldn¡¯t help but beat faster and faster. He knew that Twilight would become popular, but he didn¡¯t expect it to become so popular so quickly! It had not even been a week, but the sales had already reached a million! This was definitely an unprecedented phenomenal piece of work! Recently, there had also been a lot of people who wanted to contact the author! It was really popular! Han Xuan was so excited that he wanted to contact the other party again, but he didn¡¯t expect to receive the contact of the manager instead. He didn¡¯t mind too much and dialed the number. When he heard the voice on the other side, he was stunned. ¡°This is the manager of the author of Twilight. May I help you?¡± Ever since Qin Sixia became Wang Dong¡¯s manager, her cell phone had never stopped ringing. She didn¡¯t even have the time to sleep, but she didn¡¯t have any complaints about this and was very happy instead. ¡°Sixia?¡± She was stunned for half a second. She looked at her cell phone number again. She had subconsciously picked it up without looking at it first. Thus, she didn¡¯t know the other party was Han Xuan at first. Before she could ask, the other party took the initiative to ask, ¡°How did you become Miss Mel¡¯s manager? When did you guys meet up? Did she say anything strange to you?¡± Was he afraid that she would know the truth? Qin Sixia sneered and said, ¡°Let¡¯s break up, Han Xuan.¡± ¡°W-why?! I didn¡¯t do anything wrong to you, right?¡± Han Xuan still felt that he had a chance and said, ¡°Miss Mel misunderstood what I meant. Don¡¯t take her words to heart!¡± ¡°Han Xuan, I hate people who are disloyal. Let me ask you, when I called you a few days ago, were you in a hotel with someone else?¡± This caused Han Xuan¡¯s mind to go blank. At this moment, he knew that Qin Sixia knew! He tried to explain, ¡°No! I was working overtime in the company that day, you¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re still lying! I heard the panting on the other end. Do you think I¡¯m a fool?! Will it give you a sense of accomplishment to fool me? Scumbag!¡± ¡°In addition, I already know everything about you, including the few girlfriends that you were seeing at the same time, and also the matter of luring minors to bed. I¡¯ll go to the government¡¯s relevant departments to expose your despicable actions.¡± Then, the other party hung up. Han Xuan originally wanted to use his connections to get the author of Twilight to sell the copyright to his friend at a low price because his friend wanted to adapt this novel into a movie. In the end, he didn¡¯t expect that the person who picked up the phone was actually his girlfriend! What was even more terrifying was that the other party actually knew about his secrets! It was over! He didn¡¯t know how much information the other party had. He only knew that if Qin Sixia exposed even one thing about him, it was enough to ruin his reputation. After Qin Sixia hung up, the phone rang again not long after. She said impatiently, ¡°What exactly do you want?¡± ¡°Huh? Are you the manager of the author of Twilight, Miss Qin?¡± When she heard an unfamiliar voice, she realized that it wasn¡¯t Han Xuan. She said apologetically, ¡°Yes, I am. Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯m from the Blue Film Company. Our company wants to buy the movie rights to Twilight. Do you want to find time to talk?¡± Blue Film Company? She remembered that it was a pretty famous company, right? ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll ask the author about this.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble Miss Qin. By the way, I¡¯m looking forward to Twilight getting the New Star Award. I think very highly of you.¡± With that, the other party hung up. If the other party hadn¡¯t mentioned it, she would have forgotten. The New Star Literature Award was an award given to the most outstanding novel of the year. Now, many famous authors that had received this award were also jokingly being referred to as ¡®novel kings¡¯. This was because most of the people who received the award in previous years had become uncrowned kings in the industry! Perhaps they could give it a try. A few days later. Lu Weiming walked into the office with a cup of water and saw the red-haired woman looking at an autograph affectionately, as if she was holding a treasure. ¡°Little Meng? What are you looking at?¡± Meng Xiaoqing returned to her senses and said happily, ¡°Our school has really picked up a treasure. The mathematics genius you and the vice-principal fancy even won an award for publishing a novel! I asked that genius for this autograph not long ago!¡± Lu Weiming was stunned on the spot. He understood the meaning of each word, but why was he a little confused when he connected them? ¡°What do you mean?¡± Meng Xiaoqing explained, ¡°It means that Wang Dong is not only a mathematics genius, but also a literary genius. The fantasy romance novel he wrote was really awesome! I¡¯ve read it even before bed recently. He¡¯s simply a true genius!¡± This stunned Lu Weiming even more. So Wang Dong was very good in both literature and mathematics? ¡°Is the award very impressive?¡± ¡°Of course! The award is only given to the best out of hundreds of thousands of authors. Wang Dong is this year¡¯s novel king!¡± ¡­ The news of Wang Dong winning the award spread throughout the school, and his reputation increased greatly. Most of the people in Lin Liu now knew the name Wang Dong. It was the symbol of genius! At the Student Union. A young girl with two ponytails was eating a baguette.. ¡°I think Matcha is not bad. Is the person sitting at the rightmost front Wang Dong?¡± ¡°Yes, I didn¡¯t expect him to rise so quickly. It hasn¡¯t been long since school started, right?¡± Ning Xi leaned back in her chair tiredly and said, ¡°He¡¯s probably going to be the first freshman to become a division leader, right?¡± She yawned slowly.. Chapter 27 - Becoming the Public Relations Division Leader Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios He saw that Ning Xi had dark circles under her eyes and looked listless. Everyone went over to ask about the situation. ¡°Last night, a sponsor changed his mind at the last minute and said that the investment was going to be suspended. This call actually pulled me out of bed in the middle of the night.¡± ¡°I¡¯m busy trying to get investments every day, I can¡¯t even sleep well.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because your division has fewer people, right? If that genius Wang Dong can really join your division and become a division leader, I think it will be much better.¡± ¡°¡­division leader?¡± Ning Xi muttered. Their division had indeed not had a division leader for a long time. Because it was too difficult for them to choose, everyone remained as secretaries. The seats in the room were now basically full. The people on the seat would gaze at Wang Dong¡¯s position from time to time. As expected, he was the protagonist this time. According to the student council¡¯s process, the election was today. In fact, this meeting was not very important. After all, everyone knew about Wang Dong publishing his novel, obtaining various awards, restructuring the literary club, and bringing a new artistic aura to the school. Wang Dong would definitely be elected as the division leader of the public relations division! ¡°This person is Wang Dong? The author who wrote Twilight? It¡¯s actually a man? I thought that such a delicate author would definitely be a woman, and that pen name also made me think he was a woman.¡± ¡°At first, I also thought it was a woman. Only after I went to the literary club did I know that it was really a man. So even a man is capable of writing such gentle words?¡± ¡°He probably called us over this time for the matter of the division leader, right? It¡¯s been vacant for so long, but now, the position will be filled by a new genius. Will the other officials really be convinced?¡± ¡°Why is it that I heard that those few people from the public relations division don¡¯t want to fight for the division leader position because they¡¯re too lazy? I thought the division leader would definitely be Senior Ning. After all, if you want to say who¡¯s the hardest, it has to be her!¡± ¡­ Although there weren¡¯t many people in the public relations division, the infighting had never stopped. On the surface, it looked harmonious. However, in reality, none of them wanted the other party to advance. After being stuck in this stalemate for a few years, Ning Xi was tired. Not only did she have to pull in investments every day, but she also had to endure the infighting.. What kind of suffering was this? However, Wang Dong¡¯s arrival opened up new hope for the public relations division. The way she looked at him was like she was staring at a golden egg. She even imagined that she would be much more relaxed. When the time came, she might as well hand over the matters regarding the investments to him. She could even take some time off. Every time she recalled the past, she would feel sad. Back then, she only thought that the public relations division was very cool, but she didn¡¯t know that it would be so busy. When others were in class, she also attended class. However, when others were resting, she was busy pulling in investments. She felt like a robot. She was so busy every day that she never had time to rest. It had been a few years since she had a good sleep. Wang Dong, who was being stared at, had a bad feeling. What was going on? Why was she looking at him like that? There was no time to think. After the twin-tailed girl cleared her throat, she said, ¡°Silence.¡± Immediately, the entire place fell silent! Wang Dong remembered that this person should be the president of the student union, Mu Lingxue. She was quite prestigious among the students and was also liked by the teachers. She was a standard top student. ¡°Our student council discussed for a long time and finally decided to choose the new division leader from the various clubs. I believe that the club presidents are very outstanding, but we have to choose the person that is best fit to take on this role, so¡­¡± ¡°The Twilight Literature Club currently has 166 people and has accumulated many achievements. The president of the club even obtained the New Star Literature Award!¡± It could be said that apart from large-scale clubs like the choir, the Twilight Literature Club had the most people. Moreover, the people who joined were all geniuses who were relatively good in the arts. Thus, it will naturally not be a problem for them to win awards. When they saw the awards of each club, they were stunned! The number of awards obtained by the Twilight Literature Club was ten times higher than the awards obtained by the club that came in second. Were these guys monsters? Therefore, there were also rumors outside that a group of geniuses had gathered at the Twilight Literature Club, and Wang Dong was the genius among geniuses! ¡°Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the Twilight Literature Club is undoubtedly the number one club! The president of the club has also made us marvel at his astonishing ability again and again!¡± Mu Lingxue paused for a moment and continued, ¡°Then, from today onwards, Wang Dong will be the division leader of the public relations division. He obtained our full votes and passed! I hope Wang Dong can lead our school to a new peak!¡± Just as she finished speaking, everyone exploded! ¡°Damn! It¡¯s really Wang Dong? I remember that he¡¯s a new student this year, right? The student council actually broke the rules? A freshman becoming a division leader is too rare!¡± ¡°He deserved it. After all, he established a club in a short period of time and obtained results ten times higher than second place in half a month. Wang Dong is a true genius!¡± ¡°In my opinion, geniuses are only good at certain things. I didn¡¯t expect that aside from having good grades, he also manages the club so well. He is simply extraordinary! His future is limitless!¡± ¡°No way! He actually gave the position of division leader to a first-year freshman? On what basis? What do those seniors think of him? Even the president of the student union back then, no matter how outstanding, only got promoted when he was in his second year! I refuse to accept this! I want to protest!¡± ¡­ Some agreed, while others objected. Mu Lingxue swept her gaze over them and said, ¡°Do any of you have any objections?¡± In an instant, those who were clamoring shut up. Even though the president of the student union had always advocated soft policies¡­ However, everyone knew that back then, she would occasionally use might to convince people. One time, she beat up one of the people that went against her until the other party got admitted into a hospital. In her eyes, those who did not listen to her when she spoke nicely deserved to be beat up. Therefore, these people didn¡¯t dare to provoke the president of the student union. ¡°Looks like you guys don¡¯t have any objections. If anyone still isn¡¯t convinced, you¡¯re welcome to come to the martial arts club to have a good chat with me!¡± Martial arts club? Wang Dong touched his chin. He had almost forgotten about the valiant personality of this student council president. Although she looked very cute, she had obtained many gold medals in boxing. It was said that she also knew some taiji, and she was from a martial arts family. In his previous life, she was specially recruited into the army after graduation. He didn¡¯t know what happened later. In any case, her position wouldn¡¯t be low. Mu Lingxue stood up and said, ¡°Then, farewell!¡± Ning Xi blinked at him and said silently, ¡°Little division leader, please take care of me in the future~¡± Then, she left with Mu Lingxue. It was finally over. Wang Dong stretched and let out a breath. He decided that he would go to the Twilight Literature Club to take a look after this. They probably couldn¡¯t wait anymore. ¡°Um¡­ Please wait, Wang Dong.¡± He turned around in confusion. It was a pretty girl in a uniform. ¡°What is it?¡± Wang Dong asked. The person said shyly, ¡°Is the literary club still recruiting? I was away from school a few days ago. When I came back, the recruitment had already ended.¡± ¡°Then you¡¯ll have to wait until next time..