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

Shen Zhiyi's retort, though short, was incredibly powerful.

Su Man stood there, stunned, her mind blank for two seconds.

My chaotic thoughts suddenly returned.

She finally realized something she had completely forgotten.

Shen Zhiyi is not a pushover, nor is she an innocent little rabbit.

The scene from the very first day of school flashed vividly through my mind.

To protect Zhang Yifan, Shen Zhiyi dared to confront her in public, refusing to back down in the slightest.

During this period, she was completely focused on Basil's intelligence mission.

They are single-mindedly focused on currying favor with powerful figures, building connections, and preserving their own value.

They subconsciously overlooked Shen Zhiyi's true personality.

Gentleness and humility are just a protective facade for them.

If someone crosses their line, they'll turn on you faster than flipping through a book.

Su Man felt a chill run down her spine.

The worst thing she can do right now is to fall out with Shen Zhiyi.

The entire dormitory, and even the entire freshman circle.

Her only way to find out about Shen Zhiyi's whereabouts was in this room.

Once the relationship completely breaks down, the channels will be completely blocked, and she will never be able to obtain any useful information again.

She simply couldn't explain things to Basil.

The patience of a top-tier rich kid is as thin as a sheet of paper.

Pieces with no value will only be discarded.

They might even face retribution later, making it a losing proposition.

Weighing the pros and cons, a decision is made in a second.

The anger, frustration, and resentment surging in his heart were all forcibly suppressed.

Face is worthless, but your livelihood is valuable!

Su Man forced out an extremely awkward, apologetic smile.

They adopted an extremely humble posture, instantly becoming completely submissive.

"Look at you, I was just saying it offhand."

Why are you in such a hurry?

If you don't like what I'm saying, I promise I won't say it again, okay?

After saying that, she didn't dare linger and could only retreat dejectedly, looking utterly ashamed.

It was truly embarrassing, and it was also truly frustrating.

But she was completely helpless.

Su Man lowered her head, turned around, and passed by Liu Fei and Xia Ran's bedside.

The two girls moved in unison, turning their heads to give her a cold snort.

The disdain in his eyes was undisguised.

Normally, Su Man would definitely hold a grudge and look for an opportunity to get revenge.

But at this moment, she had no time to care.

Her attention was completely drawn to the pastries on the table.

You can recognize it at a glance; it's a long-established, popular pastry shop in Beijing, with long queues forming at its physical stores year-round.

With an extremely high premium, it's definitely a luxury snack.

Ordinary students simply couldn't bear to buy it to satisfy their cravings.

As a result, Liu Fei and Xia Ran casually took it and put it down.

If you don't cherish it at all, it's no different from ordinary snacks you find on the street.

Su Man's throat tightened slightly.

Even if she had the thickest skin, she wouldn't dare to go over and take a bite right now.

He could only suppress his thoughts and silently walk back to his bed.

Lying down on the bed, all pretense was completely removed.

Suman's mindset completely lost its balance.

I was internally ranting and raving, getting angrier the more I thought about it.

What's with the attitude?

So what if she found a boyfriend from a wealthy family?

Without Zhang Yifan, Shen Zhiyi is nothing.

There are also Liu Fei and Xia Ran.

He's just a devoted, obsequious lapdog.

A bag of pastries was enough to completely buy them off; they had no principles whatsoever.

These small favors are enough to make them blindly take sides.

Their vision is pitifully short-sighted.

Su Man felt increasingly bitter and resentful as she thought about it.

Being proud now is useless.

For men, novelty has the shortest shelf life.

Once Zhang Yifan's initial excitement wears off, he'll get tired of it sooner or later and dump it.

Then we'll see how smug you'll be.

Isn't it just a high-end, trendy pastry?

What's so great about it?

Just wait and it will all be over.

When I have money in the future.

I'll just buy two.

Eat one serving, then throw the rest away!

This is specifically designed to cure your inexplicable sense of superiority.

After venting my inner turmoil, I managed to calm down.

Su Man instantly snapped back to reality and dared not continue to slack off.

Slacking off and complaining is fine, but slacking off at work is not.

She still had to give Basil an answer.

She quickly pulled out her phone, turned on the screen, and opened her chat with Basil.

