This student council meeting naturally ended inconclusively, with everyone wearing gloomy faces. Only Guang Chen walked out of the classroom with remarkably light steps, deciding to withdraw from the student council and end the farce.
Guangchang Chen had just stepped out of the main building and felt refreshed. Just as he was thinking of returning to the classroom, he suddenly heard someone call his name.
"Guangdong Chen?"
Guangchang turned his head and immediately saw Sun Weizecheng, who was also walking out of the door.
Was it him who called him?
Pretending not to know him was impossible at this point, so Guang Chen could only greet him normally: "Vice President."
"Are you Guangchang, the one the president often mentions? This is the first time I've met you."
Will the president mention me again...?
“Of course, how did I put it again, special? That’s what Shan Yimo described to me.” Sun Weizecheng smiled.
At this moment, he was no longer the melancholy man he had been half an hour earlier. Instead, he was very cheerful, smiling with his eyes narrowed, and even came closer to me in a friendly manner.
"No wonder I said the three of you get along so well, you tell each other everything?"
"Pretty much. I really didn't expect that the president would pay so much attention to a boy. It's beyond my expectations. I think this is an opportunity, Guangchang." Sun Weizecheng even got a little too close to him, completely disregarding how long they had known each other, and put his hand on his arm.
The two were about the same height, with Sun Weize being slightly thinner. After all, both of them were handsome British-style men, with a gaunt and half-dead appearance.
"Opportunity? What opportunity?"
Sun Weize leaned closer and whispered, "Of course it's an opportunity to pursue the chairman. Wouldn't it be incredibly interesting to win over the daughter of a high-ranking political official?"
Guangchang Chen was shocked upon hearing this. He then looked at Sun Weizecheng beside him and suddenly had a new understanding of the meaning behind his squinty eyes. Um... so this guy is just a simple person who enjoys himself?
32. You are the one everyone hopes for!
“Not at all.” Guangchang shook his head, shrugged, took a step forward, and directly broke free from Sun Weizecheng’s hand, a move that left Sun Weizecheng bewildered.
"Huh? You're kidding, right? After meeting you several times, don't you have even the slightest bit of feelings for the president?"
“I’ve already made my answer very clear, and besides, aren’t the president and I friends?” Guangchang Chen said bluntly.
Sun Weize stared at him, completely unmoved, which disrupted his original plan.
"Besides, Vice President, you probably don't think I can win over the President, right?" Guangchang sighed. He already had a pretty good idea of the answer when he heard the other party ask the question. For people who enjoy entertainment, the result is not important; the process is what matters.
Seeing that he had been exposed, Sun Weizecheng was slightly embarrassed. He hadn't expected to be suppressed by Guang Shanchen. His usual thought was that if he heard he could pursue the president, even if it was just wishful thinking, he would want to give it a try, right? Especially since the two of them had had a good exchange. Although Sun Weizecheng himself didn't think he could really win her over, just thinking about the process of making the effort was quite wonderful, wasn't it...?
However, this idea was nipped in the bud, as Guangchang Chen was not buying it.
"You're absolutely right... I'm sorry, it's my fault." Sun Weizecheng's apology came faster than expected. Guangchangchen glanced at the other party's 10 points of favorability, which increased by 5 points after the apology, which improved Guangchangchen's impression of him quite a bit.
Many wealthy people are often too proud to admit their mistakes, especially some characters in Taiwanese idol dramas. They act all high and mighty, but are actually incredibly immature inside. They can drag out an apology for five or six episodes before reluctantly giving it, and then sweetly utter a haughty remark at the end. Ha...
"fine."
Sun Weizecheng became more interested in the boy in front of him. Although it was a joke to ask him to pursue the president, he still wanted to know why the other party refused.
"Where can there be pure friendship between opposite sexes? Could it be that you're not interested in the president because you have someone else you like? Really? That's Yan Xingmeng!" Sun Weize's standard Taiwanese accent made Guangchang Chen rub his ears a little uncomfortable.
Guangchang looked at him and said, "Does it have to be about dating? I've always felt that dating is about aspiring to a new life after achieving personal goals. We're still in high school, how could dating possibly lead to anything?"
Guangchang's words made Sun Weizecheng hesitate for a moment. He wanted to answer the question about the importance of love, but he couldn't find a way to persuade the other party in return.
Ultimately, the only possible answer is to guide the response toward that single outcome.
Sun Weizecheng smiled with narrowed eyes: "So, Guangchang Chen, you're someone who hates romance?"
