Chen Ke glanced at Yue Xingyu in surprise. Yue Xingyu's eyes flickered, then she chuckled dryly, walked over, put her arm around Jin Chuan's shoulder, and pressed him into a chair.
"Alright, alright, we're all roommates, any misunderstandings can be explained away properly, don't get all red in the face and act like enemies." After Yue Xingyu finished speaking, she said to Chen Ke, "Chen Ke, don't mind him either, Jin Chuan is straightforward and speaks impulsively, we didn't mean it that way."
Chen Ke didn't even glance at Yue Xingyu, his voice cold and distant: "First of all, I have no obligation to explain to you whether this car is mine or not. Secondly, your malicious speculation about me without any evidence makes me very uncomfortable, and I will report this to the school. Finally, you are all adults and should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Don't just believe everything you hear; it makes you look foolish."
"Who are you calling stupid? Who are you calling stupid?!" Jin Chuan shouted and stood up again, but Yue Xingyu pressed him back down. "Liang Xiang, you should say a few words of advice to Jin Chuan."
Liang pondered Chen Ke's last sentence twice, feeling that it had a deeper meaning.
"Liang Xiang? What are you thinking about? Go and advise Jin Chuan!"
At this moment, Jin Chuan was still yelling at Chen Ke: "Chen Ke, explain yourself! It's reasonable for us to be suspicious that you possess something that is completely inconsistent with your economic strength, right? Moreover, we said this to remind you not to go astray, but you not only don't appreciate it, but you also turn around and call us stupid. You're like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart!"
Seeing Jin Chuan being held back by Yue Xingyu but still trying to pounce on him, Chen Ke put down the book in his hand and walked straight to Jin Chuan and stood in front of him.
His expression was calm, his eyes as cold as ice.
The sudden surge of power was as intimidating as a tsunami. Jin Chuan was instantly frozen in place, like a dumb goose with its neck being choked, held in place by Yue Xingyu.
Liang Xiang and Yue Xingyu were also taken aback by Chen Ke's sudden change.
The four of them were like a silent play on stage, remaining completely silent for a long time.
Finally, Chen Ke spoke up: "Your 'reasonable' suspicions are utterly ridiculous. I thought that even if we couldn't be friends, we could at least get along peacefully. It seems I was overthinking it. We have different paths, so you should all take care of yourselves."
Chen Ke hadn't originally planned to continue living in the dormitory, as the dormitory had a curfew, which wasn't convenient for him.
I just never imagined it would end in such an unpleasant way.
The commotion attracted the attention of students from the nearby dormitory. After seeing that no fight broke out, they dispersed, but their faces were full of excitement at having heard some gossip.
Liang Xiang sat in the chair with a complicated expression, while Jin Chuan and Yue Xingyu went next door and didn't return for a long time.
The next morning, Chen Ke submitted his application to the school.
Meanwhile, Zhou Datong quickly found him a house to be used as company dormitory.
Chen Ke was somewhat surprised by Zhou Datong's speed when he received the call.
Fu Xin couldn't leave, so he had to go and check on things.
Before leaving, Chen Ke packed his things simply. The original owner was vain and didn't have many books, but he bought a lot of clothes and shoes, including some expensive designer clothes. However, Chen Ke had been wearing ordinary clothes that the original owner didn't often wear these past two days.
Chen Ke had just opened the door with a suitcase when he ran into Liang Xiang.
Liang Xiang went for a morning run with Jin Chuan and Yue Xingyu. The two went to buy breakfast, and he took the opportunity to come back and take a shower. Unexpectedly, he ran into Chen Ke, who was carrying a suitcase.
After glancing at the box in Chen Ke's hand and then at the neatly tidied desk, Liang Xiang hesitated for a moment before asking, "You really moved out?"
In fact, Liang never really intended to force Chen Ke out. Although Chen Ke's behavior was indeed disgusting before, he seemed to be getting better recently.
Yesterday's incident, at least, wasn't intentional; it's just that he's not used to speaking to me in a nice tone yet.
With Chen Ke gone, he felt somewhat uneasy about his conscience.
"Hmm." Chen Ke responded casually and stepped past.
Liang Xiang asked again, "So, are you still staying in the dormitory or have you moved out?" The dormitory is already full. If Chen Ke moves out, someone will definitely switch with him. What if the person who comes back is even worse?
"Maybe you shouldn't—"
Before Liang could finish speaking, Chen Ke said, "Move out and live elsewhere." Then he left.
······
"Oh, right, that's the road you turn in from, Guangming Real Estate Agency."
As soon as Zhou Datong hung up the phone, his colleague next to him said sarcastically, "Oh, Zhou, the way you're talking is like you're treating God. I bet even your own parents have never experienced such attentiveness from you."
"Sister He, what are you saying? Aren't customers our gods?" Zhou Datong said indifferently.
"Oh my, things are different now that you've made some sales, you're all sitting up straight now. But don't get too excited, this is a one-off deal. After this month, you'll be starving next month!"
At this point, Lei Juan, a new colleague who had joined Zhou Datong, couldn't stand it anymore. "Sister He, don't go too far with your words. Zhou Datong's client this time is a big boss. He can rent out an office building for 100,000 yuan a month just like that. Does that mean he won't have a chance to buy a house in the future?"
The commission for renting a house is low, so when his colleagues learned that Zhou Datong had landed a big deal, they were just envious. But when it came to buying a house, the commission made them very anxious.
"Really? Datong? You really know such a big boss?"
"Impossible, right? If he were really such a big boss, wouldn't his subordinates handle things like renting apartments?"
"Hey, didn't you just say that a client was coming to pick you up? Is this the big boss? He actually came to pick you up in person?"
My colleagues seemed to come alive from behind their computer screens, bombarding me with questions.
When Zhou Datong was faced with his colleague's "enthusiasm" for the first time, he was stunned and didn't know who to answer first.
Fortunately, the phone that suddenly rang saved him.
Upon seeing the call from Boss Chen, Zhou Datong walked outside while still on the phone. "Boss Chen, have you arrived yet? Okay, I'll be right out."
Zhou Datong was so focused on finding his car that he didn't realize a large group of colleagues, eager to see their "big boss," were following behind him.
"Beep!" Seeing Zhou Datong looking left and right, Chen Ke honked the horn for him.
Then it wasn't just Zhou Datong who looked over; a group of his colleagues behind him also looked over.
"Holy crap! It really is a big boss, a luxury car worth over 3 million!"
"He looks quite young!"
Zhou Datong was also quite surprised. Just who was his neighbor? How could someone who lived in a hutong have such a wealthy friend?
It's not that Zhou Datong looks down on people, but after being toughened up by society, he has come to a profound realization: the friends of the rich are often also rich, and the friends of the poor are generally also poor.
"Come on, Datong, hurry up, don't keep the boss waiting."
"Yes, yes, and introduce us while you're at it." At this moment, Sister He smiled and pushed Zhou Datong over.
