I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

In nightclubs, Zong Shijie has encountered situations where he was alone with five girls at the same time, and all five girls were vying for him, and he had to choose one to take away.

He had never encountered a one-against-twelve situation.

Of course, nightclubs have their advantages—in nightclubs, you can see and touch all the girls.

The website that Shen Kang created is invisible and intangible.

If it were an ordinary college student, most would choose to face five girls at the same time in a nightclub, but Zong Shijie is not an ordinary college student.

He's a rich kid, and he's had his fill of fun.

Those things that can be seen, touched, and taken away immediately no longer hold much appeal for Zong Shijie.

On the contrary, he found the things that were invisible, intangible, and full of imagination more interesting.

This is somewhat like someone who has eaten too much meat and fish and wants to eat some vegetables and tofu.

Moreover, according to Shen Kang's way of playing, it's still one against twelve!

"It's a pair of twelve."

Shen Kang answered Zong Shijie.

"I find this all very interesting!" Zong Shijie's eyes gleamed with excitement, then he exclaimed, "Old Shen, when we were chatting earlier, I thought you were different from us, a gentleman, when you mentioned you weren't interested in nightclubs. I never imagined you were the real party animal!"

"...You may have misunderstood. I am truly a gentleman," Shen Kang said. "Besides, this wasn't my idea; it was the idea of ​​a friend of mine."

"Mmm, mmm." Zong Shijie nodded haphazardly, not taking Shen Kang's feeble excuse to heart.

Everyone knows that "a friend of mine" equals "me".

Afterwards, Zong Shijie didn't dwell on whether Shen Kang was a true gentleman or not, and asked with great interest, "Then, can I participate in your 'If You Are the One' show?"

Zong Shijie isn't very interested in these things online; he prefers to have fun in real life.

However, since Shen Kang has come up with such a fun thing, he naturally doesn't mind playing it online.

Upon hearing this, Shen Kang glanced at Zhao Ruyuan, who was standing next to Zong Shijie.

Zong Shijie followed Shen Kang's gaze and turned to look, only then remembering that he had brought his girlfriend along today. After thinking for a moment, he explained, "Honey, you heard what Lao Shen said earlier, right? He's organizing this event to sell secondhand items. I just met Lao Shen today, and we hit it off immediately. Since it's a project he's working on, I definitely want to support him. So, I'm just selling secondhand items to support Lao Shen; there's nothing else to it."

What else could Zhao Ruyuan say? Zong Shijie was willing to give her an explanation, and the explanation was indeed plausible; that was enough.

Zhao Ruyuan then gave a smile and said, "It's okay, I understand."

Zong Shijie was also very satisfied: "Baby, you are so considerate." He thought to himself that he would take Zhao Ruyuan out shopping tonight and buy her some gifts.

Then he turned his head and looked at Shen Kang.

Seeing that the young couple had no objections, Shen Kang didn't say anything. "Okay, this activity wasn't limited to any particular school. I'll register you when I get back to school."

Hearing this, Liu Jing, who was standing to the side, suddenly changed her expression and said, "Old Shen, I have something about Lao Guo that I want to ask you." As she spoke, she gestured to Shen Kang and walked outside.

Shen Kang followed.

The two didn't go far; after leaving the room for a short distance, Liu Jing stopped.

She glanced around the room to make sure no one had come out before whispering, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for someone like Zong Shijie to participate in your event?"

She was afraid Shen Kang wouldn't understand, so she added, "If he acts particularly affectionate and is a rich second-generation, some girls might be bewitched by him. If they really start dating, given Zong Shijie's personality... he might dump that girl very quickly. If that girl feels she's been deceived, she'll think your website is an accomplice. If she's really upset and makes a big scene, your website will be in trouble too, right?"

Shen Kang was somewhat surprised, then nodded. "Thank you for reminding me. That's certainly a possibility. So, in addition to the male and female participants, there will also be a host and guests for this event. The host will control the flow of the event, and the guests will be there to address the issue you raised."

"Take Zong Shijie as an example. If Zong Shijie really appears on our event later, the guests will analyze him from the sidelines and remind the girls that he is a playboy. If even so, there are still girls who are willing to hold hands with him... I mean, if they are willing to meet him offline and trade second-hand items with him, that is the girls' own choice."

"Like Zhao Ruyuan, doesn't she know what kind of person Zong Shijie is?"

Shen Kang shook his head. "No, she knows, but she still wants to be with Zong Shijie. It's a willing match, so what can we outsiders say?"

"Guest..." Liu Jing pondered for a moment, then gave a self-deprecating laugh: "It seems I was overthinking it. You've already considered everything. I was just being nosy."

