I’ll Add Points To All Things - Chapter 412

Chapter 412: Unlocking The First Affinity!

Su Yang wanted to move the question mark to [Friendship] to check and see if there were any other effects.

However, he realized that there was no way to get a deeper explanation than what he already had.

‘I should be fine.

‘Even if there is a problem, I think it’s… worth trying it out.

‘After all, it’s 1.3 billion yuan! That’s a huge amount! The outrageous amount of zeros in the number!

‘As much as I’m not a greedy person, I honestly can’t help myself when faced with such a huge sum of money.

However, the only thing that worries me is Guo Xiaoying’s sharp tongue. Am I really able to roast her? I don’t want to be roasted back instead…’

As Su Yang was worried, he kept his [Unrestricted Driver’s License].

He slowly got over it. ‘Anyway, [Unlimited Driver’s License] will be refreshed in 2 days. I might as well use it first, it’ll be fine even if it gets wasted.’

With that in mind, he intended to return to the bus to look for Guo Xiaoying.

However, before he even left, he turned around and suddenly… he realized that Qu Xuan was squatting behind a tree with a dejected look.

Su Yang was confused.

‘How long has he been there

‘I’ve been using the [Unrestricted Driver’s License] for so long, could he have seen me?

[Should I kill him?’

Su Yang sized him up and realized that Qu Xuan was immersed in his own world.

‘Nice, forget seeing me, this guy probably doesn’t even realize that I’m here.’

As a friend, Su Yang felt that he should show his concern for the guy. Hence, he walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Qu Xuan looked up at Su Yang and sighed. “Su Yang, I screwed up.”

Su Yang was puzzled. “How so?”

He recalled Qu Xuan’s enthusiasm for Guo Xiaoying and Xue Ya. Then he looked at Qu Xuan’s pitiful face as he squatted on the ground and asked, “Could it be that you’ve been rejected when you tried to pursue those 2 girls?”

After saying that, Su Yang dismissed his own thoughts. “That can’t be right. You’ve always been placing your eggs into several baskets and focusing on the ones with profits. Hence, you wouldn’t end up like this because of some setback.”

Qu Xuan sighed and shook his head. “It’s different this time…”

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something as he looked at the bus. After a while, he returned to his senses and sighed again.

Su Yang was rendered speechless by his pretentious behavior. ‘Has this guy been watching too many idol dramas? What the hell is he playing at?

Qu Xuan sighed and looked at Su Yang as though he wanted to explain something.

However, just as he opened his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He seemed to have found hope. He stood up immediately and said to Su Yang excitedly, “Mr. President, could you do me a favor?”

Su Yang shook his head without hesitation. “No.”

Qu Xuan did not expect Su Yang to reject him so readily. He was stunned for a moment before asking, “Why?”

Su Yang shook his finger. “I’m very sure that you’re planning to do something which is related to those 2 girls. I don’t want to be a part of your schemes.”

Qu Xuan coughed. “It’s not exactly… a plan, I suppose.”

Then, he mustered his courage and looked into Su Yang’s eyes as he said with a very serious tone. “I think I’ve found my true love!”

Su Yang was dumbfounded.

‘Qu Xuan… stop fooling around. How could you possibly have found your true love when you’re a playboy? It sounds like… a new excuse for courting girls!’

Qu Xuan looked around and when he realized that no one was nearby, he hooked his arms around Su Yang’s neck and whispered, “It’s not a joke. I’m dead serious.”

Su Yang looked at the playboy with a constipated expression.

‘There’s no way I’m going to believe you.’

Initially, Su Yang did not intend to bother with this guy. However, he suddenly remembered that there were only 2 female students. ‘The spectacled girl in black doesn’t have any presence at all. Could Qu Xuan have taken a fancy for the girl that’s worth 1.3 billion yuan?

‘If that’s true, what am I going to do when he affects my plan to unlock her [Affinity]…’

At the thought of this, Su Yang felt that he had to find out more about the situation. He pointed at the bus and asked tentatively, “Have you taken a fancy for that girl with big eyes? Guo Xiaoying… was it?”

Qu Xuan shook his head. “No. It’s the spectacled girl in black with a book in her hands. Guo Xiaoying’s best friend.”

Su Yang was confused.

“Black clothes? Wearing glasses and holding a book?”

“If you hadn’t told me that she is Guo Xiaoying’s best friend, I wouldn’t even have remembered who she is!”

“Also, did the girl even talk to you? Yet you’ve fallen for her already?”

Sensing Su Yang’s confusion, Qu Xuan asked, “Do you believe in love at first sight?”

Su Yang had goosebumps when he heard the cliche words. He rubbed his arm and said, “Stop making me feel disgusted when it’s so early in the morning.”

Qu Xuan sighed. “Frankly, I don’t believe it either. But… I’ve really met one.”

He looked at the bus as though he had X-Ray vision, seeing right through the layers of steel. “When I first saw her, I could feel my heart racing, but I tried my best to hide it. After I was done sending them to the bus and I looked back at her, I was sure that she’s the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Why does it feel so fake…’

“I believe that you… you’re only interested in her body.”

Qu Xuan grabbed Su Yang’s hand and said with a serious expression “I’m begging you Su Yang, my brother-in-law, please get her Wechat account details for me! I’ve seriously fallen for her!”

Su Yang was speechless.

Su Yang was a little suspicious as he looked at the sincerity in Qu Xuan’s eyes. ‘Could he be telling the truth?’

However, when he recalled Qu Xuan’s past history, he still found it hard to believe him…

‘This guy is merely after the girl’s tender body…

‘Pervert.’

Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, he heard a beep beside his ear. It was a new random mission.

‘Random mission?

‘What kind of random mission?

It can’t be a coincidence, right?

‘Could it be related to Qu Xuan?’

Su Yang pretended that nothing had happened and opened the system.

[New Random Mission: Help Qu Xiaoming get his true love’s WeChat.]

‘True love…

‘It’s actually… true?

‘She truly is his true love?’

Su Yang was really shocked.

This guy was too good at hiding his true intentions. There was no sign of this ever since we met the girls! There was no way anyone could tell what he was thinking!

‘Also, is this guy changing his ways?

‘Is there actually such a thing as love at first sight?

‘Could a person really mend their ways after experiencing love at first sight?

Su Yang remembered that he had turned off [Heaven’s Eyes] when he was at the train station previously. Now that he was faced with such a strange situation, he quickly opened it. Then, he asked Qu Xuan slowly, word for word, “Have you really fallen for that girl?”

Qu Xuan nodded. “Yes.”

[Heaven’s Eyes] judged that he was telling the truth.

Su Yang asked, “Are you sure you’re not just fooling around?”

Qu Xuan shook his head. “No.”

[Heaven’s Eyes] judged that he was telling the truth again.

Su Yang asked, “You’re not just after her body?”

Qu Xuan looked determined. “No.”

[Heaven’s Eyes] still… judged that he was telling the truth.

Su Yang was dumbfounded.

‘Damn.

‘Isn’t this too good to be true?

‘It’s verified to be true love again!

‘However, since Qu Xuan has seriously fallen in love with her and the system has given me the mission, I should help him. After all, I’d be able to spare millions of girls from having to be tarnished by this scumbag.

‘Furthermore, it would be considered to be a merit if these 2 truly loved each other and could be in a relationship together.’

At that thought, Su Yang stopped hesitating and said, “Alright! I’ll help you!”

Qu Xuan was so agitated that tears were about to fall from his eyes. He grabbed Su Yang’s hand. “Brother-in-law! From now on, I’ve decided that you’re my brother-in-law! I’ll help you to watch over my sister every day!”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘You’d better not! I don’t want you to make things worse instead!

‘Plus, I’m not doing this to expect anything in return from you!’

‘With Qu Xuan’s anticipation, Su Yang boarded the bus again.

On the way to the bus, Su Yang thought it through. ‘If I were to ask Xue Ya for her WeChat directly, it would easily cause her to misunderstand my intentions. Moreover, it would become troublesome if she were to fall for me and turn this into a love triangle.

‘Furthermore, It’s obvious that Guo Xiaoying is the alpha among the 2 of them. Therefore, I could just build up a good relationship with her and get Xue Ya’s WeChat from her indirectly before sending it to Qu Xuan.

‘That way, I would be able to complete both my random mission and the 1.3 billion yuan project!

‘I’ve got the best of both worlds!’

At that thought, Su Yang got into the car. He held the [Unrestricted Driver’s License] in his hand and used its ability for the first time on Guo Xiaoying without hesitation.

[Are you sure you want to use the Unrestricted Driver’s License on Guo Xiaoying?]

Su Yang clicked on [Yes].

[Affinity system successfully unlocked. Please choose between Kinship, Friendship, and Love.]

Note: You are only able to choose 1 of the 3 options per person. You will be able to check the value and also increase or decrease the values of the chosen option. Furthermore, there would still be values for the other options and would change correspondingly. However, you will not be able to check, increase or decrease the values.

Su Yang understood what had been shown in front of him.

‘In short, although I’ll only be able to see one option, the other two still exist. Furthermore, it’s value will change corresponding to the changes that happen between the 2 of us. It only means that I can’t use my special abilities to see or change its values.

‘However, this would be enough. I’m not planning to go around having lovers everywhere.’ With that thought, Su Yang chose [Friendship] without hesitation.

A notification appeared before him.

[Guo Xiaoying’s Affinity system (Friendship) successfully activated.]

With the [Affinity] system activated, Su Yang looked at Guo Xiaoying and saw a heart in front of her.

[Affinity (Friendship): 2 / 100 (Stranger)

[Comprehensive judgment: The other party sees you as a stranger. Try chatting with them first.]

‘So we really are strangers at the moment.

‘However, it makes sense. We’ve just met, so how could we be familiar with each other? It would seem that I still have a long way to go to complete the 1.3 billion yuan project.’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang walked forward and sat next to Guo Xiaoying. The two of them sat across from each other in the aisle.

Su Yang was a straightforward guy, hence he did not know how to communicate with her. Therefore, he merely smiled awkwardly and asked Guo Xiaoying, “Where are you from?”

[Affinity -1]

Su Yang was speechless as he looked at the heart that had turned from 2 to 1.

‘What have I done?

‘I merely asked a simple question, was there a need to deduct my value?’

He looked at the [Affinity] system.

[Affinity (Friendship): 1 / 100 (Passerby)]

[Comprehensive judgment: You’ve only met them once. Perhaps they’ve got an impression of you when they glanced at you.]

Su Yang was speechless.

‘I’ve gone from being strangers to a passerby just like that?’

Although Guo Xiaoying’s [Affinity] for Su Yang had dropped, there weren’t any changes on her face. She smiled happily and said to Su Yang, “I’m from Suzhou.”

‘Suzhou…’

‘I should probably carry on with the topic and talk about her hometown. Hang on… On second thought, I should be roasting her since I have [The Pork Shoulder That Can Roast] instead of following the flow of the conversation!

‘After all, I will only be able to increase her [Affinity] by roasting her!’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang said, “I heard that it rains so much in Suzhou that your clothes can’t dry up no matter how long it took? Do you feel that your clothes dry much better since you’ve arrived in Shanghai?”

