Xi Yunru's charm

Chen Xiao put down his chopsticks, looking surprised.

"Okay, Teacher Li, I understand. Thank you for telling me this news."

"Alas, it's nothing, but... I hope you can keep it a secret. Don't let anyone else know I told you."

"Don't worry, it's just between you and me. Absolutely no third person will know."

"Good, that's good. You're probably not an ordinary student. Try to pull some strings and make some arrangements."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Li."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao's expression was not very good.

Liu Xing's arrogant smiling face, which he saw every time, appeared in his mind.

Xi Yunru saw his solemn expression, came to his side, and asked worriedly, "Did something happen?"

Chen Xiao looked at his woman's worried expression, was momentarily stunned, then shook his head and chuckled softly.

"Just a tiny little thing, not worth mentioning."

At the same time, he sighed, realizing he was still constrained by his identity as a student.

He actually cared about this.

Immediately, he picked up the phone.

"Hello? Tang Ge, your brother here… sigh, it’s a bit embarrassing, I failed some courses."

"Hahahaha…"

Tang Shaofei first burst into laughter, then said, "Your school, do they send report cards home?"

"Exactly! I don't know who invented that, damn it!"

Tang Shaofei said, "Minor matter. How many courses did you fail?"

"Um… besides my major courses, I failed all of them…"

"…" Tang Shaofei.

"Damn it, what kind of schooling is this you're getting…"

Chen Xiao was speechless, "Tang Ge, I'm a good student, diligent every day. I just ran into a scoundrel."

Tang Shaofei frowned, "Is that so? Alright, I understand. Don't worry, if there's even one course on your report card that's not a perfect score, you can come settle the score with me later."

Chen Xiao quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Tang Ge. Let's get together sometime later."

"Alright, I'll go take care of this first."

"Okay, goodbye."

What Liu Xing didn't expect was that all the trouble he had gone through to cause problems for Chen Xiao only made him make one extra phone call.

As a wealthy man in Jinning, Tang Shaofei's connections and network naturally extended in all directions.

He pondered for a moment, then dialed a number he didn't often contact.

"Hello? Third Uncle, I have something…"

"Don't worry, once I'm done with this busy period, I'll definitely drink with you, hehehe…"

"Oh, please don't scold me. Even if I'm not filial to Old Tang, I can't be unfilial to you. You've always been the best to me since I was little."

"Okay, this is a very good friend of mine, you understand."

...

Director Liu had been smooth sailing for the past two years, achieving considerable success in his work, and the position of Vice Dean for the second half of this year was almost within his grasp.

Within the academy, he was solidly the number 3 figure, and was about to advance further to become number 2.

Naturally, his family's efforts were indispensable in this, especially his elder brother Liu Fengwu, who was always responsive to his requests.

At this critical moment of promotion, he would absolutely not take any risks, and he had turned down several gifts from others.

But he couldn't resist his elder brother's only son requesting him repeatedly, and Director Liu checked that Chen Xiao was just an ordinary student, so he didn't pay much attention and directly graded all of his major course scores as failing, thinking that the teachers below wouldn't dare to leak it.

Today, at the end of the semester, having just finished work, Liu Fengwu happened to organize a family dinner. As soon as Director Liu arrived at the venue, he was drowned in flattery.

"Dean Liu is here."

"Congratulations on your promotion, Dean Liu."

"Dean Liu…"

He had longed for this title for a long time, and now it was finally about to come true. Although he was very happy with others' flattery internally, he humbly said:

"Hahahaha, I'm not a dean yet. Everyone is calling me too early."

The group continued to flatter him.

"Oh? It's already been decided at the meeting, it's pretty much an official announcement."

Director Liu no longer refused, and holding his wine glass, he began to speak grandly, feeling quite spirited and as if he was commanding the world.

While he was bragging loudly, a phone call suddenly came in.

Signaling everyone to be quiet, Director Liu pressed answer, "Hello? Leader, what are your instructions?"

"Don't call me leader, I don't have subordinates like you!"

Right from the start, he felt the leader's anger, and his heart immediately sank.

"Xiao Liu, you're usually quite sharp, but why do you act without thinking sometimes?

We have over eighty thousand people in our school, and out of everyone, you had to pick the toughest one. Are you f*cking hard-headed? If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!

Alright, you'll be temporarily transferred back to the archives. As for next semester, we'll discuss it in a meeting later. Good luck!"

"Beep—beep—beep—"

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Director Liu was scolded from head to toe and immediately stood dumbfounded.

He simply couldn't believe any of this was real.

He had put in so much effort, toiled for half his life, just to get out of the archives.

And just like that, he was back?

My Vice Dean, who was within reach!

Director Liu didn't care about anything else. Without even saying goodbye, he immediately got up and ran to the school, wanting to see if there was still any room for a turn of events.

