Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 1111 - 1096: Brother Feng Prepares for the Proposal Ceremony! (2)
Returning to Beijing, it was late at night.
Huo Feng dropped Pu Sangzhi back at the dormitory, and then the two parted ways.
Another New Year spent together, and on their return, there was still a trace of festive joy lingering on them.
Both Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng felt quite good.
This night in the girls’ dormitory, only Minal and Pu Sangzhi were there; the others had gone home for the New Year...
This year, Mu Mu also went home. After all, she hadn’t been home for a year and a half, and this winter break, she was reportedly scolded back by her elders.
Although there were only two girls in the dorm, in this festive January atmosphere, both girls felt in high spirits.
Even though it was already late at night, Pu Sangzhi and Minal were still lying in bed chatting, and both were in good spirits.
In fact, it was mainly Minal chattering non-stop about her recent situation with Ye Xi.
She had known Ye Xi for a year and a half after all, and after pestering him for so long, Ye Xi had actually gotten used to her.
Minal felt she was just a few steps away from a successful "revolution"...
"I spent last New Year with him! So this year, being at home was unbearable~ I just casually visited a few relatives and came back early."
Minal said triumphantly, "Although I didn’t spend New Year’s Eve with him, at least I can spend January with him! There’s still plenty of time before school starts~ Let me think of what to ask him to do together..."
Hearing this, Pu Sangzhi asked, "Can you now have a date with Brother Ye Xi alone?"
"Yes, yes!"
Minal nodded proudly, "We’ve already been on several dates alone~ Even though I’ve always found various reasons for him to accompany me to the construction market... he agreed to them all! This time I want to find a better reason to have him truly go on a few dates with me!"
Pu Sangzhi deeply felt that Minal had it not easy...
Back then, when Huo Feng pursued her, it was a prolonged tug-of-war; Brother Ye Xi was just as hard to chase...
"I think you can ask him to go to the library,"
Pu Sangzhi suddenly suggested to Minal.
"Really?"
Minal immediately looked up at her, "Isn’t that place really dull? This might ruin my date!"
"Dullness aside, Brother Ye Xi likes reading."
Pu Sangzhi continued to suggest to Minal, "This is more likely a sustainable reason for you two to have long-term dates. As long as he agrees once, you can mention it more times in the future, and he’ll surely agree."
Although confused, Minal’s instincts told her that Sangzhi’s suggestion was correct!
So Minal nodded seriously, "Alright, I’ll take your word for it! Tomorrow I’ll ask him to go to the library!"
Pu Sangzhi: "Uh-huh."
"But~"
Minal thought there was a problem, "The library is just quietly reading; I can’t do anything with him..."
Pu Sangzhi then suggested, "When Brother Ye Xi goes to the library, he’s surely reading. You should bring some literature materials. Ask for his guidance in studies; he surely won’t ignore that. Studying is also a guise, and aren’t we about to start our junior year? We have papers to write soon. This aspect can be very helpful to you."
Pu Sangzhi wasn’t sure if she was right to guide Minal in pursuing Ye Xi, but in Minal’s persistent effort, she hoped they could end up together.
"Sangzhi, have you decided to study abroad for your master’s?"
Switching topics, Minal asked Pu Sangzhi about her academics.
College years go by quickly...
In the blink of an eye, it was already the second semester of sophomore year. By junior year, there would be experiments, thesis writing, and even planning for the future path of graduate studies and doctoral examinations.
Because senior year is the internship phase.
Minal’s performance was average in the last two semesters, and her average GPA was also average; studying abroad for a master’s needed more effort...
This was where Pu Sangzhi differed from Minal.
Pu Sangzhi had been set on studying abroad for her master’s since freshman year, so her GPA was the highest in the class every semester, and she was also the top in the class. Moreover, she had won several scholarships over these two semesters, making Jiang Tao proud of her.
Therefore, for Pu Sangzhi, securing an opportunity to study and pursue a doctorate abroad was a sure thing.
However, seeing Huo Feng’s booming career now, Minal was skeptical about whether he would study abroad.
Thus, Minal wondered, would they be apart for a few years, or what?
With a clear objective, Pu Sangzhi answered Minal without a second’s hesitation, "Absolutely, I must go abroad, otherwise I wouldn’t work so hard."
