Shocking! This student is phenomenal!

In a rented room on the outskirts of Kyoto.

A man and a woman were nervously staring at their phones in the room.

It was Liu Zemin and his sister Liu Lanyue.

"Ze Ming, just accept it. We're ready to take responsibility for our actions," Liu Lanyue said to Liu Ze Ming.

"How can I have any face left? I've already sold out my roommate." Liu Zeming said with some frustration.

Liu Lanyue sighed.

It turns out that Liu Zemin's older sister, Liu Lanyue, left her hometown six years ago to work in Kyoto. She worked her way up from a handyman to the manager of an antique shop in Kyoto.

Over the years, Liu Zeming's tuition and living expenses have been mainly covered by his older sister, Liu Lanyue.

Some time ago, someone brought a painting to Liu Lanyue's shop, saying it was by Wen Zhengming, and asked if the shop would accept it.

When Liu Lanyue heard that someone was selling calligraphy and paintings, she immediately became interested.

If you can get the genuine product, you'll definitely make a lot of money.

However, the appraiser at the store will take another ten minutes to arrive.

Liu Lanyue then asked the man to take out the calligraphy and painting first, pretending to take a look herself, in case he felt that there was no one in the shop to appraise it and went to another shop.

This is a common tactic used by many antique shops to retain customers. They can't afford to hire full-time appraisers to live in the shop, so they can only resort to such tricks.

However, Liu Lanyue gently opened the painting and calligraphy with her fingers to help the owner.

To my surprise, I discovered that my hands were stained with ink.

These inks left stains on the calligraphy and paintings.

Upon seeing this, the cargo owner immediately demanded compensation.

Liu Lanyue knew she was in the wrong and had no choice but to agree, but the other party asked for 100 million.

She doesn't have that much money.

Later, an appraiser arrived and also said that the calligraphy and painting might not be worth 100 million.

But the cargo owner wouldn't accept it and insisted on compensation.

The antique shop owner settled Liu Lanyue's wages on the spot and fired her.

Seeing this, the merchant became even more aggressive, taking advantage of Liu Lanyue's weakness and her decent appearance.

He then asked her to sleep with him for a few nights.

Liu Lanyue naturally refused.

The two then took the matter to the police station. The owner of the goods was quite something; when he arrived at the police station, he produced many appraisal reports from appraisers and claimed the value was 100 million.

In the end, the police had no choice but to order Liu Lanyue to pay 100 million yuan in compensation, which could be paid in installments over a year.

Later, Liu Zemin found out about this.

Shortly after Liu Zeming learned of this, Wu Chunhui and Dong Hongqiu came looking for him.

They said they could help, but Liu Zemin's cooperation was needed.

"Oh, Zemin, how could you hurt your classmate for my sake!" Liu Lanyue sighed.

"Sister, you're my own sister! They told me that if I do this one small thing for them, it will help me persuade that person to understand us, and if I'm lucky, everything might be fine."

"You're just too young. You're the hope of the Liu family, and look at you like this..."

"It's all my fault!" Liu Lanyue was filled with disappointment and even more so with self-reproach.

Liu Zemin said helplessly, "I have no choice. I'm too ashamed to even study now, and there's been absolutely no progress on the money issue."

"The person I feel most sorry for is Su Jiang. I can only make it up to him by being his slave in my next life."

He fell silent after saying that.

He's been very nervous since last night.

He leaned against the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Even when he was asleep, he was still covered in cold sweat and curled up in a ball.

Liu Lanyue looked at her sleeping younger brother and his constantly lit-up phone.

A hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Su Jiang returned to his dormitory and saw his roommate anxiously making a phone call.

"How is it? Not answering?" Su Jiang asked.

"Yes, he hasn't answered. The call goes through, but he just won't pick up." Ouyang Feng slammed his fist on the table. "That's really disloyal!"

"I'll try!"

Su Jiang made a phone call to Liu Zeming.

But no one answered.

"Do you have his relatives' phone numbers?" Su Jiang asked after hanging up the phone.

Everyone shook their heads.

At this moment, Yu Ruying exclaimed from the side, "Holy crap! Su Jiang, the chemistry department at Tsinghua University has already declared that they want to compete with you!"

Everyone looked at their phones, and sure enough, many chemistry students were shouting on the forum:

"I, the prodigy from Tsinghua University, challenge Su Jiang to a 1v1 one-on-one chemistry duel!"

"I want to compete with Su Jiang in lab skills! Let's see who's better!"

"Hmph." Su Jiang scoffed at this.

"Are these idiots really so happy to be used as pawns?" Ouyang Feng couldn't help but curse.

Inside the Jiangnan Hot Pot Company in Kyoto.

Zhu Fei finished his work.

His recent busy work schedule has brought him new joys in life.

Especially when you see the data from those stores that keep breaking records every day.

He felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Upon opening his phone, Zhu Fei saw a series of messages about Su Jiang.

"What's going on?!"

He immediately called Su Jiang, but couldn't get through.

"I'm sure a lot of people are calling him right now. Su Jiang must be annoyed by something this serious."

Zhu Fei murmured to himself.

"Where did these videos come from? This doesn't sound like something Su Jiang would say."

He started studying the people who were talking on the forum.

The problem was quickly discovered:

"It seems like someone's stirring up trouble!"

Because every time someone voiced support for Su Jiang on the forum, someone would immediately start posting like crazy, pushing the post down.

Such things are common in their catering industry. It's frequent for competitors to hire people to slander each other.

Jiangnan hotpot restaurants even have people specifically responsible for this kind of public relations.

Zhu Fei took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, take a look at Tsinghua University's forum today, find the source of those messages about Su Jiang, and then push those messages down."
