Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 124 Reunion at Yenching University
After thinking it over for a moment and struggling with the decision, Liu's mother decided to ask her daughter for an explanation.

She asked in surprise, "Shishi, you two have been together for so long, hasn't he ever tried to touch you?"

Liu Shishi frowned slightly, her expression a mixture of shyness and resistance, and said softly, "Mom, why are you asking about this? This is a private matter between Yi Yi and me."

Mrs. Liu sighed, her daughter still didn't understand the key point: "Silly daughter, I'm just concerned about you. It's perfectly normal for young couples to enjoy each other's company."

You two have spent time alone together; how could a hot-blooded young man resist? Unless you're not charming enough, and Song Ci isn't interested in you.

After saying that, he subconsciously glanced at Miss Liu's chest, and couldn't help but shake his head. It was indeed unremarkable and needed to develop.

Liu Shishi noticed her mother's gaze, immediately crossed her arms, her cheeks flushed, and the blush spread all the way to her ears. She was somewhat embarrassed and angry: "Nonsense, who said Yi Yi isn't interested in me? He's a bad guy."

That scoundrel used to seem honest, but now he's always groping her; he's absolutely wicked.

I was just trying to cause trouble at the door, but it's the dead of winter, my hands are freezing cold, and it would be icy to put them inside my clothes.

Seeing her daughter's shy and bashful yet alluring appearance, Liu's mother secretly guessed that something must have happened between the young couple.

Seeing her mother's ambiguous smile, Liu Shishi realized what was going on and felt a little surprised. Her parents used to be very protective of her older brother, so why did they seem to be encouraging him now?
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mom, didn't you and Dad object to me being affectionate with Yi-yi before?"

Liu's mother smoothed the messy strands of hair from her daughter's forehead. At first glance, her daughter's face did not have that bright and beautiful feel.

However, her charm lies in her gentle and pure appearance, which is very pleasing to the eye and should make her very popular with young boys.

I felt a little emotional; in the blink of an eye, my daughter is already a young woman, and in a few years she'll be getting married and having children.

Liu's mother gently patted her daughter's back and explained earnestly, "You were still young then, not even an adult, so naturally we were worried."

Moreover, having sex with a man too early is bad for your health, and besides, it's always the girl who suffers in this kind of thing.

Now that your relationship with Song Ci is stable, your father and I can tell that he genuinely likes you and doesn't want to dump you just because he's successful in his career.

You'll be 20 years old this March (by Chinese reckoning). When it comes to matters of love and intimacy, if he's interested, you can't always refuse; too much of a good thing can be bad. With Song Ci's looks, there are plenty of women willing to throw themselves at her.

I reckon he's surrounded by temptations now, so you need to be smart and watch out, lest another woman take advantage of you one day.

After listening to her mother's words of experience, Liu Shishi nodded in agreement, and a name immediately came to mind: "Shen Sisi".

This wicked woman has been relentlessly trying to steal from her home. Thinking that she will be going back to the film crew to film after the New Year, and that her rival will be able to meet her boyfriend again when university starts, Liu Shishi suddenly has a headache.

In the past two years, she has traveled all over the country and met all kinds of people on film sets. She has gained some experience and is no longer the blank slate she once was. Now she thinks more carefully and keeps a few things in mind when she does things.

Just like when she spoke up for Jiang Tiantian in front of her boyfriend and helped her best friend get a job transfer, she wasn't unaware that "interfering in politics within the inner palace" might displease Song Ci, but she still did it anyway.

She wanted a reliable informant within Tengda Group to keep an eye on the women around her boyfriend, which is why she spoke up for Jiang Tiantian despite the pressure.

Seeing that Ms. Liu seemed to be deep in thought, her mother, fearing that her daughter might feel burdened, added, "You young people, it's best to let things happen naturally."

Liu Shishi was in a state of turmoil when she suddenly recalled that she and her boyfriend had failed to consummate their relationship on New Year's Day.

Thinking about how that jerk said he would make up for the regret of last time on his birthday, March 10th, and would give her a surprise afterwards, she was momentarily unsettled, feeling both fear and anticipation.

The temperature in Beiping in February was still quite low, and the spring breeze carried a hint of chill, yet it was quietly spreading vitality in every corner of the Yenching Garden.

On February 13th, just after the Lantern Festival and the official end of the winter vacation, Song Ci returned to the beautiful Peking University campus to continue his studies.

Liu Shishi returned to the set of "Young Warriors of the Yang Clan" in Hengdian last week to complete the filming of the last few scenes, making a final push to wrap up filming.

