I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Neither Zong Shijie nor Zang Xuejiao are particularly attractive.

At this moment, the first interview footage of Shen Kang on the television screen was a handsome profile.

In Stephen Chow's "Flirting Scholar", there is a famous scene:

When Tang Bohu first met Qiu Xiang, he thought she was quite ordinary. After all, Tang Bohu had a bunch of concubines at home, each one more beautiful than the last.

However, when a few of the other mischievous friends shouted "Beautiful lady!", a bunch of monsters turned around, and Qiu Xiang was mixed in among them...

Tang Bohu immediately realized that this woman was truly a beauty of unparalleled grace!

Here, Zong Shijie and Zang Xuejiao are passively transformed into "demons and monsters," while Shen Kang becomes "Qiu Xiang."

He's quite handsome.

This is the first impression of the men and women present when they saw the legendary Empress Shen Kang.

This is also why many people, including Ye Jintong, think "Shen Kang looks like that"—it's all because Shen Kang always appears with He Qiuzhu.

With He Qiuzhu's looks absolutely overwhelming, He Qiuzhu naturally becomes "Qiuxiang," while Shen Kang is crushed into "a demon."

It's all He Qiuzhu's fault!

Besides being "handsome," the second impression that the men and women present had of the legendary Shen Kang was that he was "high-end."

Previously, all interviews with Zong Shijie and Zang Xuejiao took place in a school setting.

At this moment, the first scene of the interview with Shen Kang was a large hotel with many banners hanging on it, which immediately made it seem more upscale.

"This is Shen Kang, the creator of the Beiming Community. He's representing Yangcheng University of Science and Technology in the National College Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. However, unexpectedly, some unforeseen circumstances have arisen..."

There was a boy standing next to the sofa where Tong Enkang was sitting.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but complain: "There's even a suspenseful twist, it's like a TV drama."

A beautiful woman next to me chimed in, "That's exactly what 'People's Focus' is like. They can make even the most ordinary little thing seem dramatic. My mom loves watching it."

Only a very small number of people spoke; the majority watched quietly with great interest.

The television screen then moved on to the following turning point.

In a high-end-looking restaurant, Shen Kang stood by a table, surrounded by a group of middle-aged men of all kinds, each of them looking quite imposing.

These people came over one by one to shake hands and exchange pleasantries with Shen Kang. However, the words of the pleasantries were not recorded; only off-screen voices were heard.

"In addition to the university student innovation and entrepreneurship competition, an industry conference is also being held at this hotel these past two days..."

The voice-over briefly explained why Shen Kang got to know these business owners who attended the industry conference.

At the same time, it also revealed some new information—it turns out that Shen Kang is not only the founder of the campus website Beiming Community, but also the founder of Anjia Household Services, which has recently gained fame in Yangcheng.

The image is everything

Sitting in front of the camera, General Manager Chen Kexu spoke earnestly: "I often tell people that General Manager Shen is my idol. In just six months, he started from scratch and built a housekeeping brand. But when I actually met General Manager Shen, I was still quite surprised..."

The show "People's Focus" initially filmed a lot of footage of business owners, but the program was only so long, and the interviews with the business owners weren't important, so a lot of footage was cut, leaving only footage of two business owners.

While watching this scene, a boy in the villa's living room recognized Chen Kexu from the video.

"Isn't this Mr. Chen? I saw him before when my dad took me out for drinks."

Many others were discussing it animatedly.

"Anjia Housekeeping? I've used their services at home before, and they were really good."

"Doing things like this in just one year of college? These young people these days... You can't deny you're getting old."

There are all sorts of opinions.

People's kindness towards Shen Kang grew even stronger.

Lan Qin stared at the TV screen, thinking about "Anjia Housekeeping".

She was Miss Lan.

According to her mother, the intention was to launch a full-scale attack, not only to remove the things at Shen Kang's school, but also to block Anjia Household Services. However, after doing the math, it was found that if Anjia Household Services were to be targeted, firstly, gloves would be hard to find, and secondly, the estimated investment would be too large. Therefore, they decided to put that aside for now and focus on blocking things on the school grounds first, cutting off one wing of the attack.

Making Shen Kang fail once should be enough to leave some people with the impression that "this kid is just so-so".

If that's still not enough, then we'll figure out another way to cut off Shen Kang's other leg as well.

"I just don't know if the cost will be even higher if we drag it out and take action later..." Lan Qin thought to herself subconsciously.

