Little Madman’s Guide to Acting Good

Chen Qizhao was reborn and returned to the age of 18 when he was still the wicked little overlord of the Chen family.

At this time, his brother hadn’t experienced a car accident while his par...

Chapter 17

Chen Qizhao was surprised that Shen Yuhuai took the initiative to add a friend. When he saw the friend request, he clicked to agree without hesitation.

However, the conversation between the two people only stopped at the simple and polite greetings when they added each other as friends that day.

Chen Qizhao didn't ask Shen Yuhuai why he took the initiative to add him, and Shen Yuhuai didn't explain, as if they just knew each other and added him as a friend naturally.

But Chen Qizhao was somewhat satisfied with the result. Originally, he was still thinking about what reason to use to add friends, but now he saved the time to think.

If he hadn’t thought of that incident when he saw Shen Yuhuai’s circle of friends, he thought he might have kept a distance from Shen Yuhuai until he sorted out all the messes and got to know his friends again more easily.

Shen Yuhuai's circle of friends did not block other people. He originally wanted to ask Yan Kailin for it. After adding him as a friend, Chen Qizhao immediately copied the previous photo and sent it to Special Assistant Xu.

Special Assistant Xu was still confused when he received the news, but he quickly checked the people in the photo carefully according to Chen Qizhao's instructions.

An ordinary big ** is easy to check, and the other party’s information will be sent to Chen Qizhao’s email the next day.

The man’s surname is He, and his name is He Shuhang. He is a junior student majoring in chemical engineering at S University. He has received scholarships from S University for many years and has also won many important awards at home and abroad. In addition to He Shuhang, Special Assistant Xu also briefly checked the information of other people in the photo, and asked Chen Qizhao to recall the whole story of the incident based on this information.

This was a scandal of laboratory leak, and the laboratory where the incident occurred was Shen Yuhuai's project team.

The incident happened a long time ago, and Chen Qizhao only learned about it from other people after he met Shen Yuhuai in his previous life. Shen Yuhuai participated in an important laboratory project during his graduate studies. In the middle and late stages of the project, a technical leak occurred. Due to the wide range of impact, the news spread in the university circle at that time. The initial investigation found that the student leaked the information.

The situation was quite serious. The project at that time was a key project in cooperation with the research institute and involved a wide range of issues.

After the incident, all the students who participated in the experiment were called in for questioning. For a period of time, three students including Shen Yuhuai became important suspects of leaking secrets from the project team. However, after searching for a long time, there was still no clue. A commercial company on the market that stole the confidential information used this technical data to apply for relevant copyrights, and finally the entire project was forced to be terminated.

It was not until several years later that a piece of surveillance data that was supposed to be damaged appeared on the official forum of S University.

It turned out that the students who had collaborated in the crime felt guilty and finally chose to expose the incident on the Internet, which made the truth of the matter come to light.

When Chen Qizhao heard about this, it happened that the friend was a graduate of S University, so he saw the photo of He Shuhang at that time from him. It is said that his project at that time was competing with Shen Yuhuai's project for an important award, which was related to his admission to S University, so he took the risk and cooperated with an outside company.

Shen Yuhuai had never told him about this, but Chen Qizhao knew from a friend that He Shuhang was a junior who Shen Yuhuai had been close to during his graduate school semester.

He Shuhang was recommended for graduate school in his junior and senior years, and Shen Yuhuai is also in the graduate school stage now.

If nothing unexpected happens, this laboratory leak should have happened in the past two years, but he is not sure exactly when.

Shen Yuhuai helped him a lot in his previous life, and if possible, he didn’t want Shen Yuhuai’s efforts to go to waste.

"He Shuhang is indeed working on a project recently." Special Assistant Xu was a little puzzled when he received the call, but he still told him the extra investigation materials: "This project seems to be very important to him. I heard that he has been preparing for half a year. If nothing goes wrong, he will participate in a competition at the end of the year. I forgot what competition it was."

Chen Qizhao had just finished class and was surrounded by students who were also finishing their classes.

