From the moment Jiang Cheng appeared, her gaze was fixed on him most of the time.
Especially after seeing Jiang Cheng's Lamborghini supercar, Li Xiaoxiao's favorability value toward him had risen to ninety points.
For some more open-minded Girls, this favorability value had already reached the stage where you could do whatever you wanted.
Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's soaring favorability value, Jiang Cheng could only cast a sympathetic glance at Wang Jian.
Wang Jian understood Jiang Cheng's meaning; he didn't act formal anymore and said to Jiang Cheng, "Thanks, Brother Cheng. I love the gift. I'll treat you to dinner separately next time."
Although the watch Jiang Cheng gave him was an entry-level nautilus worth over a hundred thousand, this 'Aquanaut' model was quite popular because many celebrities wore it.
Average users couldn't even pre-order it.
Unless you had a spending history at Patek Philippe, you wouldn't even have the chance to join the waiting list.
Even if you were lucky enough to pre-order, you'd have to wait at least two or three years like Wang Jian.
After two or three years, once you were eligible to buy, you usually had to purchase other watches as a bundle to get it.
In other words, you'd have to buy another watch worth hundreds of thousands before being eligible to buy this popular nautilus.
If you thought that was too slow and wanted to buy from the secondary market, you'd have to pay a premium of at least several tens of thousands for this hundred-thousand-plus watch.
This would bring the price directly to around two hundred thousand. For Wang Jian, that wasn't worth it; he might as well buy other models available in stock.
After Wang Jian left with Li Xiaoxiao, Jiang Cheng also took a bag of perfume and a bag of chocolates from the car.
"This is for you."
Seeing Jiang Cheng hand her two bags, Si Nian couldn't help but look surprised.
She took them with some confusion and thanked him, "I have a gift too?"
Jiang Cheng said casually, "I took an extra set when I left just in case, and I didn't expect it to actually come in handy. It's just for you. The chocolates from that place are a bit sweet, but the perfume is quite good."
Si Nian nodded and said, "Thank you. You helped me today, and before I could even thank you, I've already freeloaded food and drinks, and now I've even gotten a gift. It's a bit embarrassing. How about we add each other on wechat? I'll treat you to dinner next time."
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng took out his phone, opened his QR code, and handed it directly to Si Nian.
After adding her on wechat, Jiang Cheng said to Si Nian, "Where are you going next? Should I give you a ride?"
"No need, right? I'm from the Modu Academy of Drama, and it's not on the way to your Finance and Economics University at all."
"How do you know where I'm going? I'm not going back to school either, so it should be considered on the way."
Seeing Jiang Cheng's insistence on giving her a ride, Si Nian didn't refuse and joked with a smile, "Alright then. There are many very beautiful Young Ladies at our school. After all, it's a drama academy, so the looks are quite high. If you see someone you like later, maybe I can introduce you, so you won't have to go to gatherings alone next time."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand, "Like that Li Xiaoxiao just now? I'm not interested. If I go to visit your school, it would be to experience the artistic atmosphere, not to look at Girls, okay?"
Si Nian understood Jiang Cheng's meaning; after all, Li Xiaoxiao's intentions toward Jiang Cheng earlier were very obvious.
Even she had felt it.
And the reason she felt it was naturally because Li Xiaoxiao seemed to treat her as a competitor.
Probably because she had accompanied Jiang Cheng to such an occasion.
And since Jiang Cheng hadn't explained Si Nian's identity to the others, everyone assumed Si Nian was Jiang Cheng's girlfriend.
Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the Modu Academy of Drama.
It happened to be Saturday, and there were quite a few people coming and going at the school gate.
As expected of a drama academy, just as Si Nian said, there were many Girls with very high looks in the school.
Crucially, these Young Ladies' fashion sense seemed quite good, and those pairs of long legs felt like they were competing in beauty.
Moreover, most of them were students now, so there was less plastic surgery. Scanning across, there were quite a few natural faces.
When Jiang Cheng's Lamborghini supercar stopped, it naturally attracted the attention of many long-legged Young Ladies.
Even if the car's brand wasn't Lamborghini, the cool appearance of the reventón was enough to make these young men and women who hadn't graduated yet feel envious.
"A multi-million supercar? A Lamborghini? Whose car is this? I haven't seen it before?"
"The Handsome Guy in the car is so handsome! He's even higher quality than the most handsome freshman we voted for this year, right?"
"He's probably not from our school, right? If he were, he would have been on the Confession Wall long ago."
"How about going over to ask for his wechat? Maybe there could be a beautiful encounter."
"Encounter? I think it's a short-term sugar baby arrangement. If he's not from our school, he's mostly here to pick up Girls."
...Seeing some passing students staring at Jiang Cheng with bright eyes, Si Nian teased, "How about it? The Young Ladies at our school are pretty good-looking, right?"
Jiang Cheng watched seriously while saying, "They are good-looking, but to be honest, I'm not someone who likes looking at Girls much. I was raised with socialist values and have long known that looking at Girls is useless. No matter how many you look at, they aren't yours. But with things like reading and learning, it doesn't matter if you don't get it the first time; after reading ten times, all kinds of 'knowledge' start to be stored in your mind. So, it's better to read more books than look at Girls."
Si Nian looked at Jiang Cheng with some surprise and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Of course. So, when are you free to treat me to dinner?"
Si Nian couldn't help but laugh, "Looking at how solemnly you said that, I almost believed you just now. Let's talk about this on wechat."
After saying that, Si Nian got out of the car and waved her phone at Jiang Cheng, indicating they would keep in touch on wechat.
Looking at Si Nian's receding figure as she walked inside, Jiang Cheng's mind stirred.
The flow of people at the school gate made Jiang Cheng decide to take a look at the nearby commercial street.
The locations of the milk tea shops he had snatched from Dai Yu a few days ago were all distributed in commercial streets near various universities.
One of them was right near here.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but admire Dai Yu a little. From the way he chose locations, it was clear this guy was actually a talent.
Four stores, four different universities... Tsk tsk, combined, how many 18-year-old young Girls could one run into?
Moreover, compared to women who had entered society, Girls of this age were more simple-minded, believed in love more, and crucially, were easier to satisfy... He wasn't going to scout for girls; he purely wanted to see how the business of this milk tea shop was doing, that was all.
