I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

After driving out of the gate of Qianmin University, Shen Kang planned to drive directly to Wei Shengjun's factory.

When they borrowed the car before, they agreed that whenever Shen Kang wanted to return it, he could simply drive the car to the factory and leave the keys there.

Not long after they drove off, Shen Kang spotted Yin Mingyang's figure at a bus stop in the distance.

Just as he was about to drive over and stop to tell the other person he was leaving, his phone rang. He picked it up and, coincidentally, it was Yin Mingyang calling.

He simply ignored the call and drove straight to the bus stop, where he rolled down the passenger window.

Yin Mingyang had seen this car before, and when he saw Shen Kang leaning his head out from the driver's seat, he immediately hung up the phone, took a step over, looked inside, and exclaimed with surprise, "Wow, Lao Shen, how did you know I needed the car?"

"It's probably because we're on the same wavelength."

As Shen Kang spoke, he looked behind Yin Mingyang.

A man and a woman were also on the bus stop; they were Shi Mengting and Gao Shang, the same people he had met on the day he came to Qianmin University.

"Where are you going?" Shen Kang asked.

Yin Mingyang said, "I was on my way to a fan meeting in Wutai District, at Milk & Coffee. Something came up and I was delayed. If I waited for the next bus, I might not make it in time, so I was thinking of calling you to ask if I could borrow your car. Hey, I didn't expect you to be here right on time. We were really on the same wavelength."

Shen Kang was familiar with the name Milk Coffee; it had gained some recognition in later generations. However, at this point in time, it wasn't famous yet and remained relatively niche.

"You don't have anything important to do, do you?" Yin Mingyang asked after finishing his sentence, the meaning of which was clear—if you don't have anything important to do, then give us a ride. If you do have something important to do, then forget it.

Shen Kang simply said, "Nothing important, get in the car."

At Shen Kang's invitation, Yin Mingyang and the other two got into the car.

When Shi Mengting, who was hired by Su Yali to work at the board game social store, got into the car, she did not greet Shen Kang, the big boss.

This is because, during the few days of employee training, Shen Kang, in order to cultivate Yang Yunhan and the others' abilities as much as possible, did not personally intervene in these specific tasks, but only observed. Therefore, currently, only Su Yali and Yin Mingyang know his identity as the boss of the offline stores at Qianmin University.

After the three got into the car, just like last time, because "Shen Kang's girlfriend is a drama queen," the passenger seat was empty, and the three of them sat in the back, in the same arrangement as before: Gao Shang, Shi Mengting, and Yin Mingyang.

Shen Kang even glanced at the rearview mirror with a gossipy look.

As you can see, the three people in the back seat have different expressions: Yin Mingyang is quite happy, Shi Mengting is relatively calm, while Gao Shang is slightly displeased.

Hey, this is pretty fun.

Shen Kang smiled slightly, started the car, and drove towards Wei Shengjun's factory.

The car was quiet for a moment.

Gao Shang sat in the back seat, glanced ahead, and seemed to be able to see through the back of the seat to the back of Shen Kang's head. His eyes were somewhat irritated.

He found Yin Mingyang's friend quite annoying.

Although the three of them would have to pool their money to take a taxi if Shen Kang didn't come, it was still much better than "Yin Mingyang's friend driving them there in an Audi".

Judging from Shi Mengting's eyes, Yin Mingyang has gained even more points...

While Gao Shang was feeling slightly agitated and displeased, Yin Mingyang struck up a conversation with Shen Kang in front of him: "Old Shen, what were you originally planning to do?"

Shen Kang: "Oh, I'm getting ready to go back to Yangon University of Science and Technology."

Yin Mingyang was taken aback: "What? You didn't tell me this before."

Looking at the road ahead, Shen Kang said, "I was afraid that if you knew, you'd insist on dragging me out for an all-night party or something, so I planned to run away first and then call you to let you know."

"..."

Yin Mingyang thought to himself, "Old Shen understands him best." If he had known that Old Shen was going to slip away today, he would have really wanted to drag him out for an all-nighter, a farewell night—regardless of whether Old Shen liked farewell nights or not, he certainly did.

However, he was still unhappy that Lao Shen said it in front of Shi Mengting, fearing that he would leave Shi Mengting with the impression of a "net addict".

So he chuckled dryly, changed the subject, and skipped that part: "You're overthinking it. I don't like going to internet cafes... So you're planning to drive straight back?... By the way..."

