"Is he really as amazing as you say?"
"Of course it's true. By the way, his friend is from the same circle as him. They live in the same compound and are both very important people."
"No matter how great he is, without the help of his elders in the family, he is nothing."
Chen Shu agreed with what she said. He also felt that these people were nothing special, just born into good families. If he had a good background, he would definitely be more outstanding than them.
"But these two are both capable. They didn't pursue official careers, but they're doing quite well outside. You know the Donglin Home Appliance City in Beijing, right? They're the ones who jointly opened it. They have eight branches across the country, all in first-tier cities. I heard each store's daily sales are over ten thousand yuan. Just do the math, that's what eight stores mean. These appliances are all smuggled in. They're cheap smuggled goods, but the selling price isn't low. They can open home appliance cities because of connections and skills. It's not a game for ordinary people like us."
He Xinyan subtly stroked her hair and straightened her clothes. Fortunately, she had dressed up carefully today, wearing a white sweater and white skirt, and a polka-dot headband.
"I heard he also invested in real estate in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is not the mainland. His business is big, often worth tens or hundreds of millions. Unlike in mainland China, it's rare to find people with only 10,000 yuan."
He Xinyan forced a smile. That circle was beyond her reach. The man with the strongest background she could contact was Chen Shu.
However, through Chen Shu's connections, she came into contact with these people. If one of them liked her and pursued her, she would have a chance to rise above her circumstances and achieve success.
"Brother Dai." Chen Shu stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.
Dai Donglin looked in the direction of the sound. He had a good memory; they had met two months ago at a friend's wedding banquet. Chen Shu was his friend's high school classmate.
Dai Donglin nodded, which was considered a greeting.
He was never talkative in front of outsiders, let alone Chen Shu, who wasn't even a friend.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Shu pulled He Xinyan in front of him.
"Xinyan, this is Brother Dai, and this is his friend Mi Fei."
He Xinyan was smiling gently, intending to amaze this important person with her looks and temperament. When she heard the name "Mi Fei", she was in a daze for a moment, slowly raised her head, and then stared at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Who else could this be but Mi Fei?
It turns out that the high and mighty friend Chen Shu was talking about was Dai Donglin.
Mi Fei was a friend of Dai Donglin and also a member of the compound.
He also opened eight home appliance stores, had a smuggling business in one store, and invested in real estate in the port city.
Mi Fei never revealed any of this. He Xinyan thought that his family was poor, that he didn't own a house, and that he only had a car borrowed from a friend. She thought he was an idle and good-for-nothing rich kid.
A hint of panic flashed across He Xinyan's face. She knew nothing, which was why she had neglected Mi Fei.
If she had known that Mi Fei came from such a good family, she wouldn't have cared about Chen Shu at all. She would have done everything in her power to provide emotional support to Mi Fei, making him love her to death and feel that he couldn't live without her.
He Xinyan wanted to beg for his forgiveness, but she couldn't bring herself to do it, so she could only purse her lips and remain silent.
Normally, Mi Fei would comfort her when he saw her like this, but now, the way he looked at her was as if he were looking at a stranger, only coldness.
Mi Fei, hands in his pockets, lazily stared at Chen Shu. "Coming to class with your girlfriend?"
Mi Fei was quite polite, and Chen Shu assumed that Mi Fei was giving him face. He didn't notice He Xinyan's resentment and panic, and smiled indulgently:
"Yes, I accompanied Xinyan to this lecture. Xinyan performs well at work and got this opportunity. I heard the lecture is very valuable, and the speaker is a well-known international expert, so I came with her. You guys didn't come here for the lecture too, did you?"
Dai Donglin shook his head. "No, I'm here to see my girlfriend."
"Your girlfriend?"
When Chen Shu's gaze fell on Chu Yu, his eyes revealed obvious amazement. He had never seen a woman like this in his life. She had fair skin, a bewitching aura, and was like a seductive fox spirit. Yet, her eyes were firm and exuded a coldness.
This woman is too beautiful, so beautiful that she seems unattainable, too far away.
I heard that Dai Donglin never pays attention to women and is cold to everyone. Chen Shu even thought about introducing his sister to him so that he could get in touch with the Dai family. But unexpectedly, Dai Donglin already has a girlfriend.
"Your girlfriend is really beautiful. Is she here to study at Tsinghua University, or...?"
Dai Donglin likes it when others praise Chu Yu for being beautiful, but these "others" are limited to women. He will be unhappy if any man stares at his girlfriend.
He was too lazy to answer, and Chen Shu felt awkward, but he was already happy enough to be able to talk to Dai Donglin today.
"I won't disturb your meal any longer, you two chat."
Chen Shu was in high spirits. After getting his food and returning to his seat, he began to speak at length:
"His girlfriend is really beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful woman in my life. But a woman like that is always dressed in designer brands and luxury goods. She must be hard to support. We ordinary people can't afford to support someone like that. Xinyan, you're much better. You treat money like dirt and never care about designer clothes. You're much easier to support. I think you're the real good woman."
He Xinyan's smile was slightly awkward. She didn't think Chen Shu was praising her. What kind of compliment was "easy to raise"?
Doesn't that mean she's not as pretty as Chu Yu, and she's not as good at spending money as Chu Yu?
If she were to marry Mi Fei, who comes from a good family and is good at making money, earning tens of thousands of yuan a day would be no problem.
She already has everything she could want, so why would she need to live such an "easy-to-care-for" life with Chen Shu?
He Xinyan was filled with remorse. If Mi Fei hadn't seen Chen Shu, she could have shamelessly tried to salvage the relationship. But Chen Shu actually admitted their relationship in front of Mi Fei.