¡± Chapter 28 - Discussing Publication, 100,000 First Prints Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Twilight Literature Club. Because there were many people, the venue was chosen in an empty classroom. They were currently in full swing discussing the topic of the day¡ª¡±Dream of the Red Chamber¡±. ¡°I think Wang Xifeng is pretty good. She firmly controls the entire Jia family with her own strength. Although she has done many wicked things, she still did them for her family.¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s for herself, right? As the head of the twelve hairpins in Jinling, Xue Baochai¡¯s ability, looks, and talent are all top notch. Unfortunately, such a good person fell for Jia Baoyu.¡± ¡°At most, Jia Baoyu doesn¡¯t like to study. In my opinion, there¡¯s nothing wrong with him. ¡®m afraid his greatest mistake was being born in an official family, right? His deep love for Lin Daiyu is enough for him to directly become a monk with an ashen heart after learning that Sister Lin had died.¡± ¡­ As Wang Dong listened to their discussion, he kept typing on the keyboard. Qin Sixia silently watched from the side. The two protagonists of the Dream of the Red Chamber made her think of Twilight so she asked, ¡°Will Bella and Edward ultimately get a sad ending?¡± ¡°¡­Why do you think that?¡± Wang Dong asked in return. Qin Sixia looked at him in surprise after hearing his response. She seemed to have found out about something incredible! ¡°Is it really alright for you to tell me that?¡± If this matter got out, those people who were worried about the love between the male and female protagonists would probably sigh in relief. Wang Dong raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled. ¡°Isn¡¯t the ending basically hinted at in the introduction? Like I said, it¡¯s a love story between a human girl and a vampire.¡± If they weren¡¯t together in the end, could that be called love? Only then did Qin Sixia react and say, ¡°I didn¡¯t notice. If that group of people¡­¡± Before she could finish, the classroom door was pushed open. But this still didn¡¯t affect the people in the intense discussion. Song Junyao had been waiting for Wang Dong at the research center, but he never came. Later on, she heard that he was in the club, so she rushed over. Who knew that she would see Wang Dong chatting with another woman?! She had seen that woman in a magazine before. It was the genius writer Qin Sixia! Was Wang Dong not going to the research center to flirt with Qin Sixia? Qin Sixia noticed the person and was momentarily embarrassed. Why was the school beauty of the finance department here? Could it be that Song Junyao also liked Wang Dong? She pointed at the door. ¡°I think someone¡¯s looking for you.¡± Wang Dong turned around and saw the cold-faced Song Junyao. He then looked back at Qin Sixia and said, ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯ll be right back.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± After closing the door, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Song Junyao went straight to the point. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you come to the research center for half a month?¡± She thought that Wang Dong would come to the research center after leaving the library. In the end, she waited there but never saw him. How could she not be angry? What did this person think studying was? Wang Dong maintained his smile. ¡°Did you encounter a problem? I¡¯ve been trying to solve some money problems recently.¡± ¡°Money problems?¡± Song Junyao said suspiciously, ¡°And will you be able to solve those problems by flirting with that senior?¡± It had to be said that Song Junyao was extremely jealous when she saw Wang Dong chatting excitedly with Qin Sixia. She selfishly hoped that Wang Dong only had her by his side. But reality was always different from what she imagined. Why was he working with Qin Sixia instead of with her to solve money problems? Moreover, they didn¡¯t look like they were talking about work. She was confused. Why did the serious Wang Dong suddenly lose his will? In her opinion, Wang Dong had fallen! Did he think that everything would be fine after entering the research center? She was really disappointed in Wang Dong! [Name: Song Junyao] [Profession: Student] [Looks: 90 points] [Status: Single] [Weakness: Admire those that are better than her academically] [Cheating Rate: 95%] Wang Dong hurriedly shouted the system in his heart, ¡°What¡¯s going on? It¡¯s possible for the cheating rate to decrease?¡± ¡°It¡¯s normal. Humans are fickle creatures. They like you one moment and hate you the next. You need Song Junyao to fall in love with you.¡± The system replied emotionlessly. To get her to fall in love with him meant that he had to get the cheating rate to go up to 100%. Wang Dong sighed. How troublesome. Before he could say anything, a young man in a black suit walked over. ¡°Excuse me, are you Mr. Stephanie Mel?¡± Why did it sound strange? Wang Dong said, ¡°My real name is Wang Dong. It¡¯s better not to call me by my pen name.¡± ¡°Mr. Wang! Hello, I¡¯m the manager of the Huaxia Literature Publishing House. I hope to publish Twilight. Our initial estimate is 100,000 copies! As for the cost, we can discuss it later. We will offer at least a million!¡± Huaxia Literature Publishing House was extremely famous in China. The books published were even more abundant. Anthropology, economics, and dissemination books were among them. This was because after years of accumulation, there were also many loyal readers and good credibility. Song Junyao was stunned on the spot. She had also heard about Wang Dong writing novels from others, but she didn¡¯t expect him to be so impressive! At least, not long ago, she had thought that Wang Dong was not doing proper work by writing novels. She felt that Wang Dong should have placed his talent in scientific research instead. Could it be that Wang Dong felt that the money provided by scientific research was too little, so he chose to write novels? Was it because he wanted to get sufficient funds and invest them all wholeheartedly into his research? She suddenly recalled what she just said. A while ago, she had accused Wang Dong of wasting time by flirting with the senior. She now remembered that she had heard that Qin Sixia had become his manager. Perhaps the two of them were discussing the book publication just now? However, despite what she said, it seemed Wang Dong was still not angry. She felt that it must be because his temper was too good. She suddenly felt terrible for being disappointed in Wang Dong just now. After all, he had been busy with various things every day, but she actually lost her temper because he didn¡¯t go to the research center? She really wanted to go back to the past and slap herself! This was not proper work? If this was not proper work, then how could the scientific research she did be considered as proper work? It was ridiculous! If Wang Dong could hear her thoughts, he would definitely explain that he wasn¡¯t angry because he didn¡¯t like Song Junyao at all. After all, why should he care about the opinions of outsiders? In his heart, Song Junyao was at most a qualified employee. However, he did not know what she was thinking at this moment. Therefore, he saw Song Junyao¡¯s interface change without understanding why. [Name: Song Junyao] [Profession: Student] [Looks: 90 points] [Status: Single] [Weakness: Admire those that are better than her academically] [Cheating Rate: 100%] ¡°Why did it increase again? Is there something wrong with this system?¡± This time, even the system was confused.. Chapter 29 - Collaboration Success Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°¡­Please don¡¯t worry, host. There won¡¯t be any problems with the system. I can only say that Song Junyao is too fickle.¡± Song Junyao had thought of a perfect excuse for Wang Dong¡­ She felt that the reason why she couldn¡¯t help him was because she was too useless. In the end, they had to rely on Wang Dong¡¯s part-time job as a novelist for them to seek a future as scientific researchers! At the thought of this, she admired Wang Dong even more. ¡°Sorry, I was too impulsive previously. I¡¯ll definitely develop new things! I¡¯ll go back to the research center first. Take your time.¡± Wang Dong: ¡°?¡± What the hell? He had not said anything, right? Why did it feel like Song Junyao was imagining a bunch of things herself? ¡°Mr. Wang? What do you think?¡± The man in a suit asked tentatively. Wang Dong returned to his senses and cleared his throat. ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯ll go discuss with someone first.¡± With that, he returned to the club. The club members were still discussing intensely. He waved at Qin Sixia, and the two of them entered the single room inside one after another. ¡°Huaxia Literature Publishing House is here to discuss the book. I want to hand this matter to you.¡± Previously, Twilight was published in magazines, so it was a good thing that it could be published as a book now. She said nervously, ¡°But I¡¯m not good at discussing numbers. My mathematics is very bad so I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll do a good job. Why don¡¯t we invite the teacher over?¡± ¡°This is inevitable. You should learn it too.¡± Wang Dong had often discussed cooperation with others in his previous life, so he was not unfamiliar with these things. Qin Sixia¡¯s mind was in a mess. Why did he have to assign this to her? ¡°Then how should we split the publishing rights?¡± After hearing the three words ¡°publishing rights¡±, Wang Dong helplessly held his forehead and said, ¡°The right to publish is not a simple right. It is divided into many sub categories. For example, paper publication is different from audio books and e-books. Adaptations into comics, animations, and movies all involve different rights.¡± Qin Sixia was from the Chinese department and didn¡¯t know much about publishing. After hearing that, she lowered her head in shame. After all, she was the one who said she wanted to be the manager. In the end, she knew nothing. Wang Dong paused for a moment and continued, ¡°When the time comes, you can tell that person that you will only give the replication and distribution rights of the Chinese mainland. We¡¯ll get sixty percent, and they¡¯ll get forty percent.¡± Originally, 50-50 was the safest method. But this was Twilight after all. Since the other party came over and even offered to print so many copies, they must have recognized the potential. Therefore, 60% was definitely not a problem. ¡°Oh, I understand! I¡¯ll tell him now.¡± Qin Sixia worshiped Wang Dong even more. She didn¡¯t expect the other party to know so much. As expected of a genius! He added, ¡°Wait, there¡¯s still the copyright. Let¡¯s let them have it for five years first. If they want to continue after that, we¡¯ll ask for seventy percent then.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Therefore, the two of them walked out again. Wang Dong stood at the side, in case Qin Sixia said something wrong. In the end, the two parties signed the right to publish the book for six years, but the 60 to 40 split made the man in the suit hesitate for a long time. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯m sure this book will become popular. It¡¯s not impossible for us to do Mr. Wang a favor. I hope we can reach a long-term cooperation.¡± It was definitely not a loss for them. After all, they got to tie down an author with limitless potential. ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± The two of them held hands for a few seconds before letting go. Qin Sixia¡¯s worried heart finally relaxed. Negotiation was too difficult! ¡°By the way, is Mr. Wang free? I want to hold a signing event to attract more traffic. Your appearance isn¡¯t bad either. What do you think?¡± How could Wang Dong refuse a chance to increase his reputation? ¡°No problem.¡± As soon as this news was released, many venues contacted the publishing firm overnight. They all wanted the signing event of Twilight to be held at their place! Even a fool knew that this event would bring the place a huge amount of traffic! Traffic represented consumers. As long there were consumers, there would be unimaginable economic benefits! Not to mention a novel as popular as Twilight. The sales it could bring was even five or six times higher than other books! Who didn¡¯t want to pick up such a good opportunity?! Therefore, various bookstores, cafes, and others were already competing for it! They all hoped to capture this large-scale activity in their hands! At the same time. As the division leader of the public relations division, it was time for Wang to get sponsors for the upcoming Welcome Gala. The so-called sponsorship was just them asking a certain merchant to sponsor an activity organized by the school. The advantage was that the merchant¡¯s name would be advertised. Take the University Singer Competition for example. If it was sponsored by a cafe at the university entrance named Cat Plus Cafe, the title of the competition would becomeo Cat Plus University Singer Competition. There would also be banners from the Cat Plus Cafe and various other signs. Therefore, some businesses were willing to support it. After all, such advertising methods were able to convert some of the students into consumers. However, there were also businesses who felt that it wouldn¡¯t produce much effect, so they chose to be stingy! In the activity room of the public relations division. Although it was called an activity room, it was actually a storage room. As there was no one around for a long time, the school placed the extra things inside. At this moment. three boys sat in their chairs, their expressions seeming a little ugly. The person on the left said, ¡°It¡¯s strange. In terms of qualifications, no matter what, it should be our turn to be the division leader. After all, we¡¯re second year students. And yet we¡¯re being suppressed by a little brat who just entered school! In my opinion, this position should belong to Brother Lei!¡± ¡°Yeah! I even suspect that someone in the Student Union is that kid¡¯s relative. Otherwise, how could he become a division leader in his first year? Although I heard that his studies are pretty good, being a division leader isn¡¯t something that can be done just because you¡¯re good at studying!