"Zhu Fei, Teacher Wan asked to inquire if you plan on participating in our school’s exchange activity to Harvard Business School in the United States next month?"
As soon as the call connected, a female voice that sounded quite familiar to Zhu Fei ca through.
After a brief mont of thought, he rembered the owner of the familiar voice was none other than Dong Miaoxuan, the beauty of the Traditional Chinese dicine departnt at Donglin University, whom he t when he first entered the university.
"Hey, hey, I’m talking about you, Zhu Fei. It’s been a while since we last t; you couldn’t have forgotten about already, right?"
Seeing that Zhu Fei hadn’t responded in a tily manner, Dong Miaoxuan on the phone beca impatient and couldn’t help but chide him slightly annoyed.
"Cough, cough..."
Hearing Dong Miaoxuan’s sowhat teasing words, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but feign a cough before finally laughing and saying,
"I an, Dong the Great Beauty, after all, we’ve shared als together. I couldn’t possibly forget you."
After so brief pleasantries with Dong Miaoxuan, Zhu Fei turned the conversation and asked, "By the way, Senior Sister Dong, about that exchange activity you ntioned before, what exactly is it all about?"
Normally, Zhu Fei wouldn’t have shown any interest in such school activities.
But this ti, the situation was a bit different. Just now, he heard from Dong Miaoxuan that their destination for this activity was Harvard College in the United States.
And isn’t that where Pan Tingting is currently studying?
Having not seen that girl for a long while, Zhu Fei was pondering whether he should take advantage of this inter-school exchange to go and see her, perhaps even surprise her.
"Well, how about this, Zhu Fei? Why don’t you co to school later, and we can discuss the details then? Most importantly, if you want to participate, I can also help you sign up."
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s earlier question, Dong Miaoxuan took a brief pause before making the suggestion.
"Oh really..."
Zhu Fei was a bit hesitant since, according to his original plan, he was going to focus on cultivation.
After all, he had just killed Pei Xiaotian and others. Although it was unlikely that the Zhenwu Sect would confront him in the short term, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
If the Zhenwu Sect decided to seek revenge, with his current level of cultivation, he could perhaps hold his own against a Martial Artist at the Gang Force Fourth Layer.
But if soone beyond the Fourth Layer ca after him, then he would truly be unable to resist.
So in reality, Zhu Fei was under a fair bit of pressure.
However, he also understood that Dong Miaoxuan’s suggestion was indeed correct. If he really planned to join this exchange, the procedures for registration were inevitable.
After careful consideration, he decided it wouldn’t take too much ti and eventually agreed to go.
After all, his cultivation wouldn’t suffer from this short interval, and with the resources he currently possessed, he believed that he could advance his cultivation to Qi Refining Perfection before he went to the United States.
At that ti, he would first go to Zhenwu Mountain and slay the father of Pei Xiaotian, the Zhenwu Sect Master.
This way, the grudge between him and the Zhenwu Sect would be brought to a close.
...
"What’s the matter, Zhu Fei? Do you need to go to school?"
Right as Zhu Fei hung up the phone with Dong Miaoxuan, Shen Yuyan happened to co downstairs and inquired with her beautiful eyes looking at him.
"Yes, there’s an exchange activity next month to Harvard College in the United States. I plan on participating, so I need to go there and register."
Zhu Fei didn’t hide anything from Shen Yuyan’s inquiry nor did he intend to, and he spoke directly.
"Oh, if I’m not mistaken, you’re usually not interested in these kinds of activities, right?"
Shen Yuyan’s eyes glead with a mischievous smile as she playfully addressed Zhu Fei.
"Cough, cough..."
Zhu Fei felt a bit ashad, he truly hadn’t anticipated that Shen Yuyan would understand him so well. How could he have forgotten about that?
However, he couldn’t quite share with Shen Yuyan the real purpose of his trip to the United States, at least not for now.
"Hehe, I was just kidding, look at you."
Shen Yuyan lightly covered her lips, her beautiful eyes imbued with a hint of laughter. She then continued,
"Alright, it’s getting late, I should head over to the company. Let’s stick to the usual routine: I’ll drive you to school first, then go to the company. It’s on the way anyway."
Having said that, Shen Yuyan took the lead, striding toward the apartnt’s main entrance.
...
"Zhu Fei, co pick up at my company tonight, okay? Then we’ll go ho together."
In the car, after driving for a while, Shen Yuyan suddenly suggested to Zhu Fei.
"That... Picking you up is no problem, but as for going to your house, let’s not. I plan to buy a house after I leave school later; I’ll live there from now on."
Hearing Shen Yuyan’s proposition made Zhu Fei suddenly realize that he didn’t have a place of his own to live in Donglin City.
After all, constantly living at Shen Yuyan’s ho—leaving aside whether it’s appropriate—was inconvenient for his cultivation.
Cultivation is not sothing to be taken lightly.
It might not be a big deal for Shen Yuyan, but if Aunt Wang or soone else happened to see it, it would cause quite so trouble.
As for staying in the school dormitory? He joked about that notion: since he had set foot in the school, he had never visited his assigned dormitory, much less considered living there.
And now, with Tang ngyun no longer at Donglin University, his reason for attending the university was naturally gone.
For the current Zhu Fei, school and student life were essentially just for show, a nominal identity, sothing he didn’t care about at all.
"You want to buy a house?"
Shen Yuyan was initially taken aback upon hearing Zhu Fei’s response but then, as if she had understood sothing, she nodded and said,
"That’s fine, after all, you’re not an ordinary person. If you want to do sothing on your own, I don’t mind. But it wouldn’t be good if Aunt Wang saw it."
After a mont of thought, Shen Yuyan continued, "How about this: once you’re done with things at school, give a call. I’ll go look at houses with you."
"Besides, I’ve saved a bit of money over the years. It’s not a lot, but I can take out a few hundred thousand. That should be enough for the down paynt on a hundred-square-ter house."
Listening to what Shen Yuyan ant, she was planning to buy Zhu Fei a house.
This made Zhu Fei warm inside.
He was well aware that despite how lightly Shen Yuyan spoke, the few hundred thousand she ntioned likely represented all of her savings.
Although she was the CEO of Shen Corporation, the company’s operations had been in the red for years.
Though the company’s situation had improved with her efforts, there hadn’t been much ti for Shen Yuyan to truly save a significant amount.
Given Shen Corporation’s past circumstances, even though Shen Yuyan held nearly forty percent of the company’s shares, there was absolutely no chance of dividends.
Under such circumstances, Shen Yuyan decided, almost without a second thought, to use all her savings to buy Zhu Fei a house. To say Zhu Fei wasn’t touched would clearly be a lie.
Now, he felt more and more the extent of Shen Yuyan’s kindness toward him.
"Hehe, Sister Shen, let handle the house buying. Don’t worry, I have money."
After a brief contemplation, Zhu Fei ultimately shook his head and replied with a smile.
"You have money yourself?"
Hearing Zhu Fei’s answer, Shen Yuyan’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but regard him with a trace of skepticism, tinged with a hint of surprise.
