Campus Ace Girl

Gu Anxi looked at Mrs. Bo for a long time without speaking.

So Mrs. Bo understood, sighed, and didn’t say anything else...

On the other side, Wang Kefu was waiting for the end of the workday. He never took his job seriously and just clocked in for the sake of it.

He was listless at work, but the moment it was time to go home, he perked up and immediately called Lin Shuang: "Xiao Lin, it’s quitting time. How about grabbing a bite to eat together? Kegui and I are all set."

Over there, Lin Shuang hesitated a little before speaking: "I still have some work to do. How about a little later?"

Wang Kefu immediately said, "Of course, Xiao Lin, just tell me what time works for you."

Lin Shuang thought for a moment: "About nine o’clock."

Wang Kefu slapped his thigh: "Then let’s go for a drink. Kegui has been working so hard lately, it’s a chance for him to relax. Xiao Lin, don’t feel any pressure; you and Kegui were a perfect match back then. It’s a shame it didn’t work out, so I want to take care of you. Don’t overthink it; it’s just a small drink and a catch-up."

Lin Shuang gave a faint smile.

Wang Kefu slapped his thigh again: "Alright, it’s settled. We’ll pick you up at nine. Girls should be treated with special care."

A man like him, used to living a life of luxury, had no other skills, but had plenty of charisma when it came to winning women over.

In truth, apart from stirring things up, he did have a unique sentiment for Lin Shuang. On one hand, she resembled Lu Heng; on the other, he felt his brother Kegui was living too hard a life, and the woman he’d longed for was right in front of him, yet he didn’t dare approach her... He... he sympathized with his brother.

Wang Kefu felt he did a great deed. He whistled over to Wang Kegui’s office and sat his large figure by the desk conspiratorially: "Precious You, do you know what big thing I’ve done for you?"

Wang Kegui was so busy he couldn’t stay still, engrossed in files. Recently, he had been learning from Anxi, feeling he could still work harder on his career. He was quite motivated.

Wang Kefu leaned closer and lowered his voice: "I got you a date with Xiao Lin, nine o’clock at a bar, don’t miss it."

"What?" Wang Kegui looked up, a bit surprised at his older brother: "Did you seriously arrange that? You’re kidding, right?"

Wang Kefu wasn’t pleased: "What’s kidding about it? You didn’t object downstairs this morning. Alright, alright, you’re so high-minded you don’t mess around. Then call Xiao Lin personally right now, explain that you’re all about staying pure, you have no female friends, tell her not to overthink, that you won’t see each other anymore nor do business with her company. Isn’t that more fitting for the image of Chairman Wang being so pure? Gu Xiufen wouldn’t worry then either, right?"

After his spiel, Wang Kegui just glared at him.

Wang Kefu chuckled: "Feeling guilty?"

Wang Kegui gave a faint snort: "What would I feel guilty about? It’s just a catch-up."

"That’s the spirit!" Wang Kefu patted his shoulder: "A grown man shouldn’t be so bashful, afraid a woman would take advantage of you. If it were me, I’d be overjoyed if Xiao Lin wanted to take advantage of me. You can’t be doing this!"

He spoke, then lamented: "Kegui, just between us brothers, let me say something from the heart. You’re a straight shooter, fulfilling all your duties to your wife, no complaints. You’ve even sorted out the messes I’ve made over the years, though you never say a thing. And now we’ve made some money... there’s nothing much else... just a little token."

Saying this, he slipped a check into Wang Kegui’s pocket. Wang Kegui took it out and was terrified at the amount.

But Wang Kefu waved it off generously: "Take it."

More emotionally, he added: "Actually, sometimes, I really do feel for you."

Patting him, and then giving him a hug: "Use this money and have a good time with Xiao Lin... As for Gu Xiufen, I’ll keep things under wraps for you."

Wang Kegui’s lips moved: "Big brother, I don’t mean..."

"What, not satisfied?" Wang Kefu pretended to be angry: "With Xiao Lin like this, do you know how many men desire her? Stop with all this nonsense. A man has to have money. With money in your pocket, stand tall and proud."

Finishing, he strutted out, striking an amusing pose as he did.

At this moment, he felt like he was shining bright; at this moment, he felt like he was basking in the highlight of his life, never more so than now... Hmm, he was a good brother, despite being utterly useless.

Inside, Wang Kegui clutched the check. Behind the number 1 were so many zeros.

Billions.

Money he couldn’t spend in a lifetime.

He admitted that he was a bit tempted at that moment, but he quickly restrained himself...

Afterward, Chairman Wang’s work was always absent-minded, full of mistakes, to the point that his secretary couldn’t take it anymore: "Chairman Wang, are you too tired? How about going back to rest and checking it out tomorrow?"

Wang Kegui glanced at the time, closed the file: "Is Vice Chairman Wang still around?"

The secretary smiled: "I saw him going downstairs when I came in; he said he’d wait for you at the parking lot."

Wang Kegui adjusted his glasses, smiled, and stood up: "Alright, let’s talk tomorrow then."

The secretary acknowledged, then suddenly added: "Chairman Wang’s wife called just now, asking if you had left work."

Wang Kegui’s body paused.

The secretary seemed to catch on to something and immediately said: "I told her you were working late, had a small meeting to attend, and it might be quite late."

Wang Kegui glanced at her but said nothing more...

The secretary’s heart raced, she had a hunch: Her boss’s marriage was in trouble!

She heard that Manager Lin and Chairman Wang were old acquaintances, separated by circumstances, and now she’s back... Perhaps Chairman Wang can’t hold back anymore.

Wang Kegui went downstairs and saw Wang Kefu’s plump hand beckoning from the car window: "Kegui, over here."

Wang Kegui opened the car door and got in: "You’re driving?"

Wang Kefu turned his head to glance at him: "For this kind of social engagement, how can you let the driver tag along? The missus would catch on right away. Of course, today it’s for you; I don’t have a wife to watch over me now. Your sister-in-law became our driver’s wife."

Thinking about it, he got angry again. If it weren’t for Gu Xiufen’s meddling, his wife would still be his – how did she end up with the driver?

So, Wang Kefu was urging his brother to go wild, enough to enrage that Gu woman...

After driving for ten minutes, they arrived at Lin Shuang’s company building. It was a new enterprise, headquartered in Beicheng, and Lin Shuang had recently been transferred to this branch. Wang Kefu parked the car and made a phone call, warmly saying: "Xiao Lin, Kegui and I are downstairs in front of your building. Want to come down now?"
