Chapter 392: Taking Sides

Translator: Strivon

Fan Qu was the one calling. Yue Zheng just accepted a favor from him, upgrading their venue. In any case, he had to demonstrate an attitude that was out of the norm, ”Hello, Brother Fan. Looking for me?”

”Do you have time to talk?”

Having heard him, Yue Zheng walked deeper into the suite. In any case, right now there wasn't anyone paying attention to him. He closed the door upon entering the suite and found a sofa to sit. Only then did he discover how tense his muscles had been.

Motherfucker. How did such a small scene become like this!?

Yue Zheng couldn't hold back a sigh before saying, ”Brother Fan, you can talk.”

Fan Qu said, ”I suddenly recalled something when I left. Is there anybody of your group from Acumen College?”

”Yeah, what's the matter?”

Yue Zheng turned his head as he spoke. It was quite a coincidence. Through the crack of the suite's door, he just so happened to see Tian Si, the peaceful beauty, standing next to Luo Nan. She had a faint smile as she listened to Mo Peng brag. Her bearing and manners were truly incomparable!

”There's a girl. Is her name Tian Si?”

He gasped.

For a second, Yue Zheng almost believed that he had his mind read by Fan Qu. After a panic, he realized that this was probably a coincidence. He gave two grunts and said, ”Yes, there is.”

Fan Qu's tone was relaxed, ”How do you know her?”

Yue Zheng also tried probing as well, ”A younger alumni of Sixth Middle brought her. He transferred over to Acumen College when he entered the next grade. What's the matter? Do you have a grudge with Tian Si?”

Fan Qu laughed in a very exaggerated manner, ”If I have formed grudges with a beauty, then I have failed in life. It's nothing. I'm just asking. You know, I've taken two years of advanced studies at Acumen College before. This Tian Si is an officer of their Alumni Society. I've crossed paths with her before, and I just recalled her. She probably forgot me completely by now.”

”So it was like this.” Yue Zheng thought to himself that this Tian Si was often recognized as a good resource at school. It’s got to have been at least three years since Fan Qu came out of advanced studies, and he still remembered her.

The more the resource was like this, the more effort Yue Zheng was able to muster...but he needed the chance to make a move!

There was something Yue Zheng couldn't figure out at all. Tian Si was such a beauty. She had the figure, and she had the way with words. She was a refined and graceful character at Acumen College. Why was she acting all docile toward Luo Nan, such a stiff. wooden kid?

Even if a girl wanted a fallback guy, normally she wouldn't choose someone like him, right?

Fan Qu laughed at this time, telling him, ”Zhengster, you came at just the right time today. I just so happen to have a few friends from nearby colleges; Acumen College, Cloud City School of Business. People from all over, and all sorts of people. Come and play when you have the time. I'll introduce you to one another.”

Arrogance was baked deep in Yue Zheng's bone. He wasn't the sort to agree easily. He just asked, ”Who are they?”

Fan Qu said a few names, and Yue Zheng's eyes lit up. Yup, they were famous characters in the circle of the second generation rich.

Though his family was considered part of the upper-class in Xia City, his family was still lacking when compared to the names Fan Qu mentioned. During normal encounters, it was hard to avoid fawning over them and flattering them. He didn't like that. To meet them in this sort of gaming center was a more ideal situation.

”Okay, I will go for sure. Brother Fan, help me...introduce.” Actually, Yue Zheng wanted to say 'refer', but he was affected by his pride, so he switched words.

”No problem, no problem.” Fan Qu laughed heartily on his end, feeling great. Then he said, ”Wait a moment,” out of nowhere. It seemed like he had some work he had to do.

Yue Zheng replied, ”You're busy Brother Fan. We can get in contact later.”

Fan Qu said, ”It's nothing,” but later he still bid goodbye for the moment. Yet at the very end, he suddenly said, ”Zhengster, I see that you're quite troubled with the people you're with. How about I bring over the two from my end and link up with you over there. This will give you support, and later you can return the favor.”

Yue Zheng's heart started beating faster, and he said, ”That's inappropriate. It's inappropriate. I should be the one going over first to say hello.”

”It's nothing. Your Yue Family's pharmaceutical business is so big. Everyone is equal. Everyone there is familiar with it. You all have some relations with each other. Giving friends support is what should be done.”

With Fan Qu speaking in such a way, Yue Zheng had no strength to refuse.

He thought about that group's history and level. If two people really did come over bringing drinks, delivering a fruit plate or something, his reputation within this circle would be completely supported.

”Okay, Brother Fan. Then I will thank you first.”

”It's nothing. It's nothing. We're bros for life after all!”

Yue Zheng chuckled as he ended the call. Fan Qu, on the other hand, drew in a deep breath. His heart-rate had accelerated, and he felt that this was his chance to show great face.

His thoughts took another turn, and he suddenly felt a bit unfortunate.

It was unfortunate that the people in this luxury room were poor students. Though their attractiveness rating was high, they weren't people in normal circles. It would be best to greet a few friends that he normally mingled with in the following situation, then he would properly depart. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to show off, like wearing fancy clothes at night.

The thought was formed, and Yue Zheng could no longer control himself. He used the search function of his wristband as he laid on the sofa. He searched to see if there were any friends nearby doing activities.

He just wanted to give it a try is all. How was he to know that he would be so lucky. There truly was a batch of people nearby. They were here at Cloud City Water Village. Though they weren't in the same building, they were only a few steps away.

Yue Zheng hesitated slightly before waving his hand and snapping his fingers. He used his usual manners to make contact from someone in that group. ”Hello, Old Su. I'm pretty close to you. Just see where I am...Aurora Cloud City. The flagship store of Frost River Reality, yes. The one that just opened. I'm with a bunch of kids here, my little sister's friends. It's quite annoying babysitting them.”

He kicked his heels against the ground, pretending to create small talk. Then he began to press, ”Come over to play. We can chat at the very least. You're talking about the attractiveness level? You know my little sister has good taste....hahaha, yep. You also know my taste.”

”Sure, come shake them up. Shake them in the car, or shake them in bed, if you have the skills that is. Oh right, just drop dead if you ruin my little sister's plan. And drop dead if you steal my prey!”

Yue Zheng laughed as he ended the call and suddenly clapped. His restless legs stomped the ground, propping his body up. It was as if warmth channeled through his body from head to toe, making him full of strength for the time being.

He walked out the suite with large strides, and he began to ponder over what sort of activities to do next. He mulled over the atmosphere for now. For instance, he could be a bit more low-key, conceal his claws and teeth, and let these people squander around while he waited for the two groups of people come in one after another. Then he would enter the stage brilliantly, instantly being reborn with a body of gold.

His thoughts led him to be quite pleased with himself, his mouth in a wide smile. At this time, he just so happened to hear Mo Peng, the jabbering dude, speak once more, ”Nanster, I saw that you no longer have doctor's orders when you scanned. Is your body completely recovered?”

”My state's fine.” Luo Nan grunted in response.

”Since your body is fine, let's all go to area A. The more people, the livelier the game!”