But soon she stopped thinking about it—hey, she only gets tens of thousands of yuan in pocket money a month, why bother thinking about these things?

She should really think about how to save as much money as possible while completing the task; that's the important thing.

Lan Qin put these things out of her mind and continued reading with great interest.

To be honest, this guy is quite the troublemaker, he's got a lot of fun. He's also quite skilled at getting things done; without you even realizing it, he finds a unique way to solve a problem. To be honest, she admires him a little. If she could, she'd really like to be friends with him.

Meanwhile, the program continued to unfold on television.

Shen Kang attended an industry conference and delivered a passionate speech on stage, which was met with thunderous applause.

Shen Kang accepted a solo interview, sitting on a single sofa with his hands clasped loosely in front of his lower abdomen, looking calm and quite stylish.

The voice was also steady and powerful.

"...I have always believed that technology exists to serve humanity and improve people's lives. This is also true of 'If You Are the One.' We are exploring a new model, hoping to leverage technological advancements and new forms of expression to further promote environmental protection and integrate it into people's lives..."

A young man, roughly the same age as them, handsome and capable, spoke confidently and eloquently on television, discussing business models and environmental protection...

I must say, this scene was quite stylish.

In the villa's living room, many men watched with envy, wishing they could take his place. Many women, on the other hand, had sparkling eyes, secretly thinking how handsome he was, perfectly embodying their image of a domineering CEO.

However, during Shen Kang's personal interview, a sentence he uttered made everyone in the audience pause for a moment.

"...Protect the Earth? No, I don't think the Earth needs protection."

?

The current mainstream opinion is that protecting the Earth and protecting the environment is absolutely the right thing to do.

Is it really okay to say "I don't think the Earth needs protection" on TV? And the TV station actually aired it?

Shen Kang on TV continued speaking.

"Humans overestimate themselves. In reality, I believe that all the so-called destruction humans have caused is merely scratching the surface of the Earth. My desire to do environmental protection isn't about protecting the Earth, but about protecting humanity itself—complete environmental destruction won't harm the Earth, but it could kill humanity. This isn't noble; it's simply self-preservation. Of course, my current strength is still too small, so I can only start with things within my power, such as promoting the use of secondhand trading among university students..."

The men and women present all had their eyes light up.

In mainstream public opinion today, the significance of promoting environmental protection is described as protecting and saving the Earth.

This was the first time they'd heard someone say, "What the hell does the Earth need protecting? Even if all of humanity died, the Earth would still be perfectly fine." They continued, "We're doing environmental protection not for some nonsense about saving the Earth, but to save ourselves."

These young people are all around twenty years old, a time when they are still somewhat rebellious. Many of them subconsciously reject mainstream preaching.

Shen Kang's statement, though unconventional, hit their sweet spot, making them think, "Wow, that's pretty cool."

He also became increasingly interested in Shen Kang.

Some people couldn't wait to ask, "Zong Shijie, are you very familiar with this Shen Kang? When are you going to invite him out so we can all get to know each other and have a get-together?"

This statement immediately garnered the approval of many people.

"Yeah yeah."……

Zong Shijie patted his chest and said, "Okay, I'll definitely call him out so everyone can get to know him when I have the chance."

Before, Tong Enkang had looked down on Shen Kang, saying he was like an old man and not one of their kind.

But now, I realize that having a friend like Shen Kang is actually quite nice. Aren't there plenty of friends we can go racing with and clubbing with? But friends like Shen Kang are truly rare; it seems like he's the only one for me right now.

……

Yangko University of Science and Technology male dormitory area

Feng Moquan, Jin Chao, and Wang Pan were still pinned down on the wooden sofa by Shen Kang and Jiang Yateng, unable to move.

On the television, a solo interview with Shen Kang was being broadcast.

Wang Pan closed his eyes in pain.

He doesn't want to watch, he doesn't want to watch! Seeing Old Shen showing off on TV now is worse than killing him!

Shen Kang noticed Wang Pan's subtle movements.

"Old Chiang, pry open his eyelids!"

"Alright!"

Jiang Yateng initially came to flatter Wang Pan, but after playing around for a while, he found it amusing himself. He especially found it hilarious to see Wang Pan's pained expression and closed eyes.

Immediately, he pressed down on Wang Pan with his body and then reached out to pry open Wang Pan's eyelids.

