Green Source Wood Industry

If that’s the case, then it really is…

However, Chen Xiao wasn't sure if it was an illusion.

He could only wait until tomorrow to verify it.

"Xiao Ge, have a cigarette," Ji Yuzheng said.

Chen Xiao: "..."

He casually tossed one over, then stood up and said, "I'm going out for a bit."

"Ah? Going out? Can you bring me back a rice bowl?"

Chen Xiao was speechless; this scoundrel often asked people to bring him food but rarely paid, his thick-skinned and oblivious personality never changed.

"I have something to do and won't be back for lunch. You go downstairs and eat."

"Oh, alright then."

Seeing that Chen Xiao wouldn't bring him food, Ji Yuzheng turned back to his game.

Chen Xiao ignored him, got up, and walked out of the dorm.

In his previous life, he would have been half-dead with anger at Ji Yuzheng every day, but now, he only found it amusing, not angry at all.

Chen Xiao's dorm building was Building 5, with the cafeteria sandwiched between it and the girls' dorm, Building 6.

He ordered a bowl of soup noodles, leisurely eating while watching the senior and junior female students come and go.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure not far away.

"Tan Cheng?"

As her name suggested, Tan Cheng was not tall and had a sweet appearance.

She had two shallow dimples when she smiled and a delicate, porcelain-doll-like beautiful face; Chen Xiao remembered being deeply moved by her the first time they met.

For countless nights, he was out of his mind; in his previous life, he pursued her for four full years, and, without exception, all attempts failed.

Even ten years after graduation, Chen Xiao still felt a lingering sense of regret whenever he thought of her name.

He watched Tan Cheng like that until she and her best friend finished eating before he reacted.

Chen Xiao immediately stood up and walked towards them.

Having been reborn, he would not chicken out no matter what.

"Hello, classmate, my name is Chen Xiao. Can we get to know each other?" Chen Xiao said openly.

Girls of this age rarely knew how to refuse.

Tan Cheng and her best friend were a little flustered but still greeted him.

"H-hello, is something wrong?"

Chen Xiao pointed to an instrument nearby and said, "Oh, it's like this: a friend of mine found an erhu by the lake, so I wanted to ask if it belongs to someone in your class who lost it."

He remembered that Tan Cheng had lost a performance-grade erhu worth ten thousand yuan at the start of her sophomore year, and it was never found.

Tan Cheng asked with a surprised look, "Really? That's mine! I have a picture here, can you see if it's this model?"

Chen Xiao casually glanced at it; he knew nothing about such things.

"Oh, it seems like it. How about we exchange contact information? You can send me the picture, and I'll compare it when I get back. If it's the one, I'll call you."

"Oh, okay."

Tan Cheng quickly took out a pen and paper, wrote down her phone number.

"Then I'll trouble you, classmate. Thank you."

Chen Xiao took the slip of paper, said "you're welcome," and turned to leave directly.

Watching his retreating back, Tan Cheng's best friend, Liu Xiaoyan, doubted, "Is that true? He wasn't just trying to get your phone number, was he?"

Tan Cheng sighed, "I hope it's true."

That erhu was bought for her by her family, and she still didn't know how to explain it to them.

Chen Xiao saved the phone number to his phone, then tore the slip of paper into tiny pieces and threw it into the trash can.

If it were in his previous life, this single piece of paper with Tan Cheng's phone number would have been enough for him to obsess over for a whole semester.

Chen Xiao smiled. There was, of course, no erhu. Anyway, he had the phone number, and he could find an opportunity later.

He had already told Ji Yuzheng he wouldn't be returning to the dorm, so Chen Xiao simply went to the tennis courts next to Building 5.

He found a comfortable spot to sit down and watched the young women on the court practicing hitting and picking up balls. As their short skirts fluttered up and down, it was quite a sight.

"Ah, university life, it's so damn comfortable!"

"Carefree, no trivial worries, no financial pressure."

After watching for a while, Chen Xiao took out his phone; the floating information was still there.

He sent a text message to Sun Ying.

"Have you returned to school?"

He sent it and quickly received a reply.

"Yes, missing me already?"

"Come to the tennis court, I have some things to ask you."

After Chen Xiao sent it, he put away his phone. As for what Sun Ying replied, he didn't look.

She would definitely come anyway.

Because he understood Sun Ying.

She had two great loves: money and sex.

But in reality, these two often couldn't be had at the same time, so she chose to pursue both paths simultaneously to satisfy her desires.

On one hand, she sought out what she considered successful men, and on the other, she looked for "puppies" with strong backs.

Coincidentally, Xing Yanqing and Chen Xiao were both her prey.

Sun Ying could get different satisfactions from the two of them.

Before long, a slender, seductively made-up beauty appeared on the tennis court, attracting the attention of a large group of male students.

After she saw Chen Xiao, she walked straight towards him.

Chen Xiao also saw her at the same time. In terms of figure and looks alone, Sun Ying was at least a 90-plus beauty, around 170 cm tall, youthful, vibrant, sexy, and enchanting.

He just didn't know why she seemed more mature than most people her age.

Perhaps it was her nature to long for the world of fame and fortune early on.

She herself had an extremely strong desire for the things she pursued, something Chen Xiao deeply understood, and fortunately, he was able to control it.

"Why are you here? You didn't reply when I asked what you wanted to drink. Let's share one."

Sun Ying brought her half-finished milk tea to Chen Xiao's mouth.

Chen Xiao shook his head, "I just had some."

"Oh, what did you want to see me about? It couldn't be..."

Sun Ying always spoke without restraint. In his previous life, when she was alone with Chen Xiao, just a few words from her could make him blush.

Chen Xiao had something on his mind, and he no longer had the shyness of his previous life, so he asked directly, "I have something to ask you. Is Xing Yanqing still a manager at Qiankun Investment Company?"

Sun Ying was startled and pushed Chen Xiao.

"You're not jealous, are you? We agreed from the start that we weren't in a romantic relationship..."

Chen Xiao was speechless, "No, you're overthinking it. I just wanted to ask about the stock market."

Sun Ying was visibly relieved. She had been worried that the carefully maintained love triangle she had would have problems.

"What? You're interested in the stock market too?"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Just trying to understand it."

Sun Ying ran her fingers through her long, beautiful hair. "Alright, given that I'm quite satisfied with you, I'll indulge you. Ask whatever you want to know."

Chen Xiao: "..."

"I want to know which stocks Xing Yanqing has been betting on recently."

Sun Ying paused, then earnestly advised, "Chen Xiao, stocks are for rich people. The waters are very deep in there. You'd better not try it, okay?"

"I told you, I'm just trying to understand it, not buying. Where would I get the money to buy?"

Just as Chen Xiao understood Sun Ying, Sun Ying also understood Chen Xiao to some extent.

He came from an ordinary family and only had normal living expenses each month, with no extra money.

"Alright, if you're asking what stocks Xing Yanqing has been paying attention to recently, I'm not really sure. You know, I'm not interested in those things."

"But today I heard him mention Luyuan Wood Industry a few times, talking about leverage, inside information, and such. I don't really understand it either."

Chen Xiao's pupils contracted. "Are you sure it was Luyuan Wood Industry?"
