"My story can be found online; there are even things I don't remember myself that are documented there. So if you want to know, just check online!" Chen Haoxuan smiled.
"There's a lot of false information online, so I want to hear it from you. Can you share?" Shen Ruyan said seriously to Chen Haoxuan. Unlike most people who would introduce themselves, Chen Haoxuan didn't, which gave Shen Ruyan a slight fondness for him. She realized that he wasn't a lecher, at least not towards her.
"If you want to be friends with me, you can't possibly be unaware of my background unless you're a very casual person. My story is quite tragic, and I don't want to bring it up because every time I do, it puts me in a bad mood. I hope you can understand," Chen Haoxuan said lightly. He had checked Shen Ruyan's information and knew someone like her couldn't possibly be ignorant of his past.
"Then let me introduce myself! Before transferring here, I was studying..." Shen Ruyan began but was interrupted by Chen Haoxuan.
"I haven't introduced myself, so you don't need to introduce yourself either. It's good to keep some secrets from each other. Just like a book, if you read it slowly, it becomes interesting; but if you rush through it and finish quickly, you'll grow tired of it. So maintaining our current state isn't necessarily a bad thing," Chen Haoxuan said.
"I don't have your patience," Shen Ruyan thought to herself. She then spoke up to Chen Haoxuan, "Then I won't introduce myself. How about sharing your hobbies?"
"My hobby is making money; aside from that, I don't have much else," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
"How cliché! Someone so talented is so obsessed with money; I look down on you," Shen Ruyan thought inwardly. She had never lacked money and didn't understand how important it was for those who were poor. While she thought this way, she didn't dare say it out loud; otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain. She sweetly said to Chen Haoxuan, "I've heard that the All-Purpose Phone was developed solely by you. Can you tell me how you managed to succeed in developing it all by yourself?"
"Have you ever heard of geniuses?" Chen Haoxuan said with a grin.
"Of course," Shen Ruyan replied.
Chen Haoxuan pointed at himself and laughed, "That's me."
With a laugh, Shen Ruyan couldn't help but say, "You seem to have no sense of humility at all."
"Humility is something for those who lack ability. People like us, even if we are humble, you wouldn't believe it," Chen Haoxuan said with a smile.
Across from the milk tea shop, in a Beef Noodle Shop, three people were sitting there eating noodles while keeping an eye on the situation across the street. These three were Wang Fuyou and his companions. They couldn't hear the conversation between Chen Haoxuan and Shen Ruyan, but they could see Chen Haoxuan laughing and chatting. This scene made them very displeased.
"Damn it, I'll find someone to take him out. How dare he compete with me for women? He's asking for trouble," Ye Hongfei said angrily.
"Haven't you heard that Chen Haoxuan has over thirty subordinates? Those thirty-plus subordinates are not ordinary; they are all experts. If you want to take him down, you'll need at least a few hundred people, or you'll end up losing both your lady and your men," Gong Sun Xuan reminded him.
"Shouldn't you two express something? We swore before that we would compete fairly among the three of us, and when it comes to other rivals for Ruyan, we would cooperate against our enemies. Now I'm putting in the effort; what about you?" Ye Hongfei asked Wang Fuyou and his companion.
"I'll strategize as before," Gong Sun Xuan said with a sly grin.
"I'm obviously putting in the money! Tell your little brothers that as long as they can seriously injure Chen Haoxuan, I'll give them ten thousand Renminbi. Everyone else who participates will get RMB, and I'll cover all medical expenses for the injured. Is that generous enough?" Wang Fuyou said.
"That's enough, buddy. With the three of us cooperating, none of us are opponents," Ye Hongfei said with a smirk. The three of them had collaborated many times before, each time leaving their enemies in dire straits.
Ye Hongfei and his Qingye Gang members weren't numerous in New City, but he wasn't worried; he could call on other gang members for help. With his status as the prince of Qingye Gang, who would dare disobey him? Plus, with Gong Sun Xuan being a second-generation official, he could use both underworld and legitimate power to eliminate anyone who defied him.
Chen Haoxuan was in trouble again; even lying down he was getting shot at. This time he might not be so lucky because Ye Hongfei and his group weren't looking for girls to help; they were looking for real muscle.
Shen Ruyan wanted to understand Chen Haoxuan better, but he was evasive with her. Every time she asked a question, he would sidestep it and shift to another topic. This left Shen Ruyan feeling frustrated after spending so much time with him without gaining any insights. Not one to back down easily—after all, she was a member of Dragon Group—she continued to engage Chen Haoxuan in conversation, hoping to uncover his secrets.
Before they knew it, the sun had set and dinner time had arrived. At that moment, Chen Haoxuan stood up and smiled at Shen Ruyan saying, "It's getting late; I need to head back. Bye-bye."
After Chen Haoxuan left, Shen Ruyan could no longer maintain her lady-like demeanor. She was so angry that she stomped her feet. It was dinner time, and Chen Haoxuan didn't even invite her to dinner. Didn't he know that many people dream of dining with her?
As Shen Ruyan stood up to leave, she suddenly remembered that Chen Haoxuan hadn't paid the bill. "What a cheapskate! No class at all! He doesn't even pay for a girl's drink. It's infuriating! I won't go out with him again." Despite her anger, she still needed to settle the bill. After paying, she huffily returned to New City University.
Not long after Shen Ruyan left, three people walked out of a Beef Noodle Shop. They all had big bellies, comparable to that of pregnant women. "Oh my gosh! I actually ate five big bowls of beef noodles! My goodness! My stomach is so bloated," Wang Fuyou said as he slowly walked toward New City.
"I ate four bowls, all because of Chen Haoxuan. I have to get someone to take him down," Ye Hongfei said angrily.
"Not gonna lie, the beef noodles were really good. I ended up eating six bowls without even realizing it," Gong Sun Xuan said with a satisfied look, though he was just pretending; his stomach actually felt quite uncomfortable. They were all pressured by the Boss of the Beef Noodle Shop, who told them they couldn't sit in his shop without eating noodles.
Wang Fuyou had money, but he didn't like giving it to such rude people, so they kept eating noodles. Perhaps too focused on Chen Haoxuan, they unknowingly consumed so much food. Sitting was fine, but when they stood up, their stomachs felt extremely uncomfortable and bloated painfully.
