1: Chapter 1 You translated Sun Tzu's Art of War for African warlords?
Dragon City,
Capital University of Economics and Business.
The University Students, just out of class, were bustling back and forth in crowds.
It was lively and extraordinary.
In the crowd, a girl wearing a JK uniform was holding up her phone and greeting everyone.
"Long time no see, everyone."
"Your Little Xue is back!"
The girl had a sweet smile, and even a casual wink drove the live stream viewers wild.
"I've been resting for almost a year. How has everyone been lately?"
The girl spoke while monitoring the bullet comments.
"Hmm, I'm feeling a bit better."
"It's because you all kept urging me in the backend. If I didn't come back, you might have unsubscribed!"
"But I thought you guys wouldn't be that heartless!"
The Streamer's voice was cute.
"Where is this? This is the Capital University of Economics and Business!"
"This is the Streamer's alma mater. Someone actually said I was uncultured before—honestly!"
"Let me show you guys, okay? Today, the Streamer is back to promote our alma mater."
"Freshmen and sophomores who just took the college entrance exams, look over here..."
Su Xueer!
One of the phenomenal internet celebrities who exploded in popularity last year.
She became famous across the entire internet thanks to her sweet looks and extreme contrast!
She stopped streaming for a year due to poor health.
Coincidentally, Capital University of Economics and Business was entering a new enrollment season.
Thus, the high-ranking leaders of Capital University of Economics and Business unanimously decided to select Su Xueer to return and promote the school.
Youthful and pure!
Always full of energy in front of the camera.
Although she had already graduated, she still retained the beauty of a University Student.
This was also the reason why Su Xueer became so popular.
In this era,
although material life was abundant,
spiritual life was chaotic and murky.
The beauty captured in Su Xueer's short videos perfectly compensated for the void in everyone's hearts.
It was with this that she directly dominated all major self-media platforms.
Even during the time she was resting a few months ago,
the hashtag #WhereDidSuXueerGo?# on Douyin's trending searches always remained a hot topic.
Students who had just graduated and worked for a year or two watched her videos to reminisce about their youth.
Middle-aged parents tried hard to understand their children.
And young children currently studying in primary and middle schools looked forward to the future.
Suitable for all ages, discussed by the whole nation.
Therefore, even though Su Xueer had just returned,
as soon as she started streaming, she already had tens of millions of viewers.
"It's been a while since I've seen my alma mater. Let's casually interview a few freshmen and sophomores."
...
"Hello, junior!"
Su Xueer's gaze locked onto a male student eating a roasted sweet potato.
"Junior, do you have anything fun or meaningful that happened this semester that you'd like to share?"
"Or, perhaps, introduce Capital University of Economics and Trade from your perspective?"
"What's so great about this lousy university... Go ask a garbage collector."
The male student said nonchalantly while gnawing on the sweet potato.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Su Xueer was about to leave, the male student called out to her again.
"You are..."
The male student carefully examined Su Xueer, then pulled out his phone to compare. "Are you Senior Su Xueer?"
"Yes, I am."
Su Xueer nodded with a smile. "I'm back to help promote our school!"
Immediately after,
"Oh, I see."
The male student's eyes lit up. He wiped the corner of his mouth and straightened his clothes.
"First of all, our Capital University of Economics and Trade is specially approved by Dragon Country..."
The male student spoke with a serious expression, detailing a long list of things.
Finally, he added, "Lastly, we welcome all students to apply to Capital University of Economics and Trade."
After the male student finished speaking, he even cupped his hands in a respectful salute to the crowd.
At that moment, he looked like a campus promotional Ambassador.
"Hahahaha!"
"Well, now that's professionalism!"
"This kid really wants to get ahead!"
The live stream comments were already going crazy with laughter.
Even many students watching the live stream at the school gate looked toward the male student.
Seeing the positive reaction, Su Xueer continued, "Then, during your semester..."
Su Xueer hadn't finished speaking when the male student jumped in with an answer, "During my time here, I have always studied hard. My ideal is to dedicate myself to the construction of the motherland, to let myself shine and contribute!"
The male student's impassioned speech made everyone very excited.
They hadn't expected Capital University of Economics and Trade to be this great!
Su Xueer chimed in, "This student, you are doing very well."
"This reminds me of a saying, Only our Chinese youth..."
However, she was interrupted by the bullet comments before she could finish.
"Zhao Xiaosong, you really dare to brag!"
"You sleep in the dorm all day and don't even wash your feet, yet you talk about studying hard to build the motherland?"