Yin Mingyang suddenly remembered something. "I heard from Lao Guo that you didn't buy an Audi, so where did you get this car?"

Yin Mingyang greatly admires Guo Pinyan, this "successful senior," and has been actively trying to get close to her and learn from her in the past few days.

After learning that this classmate Yin was Shen Kang's best friend, Guo Pinyan was quite enthusiastic.

In particular, when Guo Pinyan learned that Yin Mingyang was also somewhat two-timing, she was overjoyed and considered him a close friend.

The two are birds of a feather, and their relationship has really progressed by leaps and bounds these past few days.

Therefore, Yin Mingyang also learned about some things about Shen Kang at school from Guo Pinyan's perspective.

This included the fact that Shen Kang hadn't actually bought a new Audi, which he casually brought up.

When Yin Mingyang raised this question, Gao Shang, who had been feeling somewhat displeased and agitated, suddenly brightened up and became more alert.

Shen Kang was speechless, thinking to himself, "Old Yin, are you forgetful? Have you forgotten the play I put on with you the day I first came to Qianmin University?"

In the play, you are Young Master Yin, and I am Young Master Shen. This car is one I just bought.

He almost wanted to yell "cut".

However, before Shen Kang could yell "cut," Gao Shang spoke up first, "Shen, I remember you said before that this was your new car?"

Shen Kang thought to himself, "Look, other people's memories are much better than yours."

Yin Mingyang was taken aback, and only then did he finally remember the play that Shen Kang had put on with him on the day he first arrived at Qianmin University.

Oh no, we've been exposed now, how embarrassing. I wonder if Old Shen has any other tricks up his sleeve... Yin Mingyang thought to himself, looking at Shen Kang in front of him as if he were a superman.

"He was just bragging back then."

Shen Kang readily admitted that he had been bragging, and chuckled, "I hadn't seen Lao Yin in a long time, so I borrowed a car to show off in front of him."

Yin Mingyang was deeply moved, thinking to himself, "Old Shen's move of sacrificing a pawn to save the king is truly a sign of a true friend. Old Shen, you're my god!" He then said, "Hey, what's there to pretend about in front of me? Really..."

Gao Shang sat in the back row watching without saying a word.

The guy already admitted he borrowed the car to show off, so what else can he say? It really feels like throwing a punch that lands on cotton – quite frustrating.

Shi Mengting, sitting in the middle of the back seat, suddenly spoke up, "I think renting a car is quite convenient. It's especially helpful if a few friends and I plan to go hiking in the mountains. But Audis are a bit expensive. How much does the cheapest car cost for a day?"

Shen Kang looked up and glanced in the rearview mirror, then said, "Around two or three hundred."

Shi Mengting said, "It's a bit expensive. But if a few people split the cost, it seems okay..."

After Yin Mingyang exposed the "lie" and Gao Shang followed up with another blow, the atmosphere in the car became somewhat awkward. Shen Kang's calm sacrifice of a pawn to save the king eased the tension somewhat. Now, with Shi Mengting bringing up the topic of renting a car, the atmosphere has eased even further.

Feeling the atmosphere ease further, Shi Mengting felt quite comfortable.

She didn't have a good impression of Yin Mingyang's friend, Shen Kang, that day, finding him too pretentious. However, seeing Shen Kang bravely admit that he had only borrowed a car changed her opinion somewhat.

Moreover, the other party did not seem to be a spoiled brat, but just an ordinary college student who liked to save face. This made Shi Mengting feel amused and also closer to him, so she was willing to help him out of the predicament.

Watching and listening from the side, Yin Mingyang sensed the subtle emotions involved and couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes: This is Shi Mengting, this is her. Gentle, considerate, and understanding, she's an angel! *Sobbing*

Shen Kang glanced in the rearview mirror again and saw that Lao Yin's eyes were practically glowing with lust as he stared at Shi Mengting. He cursed inwardly: "You son of a bitch, I've already sacrificed a pawn to save the king, and I haven't seen you this moved..."

The group drove and chatted, and in no time they arrived at Wei Shengjun's factory.

"Aren't we going to Wutai District? Old Shen, what are you doing driving into someone's factory?" Yin Mingyang asked, looking at the factory gate ahead.

Shen Kang said, "Didn't I tell you? You have to return the borrowed car. I'm here to return it."

Gao Shang and Shi Mengting were both taken aback when they heard this: when Shen Kang said that the car was "borrowed", they thought it was borrowed from a car rental company. They didn't expect that it seemed to have been borrowed from someone else.

