Chapter 12

Yet Lin Yi was handing out flyers under the scorching sun.

While he was playing on his computer in the dormitory.

Lin Yi was instead peddling various goods in every dorm room.

Murong Sheng felt in his heart that someone like Lin Yi would surely succeed at whatever he did in the future.

After all, if even Lin Yi could not succeed, what hope was there for him?

"I'll take another chicken leg; we'll settle the bill together when I get back!"

Murong Sheng said shamelessly.

Then, he left Room 312.

As soon as this fellow left, Ye Yu could not help but spit.

"Pah! What a thing!"

Meanwhile, Lin Yi took out his notebook to record the debt for the other party.

After all, since many people bought on credit, he had prepared this ledger for such occasions.

To be honest regarding Murong Sheng, if not for the sake of being from the same hometown, Lin Yi would not have lent him a single cent.

And even so, in Lin Yi's eyes, the other party was worth only that one hundred yuan.

This was solely because he had seen the other party's plainly dressed sister come to the school and return the money with hands covered in calluses.

However, what made Lin Yi despise this fellow from his hometown the most was this:

Last year, the other party's father came to the school.

Yet that fellow Murong Sheng stubbornly refused to go downstairs to meet his own father.

Because at school, he had always claimed to be a second-generation official from Guizhou Province, with a father who was a township head.

He spent money lavishly, and at first, everyone actually believed his persona.

But as his old man arrived, this persona naturally shattered.

Looking at the man wearing a blue homespun shirt, rubber shoes caked with yellow mud on his feet, and skin wrinkled like tree bark.

Even though his son had not come to see him, he still smiled and said:

"A university student is good, a university student is good... my son is a university student!"

At that time, quite a few people were nearly moved to tears.

From then on, that fellow Murong Sheng's reputation in the class became rotten.

"Third Brother, why did you lend him money?" Duan Yun asked.

"It was mainly because of his older sister; last time she came over and asked me to look after him a bit, saying that if he really had no money, I should lend it to him, and she would repay it later!"

Lin Yi shrugged.

"Alright, let's not talk about that guy anymore. Third Brother, I've already arranged with my girlfriend for this weekend,"

"We're going to the newly opened Wanda Plaza with her dorm mates to have a meal and bond!"

Ye Yu said with a grin.

His words immediately made Fatty Wang Kai and Little Magic City Duan Yun's eyes light up.

"Oh, I see!"

Lin Yi, however, did not care much about this.

For him now, the most important thing was his career, not women.

Possessing a huge sum of money, he hoped to find a windfall opportunity for entrepreneurship.

"Hey, hey, Third Brother, don't be so perfunctory, okay? By then, just like today, trust me, this time I will definitely help you get off the single train!"

Ye Yu smiled.

(PS: New book seeking flowers, tips, and rating tickets; your support is the author's motivation!)

"Then I'll take your kind words to heart!" Lin Yi said with a smile.

However, he clearly did not pay it much attention.

In fact, he was not in any hurry to talk about women or anything of the sort right now.

For a man, his career is the foundation.

The next day, Lin Yi's appearance was completely refreshed; he wore a white Nike tracksuit and AJ sneakers.

Added to his slightly groomed hairstyle,

it had to be said that he looked somewhat handsome.

He might not compare to that pretty boy in his dormitory, the aspiring soft-rice king Ye Yu,

but he was still a handsome young man in his own right.

The most important factor was his aura; obviously, after the events of the past two days, he had become much more confident.

This gave his already resolute face a unique charm.

Additionally, although Lin Yi's height of 175 centimeters was very ordinary among males,

his physique was excellent.

With his slender build and muscles honed by years of exercise, the sight of him sweating under the sunlight

was full of youthful athletic energy.

After six o'clock, the number of people on the playground increased noticeably.

Among them were many beautiful figures, including more than a few young girls who made Lin Yi's eyes light up suddenly.

Unfortunately, perhaps having suffered two rejections, his view on love had become somewhat despairing.

Therefore, he felt that those beauties were destined to have nothing to do with him.

Thus, he naturally appeared somewhat single-minded.

Just then, in a corner of the playground,

there were two women, one of whom was unmistakably Han Han Han Yajing, the girl who had deposited money at the bank yesterday.

At this moment, she was wearing a pink-and-white two-tone tracksuit, her hair tied back in a ponytail.

Paired with her fair and flawless face, her appearance naturally attracted the gaze of many people.

Beside the young girl was an older woman with deep crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

"Xiao Jing, do you see that boy?"

The older woman pointed at a male student running on the playground and said.

Hearing this, Han Han Han Yajing looked over and immediately froze.

Although his appearance was slightly different, she recognized him instantly; wasn't this the boy she had met yesterday at the Industrial and Commercial Bank?

"His name is Lin Yi, a student in the Class of 2013 majoring in Mechanical Automation. However, ever since this kid showed up, business at my supermarket has dropped significantly!"

The older woman said with dissatisfaction regarding Lin Yi.

Incidentally, she was actually the boss who had contracted the school supermarkets.

Both supermarkets at this Songjiang campus were contracted by her.

The supermarket on the girls' side was doing fine, but the one on the boys' side, ever since Lin Yi opened his small shop,

had seen its sales drop considerably.

Naturally, she did not hold any good feelings toward Lin Yi.

"However, to be fair, this kid named Lin Yi is also the most persevering person I've ever seen!"

The supermarket boss could not help but sigh in admiration.

"How so, Sister Wang?" Han Han Han Yajing suddenly became very curious about Lin Yi.

Although the two of them had no relationship, she had not expected the usually strict female supermarket boss to give such an evaluation of anyone.

Hearing this, the female boss, known as Sister Yuan, said:

"Putting other things aside, just take morning exercise; this kid comes over every day after five o'clock.

He usually runs a dozen laps or so and then heads to the cafeteria. This might not seem like much, but what if I told you he has been doing this for over two years, rain or shine!"

Speaking to this point, Sister Yuan added:

"Moreover, I have seen him more than once outside the school handing out flyers under the scorching sun, and working part-time at a milk tea shop during the summer break.

Although this kid has taken away quite a bit of my business, emotionally speaking, I still quite admire him. He is definitely a stock with potential; his future prospects are limitless!"

Hearing this, Han Han Han Yajing's beautiful, watery eyes fixed on the boy on the playground.

Due to her poor family situation, she often worked part-time at the girls' supermarket to support her studies.
