Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

Just then.

A small commotion broke out at the entrance of the cafeteria.

Liang Cheng has arrived.

Today he was wearing a well-tailored casual suit, without a tie, exuding a calm and refined air.

He came to the school to pick up Su Qingyu.

The moment he stepped into the cafeteria, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Countless gazes, filled with admiration, curiosity, and awe, all focused on him.

Liang Cheng ignored this and went straight to an empty seat to sit down, waiting for Su Qingyu to bring the food.

However, a figure took the tray and sat down opposite him first.

It's Zhong Xiaoai.

Today she wore a simple white dress, her long hair flowing over her shoulders, exuding a cool and unique aura.

Unlike other girls, she didn't show any infatuation or timidity.

Her eyes were sharp and bright, carrying a sense of scrutiny and inquiry.

"Liang Cheng, it's been a long time."

Zhong Xiaoai got straight to the point, her voice clear and crisp.

"That was a beautifully played game."

Liang Cheng raised his eyes, looked at her, and smiled faintly: "You're joking, I don't understand what you're saying."

No, you understand.

Zhong Xiaoai shook her head, staring intently at him.

"From the very beginning, they used public opinion to put Qi Tongwei in a difficult position, forcing the Zhao family to respond."

"The ingenious tactical arrangements in the grand competition will lead to a thrilling and epic comeback from the brink of defeat."

"Finally, taking advantage of this momentum of courage and tragedy, we will use our power to force a resignation at the Standing Committee meeting, and under the pressure of maintaining stability, we will clear the biggest political obstacle to taking over the Red Star Factory in one fell swoop."

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was crystal clear.

"For ordinary people, it's a thrilling and exciting match."

"What I see is an art form with interconnected elements, which takes the use of humanity, public opinion, and political maneuvering to the extreme."

A hint of surprise flashed in Liang Cheng's eyes.

He didn't expect it.

This girl was able to see through every single one of his moves so clearly.

"You flatter me."

Liang Cheng still didn't admit it, but simply picked up his water glass and took a sip.

"Just lucky."

"Luck is an excuse that only the weak use."

Zhong Xiaoai leaned forward slightly and lowered her voice.

He spoke in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"The strong only believe in strategic planning."

Her eyes gleamed with admiration.

"Liang Cheng, my previous assessment of you may have been too low."

"You are not only a good businessman, but also a formidable strategist."

"Your appearance has made this originally dull game of chess in Handong more interesting."

There was a pause.

Zhong Xiaoai delivered her most important assessment of the day.

There was a deep meaning in those beautiful eyes.

"With you in the Liang family, they won't fall for the next twenty years."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what your next move will be after you've dealt with the Red Star Factory. How will you deal with the Zhao family?"

Done.

Without waiting for Liang Cheng's response, she picked up her plate, gracefully rose and left, leaving behind a thought-provoking silhouette.

Liang Cheng watched the direction she left, his smile gradually fading, and his eyes becoming deep.

This Zhong Xiaoai is no ordinary person.

......

Handong University.

The air was filled with the fragrance of grass and soil.

Golden sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves of the tall sycamore trees.

The path, covered with fallen leaves, is dappled with light and shadow, like scattered gold.

Liang Cheng's face returned to its usual lazy and easygoing expression.

Su Qingyu stood beside Liang Cheng, holding several thick professional books.

The two had just come out of the cafeteria together.

A few strands of Su Qingyu's hair were blown by the wind and clung to her slightly flushed cheeks.

Those bright eyes were filled with an irrepressible joy.

The toughest nut to crack is the Red Star Factory.

I'm finally going to get it.

Qi Tongwei's thrilling victory also brought Liang Cheng's strategic plan to a perfect close.

The series of good news finally put her mind at ease, which had been hanging in suspense for the past few days.

Liang Cheng naturally took the heavy books from her hands, and the weight of them made him raise an eyebrow slightly.

"Spended the whole day in the library again?"

The two walked side by side on the quiet tree-lined path.

Su Qingyu's steps became lighter.

"Well, with such a large operation like Speedy Logistics, if I don't learn more, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with you and will just become a pretty face."

She said it half-jokingly, but her tone revealed a seriousness.

Looking at the girl beside him, who was working hard silently and only wanted to catch up with him.

Liang Cheng felt a warmth in his heart.

He turned his head, looking at Su Qingyu's beautiful profile, which was bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, and suddenly teased her:

"Clear Rain".

"After what happened to Qi Tongwei, I reckon he won't be able to have a peaceful day at school anymore."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyu looked at him with amusement: "What, is our great hero afraid of becoming famous?"

I'm not afraid of becoming famous.

Liang Cheng changed the subject, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.

"What I'm afraid of are those enthusiastic female freshmen."

"Given our relationship, when are you going to officially make it a permanent position and make it public?"

"If I keep hiding this away, someone might really steal me away."

"Whoosh!"

Su Qingyu's cheeks instantly turned as red as ripe apples, the blush spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears.

She felt both embarrassed and ashamed, and subconsciously raised her hand.

He gently tapped Liang Cheng's arm.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Her voice was barely audible, and her eyes darted around.

She dared not look into Liang Cheng's smiling eyes.

"I...I haven't told my parents yet."

Upon hearing this...

Liang Cheng understood and was about to say a few soft words to appease her, thinking she was about to back down again.

Available in the next second.

Su Qingyu suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She took a deep breath.

As if using all her strength, she suddenly raised her head to meet Liang Cheng's surprised gaze.

At sunset.

Su Qingyu's eyes seemed to hold the stars, sparkling with a fearless courage and brilliance.

"but......"

"If you want... we can go home now."

"Anyway, my parents... will find out sooner or later."

Liang Cheng was completely stunned.

He never expected this.

Su Qingyu, who is usually gentle and even a little shy in front of him, actually has such a fierce and direct side.

This sudden reversal left him with a whole host of jokes he had prepared.

It all got stuck in my throat.

Looking into the girl's eyes, I saw an undeniable seriousness and determination.

Liang Cheng's playful intentions vanished instantly.