Guo Xiaoying was confused

[The Pork Shoulder That Can Roast’s effect triggered, roast successful, Affinity+1]

‘Finally, it’s done.’

Chapter 413: The Polar Bear in Sheep’s Clothing

Su Yang’s heart was filled with motivation as he watched his [Affinity points] increase by one with great difficulty, turning from a passerby back to a stranger again.

He studied Guo Xiaoying. When he saw her big eyes, an idea came to his mind as he asked, “Do you find it uncomfortable when your eyes are so big?”

Guo Xiaoying was stunned. “Excuse me?”

Su Yang replied, “Wouldn’t it fall out if you glare at someone slightly?”

Guo Xiaoying was confused

[The Pork Shoulder That Can Roast’s effect triggered: Roast successful, Affinity+1]

‘The [Affinity point] has increased by 1 point again, increasing from 3 to 4. However, the judgement is still [Stranger]. It seems like our relationship as strangers is going to last for a while…’

After that, Su Yang started an awkward conversation. He didn’t care what others thought of him. He just kept roasting Guo Xiaoying.

Guo Xiaoying would ignore him when he roasts her.

When Guo Xiaoying replies to him, he would still roast her.

Su Yang kept on roasting her until she felt ecstatic about it.

However, the strange thing was that Guo Xiaoying didn’t seem to dislike it. She just looked at Su Yang and thought that he was acting strangely. Su Yang thought that it might be due to the effect of [The Pork Shoulder That Can Roast], even though he roasted someone, it doesn’t make them unhappy.

Also, while he was roasting her, Su Yang realized that his roasts would not always succeed.

Sometimes, Su Yang’s roasts would be deemed unsuccessful. Moreover, Guo Xiaoying would look at him with disdain and her [Affinity] would drop as well.

Regardless, Su Yang tried his best to roast Guo Xiaoying during the entire journey, but he only managed to increase her [Affinity] from 2 to 6 since he had some unsuccessful attempts in between. Furthermore, due to his unsuccessful attempts, her [Affinity] dropped as well, causing the final result to be at 6 points.

Su Yang felt disheartened when he saw that her [Affinity] remained at that number.

‘How long would it take for me to see any results at this rate?

‘I thought that he would be able to get 10 [Affinity points] in a day with [The Pork Shoulder That Can Roast]. Then, I would be able to [Drive] after 10 days…

‘It’s all just a dream!

‘Well, I should’ve expected as much, there was no way that the system would give me something that could make me greater within a short period of time…’

However, Su Yang still managed to get Guo Xiaoying’s WeChat account because of the 6 points of [Affinity], including the fact that he was her senior.

When they reached the school and got out of the car, Qu Xuan pulled Su Yang to one side with a black face and helplessly asked, “Mr. President, have you made a mistake?”

Su Yang was puzzled. “No, I haven’t.”

Qu Xuan pointed towards the backs of Guo Xiaoying and Xue Ya as they walked away. “But Xue Ya’s WeChat is the one that I want.”

“Oh…” Su Yang said.” But you saw it yourself, Xue Ya has been buried in her book the whole time, she didn’t even talk to me. There’s nothing that I can do about that. So, my plan is to go through her best friend. I’ll be on good terms with Guo Xiaoying first and ask her for Xue Ya’s WeChat later. ”

Qu Xuan nodded in realization. “That does sound like a plan…”

However, after nodding, he immediately reacted. “Hang on! What about my sister!”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Hurry up and forget about your sister! You’re just a troublemaker!’

After sending Qu Xuan away, Su Yang walked home.

‘I shouldn’t rush both Qu Xuan’s matter and my own matter. After all, a 1.3 billion yuan project won’t just appear out of nowhere.’

…

Xue Ya was a quiet girl. She did not like to talk much since she was young. She preferred to do everything quietly including reading, listening to music and exercising.

However, she had a close friend who was the complete opposite from her, Guo Xiaoying.

Guo Xiaoying had grown up with her since kindergarten and had never been separated from each other in primary school, middle school and high school. Plus, they had even signed up for the same degree in college.

Under normal circumstances, the characters of 2 people would become closer and closer after interacting over a long period of time. However, this was not the case for these 2 girls. Guo Xiaoying was a sweet girl, but… she had been rather weird since she was a child. She liked to pull pranks, tease people and even loved to backstab others…

Xue Ya remembered someone bullying her when she was in primary school. Guo Xiaoying knew about it but didn’t care. Instead, she even became friends with the bully on her own accord. Furthermore, Guo Xiaoying neither went to school nor back with Xue Ya altogether and would only spend most of her time with the bully.

At the time, Xue Ya thought that her best friend had abandoned her.

In the end, less than a month later, rumors and negative news about the bully began spread like wildfire throughout the whole school. There were rumors about her dating someone outside of the school and how she had already slept with him a long time ago. Also, there were rumors about how she cheated in exams among many other things.

Due to the fact that the rumors had spread like wildfire, the teachers had no choice but to call her parents to handle the matter. In the end… the bully was transferred to another school.

After that, Guo Xiaoying returned to Xue Ya’s side and smiled sweetly as if nothing had happened…

Although Guo Xiaoying did not say anything, Xue Ya knew that she was the one behind everything that had happened.

Although Guo Xiaoying’s methods were very immature, it was enough to ruin an elementary school girl’s image and reputation.

Every time she saw Guo Xiaoying smiling and looking harmless, Xue Ya could not find it within herself to relate herself with a backstabber like her.

