Wu Kun and Lu Chuan didn't stay seated either; they immediately stood up to greet Jiang Cheng.
They were just a few college students who usually had nothing better to do.
Surfing the internet was their usual way of killing time.
Everyone present was aware of Jiang Cheng's recent hot search.
Before they gathered, Wang Jian had mentioned Jiang Cheng's recent hot search to everyone again.
He also told them about some of the investments Jiang Cheng had made recently.
Since they were all finance majors in college, they had a certain understanding of investing.
Back at school, they knew Jiang Cheng was a very wealthy Second-generation rich.
After all, a Second-generation rich who could donate ten million to the school must be worth at least a billion or more.
But after he became a shareholder of ByteDance, they realized their roommate's net worth was far more than a few billion; it had to be at least tens of billions.
At Jiang Cheng's level, the investment company he founded was already considered a medium-to-large enterprise.
Facing such a big shot, even if he was his roommate, Wang Jian didn't dare to be the least bit negligent.
Since Jiang Cheng had given him the face to attend his birthday dinner today, he was naturally afraid that the others might perform poorly and make Jiang Cheng unhappy.
When they saw Jiang Cheng, the thoughts in their hearts were already different from how they felt during the last Military Training.
Seeing Jiang Cheng arrive with Si Nian, the group also immediately greeted her warmly.
However, Jiang Cheng didn't think as much as they did.
He smiled at them just like before, saying, "Hey brothers, long time no see. Sorry I'm late, my apologies."
Wang Jian immediately replied, "We just got here too. The traffic is terrible at this hour; we were stuck for a full half-hour. Wu Kun almost threw up."
Lu Chuan added, "Exactly. I almost thought I'd have to get the car washed. Luckily, this guy held it in."
Being teased by the two of them in turn, Wu Kun didn't get angry. He countered, "Brother Cheng, you have no idea. I wasn't throwing up from motion sickness; I was throwing up from all the dog food. You don't know how mushy Lu Chuan is. He spent the whole way here bullying a single dog like me."
Jiang Cheng whispered to Si Nian with a grin, "Listen to that. I'm really lucky today that you're here to help me, otherwise I'd probably end up with a mouth full of fur from this meal too."
Si Nian said with a chuckle, "These roommates of yours are quite funny."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng introduced his roommates to Si Nian.
However, Jiang Cheng soon noticed that the girlfriend Wang Jian brought this time wasn't Yao Xue, but had been replaced by another girl with decent looks.
Jiang Cheng remembered that the girlfriend Wang Jian brought to the dinner on the first day of school was Yao Xue.
During Military Training, although Wang Jian would secretly flirt with other girls in private, he would still occasionally show off his affection for Yao Xue in front of them.
Did they break up??
Looking at the way that girl was snuggling up to Wang Jian just now, she couldn't be a cousin, right??
This Wang Jian really is a scumbag!
After the greetings, Wang Jian immediately introduced her to Jiang Cheng, "Brother Cheng, this is my girlfriend, Li Xiaoxiao, a freshman at Modu Academy of Drama."
After saying this, Wang Jian even winked at Jiang Cheng, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Jiang Cheng naturally understood Wang Jian's meaning in a second.
After all, he was very familiar with a scumbag's routines.
Ahem, no, not familiar—he had just seen a lot of them.
After Wang Jian finished the introduction, Li Xiaoxiao immediately and very proactively reached out her hand toward Jiang Cheng, completely ignoring Si Nian and Wang Jian sitting beside them.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Jiang Cheng glanced at Wang Jian and then lightly nudged Si Nian with his foot under the table.
Si Nian reacted quickly and immediately understood Jiang Cheng's intent.
She reached out across Jiang Cheng to shake Li Xiaoxiao's hand and replied, "What a coincidence. Hello, I'm also a freshman at Modu Academy of Drama."
Watching his girlfriend's overly proactive behavior from the side, Wang Jian felt displeased, though he didn't show it on his face.
However, the look he gave Jiang Cheng carried a hint of gratitude.
If Jiang Cheng had shaken Li Xiaoxiao's hand in public, although he wouldn't dare do anything, he would certainly have felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Nevertheless, Li Xiaoxiao's actions caused Wang Jian's internal rating of her to drop significantly.
However, Li Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care that Jiang Cheng hadn't shaken her hand.
In her view, the reason Jiang Cheng didn't shake her hand was likely because the Si Nian next to him was too possessive.
After all, she hadn't seen Jiang Cheng's foot under the table.
Seeing Si Nian so eager to shake her hand, Li Xiaoxiao felt a bit of displeasure in her heart.
But with so many people present, she didn't show it.
Instead, she asked Si Nian with a smile, "Wow, that is a coincidence. Which class are you in?"
Si Nian said politely, "I'm in Class 4."
"I'm in Class 6. It looks like I've found another fellow student at school to discuss assignments with. Don't you think our school's coursework is just incredibly difficult?"
Jiang Cheng, being someone with the Mind Perception Skill, sensed that Li Xiaoxiao wasn't being sincere when she said this to Si Nian. So, Jiang Cheng quietly activated the Character Scanning System on Li Xiaoxiao.
[Name: Li Xiaoxiao]
[Age: 19]
[Height: 160 cm]
[Beauty: 82]
[Figure: 89]
[Privacy: 2]
[favorability value: 85]
After seeing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be a bit speechless.
While Li Xiaoxiao's privacy rating was acceptable...
For a stranger met for the first time, a favorability value of eighty-five was indeed a bit high... With an 85 favorability value, as long as he showed even a little interest, they could very quickly move on to intimate interactions of varying depths.
A normal person, like Si Nian for example...
From the moment they met until now, her favorability value toward him had remained at 60.
This favorability value was just above that of a stranger.
In other words, it was the normal value for two people just beginning to interact.
And this value was the reaction a normal person should have.
It showed she was currently in the stage of getting to know and evaluating him.
During this stage, if they interacted and Si Nian felt he was a decent person, this value would rise; otherwise, it would fall.
But for Li Xiaoxiao to have such a high favorability value right from the start, she was either a gold-digger or someone obsessed with looks.
Moreover, after Jiang Cheng arrived, Li Xiaoxiao's physical contact with Wang Jian clearly decreased.
Jiang Cheng remembered that when he first walked in, Li Xiaoxiao was snuggling against Wang Jian.
But now, she was even intentionally or unintentionally starting to sit further back.
She was putting more distance between herself and Wang Jian.
Not only did Jiang Cheng notice, but even Wang Jian noticed the change in Li Xiaoxiao.
However, Wang Jian didn't care at this moment, because compared to women, he valued Jiang Cheng's feelings more...
