After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 158 Falling in Love While Fighting Each Other
Inside the puppet livestream room.

Following Yan Yu and Li Yubai, a new wave of excitement has been set off!
[The Crown Prince? Aren't he and Li Yubai mortal enemies? They've actually teamed up?]

[Is the person upstairs forgetful? Have they forgotten that Li Yubai and the Crown Prince jointly organized Yan Yu's birthday party last time? I think these two big shots fell in love while they were fighting each other!]

Rumor has it that the Crown Prince is unbelievably handsome! Are we in for a treat tonight?

Jiang Shu glanced at the live stream chat but ignored it. Her attention was also on the stage, and like everyone else, she was curious about who was giving special thanks.

On the stage, Feng Li, dressed in flamboyant attire, walked out.

Unlike Li Yubai's cool black and white attire, Feng Li wore a bright wine red outfit. Her peach blossom eyes sparkled like stars, and her overly delicate face had a pale, almost deathly aura. She was arrogant and fiery, yet also exuded a sickly charm.

In the live stream, the fans who love good looks went wild once again!
[Is it... this beautiful?!]

Is this some kind of reincarnation of Daji? How could the heir to the world's largest conglomerate look so devastatingly beautiful?

I used to think Yan Yu was my only true love, then Li Yubai became my second, and now my third one has appeared!

Wait! Isn't that the handsome young man who went viral a while ago? Even those blurry photos were breathtaking!!

Apart from Zhou Houde, everyone present was seeing Feng Li in person for the first time.

Even Zhou Houde only realized at this moment that the beautiful man who had amazed him in Xinghua Lane actually had such a noble status.

"No wonder, he dared to call and berate those literary giants..." Zhou Houde sighed, feeling both amazed and terrified. Luckily, he hadn't dared to scold this person for their absurd tutoring of Jiang Shu's Chinese, considering their good looks.
Li Yubai looked around at everyone and said in a solemn tone:
"My child also took the college entrance examination this year. During the preparation period, several teachers stayed up late to explain the questions, which was very helpful. Now, please welcome eleven special-grade teachers, including Teacher Zhou Changqing, Teacher Liu Liyun, etc., to the stage."

Zhou Houde's father, Zhou Changqing, and a group of key figures in the education sector who had been pulled into a group chat by Feng Li to stay up all night discussing problems, went on stage with blank expressions.

Li Yubai glanced at Feng Li: "Go and distribute the thank-you gifts."

Feng Li paused for a moment: "I'll just show my face, you handle the heavy lifting, okay?"

Li Yubai's expression turned slightly serious: "You made this mess, so you have to clean it up yourself."

Feng Li gave a cold snort, took eleven gift boxes from her assistant, and distributed them to everyone according to the names on the labels: "Thank you for your hard work during that time."

[Ahhh! This is truly a love-hate relationship! The Crown Prince actually listens to Li Yubai so much? The aloof, abstinent tycoon and the arrogant Crown Prince are actually quite a good pairing!]

Let's get this party started!

[The Crown Prince is so handsome! How can a man have such captivating, alluring eyes?! I'm completely mesmerized!]

[I really want to know what the gift the Crown Prince prepared himself is!!!]

On stage, the key figures in the education sector still looked bewildered.

Feng Li glanced at the group and reminded them, "It's that problem-solving group. The one where you stay up until three or four in the morning every day."

The core teachers: "!!!"

Finally, they met the scourge that had almost driven them crazy in the group chat. The core members held their breath, wanting to curse but not daring to. In the end, they accepted the gift boxes one by one, without opening them, and returned to their seats in silence and frustration.

After presenting their thank-you gifts, Li Yubai and Feng Li left the stage, handing it over to Yan Yu once again.

The atmosphere became lively once again.

Zhou Houde, who was not far from Zhou Changqing, walked over slowly and asked, "Dad, open it and see what's inside?"

Zhou Changqing glared at his son: "Don't be so materialistic. Even a greeting card marks the end of that agonizing period, and I'm very happy!"

