A week later, the office of the Economics Department Student Union at Fudan University
"Ningning!! Ning Yuan, what are you doing? I've packed my things, we should go!" An impolite female voice rang in Ning Yuan's ear.
Ning Yuan was startled and immediately looked at Chu Hongyu, who was holding a stack of documents by the table. She smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Who told Young Master Rong to flirt with her every day in a serious manner during the last few days before she left, even though he was the one who ended up feeling terrible, he still insisted on asking for kisses.
She's only been back for two days, but she already misses him terribly.
That guy was obviously doing it on purpose!
"You're having romantic thoughts. Put your mind to it. You need to be more proactive in attending classes these days. Some of the jerks in the class say that you're wasting the country's resources for training college students because you don't attend classes."
Chu Hongyu frowned her beautiful eyebrows and picked up her bag.
She joined the student union's publicity department at the beginning of this semester and heard some sarcastic remarks about Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan said dismissively, "I don't care what they say."
Chu Hongyu linked arms with Ning Yuan and walked out: "It's mostly men being sarcastic. It's really eye-opening. Everyone says men are magnanimous, but I can't see that!"
Ever since the students in the class found out that the owners of Epoch Heart were Grandpa Tang and Grandma Xia, they started making some sarcastic remarks.
Later, Ning Yuan "received" the Ning family scholarship and was able to participate in the city's department store project. She applied for a year's leave of absence, and the school made a special exception, allowing her to take the exam. After that, some people kept saying hurtful things to her.
And it's mostly guys who are being sarcastic.
Ning Yuan shrugged and smiled, "It doesn't matter. Let them be sour. Of course they'll say the grapes are sour if they can't have them! Actually, jealousy between men is more terrifying than jealousy between girls!"
Chu Hongyu nodded, about to say something with a smile, when suddenly a male voice, neither male nor female, rang out.
"Who's being sarcastic about you? You spend more time doing business outside than attending classes at school. It's strange that people are questioning how you got the Ning family scholarship."
Ning Yuan and Chu Hongyu looked up and saw a tall, thin boy leading several boys carrying art supplies into the room.
Chu Hongyu frowned as she looked at the boy with thick-rimmed glasses: "Zhang Zhenguo, you're the vice class monitor, right? And also a member of the student union's publicity department. Is this something you should be saying?"
Zhang Zhenguo said coldly, "I'm just telling the truth. Even if you have money, you can't shut everyone up."
The boys behind him didn't say anything, but they all nodded.
Chu Hongyu laughed in exasperation: "The Ning family established the scholarship for our school because they saw that Ning Yuan's project on the Heart of the Era, which represented the Economics Department, was very innovative and pioneering. If it weren't for Ning Yuan's success, do you think the Ning family would have established the scholarship for our school?"
Zhang Zhenguo looked at Ning Yuan coldly: "Is that so? But I have a friend who works as a waitress at the Jinjiang Hotel, and she saw her go into the young master of the Ning family's room late at night. So, is this her power?"
There was a moment of silence in the air.
Students passing by in the corridor couldn't help but look at this office.
Chu Hongyu's face flushed red with anger. Pointing her finger at them, the delicate Shanghai girl raised her voice and began to berate them in Mandarin—
"Bullshit, my Xiaoning has a boyfriend. You guys don't understand anything and you're just spouting nonsense..."
Ning Yuan gently patted Chu Hongyu, then looked her up and down at this class monitor whom she didn't see often either.
"Zhang Zhenguo, are you implying that I got everything I have today by selling my body?"
Zhang Zhenguo and the boys around him exchanged glances, and he said in a sarcastic tone, "I didn't say that. It's just that my friend saw some strange things, and we, as your classmates, are concerned about you and afraid that you might go astray. We were just saying it casually."
She's just fair-skinned and pretty; a girl showing her face in public is nothing more than a social butterfly!
Ning Yuan watched them walk past her, then suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Zhang Zhenguo's sleeve.
Zhang Zhenguo, his sleeve being touched, looked down at her with disdain: "Let go, what are you doing? I find it disgusting..."
Before he could utter the word "dirty," suddenly—
Suddenly, Ning Yuan slapped him across the face with a loud "smack!"
She has worked hard for the past two years and has become much stronger.
Although she still had thin arms and legs, the slap made Zhang Zhenguo's glasses tilt and his head buzz.
He froze for a moment, and the boys behind him looked at Ning Yuan in disbelief: "How could you hit someone!"
Ning Yuan released Zhang Zhenguo's sleeve and said coldly, "You're right, I'm quite good at currying favor. I used my own abilities to recognize the head of the Ning family as my godmother! That's my skill!"
Ning Yuan's blunt words stunned several male students in the student council.
Zhang Zhenguo's face turned pale and then black as he was being criticized: "Ning Yuan, it's one thing for you to hit someone... but you're simply a corrupt and degenerate materialist... This is too much, too much! I'm going to report you!"
Ning Yuan calmly said, "I know you're jealous, but don't be so quick to be jealous. Go open a similar shopping mall first, and Madam Ning the Second will be willing to sponsor you! I'm more curious about what you're planning to report me for?"
She chuckled lightly: "Of course I understand. These days, it's conservative. Let alone the fact that women doing business will attract trouble, even if it's not conservative anymore, which woman who achieves something won't be criticized for relying on a man? It's like women don't have brains!"
Even decades later, a female mathematics student at Oxford University was questioned as an "academic socialite" because of her good looks. A bunch of men would post on Weibo to test her, and she would answer the questions in no time, all while pretending it was for her own good.
Whenever a woman drives a nice car, there will always be men who enviously say that she's dating a rich man, selling herself, or renting the car.
The girl dyed her hair pink and was questioned about whether she got into graduate school by selling her body or if it was fake. In the end, she committed suicide.
Ning Yuan sneered, "And what's wrong with going into my brother's room at night? My godmother and secretaries were also in the room; we were discussing building materials. Who do you think you are? You've never been arrested by the police for spreading rumors here!"
Zhang Zhenguo's face instantly turned ugly: "I...I didn't spread any rumors, I...I...I just..."
Ning Yuan paused, then rubbed her palms: "Isn't this a rumor? Why don't we go to the police station together this time and find out the truth? You bring out your friends, and I'll bring out my witnesses. Let's see who wins! The loser gets a slap!"
Zhang Zhenguo was startled: "I'm not playing this kind of boring game with you guys!"
Looking at his cowardly appearance, Ning Yuan sneered at Chu Hongyu: "Get used to this kind of 'sourness.' In the future, we will encounter it in our work and life. Ignoring them and living better than them is the best way to make them look down on us but helpless against us."
Chu Hongyu couldn't help but clap her hands: "Yes!!"