However, Guo Xiaoying was her best friend and also the person who had taken revenge for her. She only had feelings of gratitude for Guo Xiaoying, nothing else.

Well… there was actually a change if one were to be critical about it. She knew that someone was going to be in trouble whenever she saw Guo Xiaoying smiling brightly…

The same had happened on that day.

‘Initially, when Guo Xiaoying and myself had arrived at the new student’s reception area, a handsome senior came and offered to help us. However, she rejected him without hesitation and chose to speak with another ordinary looking senior instead.

‘Actually, I’ve noticed the first senior several times, I thought that he was quite handsome and looked bright. I have no idea why she chose 2 ordinary looking seniors instead of him.

‘Then, she whispered to me when we were on the bus that the handsome senior is obviously a scumbag and that his eyes were shining so much as if he had found his prey.

‘On the other hand, the other two second-year students seemed very simple and easy to fool. Therefore, she could communicate with them more to understand the school’s situation. She would then kick her away like a piece of trash after she was done with them.

‘I did not comment although I don’t think she’s right since she never listened to me anyway.

‘Also… I don’t think the handsome guy’s a scumbag, he seemed pretty nice…

‘Then, things got really strange. The ordinary looking senior kept chatting with Xiao Ying after he got on the bus. He even… mocked her continuously.

‘I was shocked to see him mock her continuously.

‘Does he resent being alive?

‘Otherwise, why did he have to do such a suicidal thing?

‘The woman before him isn’t a harmless little lamb. She’s a polar bear in wolf’s skin!

‘She’s the kind that can kill someone when she goes berserk!’

Xue Ya looked at the book and glanced at the ordinary looking senior through her glasses and silently prayed for him.

‘I hope he’d be shown some mercy when he gets killed…

However, It’s strange that Guo Xiaoying wasn’t angry at all even after the senior mocked her during the entire journey.’

This made Xue Ya, who understood her best friend the most, confused. ‘Has the tiger lost his fangs?’

They got out of the car and went to the school’s reception for new students to report in. After being allocated their dormitory, the two of them were very lucky to be placed together.

After Guo Xiaoying sweet talked a few pitiful seniors, they were “used” to help carry their luggage to their dormitory.

Xue Ya thanked them sincerely and pitied the seniors who were still secretly looking at Guo Xiaoying. ‘I pity them…’

Perhaps the two of them had arrived a little early since their dorm mates had not arrived yet.

Xue Ya tidied her bed and asked Guo Xiaoying, “Little Ying, you’re acting weird today.”

Guo Xiaoying was sitting on a chair as she hummed a song and played with her phone. Her bright eyes were shining as she casually asked, “How so?”

Xue Ya adjusted her glasses. “That senior has been mocking you continuously, but you don’t seem angry at all.”

Guo Xiaoying turned to Ya Ya and said with a smile, “Ya Ya, that’s not called mocking, it’s roasting. But… that senior is really bad at roasting others.”

“I’m really curious as to who had given him so much courage to keep on roasting when he’s so bad at it. Could it be Liang Jingru?.”

Xue Ya was speechless.

Guo Xiaoying blinked and said, “I’m able to roast a lot better than him.”

Yaya shook her head. “You’re both about the same.”

Guo Xiaoying laughed and jumped over to hug Yaya. She rubbed her head against Yaya’s neck and said happily, “You’re the best. I’m so happy that we spend most of our time together.”

Xue Ya knocked on Guo Xiaoying’s hands which were moving upwards on her body. “Behave yourself. I’m packing.”

Guo Xiaoying let go of Xue Ya but sat down on the blanket that Xue Ya had just laid out. She ignored Ya Ya’s helpless expression and said, “Ya Ya, don’t put it like that. I find that senior really interesting. Even though he’s bad at roasting and is also a boring person to chat with, the look on his face when he’s putting in his effort to attract my attention is quite cute.”

Xue Ya looked at Guo Xiaoying in surprise. “Little Ying, you…”

Guo Xiaoying looked at her and smiled slyly. “I’m guessing that he isn’t popular in school, has no friends and lacks presence. That’s probably why he is so eager to show off in front of me.”

After saying that, Guo Xiaoying went deep in thought before she said, “It’s also possible that he doesn’t have any female friends, so he keeps sticking to girls whenever he sees one. How do you think we should tease him?”

“He’s such a cute guy, we shouldn’t scare him off. We should play with him for a while longer!”

Xue Ya was speechless.

‘I knew that I had thought too much, she’s still the same devil as usual.

‘Also, why is it “we”? It’s clearly “you”…’

Guo Xiaoying had no idea that her best friend was ridiculing her. After planning for a while, she jumped out of bed and reached out for her phone. “What’s the senior’s name again? Su Yang? I need to find out more about him!”

Xue Ya silently continued to tidy up her bed and prayed for her pitiful senior. ‘Senior, you’re a good person, but you’ve really met a bad person this time…’

However, before she could say more, she heard a scream. “Ah!”

Xue Ya turned to look at her best friend. “Again? What now?”

Little Ying glared at Xue Ya. “I don’t want to hear the word “again”!”

Xue Ya was speechless.

That’s right, although there was nothing wrong with her friend, she hated it when others said the word “again” to her.This is because she would feel that they were blaming her for repeating her mistakes and that made her very frustrated.

Xue Ya tilted her head to look at her, trying to make her tone sound like she was coaxing a child. “Then, what happened to you?”

Xiao Ying raised her phone and showed it to Xue Ya. “Take a look! That senior, Su Yang is a famous figure in the school!”

Chapter 414: A Strange Change in Affinity

‘A famous figure?

‘The senior who looked like a passerby?’