¡± The person on the right said angrily, ¡°Yeah, so what if they got the most awards? I think that the so-called literary club deliberately only recruited geniuses, right? Otherwise, how could it have gotten so many awards?!¡± This was really a misunderstanding. When Liang Zongguang and Ruan Zecheng recruited people, they didn¡¯t really have a specific criteria.. The reason there were so many top students was because there were a lot of top students in the queue. That day was the day of the supplementary exam. Even if those with poor grades wanted to join, they had no choice but to obediently take the exams in the classroom. Lei Jiacheng frowned and said, ¡°The student union is also supported by the teachers. I think that boy¡¯s grades are good, so he won the teacher¡¯s favor. After the student union brought it up, how could the teacher have any objections?¡± ¡°Brother Lei, did someone hit the corners of your mouth?¡± The person on the left was confused. The more Lei Jiancheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He accidentally pulled the wound on the corner of his mouth and then gasped, ¡°Damn it! It was beaten up by that bastard Mu Lingxue!¡± The other two widened their eyes. ¡°Brother Lei, don¡¯t tell me you really went to the martial arts club to look for her?¡± The person on the right asked in disbelief. The answer was obvious. Lei Jiacheng said unhappily, ¡°Yes, I wanted to have a good talk with her. The election of a first-year division leader this time violated the rules. I wanted to get an explanation, but in the end, I was beaten up by that Mu Lingxue!¡± And it was completely a one-sided beating. ¡°I¡¯ve already thought of a way to deal with that kid. How dare he snatch the position of division leader from a senior.. I¡¯ll definitely make him pay the price!¡± Chapter 30 - Getting a Sponsorship From a Stingy Boss? Make a Bet! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When Wang Dong saw that only the [Hellens Music Bar] did not sponsor them, he looked up and asked, ¡°You guys did this on purpose?¡± There were many different types of people in the bar. Apart from that, he also heard that the people from the public relations division had tried to get a sponsorship, but in the end, no one had gotten a single cent of sponsorship from their boss. It could be said their boss was extremely stingy. Wasn¡¯t this a huge problem for him? Lei Jiacheng didn¡¯t deny it either. He mocked and ridiculed, ¡°Since the student council strongly recommended you, a freshman, to become a division leader, you should at least prove your worth, right? Otherwise, how will you convince others?¡± ¡°You have to be careful or you¡¯ll get pulled down from your position. When that happens, you will become a joke instead of a genius! Hahahaha, don¡¯t you think so, Rui, Jiaze?¡± Ah Rui chimed in, ¡°Brother Lei is right. After all, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be a division leader, especially in our public relations division. Firstly, you don¡¯t have the qualifications, and secondly, you don¡¯t have the ability. Why should we submit to you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! If you can¡¯t take it anymore, then hurry up and quit. Go back to the research center where you belong! We¡¯ve also contributed a lot to the development of the public relations division for it to grow to its current scale, so why should we let you take advantage of our hard work!¡± Jiaze said unhappily. They were the three people who had been chatting in the activity room previously. It was obvious that they were still unconvinced. What kind of person had Wang Dong not seen before? How could he be afraid of these three little brats who had yet to even enter society? ¡°So, why don¡¯t you guys talk to the president of the student union?¡± These words directly hit Lei Jiacheng¡¯s sore spot, and his expression instantly became ferocious. Wang Dong said with a smile, ¡°Looks like you¡¯ve already met with her, right? Then, as expected, you were beaten up by the president. Did she say something to you? For example¡­¡± ¡°You useless bastard.¡± He knew that Mu Lingxue had always looked down on people like Lei Jiacheng. She probably wasn¡¯t very polite with him. Lei Jiacheng clenched his fists and said fiercely, ¡°Is this the attitude you should have towards your senior?¡± ¡°As seniors, should you be bullying a junior like me in the first place?¡± Wang Dong¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness. ¡°Is your life very unsatisfying? Is that why you can only rely on such shady methods?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Veins popped up on Lei Jiacheng¡¯s forehead because Wang Dong had hit the nail on the head! Wang Dong didn¡¯t understand how the other party dared to talk back given their low mental fortitude. Wang Dong glanced at the other two and they subconsciously lowered their heads like children who had made a mistake. ¡°Let me tell you first, I¡¯m definitely going to be the division leader!¡± His tone was so firm that it made them wonder if he really had such ability? Lei Jiacheng grinned and said with a cold smile, ¡°It¡¯s impossible for you to get the sponsorship of the Hellens Music Bar! Do you think we were the only ones who tried? In fact, even the club teacher has been there, but it¡¯s still useless. Don¡¯t tell me you think you¡¯re better than the teacher?¡± The club teacher was famous in school for being able to pull in sponsors. This teacher had succeeded every time. However, even this teacher was unable to get the Hellens Music Bar sponsorship. Wang Dong didn¡¯t answer him. He just stared at the words in his hand. Lei Jiacheng sneered and said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re afraid? I think you should go home and find Mommy to drink milk!¡± The three of them couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Wang Dong was indifferent to this. His expression only turned slightly cold. ¡°I¡¯ll get the sponsorship.¡± ¡°What!?¡± Lei Jiacheng was first stunned, then he said disdainfully, ¡°With just you? You don¡¯t even know the way and want to fly? What big words! I originally wanted you to take the initiative to abdicate. That way, things won¡¯t be so difficult. Since you insist, let¡¯s make a bet.¡± Wang Dong spread his hands and said, ¡°Alright, what¡¯s the bet?¡± He wanted to see what tricks this person could play! ¡°I think you¡¯ve heard of this saying: The capable come first. I think that the division leader of the public relations division should be someone with strong business abilities. Therefore, we¡¯ll compete to see who can get more sponsors. The bet is the position of division leader! Do you dare to accept this bet?¡± Lei Jiacheng said with ill intentions. Jiaze immediately said, ¡°In order to prevent you from thinking that we¡¯re cheating, I¡¯ll let you know in advance. Brother Lei is the second most impressive person in our public relations division when it comes to getting sponsorships! Up to now, he has already pulled in tens of thousands of yuan worth of sponsorship!¡± The owner of the bar was known to be a stingy person in the vicinity. This owner probably wouldn¡¯t pay much even if he was willing to pay the sponsorship fee. Wang Dong didn¡¯t panic at all. He leisurely asked, ¡°Then who¡¯s first?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s Big Sister Ning Xi!¡± After Rui blurted out this sentence, he immediately received Lei Jiacheng¡¯s death gaze. Then, he hurriedly added, ¡°But our Brother Lei isn¡¯t bad either. I believe that before long, Brother Lei can replace Big Sister and become first place!¡± Lei Jiacheng nodded slightly in satisfaction. ¡°Even so, do you still want to bet with me?¡± ¡°Of course. I¡¯ve always been lucky.¡± In his previous life, Wang Dong had pulled in many sponsorships. Compared to the secretaries in the public relations division, his experience could be considered very rich. Seeing that he agreed so readily, Lei Jiacheng was a little confused. Why was Wang Zheng so calm? Could it be that he had a trump card? Wang Dong was just an ordinary freshman. He had no connections or eloquence. Where did he get his confidence from? Indeed, in Lei Jiacheng¡¯s heart, the other party was just a simple literary genius. Usually, shouldn¡¯t such a nerd be unable to speak clearly and not even know how to tie his shoelaces? In any case, Lei Jiacheng had never seen a person who was good at mathematics and had good eloquence! So what if his novel was famous? Reality was nothing like novels. He seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°You want to use the money from the research center? I heard that the vice-principal promised you a salary of 30,000 yuan per month. However, if you use the money you earned there to cover for the sponsorship, that¡¯s equivalent to breaking the rules. If this matter gets out, I think you¡¯ll be so embarrassed you¡¯ll have to quit school, let alone leave the public relations division! Haha!¡± Indeed, using his own salary as a sponsor was not only a loss for him, but also a little disgraceful. The other party taking the initiative to raise this rule had basically cut off Wang Dong¡¯s escape route. It wasn¡¯t that Wang Dong didn¡¯t expect Lei Jiacheng to say this. The corners of his mouth curled up as he said, ¡°I naturally have other ways to get sponsorship. Just you wait.¡± With that, he left. Rui said worriedly, ¡°Brother Lei, could he really make the lady boss pay that much?¡± Lei Jiacheng said very confidently, ¡°Listen to him brag! That lady boss isn¡¯t someone who can be easily settled! Let¡¯s wait for him to return empty-handed!¡± Lei Jiacheng patted his chest and guaranteed that from the moment Wang Dong agreed to the bet, he would definitely lose! ¡°Lei Jiacheng, you¡¯ve really grown up. You can even bully your juniors? And Rui and Jiaze, do you guys not have anything to do?¡± A female voice came from afar. It was Ning Xi¡¯s voice.. Chapter 31 - The Lady Boss of the Bar Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ning Xi happened to want to come back and get something, but she heard the conversation between the few of them. After Lei Jiacheng saw her, his previous aura instantly disappeared. ¡°Could it be that you¡¯re very satisfied with this boy? No matter what, the position of division leader should be yours. Why should it be snatched away by such a new student? Could it be that you¡¯re fine with this?¡± The completely different attitude from before and after made the others a little stunned. Rui and Jia Ze sighed at the same time. Brother Lei¡¯s wasn¡¯t so gutsy after all. ¡°If you have the ability, create a club too and get a bunch of awards in a short period of time! I see that all you guys are thinking about are crooked ideas all day long! Do you think that because your quota this month has already been achieved, you have the time to slack off?¡± Ning Xi took the coat from the chair and said, ¡°The position of division leader is Wang Dong¡¯s. You guys better give up.¡± ¡°What?! Why are you on his side?¡± Lei Jiacheng said unhappily. Although their relationship was not very good, they had also interacted for several years. The other party still had to save him some face, right? Ning Xi laughed coldly. ¡°Heh, do you really think you¡¯re a big shot? You¡¯re the one who¡¯s full of yourself despite the lack of ability. Why are you still here?! Go get sponsors for me!¡± Rui and Jiaze ran out with Lei Jiacheng. In fact, the reason why she didn¡¯t stop this bet was also because she wanted to see what Wang Dong¡¯s limit was. The legendary genius¡­ Was he really that impressive? On the other side, at the Hellens Music Bar. Wang Dong had just walked in when the noisy music almost shattered his eardrums! He looked at the men and women swaying from side to side and didn¡¯t know where to start. Therefore, he squeezed through the crowd with difficulty and arrived at the bar counter. ¡°Mission: Please seduce Fang Shiwan within seven days. There are no restrictions. I suggest you complete it as soon as possible. If you fail, you¡¯ll be killed!¡± The system even specified the target this time. The missions would probably be harder and harder in the future. Moreover, who was Fang Shiwan? The moment he raised his head, this question was also answered. [Name: Fang Shiwan] [Profession: Boss of the Hellens Music Bar] [Looks: 88 points] [Love Situation: Married] [Weakness: Money] [Cheating Rate: 48%] A beautiful woman with light makeup was wearing a sexy leather skirt. The black silk stockings accentuated her slender legs, and her whole body emitted a mature aura. She was reading a book. Wang Dong narrowed his eyes. That book looked a little familiar. ¡°Are you the boss here, Madam Fang?¡± After hearing the voice, Fang Shiwan closed her book and said gently, ¡°Little Brother, are you a student from a nearby university? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen you here before.¡± ¡°This is my first time here today.¡± Wang Dong explained. Fang Shiwan looked enlightened. ¡°Then I recommend the dolphin love cocktail I designed. Do you want to try it? It¡¯s not that strong.¡± ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Shiwan took out a few colorful bottles and placed them on the table. Then, she quickly brought out a blue cocktail. ¡°Please enjoy.¡± After Wang Dong received the cocktail, he directly drank it in one gulp. A minty taste rushed into his taste buds, followed by a bone-chilling cold. Finally, he tasted sweetness before his mouth slowly returned to its warmth. It was truly the love of a dolphin. He sighed and said, ¡°It tastes very good.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Fang Shiwan smiled and said, ¡°Which faculty are you from? You look like a math guy.¡± Wang Dong put down his cup and replied, ¡°The finance department.¡± She was a little surprised. ¡°I suppose you¡¯re a genius then? Your future is limitless!¡± ¡°Barely.¡± If these words were heard by the people in the school, they would definitely complain: If Wang Dong wasn¡¯t considered a genius, then there wouldn¡¯t be a genius in this world. He paused and said, ¡°I¡¯m the division leader of the public relations division.¡± The public relations division? Fang Shiwan immediately understood. ¡°I heard that this division hasn¡¯t had a division leader for a long time. I didn¡¯t expect you to become the new division leader. Then you must be very outstanding.