Shen Kang shook his head again, looking at her sincerely, "No. The fact that you can say these things shows that you truly consider me a friend, and I'm quite touched. Thank you again."

Liu Jing crossed her arms dramatically and rubbed them twice, as if she were rubbing off non-existent goosebumps. "That was pretty sentimental, it gave me goosebumps. I've said what I needed to say, let's go."

After saying that, he quickly went back to his room.

Shen Kang stared at Liu Jing's retreating figure for a while, feeling quite conflicted. He wanted to tell Liu Jing that Guo, that beast, had another girlfriend, but on the other hand, Guo Pinyan was also his friend. He was caught in a dilemma, torn between loyalty to his family and loyalty to his country…

"……well!"

Shen Kang finally sighed and followed after them, his head aching.

It's all because of love!

If Guo Pinyan hadn't dated Liu Jing, wouldn't he have avoided all these headaches? So, dating is the root of all evil, comrades, absolutely do not date!

Back in his room, Shen Kang glared fiercely at Guo Pinyan.

But Guo Pinyan was busy sniffing the beans with the technician, her eyes narrowed, and she didn't notice at all. Shen Kang was just throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind man.

Shen Kang then looked at Zong Shijie.

Zong Shijie stood there lost in thought, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips, as if he were contemplating something wonderful.

In fact, Zong Shijie was indeed thinking about something wonderful at that moment—he was thinking about secondhand items.

This dating show, "If You Are the One," is centered around, or rather, superficially based on, the trading of secondhand goods. Therefore, if Zong Shijie wants to appear on "If You Are the One," he needs to prepare a secondhand item to sell first.

What secondhand items should I prepare?

Zong Shijie also pondered this matter deeply.

He has quite a few secondhand items that he can sell, but he has higher requirements for them.

After all, according to Shen Kang, it wouldn't just be the twelve girls on the other side. Hundreds, even thousands, of students across the entire forum would be watching!

Hundreds or thousands.

Good heavens, when I usually show off in nightclubs, I only have a few dozen or a hundred people in my audience at most.

If I could produce a unique and amazing item, and once I announced that I was selling a second-hand item, it would shock the twelve girls opposite me and the students around me. Wouldn't that be incredibly awesome?

Zong Shijie could almost picture that scene:

I'll take the stage myself.

At first, everyone thought this was just a regular secondhand goods transaction, like the person selling secondhand notebooks before that, or the person selling secondhand bicycles before that.

In everyone's eyes, I am just an ordinary person.

Then, he revealed the secondhand items he wanted to sell.

The twelve girls on the other end were stunned and started typing, asking if they were joking.

The hundreds or even thousands of students watching were also stunned, and they all typed their shock in the chat.

Zong Shijie had even thought about what words those people would type:

"Really?!"

"He actually sells this kind of thing? That's outrageous!"

"Who can afford this?"

……

But the story doesn't end there.

According to Zong Shijie's script, the real climax of this matter is yet to come:

Faced with everyone's shock, he seized the opportunity to announce some new information: "Just like the purpose proposed by my good friend, the creator of this website, when he started this event, I am selling this second-hand item not to get a high price, but to find someone who truly appreciates it."

Okay, I need to type this out in advance, put it in Notepad, and send it out at the exact moment. It needs to be typos-free and sound nonchalant, that's what makes it sophisticated.

Then it was time to recite poems.

"The priceless treasure of Yi."

"It's hard to find someone you're destined to be with."

Yes, these two sentences should be typed separately to make them look more sophisticated.

Finally, here is the concluding statement.

"As long as it ends up in the hands of someone who truly understands it, the price it fetches is irrelevant, and I don't care."

"Therefore, it's sold for one dollar."

The main point is to appear nonchalant and indifferent to money, subtly showing off one's wealth.

The hundreds or thousands of students watching will likely be completely stunned. After a brief silence, they'll explode and start typing furiously.

Zong Shijie also thought of the characters that everyone could type back then:

"I'm bowing down to the rich!"

"This thing only costs one dollar?! I don't understand the world of the rich!"

"Big brother, do you still take on underlings?"

"Don't be too rigid about gender; I can do it too!"

"Poverty has limited my imagination!"

……

The twelve girls opposite him were equally shocked and captivated, completely succumbing to his charm, and all twelve girls began vying for his attention.

This kind of showing off,

Showing off in front of so many people

Isn't that more enjoyable than going to a nightclub for a full-service massage or getting a foot massage with the Ace of Spades?

As Zong Shijie pondered this, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed and burst into laughter, which is why Shen Kang saw him smiling absentmindedly when he came in.
