This problem has actually troubled Wei Yuan for a long time.
Who exactly is Liu Haisheng? Why does he act like the big boss of the school just because he became the director? He has set up a bunch of money-making projects under various pretenses, yet no one seems to care?
Moreover, after seeing Flying Eagle's attitude towards him, this confusion deepened even further.
Perverted Man Zhang Biao glanced at Wei Yuan and said, "I know he is the director of Jinghai No. 1 High School, and he is also the owner of Jade Origin Studio!"
"Jade Origin Studio?" Wei Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
After receiving Zhang Biao's affirmative answer, Wei Yuan's confusion grew deeper. He knew that Jade Origin Studio was quite a well-known jade specialty store in Jinghai City, with storefronts on several bustling shopping streets and counters in many large malls!
Wei Yuan never expected Liu Haisheng to be so impressive!
With so many stores, Liu Haisheng should be quite wealthy, right? So why would he still want to come to school as a director? No matter how much it is, he wouldn't miss any opportunity to make money!
After agreeing to help Yuan Ziyi cure Han Ling's psychological issues, Wei Yuan searched online for information about psychological disorders. It seemed that behaviors like Liu Haisheng's—always trying to find ways to make money—were documented in some cases.
However, if someone enjoys making money and has the ability to do so, it’s likely that no one would want to treat such a psychological issue, right? At least his family would probably hope he carries this "illness" for life. Wei Yuan couldn't help but feel envious of Liu Lei!
As Liu Lei's father, Liu Haisheng was already trying every possible way to leave more inheritance for his only son before he passed away. What kind of spirit is that?
"I only know this much; you can ask Flying Eagle for more," Zhang Biao said.
"Okay, thank you," Wei Yuan replied.
Just as Wei Yuan was about to leave with Lan Xue, Perverted Man Zhang Biao called out to him: "Wei Yuan, just now on the phone, Flying Eagle asked me to get your contact information. Sorry for taking up your time; I need to give my brother an update!"
Making more friends when going out isn't a bad thing after all. Wei Yuan had no intention of being difficult and saved his phone number for Zhang Biao. Perhaps there would be an opportunity to connect with Flying Eagle later; Wei Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse his goodwill.
After slapping that so-called Sun Country mixed-blood a few times as a lesson, Wei Yuan felt great and sent Perverted Man Zhang Biao and his group away. He continued leading Lan Xue through the night market.
Now that no one was bothering them, the streets were lively on Valentine's Day night, with fireworks visible everywhere and couples acting out romantic dramas in the alleys. The intense affection and close relationships made Wei Yuan realize that his relationship with Lan Xue had become somewhat distant.
Just moments ago, when they were hiding in an open space, Wei Yuan missed the feeling of tightly holding Lan Xue. However, at that time, both of them were too nervous to pay attention to it. Now, as he thought about holding Lan Xue in his arms again, Wei Yuan tried several times but still felt a bit awkward and could only rest his hand on her shoulder.
Lan Xue noticed this and felt anxious: You silly head, can't you be a bit more proactive? I haven't rejected you; I have to maintain some modesty as a girl. Shouldn't I be the one to take the initiative?
The two maintained this awkward posture while strolling until half an hour later when Wei Yuan saw Lan Xue frowning. Leaning down to look closer, he realized that Lan Xue had specifically worn a pair of high heels for their date tonight!
At that moment, with her long black hair styled up and wearing a pure white dress paired with shiny silver high heels, Lan Xue's innocent and elegant temperament was fully displayed. As they walked down the street, they instantly attracted quite a few curious glances.
However, therein lay the problem: Lan Xue was not used to wearing high heels at all. Although she was already 1.63 meters tall, she wore high heels tonight to make the occasion more special. Fortunately, Wei Yuan had an advantage in height, but seeing Lan Xue in pain made him feel sorry for her.
He once tried wearing high heels out of curiosity and couldn't stand it after just a few steps; for someone unaccustomed to them, they were definitely a torment every moment!
Suddenly spotting two shops ahead—one selling fragrant milk tea and another a Western-style café—Wei Yuan quickly told Lan Xue to stop and asked, "Shall we take a break? Which one do you want to go to?"
Lan Xue pointed at the milk tea shop and said, "How about that one? It's cheaper."
Wei Yuan knew Lan Xue was trying to save money for him. Nowadays, it's easy to find a girl who would happily drain your wallet; if you took one shopping for jewelry and let her buy whatever she wanted while you paid, she could easily spend your entire fortune. But finding a girl willing to save money for you was rare.
Wei Yuan frowned slightly and said, "That's not good!"
Lan Xue was puzzled; Wei Yuan had always been laid-back. Why was he suddenly so picky? "Why not?"
"Have you never seen their advertisement?" Wei Yuan laughed.
After thinking for a moment, Lan Xue shook her head. So Wei Yuan adopted the tone of a TV announcer: "Piao Xiang Milk Tea sells over 700 million cups a year and has poisoned over 100 million people; if you lined up their bodies, they could circle the Earth twice!"
Hearing Wei Yuan's words, Lan Xue couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably while covering her stomach. Following his suggestion, they entered the nearby Western café.
Jinghai Person has always preferred drinking tea and is not very accepting of coffee, so the two of them haven't really studied it and are quite confused about the categories on the menu.
However, Lan Xue comes from a wealthy family and has some understanding of such things. She ordered a Macchiato for herself and then got Wei Yuan a Cappuccino!
In fact, Wei Yuan knows nothing about what these types of coffee represent in terms of flavor. For him, coffee is just something to drink when he needs to stay awake, and he doesn't feel anything special when he drinks it.
However, he remembers hearing a host on a talk show refer to drinking coffee as something elegant, akin to being a gentleman. It seemed that even after drinking coffee, one could still have a pleasant aroma when passing gas, while he scoffed at behaviors like eating garlic. Because of this, whenever Wei Yuan saw that host on TV, he would quickly change the channel.
He has to admit that this guy knows how to be funny, but someone who doesn't respect others and casually makes fun of people is self-righteous; talent without virtue is useless.
While drinking coffee, Wei Yuan inadvertently thought of this person and found a topic to discuss. When they talked about it, Lan Xue was clearly very interested. This must belong to the realm of gossip; as long as one is human, they inevitably have a burning soul for gossip!
It seems this saying applies to everyone. Suddenly, while they were happily chatting, a pleasant ringtone sounded.
Wei Yuan recognized it as Lan Xue's ringtone and reminded her. He then saw Lan Xue take her phone out of her bag. After glancing at it, she said to Wei Yuan: "It's my grandfather looking for me. It might be a bit late now; he's worried about me."
