As soon as he finished speaking, a continuous stream of exclamations of praise rang out from inside the private room.
"My God! Freshman year hasn't even started yet, and Brother Wang already has plans to start a business?"
"We're all thinking about playing games and dating, but Brother Wang is thinking about starting his own business and making a name for himself. What does it mean to be utterly envious? This is it!"
"Brother Wang, when you become successful in the future, please don't forget your old classmates."
"These days, it's so rare to find a guy like Wang Zhe who comes from a wealthy family but is still hardworking and ambitious. Anyone who could marry him would probably be laughing in their sleep."
Wang Zhe glanced at Hao Nianlei without revealing his expression, while a shy blush quietly rose on Hao Nianlei's face.
Several girls in Finance Class 3 already knew that Wang Zhe liked Hao Nianlei. As for those classmates who didn't know this, after seeing the ambiguous scene between the two, they understood that some wonderful stories were about to unfold between the golden couple of Finance Class 3.
At this moment, Hao Nianlei's roommate Yang Ming teased, "Nianlei, you and Wang Zhe are a really good match."
"oops!"
Hao Jianlei lightly punched Yang Ming's arm and scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not making this up. Anyone who isn't blind can see that you two are a match made in heaven."
Yang Ming blinked. "There's just one thing I don't understand."
"What's up?"
"They say birds of a feather flock together. You're so beautiful and have such a great presence, how could you possibly know that good-for-nothing, boastful loser?"
Yang Ming said matter-of-factly, "It's beneath you to have anything to do with someone like that."
"He was my high school classmate."
Hao Nianlei pursed her lips. "He's been bothering me ever since the beginning of high school. No matter how I try to get rid of him, he won't leave. I'm getting so annoyed with him."
In fact, Hao Nianlei never drove Chen Feng away.
On the one hand, she looked down on Chen Feng;
On the other hand, she thoroughly enjoyed Chen Feng's unconditional kindness towards her.
Therefore, Hao Nianlei had been trying to hook Chen Feng all along.
When Chen Feng thought he was about to win the heart of the beauty, he treated her coldly; when Chen Feng was about to give up, he gave her a little sweetness.
However, Hao Nianlei would never tell the truth.
Otherwise, she would definitely be labeled as a "Shanghai native" by the students present.
"So that's how it is."
Yang Ming nodded in understanding, then asked Wang Zhe, "Wang Zhe, where are you planning to rent an apartment? Have you found a neighborhood you like?"
"To be honest, there really is."
Wang Zhe replied with a smile, "Everyone has heard of Chenxi Yaju, right? It's the residential area outside the east gate of our school."
"Although Chenxi Yaju is not a high-end residence, it has a quiet environment, complete supporting facilities, and most importantly, it is close enough to our school. It is convenient for me to go to school to attend classes if I live there."
Upon hearing this, someone immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Chenxi Yaju? That neighborhood is indeed nice, but the rent there must be expensive, right?"
"Don't use your own abilities to judge Brother Wang's financial situation, okay?"
“That’s right. Brother Wang is about to start his own business. What does it matter if the rent at Chenxi Yaju is a little higher? Do you think Brother Wang would care about such a small amount of money?”
"You don't know yet, do you? Looking at the entire ancient city, Brother Wang is one of the top rich kids. The 'not cheap' you mentioned is nothing to Brother Wang!"
Flattery poured in from all around, making Wang Zhe beam with joy.
This feeling of being mindlessly praised made him feel like he was on cloud nine!
But before Wang Zhe could be happy for long, a mocking voice suddenly rang out.
"Since Wang Zhe is so rich, why is he still renting an apartment in Chenxi Yaju? Why not just buy one?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Li Xiaogang.
"Li Xiaogang, is that right? Stop making trouble here!"
Yang Ming sternly rebuked, "Do you know how expensive houses are in the ancient city? Do you think houses are like cabbages, something you can just buy whenever you want?"
Li Xiaogang shrugged. "So what if it's expensive? Didn't you just say that Wang Zhe was one of the richest second-generation heirs in the ancient city? What? Now he can't even afford a house?"
"That's just sophistry!"
Yang Ming raised his voice a few decibels, "Wang Zhe is still a college student. No matter how wealthy his family is, they can't just buy him a house whenever he wants!"
Li Xiaogang heard Yang Ming's description of Chen Feng clearly.
Therefore, Li Xiaogang had no good impression of her whatsoever, and he felt no qualms about criticizing her.
"What's wrong with college students? I know a college student who bought a house in Chenxi Yaju, and he's not what you call a rich second generation."
"Using someone else's arrogant behavior to show off your own superiority? Li Xiaogang, can you please stop being so low?"
Yang Ming said irritably, "If you're really that capable, buy an apartment in Chenxi Yaju and show us what you're made of."
"I don't have that kind of ability."
Li Xiaogang shook his head. "But that good-for-nothing, boastful loser you mentioned bought a house in Chenxi Yaju."
At this point, Li Xiaogang held up two fingers, "He bought two sets in one go, paying in full."
Silence, an eerie silence.
The huge private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Chen Feng, who was born an orphan and lived a poor life from childhood to adulthood, actually bought two houses?
And it was full payment?
Where did he get the money?
It couldn't have been obtained by begging, could it?
"You're not kidding, are you?"
Wang Zhe frowned and asked, "Are you sure Chen Feng really bought the house?"
Before Li Xiaogang could reply, Hao Nianlei burst out laughing.
"Wang Zhe, don't take it seriously."
"Others may not know what kind of person Chen Feng is, but I, who have been his classmate for three years, know him better than anyone else."
"During high school, he didn't even eat lunch, not because he wasn't hungry, but because the food in the cafeteria was too expensive for him!"
"Let me put it this way, you can smell his poverty even from ten meters away."
"How could he possibly afford a house? What makes him think he can afford one?"
"Li Xiaogang must have drawn inspiration from your university planning and was just helping his good friend brag and show off!"
The words were still ringing in my ears when the door to the private room was pushed open once again.
Hao Nianlei's other roommate, Cui Xuan, walked in.
Just like Li Xiaogang's previous behavior, Cui Xuan also had a forced smile on her face.
"I'm so sorry, something came up and I was delayed for a bit. What are you guys talking about? It sounds like you're having a lively chat."
"They're talking about one of our classmates from Finance Class 3."
Wang Zhe quickly chimed in, "He's clearly an orphan with no parents, a poor wretch who can't even afford to eat, yet some people say he bought two apartments in Chenxi Yaju outright."
"Come on, you give your opinion on how well this boast is made."
"Isn't it both refreshing and unconventional?"