Wang Pan shook his head and dodged, but finally couldn't take it anymore and begged for mercy, "Alright, alright, I'll see, I'll see, okay? Stop it!"

Then, he looked at the television with a pained expression.

Just then, Shen Kang said, "The Earth doesn't need protection; humanity overestimates itself. I'm just doing my bit to save ourselves."

Wang Pan was in even more pain, his face showing utter despair.

He really wants to be on TV and say things like that, to act all high and mighty like that!

Page 358

After playing around for a while, Shen Kang and the others were all tired.

Furthermore, since Feng Moquan and the others had already received the "punishment" they deserved, Shen Kang let them go and got off Feng Moquan and Jin Chao.

He also called out to Jiang Yateng, "Alright, Lao Jiang."

Jiang Yateng was also really tired. Hearing Shen Kang's words, he let go, got off Wang Pan, and looked around to see if there was anywhere to sit.

In the living room of the large dormitory, there are three wooden sofas arranged in a triangular pattern.

The middle one is a long wooden sofa that can seat three or four people. Shen Kang and the others were playing around on this long wooden sofa.

The two wooden sofas on the left and right are single wooden sofas.

Now Liu Songping and Duan Hao are sitting on the two wooden sofas on the left and right, one on each side.

Feng Moquan and Wang Pan were slumped over the wooden sofa in the middle, with nowhere else to sit. So Jiang Yateng could only plop down on the armrest of the single wooden sofa where Duan Hao was sitting, panting and trying to catch his breath.

Shen Kang, like him, plopped down on the armrest of the single wooden sofa where Liu Songping was sitting, adjusting his breathing, and said to Feng Moquan and the others, "Alright, if you want to run, then run. Hurry up and make room for them."

Feng Moquan had already subconsciously wanted to leave, and his buttocks were already raised.

Upon hearing Shen Kang's words, he thought to himself, "Wait a minute. I've already seen it all, and Old Shen has peed all over my face. What's the point of running away now? It would only make me look petty and like I can't stand seeing my brother."

Besides, Old Shen and that accomplice Jiang Yateng have nowhere to sit right now. If I leave, wouldn't that make room for them, just as they want?

Thinking this through, Feng Moquan, who had just lifted his buttocks, lowered them again. "Look at what you're saying, Lao Shen. Why are we running? We're not running."

Jin Chao thought so too, and said, "Yeah, why run? We're not running."

Wang Pan's words were the most vulgar, almost laced with rage: "I've already eaten half of this shit, let me taste what the rest is like."

Shen Kang praised Wang Pan's witty analogy: "Brother Pan is really cultured." He didn't care at all about Wang Pan comparing him to shit - Brother Pan has already eaten shit, why are you arguing with him?

Meanwhile, the television program was still playing.

"...Green mountains and clear waters...gold and silver mountains..."

?

When Shen Kang heard himself say those words on the TV, he was stunned. He turned his head to look, and then he remembered something—he seemed to have gotten carried away with his boasting and said all sorts of things.

However, this statement is indeed very wise.

Jiang Yateng, sitting opposite him, suddenly exclaimed in praise, "Old Shen, your words are insightful!"

"..."

Shen Kang felt he needed to get an executive jacket right now.

Hmm, get one for Old Chiang too.

Wang Pan sneered, inwardly despising Jiang Yateng and sighing: How did Old Jiang become such a sycophant? We're all classmates, isn't this just making yourself look bad?

Like me, Wang Pan, Brother Pan, I never give Lao Shen any face, and I would never flatter Lao Shen! Wang Pan thought this with pride.

……

At the same time, in the living room of the girls' dormitory, the television was on, and there were some devices and computers nearby, all recording simultaneously.

On the television screen, there was a solo interview with Shen Kang, where he was speaking eloquently.

Li Qiaoling pulled a chair out of the dormitory and is now sitting on it, looking around.

Not just her, there are many people in the living room now.

All three wooden sofas were occupied. Several other girls, like Li Qiaoling, had brought chairs from their dorm rooms to sit and watch.

There are a total of twelve people in this large dormitory, and at this moment, nine of them are sitting in the living room watching.

Eating melons is human nature.

Everyone came to see He Qiuzhu's boyfriend.

As for He Qiuzhu's boyfriend, whom she saw in person on TV, Li Qiaoling's assessment was—not bad.

