Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 364 - 160: Earning Ten Million a Day, Rumors Flying Around at the Finance Academy_3

As soon as the call connected, Lin Yuwei spoke hurriedly, "Boss, are you in Modu? There’s something I need to report to you in person."

Li Yuan asked, "Is it about the Zhihu website? How are the preparations for the closed beta coming along?"

Lin Yuwei flattered him with a laugh. "You guessed it, Boss. The website has been set up exactly to your specifications. All the modules are built, and the servers are running normally.

"Everything is ready; we’re just waiting for your green light. As soon as you give the order, we’ll start inviting people for the closed beta. Once that’s successful, we can prepare for the market launch.

"Xie Zheng, Hu Zhenqiang, and I have discussed it and would like to ask for your final approval. After that, we can finalize the plans for the closed beta and the public launch, including marketing strategies to increase registrations, as well as subsequent operations and maintenance."

Li Yuan had been preoccupied with his love life lately, not to mention he’d just made tens of millions of yuan. He wasn’t paying much attention to the website, at most calling occasionally to ask about its progress. After all, Datang Technology and the White Jade Capital studio were just entrepreneurial ventures he’d started on a whim. Success would be great, but he wasn’t particularly bothered by the thought of failure.

However, I am curious to test a theory. In my past life, people always said that if you catch the right trend, even a pig can fly. I know about several of these upcoming trends, which is like having a cheat code. With ample funds to back me up, I want to see if a complete business novice like me can be swept up by the winds of change...

"Alright, I’ll be in Modu in a bit. Notify the staff that we’ll have a meeting at three this afternoon. I’ll outline our work for the near future."

"Understood, Boss," Lin Yuwei replied, then added something that made Li Yuan’s heart lurch.

"Oh, and Boss, Secretary Xia just dropped by the company."

Li Yuan’s heart sank. After returning from Demon Mountain City, he had gone to Sucheng under the pretext of handling company business. He hadn’t expected Xia Zhijin, who hadn’t been to the office for a while, to suddenly show up today.

Is Zhijin here to check up on me? Does she suspect something, or did someone tell her? Now that Liu Jia, Xu Zhi, Wang Shuai, Li Zixia, Zhong Tingyue, Ding Shanshan, Xu Tingrou, and so many others know I’m dating multiple women, I’ve lost any sense of security. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Xia Zhijin or even Jiang Zhiyu found out, too. As the saying goes, ’walk by the riverside long enough, and your shoes are bound to get wet.’ I may have been reborn, but my skill level in these matters hasn’t improved much from my past life. At best, my pockets are deeper and I have more confidence...

"Hmm, I understand," Li Yuan instructed Lin Yuwei. "Help her out when you have a moment. She’s only a freshman and still has a lot to learn."

Lin Yuwei pursed her lips into a subtle smirk and asked probingly, "Received, Boss. We’ll definitely take good care of the boss’s lady."

Li Yuan understood her implication and simply laughed without refuting it. "Okay, that’s all for now. I’m hanging up."

"Okay, bye, Boss."

After hanging up, Lin Yuwei glanced at Xia Zhijin, who was diligently printing materials nearby, and chuckled to herself. The boss’s girlfriend is dressed so simply, but her pure and stunning looks have a unique, deadly charm. It’s the kind of beauty that makes even other women want to protect her. If everyone in the company didn’t already know she was the boss’s girlfriend, a lot of the single guys would definitely be chasing after her. And besides Secretary Xia, the boss’s other girlfriend is also incredibly beautiful. I’m not old, and I like to think I’m reasonably attractive—a beauty, more or less. But when I compare myself to the boss’s two girlfriends, I immediately pale in comparison. We’re not even in the same league... Sigh, comparisons are maddening. When will I ever find a rich second-generation boyfriend like the boss? It would be so nice to just relax and not have to work overtime during the National Day holiday...

「As Li Yuan went to find Zhong Tingyue.」

In dorm room A1414 at the Finance Academy, Xu Tingrou, Ding Shanshan, Wang Lisha, and Deng Meiqi were gathered together, discussing a rumor spreading through the school that concerned the reputations of Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi.

Ding Shanshan cursed, her voice filled with anger, "Who could be so malicious, spreading rumors about Tingyue? If I find out who it is, I swear I’ll rip them to shreds."

Xu Tingrou also frowned deeply. Just moments before, they had learned from other girls in their class that a rumor was being spread secretly. It claimed that two campus beauties from the same dorm shared a boyfriend, with both women vying for the same man. The rumor even branded one of them a homewrecker who had interfered in her roommate’s relationship.

Although no names were mentioned, everyone knew that "the school beauties’ dorm" at the Finance Academy was a clear reference to dorm 1314, and that the two beauties in question were Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi.

Wang Lisha, Deng Meiqi, and the others thought about the relationship between Bai Weixi, Zhong Tingyue, and Li Yuan. They felt angry but also helpless, because the rumor was terrifyingly accurate. Even from their perspective, it was almost entirely true, with only a few minor discrepancies. They knew from the comments on Bai Weixi’s QQ Space that she and Li Yuan had indeed been high school classmates for three years and were often seen together as a pair. Furthermore, Li Yuan had always attended school in that small county in Northern Anhui, so it was impossible for him to have been classmates with Zhong Tingyue before college.

Wang Lisha furrowed her brow. "Tingyue went back to her hometown in Sucheng, and we can’t get in touch with her. I wonder if Li Yuan went to find her. As for Weixi, she hasn’t come back to the dorm at all, so she probably doesn’t even know what’s going on yet."
