High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 334 - 171: Lost Money Again, But Happy! (Double-Length)
Liu Ruyi came in and immediately said to Li Yang, "Yangyang, if you’re not happy with the food, tell your sister, I’m prepared to make improvements."
Li Yang smiled and said, "Ruyi, the dishes here are very tasty. I’ll bring friends over in a while, and sister must save me a spot. But today, some people are quite disappointing."
Liu Ruyi’s face immediately turned ugly. Li Yang still speaks so abrasively.
Cen Yeming, seeing this, almost couldn’t sit still and quickly said, "I heard it. You’re blaming sister."
"That’s not true. Suppose I broke sister’s chair; I’ll compensate her later. I’m leaving first."
Li Yang was too lazy to stay and turned to leave the private room.
After he walked out, Liu Ruyi immediately half-knelt beside Cen Yeming and said, "Brother, don’t bother with him. He’s just a college student, and now he has some fame and status, so it’s inevitable he’ll be a bit arrogant. It’s not worth getting angry with him; there’s no future interaction."
Cen Yeming said nothing, maintaining a high and cold demeanor.
Liu Ruyi placed her hand on Cen Yeming’s and said softly, "Actually, I really appreciate him. It’s not about the money he helped us earn before, but because of him, my brother came to my place for a while. The last time we met was months ago..."
...
After leaving the restaurant, Li Yang saw Xiangnu at the alley entrance.
"Why are you here? How about we go in and open another table? I just didn’t eat enough, with Cen Yeming being so stingy..."
Xiangnu directly grabbed his hand and said, "Let’s go with me first, we’ll eat elsewhere later."
"Where to?"
"Anywhere, not eating here! Did you flip a table?"
"Honest to God, I just flipped a chair."
"You... why are you so bold?"
"What boldness? Facing that guy, do you need courage?"
"You..."
Xiangnu dragged Li Yang into the car, stepped on the gas, and drove away from there.
In the car, Xiangnu asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Li Yang looked dumbfounded: "Ah? What do you mean?"
"Cen Yeming won’t let you off."
"Ah? Him?"
"Him? What are you thinking?"
Xiangnu felt Li Yang was acting a bit exaggerated, as if he never respected Cen Yeming at all.
Li Yang helplessly said, "At thirty-plus and still roaming around the Capital City, speaking bluntly, he’s just like this for life! Any real big shot of that age isn’t wandering around the Capital City, right? As for him, his status may not necessarily be more practical than mine as a Jing University student. As long as I’m willing, I could easily get into the system. How old am I? How old is he? Truth be told, if I throw all my money in, I’ll surpass him by age twenty-eight. How can he threaten me?"
Xiangnu: "..."
Li Yang continued, "They’re just a bunch of freeloaders; the truly powerful circles aren’t built by outsiders, it’s by those with real power. Just a bunch of drunken gluttons gathered together, if I’m scared, I’d embarrass the university. With all their talk about me having to earn money and double it, otherwise they won’t take it, I want to see if they can really take money from my account!"
If they can truly get money from Li Yang’s account, he’ll admit defeat.
It’s like an apology twice over.
If they don’t have that ability, let them cool off somewhere!
Limiting withdrawals is no skill, it only exposes the reality that they have no other cards to play.
They should try to get the university to expel him, see if the administration listens to them.
Of course, Li Yang believes Cen Yeming’s elders must be really impressive, better than Bai Jingxuan.
The question is, do they have the strength to get their elders to help?
Do their elders dare help?
The richer and more powerful people are, the more pressure they face.
Because they’re closely watched.
Even the wealthiest in the country need to constantly find ways to innovate, because once they stagnate, they’ll be toppled.
Li Yang wishes Cen Yeming’s elders would target him, so he’d instantly gain significant support.
This isn’t some small county, this is the Capital City, who dares claim they’re the biggest?
Only Xiangnu is fixated on mingling in social circles, but true circles aren’t mingled into, they’re forged by oneself.
"You’re going to waste all their money?" Xiangnu was shocked.
"Or what? If they don’t want to take it, then I’ll show them. Starting tomorrow, I’ll manage my own funds without brokers, I won’t let them lose! When they lose their capital, let’s see how they explain!"
"You... you... No way!"
Xiangnu immediately objected to this plan.
But Li Yang smiled and said, "Starting from the moment I cursed Xiang Baiyang today, this has nothing to do with you. Wanliu Capital’s matters won’t involve you anymore. Say another word and I’ll immediately call Cen Yeming, telling him this was all your idea."
Xiangnu: "..."
"Hurry up and pick up Master Jiang, let’s go eat together, Cen Yeming’s group is too boring."
Ye Bingcheng is also in his thirties, maybe only two or three years older than Cen Yeming; what’s his position now?
At this age, he already seems a step behind; without that lucky break, he’d have delayed three more years, equivalent to lagging by two steps.
Lagging one step is a huge gap, not to mention lagging two.
Cen Yeming’s group, even if they have extraordinary luck at this age, they’d be another two steps behind Ye Bingcheng, at least three steps behind overall. There’s practically no hope.
They’re simply well-acquainted in the Capital City, and boast some local networking, able to say a couple of things.
