Tang Xiu secretly sighed inside, watching the expressions of the people before him. He never liked boasting. nor did he like to look high-profile; yet he also didn’t want to keep concealing what he was. After all, these classmates of his were needed to get along with him for the next four years. If he kept concealing the truth from them, a knot would form in their hearts when they learned about it later, hence it would be better to expose it now.
Additionally, when those adopted orphans were sent to Jingmen Island, he also had an idea in mind to recruit some capable classmates in college, so that they would be useful to him in the future. Shanghai University was one of the better education institutions in the country, and any of its students who passed the tests, even though they were only nerds at present, could become very competent and able to do tons of work after undergoing some training, since each of them was very intelligent.
“Buddies, don’t continue to dawdle, will ya? Get your asses back to the dorm quickly and get ready!” Tang Xiu smiled and turned to the dorm’s door.
Yue Kai, Hu Qingsong, and the rest exchanged looks a few times, and then their gazes fell on Xue Chao at the same time. They finally realized that the relationship between Xue Chao and Tang Xiu was quite unusual. Many things remained oblivious to them, yet Xue Chao was crystal clear about them!
Seeing their eyes and expressions, Xue Chao hastily turned around to rush toward Tang Xiu, “Hey, Boss Tang, wait for me!”
However, just as he ran a few steps, the Yue Kai, Hu Qingsong, and Zhao Liang trio pulled him back and squeezed him in between them. Zhao Liang grinned and said, “Xue, don’t pretend you know nothing, will ya?! Speak! How many cars does Eldest Brother Tang have? You just said that in his villa…”
Remembering Tang Xiu’s exhortation to him about this matter, Xue Chao desperately shook his head and said, “No, I won’t say anything. I promised Boss Tang not to say anything. Blame that old Hu! If he wasn’t showing off just now, I wouldn’t have exposed Boss Tang’s secret!”
“Hey, hurry up! If you guys wanna know, I’ll tell you all in the evening.” Tang Xiu turned his head and looked at the four, “If any of you are late and unable to be ready at the campus entrance before six p.m., I’ll tell Mu Wanying how idiotic and bad you guys are, and how much you are not compatible with her. You can be sure that I’ll tell her tons of bad things about you!”
After hearing those threats, the Yue Kai trio hurriedly let go of Xue Chao, striding after Tang Xiu. The trio let out their best smiles, bowing and scraping repeatedly. Throwing out flattering words didn’t require money, to begin with, thus they madly spit them out.

Dusk had come. Three cars were parked nearby Shanghai University’s gate. Tang Xiu’s group of five sat in three cars, waiting for the arrival of Mu Wanying’s group of four women.
Time flew by, and it was only a few minutes away from 6 p.m. Mu Wanying’s group of four turned out to be late. When they came up to the three cars, Mu Wanying looked calm, while the three good sisters around her had a look at the three cars and seemed surprised. Yue Kai, Hu Qingsong, and the gang were all decently dressed and acted like gentlemen.
“Did you wait for us for a long time, Tang Xiu?” asked Mu Wanying with a chuckle.
“Nah, we also just arrived for a while.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “Anyways, what do you want to eat tonight? It’s my treat!”
“It’s up to you, we’ll follow your arrangement,” Mu Wanying answered with a smile.
“All right, I’ll arrange it then!” Tang Xiu nodded and said with a smile, “Anyways, let me introduce you, this one is…”
With the introduction from Tang Xiu, the rest finally got to know each other. Mu Wanying also introduced the three good sisters of hers; namely, the tall Li Xinjie, Jiang Feiyan, and Hu Wei.
“All right, let’s get in the car!” Tang Xiu opened the driver’s door and took a seat directly.
What made Yue Kai, Hu Qingsong, and Zhao Liang helpless was that Mu Wanying and her three sisters were all going to Tang Xiu’s Land Rover SUV. Despite showing a charming smile at them, not one among these girls hinted at them that they would board their cars.
“Damn! I’m so depressed. If I knew it beforehand, I would rather buy that Land Rover Range Rover series than this one!” Yue Kai grunted resentfully in a murmur before he got into his car.
The cars started up.
Tang Xiu drove his car out of the campus gate. He then heard Mu Wanying who sat on the front seat speaking to him with a smile, “Tang Xiu, you didn’t participate in the military training for new students, what did you do during that time? Anyhow, I also met your teacher-in-charge, Miss Han, yesterday. She seemed very annoyed when she talked about you.”
As for why Han Qingwu was mad at him, Tang Xiu was perfectly well aware. After all, he gave her an indifferent and aloof appearance the last time he met her. That must have made her incensed and testy. Regardless, he didn’t want to have too many contacts with Han Qingwu. Since she was already angry with him, he hoped that she would keep maintaining a distance with him. “Just a bit of misunderstanding, if you ask me.”
Nevertheless, Tang Xiu didn’t want to explain more, hence the casual reply.
Mu Wanying pursed her lips. As a woman, she had a unique, particular sixth sense about such things. She had a feeling that Han Qingwu acted differently toward Tang Xiu. She had also heard the hearsay about Han Qingwu and Tang Xiu recently. She learned that after Tang Xiu passed the test to enter Shanghai University, Han Qingwu did all she could to be transferred from Star City First High School, and then managed to come work at Shanghai University. Though one should constantly strive to make progress, and coming to teach at Shanghai University would also give a better career and future than staying at Star City First High School, she felt that it was highly likely to be related to Tang Xiu.
“Junior Brother Tang, could it be that this year’s freshmen sons of local tycoons gathered in your dorm? A Land Rover Range Rover series, a BMW, and an Audi. These are luxurious cars that even many college students who have graduated long ago can’t afford, no?” Jiang Feiyan looked gorgeous. She was also the one among the girls who loved to smile the most, a smile had never left her face since they met.
“I really don’t know if all those people gathered in our dorm,” Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “But Yue Kai and Hu Qingsong indeed hail from well-off families. If you sisters are interested in them, I can help you build the bridges, though.”
“Hahaha. Nope, we are interested in you,” Jiang Feiyan laughed and said, “Do you think you can receive all of us?”
“Hell no, I won’t look for a girlfriend before graduating from university.” Tang Xiu couldn’t help chuckling and said, “Besides, studying is quite taxing and hard already.”
“Pfft… Hahaha…”
Jiang Feiyan couldn’t bear to laugh and then said with a smile, “Junior Brother Tang, you’re so funny. It is usually the girls who use this excuse to reject boys. Never thought that you would actually use that excuse now. Speaking about it, when I was in junior high and high school, I often used that kind of excuse too. But in the university… the boys in university seem to like a type of gorgeous belle such as Wanying; or a type of oval pretty face, Xinjie; or a type of lass reeking with book aura, such as Weiwei. As for the type of girl I’m like, I’m quite unpopular here.”