The school path was full of people, so he had to find a corner with few people to stand in and continued to ask: "Is he going to participate in that competition because he was recommended?"

Special Assistant Xu paused for a moment: "It seems that there is such a saying. Why is the Second Young Master suddenly interested in him? He Shuhang doesn't seem to be a finance major."

"I know a friend who is just looking for a resume and wants to find a suitable project to join. He has his eyes on He Shuhang." Chen Qizhao lied as if nothing had happened. "Is the competition he competed in high quality? Who are his competitors at the same time? Please help me check."

Ever since he was asked by his boss to help Chen Qizhao with project matters, he had to run errands for the second young master as part of his daily work.

The business covers such a wide range that Chen Shiming's assistants often receive various requests from Chen Qizhao. For example, the second young master suddenly wanted to invest in a project, and the scope was so wide that he jumped to the neighboring city C. After evaluation, he chose to give up because the investment amount was too large; another example was that the second young master wanted to recruit an assistant, and asked him to find a headhunter to check the talents of certain companies, but suddenly didn't want to recruit anymore...

Now, the second young master wants to investigate something else.

It is very common for children from aristocratic families to use fake resumes in college. Special Assistant Xu felt a little headache, but still did as he was told: "This is easy to check. I will send it to your email later."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and his boss' instructions, so he mentioned it tactfully: "Second Young Master, the contract between the Science and Technology Park and Ruizhen Electronics..."

Chen Qizhao said in a relaxed tone: "I know. Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on it? I asked the legal department to look at the contract. They added a lot of conditions, which is very beneficial to us."

Special Assistant Xu was ashamed. It was just strange that the benefits were too great. There was no such good thing as pie falling from the sky.

During this period, my boss found out a lot of things, but they were quite large and it would take another week or two to prepare and submit the evidence. The boss didn't want to alert the enemy, but was also worried that Young Master Chen would be deceived by Qin Xingfeng and other villains during this period, so he asked him to keep an eye on him and also allowed him to make a few more remarks in a tactful way.

It was just that it was useless for him to mention it to the Second Young Master. The Second Young Master still had that idle attitude, was not on guard against the people around him, and even helped his friend with his college resume.

Special Assistant Xu thought for a moment and said, "Second Young Master, I just found out something about Qin Xingfeng."

Chen Qizhao wanted to hang up the phone, but after hearing what Special Assistant Xu said, he became interested again: "Tell me."

Special Assistant Xu said, "Qin Xingfeng also took a fancy to the project in City C that we checked earlier and made a large additional investment in it."

Chen Qizhao said, "I won't invest anymore. If he wants to invest, then let him invest."

Special Assistant Xu: "...That project has great prospects. It's a pity that the Second Young Master didn't invest in it at that time."

Doesn’t the Second Young Master consider that the project might be intercepted by someone else?

Chen Qizhao laughed when he heard this: "Really? But I think that would be unlucky."

Special Assistant Xu didn't understand.

In order to make the Second Young Master realize that Qin Xingfeng is not a person to befriend, Special Assistant Xu could only use an incident he had recently found out as an example: "Qin Xingfeng is not a person to befriend. I heard that he secretly hired someone to ruin other people's projects. You also know that person. He is a member of the Cheng family who you often hang out with. His name is Cheng Rong..."

Chen Qizhao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and smiled and said, "Really?"

There was a large flow of people after class at S University, and it happened to be lunch time, so there were a lot of people coming and going.

Not long after Shen Yuhuai came out of the library, he noticed a slightly protruding figure. The man was standing under the shade of a tree not far from the library, leaning slightly against the bulletin board next to him, with his head half lowered, as if he was making a phone call.

The man was wearing a hat and a coat, and students would look back at him from time to time as they passed by him.

Shen Yuhuai glanced sideways slightly, as if judging something.

The boy who came out of the library with him said, "Brother Shen, let me treat you to a meal. Thank you for your help these days." The boy spoke sincerely, holding a pile of information in his hands.

Shen Yuhuai briefly retracted his gaze and spoke to the people around him: “It didn’t help much, you should pay more attention to the remaining data.”

