It was a crowd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, handsome,\" everyone greeted him warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun sat down beside Song Xiaowei, confused. \"What’s going on?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something unexpected came up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiaowei said awkwardly, \"They’re my classmates from the acting department. I ran into them, and when they heard I got the job at the TV station, they insisted on celebrating with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s just dinner,’ he thought. ’A few more people just makes it livelier.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Besides, they were all beautiful college girls.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaowei, and here we were wondering why you didn’t want to eat with us. Turns out you had a date with a handsome guy,\" one of the girls teased, eyeing Xu Yun, who was both handsome and carried himself well. \"Aren’t you going to introduce us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m Xu Yun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun introduced himself. \"I’m a friend of Xiaowei’s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean boyfriend, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls asked probingly. \"So, Xiaowei, this is why you’ve been turning down all the guys at school? Your heart was already taken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiaowei was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, handsome,\" one of the women asked curiously, \"Are you a senior in college too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun replied, \"I graduated a while ago. I run a small business now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so you’re a business owner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl asked, \"What industry are you in? Do you have any positions that would be a good fit for us? We’re about to start job hunting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A media company.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun looked at the group of girls and smiled. \"If you’re interested, you can audition for the female lead or other roles when my company films its short dramas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, they were thrilled. \"Can we really do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What acting student doesn’t dream of being the leading lady?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the lead in a short drama is still the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, they had just seen the news about a short drama that raked in 120 million in just one week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead actress, an acting major, had even gone viral because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So even if we can’t be movie stars, becoming online celebrities would be great, as long as it pays well.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun smiled. \"Just get the company’s address from Xiaowei later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, thank you, Brother Xu.\" They all started calling him that, just like Xiaowei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem. Any friend of Xiaowei is a friend of mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone teased, \"Xiaowei, I hear you need connections to get into a TV station. Did Brother Xu help you get in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiaowei didn’t try to hide it. \"I’d actually been eliminated,\" she said frankly. \"But Brother Xu settled it with a single phone call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, that’s amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, the others’ eyes filled with a mix of envy and jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at Xu Yun with a newfound sense of awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If only he could get me a spot too,’ they thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was just a wistful thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chatted while they ate, with the conversation mostly revolving around Xu Yun and Song Xiaowei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for their relationship status, Xu Yun neither confirmed nor denied anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let them believe what they wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating for a while, the girls knew they would be overstaying their welcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they got up, said their goodbyes, and left the two of them to their date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Xiaowei settled the bill, the two of them started walking along the riverside path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The summer breeze off the river still carried a touch of muggy heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiaowei was in a long white dress, her long black hair casually falling over her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her perfectly proportioned features gave her a delicate beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her only flaw, perhaps, was that she was a bit flat-chested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun smiled and asked, \"How much longer are we going to walk like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Some things a woman is too reserved to say,’ he thought. ’A man has to be the one to bring it up.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Otherwise, we could be walking all night.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I came here for a date, not a workout.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you tired of walking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun replied, \"I’m tired. Why don’t we find a place to rest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Xiaowei knew this moment was coming and had mentally prepared herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just wasn’t comfortable bringing up this sort of thing herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Xu Yun had brought it up, she said shyly, \"I know a nice hotel up ahead. Maybe we could rest there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sounds good. Lead the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun extended his hand and said, \"Give me your hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun took her hand and said as they walked, \"This way, we look more like a couple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned back, returned to his car, and he drove Song Xiaowei to a five-star hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He booked an executive suite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You can’t cut corners on things like this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Plus, it was secure. There was little to no chance of hidden cameras.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, as a frequent browser of the amateur sections online, he knew most of those hidden camera videos were filmed in cheap motels.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the room, a nervous Song Xiaowei didn’t know what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu Yun wasted no time. He swept her into his arms and carried her straight to the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(A thousand words are omitted here. Forgive me, I can’t write smut.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The next morning, it was a familiar scene.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was alone in the hotel bed. The woman from last night was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It felt like he was the only one in the world who got to have fun,’ he thought. ’Everyone else had to get up and go to work the next day.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun opened his phone to a message from Song Xiaowei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m off to the TV station.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And... thank you for being so gentle last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put down his phone, got out of bed, and began practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window.\u003C\u002Fp>",1009,"2026-06-03T11:41:56.865Z","2026-06-03T11:42:08.162Z",1,"novelbin.me","a11fc07b3abd220f93a404df078491addec341e40b0a0fa1ad339faed0a2f0f3","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-218","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-216",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-cover.jpg"]