Who exactly did I offend? It couldn't possibly be that ordinary Chen Xiao, could it?

...

On the other side, after Chen Xiao had someone handle his grades, he sent another message to An Zhong.

[Investigate whether Director Liu and Liu Xing from the Music Department have any illegal activities.]

Soon, An Zhong replied.

[Okay, received, Boss.]

After reading the message, Chen Xiao smiled slightly and then dismissed this small matter from his mind.

Seeing him regain his smile, Xi Yunru finally relaxed.

After they finished eating, the nanny took care of the cleanup, and they held hands as they went downstairs for a walk.

Outside the south gate of Binjiang No. 1 was the Changteng River embankment.

The greenery here was excellent, and there were walking paths and dedicated cycling lanes on the embankment.

The river water gently washed against the banks, making a rustling sound.

Many people came here to run, cycle, and stroll.

Xi Yunru deliberately wore loose clothing, intending to conceal her impressive figure and attract less attention.

But the effect was clearly not very good.

Young people were too embarrassed to stare directly, always sneaking glances or casually sweeping their eyes over her as they passed, pausing briefly on Xi Yunru before quickly looking away.

But the old men were different.

Years had polished the old men's facial skin to be very tough.

They almost pressed their faces against her to look.

Chen Xiao was speechless. Although a man remains a youth until death, those old men on bicycles, can you f*cking watch where you're going?

Two or three people have already fallen into the ditch next to you, and you still haven't learned your lesson?

For the safety of these old men, Chen Xiao, holding Xi Yunru, didn't walk long before they turned back home.

A beauty who could make even Chen Xiao, surrounded by beauties, so infatuated, how could her allure be ordinary?

"Yunru, from now on when we go out, I'll have to cover you with a bamboo hat."

Xi Yunru rolled her beautiful eyes, "It's not that exaggerated."

Chen Xiao turned around and pointed at the embankment, "Didn't you see those old men struggling in the ditch? I estimate some of them will have to stay in the hospital for a few days."

"…" Xi Yunru.

She sighed softly. Beauty was a gift from God, but from childhood to adulthood, it had also brought her endless troubles.

Chen Xiao smiled, "What? Are you already tired of your dream so quickly? How about we buy an estate later? That way, you won't have to worry about others' prying eyes."

Xi Yunru shook her head, "No, an estate is too quiet."

"Hmm? You don't like quiet?"

"I do, but I like the quiet within a bustling city. An estate… is already quiet, and combined with my personality… I would feel very lonely."

Chen Xiao thought about it and found it reasonable.

If a person cannot enjoy their inner world, then loneliness is a terrible thing.

Chatting along the way, the two returned home.

The nanny had already cleaned up and left for the day, and in the entire house, only Xi Yunru and Chen Xiao remained.

The ambient lights in the house were somewhat hazy.

They always stirred up the deepest desires in people's hearts.

Although they couldn't do anything substantial.

But Chen Xiao still lingered over Xi Yunru's flawless figure.

The atmosphere in the room gradually turned pink…

...

It wasn't until late at night, after washing up, that the two got into bed, nestled together, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Chen Xiao originally didn't plan to go to the company, but Su Tang called, saying that Lan Cheng Group's stock price was once again trending downwards.

Teng Xiao Capital had already completed its liquidation, and Lan Cheng Group's stock price would continue to fall.

If it were market factors, Chen Xiao was a bit skeptical.

No matter what, their company's large amount of land in the Development Zone was a tangible asset.

Besides, at this time, Lan Cheng Group still had Atlantic Capital supporting it, so how could it…

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao suddenly paused.

"Yan Bingqin!"

Yan Yanyan had pulled in Lan Cheng Group,

Then Yan Bingqin would certainly not let Bai Lancheng off easy.

Chen Xiao smiled, "This girl, Yan Bingqin, truly understands my heart, hahahaha…"

He had originally wanted to strike at Lan Cheng Group, but he didn't expect Yan Bingqin to make the first move.

Previously, he could only cause a certain negative impact on Bai Lancheng, slowing down the rise in Lan Cheng Group's stock price.

Now with Yan Bingqin leading the way…

It might produce unexpected results.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao immediately got up from the bed, quickly washed up, and got dressed.

Xi Yunru also got up, "I'll go prepare breakfast for you."

Chen Xiao grabbed her, followed by a lingering kiss.

"Alright, I'm full."

Xi Yunru: "…"

Watching Chen Xiao leave in a hurry, a smile rippled across Xi Yunru's lips.

"Tonight…"

Her face inexplicably flushed, and she turned to enter the walk-in closet, preparing to go out and buy some things.

...

Chen Xiao arrived at the company, and while being served breakfast by two beautiful secretaries, he watched the stock trading situation of Lan Cheng Group.

He was pondering when would be the best time to make his move.