“You could say that…” Guangchang subconsciously replied, but in that instant, the image of Qianwen in the ballroom dance class flashed through his mind. He paused, and his tone lowered involuntarily. “No… to be precise, no one truly hates love. What everyone hates is fast-food love, where people suddenly become interested in each other, only to break up because of some incompatible behaviors. After this happens several times, the longing for that kind of love naturally fades. If one day I really encounter a sincere relationship, and after getting to know each other for a long time, we finally decide to be together, then I think I wouldn’t refuse.”
"But for now, dating is something I'm not even considering."
Guangchang added a sentence at the end, which left Sun Weizecheng stunned. He even forgot that he had originally come to meet him to have some fun, but unexpectedly, he was now speechless because of what the other party said.
Perhaps Guang Guangchen's words were subtly influencing some of Sun Weizecheng's thoughts at this moment, but on the other hand, Sun Weizecheng couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it. He couldn't hold back and laughed out loud, pointing at Guang Guangchen and saying, "Just like the president described, he loves to talk about grand principles."
Upon hearing this, all the words he had suppressed his emotions for were rendered meaningless. Guangchang Chenzhen's face flushed red, and he unconsciously became like this again...
"Forget what I just said..." Guangchang now truly believes that Yan Xingmeng and Sun Weizecheng are friends. She even mentioned this, and he accidentally rambled on. To be honest, if reasoning worked on love-struck people, the world would have returned to normal long ago.
"I really want to record what you just said and let the chairman hear it. Can you say it again?" Sun Weizecheng said, taking out his phone.
Guangchang covered his face and waved his hands repeatedly.
“However, what you said was quite interesting. Now I understand why the president often comes to see you.” Sun Weizecheng slowly raised his right hand, extending it towards Guang Mingchen with his signature smile. “Let’s be friends?”
"Hmm." Guang Guangchen responded. After watching the whole process, he saw that the other party's favorability towards him had not dropped. The most direct data showed that even if he was just a joker, Guang Guangchen was willing to be friends with him. He then shook hands with him.
Sun Weize then began to reveal some of the chairman's habits and hobbies, which was really, really "accidental." It seems that he hasn't completely given up on things.
What's wrong with these core members of F6? One of them wants to be friends with the president, and another one is even more outrageous, telling him to directly pursue the president. By creating so many opportunities to meet the president, isn't he just hoping in his head that he can actually win the president's heart—that ultimate underdog story? This world is truly insane...
Because most students go to the playground to do exercises during the long break, the two of them could hardly see anyone else when they walked in the square. They exchanged WeChat contacts, and Sun Weizecheng kept talking the whole way, proving he was quite the chatterbox.
As they chatted, the topic turned to the student council. Guang Chen also had something he was curious about, so he asked, "Vice President, I just went to the student council classroom, and people there were saying that there were too many students and they were going to reduce the number. Is that true?"
“Yes, it’s true, and this proposal was put forward by Han Junche. As for the intention… it might also be related to you.” Sun Weize patted him on the shoulder.
"I?"
"Well, how should I put it... a newly emerged male character who knows both the chairman and Secretary Shan, how could anyone not feel envious and jealous?" Sun Weizecheng's implication was already quite clear.
“Envy… Jealousy…” Guangchang stared blankly at Sun Weizecheng, wondering how he had inexplicably made an enemy in a place he didn’t even know…
"It's alright, it's alright. That kid Han Junche has absolutely no hope. I still think you have a slightly better chance." Sun Weize nodded repeatedly to Guang Mingchen, giving off the impression that he was the one everyone hoped for.
Ha, I've never been so speechless before...
33. Is there also a version update for this?
"Can you please stop having such unrealistic fantasies? If he were truly capable, he wouldn't even bother trying to make things difficult for me."
"Yes, that's the key point. Junche is a bit too petty. He hides it well in front of the president, but we are all boys. We'll see through him after we get to know him a few more times."
"Actually, the president and the others also noticed..." Guangchang still remembered Shan Yimo's description of Han Junche, comparing him to Cao Ruoyu, which was probably a pretty bad evaluation.
“So I still support you more on some points, oh, not some, but a lot more.” Sun Weizecheng laughed from the side. Regardless of how much of this was just for fun, judging from the friendship between the three, a large part of what they said was true.
Guangchang glanced at him and continued, "Here we go again? Don't you guys have anything else to do in high school besides dating?"
"other things?"
"Don't other people at this age in high school like to find something they enjoy to do, pursue their dreams, and celebrate their youth? Don't you have anything you've always wanted to do but haven't done yet?"
Upon hearing the word "dream," Sun Weizecheng was momentarily stunned. Clearly, he rarely heard this word. In all the information he had seen and heard since childhood, the word "dream" was often associated with farewells, including in TV dramas. Only when the male protagonist wanted to pursue his dream, chose to go abroad, and said goodbye to the female protagonist at the airport did the dream seem so weighty.
