“Insider information,” Fu Chengyu deliberately lowered his voice mysteriously, “Grandpa, the government is going to develop the surrounding area of this land in the spring, and its value will definitely double. Didn’t you see that I didn’t dare to show my face when I was discussing this deal with Fu Jianzhi? I found another company to handle it for me.”
"Is the information accurate?" the old man, whom Fu Chengyu called Third Grandfather, asked casually.
In fact, he didn't care whether the information was accurate or not, or even whether the hundreds of millions would go down the drain. Fu Chengyu was his most beloved grandson, and now that his grandson wanted to make some investments, he was ready to spend money without even thinking about it.
"Yes, Third Grandfather." Seeing that he had a chance, Fu Chengyu flattered the old man even more, walking over to him and massaging his shoulders repeatedly.
"By the way, what's your brother up to lately?" A glint of light suddenly appeared in the old man's eyes. "I heard he's neglecting the group's affairs and gone to study at the First Academy? To get a second degree? Is there anything going on at the First Academy's research institute? You'd better keep an eye on things."
Fu Chengyu scoffed, "What new developments at the research institute? He's just chasing women, shamelessly pursuing them all the way to the school."
-------------------------------------
Fu Jian stepped down from the podium, carrying the books he had just received, and walked straight towards Ruan Chen's seat.
It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to sit next to Ruan Chen; it was because Ruan Chen was a transfer student and not very sociable, so she usually sat in the last row when she was late for class.
There weren't many students in the basic physics class, and they were assigned to a small classroom in the First Affiliated Hospital. Now, apart from Ruan Chen's row, there were no empty seats.
A girl stood up and casually grabbed Fu Jianzhi, speaking in a very generous and joking tone, "Young Master Fu, would you like to sit next to me? The last row is too far away; I can't see the PPT clearly."
She is Leng Yueqiu's cousin, and the boy next to her is the one who started the trouble at the restaurant yesterday.
The boy tugged at her, muttering in dissatisfaction, "Li Xiaorui, what are you doing?"
Li Xiaorui spoke with a grin, as if she were talking to her best friend, clearly someone who was well-liked among the boys. "He's a new classmate, so just let him have his way."
“No need to trouble yourself, I’ll just sit in the last row,” Fu Jianzhi smiled faintly, “It won’t affect your class.”
Just as he was about to leave this somewhat troublesome place, a clear, cold female voice came from the last row, "Yan Bin, right? Come sit in the last row."
It's Ruan Chen.
Ruan Chen spoke up, and the situation became interesting.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to talk to someone in this class.
Li Xiaorui didn't know what Ruan Chen was up to, but for her, it was an opportunity to get rid of the clueless Yan Bin. She really wanted to become Fu Jianzhi's first male friend in the school, and she was confident that her ability to interact with boys could make it happen.
When Yan Bin got back last night, he used his connections to investigate Ruan Chen and actually found out some things. When Ruan Chen spoke up, there was a hint of fear in his eyes, and he immediately took his things and went over.
He sat down next to Ruan Chen, thinking that Ruan Chen wanted to settle scores with him for yesterday, but Ruan Chen obviously had no intention of talking to him and was busy with her own things.
Yan Bin glanced at Li Xiaorui, who was already leaning on Fu Jianzhi's shoulder, then looked at Ruan Chen, swallowed hard, and after a moment of hesitation, said, "I'm sorry, Sister Ruan, I was blind yesterday."
"Hmm." Ruan Chen's tone was perfunctory and indifferent, showing no concern for how this person had changed their personality overnight.
"Ruan Chen, that anonymous report has nothing to do with me. I didn't write it, and I withdrew it." Yan Bin, seeing that Ruan Chen was ignoring him, felt a mix of nervousness and embarrassment as he stared at Ruan Chen's delicate profile and explained.
"Mmm," Ruan Chen replied with just one word.
Yan Bin gritted his teeth and leaned closer, "Sister Ruan, um... my best friend is in police academy and is currently interning at the municipal bureau, I..."
“You had him investigate me late last night.” Ruan Chen’s eyes fell on the screen. Finally, she was willing to say a few more words to Yan Bin. She mentioned the name of Yan Bin’s best friend and then added a time.
Yan Bin's breath hitched for a second.
Yesterday, after his best friend finished investigating Ruan Chen, he didn't say anything, but he vented his anger on Yan Bin. He said that Yan Bin was really going to get him killed, daring to investigate someone without even knowing their background.
Then he asked Yan Bin how he had offended the person they were investigating, and advised him that if things weren't going well, he should try to go abroad to avoid the situation.
Even though Yan Bin still didn't know Ruan Chen's background, he knew that this was someone he shouldn't mess with.
"Sister Ruan, you don't need to argue with someone like me..."
"Go apologize to the girls in our dorm after class, and make it sincere," Ruan Chen said casually. "They're going to the third canteen today."
Yan Bin felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. "Also, Sister Ruan, what happened last night was mainly due to my loose tongue. My two friends don't know anything about it..."
"I know."
“Then Xiao Rui…” Yan Bin glanced again at Li Xiao Rui, who was clinging to Fu Jianzhi’s shoulder and laughing heartily.
"Never mind that."
At the end of the day, the basic physics students weren't in a hurry to leave. They surrounded Fu Jianzhi, asking him all sorts of questions, and Li Xiaorui also became the focus of the crowd.
Yan Bin rushed to the third canteen as soon as the bell rang. He didn't pay attention in the next two classes and ordered a bunch of things online, saying it was to apologize.
Ruan Chen carried her laptop and walked out. She didn't want to get into trouble or try to figure out what Fu Jianzhi was thinking, so she walked around the group of people.
But Fu Jianzhi came here probably just to add some excitement to Ruan Chen's otherwise bland and unsociable college life.
He pushed through the crowd surrounding him, stood up, and faced the corridor on the other side of the classroom. "Sister, could you wait for me? I have something to tell you."
Ruan Chen cursed inwardly that this guy was really sick, and continued walking forward without looking to the side.
The people surrounding Fu Jianzhi were somewhat in an uproar when they saw the direction Fu Jianzhi's eyes were looking—was the "sister" that Little Fu was calling out to Ruan Chen, the notorious oddball in the class? The one they had just written a letter of complaint about last night?
The color had completely drained from Li Xiaorui's lips.
Fu Jianzhi was clearly getting anxious. He stood up and said, "Sister... Ruan Chen, wait for me. I really have something to do."
Ruan Chen stopped. Even though she had an insurmountable grudge against Fu Jianzhi, she knew she had to give him face in public.
"Mr. Fu, you're too kind. Just call me by my name." Her tone was distant and aloof. "As for business matters, let's schedule another time so as not to delay your integration into the new team."
