Watching Xu Ying bask in her triumph, everyone wore a bewildered expression.
Wasn't passing the civil service exam your lifelong dream?
You changed your mind that quickly?
At that moment, Qian Sheng was even more bewildered. "Goddess, you want to join Furun Group? That place isn't easy to get into."
"Darling, don't I still have you?" Xu Ying asked with a seductive smile.
Only then did Qian Sheng realize that the goddess hadn't taken a liking to him at all. She was clearly interested in his background.
But it didn't matter. Whatever her reason, as long as he could talk to the goddess, that was enough.
"Okay, I'll contact my uncle right now and have him arrange it for you," Qian Sheng promised.
At that, everyone burst out laughing.
Li Wen's laughter was especially full of meaning. He looked at the two of them as though they were a pair of clowns.
"Getting Wang Kang to arrange it for her probably won't work."
"Why not?"
"Because I've already fired Wang Kang, and he'll probably end up spending the rest of his life in prison."
Qian Sheng blinked blankly. "I don't believe you. I'll call my uncle right now."
Beep, beep, beep...
"Hello, Uncle. I heard you were fired?"
Wang Kang's sobs sounded utterly miserable. "Boohoo... even you know already. Nephew, let me tell you: whatever you do, don't provoke that Xu Yi.
His uncle is Li Wen, the chairman of Furun Group. Damn, with connections that powerful, he was still pretending to be poor.
Your uncle is being prosecuted and will probably go to prison. So I'm planning to flee overseas. The sky is high and the birds can fly free!"
Qian Sheng nodded blankly and woodenly. Only one sentence echoed through his mind: "Xu Yi's uncle is the chairman."
"I've already booked a flight to Southeast Asia. Remember to tell your mother. I won't call her myself.
Oh, right, you must keep my escape strictly confidential. Whatever you do, don't tell anyone. Otherwise, I'm finished."
Everyone exchanged glances as they listened to the conversation. In the end, Xu Yi, being the kindhearted person he was, helpfully reminded him, "Classmate Qian, your speakerphone is still on."

"What do you mean, my speakerphone is still on?" Wang Kang asked warily.
Xu Yi simply snatched the phone away and explained personally, "It's nothing. Your nephew forgot to turn off his speakerphone. But don't worry... we'll definitely keep it a secret."
Negative Emotion Points +200 Negative Emotion Points +200
The viewers in the livestream were laughing so hard they were twitching.
That's right, we'll keep it a secret for you too.
I never thought there'd still be Chun Zhu in this world.
You guys send the comments first. I'm going to call the police.
"Ah!"
"Qian Sheng, you son of a bitch! I'm going to kill you."
Xu Yi shook his head. "Tsk, what a lack of manners. How can you curse at your own sister?"
Negative Emotion Points +100
Beep beep beep~
A cold busy signal came from the other end of the call.
Xu Yi felt somewhat disappointed. He had hung up too soon. Otherwise, he could have squeezed out a few more Emotion Points.
Shock Points +100 Shock Points +100
Xu Ying's expression was no better than Qian Sheng's.
Her voice was practically trembling. "Xu Yi, how do you have a chairman for an uncle?
Damn it! Why didn't you tell me? If you'd told me sooner, we never would have broken up. You're so hypocritical."
Everyone: "???"
Come on, girl. Do you even hear yourself?
Xu Yi couldn't be bothered to respond. He turned his gaze to Qian Sheng.
"That bootlicker..."
Negative Emotion Points +50
"Don't call me a bootlicker! I'm a Battle Wolf."
"Do you still want the strategy guide for pursuing your goddess?"
"Woof! Yes, yes..."
Xu Yi gave him a sly grin. "Not giving it to you!"
"Why not?"
"Because that's illegal."
Qian Sheng: "???"
Negative Emotion Points +50 Negative Emotion Points +100 Negative Emotion Points +150
What the hell, it was that kind of strategy guide?!
That one sentence nearly shattered Qian Sheng's Dao heart.
But Chen Wei's Dao heart had already shattered. He stood alone in the distance, looking like a petrified man.
This experience taught him that someone who looked pure wasn't necessarily pure in reality.