¡± She had also heard about the selection of the division leader in the public relations division. She sized up Wang Dong again and said, ¡°Why haven¡¯t I seen you in the club before?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a freshman this year.¡± Wang Dong replied. Fang Shiwan looked at him in shock. A freshman was elected as the division leader? Wasn¡¯t that considered extremely outstanding? Soon, she recovered her calm and said, ¡°No wonder, but you should give up. I won¡¯t agree to the sponsorship. It¡¯s useless no matter how many times you come.¡± Obviously, she didn¡¯t take Wang Dong seriously. Wang Dong asked with a smile, ¡°Are you really not going to consider it? There¡¯s a possibility that Hellens will become even more famous.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say so yourself? It¡¯s just a possibility.¡± Fang Shiwan couldn¡¯t help but blush when she saw his face. She cleared her throat a few times and said, ¡°Although you¡¯re the most handsome among the people who came, I¡¯ve never made a deal that would lose me money. If it were anyone else, I would have forced them out the moment they said they were from the public relations division.¡± It seemed like his face had its advantages. Wang Dong thought to himself. ¡°Can you tell me your reason?¡± Humans were all visual creatures. Who didn¡¯t like to communicate with good-looking people? Fang Shiwan asked patiently, ¡°You didn¡¯t investigate my neighborhood?¡± Wang Dong nodded and immediately understood what she meant. She explained, ¡°Lin Liu University is located in a remote area, and Hellens is the only bar in this area. As long as students want to come to the bar, they will definitely choose Hellens. This is a natural advantage.¡± The fact that it was the only bar was the main reason why she never offered any sponsorships. Since Hellens had a monopoly here, there was no need for them to advertise. Fang Shiwan continued, ¡°I know that it might attract some other students, but the effect is minimal. After all, they¡¯re all students. How much spare money can they have in their pockets? In other words, there¡¯s no need for me to spend money to promote the bar in Lin Liu University at all. Do you understand?¡± This was a little difficult. Wang Dong touched his chin and asked, ¡°What do you need now?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need anything¡­¡± Fang Shiwan thought of something and said, ¡°What I need now is a new customer source. I hope to promote the reputation of Hellens, but you probably can¡¯t do this, so forget it.¡± After seeing this scene, the three lazy people who had followed over all laughed! Lei Jiacheng said, ¡°Hahahaha! I knew that this lady boss wasn¡¯t easy to settle! You still didn¡¯t believe me! Look, our genius has finally suffered!¡± ¡°Yeah! I have to remember this scene forever in my heart. So the so-called geniuses aren¡¯t omnipotent either! What an ignorant junior!¡± Rui echoed.. Chapter 32 - So Youre a Book Fan Interested in the Signing Event? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Jiaze laughed until he was almost out of breath. ¡°I already said it¡¯s very difficult, but you still insist on trying. Look, you¡¯re definitely going to lose! I think if you really know what¡¯s good for you, you should hurry up and abdicate! How embarrassing!¡± A few girls also came over. ¡°What to do? What to do? A huge crisis! If the president doesn¡¯t succeed this time, won¡¯t he be a laughing stock?¡± ¡°Then we can¡¯t help much either. Although this lady boss is usually very gentle, once money is involved, there¡¯s no room for discussion at all.¡± ¡°Those three are so annoying. They don¡¯t think of how to resolve this. All they know is to laugh at Wang Dong! President, you mustn¡¯t lose to them!¡± ¡­ At this moment, Qin Sixia squeezed over with difficulty. She leaned on the bar and let out a long sigh. She swore that if it wasn¡¯t necessary, she wouldn¡¯t come to such a damn place in her lifetime! Not only was it noisy, but there were also many people. She was almost taken advantage of just now. Fortunately, she slipped away quickly. Wang Dong asked in confusion, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°There are already a few reservation plans for the location of the Twilight¡¯s signing event. Zhuo Chao Residence, Ruijin Manor, Xuan Zhu Hotel, the Great Concealment Book Bureau, Knowledge Bank Book Store¡­ I think that¡¯s all I can do for the time being. There are also many other venues that are interested, but there are really too many. I can only pick some famous ones.¡± Just as Qin Sixia said, the hotels and clubs she announced were relatively famous in China. She took a breath and said, ¡°Which one will you choose? Once you make your decision, I¡¯ll immediately reply to those people.¡± Wang Dong pondered for a moment. Before he could say anything, a surprised voice sounded from the side. ¡°Wait! You, you¡¯re Stephanie Mel?!¡± Fang Shiwan widened her eyes in disbelief. The author she liked was right in front of her?! How unbelievable was this! It was as if happiness had descended from the sky! Was today her lucky day? She only thought she was casually entertaining a guest. She didn¡¯t expect that the other party was her favorite author. Wang Dong raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Fang Shiwan felt that she was dreaming. She asked uncertainly, ¡°Are you really Stephanie Mel, the author of Twilight?¡± ¡°Yes, unless there¡¯s another Twilight I¡¯ve never heard of.¡± Wang Dong was glad that Qin Sixia had arrived in time. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t know how to prove that he was the author of Twilight. Since the beginning, he had seen the novel in Fang Shiwan¡¯s hand. At that time, he had thought about leveraging the fact that he was the author of Twilight to reach a cooperative relationship with the other party. He just didn¡¯t expect the plan to go so smoothly. Fang Shiwan quickly took out her book and pen, completely acting like a little girl. ¡°Can you give me an autograph? I really like your book!¡± Wang Dong didn¡¯t think much of it, so he picked up a pen and signed his name on the book. Then, he wrote three more words¡ªTo Fang Shiwan. ¡°Is this alright?¡± Fang Shiwan covered her mouth and nodded excitedly. ¡°Thank you!¡± She thought that the people who wrote novels were usually more reclusive. She didn¡¯t expect Wang Dong to be so easy to communicate with. For a moment, it made her like Wang Dong a lot more. She recalled the bidding meeting that she couldn¡¯t squeeze into no matter how hard she tried. Now that the author was in front of her, wasn¡¯t this her chance? After all, in order to seize this opportunity, the other venues had basically gone crazy. The price they offered was also constantly increasing. In the beginning, she could still keep up, but later, she directly became a bystander. She couldn¡¯t help but feel a little disappointed. She was a crazy fan of this book. If she could meet the author, she would have no regrets even if she died. Unfortunately, she didn¡¯t have his contact information. But it was different now! Fang Shiwan looked at the young man in front of her with shining eyes. Could it be that the heavens had heard her prayers? ¡°Can you hold the signing event here?¡± Her attitude immediately underwent a 180-degree change. There was worship and respect in her eyes. Wang Dong thought for a moment and asked, ¡°Can I hear your plan first?¡± If she wasn¡¯t prepared, he might as well hand it to someone else. Fang Shiwan suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, ¡°I plan to hold a costume party related to vampires and werewolves with the theme of Twilight. The waiters will become vampires and werewolves. The guests can pick the waiters they want to serve them and we will also hand out small gifts at the door when they come in.¡± ¡°For example, we can give away props like werewolf¡¯s ears or tail, as well as a red tomato juice. In addition, there will be other small gifts, but I haven¡¯t thought of what they would be at the moment. Apart from that, the food and drinks that day will also be different. I also plan to invite a band over to make the bar more lively¡­¡± At the mention of this, she talked non-stop about her plan. She only stopped when her mouth was a little dry. She asked tentatively, ¡°What do you think?¡± Wang Dong shrugged. ¡°Very good.¡± Just from the sound of it, one could tell that Fang Shiwan¡¯s plan was very detailed and perfect. Instead of calling it a signing event, it was more like a banquet organized by fanatic book fan. He paused and continued, ¡°You should give away blue crystal bracelets. I¡¯ll give you the design when the time comes.¡± In other words, he had agreed to place the location in Hellens. Fang Shiwan smiled happily. What could be better than hearing that the author liked her ideas? ¡°Is that crystal bracelet something that will appear in the storyline later?¡± Wang Dong nodded slightly. ¡°It¡¯s a gift from Edward to Bella.¡± ¡°Gift!?¡± Fang Shiwan was even more excited. She seemed to have learned something incredible. ¡°This is awesome! Your idea is perfect! I like your novels so much. By the way, can you update more? The daily updates are not enough for me to read.¡± This was probably what all the readers were thinking. Wang Dong helplessly said, ¡°I¡¯m already doing my best. This kind of thing can¡¯t be rushed.¡± ¡°I understand, I understand. What if the contents collapse because you rushed it? You should take it slow.¡± Fang Shiwan said in understanding, ¡°However, the love between the male and female protagonists really makes me scratch my heart and lungs. If they get married, I¡¯ll definitely set off fireworks to celebrate!¡± It would probably be especially noisy that day. Wang Dong cursed in his heart. ¡°There¡¯s something else I want to discuss with you¡­¡± ¡°Sure! No problem!¡± Before he could finish, Fang Shiwan interrupted him. She quickly realized her rudeness and said, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m a little too excited. Please, go ahead and say it..¡± Chapter 33 - He Got the Sponsorship? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°I want you to sponsor the school¡¯s Welcome Gala. Of course, I¡¯ll definitely put the name of the bar on the stage. On the day of the signing event, you¡¯ll tell them that it¡¯s going to be an evening show. As long as they come over, everything will be discounted and the drinks will be free. What do you think?¡± After all, most consumers liked a good deal. If it was free, there would definitely be a lot of people coming. Of course, the bar wouldn¡¯t suffer a loss either. In this way, both parties would benefit from each other. With the venue and sponsorship, the bar would also attract new customers. Fang Shiwan naturally thought of this too. She smiled and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s have a pleasant cooperation. As for the date, why don¡¯t we set it in three days.¡± The two of them reached out and shook hands for a few seconds. Then, she took out a thick stack of cash and said, ¡°There¡¯s a total of 300,000 yuan. It¡¯s enough for you to hold your school¡¯s Welcome Gala in a luxurious manner. Consider it a thank you.¡± Wang Dong didn¡¯t expect her to be so generous. ¡°Fang Shiwan¡¯s infidelity rate has already reached 100%. Congratulations to the host for successfully seducing the target in seven days. The host is rewarded with 100 points, as well as [Music Talent Capsule], [Golden Voice Singer], and [Guitar Master] with free Billboard top 500 songs!¡± Oh my, there were so many rewards in the system this time. Did it take out all of its trump cards for him? [Name: Fang Shiwan] [Profession: Boss of the Hellens Music Bar] [Looks: 88 points] [Love Situation: Married] [Weakness: Money] [Cheating Rate: 99%] Fang Shiwan said shyly, ¡°I¡¯ll definitely come and see you then.¡± Huh? Wang Dong tried his best to maintain the smile on his face and cursed silently, ¡°This seems to be even worse. Qin Sixia seems to be gazing fiercely at me. What kind of hell is this?¡± He wanted to cry but had no tears. If he could earn money, he wouldn¡¯t have to provoke so many women! ¡°¡­Thank you.¡± To his surprise, a name card appeared in his hand in the next second. Fang Shiwan curled her hair and said, ¡°If you¡¯re lonely, call me anytime. I¡¯ll let you discover the beauty of this world.¡± Wang Dong looked at her, speechless. Could it be? He was still a child, and yet Fang Shiwan was making a move on him? It was a little immoral. He looked at the name card and didn¡¯t know whether to return it or accept it. He would rather use the time to earn more money. ¡°This¡­¡± To be honest, he had never felt like fleeing from Earth as quickly as he did now. Qin Sixia¡¯s expression became even uglier. ¡°Lady Boss, he¡¯s still a university student, and you already have a family, right?¡± Wang Dong thanked Qin Sixia for helping him out. He was really not interested in women. He would rather earn money and start a business. ¡°So what if I have a family? Don¡¯t some men like mature women like me? I¡¯m not like you, you know. I can tell at a glance that you¡¯re a little girl.¡± With that, Fang Shiwan even squeezed her proud breasts. ¡°You¡¯re all legal at this age, right? It¡¯s fine as long as you¡¯re not underage. Moreover, you¡¯re not his girlfriend. What right do you have to decide for him?¡± As expected of a mature woman? Such women were just difficult to deal with. The other party was still secretly flirting with Wang Dong, but he looked away as if he hadn¡¯t noticed anything. ¡°I¡­!¡± Qin Sixia didn¡¯t know what to say either. She liked Wang Dong, but it was difficult for her to tell if Wang Dong liked her. They seemed to be more than friends, but they didn¡¯t seem to have reached the stage of lovers. She blushed and asked, ¡°A-aren¡¯t you embarrassed for seducing a boy so much younger than you?¡± Fang Shiwan said self-righteously, ¡°What¡¯s there to be embarrassed about? I can seduce whoever I want, what has it got to do with you? Oh ~ Are you envious of my affinity with men?¡± Seeing that the two were about to fight, Wang Dong hurriedly got up and said, ¡°We still have something to do. We¡¯ll leave first. We¡¯ll meet again on the day of the signing event.¡± He left the bar with Qin Sixia and said, ¡°Help me reject the other venues. I still have to meet up with the people from the public relations division.