The students' shock and speculation

"He Li, I spoke a little too loudly."

"I was also out of line, I shouldn't have said that."

Li Lingjie's tone was stiff, and his molars were almost ground to dust.

He truly couldn't understand why Liu Yuyan was treating He Li even better than before, despite He Li having made her lose face several times and their relationship growing colder.

What the hell kind of logic was this?

Li Lingjie couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think too deeply about it.

As a Simp, he had a truth he didn't want to face.

That was the pain in the hearts of thousands upon thousands of Simps!

No Simp was willing to face it.

Unless absolutely forced!

He Li smiled at Li Lingjie. Although he couldn't be bothered with these people, to be honest, it felt pretty good when someone who was just haughty and dismissive suddenly bowed their head and apologized!

But this didn't mean he would give these people a good look.

"No need for apologies. I wasn't here for your party to begin with; you all misunderstood."

As soon as he said this, many people secretly curled their lips... "Heh, keep pretending, just keep pretending!"

"You're a poor student, if you're not here to crash a birthday party for free food and drinks, are you here to spend money or something?"

"If you admitted it generously, perhaps I would respect you as a man."

"But now, you're still putting on airs?"

"Hmph, if it weren't for Liu Yuyan protecting him, who the hell would bother with you?"

"Why didn't I ever notice He Li was this kind of person before?"

...Although everyone didn't voice their thoughts.

Their expressions of disdain clearly showed what they were thinking to anyone with eyes.

However, He Li truly didn't care. He just turned his head to the Front Desk Lady and asked, "A heaven-character private room, I have a reservation. My name is He Li. The person who made the reservation should have told you!"

The front desk immediately checked the records upon hearing this.

A few seconds later, she looked up with a professional smile.

"Yes, there is. Three people, please go up to the ninth floor and turn left!"

"Thank you!" After a simple thank you, He Li left.

Watching the three of them go upstairs, the others were dumbfounded.

"Holy crap? He... he really had a reservation?"

"My goodness, and it's a heaven-character private room?"

"What does that mean? Is this heaven-character private room really that awesome?"

"Awesome? Don't you know, the heaven-character private room can only be reserved by exclusive members?"

"Those people are either high officials and nobles or billionaires!"

"You ask me if it's awesome? Are you kidding me?"

"Damn, does that mean he's even more impressive than Li Lingjie?"

...The classmates had completely exploded, and Li Lingjie, frozen in place, was also full of shock and disbelief.

He Li was clearly just a poor student.

Even if he got lucky selling umbrellas and made tens of thousands of yuan before.

It would still be impossible for him to enter a heaven-character private room.

After all, even Li Lingjie's father couldn't get in!

But He Li went in anyway. From what he just said, it seemed like those rich and powerful people invited him. Li Lingjie wanted to know what kind of incredible stroke of luck He Li had encountered... that allowed him to get acquainted with important figures and enter the heaven-character private room.

He snapped back to reality, approached the front desk, and tentatively asked, "May I ask who invited those three people just now?"

"Or who are the people in the heaven-character private room?"

The Front Desk Lady glanced at him.

"What? Do you want to cause trouble for them?"

She had seen everything that happened at the entrance just now.

She felt it necessary to remind this blockhead, after all, the people in the heaven-character private room were all important figures. This blockhead would definitely come to a bad end, and she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she didn't warn him.

"We cannot disclose customer information, but they are high-level executives from Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry, you cannot afford to offend them."

"I advise you to put away your thoughts."

"Otherwise, you won't end well!"

After she finished speaking, Li Lingjie's face turned pale.

Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry? Good heavens, a long-established enterprise.

Their business spanned across the country, and their influence was immense. They could crush his family with just one finger.

"This is truly unbelievable!"

"How did He Li get involved with such people?"

Li Lingjie couldn't understand and didn't want to think about it anymore.

His initial malicious thoughts about He Li were instantly extinguished, and the others who had pricked up their ears to eavesdrop on the Front Desk Lady's voice were also shocked.

