It's time to pay copyright fees again

Only after Chen Xiao repeatedly promised to call at least once a month and return home immediately on the first day of the holiday did Wang Li reluctantly hang up the phone.

Not long after, Chen Xiao received a text message notification that 1,200 yuan had been credited to his card.

He stared blankly at the number for a long time, then a slight smile touched his lips before he put away his phone.

"Dad, Mom, there's less than a month left. Enjoy the life of ordinary people."

"Starting from the summer holiday, I'm going to make you completely say goodbye to the past!"

Chen Xiao, who had just claimed he was starving because he had no money, turned around and got into a luxury car worth over 800,000 yuan.

The car continued to drive, and Chen Xiao kept staring blankly at his phone, planning in his mind how to change his family's life during the summer holiday.

Liu Xin and Su Tang exchanged glances but said nothing.

"Su Tang, put on some music," Chen Xiao said.

"Yes, Boss."

As the melodious tune began, Chen Xiao's thoughts drifted to his hometown, which wasn't beautiful, but he could never forget it.

......

The car quickly arrived at the entrance of Jinning Normal University.

Liu Xin honked the horn twice, and the main gate opened directly.

There was no registration, and the security guard even waved in greeting.

Chen Xiao once again experienced the difference that money made.

"Boss, where are we going?"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Find Dormitory Building 2."

"Okay."

After asking a few students, the car stopped steadily by the road below Building 2.

Chen Xiao leaned close to the window, watching the students entering and exiting the doorway.

This dormitory was the one belonging to his ex-wife from his previous life, Zhao Xiaohong, who had caused him to go to the rooftop.

Chen Xiao watched motionlessly, carefully searching every student who entered and exited.

"Boss, do you want to buy some water?" Su Tang asked.

"No need," Chen Xiao replied with just two words.

Su Tang didn't move and continued to wait with Chen Xiao.

The Mercedes-Benz E parked here attracted the attention of passing students.

Male students were interested in the car, while female students... were more interested in the person driving it.

Suddenly,

Chen Xiao's gaze sharpened. There was a girl walking by who looked into the car several times.

Chen Xiao instantly confirmed that it was Zhao Xiaohong.

He would never forget that face, even if it turned to ash—pure on the surface, but utterly hypocritical underneath.

Zhao Xiaohong turned her head to look into the Mercedes-Benz several more times, making Chen Xiao even more certain.

He was about to get out of the car when a black Passat suddenly drove over from the opposite side. Chen Xiao saw the license plate, and his movement to get out immediately stopped.

Then, an expression of utter disbelief appeared on his face.

Because this car...

belonged to Xing Yanqing!

Sure enough, Xing Yanqing got out of the car, holding a large bouquet of flowers, and handed them to Zhao Xiaohong.

Chen Xiao immediately took out his phone and started recording.

Zhao Xiaohong's expression carried a hint of shyness; it seemed the two had only recently met.

Chen Xiao instantly recalled, was it truly just a momentary impulse when Zhao Xiaohong took all his savings in his previous life to buy stocks from Xing Yanqing?

If the two met so early, with Xing Yanqing's temperament, how did Zhao Xiaohong manage to stain the bed sheets on their wedding night?

In his previous life, Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiaohong had met many years after graduation, introduced by others.

Zhao Xiaohong claimed she had always been busy with her studies and had never been in a relationship.

But now, looking at this, it wasn't just one or two relationships she hadn't had, was it?

It was too far, Chen Xiao couldn't hear what they were saying, only saw them briefly embrace each other, then separate.

As Zhao Xiaohong walked back to her dormitory, she turned her head to look at the Mercedes-Benz again.

After Xing Yanqing left, Chen Xiao stopped recording.

He said to Su Tang, "Su Tang, her name is Zhao Xiaohong, from Financial Class 1. I need to know everything about her. Can you do it?"

Su Tang bit her lip, thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I can, Boss, wait for me."

Chen Xiao felt a warmth in his heart. This was not within Su Tang's scope of work, yet she still fulfilled his request without asking why.

Chen Xiao opened a crack in the window, then took out a cigarette and offered one to Liu Xin.

