Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

Su Man lay on the bed with her back to everyone, seemingly quiet and lost in thought, but in reality, her heart was in turmoil.

The scenes from the barbecue restaurant tonight kept replaying in her mind.

She was very clear-headed.

In terms of looks, temperament, and figure, I am no match for Shen Zhiyi in any way.

Zhang Yifan, a wealthy man who keeps his wealth hidden, has extremely high standards and would never give him a second glance.

Impersonating someone based on their appearance is a completely unworkable strategy.

But Zhang Yifan casually tossed out two sets of top-tier perfumes, totaling nearly 20,000 yuan, tonight. His casual and extravagant demeanor completely overturned her perception.

This person was not the ordinary, stingy poor student she described at all; he was a genuine, low-key big shot.

In an instant, a different kind of thought began to grow wildly in her heart.

For four years of university, the four of them lived together in the same dormitory, spending every day together.

As long as you humble yourself and maintain a good relationship with Shen Zhiyi, you're guaranteed to make a profit.

By following Shen Zhiyi, one can not only get all sorts of high-end gifts, but also connect with Zhang Yifan's network of connections.

Even if they didn't get any other benefits, just getting something for free over four years would be far better than what an average family could afford.

The utilitarian thought had taken root in her heart.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Man immediately rolled over and got out of bed.

She put away all the arrogance, harshness, and disdain she had shown at the dinner party, put on an exceptionally sincere expression, and walked straight up to Shen Zhiyi.

He solemnly apologized in front of Xia Ran and Liu Fei.

"Zhiyi, what happened last night was my fault."

I spoke too tactlessly and one-sidedly, making careless comments about your boyfriend. It shows my limited perspective and shallow judgment of people. I sincerely apologize to you.

He adopted an extremely humble attitude and showed a strong sense of admitting his mistake.

But Shen Zhiyi's mind was as clear as a mirror.

Is Su Man truly remorseful and aware of her mistakes?

He clearly saw Xia Ran and Liu Fei get the exorbitantly priced perfume with his own eyes, and was envious and jealous. He wanted to take advantage of the situation by apologizing and acting innocent.

The knot in his heart had not been cleared up at all, and he felt even more contempt for Su Man's character.

But she didn't publicly break off relations.

We'll be living in the same dorm for four more years, so there's no need to make things too awkward.

She nodded slightly, accepting the apology with a calm expression.

"It's alright, it's over."

She appeared to forgive, but deep down she had already made up her mind.

She planned to observe secretly to see what other tricks Su Man would pull next.

Immediately afterwards, as if considering the feelings of her roommates, Shen Zhiyi casually took out a bottle of high-end perfume from her makeup bag.

This perfume is from a high-end brand; it was one of her own personal purchases.

However, in terms of quality, price, and scarcity, it is far inferior to the complete set of top-tier luxury products that Zhang Yifan gave away, and moreover, nearly half of the contents of the bottle have already been used up.

"Yifan only prepared two sets of gifts during the day, and didn't have time to bring them to you. This bottle is mine, so please don't mind it, just take it and use it."

A fleeting, undisguised elation flashed in Su Man's eyes.

Even a half-used bottle is a high-end perfume, far exceeding her usual spending level.

But she knew the art of pretense, so she immediately feigned reluctance and acted hesitant.

"I can't accept this, it's too precious! Besides, if I accept yours, what will you use it for?"

Shen Zhiyi casually added, "Yifan prepared several more high-end bottles for me. I've used this one enough, so it's just sitting there anyway."

Su Man's smile remained impeccable on her face, but her mind was in turmoil.

Several more high-end bottles...

Use them in rotation...

What I snatched as a treasure was what others had left over from their rotation.

Why is Shen Zhiyi born with such treatment?

Why can the other person so easily possess countless top-tier luxury items?

Xia Ran and Liu Fei, who were standing to the side, saw her hypocritical act and were barely holding back their laughter, almost bursting out laughing on the spot.

