Pang Zihao, who was singing on stage, saw Xu Yanran sitting next to Ge Dongxu and sharing laughs with him, their comportnt notably intimate. He felt waves of irritation swell within him. After finishing a song, he stepped down and sat next to Xu Yanran, and in the manner of a senior, began to make small talk, inquiring about her wellbeing from ti to ti.
Xu Yanran seed a bit constrained and unnatural. Whenever Pang Zihao asked a question, she simply responded without the casual closeness demonstrated in her earlier conversation with Ge Dongxu, which added to Pang Zihao's irritation.
However, Pang Zihao was quite astute, which was how he beca an officer of the Student Council at the School of Economics back in the day. He managed to keep his irritation to himself. He did occasionally drop ntions of his connections, sharing tidbits about the city governnt and leaders, making it seem as though he was well-acquainted with the city officials.
To soone like Ge Dongxu, a man of stature, Pang Zihao's words sounded sowhat juvenile and amusing, but to the others in the private room, they appeared incredibly impressive. Everyone's gaze towards him was involuntarily tinged with awe and admiration.
Pang Zihao thoroughly enjoyed such gazes, a hint of smugness showing on his face.
"Xu Yanran, Lin Xiaojie, if you need any corporate sponsorship for student council activities in the future, just co to . I'll introduce you, and those companies will certainly give so face. I might not be able to pull in big sums, but getting so small funds should be no problem," Pang Zihao said, glancing at Ge Dongxu sowhat pointedly.
"Yanran, Xiaojie, did you hear that? Aren't you going to toast to Brother Pang? When I was the president of the student council, Brother Pang wasn't nearly as proactive. It's the charm of the campus belle, I guess," Xu Yumo said with a laugh.
Pang Zihao did not deny it but looked at Xu Yanran and Lin Xiaojie with an insinuating gaze.
Seeing this, Xu Yanran and Lin Xiaojie naturally picked up their drinks to toast Pang Zihao.
Seeing both campus belles toasting him, Pang Zihao finally felt sowhat appeased, his face beaming with pride as he drank.
Ge Dongxu, of course, didn't care about these things, as he had never had any particular intentions towards Xu Yanran and Lin Xiaojie.
"Dongxu, you might not sing, but don't just sit and enjoy the show; you should toast to the alumnae present. Let tell you, these ladies were all formidable figures in our School of Economics, and now each one of them is influential in society. No need to ntion Director Xu, who runs her own business. Others, like Chen Man, works in Mingyue Lake District's Finance Bureau, and Su Xiaofen is with the Industrial and Comrcial Bank... When you graduate, you might need their help in finding a job," Pang Zihao declared.
"Yeah, Dongxu, we're Lin Xiaojie's close friends. If you don't keep us satisfied, be careful, we won't let Lin Xiaojie be your friend," Xu Yumo and the others joked.
Ge Dongxu rely smiled and, with great spirit, lifted his glass to toast everyone in turn.
After a round of toasts, except for Xu Yanran and Lin Xiaojie, and four bottles down, Ge Dongxu seed unfazed, but the female students' faces started to redden slightly.
Now the people in the private room beca curious about Ge Dongxu's capacity for alcohol, especially since won, once curious, couldn't rest until they had their answers.
Consequently, there was no need for Pang Zihao to stir up trouble, as several won took the initiative to drink with Ge Dongxu.
When the won invited Ge Dongxu for drinks, it wasn't like with Pang Zihao and the others, who cared about saving face. They often drank half and found excuses to make Ge Dongxu drink up.
Ge Dongxu was not one to argue over trifles with won, nor was it just about the alcohol, so he naturally didn't bother to be nitpicky.
With everyone rowdily urging each other to drink, and soone else taking turns to sing on stage, the atmosphere in the private room actually beca quite lively.
Unbeknownst to him, Ge Dongxu still acted as if nothing was amiss, and the girls in the private room, including Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran, had also drunk a bit too much.
It wasn't long before Xu Yumo, the birthday girl who had drunk the most, couldn't hold out any longer. Pointing at Ge Dongxu, she cursed with a laugh, "You freak!"
Then she hurriedly made her way outside, there was no helping it, with so much beer, her bladder was bursting.
"You freak! Wait for , I'm going too!"
"You freak! too!"
"..." Seeing Xu Yumo leading the way to the restroom, the other won also got up and followed her, each of them couldn't help but curse Ge Dongxu with a laugh before they left, including Xu Yanran and Lin Xiaojie.
Watching a group of girls admit defeat, n like Pang Zihao looked at one another before finally deciding not to provoke Ge Dongxu anymore.
There was no way around it, the guy was truly a freak!
"Hey Lin Xiaojie, your boyfriend's family doesn't own a distillery, do they? He's just too freakish," Xu Yumo asked, clutching her stomach, on their way to the restroom.
"Yumo sis, like I said, it's not even set in stone yet! How could I know so much detail," Lin Xiaojie replied.
"Co on, you've brought him to et us all, and you say it's not set in stone yet? Aren't you deceiving us?" Chen Man retorted with a roll of her eyes.
"Really, it's not set in stone, what reason do I have to hide anything from you?" Lin Xiaojie said.
"Ah, I get it now, you're worried about Pan Sheng'an pestering you, so you deliberately brought soone with you," Su Xiaofen realized suddenly.
"Is that so, Xiaojie? If that's the case, it's not too nice. Actually, apart from Pan Sheng'an's slightly plain appearance, his other qualifications are quite good," Xu Yumo comnted upon hearing this.
"Anyway, I wouldn't take a liking to him," Lin Xiaojie declared.
Although Lin Xiaojie didn't directly answer the question about using Dongxu as a shield, everyone could read between the lines and shook their heads, pointing at her, "Now you've really dug yourself into a hole. If we knew he was a fake, why would we have bothered competing with a college engineering guy!"
Laughing and joking, Xu Yumo and the others entered the restroom.
As they started to co out one by one, a woman dressed in a leopard-print bodycon dress, looking very coquettish and sexy, hurried towards the restroom door. She collided with Xu Yanran and even stepped on her foot, causing Xu Yanran to cry out in pain on the spot with a loud "Ah".
What surprised and angered everyone, however, was that the woman did not apologize but instead pushed Xu Yanran away, pointing and scolding her, "Hey, watch where you're going!"
Xu Yanran was still a student, and seeing the other party dressed so demonically and clearly not an easy person to deal with, she didn't respond and just wanted to bear it and let it go. But Xu Yumo and the others, who had started to mix in society and usually did quite well for themselves, plus a bit of alcohol in their system, couldn't stand this kind of behavior. They imdiately pointed at the woman saying, "It was clearly you who wasn't watching where you were going and bumped into soone, and on top of that, you stepped on my friend's foot. How dare you turn around and bla soone else?"
