74: Chapter 74 Dinner Invitation
In everyone's imagination, after being rejected by Lin Yi, Su Ming should have been furious with embarrassment.
After all, having lost face in front of so many people, the Student Union President would surely feel dissatisfied.
But unexpectedly, not only did Su Ming not show any signs of dissatisfaction, but there was even a trace of apology on her face.
Su Ming realized that Lin Yi probably had a lot of investment-related matters to handle on a regular basis.
"Sorry, I forgot. That was abrupt of me."
"You must be very busy usually."
"If you are willing, I can actually help you share some of the burden."
"Although I don't know how to do anything yet, I can learn."
"Don't worry, I learn very quickly!"
Su Ming's attitude made the jaws of those around her drop to the floor.
Wait, what is actually going on?
Did Lin Yi cast a spell on Su Ming?
What could a freshman possibly be busy with? They probably don't even have ten classes a week in total.
And in all these years of university, who has ever seen Su Ming act so subserviently?
Even saying things like "If you are willing" and "Although I don't know how to do anything."
Good heavens, this is the Student Union President!
Last year, she single-handedly secured the sponsorship for the school sports meet.
This kind of work capability is simply top-tier among students, okay!
It makes no sense!
It makes absolutely no sense!
The eyes of the people around them as they looked at Lin Yi gradually grew sour with envy.
The goddess who was usually unreachable in their eyes was behaving like a little follower in front of Lin Yi.
"Lin Yi!" From afar, another voice called out to Lin Yi.
Li Tong ran over from not far away.
Her proud curves swayed with every step as she ran.
"Senior Sister Su, you're here too."
Li Tong ran up to Lin Yi and pretended to be surprised as she greeted Su Ming. In reality, she had seen Su Ming talking to Lin Yi long ago.
Combined with what Yang Xiaoli said at noon—that something might have happened between Su Ming and Lin Yi—Li Tong felt very uneasy.
Didn't Su Ming keep saying she was getting engaged? Besides, she had already hinted to Su Ming that she liked Lin Yi.
Why was Su Ming still trying to insert herself into this?
Before the matter was cleared up, Li Tong did not want Lin Yi and Su Ming to get any closer.
Thinking of this, Li Tong felt a bit regretful.
If she had known, she wouldn't have invited Su Ming to her birthday party.
Not only did she steal the spotlight, but she even wanted to steal her man.
No wonder the girls in school didn't like hanging out with Su Ming.
This woman was too much of a threat!
"Tongtong, were you looking for me?" Lin Yi asked, looking at Li Tong.
"I want to invite you to dinner. Are you free?" Li Tong didn't bother to hide it anymore. The girls present were all likely interested in Lin Yi.
At a time like this, one had to be bold and direct!
No matter what, she had to strike first.
Lin Yi nodded subconsciously, as he really didn't have any plans for the evening.
"I am free this evening..."
Hearing Lin Yi's answer, Li Tong instantly became happy.
"Great, then it's settled. See you tonight!"
Lin Yi nodded blankly, though he didn't know why Li Tong wanted to invite him to dinner.
However, he wouldn't let an opportunity to increase favorability go to waste.
Li Tong's favorability was already at 90 points; with a little more effort, it might reach 100. He didn't know what kind of reward the system would give then.
Seeing Lin Yi agree to her, Li Tong felt a bit smug. In front of these girls, Lin Yi had agreed to have dinner with her without any hesitation, which meant she was more important in Lin Yi's heart than these girls.
Moreover, whether it was Su Ming or this girl wearing a JK outfit, both were very pretty. Li Tong suddenly felt a sense of superiority for outshining these two.
Thinking of this, Li Tong proudly puffed out her proud figure towards Lin Yi.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi could even hear the sound of people swallowing saliva around him.
"Right, after the system update, I haven't checked Li Tong and Su Ming's figure data yet." Thinking of this, Lin Yi opened their information panels in his mind.
Personal Information Name: Li Tong Bust: E Beauty Score: 86 Current Emotional State: Single ...
Personal Information Name: Su Ming Bust: C Beauty Score: 93 Current Emotional State: Unmarried ...
As expected of Li Tong... she really has the assets. Lin Yi couldn't help but glance a few more times.
Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the system's data fully highlighted Li Tong's outstanding features.
Su Ming was also good; the school beauty's beauty score was indeed high. It was even three points higher than the pure and cute little loli Jiang Xiaowan in front of him.
But why did the emotional state show as "Unmarried"? Didn't everyone else show as "Single"? What the heck is "Unmarried"? Could it be that because Su Ming had reached the marriageable age, while the other two girls hadn't?
Lin Yi felt that must be the reason. After all, China has regulations regarding the legal age of marriage.
"Lin Yi, about what I just told you... have you considered..." "And me, and me! Lin Yi, are you willing to teach me how to play games?" Su Ming and Jiang Xiaowan also crowded over.
Only then did Lin Yi realize the atmosphere on the scene seemed a bit off. These girls... they wouldn't be fighting for his affection, would they!
However, the favorability of both Su Ming and Jiang Xiaowan had not yet reached 50 points. According to the system's judgment, only above 50 points could be considered infatuation. Based on their current state, it was more likely they were just vying for attention, and it couldn't really be considered jealousy yet.
Lin Yi clicked his tongue. He didn't expect the feeling of being pestered by several girls at the same time to be like this. But how should he end this... Everyone was a cashback tool bound by the system; he couldn't play favorites, right?
Just at this moment, Lin Yi's phone rang. Lin Yi took a look; it was a call from Zhang Hanyu.
"Um, let's talk about this later. I happen to have something to do right now!" While thanking Zhang Hanyu for this sudden call in his heart, Lin Yi quickly found an opportunity to leave this place of trouble.
Su Ming didn't try to make him stay, sensibly stepping aside and clearing a path for Lin Yi. Jiang Xiaowan, however, pouted her little lips angrily and stamped her feet. "What is this! You haven't answered me yet!"
After leaving the crowd, Lin Yi answered the phone.
"Old Zhang, thank you so much!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Hanyu was completely confused, not knowing what Lin Yi was thanking him for. "Don't mention it, it's all my duty."
Although Zhang Hanyu didn't know what matter Lin Yi was thanking him for, being modest and polite was always the right thing to do. "By the way, did you have something to ask me?"
It was rare for Zhang Hanyu to take the initiative to call Lin Yi; Lin Yi guessed that the other party must have serious business to discuss with him.
"Hehe, there's a business dinner party this weekend. I wanted to ask if you're free to go together."
Lin Yi was a bit confused. He was just an ordinary college student; why would Zhang Hanyu ask him to go?
"Last time I came to your place, I saw a girl named Su Ming, right? She seems to be from your school." "She should be going too."
Zhang Hanyu knew that Su Ming was the daughter of Su Yue. This business dinner was organized by Li Runze of the Li Group, so naturally, Su Ming was also invited.
A charity auction was also arranged for the dinner party, and according to Li Runze, he had a personal matter to publicly announce to everyone after the auction.