¡± Seeing that his reason was legitimate, Qin Sixia didn¡¯t try to stop him. Instead, she nodded and walked out of the bar. Wang Dong went to the three of them with a thick envelope and said, ¡°Do you still have any objections to my position as division leader?¡± ¡°How, how is this possible?!¡± Lei Jiacheng looked at the thick stack of Grandpa Mao and widened his eyes in disbelief. He had only gone to the washroom and it had only been a while. How did Wang Dong manage to get the money? This was something that even the club teacher couldn¡¯t do! How could a mere new student be more capable than them, these seniors? If this got out, where would he put his face?! ¡°Rui, Jiaze, did you see with your own eyes that this money came from the lady boss?¡± Rui scratched the back of his head guiltily and said, ¡°I was bored, so I went to order some drinks, so I didn¡¯t know.¡± ¡°I freaking told you to watch, why do you only know how to eat all day long!¡± Lei Jiacheng glared at Rui, and Rui took half a step back in fear. ¡°You can¡¯t blame me. There are really too many people here. I just wanted to join in the fun. Who knew he would get the money so quickly?¡± Lei Jiacheng secretly Xcursed at this stupid teammate! Lei Jiacheng controlled his desire to beat Rui up and said to Wang Dong, ¡°It¡¯s impossible for the lady boss to give you money! Unless there¡¯s something between the two of you!¡± ¡°Bullshit!¡± Wang Dong retorted. There was indeed something between them but nothing happened yet! ¡°The lady boss gave this money to me willingly. You couldn¡¯t get it because you weren¡¯t capable! If you were really capable, why would I need to come?!¡± Lei Jiacheng was very angry and said shamelessly, ¡°I don¡¯t acknowledge this money! You must have borrowed it from someone!¡± Wang Dong sneered. ¡°Just because you didn¡¯t see it doesn¡¯t mean that your other underling didn¡¯t see it.¡± He had been secretly paying attention to the three-man team just now, so he also knew that there was another person who had been standing at the same spot all this time. Lei Jiacheng looked at Jiaze and asked, ¡°You saw it?¡± ¡°I, I saw it.¡± Jia Ze replied nervously. Lei Jiacheng smiled sinisterly and said, ¡°This is evidence that you delivered yourself to my door. I¡¯ve tortured the lady boss for so long back then, but she still didn¡¯t agree. I don¡¯t believe that she would be willing to hand over the money the moment you arrived! Perfect! Now we have a witness! Hurry, Jiaze, tell me what you saw!¡± Jiaze swallowed his saliva. ¡°Do¡­ do you really want me to tell the truth?¡± ¡°Nonsense! Do you think I want you to lie?¡± Lei Jiacheng asked impatiently. Rui didn¡¯t know the truth and also thought that Wang Dong had borrowed this money from someone else. He said, ¡°This is a good opportunity to suppress this so-called genius. Hurry up and say what you saw!¡± Jiaze took a deep breath.. ¡°The lady boss personally handed this money to Wang Dong!¡± Chapter 34 - Signing Event Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lei Jiacheng and Rui were stunned on the spot. Why didn¡¯t they hear the answer they expected to hear? Wang Dong asked with a smile, ¡°Did you hear it clearly?¡± ¡°This is impossible! I told you to freaking tell the truth! Did you really see it?¡± Lei Jiancheng was suspicious. Jiaze nodded aggrievedly. ¡°I really saw it. Just in case, I even widened my eyes to look. I didn¡¯t lie to you, Brother Lei.¡± ¡°What the hell!¡± Seeing that he wasn¡¯t lying, Lei Jiacheng directly cursed! Why didn¡¯t things unfold according to his expectations? He slapped the back of Jiaze¡¯s head. ¡°Damn it!¡± As Jia Ze dodged, he said, ¡°Brother Lei, didn¡¯t you tell me to tell the truth? Why are you still hitting me?¡± ¡°Did I freaking ask you to say this version of the truth!? I thought this kid was lying, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be true!?¡± Lei Jiacheng was furious! Rui jogged over and said, ¡°Brother Lei, I¡¯ve confirmed with the lady boss. She said that she admires Wang Dong and the novel he wrote, so she decided to give him 300,000 yuan as her sponsorship.¡± ¡°How much?¡± ¡°300,000!¡± Lei Jiacheng and Jiaze were shocked! The latter only saw that the lady boss had given Wang Dong a large sum of money, but he didn¡¯t know how much was inside. Wang Dong¡¯s smile became even wider. ¡°Are you convinced now? This competition has just started and now it¡¯s already over. I think even if I give you a few more months, you won¡¯t be able to get 300,000 worth of sponsorship fees, right? I wonder if it will be enough if it¡¯s the total fees gathered by all three of you?¡± The three of them fell silent. How embarrassing! Wasn¡¯t it said that three men were better than one genius? Even if they added up the sponsorship fees, it probably wouldn¡¯t exceed 150,000, let alone 300,000! Moreover, Wang Dong had gotten this money with his own abilities and didn¡¯t violate the agreement to use the research center¡¯s money. If the lady boss was willing to give it to him, what could they do? Wang Dong continued, ¡°I don¡¯t expect you to admire me from the bottom of your heart, but at least do your best on the surface. In the future, when you see me, just call me division leader obediently. If you still want to challenge me one day, I don¡¯t mind, but¡­¡± ¡°Since I¡¯m the division leader, I have the ability to fire division members. If you lose again the second time, don¡¯t blame me for kicking you out of the public relations division! Moreover, isn¡¯t everyone¡¯s goal to make the division better?¡± ¡°I hate fickle people, understand?¡± Lei Jiacheng had no choice but to accept this. He still wanted to stay in the public relations division, so he said, ¡°¡­Understood.¡± Rui and Jiaze also said, ¡°Understood.¡± ¡°Very good.¡± Wang Dong had even managed a company before. Wouldn¡¯t it be easy for him to manage a mere public relations division? Three days later. There was a sea of people in the Hellens Music Bar. At a glance, there were at least three times more people than before! Fang Shiwan looked at the bills and her smile never stopped. Inviting Wang Dong over was the smartest choice she had ever made in her life! She pulled at the waiter dressed as a wolf and said, ¡°Send some drinks to the author¡¯s table and prepare some desserts, in case he¡¯s hungry later.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± At the same time, the readers who were queuing to wait for autographs were all lined up on the street outside. Those who didn¡¯t know better might think that there was a free giveaway being held here. Wang Dong received countless praise and small gifts. He even signed autographs until his right hand was trembling. However, after seeing the expectant gazes of the readers, he felt that it wasn¡¯t a loss. Slowly, he became numb. As soon as the book was handed to him, he reflexively signed his name on it. After some time, it was finally done. He put down the pen, picked up the lemon juice with his left hand, and gulped it down. Then, he picked up the dessert to fill his stomach. Fang Shiwan came to his side and rubbed his shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you. There are too many guests today. Even the waiters are so busy.¡± ¡°Anything else?¡± Wang Dong looked at his trembling right hand and sighed. Fang Shiwan smiled gently. ¡°There¡¯s also a band performance. Guess how much our sales increased today?¡± ¡°¡­Five times the usual amount?¡± He said uncertainly. Fang Shiwan chuckled and said, ¡°You still underestimated the readers of Twilight. Ten times.¡± This time, even Wang Dong was shocked! ¡°Are you sure?¡± Fang Shiwan replied, ¡°Of course. I got someone to calculate it a few times. I also calculated it three times myself. It¡¯s ten times! This can be equivalent to half a year of my sales.¡± She bent down and said, ¡°I have to thank you properly. My husband is working abroad, so why don¡¯t you come with me today instead of going back to school. I believe you haven¡¯t experienced a woman before, right?¡± These words impacted Wang Dong greatly. Although he had lived two lives, he was still single. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t care about this. ¡°So what?¡± The corners of Fang Shiwan¡¯s mouth curled up. ¡°Instead of handing your first time to an inexperienced little girl, why don¡¯t you trust me? I¡¯ll let you have a beautiful experience. How about it?¡± She was sure that her charm was something young people couldn¡¯t resist. As long as she casually gestured with her finger, those men would take the initiative to come to her. Unfortunately, she encountered Wang Dong, who loved money more than anything else in his life. Wang Dong¡¯s mood didn¡¯t change at all. ¡°I¡¯m still young. There¡¯s no hurry for this kind of thing.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know? Once a man reaches adulthood, he¡¯ll be a real adult. However, you haven¡¯t experienced the joy of being an adult.¡± Fang Shiwan tried to entice him. Wang Dong said with a smile, ¡°Is that so? I feel that earning money is the joy of adults. Only when I look at the money I¡¯ve made will I feel that living is meaningful.¡± She poked his shoulder angrily and said, ¡°Why are you so unromantic?¡± Seeing that Wang Dong was stubborn, Fang Shiwan gave up. However, this also aroused her competitive spirit. She felt that she had to take this person down! At this moment, the band invited by the bar walked up. When Wang Dong saw the lead singer on the stage, his pupils suddenly constricted. The curly-haired girl in a white T-shirt and warm pants picked up the microphone. Although she had smoky makeup on, it could still be seen that she had a good foundation. Her fair long legs and sexy waistline made some men swallow their saliva. Most of the people¡¯s gazes were focused on her. It was probably because she was the only female in the band. Wang Dong looked at her and felt that things had changed. Fang Shiwan saw that his expression was strange and said, ¡°Why? You know the little girl on the stage?¡± ¡°¡­What band is this?¡± He asked. Fang Shiwan¡¯s gaze was ambiguous. ¡°The Butterfly Band can be considered to be somewhat famous. The lead singer is the little girl with the bass. I remember the name seems to be¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Mei..¡± Chapter 35 - Childhood Sweetheart, Long Time No See Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At this moment, whispers also sounded around. ¡°The girl on stage has a good figure! She looks so good when she twists! What band is this? She¡¯s pretty good looking and can sing pretty well. Do you think I can get her contact information later?¡± ¡°As long as you have money, isn¡¯t that enough? This kind of small band is the kind of band that lacks money the most. Give her a few Grandpa Maos and exchanging contact information will be as easy as pie! I wonder what she tastes like? When I get her, I¡¯ll definitely show her off!¡± ¡°Wow, she¡¯s so young, I wonder if she¡¯s an adult. The bar probably won¡¯t let an underage child work here, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk, she is much prettier than the girls I see outside!¡± ¡­ These words naturally entered Wang Dong¡¯s ears. He clenched his fists. Zuo Mei was not their toy! Fang Shiwan smiled and asked, ¡°There are all kinds of people in the bar. I believe this little lead singer has long been mentally prepared. Who is she to you?¡± Wang Dong felt his throat dry. ¡°¡­Childhood sweetheart.¡± When they were young, the two of them were neighbors. Every time Zuo Mei¡¯s parents quarreled, she would run to her house to play. The two of them had always been on good terms, and they basically grew up together. However, in the end, Zuo Mei¡¯s parents still chose to get a divorce. She moved away with her mother and couldn¡¯t even study anymore. He heard from his teacher that her family was too poor to support her school, so she entered society early. He didn¡¯t expect that they would meet again in such a dramatic manner many years later. ¡°Mission: Please seduce Zuo Mei within seven days. There are no restrictions on the method. I suggest you complete it as soon as possible. If you fail, you will be killed!¡± Was the target this time someone familiar? Could this be heaven¡¯s will? After the few songs ended, just as Zuo Mei was about to leave the stage, a familiar but strange voice stopped her. ¡°Little Mei.¡± She looked over in shock. When she saw features that were 70% similar to her childhood friend, she opened her mouth slowly and said, ¡°¡­Wang Dong?¡± Wang Dong smiled and said, ¡°Long time no see.¡± She hugged him in surprise, but soon separated. She covered the attachment in her gaze and said, ¡°I miss you very much! By the way, did you come here to drink? Or are you also here for the author¡¯s signature of Twilight?¡± ¡°I¡¯m studying in the nearby Lin Liu finance department. I came to sign autographs for the readers.¡± The two pieces of shocking news smashed Zuo Mei heavily in succession. She had also heard that it was very difficult to get into the finance department at Lin Liu and those who could enter were all elites. Naturally, she had also heard about Twilight. In fact, she was planning to find some time to take a good look. She just didn¡¯t expect that her childhood sweetheart would become so impressive in just a few years. After the ecstasy was a sense of powerlessness that couldn¡¯t be approached. She forcefully suppressed her negative emotions and said, ¡°You¡¯re really impressive. Your future is definitely very bright! When you get rich in the future, don¡¯t forget about me. By the way, let¡¯s exchange contact information.¡± Wang Dong agreed happily. Therefore, they left their numbers in each other¡¯s cell phones. Zuo Mei looked at the line of numbers as if it was her greatest treasure. Back then, they didn¡¯t exchange numbers and their paths also never crossed. Now, their relationship might return to what it was in the past. Wang Dong didn¡¯t know what she was thinking, so he suggested, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go out for a meal and catch up?¡± Just as she was about to agree, the drummer from the band, Ah Rong, came over and interrupted their conversation. ¡°Zuo Mei, we¡¯re leaving.