Zong Jia took the recorder, completely bewildered, and pressed the play button.

After listening to it quickly once, Zong Jia's face darkened even further.

What are the posts on the BBS saying?

Jiang Xiaoli leaned back in her chair. "Why don't you go back and take a look?"

Zong Jia drove home with a throttle, taking Jiang Xiaoli directly to his place.

Hearing the noise, Zhong Yuan came out of his room. "Hey, Little Pear, weren't you staying in the dormitory today? Why are you back?"

Jiang Xiaoli winked at him, "The dorm is nowhere near as comfortable as home, I'm off."

Zong Jia pulled the person into the study and closed the door, interrupting her conversation with Zhong Yuan.

She pouted, "You do your thing, what's wrong with me chatting with Brother Yuan?"

Zong Jiayu embraced her and let her sit on his lap.

As he turned on his computer, he said in a hoarse voice, "Little Pear, spend more time with me."

Jiang Xiaoli reached out and hooked his chin, "That depends on whether you can handle this matter well today."

Zong Jia smiled faintly, "Okay."

But his smile soon faded.

At this moment, there is more and more discussion on the Peking University BBS about those rumor posts. Some people have even dug up Jiang Xiaoli's class and dormitory, and her "rich boyfriend" is actually Zong Jiayu, a top student from Tsinghua University.

Suddenly, the discussion among everyone intensified.

However, the discussion in the post quickly went off-topic.

[To be honest, though, the junior's boyfriend is Zong Jiayu! If it were me, I'd want to move in with him too.]

[The person upstairs is really insightful; they said exactly what I was thinking.]

[I also want to say, when I first saw the post I thought the junior had found a pot-bellied middle-aged man, but who knew it was Zong Jiayu? Come on, who wouldn't want to grab a boyfriend like that?]

Jiang Xiaoli burst out laughing when she saw the discussion in the post. She turned her head and reached out to pinch Zong Jiayu's cheek.

"They all say I'm the one who made the profit!"

Zong Jia held her small hand and said, "They're talking nonsense. I clearly got the better deal."

Jiang Xiaoli's lips curled up, "All you ever do is try to take advantage of me, you're a scoundrel, aren't you?"

Zong Jia kissed her small, smacking lips directly.

The kiss lasted a long time, and Jiang Xiaoli felt like she was suffocating.

She pushed away the person hugging her, wiped her mouth with her hand, and said, "I'm suffocating! Are you trying to murder me?"

Zong Jia reached out and smoothed her hair. "Silly girl, can't you breathe through your nose?"

Jiang Xiaoli's breath hitched, and she opened her mouth and bit his chin. "Don't talk back to me!"

"Hehe." Zong Jia rubbed his chin where the little tiger had bitten him. "Yes, Your Highness."

Jiang Xiaoli nodded in satisfaction at his reaction, then pointed towards the computer screen and asked, "Guard Zong, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"

Zong Jia hugged her and kept typing on the keyboard.

"Of course, we should defeat the evil dragon and make the villain apologize to Her Highness the Princess."

Jiang Xiaoli soon discovered that all the negative posts about her on the Peking University BBS had disappeared.

Her eyes widened. "You hacked our school's BBS?"

Zong Jiayu moved her hand from the keyboard to her waist. "These fake news stories shouldn't have appeared in the first place."

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and kissed him on the cheek, "Guard Zong is so amazing."

Zong Jia couldn't stop smiling. "I'm glad Your Highness is satisfied."

The two stopped discussing the gossip on the BBS. Jiang Xiaoli patted his shoulder twice and stood up. "Okay, I'm going home now. I'll be waiting for your good news tomorrow."

When Zhong Yuan came out of the study, he was eating a self-heating hot pot in the dining room. "Little Pear, are you done chatting? Want to have a late-night snack?"

Jiang Xiaoli hesitated for two seconds before giving in to the temptation of food, "One serving, please!"

Zong Jia made a phone call in the study and came out to find the two of them happily eating a table full of snacks.

"Dayuan, didn't you eat enough tonight?"

Zhong Yuan waved his hand, "How could that be? Auntie's cooking is so delicious, I always eat too much."

Zong Jia sat down at the table and pointed to the food on it, asking, "So what's this?"

Zhong Yuan chuckled, "I'm not hungry, I'm just craving something. Want some?"

Jiang Xiaoli's lips were bright red after eating the spiciest self-heating hot pot. She sipped her drink and chimed in, "We eat happily in the middle of the night!"

Zong Jiayu really couldn't do anything with the two of them. "Eat less, or you won't be able to sleep if you're too full."

The two "spectator teammates" nodded in unison, then continued eating.

As Zhong Yuan ate, he sighed, "It would be perfect if Dafu were here too."

Jiang Xiaoli swallowed a boneless chicken foot. "Don't worry, I'll bring Brother Dafu over after the National Day holiday."

She has already acquired the land in Kyoto and is just waiting to start construction. Recruiting for the Kyoto branch factory will also be carried out at the same time, and Daifuku is a must-have.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuan looked at Zong Jiayu and said, "Brother Zong, let's not go back to Xijing for National Day, shall we? There are a lot of advertisements coming up lately."

Zong Jia nodded, "Well, I can't leave here either, so we won't go back."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoli asked, "Which project are you working on right now?"

CRM and ERP systems are two huge tasks, and with the search engine added on, she felt that even if Zong Jiayu were split in two, it wouldn't be enough, unless he was Sun Wukong who could split himself in two.

Zong Jiayu reached out to tidy up the trash on the table. "My company is now divided into two parts. I've recruited an entire team for the system software, and I'm personally in charge of the search engine."

Jiang Xiaoli cautioned, "Now that you are a research and development company, you must be careful with your technology patents and not let anyone take advantage of you."

"Okay." Zong Jiayu nodded. "I've got a lawyer overseeing things here, so there shouldn't be any problems."

After chatting for a while, Jiang Xiaoli saw that the clock on the wall showed 10:30. "I'm not chatting anymore, I'm going home now, bye-bye."

Zong Jiayu escorted her to the door. "I'll take care of the BBS issue tomorrow. Wait for my news."

She gave him an OK sign, "I understand, Guard Zong, you may leave."

Li Guizhi was still awake. When she saw her daughter return, she asked worriedly, "Didn't you say you weren't coming back today? What happened?"

She stuck out her tongue. "I thought I wouldn't have time to come back because I had some things to take care of, but I finished up and came back early. My bed at home is so comfortable!"

Li Guizhi didn't think much of her explanation. "It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. You're absolutely right!"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded in agreement, "So, we need to work hard to make money, so we can always be rich and live comfortably!"

"Haha." Li Guizhi was amused by her little expression. "Alright, alright, I wish our little boss Jiang a prosperous business and lots of money!"

She smiled and cupped her hands in a gesture of respect to Li Guizhi, "Then I wish 'Guizhi's Little Restaurant' a speedy opening and a constant stream of customers!"