"Oh~"
This response was within Minal’s expectations.
Still, curiosity got the better of Minal, and she asked, "If you go abroad, wouldn’t you and Brother Feng be apart? When will you get married then? After you return?"
"Hmm..."
Pu Sangzhi pondered for a while before responding, "Marriage depends on Huo Feng. I think we’ll get our marriage certificate before going abroad, and separation is inevitable; I’ll prepare him mentally for it."
"Oh~ even you golden couple have times when you’ll separate~"
Minal couldn’t help but sigh, "I bet Brother Feng won’t be willing to let you go, he surely doesn’t want to part! Maybe he’ll even study abroad for you!"
"Such a big decision, I hope he considers it like an adult."
Pu Sangzhi said this, "Marriage is to stabilize him, giving him a sense of security, and it also gives me a sense of security. This way, when I go abroad, he stays here, and I’ll feel at ease. I don’t want him to feel compelled to change his life path for me. What happened with Tsinghua was an example... Though the outcome wasn’t bad, in the end, he still went down the path of entrepreneurship he loved. So, I hope he stays in the country, managing his career, not going abroad for my sake. If he truly wants to study abroad, I hope it’s for himself."
"Hmm..."
Listening to this long passage, Minal had to admit, Sangzhi was indeed very rational about certain matters!
Yet, Minal also admired her rationality. No wonder she could be so self-disciplined and always remain exceptional!
In this respect, Minal felt herself truly inferior!
"I think..."
Minal considered and said, "You’re so outstanding and beautiful, once you go abroad, there’ll surely be a lot of people pursuing you, and they’ll be excellent! Brother Feng is so handsome and capable, if you’re not by his side, there’ll definitely be a bunch of temptations for him! Ah... thinking about it this way, parting with certificates is indeed safer!"
In the dark, Pu Sangzhi pressed her lips together, and a smile appeared on her face, "Right. We should probably marry sooner."
Sooner...
In Pu Sangzhi’s mind, she was calculating to get married immediately after college graduation, and then go abroad.
By then, she’d be a married woman, and Huo Feng would be a married man.
She figured, by the time she completed her studies and returned, Huo Feng would surely have amassed a fortune by then.
She could comfortably return to be his wealthy wife...
Hmm...
She wondered what being the female lead in a CEO novel would feel like?
Maybe she’d experience it once she returned!
Pu Sangzhi was quite looking forward to it.
...
Time flies by quickly when one is busy.
After Huo Feng’s career officially started, things went smoothly without a hitch.
After another half a year, Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan released a large-scale PC game— "Fengshen Region"!
They bought the character rights to the "Investiture of the Gods," spending a large amount of money. They also burned quite a bit of money in game production, distribution, and operation.
However, due to numerous investments in the game, everything proceeded smoothly.
This new eSports game quickly caught fire in the country! Its money-making speed not only surpassed "Let’s Take the College Entrance Exam Together," but was four to five times higher!
In less than half a month post-launch, even celebrities in the entertainment industry started to go crazy over eSports...
Some renowned second-generation wealth on the contemporary rich list even led by spending lots of money, creating countless record-breaking daily revenue for the game!
Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng once again ascended to the pinnacle of the domestic gaming industry as new stars!
A small studio was evidently insufficient to operate two large-scale games, tens of PC games, and hundreds of mobile games!
Therefore, before the start of the first semester of their junior year, Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan transformed their Beijing studio into a company operation.
Yuanfeng Studio was subsequently transformed into Yuanfeng Company!
Beijing became the headquarters, Hangzhou the branch. Beijing was managed by Huo Feng, and Hangzhou by Yan Siyuan.
Since both were still students, there were many areas they couldn’t fully manage due to time constraints.
Thus, they hired professional experts with high salaries to serve as vice presidents, regularly sitting in the vice president’s office at the company.
Of course, aside from these...
By junior year, Pu Sangzhi was already involved in the lab, preparing her paper.
Her preparations for studying abroad hadn’t been fully discussed with Huo Feng, who was busy and hadn’t attended to these matters either.
To Huo Feng, both career and love were important.
So during the first semester of junior year, before his birthday, amid his busy schedule, he carefully prepared his proposal plan.
Because once this year’s birthday passed, he would reach the legal age for marriage.
It was time to get married...
