Su Yueling fled in humiliation after being mocked mercilessly by Sun Zhiming.
However, someone at the scene had secretly recorded the entire incident on their phone!
The person who had recorded the video had originally only wanted to capture Su Yueling approaching Sun Zhiming and expose the gossip. Who could have known that the gossip would snowball into this?
Class 3-6's anonymous Penguin chat group.
'Polar Bear: Sun Zhiming mocks Su Yueling.MP4'
'Polar Bear: To prevent anyone with ulterior motives from identifying the person filming through the video angle, I deliberately zoomed in during editing. Please forgive me.'
'Polar Bear: But the video is amazing!'
'Prairie Wolf: I was there. It really was amazing!'
'Jungle Fox: I've disliked that bitch Su Yueling for ages. This feels so good!'
'Ice Sea Whale: I don't like Sun Zhiming either, but this time, every word he said hit home. He absolutely slaughtered that green tea bitch Su Yueling. It feels so damn good!'
'Spotted Dog: Is anyone in the group friends with An Wuyang?'
'Spotted Dog: How could we not send this kind of video to An Wuyang?'
'Ice Sea Whale: Holy crap?'
'Ice Sea Whale: Your idea is seriously twisted, but I love it!'
'Jungle Fox: It's a little twisted, but why am I kind of looking forward to it?'
'Prairie Wolf: An Wuyang must be loving this, right?'
'Prairie Wolf: I suddenly feel like Sun Zhiming and An Wuyang have a bit of a love-hate relationship?'
'Polar Bear: Obsessing over everything will only hurt you!'
'Spotted Dog: An Wuyang is in the WeChat class group. Is there a brave warrior who'll forward this video to the class group?'
'Ice Sea Whale: Doggie, show some courage!'
'Jungle Fox: I can't be brave at all. Whether it's An Wuyang or Sun Zhiming, both their families have extensive connections. How could we afford to offend them?'
While the anonymous Penguin group was still gossiping, Yang Jing had already forwarded the video to An Wuyang. He and An Wuyang were good friends, so of course he could send it directly.
'Yang Jing: Sun Zhiming mocks Su Yueling.MP4'
Yang Jing nudged An Wuyang and then acted as if nothing had happened.
'Yang Jing: Bro, hurry and watch this video. It feels so good, seriously, it's awesome!'
'Yang Jing: That green tea bitch Su Yueling got absolutely slaughtered by Sun Zhiming!'
'An Wuyang: I'll watch it first.'
An Wuyang immediately watched the video Yang Jing had sent him. He watched it from beginning to end. Even though he and Sun Zhiming had a poor relationship, he had to admit that Sun Zhiming had a point.
After all, Sun Zhiming and he belonged to the same social circle, and their understanding was on the same level. Su Yueling really had been overthinking things—and she was also rather stupid.
"But after hearing that bastard's advanced theory about Later, I don't think I can listen to the song 'Later' anymore. It feels kind of weird now." An Wuyang muttered to himself.
'Ding!'
'Congratulations, Host, on completing the random event: She's Panicking!'
'A sudden critical hit. She's really panicking now!'
'The Host handled his relationship with his ex-girlfriend perfectly. His ex-girlfriend suffered a crushing defeat!'
'Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a random blind-box draw.'
'Since the Host resolved his ex-girlfriend's trouble effortlessly by using the opponent's own power—sitting at home while the disaster was neutralized—the reward tier has been specially upgraded to the Career Development Gift Pack.'
The Happy Life System issued a notification in An Wuyang's mind.
An Wuyang raised an eyebrow. This works too?
He clearly hadn't even done anything yet, had he?
More importantly, because he had done nothing and Sun Zhiming had inadvertently solved the problem, the reward tier had actually been upgraded. That was incredible!
At that moment, An Wuyang suddenly felt that Sun Zhiming calling him 'bro' wasn't so unacceptable after all.
'Open the Career Development Gift Pack.' An Wuyang issued the command in his mind.
'Ding!'
'Congratulations, Host, on opening the Career Development Gift Pack. Long-term mission unlocked: Hope Father Becomes Dragon!'
'Since the Host's College Entrance Examination score is below 700 points, he cannot enter a top-tier university or master innovative drug research skills. He can only place his hopes in the previous generation.'
'The Host's father, An Huchun, and the research and development center of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group have spent the past seven years innovating and researching. Based on Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil, they have developed an entirely new essential-oil beauty and skincare product with the effects of eliminating dullness and restoring fair, radiant skin.'
'Special note: This reward will be completed jointly by An Huchun and the research and development center of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group.'
An Wuyang examined the corresponding information in his mind. He really wanted to ask the Happy Life System: Are you even being polite?
What did it mean that he was 'unable to master innovative drug research skills'?
Was that a roundabout way of discriminating against his educational background?
What was wrong with a second-tier university?
Were students from second-tier universities not people?
Besides, An Huchun would develop the product while An Wuyang would study marketing. That was called complementary strengths, wasn't it?
'Is this Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil beauty and skincare product really effective?' An Wuyang asked the Happy Life System in his mind.
If this Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil beauty and skincare product really could eliminate dullness and restore fair, radiant skin, Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group could completely come back from the dead with this single product.
'Please rest assured, Host. The effects of the Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil beauty and skincare product are genuine and effective. The Host can obtain a more professional understanding of the relevant details through An Huchun.' The Happy Life System sent back a response.
That was wonderful!
An Wuyang suppressed his excitement, as well as the urge to contact An Huchun immediately. He patiently waited for An Huchun to reveal the news himself.
After all, according to normal logic, An Wuyang shouldn't know about the Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil beauty and skincare product yet.
It was nearly nine in the evening.
An Huchun and Li Wenya returned together. Both of them looked exhausted, but the fatigue could not conceal the joy on An Huchun's face or the smile in his eyes.
It looks like this is about the Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil beauty and skincare product... An Wuyang guessed.
It should be that the Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil beauty and skincare product passed the comparative trial. An Wuyang made a further guess.
When An Huchun saw An Wuyang in the living room, he took the initiative to speak. "The group's layoffs have been finalized. The employees have already been notified, and the severance compensation plan has also been announced."
Li Wenya chimed in, "Your father announced it today, but there were still some objections."
"Huh?" An Wuyang was stunned!
He had seen the severance compensation plan. Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group's severance compensation could be described as the best of the best. It had offered an unprecedented compensation coefficient of 2N+2.
Yet even a severance compensation plan of this level had drawn objections?
Could it be that the employees of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group truly had no conscience?
An Wuyang found it absurd!
An Huchun quickly added, "Your mother is messing with you. The severance compensation plan we offered is excellent, and most of the employees on the layoff list are very satisfied."
"Then what were the objections about?" An Wuyang asked in return.
"Some old comrades objected because they felt that the severance compensation we offered was too generous. It would definitely make the group's operations difficult and might even drag the group down, so they hoped we would lower the severance compensation standards somewhat." An Huchun spoke with relief, his tone carrying a hint of pride.
