Zhang Yuhan and Song Lan's plan

Wasn't He Li just a disgusting Programmer?

Looking at his clothes, he doesn't seem like a rich person either!

How could he know Young Master Zhou Qingming of Ye City? And Zhou Qingming was so respectful and humble in front of him... Does that Programmer have some heaven-defying background? Wouldn't latching onto him be better than latching onto Zhou Qingming?

Zhang Yuhan stood rooted to the spot, her eyes flickering as she stared at He Li.

The others in the venue were also constantly discussing... "Shocking, Young Master Zhou has someone he wants to curry favor with too!"

"What is that handsome guy's identity and background? Even Zhou Qingming is acting so humble in front of him!"

"Who cares, he's definitely not someone we can afford to offend."

"That's easy to say, but he doesn't look like a big shot to me..."

"Give it a rest, what do you know? Don't you know that rich people nowadays love to disguise themselves as ordinary folks to experience life? That handsome guy might just be a young master from an affluent family hiding his identity!"

"Wait a minute, why does he look familiar..."

"Holy crap, hold on, isn't that the Top Scholar?"

...Ye City is only so big, and He Li, as the Top Scholar who had appeared on TV, had been seen by quite a few people. Therefore, it wasn't long before someone recognized him, sparking more discussion.

Everyone was curious about the true origins of this Top Scholar, who appeared to come from an ordinary family!

Simultaneously, as the discussions spread... the game He Li made also started to "heat up"!

After all, when He Li was interviewed previously, he had mentioned that he planned to make a game and enter the gaming industry.

Now, recalling the words He Li had said back then... many people became interested in the game He Li was making.

More and more people gathered in front of his booth.

The three of them—He Li and the others—were quite happy about this situation!

"This Zhou Qingming actually did me a favor."

He Li secretly chuckled as he glanced at the fawning Zhou Qingming.

Although, as he predicted, the things he said during his previous interview would gradually attract more people, Zhou Qingming's arrival instantly made his spot the focus of the entire venue.

He brought more attention to himself, and no matter what others thought of the game afterward,

the reputation of his game would spread!

Once it gained fame, after the game officially launched... He Li's game would enter a crazy money-sucking mode.

Thinking of this, he patted Zhou Qingming's shoulder.

"When this is over, let's go grab a meal together!"

"Huh?" Zhou Qingming was stunned upon hearing this.

He Li frowned: "Don't want to go? Then forget it..."

Hearing this, the stunned Zhou Qingming snapped back to reality.

"No, no, no, I'll go, I want to go!" He hurriedly replied, his tone filled with excitement.

Some time ago, after meeting He Li and Miao Xiaoyu, he went home and told his father about Miao Xiaoyu. At that time, his father gave him a strict order that he must try every means possible to curry favor with He Li.

Miao Xiaoyu's background was too big for them to handle.

But holding onto He Li was just as good!

As long as He Li spoke well of the Zhou Family in front of Miao Xiaoyu,

the Zhou Family might receive an unexpected benefit sometime.

Even if there was no benefit, they wouldn't suffer a loss!

After all, if He Li and Miao Xiaoyu got together, the Zhou Family simply having this connection would be a huge opportunity. It was precisely because of this that Zhou Qingming felt excited about He Li's sudden invitation.

Because He Li was willing to invite him to eat, it also meant He Li didn't dislike him and was willing to associate with him.

How could this not excite him?

He even started imagining how his father would reward him after he went home and told him about this.

He Li shook his head, looking at his foolish grin.

Wu Gang next to him was suspicious: "Brother Li!"

"You really are my brother, what kind of skill do you have? How did you secretly get to know someone like Zhou Qingming?"

"And... you even made him treat you with such respect?"

He scrutinized He Li as if seeing him for the first time.

His expression seemed to want to pierce through He Li's secrets.

The latter curled his lip: "Just a small opportunity!"

"Alright, don't ask too many questions. Pay more attention to the surroundings."

"If those who are testing the game find any new problems, remember to help record them!"

"Got it!" Wu Gang nodded helplessly upon hearing this.

As a good brother for many years, if He Li had a secret he didn't want to reveal, Wu Gang wouldn't be foolish enough to pry. It was enough for him to know that He Li wouldn't harm him; there was no need to ask further... At this moment, not far away... "Ai, Yu Han, we're screwed now!"

"That disgusting man actually has a connection with Young Master Zhou."

"If he says a few bad things to Young Master Zhou..."

"Then it will be truly difficult for you to get close to Young Master Zhou!"

Looking at the crowded booth ahead, Song Lan sighed.

She regretted it a little; if she had known earlier that He Li had a relationship with Zhou Qingming, she definitely wouldn't have antagonized him. Now that they had left a bad impression, it would be difficult to reconcile.

Song Lan had originally hoped that if her best friend Zhang Yuhan latched onto Zhou Qingming, she could benefit from the association too.

Now, her beautiful dream was completely shattered!

However, Zhang Yuhan shook her head as she listened to her words.

"Who said I still want to get close to Zhou Qingming?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Song Lan was stunned.

Zhang Yuhan narrowed her eyes and said, "Everyone else says that Top Scholar comes from an ordinary family, but if that were true, there's no way Zhou Qingming would be this humble toward him, right?"

"In my opinion, that person definitely has a hidden background that others simply don't know about."

"His status is definitely higher than Zhou Qingming's!"

"If I latch onto him, won't that be better than latching onto Zhou Qingming?"

Song Lan thought about it and felt that it made sense.

But she couldn't help but say, "But... we already left a bad impression on him earlier."

"Besides, that person has a girlfriend."

"And her looks..." Song Lan didn't continue speaking.

Zhang Yuhan certainly knew that Song Lan wanted to say that Miao Xiaoyu was prettier than her, and she wouldn't have much chance of stealing He Li away. However, a confident smile appeared on Zhang Yuhan's face.

"I admit, that girl is very beautiful."

"But I'm not much worse than her!"

"Moreover, what if I actively pursue that Top Scholar?"

"Although what happened between us before was a misunderstanding, who knows if he secretly had intentions of hooking up with me?"

"Men always want what's in the pot even when they have what's in the bowl!"

"Him saying it was a misunderstanding earlier might just have been an excuse."

"After all, he still had to put on a show in front of his girlfriend."

"Since he was interested in hooking up with me, if I use my looks and take the initiative, why wouldn't he be tempted?"

"Is there a wolf that wouldn't eat a sheep delivered right to its door?"

A hint of disdain subtly showed in Zhang Yuhan's eyes.

She looked as if she had completely seen through all men. Song Lan immediately felt that there was some truth to this. Men are all big pig trotters, and thinking carefully, if a beauty like Zhang Yuhan actively presented herself... she also didn't believe He Li wouldn't be tempted.

"If Yu Han really manages to hook up with that guy,"

"then can't I benefit too? Can't I rely on Yu Han and her man's connections to find a powerful Second-generation rich person to marry? If so, this girl won't have to worry about the rest of her life."

The more Song Lan thought about it, the happier she became.

"So what should we do? Yu Han, tell me!"

"As your best friend, I will help you with all my might."

Her face was full of joy and determination.

Zhang Yuhan nodded and said, "We don't actually need to do anything specific; we just need to watch them."

"When he and his girlfriend separate—to go to the restroom or for something else—I will go over and actively strike up a conversation with him. Without his girlfriend watching, he will expose his true nature and actively ask for my phone number."

Her words were full of confidence, as if He Li was bound to be tempted the moment she made her move.

"Later, just help me distract his girlfriend."

"Lest she come over and bother us too soon!"

Hearing this, Song Lan smiled and made an OK gesture...
