I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Chen Ya placed the Pu'er tea he had just drunk on his lap: "I'll accept your words, but I have to take this packet of tea back with me."

Yang Changshuo's expression froze for a moment, then, as if to say "out of sight, out of mind," he waved his hand and said:

"Fine, fine, take it if you want it. Look at your face."

Chen Ya happily accepted the gifts, while Yang Changshuo felt increasingly cheated and said to Fang Bai:

"While Bai Yujing is still here, ask him anything else you want to ask, and try to get as much information out of him as possible, otherwise it will hurt my wallet!"

Fang Bai knew his teacher wanted him to play the wingman, so he rolled his eyes and asked:

"Uncle Bai Yujing, I'd like to ask you, Beichen is about to launch its first commercial nuclear fusion power plant. What impact will this have on the future confrontation between China and the United States? What are your predictions?"

"I don't predict, I only change," Chen Ya said. "Since the academic community, the military, and the future of our country are all sitting here, I can give you a little hint about the direction I want to change..."

……

Even after leaving Principal Yang's "Hidden Retreat", Mei Han still felt a sense of wonder.

I originally came to ask the principal to change my major, thinking it would be a matter of personal favor.

Unexpectedly, I seemed to have experienced a very strange conversation.

Recalling Bai Yujing's words, she still finds them somewhat unbelievable.

That person seemed to be a combination of madness and genius; every word he said was both unbelievable and yet somehow made sense.

Mei Han felt that he was like a business elite such as Musk or Zuckerberg, every word he spoke was powerful and resounding, yet sounded like science fiction.

Xia Zhijian and Fang Bai led Mei Han on the road leading away from the courtyard.

The two remained silent for a long time.

After walking for more than two hundred meters, Xia Zhijian finally spoke:

"The contents of today's conversation must not be leaked anywhere."

Mei Han looked at the uncle.

She knew this was being said to herself.

His expression was extremely serious, so serious that it even carried a heavy killing intent—a steely temperament that could only be forged on the battlefield.

Mei Han's throat went dry, and she nodded repeatedly.

"The conversation at the principal's house today may gradually have an impact on reality over the next ten years," Fang Bai said. "Zhijian, if what he said is really true, are you mentally prepared for change?"

Xia Zhijian said, "As a soldier, one should carry out orders. Even if one cannot accept it psychologically, or feels afraid of difficulties and dangers, one should step forward without hesitation. This is a soldier's duty."

He turned to Fang Bai and smiled gently, saying, "Besides, judging from his description, our future isn't that dangerous."

"Sword Master, do you believe what he said?"

Xia Zhijian nodded: "He has a certain charisma, a charisma I've only ever seen in leaders. I believe in him. Perhaps, he's a born leader."

Fang Bai grasped his hand and said slowly, "This 'Hidden Lodge Conversation' may become an important historical scene in the future."

Mei Han looked at Fang Bai with some disbelief.

"Drip-"

The sound of a horn rang out from behind them, and the three saw Bai Yujing, who had been talking loudly in the secluded hut, riding an electric scooter and weaving past them from behind.

"See you later!" He extended his hand to greet them.

Fang Bai shouted, "Is that Principal Yang's car?"

Chen Ya stopped the car, turned around and said, "Yes. I borrowed it from him."

“Peking University has very strict rules; electric bikes are not allowed on campus. Only Lao Yang’s electric bike is allowed to come and go, so I borrowed his bike. This should be fine, right?”

"Ah, this..."

Under the strange looks from Fang Bai and the others, Chen Ya got back on the car and leisurely rode off into the distance.

"I'm riding my beloved little motorcycle..."

……

With winter break approaching and final exams over, most of the remaining club activities are actually just gatherings under the guise of group activities.

Lu Qianzi had been in the activity room for half an hour, spending all her time discussing with her friends how to spend the winter vacation. She almost forgot what club she was in.

Just as she was having a good time chatting, Zhao Anqi coughed twice in a mock manner and sat down next to Lu Qianzi.

Zhao Anqi wore a long dress by Parada and looked very stylish. She has many fans at school because she is considered a "socialite" in the circle.

She comes from a well-off family and is particularly good at marketing her persona. In addition, she has good relationships with some scions of prominent families, so her net worth has also increased.

However, Lu Qianzi didn't really like this person.

"Qianzi, when you came, I saw you were carrying a Patek Philippe bag. Did you just buy a watch?"

Zhao Anqi immediately posed sensitive questions.

Previously, Chen Ya "rented" two watches, one for three million and one for seven million. He lost the seven-million-dollar watch to himself and forgot to return it, so he had to keep carrying it around.

Lu Qianzi said, "I didn't buy it, it belongs to my family member, and I'm keeping it safe for him."

"Your dad's?" Zhao Anqi nudged her with her elbow. "Take it out and let me see."

The girl chatting with Lu Qianzi next to her also became interested and asked, "What Patek Philippe watch?"

Lu Qianzi shook her head and forced a smile, saying, "No, no, it's too precious. I can't bear the responsibility if it gets damaged."

Zhao Anqi pouted and said:

"Qianzi, that's a bit harsh. Are all of us classmates country bumpkins? Do you think we'd break your watch just by looking at it?"

Her voice was quite loud, and the other students in the club all turned to look at her.

Lu Qianzi couldn't handle this person and said:

"That's not what I meant. The main thing is that this watch is really valuable, and it's not mine..."

Zhao Anqi was even more displeased upon hearing this, and said with a dark face:

"We know your watch is expensive, so you don't need to keep emphasizing it. Just say you don't like it."

A boy sitting not far away walked over and said:

"Zhao Anqi, you're wrong about that. Everyone knows what kind of person Qianzi is. How could she look down on someone so easily? She must have her reasons for not bringing it up. Right, Qianzi?"