Before watching TV tonight, Li Qiaoling had already imagined He Qiuzhu's boyfriend: he must be incredibly handsome, so that he would be a good match for He Qiuzhu in terms of appearance. Following the traditional dynamic of a strong man and a weak woman, his family background must be extremely wealthy, the kind of super-rich second-generation heir with assets starting at hundreds of millions. He himself must also be very capable, a top figure at school…

In short, in Li Qiaoling's imagination, He Qiuzhu's boyfriend was the standard template of a young, domineering CEO from romance novels, which was exactly what she wanted.

Now, this Shen Kang...

Although he's only moderately handsome and doesn't look like a super-rich second-generation heir, the fact that he's built up these businesses in his freshman year suggests he must have some family wealth and be quite capable himself. Overall, he's a lower-budget version of the "He Qiuzhu's boyfriend" that Li Qiaoling imagined.

So, it's alright.

I thought to myself silently.

Different people have different ideas.

A girl named Zhang Peipei, who moved a chair and sat next to Fu Rong, had a different opinion from Li Qiaoling. Zhang Peipei felt that although Shen Kang was alright, he was not a good match for He Qiuzhu.

So Zhang Peipei began to get restless.

Zhang Peipei considers herself a very warm-hearted person towards her friends, and there are examples to prove it:

Zhang Peipei has a female classmate from junior high school with whom she has a very good relationship; they are best friends.

This female classmate from junior high school didn't do well in school, so she didn't continue her studies after graduating and instead went to work. During her work, she met a boyfriend.

In the first half of this year, that female classmate and her boyfriend were preparing to get married. Although the female classmate was only 19 years old and the man was also 19, neither of them had reached the legal age, they could hold a wedding banquet first and then register their marriage in two years.

This kind of thing is quite common in Qianlin Province.

After learning about this, Zhang Peipei was happy for her friend and learned more, including about the other party's family background and the bride price.

According to the female classmate, the groom's family was of modest means; they were a rural family and didn't own a house in the county town. As for the bride price, they had prepared 36,000 yuan.

When Zhang Peipei heard this, she felt that the other person was not good enough for her female classmate.

However, Zhang Peipei was quite understanding and could tell that the female classmate was quite satisfied with that boy, so instead of saying it directly, she went around in circles and used other people as examples.

"Thirty-six thousand is too little. My neighbor's sister isn't even as pretty as you, and her circumstances aren't as good as yours, but she received eighty-eight thousand in betrothal gifts when she got married..."

At the time, Zhang Peipei's female classmate was filled with the joy of her upcoming marriage when she sent Zhang Peipei her wedding invitation.

But after Zhang Peipei's phone call, she was no longer so happy.

Seeing this, Zhang Peipei gave her an idea.

"Here's what you'll do: tell him the bride price is increased to 88,000."

The female classmate hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's already been agreed upon, and his family probably can't afford it."

Zhang Peipei said at the time, "It's not like he really wants to marry you; it's just about his attitude. If he really likes you, he'll definitely say yes, and then you can marry him. If he doesn't, then it means he doesn't really like you either, and it's fine if you don't marry him..."

That female classmate, perhaps because of her poor academic performance and the fact that she hadn't even finished high school, admired Zhang Peipei, a college student, quite a bit, feeling that she was smarter and more knowledgeable than herself.

After listening to Zhang Peipei's explanation, the female classmate felt that Zhang Peipei made more and more sense. In the end, she actually took the advice of her insightful best friend Zhang Peipei and went to renegotiate the bride price with the other party.

Then, two weeks later, the engagement fell through. The female classmate and her fiancé broke up completely.

When she heard the news, Zhang Peipei was very proud: Look, with just a little test, she was able to see the other party's sincerity, helped her best friend avoid a pitfall, and saved her best friend.

I'm so lucky to have such a good friend, my best friend from junior high school.

Zhang Peipei is someone who considers herself to be very warm-hearted towards her friends.

So now that she was itching to do something, she thought about it and finally spoke up.

As is her usual approach, she didn't say it directly, but attacked from the side: "He's a bit too idealistic."

Everyone was watching TV quietly, but Zhang Peipei's words naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"They say boys mature later, and there's some truth to that. He's good at business, but just as his business is starting to pick up, he's already thinking about environmental protection and stuff like that. It's really naive. I guess he's been brainwashed by too much media coverage. He's always thinking about doing something meaningful and grand, but actually, being down-to-earth and doing his own thing well is what really matters..."