Could flowers wither? No, it was just that things had gotten too dark.
Still, Xu Yi had underestimated the bootlicker's determination. Qian Sheng quickly adjusted his mindset.
"Goddess, even though my uncle is going to prison, it doesn't matter... you still have me. I can support you." Qian Sheng patted his chest and spoke with utmost seriousness.
Xu Ying raised her head dejectedly. "What are you going to support me with? You don't have any connections now!"
"But I can work hard! I can get up in the morning and deliver food, then work at a barbershop. During my lunch break, I can deliver a few more orders. In the evening, I can work at a restaurant."
What kind of Innate Ox-Horse Saint Body was this?
Not enough! You could also work a night shift in the entertainment district at midnight! Work until five in the morning, then sell breakfast until nine. After that, go deliver food again.
There really were a lot of good people in this world.
This life was worth it.
Looking at Qian Sheng's serious expression, Xu Ying couldn't help feeling a few ripples stir in her heart. Then she slowly spoke.
"Idiot!"
Crack~
What had broken?
My Dao heart!
But I'd bought a famous sword in advance.
Qian Sheng: "Goddess, I can work even harder."
Xu Ying rolled her eyes again. "Idiot."
"Could it be that I'm not working hard enough?" Qian Sheng muttered dejectedly.
"Sigh~"
Xu Yi sighed. This bootlicker was too pitiful.
He even felt embarrassed to keep squeezing him for Emotion Points.
Xu Yi lowered his head and glanced at his phone. "Let's go, Uncle Li. I have to go to class."
Okay.
Everyone felt somewhat reluctant to leave.
Although they were all leaders who had held high positions for a long time,
who didn't like watching a good show?
"Xu Yi!"
As Xu Ying was leaving, she called out to Xu Yi once again.
This time, Xu Yi didn't even turn his head.
"Why? Why can't you give me one more chance? You clearly loved me...
I didn't do anything wrong. I just wanted to live a better life."
But Xu Yi acted as if he hadn't heard her. He kept walking and left the cafeteria completely.
All that remained was Xu Ying crouched on the ground, clutching her head and sobbing.
"Don't cry, goddess. It hurts me to see you cry."
"Get lost! Why don't you just drop dead..."
Chen Wei sneered from the side. "Serves you right! A woman who despises the poor and fawns over the rich.
Now that you know one of his uncles is a bureau chief and the other is a chairman, you regret it.
What were you doing before? You embraced love with a utilitarian mindset. A person like you will never deserve true love."
"I don't need true love! I just want to live a good life."
"Goddess, I swear I definitely can..."
Chen Wei kicked Qian Sheng to the ground in disgust. "Where did this bootlicker come from? Go sit at the same table as the dog."
"I'll put you two on Sunba right away."
With everything resolved perfectly, Yu Shu finally let out a sigh of relief.
Next, he had to go back and report on his duties.
Whether he could advance another level would depend on the outcome tonight.
Yu Shu cheerfully looked at Xu Yi. "Xiao Yi, Yu Shu has work to do. I'll be going now. Call me if anything comes up."
"Okay." Xu Yi nodded obediently.
"Chairman, Miss Huang has come to our company to discuss a partnership."
Li Wen froze for several seconds, then looked at Xu Yi reluctantly.
"Xiao Yi, I have to leave too. I'll pick you up for dinner tonight. Then we'll have a proper chat, just the two of us."
"Okay."
After the two prominent figures left, the school leaders crowded around Xu Yi.
They began fussing over him in every possible way, practically ready to make offerings to him.
"Xu Yi, don't worry about the breakup. There are plenty of good girls out there. I have a daughter. What do you think..."
"Go away, go away... Old Zhang, your daughter isn't even as pretty as I am dressed as a woman. Xu Yi, I have a granddaughter who just turned eighteen~"
"Disgusting! What a bunch of old sycophants. Xiao Yi, how about adding me on V..."
Xu Yi: "..."
Xu Yi looked at the group of old men desperately promoting their daughters and granddaughters.
He didn't refuse. He accepted all of them and added them all on V.
These would all be prime leeks for harvesting Emotion Points in the future.
