Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 584 - 211 How much money does Li Yuan actually have? The prelude to palace intrigue?_2

"By that calculation, Yuan has to be a multimillionaire at the very least. It’s hard to even guess what his exact net worth is."

Xu Ziqiang couldn’t help but curse, "Fuck, Yuan is too damn awesome! An eighteen-year-old multimillionaire. No wonder he has four gorgeous girlfriends."

Liu Jia urged him, "Heh, Qiang, stop dawdling and get changed. I’m off to latch onto the coattails of a multimillionaire."

"That seafood last night was incredible. If we stick with Yuan, we’ll get to eat and drink our fill every day, won’t we?"

Wu Hao licked his lips and let out a contented sigh. Recalling the seafood from the night before, he still savored the memory. "It was 688 per person, so that’s over 8,000 for the twelve of us! Our annual tuition is only a little over three thousand. Tsk, tsk. One meal just wiped out two years of tuition fees."

"If I told my mom, she’d definitely think I was dreaming. This is the simple, unpretentious life of a multimillionaire. I’m exploding with envy."

"I want to be a multimillionaire too. No, a millionaire would be enough. Find a gorgeous girlfriend, and I’d have no regrets about my four years of college."

"Alright, stop daydreaming. Yuan is still waiting for us at the academic building. As long as we stick close to him, all of this will be ours eventually."

Just as Liu Jia, Wu Hao, and Xu Ziqiang stepped out of the men’s dormitory, they ran into Li Lanrong, Gao Xin, Ge Chenchen, and Shen Xiyu.

Li Lanrong smiled and took the initiative to greet them. "Liu Jia, what a coincidence. Where are you guys off to?"

Liu Jia, in his characteristically blunt way, joked, "We’re on our way to work for Yuan!"

Li Lanrong was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Work for Li Yuan? What kind of work?"

Wu Hao, with his slick, shiny hair, glanced at Ge Chenchen and took the lead in answering.

"Ladies, haven’t you heard? Yuan applied for the university’s student entrepreneurship program, and they approved a space for him as a startup base. It’s right in the academic building."

"Yuan asked us to meet him at the academic building now, so it must be about this startup base."

Wu Hao’s words left Li Lanrong, Ge Chenchen, and the other girls stunned, their faces filled with surprise.

They really had no idea. Xia Zhijin hadn’t told them.

Li Yuan was actually establishing a startup base at the university.

Li Lanrong twirled a lock of hair and looked at Wu Hao’s group curiously. "Can we come and see Li Yuan’s startup base?"

"Well..." Wu Hao was still hesitating when Liu Jia cheerfully agreed.

"Of course, no problem. We’re all on the same side. Yuan would never blame us."

Hearing Liu Jia’s phrase, "we’re all on the same side," Li Lanrong’s cheeks flushed slightly. She gave the tall, sturdy Liu Jia a deep look, a strange feeling stirring in her eyes.

Liu Jia had an outgoing personality and stood 1.9 meters tall. While not exactly handsome, his height was a huge plus. Since he played basketball often, he had some muscle definition and no longer looked as skinny as he had at the start of school.

She had to admit, she was kind of into this type...

Li Lanrong shook the distracting thoughts from her head. Her cheeks still slightly pink, she looked at her three roommates, Ge Chenchen, Gao Xin, and Shen Xiyu, and asked with a smile, "Do you guys want to go check out Li Yuan’s startup base?"

Ge Chenchen’s eyes lit up. She nodded with a grin. "Sure! It’s the weekend and we have nothing else to do. Let’s go see what Li Yuan’s company looks like."

Gao Xin also smiled and replied, "Then let’s go together. Speaking of which, I’m really curious to see what kind of company could develop a social forum like ’Zhihu’."

"Hehe, after dinner last night, I went back to the dorm and registered a Zhihu account. I ended up surfing online for several hours! It’s really interesting and so different from other forums. Especially that ’Confession Wall’—the replies are hilarious and intriguing. There are just so many talented people online..."

Xu Ziqiang suddenly chimed in, "That ’Confession Wall’ is definitely interesting. It’s like a huge matchmaking forum. I bet it’ll turn into a dating section eventually..."

Gao Xin pursed her lips and stifled a laugh. "Haha, isn’t that what it is? A matchmaking forum? It’s just aimed at college students, giving us another way to meet people. It’s perfect for a girl with social anxiety like me."

"Then let’s go together. We shouldn’t keep Li Yuan waiting too long," Li Lanrong said. She then remembered something and looked at the silent Shen Xiyu.

"Right, Xiyu, are you coming with us?"

Everyone in their dorm knew that Shen Xiyu had a huge problem with Li Yuan, all because of Xia Zhijin. She often complained to Xia Zhijin about this or that supposed flaw of his. It had even gotten to the point where the normally gentle, mild-tempered Xia Zhijin couldn’t help but get angry and snap back at her.

Ge Chenchen and Gao Xin also glanced curiously at Shen Xiyu, awaiting her answer.

Shen Xiyu was about to refuse, but meeting their gazes, her eyes darted. She straightened up and replied in a pointed tone, "Of course, I’m going. Why wouldn’t I? I want to see for myself what kind of company Li Yuan has. I hope it actually lives up to its reputation and isn’t just an empty shell company."

The others, Liu Jia included, just smiled without saying a word.

Zhihu has already launched nationwide, and she’s still saying this stuff? What a joke!

The group walked toward the academic building, laughing and chatting, with the conversation always circling back to Li Yuan.

"Chenchen, I want to ask you something, if you don’t mind," Wu Hao said, trying to start a gossipy conversation with Ge Chenchen.