Zhang Peipei spoke fluently and at length.

In her words, Shen Kang had become a young man with some luck who had accomplished something, but he mistook luck for ability. If things continued like this, the important matters might be ruined.

Zhang Peipei further reasoned: This kind of man, despite his current success and seemingly good character, might undergo a drastic personality change when the time comes. She had a neighbor like that; her husband was successful, humble, and polite, and the family was harmonious—many envied the wife. However, after a misfortune befell them, the husband couldn't cope and became a completely different person, drinking heavily and beating his wife, ultimately leading to their divorce…

Xia Meng was also there, and at this moment she listened with great enthusiasm: "Ah, yes, yes, that's it! I love to hear it, say more!"

She was really depressed tonight, sitting here watching her "love rival's" glorious deeds.

In particular, seeing He Qiuzhu's eyes glued to the TV made her even more depressed.

But now, someone has actually jumped out to criticize Shen Kang!

Xia Meng herself wouldn't say these things, but she really enjoys hearing others say them.

Okay, great! Keep talking, I love to hear it!

Du Nanxin sat on the other side, wanting to tell Zhang Peipei to "stop talking," but she was afraid that if she really spoke, it would cause a conflict with Zhang Peipei, so she hesitated and stopped speaking.

Some of the girls present seemed thoughtful, feeling that what Zhang Peipei said made a lot of sense.

The person involved, He Qiuzhu, was furious, her cheeks bulging with anger. She thought to herself, "Zhang Peipei spoke ill of Shen Kang; she's such a bad person! I won't talk to her anymore."

He Qiuzhu wanted to argue back, but there were too many people there, most of whom were "strangers" she didn't usually talk to, which made her a little nervous—she had never argued with anyone before.

What's more, arguing in front of so many people terrified her just thinking about it.

After listening for a while longer, seeing that Zhang Peipei still wouldn't shut up and was still slandering Shen Kang, she became angrier and angrier. Finally, she mustered up her courage, opened her mouth, and prepared to refute or even argue.

For Shen Kang's sake, she was willing to go on stage and give a speech in front of so many people.

For Shen Kang, she was willing to argue with someone for the first time in her life.

However, before He Qiuzhu could speak, Shen Kang on the television had already said those words.

"...Green mountains and clear waters...gold and silver mountains..."

Then, a lengthy explanation of the economic significance of environmental protection was given, and the voice came from the television.

This made Du Nanxin's eyes light up.

"Peipei, look, Shen Kang isn't really an idealist after all..."

Zhang Peipei's argument against Shen Kang stemmed from the premise that "environmental protection has no economic benefits, and Shen Kang is too idealistic and naive." However, on television, Shen Kang is now discussing the economic significance of environmental protection.

As Du Nanxin listened, she took what Shen Kang said and used it to refute Zhang Peipei.

Zhang Peipei wanted to retort, but faced with what Shen Kang had said, she couldn't think of any points to refute. In the end, Qian smiled and remained silent.

Seeing this, Du Nanxin breathed a sigh of relief—at least she hadn't made things too embarrassing for everyone.

Seeing this, Xia Meng became depressed again, sighing in her heart—this rival in love is really blessed.

Fu Rong's eyes lit up as she watched with great interest—wow, someone had just put pressure on He Qiuzhu, and Shen Kang immediately responded from the TV. Could this be considered protecting his wife remotely? That's amazing! I'm totally shipping them!

He Qiuzhu, seeing Zhang Peipei's embarrassed look, finally felt relieved, but was still a little annoyed. So she reluctantly stopped looking at the handsome face of the stinky younger brother on TV and turned her head to stare coldly at Zhang Peipei.

The matter calmed down, and her initial courage to argue dissipated, leaving her with no choice but to resort to such actions to express her dissatisfaction.

Zhang Peipei is wicked, humph... He Qiuzhu thought angrily, staring coldly at Zhang Peipei.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Everyone glanced at each other discreetly, and it felt like the temperature in the living room had dropped.

Normally, He Qiuzhu doesn't smile much and has little expression, but she is just aloof, like autumn.

But now, it has turned cold, like a bleak winter.

In particular, He Qiuzhu's face exuded immense pressure. And today, the astonishing family background that He Qiuzhu displayed weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

All of these factors combined to create immense psychological pressure on the girls from He Qiuzhu's cold, staring gaze.