Fingers flew across the screen.

"Young Master Luo, Shen Zhiyi has returned to her dormitory and is currently staying there without going out."

The message was sent successfully.

He replied almost instantly.

Between the lines, there is nothing but irritability and speechlessness.

"Do I need you to report my whereabouts in the dormitory?"

"Can I go into the girls' dormitory?"

"Don't send me this worthless nonsense again!"

Su Man froze, stunned by the scolding.

I felt even more panicked.

Indeed, such publicly available information, which is visible to everyone, is meaningless.

Basil wants privacy and opportunities for offline interaction.

This is not just superficial information.

If she continues like this, her value will completely disappear.

In that critical moment, a sudden inspiration struck me.

A perfect dirty trick is formed in an instant.

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately typed a reply.

"Young Master Luo, it is indeed inconvenient for you to enter the dormitory."

"But I can take the initiative to organize a dinner party for all the girls in my dorm."

"I'll treat them to a meal, and they'll all leave their dorms then."

"You can just show up then, you'll have plenty of opportunities!"

The other side remained silent for two seconds.

Clearly, this solution struck a chord with Basil, and her previous hostility dissipated considerably.

"That's a reliable method."

"Okay, set the time and place, and let me know as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Su Man immediately seized the opportunity to speak.

They seized the opportunity to secure funding without any delay.

"Young Master Luo, what do you think about the hotel expenses for this trip...?"

The next second, Basil bristled.

"grass!"

"I just transferred five thousand to you, and now you want more money?"

The stinginess of the rich second generation was fully exposed.

A typical example of someone who wants to get things done but doesn't want to spend money.

Su Man had anticipated this and could easily come up with her own words.

"Young Master Luo, a small amount of money gets you little done, but a lot of money gives you a lot of prestige."

"If we're going to have a banquet, let's have a high-end, five-star dinner."

"The venue is top-notch, and the atmosphere is absolutely fantastic."

"Your subsequent appearance will have enough presence and prestige, and will better reflect your stature."

The flattery was perfectly timed, accurately capturing the rich kid's desire to save face.

Basil was extremely pleased with herself.

Less than two seconds later, a transfer notification popped up.

The full ten thousand yuan was deposited directly into my account.

What followed was a cold, admonitory message.

"Book a high-end restaurant."

"Don't mess this up for me."

Su Man's eyes lit up instantly. She received the payment and replied in a flash, her movements fluid and effortless.

"Don't worry, Young Master Luo!"

"I will arrange everything perfectly for you!"

With a huge sum of money in hand, their confidence soared.

All the previous frustration, anxiety, and annoyance vanished.

She immediately rolled out of bed, instantly switching to a perfectly friendly persona.

The gloom, scheming, and hostility on his face were all completely hidden.

Instead, he wore an expression of sincerity and remorse.

She walked quickly to Shen Zhiyi, adopting an extremely humble posture.

His tone was sincere, and it touched me deeply.

"Zhiyi, I'm sorry."

I just calmly thought about it for a long time.

Indeed, I was too subjective, too presumptuous, and went too far in my speech.

We've only known each other for a short time, so I shouldn't comment on your private affairs.

We'll be living in the same dorm for four years, so there's no need to create an awkward stalemate.

To make amends to you, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night.

Let's all go out to eat together, as an apology from my dorm!

These words left the three roommates stunned.

Shen Zhiyi, Liu Fei, and Xia Ran exchanged glances.

All I could see was absurdity and disbelief.

Anyone can see that there's definitely something fishy going on here.

Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft!

However, none of the three exposed them on the spot.

Shen Zhiyi spoke calmly.

"Can."

With just two simple words, I agreed.

Seeing Shen Zhiyi nod, Liu Fei and Xia Ran readily agreed as well.

"Okay, let's go together tomorrow."

Shen Zhiyi looked at Su Man's sincere face and secretly sneered in her heart.

She knew Su Man's character all too well.

Utilitarian, hypocritical, and extremely selfish.

She would never do anything that didn't bring her any benefit.

The sudden apology and treat clearly indicate ulterior motives.

It was a trap.

Yeah.

She wanted to see it for herself.

What new tricks is Su Man planning to pull this time?