¡± Zuo Mei was a little disappointed, but this emotion quickly disappeared. It happened so fast that Wang Dong almost thought it was an illusion. ¡°Wang Dong, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± With that, she left with her companions. Fang Shiwan leaned her soft body beside Wang Dong and said, ¡°The people playing the band in the bar basically get a new partner every day, including that little girl. Although I don¡¯t know how good your relationship was in the past, but¡­¡± ¡°This society is already very complicated, let alone the life of someone in a band. Perhaps the little girl has already changed beyond recognition! You might as well choose me instead of her. Can you really bear to reject me?¡± Her index finger kept drawing circles on Wang Dong¡¯s body, and the scent of her sweet perfume entered his nose. Wang Dong nodded without hesitation. He had always believed that money was superior to women. ¡°Sorry, I have something to do. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Fang Shiwan watched his back gradually disappear and muttered, ¡°He sure is difficult to seduce. But I like a good challenge.¡± ¡­ ¡°Why are you in such a hurry? I haven¡¯t finished catching up with my old friend.¡± Zuo Mei said with some dissatisfaction. It was an excellent opportunity just now, but she actually missed it just like that! The guitarist, Lu Xian, didn¡¯t take it to heart at all. He curled his lips and said, ¡°That guy looks like a good student at a glance. How can he be from the same world as us?¡± ¡°He said he¡¯s a student of the finance department.¡± There was pride in Zuo Mei¡¯s voice, and she looked proud. The keyboardist, Little Wei, asked in confusion, ¡°Is that very impressive? Those who can enter university should be pretty impressive, right?¡± He graduated from junior high and entered society very early, so he didn¡¯t know about these things. ¡°Putting aside how difficult it is to get into the finance department of Lin Liu, just Lin Liu University alone isn¡¯t something that ordinary people can get into. Everyone who got into the finance department is basically a monster.¡± Ah Rong was studying at an ordinary university, so he knew a little more than them. ¡°Back then, my first choice for the college entrance examination was Lin Liu University. Unfortunately, I didn¡¯t get in. That was my dream school!¡± He felt uncomfortable just thinking about it. If he had entered Lin Liu, he wouldn¡¯t have needed to degrade himself by joining a band. Lu Xian sneered and said, ¡°What¡¯s the use of having good results? Don¡¯t you know there¡¯s a bunch of people graduating from famous universities who end up doing worse than us? Money is the way of the world. What¡¯s there to be envious about?¡± He was a poor student who dropped out halfway through primary school. He was indescribably jealous of top students with good grades. It seemed that only those good students who didn¡¯t do well could make him feel a sense of superiority. Zuo Mei retorted, ¡°He¡¯s the protagonist of today¡¯s signing event! Since he can write such a popular novel now, he will definitely be very impressive in the future!¡± ¡°Eh? Could he be the author of Twilight?! My girlfriend likes that book very much!¡± Little Wei suddenly became excited. ¡°If I had known, I would have let him sign an autograph for me. Is it too late for me to go back now?¡± Lu Xian clicked his tongue and said, ¡°Can you be a little more promising? In any case, we¡¯ll still go there to perform in the future. It¡¯s just asking for an autograph. It¡¯s not a big deal. We still have to go to the Yu Guang KTV and meet our old friends..¡± Chapter 36 - Bad Friends Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At Yu Guang KTV. ¡°Sorry to have kept you waiting!¡± Lu Xian pushed open the door and smiled at the three people sitting on the sofa. If Wang Dong was present, he would definitely be able to immediately recognize their identities. From left to right, they were Rui, Lei Clancheng, and Jiaze. When Zuo Mei walked in, the three of them were stunned! Jiaze said, ¡°There are women in your band? She¡¯s pretty good looking. Is she single? Or does she have a boyfriend?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t look bad either.. Zuo Mei, what do you think of him?¡± Ah Rong asked casually. After all, they all understood that Zuo Mei¡¯s selection criteria wasn¡¯t high. As long as the other party looked good, it was fine. The other party¡¯s personality didn¡¯t matter either. In any case, it was just for fun. Immediately, Zuo Mei thought of Wang Dong. Because of his appearance, her long-awaited heart started beating again. Perhaps she could really get together with him? ¡°¡­No, I won¡¯t be like before anymore.¡± Little Wei said in surprise, ¡°What changed?¡± ¡°People have to change in the right direction, right?¡± Zuo Mei retorted. A hint of understanding flashed in Ah Rong¡¯s eyes, but he didn¡¯t say it out loud. After they all sat down, Lei Jiacheng lowered his head and drank a few glasses of wine. He looked depressed, as if he had a knot in his heart. Rui was the first to break the silence. ¡°I heard you guys went to perform in Hellens?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s very lively over there.¡± Lu Xian paused and continued, ¡°Zuo Mei also encountered a student from the finance department. It¡¯s said that he¡¯s the author of the signing event there.¡± With that said, the expressions of the three people became strange. Lei Jiacheng suddenly placed the cup on the table and hurriedly asked, ¡°Is his name Wang Dong?¡± The band members weren¡¯t sure either. They all looked at Zuo Mei. Seeing this, Zuo Mei asked in confusion, ¡°You know him?¡± ¡°He stole my division leader position! He¡¯s just a new student. Not only does he look down on people all day, but he even threatened us. He said that if we go against him again, he¡¯ll kick us out!¡± Lei Jiacheng said angrily, ¡°The only reason why the teacher and the student council supported him was because he got full marks in the pre-test! If I had his freaking brain, I would have long become the division leader!¡± ¡°Boss, even a teacher can¡¯t answer the questions on that exam. With the brains of ordinary people, it¡¯s really¡­¡± In the next second, before Jiaze could finish speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by Rui. ¡°How can you undermine Brother Lei like this!? Although he¡¯s a researcher specially hired by the research center, broke the record by winning a bunch of awards for the literary club, and even got the sponsorship from the lady boss..¡± ¡°But! He¡¯s still nothing compared to Boss!¡± Lei Jiacheng gritted his teeth and slapped the two of them respectively! ¡°If you¡¯re praising me, so be it. Why the hell do you have to bring up Wang Dong!¡± Was that a compliment or an insult!? What a lousy teammate! Jiaze said in confusion, ¡°Boss, I¡¯m really praising you. I simply repeated what that kid did.¡± ¡°What the hell do you know! It was fine until you drew the comparisons. Where¡¯s your brain?!¡± Lei Jiacheng said in disappointment. Ah Rong said in shock, ¡°I heard that many geniuses have gathered at the research center of Lin Liu. Did the author of Twilight also get in?¡± Genius? Wang Dong was a genius! Zuo Mei suddenly realized that she was too insignificant compared to the other party. The two of them couldn¡¯t be compared at all. She had never gone to university, and not only had Wang Dong gone to a famous university, but he had also become an influential figure on campus. The former lived in a daze, while the latter had a bright future. Apart from being childhood friends, there was nothing between them. Not long ago, she had even comforted herself that Wang Dong would not despise her. But she now wondered if she could really be worthy of him. Everything had changed now. She had not gone to school for a few years. Although people often said that she played the bass very well and had good talent, this was simply an insignificant advantage she had compared to Wang Dong. There were many beautiful and smart girls in Lin Liu. How could she possibly catch Wang Dong¡¯s eye? She lowered her head and held back her tears. In the future, I want to be Wang Dong¡¯s bride. She had remembered saying this casually ten years ago when she was young. Back then, she thought it was really possible. But now she had to face reality. They weren¡¯t from the same world at all! Even looking at Wang Dong from afar was a luxury for her. Meanwhile, Lei Jiacheng was still badmouthing Wang Dong. ¡°I heard that Wang Dong entered the finance department as the last place. I think that the reason why he could get such a high score in the pre-test was probably because he had connections right? That¡¯s why he knew the answer in advance. As for that bullshit novel, he¡¯s probably marketing it himself!¡± He paused for a moment and continued, ¡°Also, how could that lady boss give Wang Dong the sponsorship fee just because of a book? There¡¯s definitely something between those two. Otherwise, why can he do it, but we can¡¯t? Why is everything going so smoothly for him? I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Jiaze wondered secretly why he never thought that it was because he was too lousy. Rui echoed, ¡°Boss is right! They must have made an unspeakable deal!¡± Although there was no evidence in what Lei Jiacheng said, to those who didn¡¯t know, this was the truth. Lu Xian said proudly, ¡°I knew it. How could such an outstanding person appear in the real world?! The rumors must have been exaggerated. In my opinion, Wang Dong is actually not that impressive.¡± ¡°¡­Was it really because of marketing? I personally think that his novel is really pretty good.¡± Little Wei said hesitantly. Even if Ah Rong used his toes to think, he would still know that Lei Jiacheng was adding oil to the fire. After all, if the other party didn¡¯t really live up to his name, why would the vice-principal still treat him like a treasure? After the conversation just now, he realized that he had heard his teacher mention this a while ago¡ªa true genius had appeared. He wouldn¡¯t doubt what his teacher had said, so the one with the problem would only be Lei Jiacheng. In the end, wasn¡¯t he just saying this because he couldn¡¯t do what the other party did? Seeing that the Lei Jiacheng trio and Lu Xian were getting more and more overboard, Zuo Mei slammed the table and stood up. ¡°You don¡¯t even understand Wang Dong, so what right do you have to say this about him?! Don¡¯t you feel guilty for badmouthing him like this? Wang Dong isn¡¯t that kind of person!¡± She believed that Wang Dong was an open and honest person, and not the despicable person they described him to be. Lu Xian countered, ¡°So what if you say he isn¡¯t? You guys haven¡¯t seen each other for a few years, right? How do you know that he hasn¡¯t changed?¡± She couldn¡¯t refute this. However, Zuo Mei straightened her neck and said, ¡°If I say he¡¯s not, then he¡¯s not! I grew up with him since I was young.. I know better than you what kind of person he is!¡± Chapter 37 - Real Psychology Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios They grew up together? Lei Jiacheng teased, ¡°Oh my, you and Wang Dong are actually childhood sweethearts? This boy sure is lucky with women!¡± ¡°Zuo Mei, why is your temper so explosive today?¡± Little Wei was puzzled. Lu Xian rolled his eyes in disdain. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re in love with Wang Dong, right? What¡¯s so good about that brat? After all, all he has is a pretty face and a bit of talent.¡± His words belittled Wang Dong to the extreme. Those who didn¡¯t know might think that the two of them had some deep hatred! In fact, he had been in a relationship with Zuo Mei before. Not long after, he was dumped by Zuo Mei. Then, he felt unhappy about everyone who approached her. Why should a woman he had yet to conquer fall for a childhood friend she had not seen for years? Zuo Mei looked at him in disgust and said, ¡°He¡¯s a genius! How can you say that he only has a bit of talent? If you have the ability, why don¡¯t you go and apply for Lin Liu University?¡± Who didn¡¯t know Lu Xian¡¯s petty personality? The difference between him and Wang Dong was like the difference between heaven and earth! Lei Jiacheng seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°Yes, he¡¯s a genius! But so what? You and Wang Dong aren¡¯t from the same world. Moreover, there are a lot of girls chasing after him in the school, and he has many people close to him. Do you think he¡¯ll really fancy someone like you?¡± Rui also said, ¡°I heard that the beauty of their class is his research assistant and the literature genius senior is his manager. Both the president of the student council and the big sister from our division fancy him a lot. That should be all, right?¡± ¡°Also, the lady boss of the bar seems to like him quite a lot. Teacher Meng often goes to the literary club to look for him.¡± Jiaze said in all seriousness, ¡°He has many women around him, and there are all kinds of styles. I¡¯m really envious! Speaking of which, I¡¯m quite impressed with him. He can still sit still despite being surrounded by so many beauties.¡± In comparison, Zuo Mei was just the lead singer and bassist of a small band. There was no way she could compete with them. She, who had been hoping for luck, finally lost hope after learning about these things. No one in their sane mind would give up on those outstanding females and choose someone who was terrible. Especially after seeing so many outstanding women, she didn¡¯t believe that Wang Dong hadn¡¯t been tempted. She clenched her fists and said, ¡°But even so, you shouldn¡¯t say bad things about him behind his back.¡± Lei Jiacheng said disdainfully, ¡°Why bother? It¡¯s not like he knows about you protecting him behind his back! Don¡¯t tell me you want to be his guardian?¡± Don¡¯t joke around. He has plenty of people beside him. Soon, he¡¯ll completely forget about you and leave you behind. But you¡¯ll probably still be able to see him on television. ¡° Geniuses and ordinary people were of two different worlds. Perhaps the other party could easily make a breakthrough in research. That was a level that Zuo Mei could never reach in her lifetime. The other party¡¯s life was just beginning. Her life, on the other hand, had reached its peak. Zuo Mei frowned slightly and said, ¡°I know. Let¡¯s call it a day. I¡¯m tired, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Then, she left the private room without looking back and cried silently as she walked. Although it was summer, she felt as if it was a cold winter night. In the next few days, Wang Dong would come to the bar to listen to Zuo Mei sing whenever he was free. It was precisely because of this that Fang Shiwan had many opportunities to seduce him. She became braver the more she was rejected. If not for Zuo Mei here, Wang Dong would probably have blacklisted Hellens. ¡°Wang Dong, is there no woman you like in this world?