Yin Mingyang was already used to it, so he wasn't too surprised.

Shen Kang originally planned to drive the car in.

The security guard recognized Mr. Wei's car and opened the automatic sliding gate as soon as he saw it arrive.

Before Shen Kang could even drive the car inside, he saw Wei Shengjun walk out of the factory.

"Everyone, please get off the bus first."

As Shen Kang spoke, he opened the door and got out of the car first.

The car was about to be returned, so Yin Mingyang and the others naturally got out of the car.

After his initial shock, Gao Shang finally realized what was happening. As soon as he got out of the car, he asked impatiently, "Now that we've returned the car, how are we getting to Wutai District? We're running late!"

Yin Mingyang's friend is so unreliable! He said he'd take them to Wutai District, but ended up returning the car there. Is he kidding them? But it's good, it lets Tingting see just how unreliable these two are.

Shen Kang ignored Gao Shang for the moment—Wei Shengjun had already come up to him with a big smile.

"President Wei."

Shen Kang smiled and stepped forward to greet him, "Didn't we agree that I would just come and drop off the car myself? Why did you come all the way out to meet me? It makes me feel a little embarrassed."

Wei Shengjun chuckled and said, "It's quite a coincidence. I was just inspecting the factory when I happened to stroll over here and saw you, Mr. Shen, coming over. It's just a coincidence..."

Seeing the two of them over there, one calling him "President Wei" and the other "President Shen," Gao Shang, who had originally wanted to follow them to continue asking questions, stopped in his tracks, quite surprised.

Wait, Mr. Shen? Isn't this Shen Kang just someone who rents a car to help his friend show off?

After getting out of the car, Shi Mengting stood there, quite surprised by what she saw. She couldn't help but ask Yin Mingyang beside her, "Your friend... President Shen?"

Yin Mingyang puffed out his chest a little. "Yeah. He also owns a few companies and does some business on a regular basis."

Yin Mingyang didn't intend to reveal that Shen Kang was the owner of the board game shop where Shi Mengting would be working.

Yin Mingyang had thought about this matter long ago, but felt it wouldn't be good to say it out loud—the person who was supposed to call him Young Master Yin had turned out to be his superior, how could he make that up?

So unless Shi Mengting asks, he doesn't plan to bring it up on his own.

"Start a few companies, do some business..."

Shi Mengting pondered what Yin Mingyang had said in her mind, and then glanced at the back of Shen Kang, who was exchanging pleasantries with Wei Shengjun.

She had just thought he was an ordinary college student, but it turns out he's a rich kid. This is really confusing.

At this moment, Gao Shang, who was standing to the side, finally came to his senses.

Gao Shang first looked at what was in front of him.

The boss, Mr. Wei, who was talking to Shen Kang, looked rather shrewd, so Gao Shang didn't go over to him immediately. Instead, he took a step closer to Shi Mengting and Yin Mingyang and complained in a low voice, "Yin Mingyang, your friend is so unreliable. He clearly promised to take us to Wutai District, but he came here and returned the car to him. How are we supposed to get there now? It's already this late, and if we try to get a taxi, we don't even know if we'll make it in time."

Yin Mingyang was also a little puzzled: Old Shen is usually quite reliable, so why is he a little unreliable this time?

However, he still chose to believe Shen Kang, "Shen Kang must have thought it through."

Gao Shang continued to sow discord: "What have you decided? I think the most reliable thing to do is to call a taxi as soon as possible."

While they were talking about the car, Wei Shengjun and Shen Kang exchanged a few pleasantries and then also started talking about the car.

"...Mr. Shen, are you going back to school? You returned the car to me, it's inconvenient to go back to school now."

Wei Shengjun made a suggestion, "How about this, I'll call the driver over and take you back to school first."

This is also the main reason why Wei Shengjun came today—to see things through to the end and make sure everything is arranged properly. Otherwise, if he made President Shen take a taxi back to the school, it would make him seem like he doesn't know how to behave.

After saying that, Wei Shengjun glanced at Yin Mingyang and the others, "Those are your friends, President Shen, right? It must be uncomfortable for everyone to squeeze in. I'll call another car over and send them all off together."

Wei Shengjun didn't know where those students were going, but it didn't matter; he'd already sent them off even if they were going out of the province.

Shen Kang smiled and expressed his gratitude, "Thanks, Mr. Wei, but there's no need to trouble you any further. A car is coming to pick us up."

As he spoke, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye and turned to look at the left side of the street.
