Lin Qingxue understood her green tea words in a second.
Her charming face immediately darkened, and she decided to fight fire with fire.
Soon, Lin Qingxue bit her lower lip, pouted slightly, and deliberately feigned a very difficult position, saying softly:
"Actually, I didn't want it to be like this, but as soon as they see Jiang Cheng buying me things or bringing me back in a supercar, they get incredibly sour with envy. On the surface, they act like sisters, but in reality, they're always talking bad about me behind my back, calling me a gold-digger. Several of them are ganging up to exclude me. What should I do?"
Jiang Cheng had heard Qiao Yinyin mention this kind of situation before; he didn't expect the same thing to be happening to Lin Qingxue.
Girls' dormitories were indeed terrifying.
After Lin Qingxue finished speaking, not only did a look of deep heartache instantly appear on Jiang Cheng's face,
but the other three were also dumbfounded, calling the whole thing absolutely outrageous!
Wu Kun's reaction was particularly intense.
He jumped up from his seat as if he had springs under his butt, staring with wide eyes and a face full of anger.
"What? Such a thing exists? Those kinds of girls are clearly hard to get along with. Luckily, Senior Lin Qingxue cleared the minefield for us. No matter how beautiful they are, they're not worth it. This is too much."
Lu Chuan, standing nearby, nodded hastily in agreement.
He echoed with equal indignation, "Exactly, it's infuriating just hearing about it. I hate people who talk behind others' backs the most."
Wang Jian couldn't help but say, "Senior Sister, forget about those roommates. Don't worry about what they think."
Jiang Cheng could see the clash of swords and shadows between Lin Qingxue and Yao Xue.
He cooperatively and gently put his arm around Lin Qingxue's shoulder, comforting her in a soft voice, "Just tell me if anything happens. Didn't I buy you a house? Stay out there from now on, don't go back to the dorm."
Hearing this, the corners of Lin Qingxue's mouth curled up into a sweet smile.
"I know!"
After speaking, Lin Qingxue gave Yao Xue a casual-looking glance that was actually full of hidden meaning.
In fact, Lin Qingxue had already noticed when Yao Xue tried to seduce Jiang Cheng earlier.
After all, while she and Jiang Cheng were whispering to each other, she had been keeping an eye on Jiang Cheng's crotch with her peripheral vision.
So, the moment Yao Xue stretched her foot over, she noticed immediately.
Not only that, Lin Qingxue saw all of Jiang Cheng's reactions and movements.
When Jiang Cheng remained unmoved and even skillfully avoided Yao Xue's temptation, she even gave him a silent thumbs-up in her heart.
Seeing the four boys standing up for Lin Qingxue, Yao Xue was so angry her lungs were about to burst.
Especially hearing that Jiang Cheng had bought Lin Qingxue a house, her face distorted with jealousy.
She gritted her teeth so hard it felt like her molars were about to shatter.
However, after suffering these two setbacks, Yao Xue had finally learned to be a bit smarter.
Despite being furious to the extreme, she forced herself to keep a calm face without letting any extra expression show.
Only her slightly trembling hands under the table betrayed her true state of mind.
Around 9 PM, after finishing the hot pot, they all went their separate ways.
In the apartment, Jiang Cheng was using his laptop to check the information about Maiwei Company sent by Wang Sheng.
Maiwei Company indeed had shares belonging to Chen Tie.
According to the system's prompt, Lin Qingxue received a lot of preferential treatment after entering Maiwei Investment Company.
Little did she know that this was all arranged by Chen Tie.
Even before Lin Qingxue entered the company, he had spread rumors to let everyone know she had gotten in through the back door.
Because of this, the department manager treated Lin Qingxue with special consideration.
Consequently, everyone from the manager down to the colleagues took meticulous care of Lin Qingxue.
As a result, Lin Qingxue's fondness for the company grew day by day.
Even when she occasionally had to stay late for overtime, she was particularly proactive.
One day during overtime, Lin Qingxue was the only one left in the company.
And that night... thinking of this, Jiang Cheng's eyes turned cold again.
Although Mingsheng Group had completely blacklisted all of Chen Tie's family's mining businesses,
some of their family's other investment projects still remained.
After some estimation, Chen Tie's family still had about a billion in assets.
Originally, Jiang Cheng didn't plan to wipe them out completely, but then he thought about what would happen if he didn't have the Danger Perception Skill.
Or if the Danger Perception Skill couldn't relate to the danger facing Lin Qingxue, then would she have become cannon fodder for Chen Tie's revenge against Jiang Cheng, just as the Danger Perception prompt suggested?
Jiang Cheng opened the encrypted group that the system had specially added to wechat.
Theoretically, only Jiang Cheng could see this group.
Meaning, even if Lin Qingxue browsed his wechat on his phone, she would never see this group chat.
Jiang Cheng sent a message to the Security Team group.
"Target: Chen Tie. Terminate him abroad."
Although he could have finished Chen Tie in China, like Hao Liang and Wen Ang before him, Jiang Cheng didn't want to do that.
After all, that would be too easy for him. Many things were more convenient to handle in Tyrande.
After sending it, Jiang Cheng checked the information sent by Wu Quan again.
According to the spreadsheet sent by Wu Quan,
the number of imported Dazong Automobile vehicles in China equipped with that problematic diesel engine model was nearly 2,000.
In other words, Dazong Automobile vehicles equipped with this engine were likely non-compliant with China's emission standards.
As for whether these cars were secretly equipped with cheating software, that required further investigation.
At midnight, the city's hustle and bustle was replaced by silence.
This moment for Lin Qingxue and Jiang Cheng was exactly the time for their 'one, two, three, four' routine.
Meanwhile, in a corner of an inconspicuous ordinary bar,
Chen Tie was sitting alone at a table for two, completely drunk.
The table in front of him was covered with empty beer bottles, and he held a freshly filled glass of beer, constantly pouring it into his mouth.
As glass after glass went down, his eyes lost focus, but they were filled with intense hatred.
After his family found out that the blacklisting of their enterprise was caused by him, they all came to scold him mercilessly.
Especially his parents; their words were like sharp arrows piercing his heart, causing him immense pain and shame.
Although his parents eventually forgave him,
other relatives in the family had threatened that if he dared to come home, they would break his legs without hesitation.
Nowadays, in Shanghai, without Shen Lang's company and having offended too many people before, he would be mocked wherever he went; even those he used to bully dared to roll their eyes at him.
This made Chen Tie feel that his dignity had been completely trampled upon.
Going to bars also felt lonely; besides being able to order two girls from the Atmosphere Group, there was no one around him.
Recalling a few days ago when he was still a figure surrounded by adoring crowds like a moon among stars, the hatred in Chen Tie's heart surged even more.
Because of Jiang Cheng, he didn't dare to go home and couldn't stay in Shanghai anymore.
Worst of all, his family had cut off his credit card limit, from one million a month to only one hundred thousand a month now.
The drop in quality of life was a world of difference.
Gulping down beer one after another, Chen Tie muttered to himself, "A gentleman's revenge is never too late."