In order to completely wash away her snobbish face during the day and to establish a transparent and independent persona, Su Man immediately changed the subject and began to speak eloquently.

"To be honest, we are all independent women of the new era who were able to get into Tsinghua University."

There's no need to rely too much on boys. Mutual understanding and support among us girls is the most reliable approach.

These words left the three roommates stunned.

The three of them were internally ranting and raving.

Is this really the same person?

Not long ago, he publicly mocked Zhang Yifan for being stingy, ordinary, and materialistic because of an inexpensive barbecue meal.

Now they turn around and start spouting grand principles about independence, self-reliance, and not relying on men.

The stark contrast between the before and after is incredibly ironic, and the audacity of the characters is astounding.

Just as the atmosphere became slightly awkward and strange, Su Man's phone suddenly rang.

As if she had found the perfect excuse to get away, she quickly picked up her phone.

"I'm taking this call."

After saying that, she quickly walked out of the dormitory, escaping the awkward atmosphere.

As soon as Su Man left, the dormitory instantly returned to silence.

Xia Ran immediately frowned and lowered her voice to remind him.

"Zhiyi, you'd better be careful. Suman is too calculating and too good at pretending."

Liu Fei quickly echoed her sentiment.

"Yes, her apology wasn't sincere at all. She only gave in because she saw there was something for her to gain. She's too scheming."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi smiled calmly, her eyes filled with composure and clarity.

"I know it in my heart."

Su Man's petty schemes and materialistic tactics are too shallow and low-level.

If someone of Su Man's level could outsmart her, that would be the greatest humiliation for her.

In her eyes, Su Man was nothing but a clown from beginning to end, and could not cause any trouble at all.

……

Meanwhile, in the boys' dormitory.

Zhang Yifan returned to his dormitory alone after finishing his meal.

He paused slightly as he pushed the door open.

The bed, which was originally a little messy, was now neatly made and perfectly tidy.

He neatly organized and arranged all the odds and ends he had carelessly left behind, making the table spotless.

Even the thermos next to the table was filled with boiling water.

Seeing this, Wang Hao, Zhao Peng, and Lin Zhe scratched their heads, their tone sincere yet shy.

"We just came back from dinner and saw that you hadn't gone back to your dorm yet, so we tidied up for you."

"Don't worry, we absolutely did not touch or open your luggage or backpack, and we did not pry into your privacy at all."

Looking at the sincere and enthusiastic appearance of his three new roommates, Zhang Yifan felt a warm current flow through his heart.

It's truly rare to find such reliable and loyal roommates right after starting university.

He was about to express his gratitude properly.

The next second, a cold, mechanical system notification suddenly rang in my mind.

[System notification: Although the host achieved financial freedom through the system, their original essence was a 68-year-old man who had developed an old habit of hoarding miscellaneous items over the years, and thus carried a strong aura of old age.]

Your 18-year-old roommate only helped you pack out of politeness as a new student, but deep down they deeply disliked and resented your old-fashioned appearance and habits, and never genuinely respected you.

[Task posted: Earn the genuine respect of your three roommates.]

[Task Difficulty: Medium]

[Reason: A deep-seated age gap, vastly different lifestyles, and the roommate's deep-seated dislike for the host who appears old.]

[Task Reward: 100 million RMB in cash.]

Zhang Yifan was stunned on the spot, and his mind went into a crazy, silly吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks) mode.

System, are you out of your mind?

He was clearly a genuine 18-year-old freshman, full of youthful energy.

But when it came to the system, it transformed into a 68-year-old man?

His three roommates genuinely helped him make his bed, fetch water, and tidy up; it was pure kindness and loyalty.

The system, on the other hand, went ahead and imagined a whole bunch of scenarios of disdain, annoyance, and disrespect.

A million-dollar cash reward is indeed incredibly tempting.

But this absurd judgment of being labeled as an "old man" and "disliked by his roommates" is truly speechless.

Zhang Yifan remained outwardly calm, smiling and thanking the three of them with a natural expression.

But in his heart, he was already making plans.