"Isn't it better to love yourself before loving others..." Guangchang murmured.
To Sun Weize, this was also a new term, even a surprising one. He was speechless for a while before finally letting out a sigh of relief and saying, "Although you like to talk about grand principles, some of what you say does sound quite novel."
"It's not something new, it's the truth." Guangchang Chen realized the other person's situation and his melancholy persona after he finished speaking. He usually seemed cheerful and lively, but he was so miserable when it came to love. When asked if he was lacking in personal value, he found out that he was a super handsome guy with a family worth hundreds of billions, plenty of freedom, and good at making friends. How could such a guy be so immersed in the pain of missing someone from his memories? Guangchang Chen thought he was seriously ill.
The analogy is like an unfavored prince who commands 800,000 troops, yet is bullied by his two older brothers who have no real power in the capital—it just doesn't make sense...
"Then I'll go upstairs first. I'll remember what you told me." Guang Chen heard the music from the surrounding broadcast stop, and almost every class was about to return to their classrooms. It wasn't a good thing for them to see him with the vice president.
"Okay, see you next time." Sun Weize responded subconsciously. In reality, the two were not that familiar, but Guang Chen could see it clearly. Just the fact that the other party's favorability rating had not dropped throughout their conversation meant that he was a person without much guile, and it was worth getting to know. Moreover, just now, the sudden ease on the other party's face caused his favorability rating to rise again, directly reaching more than 20 points.
Guangchang went upstairs directly, while Sun Weizecheng stayed where he was. He then took out his phone from his pocket, leaned against the wall, and let his loose bangs fall down. He opened the phone screen, which showed a picture of a girl.
"Love yourself before loving others..."
……
“Giving up is also a virtue.” Guang Chen leaned back, slumping weakly against the chair, holding the monthly exam report card in his hand. It clearly stated that he was ranked 20th in the class, still in the middle, which meant that his review during this period had not brought him any improvement in his ranking.
My score is rising, but my ranking is not. How annoying... Do all my classmates have access to improved versions of the game?
Guang Guangchen felt somewhat relieved. He had thought that living in a world obsessed with love, he could make a name for himself by relying on his past life's experiences and working hard. However, he now realized a crucial flaw: the power of love should not be underestimated. The phrase "Let's get into the same university together" directly destroyed all of Guang Guangchen's hard work and determination.
Feeling the stench of romance emanating from the classroom, Guang Guangchen felt a pang of gloom. Not long ago, he had told Sun Weizecheng that high school should be a time to celebrate youth, but now that Sun Weizecheng was both academically gifted and romantically savvy, Guang Guangchen felt that he was being cynical.
"Hey boss, are you alright? Wow, twentieth place! You actually managed to stay there, that's amazing, boss. I'm still at the bottom, studying wasn't very helpful." Chen Nuanxin, who sat next to him, smiled and scratched the back of her head, seemingly not surprised at all by being at the bottom.
Thinking about it this way, Qianwen was simply a genius. In such a competitive environment, she was still able to be first in the grade. Guangchang Chen deeply felt the huge gap between people...
"Big Brother?" Chen Nuanxin noticed his disappointment and poked his cheek with her finger. "Don't be discouraged. I'll treat you to a big meal after school. The shop has been doing so well lately. We used to always eat at Shaxian, but now we dare to eat sukiyaki for 150 yuan per person. Life is always getting better and better."
Hearing this, Guang Chen's mood eased a bit. His gradually growing wallet was reassuring. After promoting his Douyin shop, he quickly set up a small team with the help of his family. He had experience running an online shop in his previous life. He thought that developing it slowly and earning his first 100,000 yuan would be a kind of personal inspiration.
"Yes, well said! That's heartwarming." Guangchang nodded, glanced at the report card one last time, and helplessly stuffed it back into the drawer.
The two left the garage together after school. There was no review today, so it was a complete holiday. According to Chen Nuanxin, taking a day off after tough training can actually help with improvement. Although she saw it in the battle animation, it should be true.
Now that they've made some money, they want to upgrade their lifestyle and choose some more expensive food. While the two were still discussing what to eat, they walked down a slope and passed an intersection. Suddenly, Guangchang looked up and saw Shan Yimo standing in the window of a shop.
Her tall figure was impossible to ignore. Guang Chen noticed her, and Shan Yimo also noticed him. The two looked at each other.
Chen Nuanxin recognized Shan Yimo immediately. Looking at her exquisite profile, she couldn't help but mutter, "She's such a beauty..."
Since they had run into each other, Guangchang Chen raised his hand to greet her. Shan Yimo simply nodded in response. Chen Nuanxin was a little surprised, tugged at her boss's sleeve, and quietly asked about the current situation.