The boy added: "I still have to thank you, Senior Brother. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have found such a good breakthrough..."

Chen Qizhao was still listening to Special Assistant Xu's gossip on the other end of the phone. He glanced around casually and suddenly located the library. The teaching building where he had classes today was not far from the library, and it happened to be the same route as his dormitory... With a quick glance, he saw the entrance to the library.

There weren't many people at the entrance of the library, so it was easy to tell who was standing there.

He was very familiar with Shen Yuhuai's black and white jacket. He had seen it when they first met in the bar.

"Hang up." Chen Qizhao said suddenly.

Assistant Xu was still talking, "Wait..."

At a bidding event in City C, Chen Shiming was on a high floor of the exhibition hall, looking down at the situation below. The bidding has ended, some people look frustrated, while others look happy.

Qin Xingfeng socialized with others with a hypocritical smile on his face, appearing humble and polite, but in fact he was secretly cheering for his victory.

Assistant Xu finished his call and walked in. Chen Shiming looked at him and asked, "Are you done?"

"The fight is over. The Second Young Master asked about some things in the school." Special Assistant Xu said, "I mentioned Qin Xingfeng's matter. The Second Young Master should be more vigilant."

Chen Shiming retracted his gaze: "It's better to listen to it."

After that, he said expressionlessly: "The show is over...it's almost time to close the net."

"Okay." Special Assistant Xu looked down at Qin Xingfeng below. Seeing the man's smug look, he had already lit three candles for him in his heart.

It is easy for people who are not aware of the situation to feel happy with just a little achievement. When his boss heard that Qin Xingfeng had snatched Chen Ershao's project, he found a way to raise Qin Xingfeng's bid price and quietly stir up trouble.

Why pick on the little bully of the Chen family when there are so many people to pick on? Don’t you know that everyone in the Chen family protects their own people?

Chen Qizhao hung up the phone and immediately ran to the entrance of the library.

Shen Yuhuai was not alone, there was another person standing with him. The closer he got, the more Chen Qizhao confirmed his target. He had seen a lot of photos of this person in the past few days, and even if he was not photogenic, he could recognize who this person who was dressed formally like a good student was at a glance.

"Brother Huai."

Shen Yuhuai tilted his head and saw that Chen Qizhao had taken off his hat, revealing his trimmed bangs and a pair of particularly bright eyes.

When He Shuhang saw the student who had just come running over, he couldn't help but be attracted by the other's face.

The boy was wearing a coat, had fair skin and a delicate and handsome face. He looked at it for a while, and saw the book in the boy's hand. It was a textbook for the freshman general education course. He took the initiative to speak: "Brother, do you know a junior from our school?"

Chen Qizhao thought, are you the only one in this school who knows me? You think too highly of yourself.

He didn't show it on his face and said politely, "Hello."

He Shuhang was a little unhappy. Perhaps he was used to other people politely calling him "senior brother" when they met him. He always felt that this junior brother in front of him seemed polite but was always cold to others. He asked, "What major are you in, junior brother...?"

Chen Qizhao spoke at the same time as him, and the topic turned directly to Shen Yuhuai, "Brother Huai, have you eaten? I'll treat you to dinner."

He was worried that Shen Yuhuai would refuse, so he had to add one more sentence: "I feel embarrassed to always ask you to treat me. There is a cafeteria in the school that is quite delicious."

He Shuhang paused as he was about to say, "That's perfect. We were just about to go to the cafeteria..."

"Let's have dinner next time." Chen Yuhuai said, "You should be able to get the rest of the data. If you have any other questions, tell me on WeChat."

He then looked at Chen Qizhao and said, "Is get out of class over?"

Chen Qizhao nodded: "I just finished class, and I happened to see you here when I passed by, so I came over to say hello."

He Shuhang looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still said, "Okay, I can handle the rest of the data."

Seeing that Shen Yuhuai had already started talking to Chen Qizhao, he didn't realize he was just standing there doing nothing. He said to Shen Yuhuai that he was leaving first and left quickly.

"Did he just want to invite you to dinner?"