¡± Wang Dong said seriously, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say it already? Compared to women, I prefer money.¡± When he said this before, Fang Shiwan thought he was kidding. But no matter how many times she asked, the other party always gave the same answer. This forced her to believe the authenticity of his answer. ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Wang Dong said with absolute certainty. Fang Shiwan asked indignantly, ¡°If you had to choose a woman to date, who would you choose?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll choose money.¡± Women would only make the money in his pocket decrease. He touched his chin. He had not been idling recently either. He had been wandering around the nearby area to find a business opportunity. After a few days of observation, he realized that there was a lack of activity here. At the same time, because it was located in a remote area, it lacked contact with the city. Was there any way to let the huge consumption power of the student groups fall into his hands? The bar suddenly fell silent. He came to his senses. The band¡¯s performance was over. Zuo Mei walked down the stage and was about to say something to him when a slightly plump man ran over and grabbed her hands tightly. ¡°I¡¯ve been here for a few days. I like you! Little Mei, you have to agree to my request. I want to date you.¡± An indescribable smell of sweat rushed into her brain, and she immediately felt a little dizzy. ¡°Ah, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not interested in dating right now. Thank you for liking me, but I think you should sober up first.¡± Fatty was even more excited. ¡°You have to date me! I really like you. I have a lot of money. I¡¯ll give you money, alright?¡± Zuo Mei¡¯s expression turned ugly. What did this mean? Did he think she was an item for trade? Although she was already used to it and had encountered this kind of thing more than once or twice, she still found it difficult to accept. ¡°No, I¡¯m really not free¡­¡± In the next second, Zuo Mei was pulled into a familiar embrace. Wang Dong smiled at Fatty, his eyes filled with coldness. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear that she rejected you? Why are you still pestering her?¡± Fatty was shocked by his aura. He moved his lips and said, ¡°You, who are you to her? I heard others say that she¡¯s single!¡± ¡°Who told you that? If you don¡¯t get lost, I¡¯ll call the police.¡± Wang Dong threatened. After hearing that he was going to call the police, Fatty ran away. Wang Dong looked at the pale-faced Zuo Mei and asked, ¡°Are you alright?¡± ¡°¡­I¡¯m fine, thank you.¡± Zuo Mei took a deep breath and said. At this moment, her system interface also started to change. [Name: Zuo Mei] [Profession: Student] [Looks: 91 points] [Status: Single] [Weakness 1:???] [Weakness 2:???] [Weakness 3: Music] [Cheating Rate: 60%] Soon, it went from 60% to 80%. This was probably the fastest increase in cheating rate he had ever encountered, right? But why was it so fast? He asked in his heart, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re alright?¡± The system replied, ¡°Please don¡¯t worry, Host. This is Zuo Meizhen¡¯s psychological change.¡± But in the next second, Zuo Mei jumped out of his arms and said coldly, ¡°Sorry..¡± Chapter 38 - Asura Arena and New Girl Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°I still have something to do, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Looking at her back, Wang Dong fell into deep thought. In theory, shouldn¡¯t an increase in the cheating rate also increase their intimacy? Why was the other party getting colder? It even felt like she was deliberately keeping a distance. What was going on? From the initial 25%, it only took three days to reach 80%. He thought of another possibility¡ªmaybe she already had a good impression of him? If that was the case, it was not difficult to explain why the cheating rate had jumped so high. For a moment, his mood was a little complicated. Could it be that Zuo Mei still remembered the promise she had made when she was young? After leaving the bar, Zuo Mei found a place to drink. She thought that she could hold it in, but when she was hugged by Wang Dong, she couldn¡¯t help but miss that warmth. She looked at the lingering sensation in her hand and shook her head. How could such a terrible person like her be worthy of the other party? He was a genius, but she was nothing. If she could also enter Lin Liu University, would she be qualified then? At the thought of her poor family, she sighed heavily. Even if she wanted to, she couldn¡¯t. She didn¡¯t have enough money to enter school at all. Moreover, she was not the brightest student. Learning was simply her lifelong enemy! She drank several bottles of beer in one go. After being in society for so many years, she no longer believed in love. However, Wang Dong¡¯s appearance gave her new hope, although it quickly disappeared. Her cell phone suddenly rang. She directly pressed the connect button. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Where are you?¡± It was Lu Xian¡¯s voice? Why did he suddenly call her? She rubbed her eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯m drinking. Is there a problem?¡± The other party was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°I already said that person isn¡¯t suitable for you! Why do you have to¡­¡± ¡°If he¡¯s not suitable, do you think you¡¯re suitable? I¡¯ve said it before, I don¡¯t like you. I only dated you previously for fun. I expected you to be the same. But you ended up taking things too seriously!¡± The corners of Zuo Mei¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Stop trying to control me. We¡¯re just teammates. Moreover, when we broke up back then, it was also because you were looking for other women outside. In the end, you even dared to get angry after getting caught! Do you think there aren¡¯t any consequences to living a double life?¡± She didn¡¯t mind that he was seeing multiple women, but the premise was that he needed to keep it as a secret. Did he think she was blind and would not notice the girl he brought back to the rental house? Lu Xian humbly said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I apologize to you before? I think we¡¯re quite suitable. People like us can¡¯t compare to Wang Dong at all. Even if he agrees one day, he still won¡¯t be sincere with you!¡± After that, Zuo Mei hung up. Lu Xian was so angry that he threw his cell phone! Apart from his poor grades, how could he not compare to that guy? Zuo Mei drank a few more mouthfuls of beer. In fact, she was more inclined to believe that Wang Dong didn¡¯t fancy anyone. After all, he had displayed his love for money since he was young. She really couldn¡¯t imagine how Wang Dong would fall for a woman. She was envious and jealous. She wondered how nice it would be if only she was a piece of Grandpa Mao.. Her cell phone vibrated. She picked it up and looked at it. She was shocked when she found out that it was Wang Dong who had sent her a message. [Wang Dong: Come visit me tomorrow?] Should she go? She agreed without thinking. The next day. Wang Dong sat in front of the computer writing a novel. From time to time, he would look at the clock to avoid missing the appointment time with Zuo Mei. ¡°Wang Dong, I heard you went to the research center at noon. You haven¡¯t eaten, right? I brought some snacks over.¡± Qin Sixia, who was wearing a plain long dress, held a large bag of food in her hand. She was afraid that Wang Dong was hungry. Wang Dong stopped what he was doing. He was indeed starving. Just as he stuffed a small piece of bread into the end, Song Junyao, who was wearing a white coat, walked in with a lunch box. ¡°I heard from the teacher that you went to do research with your senior. You haven¡¯t eaten, right? I just made this for you.¡± He clearly just came back from the research center. Just now, Song Junyao was still busy writing down notes here and there. When she returned to her senses, Wang Dong had already disappeared. Therefore, she hurriedly went to the canteen to make some food. At this moment, the two women bumped into each other. After seeing the snacks on the table, Song Junyao said expressionlessly, ¡°Eating snacks can¡¯t replenish the missing nutrition in the body. Instead, it¡¯ll cause problems in the stomach.¡± Qin Sixia said gently, ¡°If I didn¡¯t come earlier, I¡¯m afraid Wang Dong wouldn¡¯t have been able to hold on, right? Although it¡¯s not as nutritious as the food you prepared, at least it can help him withstand hunger.¡± Little did she know that she was secretly feeling hurt. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that she couldn¡¯t cook at all, would she need to buy these snacks? However, she was not going to let Song Junyao know about this. After all, she did not feel like cooking was that big of a deal. If she needed to, she could just apply for a class to learn! Song Junyao was suddenly at a loss of words. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to close the distance with Wang Dong, but she didn¡¯t know what to do. Apart from researching data, they didn¡¯t talk about anything else. However, even with their current state, she was already very satisfied. But now, it seemed that she still couldn¡¯t let down her guard! ¡°Thanks to Wang Dong¡¯s help, I think it won¡¯t be long before our seniors¡¯ research produces results. We¡¯re talking about the brain of a future scientist here, so naturally, I can¡¯t let him eat garbage!¡± In other words, Song Junyao was saying that these snacks were garbage. Qin Sixia couldn¡¯t tolerate it anymore and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already submitted the novel that Wang Dong is writing for the Mao Dun Literature Award. He¡¯ll be able to receive the award very soon. On the other hand, what you¡¯re talking about seems to be in the distant future.¡± She paused for a moment and continued, ¡°Moreover, it won¡¯t earn much money anyway. A while ago, there was a large-scale film corporation that wanted to discuss the adaptation of Wang Dong¡¯s book with me! Recently, such calls have been endless. Before long, Wang Dong will become the youngest world-class novelist!¡± ¡°How can he have a future writing novels? Only by doing scientific research will he be considered to have truly contributed to the country. When the time comes, Wang Dong will shock the entire world! And as his assistant, I will forever be by his side!¡± Song Junyao retorted reasonably. The two of them continued to argue. Wang Dong, who they were talking about, was eating slowly. He looked very satisfied! He looked at the words on the screen. It wouldn¡¯t be long before the first book was completed. After that, he could take it slow. ¡°Wang Dong?¡± When he heard the voice, he immediately looked at the door. ¡°Zuo Mei? Didn¡¯t you say I would pick you up?¡± ¡°I happened to be free, so I came over.¡± Zuo Mei felt that she was incompatible with this place. Her hair was still blue, and it was obvious that she was someone from outside. When she saw outstanding people like Song Junyao and Qin Sixia showing their love to Wang Dong, she felt even more ashamed of herself. She felt as if she had lost. She was both brainless and ugly. How could she compete? Although she thought she was pretty before, after seeing Song Junyao and Qin Sixia, she no longer had any confidence. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Wang Dong¡¯s friend, Zuo Mei.¡± After Wang Dong wolfed down the food, he asked, ¡°I¡¯ll show you around?¡± ¡°No need, I want to talk to them.¡± Zuo Mei smiled and said, ¡°If you have nothing else, go out.¡± Wang Dong raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll have to trouble you guys to show her around.¡± He left slowly. Just as they thought that this girl was another one of Wang Dong¡¯s female love interests, they heard Zuo Mei say, ¡°Let me tell you, Wang Dong is especially outstanding, but in fact, he likes money the most. If you guys¡­¡± He didn¡¯t hear the rest. He really didn¡¯t understand what women were thinking. Since she liked him, why would she push him to others? Forget it. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and looked at the scenery. He wondered if he could start with a delivery service. After all, the student population has a rigid need for delivery, and the delivery can also connect the city and school. Basically, he would be killing two birds with one stone! Lastly, there were endless possibilities in the delivery business in the future. After using parcel deliveries to increase his user base, he could even expand his business to include food deliveries as well as transportation services. But if he wanted to become the chief agent of the delivery service in the university area, he needed a warehouse.. In his case, he could just use an abandoned empty classroom! Chapter 39 - Writing a Song "U Make Me Wanna" Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios But now, all the empty classrooms were being used for rehearsals. If anyone wanted to use them, they had to apply. The key of the problem was that the teacher in charge taught music, so only students that were musically talented would get the classrooms. ¡°Wang Dong!¡± Wang Dong turned around. It was Liang Zongguang. Liang Zongguang immediately placed his hand on his shoulder and said, ¡°I happened to want to ask you something. I thought you were in the literary club. Why are you outside?¡± Wang Dong said helplessly, ¡°The room is occupied by a woman inside. What did you want to ask me?¡± Liang Zongguang revealed a gossipy smile. ¡°Brother, it seems like you¡¯re quite lucky with women! So, which of them do you like? Do you need me to give you a suggestion?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk business.