On the first day of school, the school beauty in black stockings took me to a hotel.

It's a cheerleading outfit. It's red and white, with a short skirt, a crop top, white socks, and sneakers.

[You ran the wrong way, you idiot: I've already bought it! I'll wear this to cheer you on during Your Majesty's race! [Spins around]]

Looking at the cheerleading uniform, Liu Yu imagined Su Wanqing wearing it, and a surge of warmth suddenly welled up in his heart.

[If you can't beat them, run! When did you buy this?]

[You ran the wrong way, you idiot: Yesterday! I saw you guys were worried about sponsorship, so I thought I should do something. I originally wanted to give you the money directly, but I knew you wouldn't take it, so...hehe~]

[You ran the wrong way, you idiot: But don't worry, Your Majesty, I didn't tell my dad it was for you. I just said our school is having a basketball tournament, and I wanted to sponsor it to hone my business acumen. My dad was quite happy, saying I've grown up~]

[If you can't beat them, run! Thank you.]

[You idiot who ran the wrong way: What are you thanking me for! Do we need to say thank you to each other?]

[The idiot who ran in the wrong direction: Besides, this is an investment! Investing in my Majesty is a sure thing!]

Liu Yu smiled, and the last bit of awkwardness in his heart vanished.

Yes, they are a couple, so it's only right that they help each other.

If he keeps dwelling on "not being able to rely on his girlfriend," it will only make him seem distant.

[If you can't beat them, run away: Okay, then I'll play well and not let you down.]

[Running in the wrong direction, you idiot: Mm-hmm! Go for it! I'll bring my girlfriends to cheer you on! Wang Qian and Jiang Shan both said they'd go~]

[If you can't beat them, run!: When Du Peng and his friends found out, they were so excited they almost demolished their dorm room.]

[You ran the wrong way, you idiot: [smirking] I saw it, Du Peng thanked me in the group chat.]

Liu Yu exited the chat window and saw that Du Peng had indeed sent a long string of messages in the group "Nothing is difficult in the world if you are willing to let go (7)".

[Du Peng: Thank you, sister-in-law! Long live sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, you are our savior!]

[Du Peng: @Sister-in-law, don't worry, we'll definitely play well and not let our boss down, nor will we let you down!]

[Wang Qian: Wanqing, you're amazing! Now Du Peng doesn't have to look so worried every day.]

[Jiang Shan: Wanqing is amazing! Let's all cheer her on!]

[Su Wanqing: Everyone, just focus on the competition! Good luck! Go for it!]

The group chat was filled with jubilation.

Liu Yu put down his phone and looked at Du Peng: "Alright, stop jumping around, you're going to break the floor."

Du Peng then stopped: "Boss, you have no idea, my hands were shaking when I answered the phone just now. Su's Real Estate! That's one of the top real estate companies in Beijing! They actually contacted us for a small competition!"

"Now you know how amazing your sister-in-law is, right?" Li Ning said with a smile.

"Okay, okay! From now on, if my sister-in-law tells me to go east, I'll never go west! If my sister-in-law tells me to catch the dog, I'll never chase the chicken!"

Liu Yu waved his hand: "Alright, stop joking. They're just sponsoring us, not adopting us. We still have to compete on our own."

"Absolutely! With such good equipment, if we still can't win, I, Du Peng, will change my name!"

"Pengdu?" Zhang Chunli asked innocently.

"screw you!"

After the laughter subsided, Du Peng suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, boss, people from Su's Real Estate are coming to the school this afternoon to discuss the details. You have to come with me."

"What would I do there? You're the class monitor."

"You're the one involved! They sponsored us because of you, how can you not go? Besides, what if they want to meet you?"

"Why do you want to see me?"

"Let's see what the sister-in-law's boyfriend looks like! This is the initial screening for the future son-in-law!"

Liu Yu: "..."

He felt that Du Peng's words made some sense, but he didn't want to go.

He disliked these kinds of occasions, especially appearing as "Su Wanqing's boyfriend".

"I don't want to go," Liu Yu refused outright.

Du Peng grabbed Liu Yu's arm: "No way, boss! I'll be nervous if you don't go! I can't handle it alone! They're from a big company. What if I say the wrong thing and ruin the sponsorship?"

"Are you determined to drag me into this?"

"I'm not trying to drag you down, I'm just broadening your horizons! After you marry your sister-in-law, you'll be dealing with these business elites, right? This is a good opportunity for you to practice!"

"Why get married... we've only just started dating."

"Any relationship not aimed at marriage is just playing around! Boss, you can't play around with your sister-in-law!"

Liu Yu was defeated by Du Peng's logic.

He sighed, "Fine, fine, I'll go. But it's agreed, I'll just stand on the sidelines as a decorative vase and not say a word."

"No problem! You just need to be handsome! 4:30 PM, at the coffee shop near the entrance."

At 4:25 PM, at the "Top Students Never Fail" café outside the west gate of Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

Liu Yu and Du Peng sat by the window, with a glass of the cheapest lemonade in front of them.

"Boss, do you think the people who come later will be super serious? All dressed up, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and starting off with, 'Our Su Real Estate needs to evaluate your project'?"

Liu Yu glanced at him: "Can you watch less workplace dramas? They're just here to discuss sponsorship for a student competition, not to buy out our class."

"What if they think we're too shabby? I should have worn a suit!"

"We're students, so it's more authentic to be simple. If you come in a suit, people will think we're trying to scam them."

Just as Du Peng was about to retort, the coffee shop door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man walked in, around forty years old, with his hair neatly combed, carrying a genuine leather briefcase, and the watch on his wrist reflecting the sunlight.

The man looked around, his gaze landing on their table, and then he smiled and walked over.

"Are you Liu Yu and Du Peng?"

Du Peng jumped up: "Yes, yes, yes! You must be Manager Wang? Please have a seat!"

Wang Li! His business card reads "Assistant General Manager of Su's Real Estate"!

"Just call me Wang Li. President Su instructed me to come and discuss the basketball tournament sponsorship with you two."

The waiter came over to take their order. Wang Li glanced at the menu and said, "An Americano, please. Is there anything else you'd like? It's on me."

Du Peng quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need! This is fine with us!"

Wang Li smiled and got straight to the point: "President Su instructed that we should fully support the basketball tournament sponsorship. So I'd like to know, specifically what kind of support do you need?"

Here it comes! The main event is here!

Du Peng pulled out a crumpled list, his voice a little weak.

"Um... Manager Wang, we mainly need team uniforms. You know, the same kind of uniforms worn in matches, with your Su's Real Estate logo printed on them, to help with your advertising..."

Wang Li nodded and took out his tablet to record: "Team uniforms, no problem. Approximately how many sets do we need? Are there any requirements for the material?"

"Ten sets! Just ten sets will do! The material... just regular polyester will be fine, something that absorbs sweat..."

"Okay. Anything else?"

"And...and sneakers. Of course, that's not essential! We can wear our own sneakers, the main thing is the team uniform..."