Xue Ya took the phone in confusion and realized that it was the school’s forum on the screen. There were many posts talking about Su Yang in the forum.

After Xue Ya scanned through the posts, only 1 word could be seen on her face behind the glasses, unbelievable…

It was no wonder that she could not believe it. It was because there was only 1 conclusion throughout the entire post, Su Yang was the most amazing person among his peers in the first year.

‘He sang well and became famous after playing on the guitar of a wandering singer. Plus, his voice was full of vicissitudes.

‘Furthermore, his grades were good and he ranked in the top three in every subject. His memory was also superb, so much that he could recite movies and dramas in English and other foreign languages well.

‘Apart from that, he established his first company during the second half of the year and it blew up immediately as he helped thousands of students in the school to find suitable part-time jobs which increased their income. The reputation of the company even spreaded to 2 neighbouring schools, affecting more students.

‘At the end of the semester, he opened a technology company and developed a social app. As a result, millions of users registered to the app and the artificial intelligence that he developed was recognized by the country.

‘During the holidays, he established a film company and made an online movie. At that moment, the box office was close to 40 million yuan and he was about to break the record for online movies. He was going to become the most popular online movie in history.

‘Not only was Su Yang successful in his career and also academically, he was also surrounded by beauties. The pretty secretary from his class, Chuxia, had a close relationship with him. Xu Lu, a third-year senior in the art college was also close with him. Furthermore, he was in close relationship with the famous actress, Han Yi and a very pretty C-rank celebrity, Lin JIali.

‘Also, according to an anonymous insider, his secretary is also an extremely beautiful woman and is very good at fighting.”

‘In summary, he’s a person who has risen from the bottom and achieving success at a young age with beautiful women revolving around him.

‘It’s also because of this that many girls in the school listed him as one of the highest ranking guys in the school and are all revolving around him, hoping to be together with him.’

Xue Ya was shocked after reading it. She looked at Little Ying. “This… this is the ordinary looking senior who looks like a passerby?”

Guo Xiaoying swallowed and nodded. “I never would’ve thought that he is such a famous person… all of this sounds so unbelievable.”

As she said that, she blinked her big eyes. “Could he have paid for the posts on Tieba…”

Xue Ya put down the phone and rolled her eyes at Guo Xiaoying. She could not be bothered to answer this silly question. Instead, she directly said, “If that’s the case, that senior seems to be pretty good. If he really likes you, you could give it a go.”

Guo Xiaoying’s eyes lit up as she seemed to absorb every single word that had been said.

Xue Ya shook her head and continued to unpack her luggage. She had a quiet personality and didn’t like to be together with famous people. Her ideal kind of love life was where she and her lover quietly read together. On the other hand, famous people seemed to be right up Guo Xiaoying’s alley.

‘If that passerby is really able to treat Guo Xiaoying well, I will sincerely support their relationship…’

As that was happening, Su Yang had returned to the virtual space and was lying on the sofa, thinking about how he should interact with Guo Xiaoying.

Suddenly, a notification popped up before his eyes, [Affinity +1]

‘What? How did I gain +1 for Affinity?’

Just as he was thinking about that, a few more notifications appeared before him.

[Affinity +1]

[Affinity +1]

Su Yang was shocked when he received [Affinity +1] 3 times in a row.

‘I’ve only unlocked Guo Xiaoying’s [Affinity], so there’s no doubt whose [Affinity] has increased..

‘But that’s strange. I haven’t done anything, so how did her [Affinity] increase?’

Su Yang took out his [Unrestricted Driver’s License] from his pocket and flipped it open. As expected, Guo Xiaoying’s favorability increased from +6 to +9.

Su Yang was even more confused.

‘Did this girl think about it for a long time and realize that I was decent? Hence her [Affinity] for me increased?

‘Isn’t her reaction too slow already? Could she be a turtle?

‘Then, should I make use of this momentum and continue talking to her?’

Su Yang hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Guo Xiaoying. ‘What are you doing?’

[Affinity -1]

Su Yang was confused.

‘I’m used to Guo Xiaoying’s constant fluctuation in favorability. However, I’m not sure if it’s applicable only to Guo Xiaoying or everyone else.

‘But, that’s fine. I could treat this as an experiment…’

Guo Xiaoying replied after five minutes, ‘Send me some gift money please.’

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Why does this WeChat message look like a scam?’

However, at the thought of Guo Xiaoying’s mischievous and youthful appearance, Su Yang couldn’t bring it upon himself to call her a liar.

‘Could Guo Xiaoying be a… gold digger? A scumbag?

Su Yang felt that this girl was full of contradictions. However, when he thought of the 1.3 billion yuan project from Guo Xiaoying, he hesitated for a long time. In the end, he decided to give her a gift money of 8.88 yuan. ‘This sacrifice is nothing for the greater good!’

[Affinity -1]

Su Yang was dumbfounded.

‘-1 again!

‘I’m convinced now!

‘Guo Xiaoying’s [Affinity] is behaving too strangely!

‘I gave you gift money as you requested, yet you’ve actually lowered your [Affinity]?!

‘Could you be complaining that the amount is too little?’

However, Su Yang took a look at the chat history. ‘Guo Xiaoying hasn’t received the gift money at all, she couldn’t have found out how much money is in there. So, what’s the reason?’

Moments later, the gift money was received.

[Affinity -1]

Su Yang was speechless.

‘I shouldn’t have talked to her. I’ve managed to have 3 points of [Affinity] deducted because I spoke to her. However, I’ve managed to gain 3 points from not talking to her instead.

‘This person must be crazy!’

Just as he was about to go insane, Guo Xiaoying sent him a WeChat message. ‘Thank you boss! I’m so happy!’