Zhou Houde paused for a moment: "It's not that I'm greedy, but I also contributed to those all-nighters, so I should at least take a look."

Zhou Changqing gave a light hum and opened it: "Then let's take a look."

Inside the gift box, a property ownership certificate lay quietly.

Zhou Houde and his son: "..." [Wow, it's a property deed! The young master of the puppet streamer's family is so rich! He's spending what most people could only dream of in a lifetime!]

[No, from this moment on, he is no longer the crown prince of the streamer family, but the crown prince of Li Yubai...]

[You can just entertain yourself upstairs, but be careful not to get your account banned!]

Zhou Houde picked it up and flipped through it: "Dad, it's an apartment in Jiangcheng New District, a large four-bedroom apartment. The price of apartments in Jiangcheng has now risen to 15,000 yuan per square meter. We can't accept this gift worth more than two million yuan."

Zhou Changqing suddenly stood up: "We have to retreat. The rumored Crown Prince really is a spendthrift!"

He went backstage to find someone, and at the same time, several key teachers also went backstage looking panicked.

Li Yubai, Feng Li, Ning Yunzhan, and Rong Jingchen were chatting backstage.

The assistant came in and whispered something in Feng Li's ear. Feng Li got up and saw the group of teachers at the door of the lounge.

He raised a slight brow with his peach blossom eyes: "What's going on here?"

"We were indeed unhappy that the Crown Prince made us stay up all night explaining problems, but we didn't dislike those promising students who were willing to improve. It was semi-voluntary. We can't accept such a grand gesture."

“It’s nothing special,” Feng Shili scoffed. “It’s nothing to me. If you don’t like it, just burn the house down. You can take back what you’ve given away. I can’t afford to lose face like this.”

The teachers had mixed feelings, but they finally gave up.

Jiang Shu glanced at the time and, as Yan Yu's concert drew to a close, lazily tossed out a remark:
"I'm going to find my Li Yubai and my Crown Prince. Babies, the night is lonely and cold, go to sleep early!"

Amidst a chorus of complaints, the live stream was promptly shut down!

The next day was Jiang Shu's college entrance celebration banquet.

Considering the remoteness of Xinghua Village, we ultimately chose a hotel with a high cost-performance ratio.

Lin Shuangshuang and her companions, having received the invitation, stood bewildered at the hotel entrance. They couldn't help but ask Jiang Shu, who was there to greet them, "The best hotel in Jiangcheng isn't just expensive; it's ridiculously overpriced! You call this great value for money?"

Jiang Shu paused for a moment: "It's said that it's from Ning Yunzhan's family. They gave me the highest level of discount."

What discount?

"0.1% off. Plus, they'll give you the extra personal service from their boss, Ning Yunzhan."

Qin Dou immediately became excited: "So, I'm going to meet my idol Ning Yunzhan today?"

Jiang Shu nodded: "I'll arrange for you to sit at the same table later."

Qin Dou's tone became solemn as he raised his hand and swore, "Jiang Shu, don't worry, even if I go abroad and meet many more classmates, I will never let them surpass you in my heart!"

At 11 o'clock, a rural bus with severely damaged paint appeared at the hotel entrance.

A group of emaciated, elderly, and disabled villagers, dressed in obviously newly bought cheap clothes, got out of the car with uneasy expressions and walked into the hotel.

Just as the security guard was about to reach out to stop them, Ning Yunzhan, accompanied by the hotel manager, came out personally and politely invited the group inside.

Inside the hotel.

Looking at Ning Yunzhan, Li Yubai, and the others who were personally gesturing for the villagers to sit down, Jiang Liuyun asked Jiang Shu with a questioning expression, "You and these people haven't divided the spoils yet?"

"They were separated. They were separated right after we left the village," Jiang Shu said casually.

Jiang Liuyun frowned: "How did they all end up here?"

"We're still friends even after breaking up! I invited them to my college entrance celebration party again, and since everyone was free, they all came."

"Take it easy," Jiang Liuyun gently reminded him. "Don't play with fire and get burned."