The boy's name was Cha Xiaoming, and his voice was so loud that everyone in the classroom could hear him.

Lu Qianzi rubbed her forehead, feeling her head hurt even more.

Cha Xiaoming was her classmate, and the entire club knew that he had a crush on her. Some club members even intentionally or unintentionally helped him get ahead of the relationship.

Although Lu Qianzi knew he was speaking up for her, it was less effective than him saying nothing at all.

Some classmates who overheard a few words looked at Lu Qianzi with a hint of sourness.

Lu Qianzi's family was the best among them, so she was always careful not to flaunt her wealth. Zhao Anqi took this opportunity to accuse her of looking down on people, which was a form of moral blackmail.

"Alright, alright." Lu Qianzi took the gift box out of the drawer and said, "So that no one will say I'm looking down on people. I'll just show it to you."

Upon opening the gift box, the exquisitely transparent dial of the Patek Philippe P4105 is revealed to all.

Many people exclaimed "Wow!" after seeing it.

This watch is anything but understated; you can tell how luxurious it is just by looking at the watch itself.

Zhao Anqi picked up the watch, examined it closely, and became increasingly engrossed. She nudged Lu Qianzi and said:

"Qianzi, how much does this watch cost?"

Lu Qianzi didn't want to answer, and said listlessly, "Anyway, it's very expensive."

Zhao Anqi rolled her eyes at her, clicked her tongue, and said:

"What's so great about it? It's just a watch."

The reason why her words were so barbed was also related to Cha Xiaoming.

Zhao Anqi had previously pursued Cha Xiaoming, but was rejected.

Although they agreed to remain friends after being rejected, and Cha Xiaoming treated her like a close female friend, the relationship between Zhao Anqi and Lu Qianzi became very awkward due to well-known circumstances.

Therefore, she always enjoyed actively competing with Lu Qianzi.

She reached out to Cha Xiaoming and said, "Come here."

Cha Xiaoming sat down in front of them and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Stretch out your hand."

"What?"

"Just stretch it out when I tell you to." Zhao Anqi acted like a queen.

Cha Xiaoming had no choice but to extend his hand. Zhao Anqi placed her watch on his wrist, compared it to his, and her eyes lit up. She said:

"Cha Xiaoming, you actually look quite good in luxury watches!"

Chapter 200 Why are you always being bullied at school?

Zhao Anqi pressed the watch onto Cha Xiaoming's wrist, pulled him to show it to others, and said:

"Look, it suits you quite well, doesn't it?"

Some people around her nodded in agreement, out of respect for her. In reality, you couldn't tell anything by pressing it against her hand like that.

However, the P4105's sophisticated dial and intricate yet aesthetically pleasing structure are already quite cool. The layered design inside the watch is like wearing a magic circle on your wrist.

It's really beautiful.

Seeing that Zhao Anqi picked it up and fiddled with it without her permission, Lu Qianzi was very angry.

"Zhao Anqi, give it back to me!"

Zhao Anqi turned around, gave Lu Qianzi a cold look, and said in a drawn-out tone, "Oh, so stingy. Even in a watch shop, they wouldn't refuse to let you try it on, would they?"

Lu Qianzi's cheeks flushed slightly with anger: "This watch isn't mine, it belongs to someone else. What if you break it? Do you know how dangerous this watch is..."

"Do you know how much this watch costs? Yes, yes..." Zhao Anqi waved her hand lazily and said, "My uncle owns a watch shop in Qunxian City, of course I know the price of the watch."

Cha Xiaoming was held down by her wrist and dared not move, for fear that if he moved, he would break the watch.

Zhao Anqi turned around, glanced admiringly at the watch on Cha Xiaoming's wrist again, and said:

"I want to buy my boyfriend a watch like this as a gift someday. That's why I wanted to borrow yours to see how it looks."

A boy next to her laughed and said, "Anqi, you're really generous, giving your boyfriend such an expensive gift."

Zhao Anqi gracefully turned her neck: "Of course, I'm the kind of girl who's good to whoever I'm good to, but I don't know who will end up getting the best off with such a good girl like me."

Lu Qianzi felt a little annoyed, but since Zhao Anqi knew what was going on, she figured she probably wouldn't deliberately cause trouble.

Zhao Anqi tilted her head left and right, examining the watch on Cha Xiaoming's wrist. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. She turned to Lu Qianzi and said:

“We can’t really tell anything from looking at it like this, so let’s just have Xiaoming model it and see. I know you’re probably going to ask again if I know how much it costs, so I’ll repeat myself, I know.”

Many people around her secretly laughed. Lu Qianzi was so angry that her head hurt, but when she saw that the watch was about to fall off, her heart pounded, afraid that something might happen. It would be more reliable if she actually put it on.

"Okay, take it off and give it back to me as soon as you're done trying it on. The owner will come over later and will scold me when he sees it."

After getting her permission, Cha Xiaoming quickly put on the watch. Actually, he had been wanting it for a long time too.

After handling the exquisite Patek Philippe watch, Cha Xiaoming crossed his arms in front of his chest, striking various poses, and asked:

"How about it?"

Zhao Anqi teased, "Not bad, I'll choose this one for my future boyfriend."

A guy next to me asked with a grin, "Did your boyfriend choose this one, or did your boyfriend choose this one? If you don't make that clear, we'll all misunderstand!"

Zhao Anqi giggled and slapped the boy hard across the face: "You! Disgusting!"

Someone next to him took out their phone and said to Cha Xiaoming, "Come on, strike a few more poses and I'll take some pictures of you."

Cha Xiaoming quickly struck a pose.

Zhao Anqi said, "Sure enough, my dad always says that a watch is a man's image. Wearing a watch makes a difference in temperament. He suddenly looks much more mature and composed."

Everyone agreed.