"Act! You're just acting!"
The blowback came too fast. Su Xueer revealed a subtle smile.
...
The traffic driven by Su Xueer alone was simply too explosive.
It was practically a perfect accompaniment to a meal, an electronic snack.
It was currently dinnertime, so many people were watching.
The juniors and sophomores naturally couldn't be exempt from this.
Zhao Xiaosong was clearly exposed by his merciless classmates.
"Sincerity is moving. I hope the students I interview will put less effort into stunts and speak more truth!"
Su Xueer thoughtfully found an excuse for the male student.
"Let's go, I'll take you guys over there to have a look."
Su Xueer pointed to a youth dragging a massive woven sack down a flagstone path.
His expression was indifferent, and he walked on his own without looking at his phone.
"Holy crap, what's in that sack?"
"Probably junk. This guy probably isn't from our school!"
"Stop guessing upstairs. It's heavy, so it must be bedding!"
"It must be local specialty products mailed by his mom. My mom likes using this kind of packaging too!"
The bullet comments buzzed with discussion. Su Xueer walked forward.
"Hello, junior! May I ask..."
"No time."
Lin Heng's voice was neither warm nor cold.
No time?
She was a major Streamer, yet someone was ignoring her?
Su Xueer was a little annoyed.
But in front of the camera, Su Xueer was forced to maintain her composure.
She still managed a smile. "Junior, we are having a prize quiz..."
Lin Heng, who was about to walk past, stopped and turned back upon hearing this.
"Go ahead."
"What is in my bag?"
Su Xueer pointed at the woven sack.
"Books."
"Books?"
Su Xueer's eyes lit up.
Young people in this era basically didn't read physical books.
Even Su Xueer herself was the same.
With a phone in hand, the world was available.
And she was doing this live stream precisely to promote the school positively,
fitting her image of being active and motivated!
So, Su Xueer asked cautiously, "Junior, would it be convenient for me to take a look?"
Facing Su Xueer's incessant chatter, Lin Heng became a little impatient.
However, considering she was paying him, he opened the sack.
Whoosh!
When the sack opened,
books, all of which had been opened and showed heavy signs of reading, scattered onto the ground.
"Reading is a good habit. It seems this junior is very fond of studying..."
Su Xueer hadn't finished speaking when she noticed something was wrong.
Wait a minute.
"the art of war"
"Ten Strategies of Vertical and Horizontal Alliances"
???!!!
That in itself wasn't strange; it was classical literature!
But...
"Detailed Explanation of Wheat Planting Techniques"
"Theory of Small Arms Manufacturing"
"The Complete Command of Warfare, Volume One"
...What in the world were these!
Su Xueer felt a bit flustered, looking at the seemingly innocent Lin Heng, hesitating to speak.
"Hahahaha, if these books weren't so worn out, I'd think this guy was a small-time book vendor."
"Maybe he's collecting books from the school to resell for recycling?"
"Streamer, look closely. Do you see 'Postpartum Care for Sows'?"
"..."
The live stream comments flashed rapidly, and Su Xueer's mouth twitched.
"Are you done looking? I'm putting them away now."
Lin Heng gathered his hands and quickly sealed the sack shut.
"Uh, junior, are you a history major?"
Su Xueer asked, steeling herself.
"Me? I major in International Trade."
Lin Heng shrugged.
"Then these books?"
"I use these books to earn money doing part-time work at school to subsidize my living expenses."
???!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xueer was completely dumbfounded.
Part-time work?
Subsidize living expenses?
"How do these books subsidize your living expenses? Are you collecting and reselling them?"
Su Xueer blinked.
"I sell them, but I deal in foreign exchange."
Lin Heng said calmly.
"Hahahaha, foreign exchange now! I claim to be a security guard (BA)!"
"The guy upstairs, I play ADC in Ionia."
"..."
Before Su Xueer could speak, the bullet comments had already gone completely wild.
Only Su Xueer looked at Lin Heng with bewildered, ignorant eyes.
"These books... you sell them to foreigners?"
"Why not sell new books? Can't foreigners buy them themselves?"
Hearing this, Lin Heng looked at the woman in front of him as if she were an idiot.
Big chest... but brainless.
He said slowly, "What the hell would those Black people understand!"
Immediately after, he casually flipped open a copy of "the art of war."
It was covered with numerous translated annotations.
"See this?"
"This book costs 22 Yuan on Dingdang Net, but after I add annotations and notes, it sells for 400 a copy."
"US Dollars!"