Su Yang chuckled. ‘I really can’t tell how happy you are right now!’

He was really too curious about this weird change, so after suppressing it for a long time, he still asked directly, ‘Do you really like my gift money?’

A moment later, Guo Xiaoying replied, ‘Of course I do. I’m a gold digger after all.’

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Would someone really call themselves a gold digger?

‘Not only is she not ashamed, she’s actually proud of it?

‘Is there something wrong with this woman’s morals?’

Su Yang could not hold it in any longer and replied, ‘It’s shameful to be a gold digger. Women should rely on themselves.’

Initially, Su Yang thought that Guo Xiaoying’s [Affinity] would continue to drop after he sent that text message. However, something unexpected happened.

[Affinity +1]

Su Yang was speechless.

Then, Guo Xiaoying sent a WeChat message. ‘What’s wrong with being a gold digger? All of the girls nowadays are gold diggers.’

Su Yang seemed to have figured out the pattern for Guo Xiaoying’s [Affinity]. He replied, ‘This is a problem caused by social values. Although many people are doing this now, it doesn’t mean that it’s the right thing to do.’

Guo Xiaoying replied, ‘What a straight arrow.’

[Affinity +1]

Looking at the [Affinity +1] notification, Su Yang finally understood.

‘After analyzing the situation, there are only two possibilities.

‘First, Guo Xiaoying likes to talk nonsense. Although she claims that she’s a gold digger, she isn’t like that at all. In fact, she despises all gold diggers.

‘Second, she’s a complete masochist! She won’t be happy if I play along with her. On the contrary, criticising her and scolding her makes her excited instead.

‘Whichever it is, she’s… abnormal.’

…

Xue Ya tidied up her bed and started unpacking Guo Xiaoying’s luggage. They had known each other for so many years and had gotten used to each other. Guo Xiaoying was always the one protecting Xue Ya, but Xue Ya was always the one taking care of her.

Xue Ya glanced at Guo Xiaoying as she made the bed for her. The latter was sending text messages excitedly.

Xue Ya adjusted her glasses and asked, “Texting the passerby senior?”

Guo Xiaoying nodded happily.

Then he showed Xue Ya his phone with a look of disgust. “Look, this person is so dumb. He just gives out gift money casually. Is he stupid? Does he have no brains?”

Xue Ya took a look at the chat history. ‘Guo Xiaoying asked Su Yang for gift money and Su Yang gave it to her.’

She clicked on the red packet and opened it to find 8.88 yuan inside.

Guo Xiaoying heard the red packet open and took a look at it. The disdain on her face deepened. “8.88? Oh my God, how stingy can he be? So… he’s both brainless and stingy. Is he really the senior who’s a famous figure? Wouldn’t our school’s standards be too low then?”

Xue Ya glanced at Guo Xiaoying without saying anything. Then, she saw Guo Xiaoying typing a WeChat message on her screen. [Thank you boss! I’m so happy!]

She shook her head. ‘Guo Xiaoying is going to pretend to be a gold digger again.

‘Guo Xiaoying comes from a decent family background and is definitely not a gold digger. On the contrary, she’s a bit of a feminist. She prefers women who relied on themselves instead of depending on men. Of course, she also wants girls to enjoy the same rights and obligations as men do.

‘Therefore, she hates gold diggers the most.

‘Because of this, she likes to roleplay the character of a gold digger when teasing others to see how the man would reply.

‘If the man really took the bait or tried to smooth things over, she would categorise him in her list of targets to continue toying with.’

Thinking of this, Xue Ya shook her head again. ‘Dear passerby senior… I wish you all the best. Why did you have to associate yourself with such a little devil?’

After complaining, Xue Ya lowered her head and continued to tidy up Little Ying’s bed. However, before she could do anything, the sound of a boy shouting could be heard from downstairs, “Xue Ya! Xue Ya!”

‘What? Who’s calling me?’

Xue Ya stopped what she was doing and walked to the window. She looked down and saw the handsome senior that she had seen at the train station earlier.

The handsome senior was holding a bouquet of roses and shouting at his window, “Xue Ya! I like you! Please be my girlfriend!”

‘What…’

Xue Ya’s mind was blank and butterflies filled her stomach.

She did not know how to react to this sensational confession that she had only seen on television.

Just as she was at a loss of what to do, she suddenly felt a huge force push her to one side.

She panicked and looked at the person who pushed her. Then she saw Guo Xiaoying carrying a basin of water and splashing it down the window.

Qu Xuan could not dodge in time and was drenched.

“Wow!” As onlookers gasped in shock, Guo Xiaoying pointed at Qu Xuan and scolded, “If you dare have any malicious thoughts for Little Ya again, I will castrate you!”

With that, she shouted, “Scram!” and slammed the window shut!

Xue Ya stole a worried glance at Qu Xuan who was downstairs. She realized that Qu Xuan only wiped his face before shouting upstairs with a smile, “Even if you castrate me, my feelings for Little Ya will not change!”

At that moment, Xue Ya felt like Qu Xuan’s… teeth were glowing.

However, she didn’t have time to think about it. She hurried to appease Guo Xiaoying who was about to explode from anger. ‘If I don’t hurry up and calm her down, she might really castrate Qu Xuan…’

Seeing the dangerous look in Guo Xiaoying’s eyes, Xue Ya thought, ‘I don’t think anything will happen to that passerby senior for now. As for that handsome senior… he’s going to be in trouble…’

…

As expected, Guo Xiaoying was not a kind person. Even after Xue Ya comforted her for a long time, she still went straight to the hospital and said that the second-year students from other departments were harassing the first-year students. She then requested the departmental leaders to take action.

