After saying these words, Shen Kaiyang glanced at Qin Lang with a hint of provocation, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

The students below nodded in agreement. Now, when they looked at Qin Lang, he was the epitome of "unsociable" and "lacking in tact".

"That's right. Qin Lang used to be withdrawn all the time, but now that he's not withdrawn anymore, all he does is bury himself in his studies and chase girls."

"The class monitor was kindly sharing his experience, but he just had a cold face. The class monitor is right, this guy really doesn't understand social etiquette."

"I guess it's jealousy. He can't make money himself, so he can't stand seeing others do well."

Qin Lang clinked glasses with the three girls and drank the beer. His expression remained indifferent, without anger or embarrassment. He continued eating the stir-fried beef on his plate, seemingly unconcerned about Shen Kaiyang's words.

Huang Ziqiang, Qin Lang's good friend sitting at the same table, couldn't stand it anymore. His face turned ashen and he was about to stand up to say something, but Qin Lang stopped him with a look.

"Brother Lang! It's one thing for Shen Kaiyang to insult you since he has a grudge against you, but how can these people do this? They were also involved in the class funds you helped recover last time. These people were cursing Shen Kaiyang for embezzling class funds just a second ago, but now they're shamelessly sucking up to him and even humiliating you in return. Can you tolerate this?" Huang Ziqiang said angrily.

"Heh, still young." Qin Lang put down his chopsticks and said earnestly, "Never think that just because you're right, everyone will be on your side. Human nature, most of the time, isn't on the side of right, but on the side of self-interest. In the adult world, self-interest is more important than right and wrong."

Seeing Qin Lang's still nonchalant attitude, Shen Kaiyang frowned, as if he was provoked even more. Just as he was about to say something, a crisp sound suddenly rang out from Qin Lang's table.

"Tch! Only ten thousand followers, don't you know it's shameful? You actually have the nerve to brag about it?"

Su Yue put down the beer bottle in her hand, wiped her fingers with a tissue, looked up at Shen Kaiyang, and her tone was full of undisguised contempt.

All eyes in the private room instantly turned to her.

Shen Kaiyang paused for a moment, then laughed again after three seconds, a hint of disdain in his smile. He said, "Su Yue, you wouldn't understand if you weren't in the short video industry. I've only been making videos for half a year, and reaching 10,000 followers is already quite an achievement. The barrier to entry for short video operation is actually very high, involving account positioning, content planning, editing techniques, recommendation algorithms..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Su Yue interrupted him impatiently, a beautiful smile curving her lips, her tone slightly teasing. "You don't really think that your less than 10,000 followers make you the best at making short videos in our class, do you?"

"Otherwise what?" Shen Kaiyang's face remained confident. "Do you think you can find someone with more fans than me? If you do, I, Shen Kaiyang, will formally become his apprentice in front of all the classmates today!"

"Become an apprentice? Tsk tsk... You're really dreaming." With that, Su Yue slowly took out her phone, tapped a few times, and then turned the screen towards everyone. "Let me show you. See this? 'Silly Shrimp' on Bilibili, over 1.4 million followers. Let me tell you, this is Lang Ge's account."

As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, the private room fell silent.

Two seconds later, it suddenly exploded.

"What did she say? 'Silly Shrimp' is Qin Lang's account? Did I hear that right?"

"How is this possible? If Qin Lang is the creator of that viral, silly animation, how could we not know?"

Lin Tao adjusted his glasses, widened his eyes, and said, "I heard from a friend that that silly animated series 'Shrimp Cultivating Immortality' can earn at least several hundred thousand yuan, right?"

These words startled everyone again. A collective gasp filled the private room.

"Hiss...you mean Qin Lang made hundreds of thousands from just one animated film?!"

"The premise is that he really is 'Silly Shrimp' himself."

Upon hearing this news, Shen Kaiyang froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, his eyes fixed on the account data on Su Yue's phone screen, his face filled with disbelief. But he quickly recovered and suddenly laughed, saying, "Haha, you almost fooled me. Qin Lang is 'Silly Shrimp'? Hehe, you say it's him, so it's true?"

Su Yue's expression froze. She hadn't expected Shen Kaiyang to say that. Yes, her phone could only show "Silly Shrimp" with 145 million followers and 8000 million likes, with the IP address located in Liaobei City, Donglu Province, but she couldn't see the real name.

It's true what they say, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Su Yue turned to Qin Lang and gave him a look, meaning: Brother Lang, come out and show yourself, little darling.

At this moment, Qin Lang, unable to hold his liquor, had eyes that were already somewhat glazed over and was not in the mood to understand Su Yue's meaning. He could only say, "No, I can't drink anymore."

Xu Han, sitting next to him, didn't say anything. He simply took Qin Lang's phone from his pocket, pulled his finger over to unlock the fingerprint lock, opened the Bilibili backend, opened "My," found the verified account of the big V, and then handed it to Ruan Zhihuan, "Take this and let them see it."

Ruan Zhihuan took the phone, walked confidently to the front of the crowd, and showed Qin Lang's account information to everyone. The real-name authentication bar on the screen clearly displayed the two words "Qin Lang", and in the backend earnings data below, the creative revenue for the past thirty days was showing a six-figure number.

"Holy crap! This is insane! A mega-influencer with millions of followers is my classmate?!"

"Qin Lang is truly a 'silly shrimp'! This..."

"I was following 'Shrimp Cultivating Immortality' every day, and I never imagined that the author was right next to me. This... is too unreal."

The girls also started discussing it:

"Qin Lang is so low-key! He made so much money and didn't even say a word!"

"Do you think Qin Lang would say yes if I actively pursued him?"

"You've missed your chance. She likes DunDun."

"DunDun? DunDun from Class Four?"

"Yeah, didn't he write love letters to that Dun Dun a while ago?"

"Come on! You're drunk. Didn't Qin Lang already clarify that matter in public? It was a love letter that Feng Chen forged by imitating his handwriting."

"Then you have no chance. Didn't you see those three people sitting next to him today? Do you think you can compare to any of them?"

Shen Kaiyang's face went from white to red, then from red to green, and all traces of his previous triumphant and ambitious demeanor vanished. He stood there for a long time, unable to utter a single word.

Sitting next to him were Zhang Chao and several other class committee members, who looked at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what to do.

Several quick-witted boys immediately changed their tune, raised their wine glasses, and approached Qin Lang, bowing and scraping as they said, "Qin Lang, so you're 'Silly Shrimp'! I've been following your animations every day, I never imagined you were the creator! Today I must toast you to express my admiration."

"And me! Qin Lang, do you remember? We ate together on our first day at university!"

"Qin Lang! We were classmates! If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"