The lingering effects of the winter break had not yet completely dissipated. The weeping willows by Weiming Lake, though not yet lush with green due to the spring chill, were already swaying gently in the breeze, as if welcoming the returning Peking University students. As the students gradually returned, the campus became lively again.

Students, dragging their suitcases and filled with anticipation and excitement for the new semester, set foot on this familiar land.

As always, Song Ci traveled light, carrying only a simple backpack, and returned to dormitory 310 with ease.

Because of the long distance, Lu Yugang and Tang Xiaochuan set off early and returned to school yesterday. The two of them got back to their dormitory first and had already cleaned and tidied up their room.

"Oh, finally back! I almost forgot what it's like to study during this winter break." The chubby Lin Hao and Song Ci entered the dormitory one after the other.

As soon as Song Ci returned to the dormitory, she saw Fatty Lin putting down his suitcase and loudly exclaiming.

"That's right. My mom nags me every day at home. The village is very lively during the Spring Festival, with firecrackers going off every day. It's so noisy that I can't concentrate on studying. Plus, I have to do farm work. Our dormitory is much more comfortable."

Tang Xiaochuan responded with a smile, saying that he is no longer as shy and introverted as he was when he first came to Peking University a year ago.

Because of his hard work, he received a first-class scholarship from Guanghua College last semester, and he already exudes a sense of confidence when chatting with classmates and teachers.

With the good food at Peking University and the nutrition I received, I grew taller and heavier, and was no longer as short and thin as I was in my freshman year.

He already has female classmates pursuing him, and he is currently in the prime of his youth, enjoying a time of great success.

"Oh, Fourth Brother is here." Upon seeing Song Ci, Tang Xiaochuan quickly took out the local specialties from his hometown that he had brought to school.

"Brothers, these are Guifei dates, a specialty from my hometown. I'm going to wash them." With that, he picked up the packaging bag and went to the bathroom.

"Fourth brother, Happy New Year!" Lu Yugang also put down his book, stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Song Ci was very happy to be reunited with her three roommates after a long separation, and to gather again in the familiar and cozy little space.

"Gang-ge, Xiao-chuan, Happy New Year!" Song Ci greeted them with a smile, put down her backpack, patted Lin Hao's chubby shoulder, and couldn't help but tease him, "Hao-zi, you've gained back all the fat you lost during the semester of exercise after the Spring Festival."

Lin Hao spread his hands and said helplessly, "Don't even mention it. During the New Year, we ate all kinds of pickled vegetables every day. I was so sick of them. They have no nutrition and make you gain weight. It's so infuriating."

Although Lin Hao was sly, gossipy, and somewhat spoiled due to his privileged family background, he was actually closest to Song Ci among his three roommates. Song Ci was also from Nanjing in her previous life, and the two shared many similarities in their lifestyles.

Moreover, Lin Hao's elders were all cadres in Jiangsu Province, and his family was an official family. They did not have the same sense of awe towards Song Ci as others, so Song Ci and Lin Hao got along better.

"Try it, brothers!" In no time, Tang Xiaochuan washed the special imperial concubine dates clean, opened the bag with both hands, and handed it to Song Ci.

Feeling her roommate's attentiveness, Song Ci couldn't refuse Tang Xiaochuan's kindness and grabbed a few plump, green dates, saying, "Thank you."

Since his identity was revealed last year when he appeared on the rich list, his three roommates' attitudes towards him have changed drastically, making him feel noticeably reserved when they are together.

Although several months have passed, the three found that Song Ci was still as gentle and polite to them as before, but in daily life, they were clearly showing a hint of ingratiation and accommodation towards Song Ci.

Tang Xiaochuan didn't forget his other two good roommates either. He brought the dates to Lin Hao and Lu Yugang and asked them to taste them, smiling as he asked, "How is it? Sweet, right?"

Lu Yugang was no longer surprised by Tang Xiaochuan's excessive flattery of Song Dynasty poetry. He himself was no better than Tang Xiaochuan. After all, no one could be as calm and composed as they used to when facing a billionaire.

Lu Yugang and Tang Xiaochuan had privately discussed their future. Both of them wanted to stay in Beiping and make a name for themselves in the capital.

Song Ci will be their most important network of contacts in the future. As long as Song Ci remembers this friendship and helps them out at crucial moments, they will benefit immensely.

The elite students of Peking University's Guanghua School of Management are well aware of the true value of being among the top ten richest people. Even if they earn a million-dollar annual salary after graduation, they still wouldn't be able to earn that much money in several lifetimes.

To be on par with Song Dynasty poetry, one would need to enter the system and become a high-ranking official, but that would be at least twenty years from now.