The school immediately went on high alert since something like that happened before school even started. After the teachers completed their investigation, they headed straight to the sports faculty.

Thus, on that very day, Qu Xuan was called over by his department head to give him a scolding, warning him that if he dared to act recklessly again, he would be punished.

At the same time, Su Yang was also called over by his staff to give him a lecture as well. During the investigation, the staff found out that Su Yang was also sitting beside the two new female students and talked non-stop. Hence, he was also suspected of harassment.

Perhaps because Guo Xiaoying didn’t report Su Yang, the school only instructed the person in charge to warn Su Yang not to harass the new students in the future. Plus, he also had to pay attention to how he wooed girls.

Su Yang’s face was filled with confusion as he didn’t even know what kind of accusations he was involved in…

However, this was how life was like when one was a student. Often, a small matter would cause an uproar. As time passed, these small matters would become a very precious gem in their memories…

On the 1st of September, school started for second, third and fourth year students while first years have their orientation. It was also on this day that Su Yang received a call from Mr. Shen from the credit department…

Chapter 415: So What If You’re Rich?

When he received the call, Su Yang had just finished the class meeting for the new semester. The speaker had spoken a lot on the podium. However, since Chu Xia had not returned to school yet, Su Yang was in no mood to listen to what was being said.

‘Chu Xia seems to really have something important to attend to. Ever since she called to say that she was out of town, she disappeared without a trace. She didn’t even come back to school when school started.’

Her disappearance made Su Yang slightly think of Chu Xia… causing him to not dare to skip classes anymore.

After the class meeting, Su Yang walked out of the school building and received Mr.Shen’s call.

When he heard Little Deeny say that Mr.Shen called, Su Yang felt as if he was about to complete the Silver mission…

He picked up the phone, and sure enough, Mr.Shen’s passionate voice came from the other end of the line. “Hello, good morning, Mr. Su.”

Su Yang replied warmly, “Mr. Shen, let’s drop the honorifics, Little Su will be fine. Good morning to you as well.”

Mr.Shen quickly said, “No, no, no. How could I possibly call you Little Su when you’re so young and capable? Actually, I wanted to meet you for lunch to talk about your loan today…”

…

Mr.Shen had been living a good life these past few days. The reason why he did not do anything these few years was because he was afraid of troubles coming after him and laziness instead of his incapability.

Therefore, when he really wanted to do something seriously, his results were still outstanding.

In just a week, his sales had increased tremendously. Loans after loans were sent to the Risk Assessment Department for reviewing and were all eligible for approval. All the companies that wanted to take a loan or those that were dangling around the borderline for approval would be able to have their loans successfully approved through him.

‘Everything is proceeding so smoothly that it’s even beyond my expectations.

‘It’s actually very easy to understand. My sales have been low since I haven’t done much in the past few years. However, it’s exactly because I haven’t done anything that I’ve managed to not offend a lot of people and ended up accumulating a lot of favors instead.

‘Therefore, If I used these favors when I needed them, they would be very useful.

‘As for Su Yang, he was within my sights early on, but I gradually forgot about him later on.

‘After all, even though a loan of 50 million yuan was not a small sum, it isn’t to the extent that I need to put down my pride to get it done.

‘Furthermore, Su Yang offended me previously, that makes me not want to help him even more.

‘No matter how bad of a condition he was in, he was still the credit manager of one of the four major state-owned banks. How could a small private enterprise boss like him offend him?’

In the end, just as he was deep in thought, he was called to the director’s office again…

When he entered the director’s office, Director Zhao was still in his suit, looking very busy.

Mr.Shen stood aside with his head lowered, wondering why Director Zhao was looking for him.

This time, Director Zhao did not ask him to wait any longer. As he signed the document, he asked, “I heard you rejected the loan from Jiadian Technology?”

When Mr.Shen heard Director Zhao mention this, his heart skipped a beat as an ominous feeling crept up to him.

However, when faced with Director Zhao’s question, he did not dare lie and could only answer truthfully, “Yes, Director Zhao.”

Director Zhao looked up at him and put down his pen. He crossed his arms on the table and said with a heavy tone, “Mr. Shen, don’t forget that we’re a state enterprise.”

When Mr.Shen heard that, a bolt of lightning flashed across his heart. He suddenly understood…

‘State enterprise, that means it’s an enterprise owned by the state. In a state enterprise, although achieving its sales target is important, the more important task by the country is “you are allowed to choose not to earn money sometimes, but you must complete your mission no matter what”.

‘Sometimes, the profit is right there for the taking, but because the project is at odds with the country’s will, it’s an unobtainable profit in the end.

For example, although some companies might not be profitable, they were part of the country’s high-tech industry. Furthermore, the company was the country’s main core of being competitive in the world, 5G industry for example. In that case, the loan would have to be approved for the company even if it were to be done with little to no interests.

‘Another example, there might be some enterprises that were big and had sufficient mortgages in place such as houses and commercial lots. However, their loan would still have to be rejected or even retrieved within a limited period of time if the company made a move that was against the country’s interests.

‘Therefore, companies like Jiadian Technology who are highly praised by the country are important for the country’s reputation and an important figure for the bank’s growth.

‘This isn’t just a matter of whether his company is profitable or not. It goes up much higher and is related to the country’s future competitiveness.’

When he thought about this, Mr.Shen could not help but feel like he was wrongly accused. He said,

Director Zhao, the thing is… Jiadian Technology isn’t using their own shares as collateral.”

Director Zhao glanced at him. “If you had other assets to put up as collateral, would you use your core assets?”