Liu Xin was flustered: "Boss, I don't smoke, thank you."

Chen Xiao nodded, put on his sunglasses, and chose to get out of the car to smoke.

Although he liked to smoke, he didn't like the car to be full of smoke.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Su Tang finally walked out of the dormitory building.

Seeing her confident smile, Chen Xiao knew that the matter was settled.

After getting in the car, Chen Xiao asked, "How did you do it?"

Su Tang smiled, "I found out their class dormitory, then spent two thousand yuan and got very detailed information."

"Very good, tell me about it."

Su Tang nodded, "Okay."

"Name Zhao Xiaohong, 20 years old, lives in Jinning City, Tianhong Line, Xiaowang Village."

"After entering university in her freshman year, she had three boyfriends, but all of them broke up quickly because of Financial reasons."

"Xing Yanqing is someone she just met. According to Zhao Xiaohong's dormitory mates, she often praises Xing Yanqing for being generous and has debated several times whether to go to a hotel with him."

"That's most of the main information. There are some other details; I'll sort out a report and send it to you after re-listening to the recording."

Chen Xiao was very satisfied with Su Tang's work ability. At the same time, he secretly resented that he had indeed been deceived by this bitch in his previous life!

"No need, this is enough. Did you get Zhao Xiaohong's phone number?"

"Yes, I got it."

"Very good. Starting tomorrow, order a bouquet of flowers for her every day, signed... Ji Yuzheng."

Su Tang paused, "Okay."

"Let's go. Later, help me buy two packs of Furongwang. It's time to pay copyright fees again..."

......

That night, Zhao Xiaohong received a bouquet of 99 roses.

"Wow, Xiaohong, Xing Yanqing just sent a small one, and now another big one? He's too rich, isn't he?"

Zhao Xiaohong looked bewildered, "This, this isn't from Xing Yanqing."

"Hmm? Then who is it?" Several people in the dormitory gathered around to look.

"Who is Ji Yuzheng?"

Zhao Xiaohong regained her composure, "Uh... you ask me, I don't even know who to ask..."

"Could it be some little boy who has a crush on you?"

Zhao Xiaohong shook her head, having no impression of the name at all.

......

After returning to the dormitory, Chen Xiao directly threw two packs of Furongwang on Xiao Ji's desk.

Xiao Ji immediately jumped off the sofa and hugged Chen Xiao's leg, saying,

"Xiao Ge, anything goes except for the chrysanthemum!"

Chen Xiao: "......"

"It's nothing, these are the copyright and usage fees for your name."

Xiao Ji shivered, "B-Brother, which door is it this time? You have to leave me at least two courses!"

"Don't worry, this time it's not from our school, so you can rest assured."

"Oh, oh, that's good. Come, Xiao Ge, have a cigarette."

Xiao Ji handed over his seven-yuan cigarette, but Chen Xiao pointed to the Furongwang.

"Smoke that one."

"Damn, what's the difference? Let's smoke this first."

Chen Xiao was speechless; he had never seen anyone so stingy.

However, it was later proven that Chen Xiao had been narrow-minded.

That night, Xiao Ji didn't return to the dormitory.

Chen Xiao lay in bed and realized, "This dog probably went out to sell the cigarettes, didn't he?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

"Holy cow, you're really a talent!"

......

Liu Xin walked into the dormitory and saw, "Hey? Where's Xiao Ji?"

"He went to a hotel with a girl."

"Holy cow, seriously. I'll tell his wife later!"

Chen Xiao knew he was just saying that. In his previous life, Ji Yuzheng's wife was kept in the dark until the very end, and they even got married successfully.

Liu Xin added, "Luckily, I have you with me."

Chen Xiao took out his phone, "Hello? Yu Mengqi? What building and room number is your house?"

As he spoke, he walked out the door, not forgetting to say as he turned back,

"Brother's going to a hotel too, you stay here by yourself."

Liu Xin stood in the middle of the dormitory, looking around at the empty space. When he looked up again, Chen Xiao had already walked far away.

"Holy cow!"