"Fourth brother, you have to reimburse me for some money."

Under Song Ci's puzzled gaze, Lin Hao, while munching on a date, took three pieces of paper from his suitcase and stuffed them into Song Ci's hand.

Song Ci looked down and couldn't help but chuckle. It turned out to be three movie tickets for "Nightclub," which meant that Lin Hao's family had gone to see the movie during the Spring Festival.

Surprisingly, Fatty Lin actually went to support Liu Shishi's movie. Song Ci chuckled, "I can't reimburse him!"

Lin Hao's small eyes widened: "My family originally wanted to see 'Fearless' starring Jet Li, but I only convinced them to go see 'Nightclub' with me because of my senior sister. She's your girlfriend, so you have to reimburse me."

Song Ci spread his hands and refused with a smile: "This is between you and Shishi. You promised to support her movie debut, so why are you asking me to reimburse your movie ticket?"

Lu Yugang, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Has Shishi's movie been released yet? I completely forgot about it. If it's still showing, I have to go support it."

"It's still showing in theaters. You and Xiaochuan can go see it this weekend."

"Nightclub" has been in theaters for almost a month now, and the number of screenings in theaters has been very small these days. The daily box office has dropped to less than 30,000 yuan, but the cumulative box office has reached 54.3 million yuan. Tengda Culture has definitely made a fortune.

Lu Yugang nodded: "Xiao Chuan, let's find some time to go see this movie. It's starring the fourth brother's family, we definitely have to support it."

"it is good!"

The four chatted away, their laughter and conversation filling the entire dormitory, the air brimming with youthful energy.

The following day, February 14th, was Valentine's Day, and the entire Peking University campus was filled with a romantic atmosphere.

Since classes haven't officially started yet, students have even more free time. Couples stroll through the classically beautiful Yenching Garden or wander out of the campus to explore the magnificent ancient city of Beiping, enjoying the most romantic Valentine's Day.

After spending more than half a year together, Lu Yugang and Sun Jingyi officially became a couple and went out to celebrate the holiday with his girlfriend early in the morning.

Even Tang Xiaochuan was invited out by a girl, enjoying his youth and living life to the fullest.

"Hey, fourth brother, it's just the two of us in the dorm now. It's true what they say, outstanding men are always lonely."

Lin Hao sat at his desk, resting his chin on one hand and listlessly dragging the mouse with the other, lazily staring at the computer screen.

Song Ci, who was standing nearby, was processing work emails and checking the progress of TT Voice development reported by Wang Jing, as well as the relevant data of the newly launched online game of the same name, "Wulin Gaiden," by Tengda.

"Don't drag me into this. I don't want to, but you don't have the means."

Lin Hao was speechless for a moment, but it was indeed true. The girls in the school who wanted to pursue Song Ci could stretch from the north gate to the east gate of Peking University. Unfortunately, Song, the school's heartthrob, had someone he liked and treated all the other girls in the school equally, without giving them any special treatment.

The desktop vibrated slightly. Lin Hao peeked out and said, "It's your phone, Lao Si."

Song Ci looked down at her phone next to the computer and received a text message from Shen Sisi.

"Song Ci, I'm downstairs in your dorm, could you come out for a bit?"

With a sigh, Song Ci understood Shen Sisi's purpose in seeking her out today. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to go down and face the situation, intending to clarify things with Shen Sisi today and make a clean break.

Closing her laptop, Song Ci looked puzzled, feeling helpless: "I'll make things clear to her later and make her give up. I hope Sisi will back down, so we can at least remain ordinary friends."

A vibrant young woman was lingering downstairs in the men's dormitory of Guanghua School of Management. Her gentle and beautiful face was a striking sight on campus, attracting frequent glances from the male students coming and going.

This girl is Shen Muyi, the campus belle of Peking University. At this moment, she is filled with anticipation and nervousness, waiting for her beloved Song, the campus hunk.

Today, Ms. Shen wore a long trench coat in a classic khaki color, like the warm spring sun. The belt was casually tied, perfectly outlining her slender waist and showcasing her feminine curves.

She wore a simple white shirt underneath, the neckline slightly open, revealing her fair neck and exuding an effortless sexiness. She paired it with blue skinny jeans, perfectly showcasing her long, straight legs.

This outfit perfectly highlights all of Ms. Shen's strengths, exuding a warm and charming aura from the inside out.

Shen Sisi's long hair cascaded over her shoulders, swaying gently in the breeze, its strands contrasting beautifully with the hem of her trench coat. Her face was delicate and refined, but a hint of anxiety and trepidation flickered in her eyes.