After they left, Chen Qizhao suddenly asked, "Did I disturb you?"

"I didn't agree." Shen Yuhuai looked at Chen Qizhao, "I'm curious about the cafeteria you mentioned. Let's go."

Chen Qizhao: “…Oh, okay.”

The two walked side by side. Shen Yuhuai wanted to ask which cafeteria it was. He glanced sideways and saw Chen Qizhao playing with his mobile phone. He seemed to be chatting with his classmates, and the other party replied quickly.

He had no interest in peeking at other people's conversations, so he just said, "Stairs ahead, watch your way."

"Okay." Chen Qizhao was chatting with Yan Kailin. The excuse of the cafeteria was just something he made up. How could he know which stall in the cafeteria had the best food? He usually either ordered takeout directly in the dormitory or went out to eat. The last time he ate in the cafeteria was when Shen Yuhuai took them to a small restaurant on the first day of school.

Yan Kailin: Why are you asking me this suddenly? I haven’t eaten in the cafeteria either!

Chen Qizhao: …

Yan Kailin: [S University Food Recommendations] [S University Top Ten Restaurants Recommendations]... Take a look at these. Wait, why do you suddenly want to eat in the cafeteria? I'm still waiting in the dormitory for you to order takeout!

Chen Qizhao had no choice but to randomly find a restaurant from those recommended links: "Let's go to the third canteen. There is a restaurant that makes good chicken rice."

Shen Yuhuai looked at him when he heard it, “As for the third canteen, we just passed the turning.”

Chen Qizhao: "...I'm not very familiar with the way to school."

Shen Yuhuai looked at the road and said, “Go this way, it’s closer if you turn around.”

When we arrived at the third canteen, it was packed and there was a long line of people in front of the chicken rice restaurant.

After they ordered their food, they barely found a seat in the corner.

"Brother Huai, were you in the library with that senior brother just now?" Chen Qizhao asked casually, "Are you from the same research institute?"

“Almost.” Shen Yuhuai handed the sterilized dishes and chopsticks to Chen Qizhao, “He is not my junior brother. I met him somewhere else before, and I just happened to meet him in the institute this time.”

Chen Qizhao asked: "He's also going to the research institute?"

"The Ninth Institute has a joint laboratory with S University, and it's close. Some projects will be done in the laboratory of the Ninth Institute." Shen Yuhuai explained simply: "It's close, and he asked me for help today."

Chen Qizhao seemed to be thinking after listening to this. He couldn't judge Shen Yuhuai's attitude towards He Shuhang, but it seemed that their relationship was average at the moment.

Yan Kailin was still bombarding messages on VX. When he learned that Chen Qizhao went to the cafeteria to eat, he begged Chen Qizhao to go back and bring him something to eat.

After sending the message, she didn't stop there and continued to gossip with Chen Qizhao about things in the circle. The biggest thing recently was that Liu Kai's bar went bankrupt. A few days ago, Yan Kailin was still saying that he would go over to have fun after the bar was completed, but now that's no longer possible.

Chen Qizhao opened the group and saw Liu Kai getting angry in the group.

He rolled his eyes, suddenly remembered something, and typed a few words in the group.

Chen Qizhao types very fast, and you can hear the sound of his fingernails tapping on the screen when he types with one hand.

Shen Yuhuai raised his eyes slightly.

There was no extra space around, so they even put their books on the table. Chen Qizhao, who was sitting opposite him, wore his hat backwards. A tuft of hair on his forehead stuck out from the buckle. As the air-conditioning in the cafeteria blew, the sticky hair fluttered.

There is a kind of clever cunning in his eyes.

When Chen Qizhao finished typing and looked up, his eyes met Shen Yuhuai's.

Shen Yuhuai asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at others..."

Chen Qizhao blurted out unconsciously, and changed his words the next second: "I watched others discuss their homework, which is due in the afternoon."

His eyes fell silent as he watched Qin Xingfeng's name appear in the group chat.

Ordinary bad luck is just a small matter, but some people have great bad luck, the kind that makes them lose everything.
