120: Chapter 120 should be renamed Harem.
Su Ran looked at the familiar profile picture on her phone screen, feeling a bit dazed.
Sun Yiyao's pure and beautiful face looked exceptionally striking in the group member list.
She took a deep breath, struggling to calm her racing heart.
Then, she looked up, her gaze complex as she stared at Zhang Qi, who was sitting opposite her.
"Brother Qi, is the girl living in 1204 on the west side also your woman?"
Su Ran bit her rosy lips, unable to hold back the question in her heart.
He was actually a bit surprised that Su Ran knew Sun Yiyao lived in the west-side unit.
However, Zhang Qi didn't intend to hide it and nodded calmly.
"That's right, her name is Sun Yiyao, and she is indeed with me."
"How did you know she lives in 1204?"
Hearing Zhang Qi admit it himself, the last shred of hope in Su Ran's heart was completely shattered.
Su Ran turned her phone screen around and handed it to Zhang Qi.
"The four girls living on our twelfth floor ran into each other in the hallway a couple of days ago."
"We felt it was fate, so we started a twelfth-floor neighbor group."
Zhang Qi glanced at the phone screen, looking at the small WeChat group with only four people.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a playful smile.
This was truly a coincidence; these four women had actually started a group.
Looking at Zhang Qi's calm demeanor, the fire of gossip in Su Ran's heart burned fiercely.
She extended a slender finger and pointed at the profile picture for unit 1202 in the group.
"1201 is me, 1203 is Mengmeng, and 1204 is Sun Yiyao."
Su Ran stared intently at Zhang Qi, her tone probing.
"Then, is that particularly beautiful girl in 1202 also your woman?"
Zhang Qi followed Su Ran's finger and glanced at Lin Yuxi's profile picture.
He shook his head slightly, his tone remaining calm.
"Her name is Lin Yuxi; she isn't yet."
Su Ran was a shrewd woman who knew how to read the room.
She instantly picked up on the obvious subtext in Zhang Qi's words.
"Isn't yet"—that meant she definitely would be in the future.
Su Ran couldn't help but chuckle, her beautiful eyes flashing with a cunning light.
"Listening to you, it sounds like you plan to take her down too?"
Zhang Qi was quite frank and didn't feel embarrassed at all.
He nodded naturally, tacitly confirming Su Ran's guess.
Seeing Zhang Qi nod, a wave of bitterness couldn't help but rise in Su Ran's heart.
Although she had already defined her position, seeing her patron being unfaithful still made her feel a bit depressed.
"Brother Qi, your appetite is too big; you won't even let her go."
Su Ran pursed her lips, her tone carrying a hint of sourness.
"But I think it's probably unlikely you'll be able to take her down."
Zhang Qi raised an eyebrow, looking at Su Ran with interest.
"Oh? Why do you think that?"
Su Ran took back her phone and began to analyze it for Zhang Qi seriously.
"I've scrolled past her short videos; she's a transformation influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers."
"Influencers of this level don't have low income when they take on advertisements."
"She doesn't lack money at all."
Su Ran spoke clearly and logically; she had obviously done her homework.
"And when we met in the hallway the other day, she seemed very cold and aloof."
"No matter how rich you are, I'm afraid this tactic might not work."
After listening to Su Ran's long-winded analysis, Zhang Qi couldn't help but laugh.
First of all, Su Ran was wrong about the first point.
Lin Yuxi rarely takes ads, so her income isn't actually that high.
Of course, she isn't someone who can be swayed just by throwing money at her.
But Zhang Qi wasn't just rich...
Furthermore, Lin Yuxi wasn't cold or aloof; she had severe social anxiety.
"Is that so? Then let's wait and see."
Looking at Zhang Qi's confident demeanor, Su Ran couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Did Zhang Qi really have some special method to take down that cold neighbor?
Just as Su Ran was secretly muttering to herself,
Zhang Qi's phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated.
The screen lit up, and a WeChat message notification popped up.
Zhang Qi picked up his phone, unlocked it, and opened WeChat.
Coincidentally, the person who sent the message was none other than Lin Yuxi, whom they had just been discussing.
Lin Yuxi first sent a clear screenshot of the data.
The screenshot showed the female swordsman transformation video that Zhang Qi helped her film yesterday.
The number of likes and comments on it was shockingly high; the data had truly exploded.
Immediately after, Lin Yuxi sent a long string of sincere text messages.
"Zhang Qi, the video's data has exploded, it shot straight to the hot list."
"My follower count grew by tens of thousands overnight; this is all thanks to you."
"The equipment you bought and your skills are simply amazing."
"Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to a meal to properly thank you."
He had just told Su Ran to wait and see, and this opportunity to slap her in the face arrived immediately.
Zhang Qi didn't reply to Lin Yuxi immediately; instead, he turned his phone screen around.
He shoved the phone in front of Su Ran, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"You just said she was cold, didn't lack money, and I couldn't take her down?"
"Take a look at what this cold, big influencer sent me."
When she saw the screenshot and the proactive text below clearly,
Su Ran froze instantly, her beautiful eyes widening into circles.
She just felt her face stinging a bit.
This slap in the face came too quickly; it was simply catching her off guard.
She had just been confidently analyzing to Zhang Qi that it was impossible for Lin Yuxi to be taken down.
Yet, only a few minutes later, the person herself had proactively sent a message to invite him.
It clearly showed an extremely obvious sense of flattery and admiration.
"This, how is this possible?"
She had assumed that Lin Yuxi earned a lot and had a cold personality, so Zhang Qi should be hard-pressed to win her over.
But who could have imagined that now, it was actually Lin Yuxi who was proactively asking to treat Zhang Qi to a meal.
She opened the twelfth-floor neighbor group on her phone again.
Looking at the profile pictures of the four top-tier beauties in the group, all with off-the-charts looks.
Su Ran only felt a strong sense of helplessness rising in her heart.
She didn't expect that the ridiculous thought she had in the elevator yesterday would actually come true.
The four top-tier beautiful neighbors living on this floor had all been swept up by Zhang Qi.
Although Lin Yuxi wasn't Zhang Qi's woman yet,
as a clear-headed and shrewd woman, Su Ran knew it like the back of her hand.
She knew very clearly that a beautiful woman who was usually cold and aloof,
suddenly taking the initiative to lower her status and sending a message to invite a man to dinner,
what that really meant was as obvious as it could be.
It meant that at the very least, Lin Yuxi had good feelings toward Zhang Qi.
With Zhang Qi's immense strength, taking down this influencer was only a matter of time.
Su Ran sighed helplessly, completely abandoning the little bit of competitive spirit in her heart.
"Brother Qi, you win. I really admire you."
There was a hint of obvious resentment in Su Ran's tone, but more of it was a resigned obedience.
"It seems that our twelfth floor at Yunduan No. 1 might as well just be renamed your harem."