¡± Wang Dong used his elbow to poke his stomach. ¡°If this is all you have to say, then I¡¯m leaving.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t! I¡¯m looking for you because of the Welcome Gala. You were responsible for the majority of the sponsorship fee, so what program do you plan to prepare?¡± At the annual Welcome Gala, those who received the most sponsorship fees would have to perform. This was a rule passed down from generation to generation. Wang Dong thought about it. Why not take this opportunity to show off a few moves? ¡°I¡¯m thinking of something music related.¡± Liang Zongguang¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°You¡¯re even musically talented? No way? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re really an all-round genius? Isn¡¯t this too much of a blow?¡± Wang Dong smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I only know a little.¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll believe your nonsense?¡± Liang Zongguang patted him on the shoulder and said, ¡°Since it¡¯s decided, I¡¯ll go back and tell the teacher. I¡¯m afraid that after the gala, even more girls will fall in love with you.¡± Wang Dong, on the other hand, was in love with money. When he returned to the literary club, only Zuo Mei was left. ¡°Qin Sixia and Song Junyao went back?¡± ¡°Yes, they were called away by the teacher. I think the two of them are pretty good. Which one do you like?¡± Zuo Mei asked with a smile. Wang Dong looked at her for a long time and rubbed her head. ¡°You don¡¯t have to force a smile, you know.¡± The two of them had been together for so long, how could he not tell that she wasn¡¯t in a good mood? Zuo Mei¡¯s expression froze on her face. It was really terrible. Her heart fell to the bottom. Just as she lowered her head and was about to find an excuse to leave, Wang Dong asked, ¡°For the Welcome Gala, I want to form a band with you to perform, is that alright?¡± ¡°¡­No.¡± Although she really wanted to stand beside Wang Dong, she didn¡¯t deserve it. ¡°Everyone here is a genius. I¡¯m not good enough.¡± Zuo Mei forced a smile. ¡°Who asked me to be so stupid? This is your place to shine, and I should stay in a small bar¡­¡± [Name: Zuo Mei] Profession: Student Looks: 91 points Status: Single Weakness 1: Music Weakness 2: Wang Dong Cheating Rate: 90% How should he put it? When he saw that the weakness was him, he was not surprised. He only felt a little emotional. He had been with Zuo Mei for so long, but he had never found out about her feelings. He was really quite oblivious. ¡°No, Zuo Mei, I think you¡¯re very outstanding!¡± Although Wang Dong only thought of the other party as a sister, he didn¡¯t want to see Zuo Mei feeling so inferior. He paused for a moment and continued, ¡°Think about it, my voice, your music¡­ Zuo Mei, the stage is your place to shine! On the stage, you¡¯re like a star in the night, able to attract the attention of all the audience!¡± Zuo Mei looked at him in shock and asked unconfidently, ¡°Are you comforting me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth. I know you¡¯re very talented. Wait a minute!¡± Wang Dong knew that no matter what he said, the other party wouldn¡¯t believe him. Therefore, he could only use a different method. He casually picked up a pen and paper and began to draw. Zuo Mei looked at his busy figure and smiled. Just by looking at him right now, she was already very satisfied. Time passed minute by minute. Just as she was about to leave quietly, Wang Dong finally put down his pen. ¡°Let me sing you a song, alright?¡± When she saw his calm eyes, she actually nodded. It was just one song, but it didn¡¯t take long. She decided to enjoy the time alone with her crush. Wang Dong took out a brand new guitar from the room next door. He had bought it not long ago. He didn¡¯t expect to be using it so soon. He sat on the chair and looked at the lyrics that he had just written. He played the first note: ¡°From the beginning, I knew you knew me ¡°But only now do I realize ¡± I¡¯m creating a dream of two people ¡°So here I am, writing this song ¡°Tell you I¡¯ve been waiting ¡°In a way, tell me, girl, say you need me¡± The song ¡°U Make Me Wanna¡± could be considered quite famous in his previous life. He was singing a version that had been translated into Chinese. A few words had also been changed, but it didn¡¯t affect the smoothness of the entire song at all. Zuo Mei couldn¡¯t hold back her tears anymore. She covered her mouth and looked at her crush in disbelief. The light of dusk shone on Wang Dong¡¯s body, covering him with a layer of holy gauze. He looked at Zuo Mei with a focused expression, as if he was looking at his lover. His deep voice added some sexiness to the song. For the first time, Zuo Mei knew that Wang Dong could not only compose on the spot, but also sing while playing. She hoped that time would stop at this moment. But she also knew that this was impossible. The song ended. She walked forward and hugged Wang Dong. She choked up and said, ¡°I thought you would despise me. I thought I wasn¡¯t good enough for you. I¡¯m really terrible. Why did I have to be so unfortunate¡­¡± Wang Dong patted her back and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright. It¡¯s all in the past.¡± She whimpered like an injured little dog. Because of this face, she had been harassed a lot, but what could she do? She could only convince herself again and again that this was normal. Every time she saw someone her age who was brimming with happiness, she had to accept reality unwillingly. Occasionally, when she looked at herself in the mirror, she would have the urge to ruin her face. But she knew she could not afford to do that. It was because she didn¡¯t want Wang Dong to see her disfigured self. When they met again, the joy didn¡¯t last long. After all, she realized that she was no longer qualified to stand beside him. He was simply too outstanding. ¡°You¡¯re so far away. Can I really stand beside you?¡± Wang Dong knew that she had a knot in her heart. He sighed helplessly and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re still doubting yourself, why don¡¯t you come with me?¡± She wiped away her tears and said with red eyes, ¡°Alright.¡± They arrived at the place where the bicycle was parked. Wang Dong sat in front while Zuo Mei sat in the back. She carefully wrapped her arms around his waist and asked curiously, ¡°Where are we going?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know later. Are you holding onto me?¡± Wang Dong asked. Zuo Mei tightened her grip again and said with a red face, ¡°Yes..¡± Chapter 40 - Lights Up, The Show Begins Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios She smelled a fragrance of flowers on Wang Dong¡¯s body, making her heart flutter. She somehow felt they were a little like¡­ an old couple? No, no, no, how could she think this way? She wasn¡¯t worthy of such an impressive person. After everything was over, she would return to the past and have nothing to do with Wang Dong anymore. At the thought of this, she felt her heart hurt. She didn¡¯t want to separate from Wang Dong. She had yet to tell him that she liked him and loved him deeply! But was this something she could hope for? She didn¡¯t know anything, and she couldn¡¯t even play the bass very well. Could she really do it? She was conflicted. A voice inside of her kept telling her that she should already be satisfied for being able to be so close to Wang Dong. After all, given her poor conditions, why would the other party ever like her? On the other hand, there was also another voice that suggested that it was possible for them to be together. After all, Wang Dong didn¡¯t seem to mind and even sang her such a romantic song. Her heart kept accelerating. She couldn¡¯t help but feel happy that Wang Dong had written a song for her. After all, even Sixia and Junyao didn¡¯t receive such treatment. Previously, she had told Sixia and Junyao about Wang Dong¡¯s past since she was familiar with him back then. The relationship between the three of them had improved a lot because of this. However, even so, she probably still couldn¡¯t compare to those two. In front of them, Zuo Mei felt like a clown. Panic and fear slowly started to weigh on her. She hugged Wang Dong tighter and tighter, subconsciously not wanting to separate from him. Wang Dong almost couldn¡¯t breathe. What was this? Could it be that Zuo Mei was angry and wanted to kill him? He stopped what he was doing. What else was there to do after walking around the school? He racked his brains but couldn¡¯t find any relevant information. That¡¯s right, apart from work, he was usually doing his missions. How could he know how to flirt with a girl? Wang Dong wondered what he should do. Were all his previous efforts going to waste? ¡°Wang Dong?¡± Liang Zongguang walked over with the basketball, and behind him was Ruan Zecheng. ¡°Yo, you even brought a beautiful girl? Who is she? Is this your girlfriend?¡± Girlfriend! Zuo Mei¡¯s face turned even redder. She hurriedly waved her hand. ¡°No, no.¡± ¡°No? When we were playing basketball just now, I heard someone mention a couple wandering around on a bicycle. I was wondering who was being so romantic. It turned out to be you two!¡± Ruan Zecheng teased. Liang Zongguang smiled cheekily and said, ¡°If you didn¡¯t say so, we would have thought that you two were a couple! A beautiful woman and a handsome man. You guys sure make a great couple!¡± Wang Dong got out of the car and said aggressively, ¡°Zuo Mei is just my younger sister! Where did you guys get all this nonsense from? You gossip all day like some bored housewife.¡± ¡°What? Are you angry? Hey, you¡¯re basically a public figure, alright? Can you blame us? Right, Zong Guang?¡± After Ruan Zecheng and Liang Zongguang were pulled here by Wang Dong to do manual labor last time, they realized that they were very compatible with each other, so they often played basketball together. They unanimously believed that with Wang Dong¡¯s personality, he might be single until his death. They didn¡¯t expect to actually see him flirting with a girl when they were still alive. Liang Zongguang hid as he said, ¡°That¡¯s right! I think he¡¯s angry from embarrassment. Perhaps he even wants to silence us!¡± ¡°I dare you to stay still until I come over!¡± Wang Dong said fiercely. Liang Zongguang said, ¡°Hahahaha! Do you really think we¡¯re stupid?¡± Seeing the three of them fighting, Zuo Mei couldn¡¯t help but smile. Were students from famous universities so childish? She looked at the amused Wang Dong. So geniuses also had things they weren¡¯t good at? Was she thinking too highly of them? After chasing away his two good friends, Wang Dong saw her thoughtful expression and said, ¡°The school is also a society. It¡¯s not different from the outside world. There¡¯s joy and sorrow, good people and bad people, laughter and arguments. ¡°Everyone has a different life. There¡¯s no need to feel inferior just because you¡¯re not in school. Your talent in music is something that they can never match in their lifetime.¡± ¡°Do you understand?¡± Wang Dong was right. Zuo Wei wasn¡¯t too bad herself, so why did she have those terrible thoughts? Although she was bad at studying, she could still sing and play bass! She heaved a sigh of relief and smiled as she cried. ¡°Thank you¡­¡± If it weren¡¯t for Wang Dong, she would definitely still be living in a daze. The other party was like a light in her dark world. Wang Dong wiped away her tears and said, ¡°You still cry as much as before. Don¡¯t worry, as long as I¡¯m here, no one can bully you.¡± Cheating rate: 100%! ¡°The cheating rate of Zuo Mei has already reached 100%. Congratulations to the host for successfully seducing the other party in seven days. The host is rewarded with 100 points. Because the target already has a good impression of the host before the mission, there¡¯s no additional reward.¡± The next day. The Welcome Gala officially began. The chorus that had performed earlier had just finished singing ¡°Red Dust Laughter¡±, stirring up the emotions of the audience below. After it ended, thunderous applause immediately sounded. The music teacher, who had his hands crossed in front of his chest, looked proud! He couldn¡¯t help but feel that the students he taught were comparable to the choir of music academies. The contestants that performed before the choir were nothing compared to them. At most, they were only appetizers. He would definitely win this time! The most popular award was definitely his. He glanced at Wang Dong and the girl beside him, who were about to go up to perform. Looking at the girl, he wondered where Wang Dong found this second-rate performer. He sneered in disdain and felt that geniuses should stick to what they were good at. If he had decided to recite literature, he might had stood a chance. But when it came to music¡­ Heh, he simply felt that the other party was courting humiliation! Zuo Mei didn¡¯t notice his gaze at all. She was trembling nervously. This had never happened before. Was it perhaps it was because there was a group of elites sitting below? Seeing that she couldn¡¯t calm down, Wang Dong held her hand and said, ¡°Just follow my rhythm after you go on stage. No matter how impressive they are, they¡¯re still just mortals like us.¡± She took a few deep breaths. The geniuses among geniuses were already standing beside her. So what was there to be afraid of? ¡°Alright!¡± The female host held the microphone and said, ¡°Then, next, please enjoy the music performance brought by Wang Dong and Zuo Mei.¡± The stage instantly turned pitch-black. There were also discussions below the stage. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Wang Dong knows how to sing? This isn¡¯t going to be a disaster, right? I don¡¯t want my ears to be tortured.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, I don¡¯t think we¡¯ve ever heard the first year genius sing or play any instruments, right?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s fine as long as it doesn¡¯t sound bad. After all, we can¡¯t expect too much from geniuses. After all, they¡¯re not gods. I just hope that Wang Dong¡¯s performance won¡¯t be too outstanding. Otherwise, what are the rest of us boys supposed to do?!¡± ¡­ The stage light lit up again.. The performance began!