"Holy cow, He Li has really made it big!"

"Hooking up with Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry, his future is limitless!"

"I'm so damn stupid, I shouldn't have mocked him just now."

"May all the gods and buddhas in heaven bless Brother Li not to hold a grudge!"

"Oh no, I missed an opportunity to change my destiny!"

"If I had spoken up for He Li just now, maybe I would have had a chance to get into Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry through him!"

...The classmates were either afraid of retaliation or beating their chests in regret for not speaking up for He Li and missing a chance to get rich. Some had even started racking their brains to figure out how to curry favor with He Li.

And Liu Yuyan's eyes sparkled with brilliance.

She had no idea that He Li had quietly managed to lean on the colossal tree that was Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry.

This made her even more reluctant to let go of He Li!

"Although He Li said he wasn't here for the birthday party."

"However, that must be his excuse!"

"After all, how could it be such a coincidence? I'm having my birthday party here, and he just happens to be here for business?"

"I think he deliberately chose this place."

"He was originally worried about me and wanted to see me."

"He just couldn't admit it due to pride."

"Hmm, it must be like this, especially since those idiots like Li Lingjie were mocking him just now."

"No one would admit they came for a birthday party in that situation."

Thinking this, she smiled: "No matter what, He Li still has feelings for me. After this, if I perform a little better, I should still be able to win him back."

"He's a hot commodity now, I absolutely cannot let Miao Xiaoyu snatch him away from me!"

"Oh, and I need to find a chance to get rid of Li Lingjie."

"This idiot is too annoying to have around!"

"What if He Li misunderstands again in the future?"

With these thoughts in her mind, Liu Yuyan adjusted her mood and happily invited everyone into the private room to start the party. However, because of the previous events, everyone was distracted.

This birthday party also turned out to be unsatisfactory.

Liu Yuyan blamed everything on Li Lingjie!

The poor Simp once again took the fall.

But this had nothing to do with He Li.

At this moment, in the heaven-character private room, he finally met the person in charge sent by Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry for negotiations.

That person was Li Wu, who looked like he had just graduated from university.

He was refined and spoke politely.

But why did his eyes keep glancing at Miao Xiaoyu?

Could this guy have feelings for Miao Xiaoyu? He Li was displeased, so he changed seats and shielded Miao Xiaoyu behind him, asserting his ownership. Miao Xiaoyu, sensing He Li's thoughts, narrowed her eyes and smiled radiantly.

Li Wu was startled, realizing that He Li had misunderstood him.

He didn't have any feelings for Miao Xiaoyu.

He was just shocked because he had seen Miao Xiaoyu before and recognized her as the daughter of Shu Prefecture's richest man. Her prominent identity suddenly appearing here would shock any insider.

Furthermore, Miao Xiaoyu came today to accompany He Li to discuss the batch of problematic medicines... Li Wu felt even more uneasy.

Although their company had already investigated yesterday and found that this batch of medicine was caused by a rival company secretly tampering with it, since Miao Xiaoyu was here, who knew if she would voice any opinions on the matter.

As the richest man's daughter, a single phone call from her could cause Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry heavy losses.

This made it impossible for Li Wu not to take it seriously!

This explained why, when he was talking to He Li, he would secretly glance at Miao Xiaoyu, cautiously observing her expression while responding to He Li. As a result, his careful and cautious actions were misunderstood by He Li... However, the subsequent negotiations went smoothly.

After all, the matter was simple; He Li only needed to provide the information he knew and the batch of medicines he bought.

Li Wu was responsible for giving him fifteen times the repurchase price!

Why fifteen times?

The extra five times was because He Li was displeased with him for peeking at Miao Xiaoyu.

But Li Wu didn't dare to have the slightest complaint. He was even overjoyed, believing he had escaped a calamity and hadn't angered Miao Xiaoyu. Before leaving, he thoughtfully gave He Li a card.

It seemed to be a Guanghui Hotel Diamond Membership Card. Although he didn't know what it was for, he might as well keep it for now.

What if he needed it someday? Right?