There's a certain feeling, like during evening self-study in high school, when many people in the classroom are whispering and laughing, and the homeroom teacher suddenly walks in with a cold face. After entering, he doesn't say anything, but just goes to the podium, throws his books on the podium, and doesn't sit down. He just coldly looks at the students below.

They were trembling just watching.

Zhang Peipei, the person involved, had her lips tightly pressed together and her body stiff.

She wanted to find an excuse to leave immediately.

But running away like this would be too embarrassing, so I can only struggle on...

As He Qiuzhu's roommates, Fu Rong and Du Nanxin were not immune to the pressure; even just watching from the sidelines, they felt a lot of psychological pressure.

Of all the people in the room, Xia Meng was probably the only one who was different.

Xia Meng remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she screamed: Sister, don't stare at her, stare at me! Stare at me intently, stare me until I'm suffocated by your cold gaze! ...

He Qiuzhu did not keep an eye on it.

After staring coldly for a while to express her dissatisfaction, He Qiuzhu withdrew her gaze and continued to watch the TV, her eyes glued to her younger brother's handsome face on the screen.

It's said that seeing beautiful things improves one's mood. He Qiuzhu is experiencing just that now. The incredibly handsome face on TV, which she considers to be galaxy-highly attractive, quickly cured her bad mood, leaving her feeling very happy.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The most relieved one was Zhang Peipei.

Her body, which had been stiff, finally relaxed.

The atmosphere was rather awkward, and Zhang Peipei wanted to leave. But she didn't leave immediately—wouldn't that make it seem like she'd been scared away by He Qiuzhu? She sat there for a while, feeling like an eternity had passed, until she finally got up, pretending to yawn, and dragged her chair back to her dorm.

Of the four people in her dormitory, besides herself, one was studying in the evening, and the other two were in the living room outside.

Zhang Peipei dragged the chair back to her desk and sat for a while, but none of her roommates returned. This made her sentimental, and she felt abandoned. She couldn't help but feel sorry for herself, feeling like she was Marguerite Gautier, and began to immerse herself in the role, feeling incredibly self-pitying.

Immersed in this emotion, time passed by unnoticed.

My roommates have returned to their dorm room from the living room.

The sound of a chair being dragged in startled Zhang Peipei from her self-pity. Turning her head, she saw only one of her roommates dragging a chair in; the other one was nowhere to be seen.

"Is it over?" Zhang Peipei asked proactively.

The roommate who dragged the chair back was named Zou Hong.

Hearing Zhang Peipei's words, she replied with an "Mm".

After exchanging a few more words with Zou Hong, Zhang Peipei began to complain quietly, "...I was just trying to do what's best for her, and she still glared at me like that."

She truly felt wronged.

Zou Hong listened but didn't say anything, nor did she want to.

But Zhang Peipei continued her incessant chatter, recounting her grievances. As she spoke, she even brought up the matter of her former junior high school classmate, using it to prove that she was truly a considerate person who cared deeply for her friends. She claimed that everything she had said in the living room was entirely for He Qiuzhu's sake.

After hearing Zhang Peipei's story about her junior high school classmate, Zou Hong thought to herself, "Goodness, anyone who becomes your best friend is really cursed."

Finally, seeing that Zhang Peipei was about to continue, Zou Hong couldn't take it anymore and found an opportunity to slip out of the dormitory.

Zhang Peipei smacked her lips, seemingly still wanting more.

So she opened QQ on her computer, wanting to talk to her junior high school classmate, but after searching for a while, she was shocked to find that the other girl was no longer in her friend list.

Zhang Peipei took out her phone again and called her junior high school classmate, but a man answered the phone and said she had dialed the wrong number.

After checking the phone number again, Zhang Peipei called back, and the same man answered. They talked and discovered that he had also just changed his phone number last month.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Peipei thought for a moment and then called a mutual friend of theirs.

This time they dialed the right number; it was their mutual friend who answered the phone.

"...Why didn't Panpan tell me she changed her phone number? Also, why isn't she in my QQ friends list anymore?"

When faced with Zhang Peipei's question, the other party initially hesitated, but under Zhang Peipei's persistent questioning, the other party could only sigh and tell her.

"Panpan hates you to death now. She blocked you. She changed her phone number too, and don't ask me for her number. She won't let me tell you... What else could it be? It's about you ruining her wedding..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Peipei sat silently at her desk for a long time, her eyes blank.
