One week later, at eight o'clock in the morning.
Lecture Hall 1, Mingzhi Building, Hangzhou University.
Early in the morning, the seats were already filled with students from the three finance classes. Today's class was a general education subject: Modern History.
Most of the students were still rubbing their sleepy eyes, and some even fell asleep right there on their desks.
For most students, the first class at eight in the morning is an extreme ordeal, especially during the transition from autumn to winter when they are often sleepy.
Most college students are night owls. Getting them up at 7 a.m. every morning to prepare for class is like a zombie struggle for them. They stagger to class with dizziness and headaches.
This feeling must have been extremely painful for them, otherwise they wouldn't have uttered that angry curse later on.
I work from 8 AM!
Unlike the others who were sleepy and tired, Chen Luo sat in the last row of the classroom, his face turned to the window. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling his face and giving his handsome features a faint golden glow, making him look like a boy who had stepped out of a painting, with an unreal beauty.
At this moment, Chen Luo was just an ordinary, handsome college student.
Just a week ago, he was in the midst of a fierce business battle, where every decision he made concerned the fate and future of the entire group.
After countless strategic deployments and several fierce confrontations with Yelena, they finally prevailed, gaining control of the education industry in the southeastern coastal region and forcing Yelena to cooperate with them to share such a large profit pie.
However, after such a significant victory in the entire Southeast market, Chen Luo felt a mix of accomplishment and exhaustion.
A week ago, I was working intensely and making stressful decisions, but now that I'm back to the boring university life, I feel an unprecedented emptiness and unease.
"That's true, we've got too much free time."
Looking down at the phone on the table, the silence of WeChat on the screen seemed to testify to the abruptness of this change.
Without the urgency of work and the constant updates of data, Chen Luo found himself somewhat lost.
He sighed softly, his gaze sweeping back out the window, the image of Wen Wan appearing in his mind.
At this moment, Wen Wan was immersed in an educational industry resource integration project with Yelena. Although Yelena was not in sight, her care and understanding were ever-present.
Chen Luo knew that Wen Wan's refusal to let him help was actually a form of care.
Chen Luo had been working too hard before, almost without sleep for a period of time. For the sake of his health, it is necessary to let him return to a normal college student life and adjust his schedule.
While Chen Luo was deep in thought, an unnoticed scene unfolded in front of him inside the classroom.
His every subtle movement, even the indifference he inadvertently revealed, quietly fell into the eyes of the girls around him.
They whispered among themselves or stole glances at him, their eyes sparkling with a complex light—curiosity, admiration, and a few indescribable emotions.
Before long, quiet discussions began to fill the classroom.
"Hey, look! Chen Luo from our class is famous! He's become a star! His account has a million followers!"
"Tch, you're so outdated! Look what I found!"
"Chen Luo is actually the vice president of that well-known company, Wanluo Company, with a net worth of at least several billion!"
"You're talking nonsense. Don't we know our classmates? How could Chen Luo be that rich?"
"You're the one talking nonsense! Look at the accounts you follow, isn't the description 'Wanluo Education'?"
"Holy crap! It really is! What's going on? Chen Luo is only 19 years old, right? How did he become a vice president? Is he some kind of hidden top-tier rich kid?"
"Holy crap! Why did Tang Xiwei reject him in the first place? And he was such a simp for so long?"
"You don't understand. Haven't you read romance novels? Rich kids pretend to be ordinary people just to find true love."
"Blind Tang Xiwei, how could she miss out on such an incredible fortune? Now this incredible fortune is mine!"
A sweet-looking girl wearing glasses pushed up her glasses and looked at Chen Luo with a predatory gaze.
This girl's name is Xia Ningshuang, the most beautiful girl in Class 2 of Finance.
"No, what do you want to do?"
"Of course I'm going to win Chen Luo's heart. Now that Tang Xiwei has dropped out of the Finance Department, it's my turn to be the most beautiful girl in the department."
Another short-haired girl rolled her eyes and secretly glanced at Chen Luo's handsome face.
"Come on, a beauty queen? You're making a fool of yourself. Chen Luo has rejected several super beautiful, rich, and mature women before."
"What do you know? The hidden rich kids in romance novels don't care about looks. They're tired of seeing beautiful women. They're after feelings, true love!"
"That's why we have a chance! Just watch, it's easy for a woman to pursue a man. I'll add him on QQ first and then win him over with my burning passion!"
"Click!"
A sound of chalk breaking rang out, and the modern history teacher turned around and shouted angrily.
"Noise! Noise! Noise!"
"Anyone who continues to argue will fail the final exam!"
The classroom immediately fell silent, after all, failing a course is still a terrifying thing for the average college student.
However, although Xia Ningshuang's voice was not loud, most of the girls in the classroom heard her and looked at Chen Luo.
That kind of gaze felt like a sheep being stared at by a whole pack of wolves.
Liu Hao, Lin Xiang, Xiao Lian, and the others sensed something was wrong and quickly found someone to change their seats. They sat down next to Chen Luo and listened attentively to the lesson.
After waking up from a hangover a week ago, the three of them heard the devastating news from Chen Luo!
Because of their drunken antics, Wen Wan canceled all of their end-of-term bonuses and also revoked their participation points.
This means that their final exam score must be at least 70 points, otherwise they will fail the course!
This was devastating news for them, like the sky had fallen!
Moreover, they didn't dare let Chen Luo plead for them, since they were the ones who followed Wen Xiu to commit the wrongdoing.
So this week they stopped going to the company and rushed back to school to study hard, memorizing all the key points the teacher had highlighted. They even stopped playing games and focused solely on their studies!
"Ring ring!"
The bell rang, and the modern history teacher simply called out "get out of class dismissed" and left.
"Oh, get out of class is over, Haozi, want to go to the restroom?"
Chen Luo turned around to call Liu Hao, but saw that Liu Hao and the other two were standing in a triangular formation protecting him.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"What's going on? Look for yourself! What a terrible thing! You male Daji!"
Am I a male Daji? I'll work from 8 AM!
Just as Chen Luo was about to curse, he saw Liu Hao pointing at the dozens of girls who had already surrounded him. These girls were staring at Chen Luo with eyes like hungry wolves.
Young, rich, handsome, and mature.
These attributes that Chen Luo currently possesses are simply the most terrifying attraction for them.
After a brief silence, someone shouted.
"Chen Luo! My idol! I like you!"
Like countless wolves that had been starving for half a month, a group of girls pounced on Chen Luo without regard for their own safety!