Guangchang then realized that he hadn't mentioned Shan Yimo to Nuanxin, so he leaned close to her ear and briefly recounted how Shan Yimo had spent so much money.
Upon hearing this, Chen Nuanxin trembled, her previous confusion vanished, her eyes lit up, and she saluted Shan Yimo, her two buns bobbing rhythmically on her head, practically screaming loyalty.
Ha... Even though they're a big spender, there's no need to be so obsequious...
34. He belongs exclusively to the president...
Shan Yimo stared intently at this action, then pointed at Chen Nuanxin, looked at Guang Yuchen, and asked, "Girlfriend?"
"Can we not do it this way? Hmm? Can we not do it this way?" Guangchang asked helplessly, having already done it twice.
"Of course not, the boss and I are... wait, I have a strong sense of déjà vu..." Chen Nuanxin pinched her chin, turned her body to the side, closed her eyes and thought.
Alright, the farce should end now. Guangchang took two steps forward, his gaze drawn to the dark clumps in the shop window on the left. Turning his head, he saw that the shop window displayed incubators for insects, and right in front of him was a large black spider. Guangchang wasn't afraid of these things, but his sense of mystery about Shan Yimo intensified.
……
"I'm sorry, but I'll have to ask you to treat me to dinner."
"It's okay, we can order some more." Shan Yimo pointed to Chen Nuanxin, who was sitting next to Guangchang Chen and wolfing down her rice. She seemed to be so hungry that she was losing health points.
"Then... let's order a little more." Guang Chen said this, but immediately followed up with a chop to the head, telling her to eat slowly.
The three of them were not originally going to eat together, but Shan Yimo suddenly stopped him and said she wanted to discuss something. That's how the three of them came to this barbecue restaurant that looked expensive. In the private room, Guangchang ordered some more food, and when he saw that the price was over 800, he felt even more embarrassed.
The big spender truly lives up to his name; he doesn't hold back when it comes to spending money.
"Um, is there anything I need to do?" This was no longer a discussion; they had already eaten, and as a responsible player, this was tantamount to accepting the quest.
However, Shan Yimo did not reply for a long time, but stared intently at Chen Nuanxin, who was tearing apart the barbecue.
Guangchang Chen figured they might talk after dinner, so he changed the subject, casually mentioning something else: "I didn't expect Secretary Shan to have such strange hobbies, do you like insects...?"
Hearing this, Shan Yimo finally turned her head and replied calmly, "No, it's because my sister specifically told me to keep an eye on some newly arrived insects. I just take a look whenever I pass by."
"Really? So Secretary Shan has a younger sister, the same age?"
"Just started high school." Shan Yimo answered simply, her gaze falling on Chen Nuanxin again, which made Guangchang Chen curious. His gaze followed Nuanxin and eventually noticed the badge pinned to her backpack.
I think Nuanxin said that she is the female protagonist in some new animation, which has a cyberpunk background, so her appearance will be very cool.
Guangchang nudged Chen Nuanxin with his elbow. Chen Nuanxin, being a clever little devil, looked up and noticed Shan Yimo's gaze. She followed his gaze and immediately understood. She turned around, removed the badge from her backpack, and handed it to him with both hands: "If you like it, take it."
"...Is that alright?" Shan Yimo hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Sure, you treated me to such an expensive meal, consider it a gift from me." Chen Nuanxin smiled sweetly, revealing a small tiger tooth.
Shan Yimo nodded in agreement, and took it with both hands. She looked at the unfamiliar character on it. Although she didn't recognize it, it was indeed very much in line with her aesthetic.
Guangchang suddenly realized that when he first saw Shan Yimo's behavior, he wondered why Shan Yimo would wear the badge symbolizing the core members of F6 on the cuff of her uniform. Now that he thought about it, it was cool to show the symbol of identity when raising his hand. It was just like Liu Maoxing in "Cooking Master Boy" who would only tear off the cloth on his arm after winning the competition to show his proof of being a special-grade chef, which shocked the passersby.
Getting back to the point, after eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Shan Yimo also gave her "instructions," but as soon as she said them, she completely baffled Guangchang and the other person.
"I want to find someone to pretend to be my boyfriend."
Here it comes! The classic fake boyfriend scene! This time, not only Guangchang understood, but even Chen Nuanxin, a long-time anime fan, understood. Twenty years ago, this kind of plot was not new. Guangchang clearly foresaw that the person pretending to be the boyfriend would eventually become the real boyfriend. That's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas, a standard bickering couple story.
"Why?" Guangchang asked for the reason.
For the first time, a look of distress appeared on Shan Yimo's usually calm face. She looked away and said, "I'm being harassed all the time. I just want some peace and quiet."
"Huh? Someone dares to harass you?" Chen Nuanxin was shocked.