As he said that, Director Zhao tapped his temples in disappointment and said heavily, “Use your brains!”

Mr.Shen lowered her head and stopped talking.

After a while, he said reluctantly, “What if he borrows the money and doesn’t use it to develop artificial intelligence?”

Director Zhao frowned and asked three questions in a row.

“Does it have anything to do with you?”

“Does it have anything to do with me?”

“Does it affect our bank?”

Then, he said heavily, “We just need to let the higher-ups see our attitude! As for what he develops with the money, that’s up to the higher-ups. What matters is the effort we put into our work.”

“No one would be able to comment if he didn’t come to us to ask for a loan. However, since he’s here now, we mustn’t reject him!”

Director Zhao looked at Mr.Shen and said, “It’s settled. You’re in charge of it. Also, don’t let others find fault in it, I want everything done by the books. I won’t interfere in the matter, but you must get it done beautifully.”

After that, Director Zhao waved his hand. “You’re excused.”

With a heavy heart, Mr.Shen walked out of the director’s office. He was cursing Su Yang inside.

‘Director Zhao’s intentions are clear, I have to settle this matter for the sake of the country. However, I can’t just approve it like that due to the importance of the mission. Even if Su Yang doesn’t have enough collateral, I have to think of a way to get it approved by the books so that no one can find any issues with it.

‘I also understand that Director Zhao will not get involved in this matter. In that case, I will have to compile the documents and get it approved all on my own, I will also need to utilise my favors, so well that no one realizes that there’s something wrong with it.

‘This is simply a test of skill!

‘However, since Director Zhao is pressuring me to get it done, I have no choice but to accept it.’ Hence, this was why he made the phone call to Su Yang.

…

Although Su Yang had already expected to receive Mr.Shen’s call, he was still very excited because this meant that the silver mission was within reach!

Therefore, when Mr.Shen said that she wanted to meet him for a meal, he called Pan Zhaodi without hesitation and asked her to pick him up.

As Su Yang got more excited, things became more urgent, hence Pan Zhaodi drove her Mercedes-Benz directly into the school and stopped at the entrance of the liberal arts faculty.

A luxurious car driving into school grounds was very eye-catching. Plus, it was the day of the new semester class meeting for various faculties which had just ended, hence it attracted a lot of attention.

Some curious passersby could not help but ask around to find out more.

“Whose car is that?”

“I don’t know. It looks like a company car, but it’s a very luxurious one.”

“This looks like the Mercedes-Benz S350, isn’t it? I think it’s close to a million yuan.”

“This must be a company car for a big company.”

Among the people involved in the discussion were not only seniors, but there were also a number of new students as well. It was quite a shock to see such a luxury car on school grounds for the first time.

“Are there so many rich people in our school?”

“Which wealthy family does this car belong to?”

“I’ve never seen such a beautiful car in my hometown.”

Guo Xiaoying and Xue Ya walked out of the car as well. When they saw the car, Guo Xiaoying looked annoyed. She muttered to Xue Ya in a low voice, “Another show off. It’s frustrating. So what if he’s rich?”

Xue Ya adjusted her glasses and said gently, “Maybe it’s something urgent.”

Guo Xiaoying pursed her lips and said, “What could a student possibly have that’s so urgent?”

Just as she was mumbling to herself, Su Yang walked out of the lecture hall.

When she saw Su Yang, Pan Zhaodi hurriedly opened the car door and got up from the driver’s seat.

Then, she picked up the clothes on the seat and unfolded them as she walked toward Su Yang.

Su Yang and Pan Zhaodi met up. Su Yang put on his clothes and said, “We’re going to Zijingang Hotel. It’s a little far so let’s depart earlier.”

Pan Zhaodi nodded. “Yes, Mr. Su.”

She walked to the backseat and opened the car door for Su Yang. She placed her hand on top of the door to prevent Su Yang from hitting his head.

The 2 of them were becoming more and more in sync, Su Yang adjusted his clothes and entered the car.

Pan Zhaodi closed the car door, returned to the driver’s seat, started the car, and left.

This scene of a secretary working together with her boss harmoniously, and the rapid pace of a business elite’s lifestyle affected the surrounding students as well.

‘A race against time, perfect cooperation, luxurious and grand.

‘This is what it truly means to be a business elite!’

There were more girls in the liberal arts faculty, hence this kind of luxurious lifestyle was especially attractive. Therefore, the crowd grew restless for a moment as many girls lowered their voices and discussed with the people around them.

“Is that Su Yang? Wow, I’ve only heard of him, but this is my first time seeing him. He’s really handsome.”

“He really is so handsome. This kind of business elite is really attractive.”

“That’s right, he’s awesome. I never expected for him to be such a person.”

“Did you see that? The female secretary has a really good figure as well. Furthermore, she’s not the skinny type, but the athletic and healthy type.”

The new students were also trying to find out more about Su Yang.

“Who is that?”

“I don’t know.”

“I think his name is Su Yang. He’s an influential figure in school. He founded three companies in just half a semester and is praised by the country.”

“D*mn, is he such an awesome senior?”

Guo Xiaoying stared at Su Yang’s disappearing figure in a daze.

Xue Ya waved her hand in front of her eyes. “Little Ying, Little Ying.”

Ordinary girls would be shy after being reminded like that by their best friend, but Guo Xiaoying was different. She looked at Little Ya and asked an obvious question, “What’s wrong?”

Xue Ya shook her head. “Nothing.”

At that moment, Su Yang was still unaware of the commotion he had caused. He was waiting in the car for his meeting.

‘Whether or not the Silver mission succeeds or fails rides on this meeting!’
