"Dad, two bottles of special edition! They're pretty good." Xu Chen, having returned home, took out the wine Tang Tiancheng had given him and placed it next to Xu Jianguo. Upon hearing this, Xu Jianguo hurriedly picked it up and examined it from all angles, then gave Xu Chen a strange look.
"Son, where did you get this wine?"
“This is a gift from my roommate, Zhao Yi’s eldest grandson.”
Xu Jianguo's head was buzzing. "What? You're saying your roommate is someone's grandson?"
Xu Nan, who was preparing for her art teacher exam in her room, came out and heard her father's exclamation. She hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"Your brother's roommate is that person's grandson!" Xu Jianguo explained again, pointing to Zhao Yi on the TV screen, and said to Xu Nan.
"Dad, is he your boss's boss?"
Xu Chen considered for a moment, then said, "Dad will soon be promoted to Governor of Hunan Province, so you could say this old man is Dad's direct superior."
"Son, Dad got promoted so quickly, is it because of your efforts?"
"Of course not. Your work ability is obvious to all. Besides, Zhao Yi's eldest grandson and I are just roommates." Xu Chen hurriedly denied it, then went over and hugged Xu Ming to stop his crying.
During his time at home, Xu Chen would date Wang Li during the day and occasionally have a passionate night with her. He spent the rest of his time frantically cultivating. Even though he hadn't achieved any results in his enlightenment, sitting in meditation was more reassuring than not meditating at all.
Liren Pharmaceutical has grown increasingly large and has become the leading company in the domestic cosmetics market, but it has still failed to reverse the situation where the domestic market is dominated by French and Japanese brands.
Martial arts training has been implemented in every military region. Over the course of two months, the military signed confidentiality agreements with all martial artists, using severe penalties and rewards to constrain them. For example, what punishments would deserters face, and rewards would be given for completing missions well.
The development of the Haitian Gang was not as fast as Xu Chen had imagined. In Hebei Province, it encountered strong resistance from local forces. Wang Tianfeng and Xu Yuedong were unable to deal with the situation, but after a while, they finally overcame the obstacles.
"Xu Chen, Xu Chen, someone's looking for you!" In the classroom after the start of the semester, Xu Chen, now a sophomore, was organizing his and his roommates' new books. He had been drinking with his roommates until very late last night, and naturally, they were all drunk and passed out. They were probably going to be late today. Hearing someone calling him, Xu Chen went out of the classroom and looked around.
"Xu Chen, here..." A cute girl looked up at Xu Chen's face and handed him a love letter, making her cheeks flush. She had been observing Xu Chen for a long time, but although they were both in the history department, they were in different classes. Encouraged by her roommate, she finally expressed her feelings after holding back for half a month.
"What is this?" Xu Chen took the love letter and asked softly. Although he had a guess, he thought it was unlikely. After all, while the whole school might not know that he had a girlfriend, anyone who had feelings for him would probably investigate.
"This...this is what I feel for you," the girl stammered. At this moment, a few students had gathered in the corridor, but not many. Perhaps they had extra time and wanted to see the confession, and they envied Xu Chen.
Xu Chen looked at the students around him, pondering how to reply to the girl. From her flushed face and the exquisitely crafted envelope she gave him, he deduced that she was confessing her feelings to him. Just as he was about to speak, the girl dodged into the crowd and ran away.
"Brother Chen, what's going on? What's happening?"
"Xu Chen? You got confessed to?" Li Wei was extremely envious of Xu Chen. He studied hard and worked diligently, but no girl ever confessed to him. Sure enough, women are all about looks and like handsome guys like Xu Chen.
"I've packed all your books. Take them back to the dorm later. But this... I don't know if it's a love letter. Maybe they just want me to do them a favor."
Zhao Weimin patted Xu Chen on the shoulder, "As you help each other out, the relationship will naturally develop!"
"Wei-ge, I don't think Chen-di is happy. What do you think, Chen-di?" The group took the books back to their dorm and chatted as they walked. Xu Chen didn't know what he was thinking, but he decided to wait and see what happened, since it was a girl who had given them to him.
"Let's give it a cold shoulder, Brother Chen. Don't hurt that young girl's feelings."
Xu Chen walked into the dormitory, put his books on the bed, and started reading the letter. Although he did not live in the dormitory, Xu Chen was rich and powerful. Before the start of each semester, he would always find someone to wash and air the sheets of the whole dormitory, clean the room, and purchase four sets of electronic equipment.
"It really is a confession." Xu Chen thought to himself for a while, then logged into the game at Zhao Weimin's urging.
"Thank you for your kind words, but I already have a girlfriend... You're a good girl..." After finishing the game, Xu Chen wrote a reply and put it in his pocket. Just as he walked out of the dormitory and downstairs, he ran into the girl again. She was carrying a lunchbox and looked like she had dressed up. The girl's appearance and overall image were much better than when he had seen her before. She slowly walked and jogged to hand the lunchbox to Xu Chen.
When Wang Li arrived at the boys' dormitory and saw this scene, she smiled and stopped to watch, wanting to see how Xu Chen would react.
"Xu Chen, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Li Muxi, and I'm in the same department as you. Here, I brought you dinner."
Xu Chen looked at the lunchbox in his hand, pondered for a while, and then pointed to Wang Li not far away.
"Since you know me, you should also know that I have a girlfriend." After realizing she had been discovered, Wang Li slowly walked to the two of them.
"I know, but I don't care." A resolute look flashed across Li Muxi's stubborn face. She had thought about it for a long time, convinced herself countless times, and been dissuaded by her roommates and friends countless times. When everyone realized that they couldn't persuade her, all the people around her could do was encourage her to bravely express her love.
"I care." Wang Li laughed and continued, "Little sister, although I don't understand why you like my boyfriend, he's already taken. Good luck, you'll find true love in the future." With that, she tried to pull Xu Chen away, but Li Muxi walked up to Wang Li and blocked her way.
"I...I'm willing to be his secret girlfriend...I don't ask for any official status, and I won't threaten your position."
"Can you really do that? You look very nervous. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a test. If you pass, I won't interfere in your relationship with Xu Chen anymore."
"Tell me, I won't give up."
"The test is this: I'm going to treat you like the other woman who's cheating on me with my boyfriend, and I'll expose your name and personal information on the school forum and other platforms. If you can withstand that kind of online abuse and harassment, you'll pass. How about it, want to consider it?"
