Why did you make me reincarnate?

As the sun was about to set, the last member of 508 hurriedly arrived. He was a tall and handsome young man.

When he arrived, he was followed by two girls, both of whom were quite pretty. The taller one had her hair in a ponytail and stood at the door, curiously peering into the dormitory.

When Zhang Jian spotted them, his eyes practically popped out of his head.

"You go back first, see you tonight."

The boy watched them disappear at the end of the corridor before turning around, at which point Zhang Jian approached him.

"Dude, you're something else! You just got here and you've already started flirting? Which one is your girlfriend?"

"The taller ones, they live in building number four."

The boy answered with a smile, his gaze sweeping around the dormitory room. "By the way, my name is Li Mu, and I'm from Yanjing."

Xu Chaoyang glanced at him again. This Li Mu was indeed handsome, well-dressed, and spoke and acted with grace and poise. He must come from a good family.

After the four people arrived, they arranged themselves by seniority and announced their ages in turn.

Li Mu is the oldest at twenty because he repeated a year of high school. Zhang Jian is nineteen and ranks second. Xu Chaoyang just turned nineteen and has just welcomed his third child. Hu Hanlin is the youngest, not even eighteen.

"Alright, I'm the boss, I'll treat everyone to dinner later."

Li Mu was also preparing to seize the title of godfather, and he started using his financial power as soon as he entered.

Zhang Jian patted his chest and said, "If anything happens to you guys in 508, just say my name, and your second brother will protect you."

Li Mu asked curiously, "What's the use of telling me your name?"

"You see, if you're not sure either, then others will definitely hesitate after hearing it."

Li Mu was shocked by this powerful logic and thought to himself that this person was indeed a genius.

Hu Hanlin sat on the edge of the bed and realized that he had a relatively low profile after getting to know them, so he suddenly asked, "What were your scores on the college entrance exam?"

His tone was somewhat tentative, as if he had brought it up unintentionally.

Xu Chaoyang vaguely sensed the arrogance in it, but he didn't call it out.

"I scored 670, which is 20 points above the cutoff. Even if I didn't come to the top-ranked major in the School of Management, I could have chosen it randomly." Hu Hanlin adjusted his glasses with his hand.

Zhang Jian, who has a rather easygoing personality, casually remarked, "Anyone who can get into Zhejiang University has some real talent; once they're in, the cutoff score doesn't matter much anymore."

"So, what score did you get?"

"Six hundred and eighty-three."

Hu Hanlin's expression froze for a moment. He hadn't expected that Zhang Jian, who looked like a big, clumsy guy, would be even more capable than him. He then turned his gaze to Xu Chaoyang.

"Third brother, what about you?"

Xu Chaoyang scrolled through his phone messages: "Six hundred and sixty."

Hu Hanlin's expression visibly relaxed, a subtle change that Xu Chaoyang noticed but didn't pay much attention to.

It's normal for eighteen or nineteen-year-olds who have just squeezed through the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination to still be stuck in the mindset of regarding scores as a skill.

Li Mu didn't participate in the topic. He leaned against the bed railing and played on his laptop. Being able to get a laptop in this era was enough to show that his family background was not low.

When asked how many points he scored, Li Mu didn't even look up: "I forgot, but it was enough."

Hu Hanlin was clearly not satisfied with the answer, but he didn't press for details. After all, the other person had repeated a year to get into university, so he had already lost to him.

The atmosphere fell silent. As the eldest son, Li Mu felt it was time to change the subject, so he closed his notebook.

"If everyone's free tonight, how about we go out for dinner together?"

Zhang Jian chimed in, "Sure, where to?"

"You've already met my girlfriend; they also live in a four-person dorm. How about I introduce us to each other?"

Zhang Jianteng stood up abruptly: "Brother Mu! This humble general swears to follow you to the death!"

Zhang Jian was already getting excited about the rumored university social gathering.

Hu Hanlin also quietly raised his head. Although he didn't say anything, his ears were clearly perked up.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Then it's settled. There's a Sichuan restaurant outside the East Gate. I'll go and make an appointment with them."

Because we were having dinner together that evening, a few of us had a simple meal in the cafeteria that afternoon.

The canteen in Jingang has two floors. The first floor serves large pot dishes, and the second floor serves stir-fries and pastries.

Zhang Jian said he wanted to save room, but he ended up ordering two servings of rice and three dishes, piling them up like a small mountain, and he ate with a ferocious gusto.

Hu Hanlin ate in small bites, holding the tray, and before picking up any food, he would wipe the food on the rice to remove the oil. These two seemed like two extremes at first glance, but they were somehow brought together.

While eating, Xu Chaoyang sent messages to the others, starting with Shen Ju, who had just arrived in southern Jiangsu.

Shen Ju: Did you meet any pretty senior girls in college?

Xu Chaoyang thought for a moment and typed: I am really disappointed with Zhejiang University.

Shen Ju sent a question mark.

None of the female students here are as pretty as you.

Shen Ju replied with a glib tongue, followed by a smiley face.

Xu Chaoyang put away his phone and smiled, then started reading other people's messages. One of them was from Jiang Banxia.

"I've been assigned to the Geology Department, in the old campus. Which building are you in?"

Xu Chaoyang glanced at it but did not reply, because there was another matter that deserved his attention, which was sent by the person in charge of Mingzhu.

"Hongyi Apartment has completed its final acceptance inspection today, and all the funds have been received. The current balance in the corporate account is 43 million."

Xu Chaoyang leaned against the headboard and read the news twice. He had entered the market with three million yuan in hand, and in just three months, it had increased tenfold. Although a large part of it was the funds accumulated after the debt-to-property conversion and resale, the accounts were finally clean.

He thought for a moment and replied with a few words: "Don't touch the funds for now, wait for my arrangements."

Then he messaged Ming Songhan, asking him to add to some of the positions he had previously favored, as market sentiment was good recently and gold prices still had room to rise.

Ming Songhan quickly returned the call, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement.

"Young Master Xu, you finally remembered me. The market has indeed been good lately, and I have already added to my position as you suggested."

After dealing with all of this, Xu Chaoyang calculated that the funds he could mobilize should be in the range of fifty million.

At 9 p.m., the group of 508 went straight to a private room at a restaurant outside the East Gate.

When they arrived, Li Mu's girlfriend, Ke Xin, and her roommates had already reserved seats, with the two dorm rooms seated on either side of the long table.

Ke Xin is from the School of Humanities. She is tall and has delicate features, and is definitely a beauty in the school.

Besides her, the other three girls were also quite good-looking, all above average.

There was a girl named Su Min, with a round face and short hair, exuding a cute vibe. She wore black-rimmed glasses and spoke in a soft voice. Next to her was He Lu, with an oval face and a cheerful smile.

The girl who caught the most attention was Ning Qiushuang, who sat opposite Xu Chaoyang. She was the only one studying foreign languages, and today she had long hair down and was wearing a light blue knitted sweater.

Every gesture she made exuded a gentle and elegant temperament. Her lips were slightly curved throughout the entire time. She neither made a fuss nor interrupted. Zhang Jian's eyes never left her.
