After being warned by Su Yichen, Xiao Zheng's smile became somewhat awkward.
His family suddenly became wealthy, becoming rich overnight through real estate. He wouldn't normally have been able to get into the Yenching University circle, but after learning about Su Yichen, he tried every means to curry favor with him. Su Yichen didn't like this kind of flattery, but eventually got annoyed and didn't refuse Mr. Zheng.
Although everyone seemed to accept Mr. Zheng, they actually knew in their hearts that some of their ideas were incompatible with his.
Although most young men like to talk about girls, they are no exception. Besides discussing their entrepreneurial experiences in college and getting to know each other, they can also talk about national political topics. However, many of their conversations also revolve around girls.
What makes Xiao Zheng so unlikeable is that while he pursues girls with great passion and fervor, acting like a devoted admirer, he secretly enjoys talking badly about them.
Lin Yutong was quite famous at school, but the boys didn't really care much about her behavior. She was indeed beautiful and bold. Apart from possibly pursuing Jiang Jianian and stringing other boys along, she didn't do anything else outrageous. Boys are always more tolerant of beautiful girls. Of course, although they felt that Lin Yutong's behavior wasn't too outrageous, they still kept their distance from girls like her.
Mr. Zheng is an exception.
He's not bad looking, but he's glib, lacks class, and likes to act like a rich man. He used to pursue Lin Yutong by giving her expensive gifts.
Lin Yutong has ambiguous relationships with many boys and does some pathological things that girls dislike, but she doesn't like sycophants like CEO Zheng. She's not so high-minded as to refuse expensive gifts from boys, but she doesn't accept gifts from just anyone either.
Lin Yutong was particularly ruthless towards CEO Zheng, but she was romantic, bold, and passionate towards the boys, and she would just tell CEO Zheng to get lost.
This Mr. Zheng acts all lovey-dovey in front of others, but behind their backs he often criticizes Lin Yutong for being a hypocrite. He says that despite having inappropriate relationships with so many men, she acts superior in front of Lin Yutong, probably trying to increase her own value so she can get money from her.
After the incident involving Lin Yutong and Ye Zhiwei was filmed by someone with ulterior motives, Mr. Zheng, whom Lin Yutong had previously rejected, approached her again. Lin Yutong was currently in a desperate situation and had no money to repay her previous online loans. In desperation, Mr. Zheng extended an olive branch, which Lin Yutong had no choice but to accept.
Even though she knew that this man wanted to humiliate her with money because he saw her down on her luck and wanted to find pleasure in revenge, Lin Yutong had no choice but to agree. She had already lent him as much money as she could.
Lin Yutong followed silently behind President Zheng.
Most of the girls in the circle don't like CEO Zheng. When CEO Zheng talks about Lin Yutong, several young ladies will glance at him and laugh, "Lin Yutong isn't exactly pretty but brainless. At least you weren't among the guys she picked."
Every girl here comes from a wealthier family than Mr. Zheng, making him feel humiliated among them.
This time, CEO Zheng deliberately brought Lin Yutong along to save face. Lin Yutong also knew what CEO Zheng meant. She sneered in her heart that CEO Zheng was naive and stupid. She didn't know how he got into Peking University. Sure enough, high grades do not mean high intelligence.
When CEO Zheng brought Lin Yutong along, the girls were all incredibly annoyed: just how low was his emotional intelligence? He knew perfectly well that Ye Zhiwei and Lin Yutong had a conflict, and the senior had even said that Ye Zhiwei would come over to hang out and have dinner together that night, yet CEO Zheng still brought Lin Yutong along.
The young ladies were perfunctory in their attitude towards Young Master Zheng and didn't seem to like Lin Yutong much either. They smiled politely but didn't say anything more. Lin Yutong heard from their conversation that Ye Zhiwei would also be there, and a feeling of unease arose in her heart. She really felt ashamed this time, and her temperament had changed drastically. The only blessing in disguise was that she became closer to her roommates, but facing Ye Zhiwei, Lin Yutong still felt somewhat unbalanced.
During the horse race, a group of rich kids hung out together, while the girls chatted happily with Ye Zhiwei. The boys jokingly said to Bai Zhi and the others, "Don't just hang out with the girls, let's go horse racing together. Isn't it easier to work together with a mix of men and women?"
Bai Zhi scolded the boys for being impatient; they all knew a beautiful woman had arrived and were therefore eager to make their move.
Su Yichen calmed everyone down with a smile: "Stop teasing the junior. If you keep teasing her like this, she won't come next time. She has a boyfriend."
"Isn't that Jiang Jianian from Baizhi Medical College!" When Miss Zhong saw Lin Yutong, she immediately thought of the argument she had overheard earlier, which seemed to have been caused by Jiang Jianian. It seemed that Lin Yutong had gone to see Jiang Jianian before she went to confront Ye Zhiwei.
"Zhiwei, is it Jiang Jianian?" Miss Zhong asked Ye Zhiwei after guessing.
Ye Zhiwei did not say it directly.
Lin Yutong was also a little embarrassed because everyone suddenly mentioned Jiang Jianian. She was cheated out of 300,000 yuan because she wanted to take Jiang Jianian away from Ye Zhiwei.
As if he had just thought of something, Xiao Zheng glanced at Lin Yutong beside him and asked, "The guy you told me you liked before, in order to reject me, seems to be Jiang Jianian?"
Lin Yutong glanced at Xiao Zheng but didn't say anything.
Young Master Zheng immediately felt a pang of envy. He had specifically looked into Jiang Jianian from the medical school, and it seemed his family background was quite ordinary. He didn't know the specifics, but he was definitely not from a wealthy family. Now, seeing Ye Zhiwei, he sneered, "That Jiang Jianian doesn't seem to be all that great, does he? Besides his good looks—"
"What do you mean he's just good-looking? He's the top scorer in our province's college entrance exam this year."
"Didn't he come over after military training ended? I heard that the director of the S City Research Institute helped him get leave."
“Yes, the professor at the medical school also specially recruited him to help with research. They must have known that Jiang Jianian was working at the research institute. Moreover, our medical school professor’s research team is mostly PhDs, and there are hardly any Master’s students left. Jiang Jianian should be considered an exception, the only undergraduate.” Bai Zhi was at the medical school, so she also knew about this.
Even these wealthy young men, who had more resources and a higher starting point than others, still expressed their admiration for a genius like Jiang Jianian in their conversations.
Only Xiao Zheng felt he had lost face after being refuted. He scoffed, "Oh, so what if you're capable? You'll still have to work for us in the future."
As he spoke, Mr. Zheng seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing. Even if he looked down on Jiang Jianian, whose family situation was not so good, he could not say it in front of Miss Ye Zhiwei. He smiled awkwardly and gave himself a way out, saying, "Haha, I was just joking. This kind of person is a high-tech talent, different from others."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and his tone became stern. He raised his voice at Lin Yutong and said, "Didn't you offend Miss Ye before? Otherwise, I'll take this opportunity to make you apologize to Miss Ye."
Lin Yutong glanced at Ye Zhiwei and immediately showed an unwilling expression. Young Master Zheng's gaze darkened, and he leaned closer to Lin Yutong, lowering his voice to warn her: "Don't you still owe money? The debt collection company has already started harassing you, right? They will only intensify their efforts and even resort to violence to collect debts in the future. Do you think it's so easy to borrow two hundred thousand? If you don't perform well, I won't lend you this money."
