Chapter 71: with translation of chapter title

Jiang Cheng walked up to Chu Siqi and said, "Beautiful lady, want to get a room and sleep together?"

The brothers who came over to hit on Chu Siqi were so shocked their jaws almost dropped, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Cheng.

He couldn't help but take a step back; this brother must be crazy!

"Sure." Chu Siqi said, her eyes looking at Jiang Cheng, a smile crawling onto her formerly cold face! That big brother, as if seeing a ghost, stepped back another two steps, incredulously looking at the two of them.

I haven't been sleepwalking; when did I turn into something I can't understand? Then he really watched, eyes wide open, as that girl who originally sat by the flowerbed, cold and whose temperament contributed to this, followed that crazy hooligan away! Is this even possible? The big brother looked left and right, saw a girl in jeans, seemingly standing by the road waiting for someone.

He walked over, imitating Jiang Cheng's expression from just now when he was fishing for blue dan, and said, "Beautiful lady, want to get a room and sleep together?"

Pa! A slap flew over without any pause, landing squarely on the face! "You bastard, you've got guts to say that again—see if I don't beat the crap out of you!"

The big brother staggered back in fright, yet saw the schoolgirl carrying her handbag chase after him, even reaching out to pull off his shoe.

The big brother turned and ran in terror, a shoe sole flying past his ear!

"You bastard, if you've got the guts, say which class you're from!"

The big brother covered his face and fled in panic.

Why is it different when it comes to me?

……

At Su Manyao's parents' home.

The couple were having dinner while watching TV.

Actually the TV was just on, but they were talking about what Jiang Cheng had said today—that their daughter wanted to elope! They couldn't imagine, after all these years, their daughter who had never had any gossip or rumors with any boys—either she wouldn't date at all, or once she did, she'd go all out!

First, they could confirm that Jiang Cheng was the boy who went to the private cinema with that girl; they had investigated this clearly.

But today Su's mother tentatively asked Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Chen said he and his girlfriend were discussing marriage, and even said that if her parents disagreed, she planned to elope with him! "Is it that we've done something wrong to scare Manyao? We never said she couldn't date; it's her own choice not to, and besides we never demanded what kind of boyfriend she should find. The boyfriend's standards are just average; we never objected, so why elope?" Su Bancheng was anxious.

Su's mother Wang Lin said with a worried frown, "Maybe we haven't cared for Manyao enough; tomorrow we'll go see her together—it's just about finding a college student's younger brother as a match? He's an old ox eating tender grass, and we never said anything about her, so why is he already thinking of eloping?"

Su Bancheng: He looked at his wife with a strange gaze, always feeling that when she said 'old ox eating tender grass,' she was full of resentment, as if the grass wasn't hers to eat, and she was a bit sour.

"Huh? Isn't this today's video of Jiang Cheng saving someone?"

Wang Lin, while talking to Su Bancheng, was scrolling on her phone when she suddenly looked up and said.

"Let me take a look?"

Su Bancheng also leaned over to look; the video was a news clip, the scene exactly the artificial lake beside the road where they had been stuck in traffic today.

A boy jumped into the lake and swam toward the little girl in the shallow water.

In the video, Jiang Cheng's face isn't very clear, but at the bottom there's a yellow hot topic.

Wang Lin clicked the topic, jumping to another page filled with today's videos of Jiang Cheng's rescue from multiple angles.

Two of those angles clearly captured Jiang Cheng's front face as he climbed out of the water.

《Mysterious Youth Fearlessly Saves the Drowning Little Girl, Then Quietly Leaves. 》

《Countless Bystanders Watched the Little Girl Drown, Only Li Ming Youth Bravely Stepped In! 》

《Today on the middle section of Yongli Road, a 6-year-old girl unfortunately met water; fortunately a young passerby rescued her, though everyone who had been happy to help then silently left. 》 Su Bancheng saw these headlines and thought the times have progressed, seemingly no longer under the orthodox department's rule.

The top related video had garnered 730,000 likes, with many comments below asking who the rescuer was.

Some also shared their opinions, saying they don't blame bystanders for not daring to act, but rescuing someone in shallow water is overly dangerous; a drowning person who grabs something will instinctively cling tight, easily pulling the rescuer under as well, yet they still admire today's brave youth who stepped in to save.

"This person is truly amazing; honestly, if I had been there at the time, I probably wouldn't have dared to rescue."

"My girlfriend said if I ever encountered such a thing and dared to jump in, she'd break up with me!"

"With the sun setting, nowadays everyone has learned to protect themselves; such youths are becoming rarer and rarer!"

"After saving the person he just left, seeking neither fame nor profit—that's the quality we should advocate."

"Nobody noticed he's handsome?"

"Does anyone know who this handsome guy is?"

"I'm saying, no matter what, Manyao's taste definitely won't be wrong."

Wang Lin, upon seeing the video, had an intelligent and dignified face filled with delight, as if sharing in the honor.

"You see what these comments say—the kid is still too impulsive; if something serious happened, there'd be no regret medicine to take."

"Eh, this is all trivial; later if we get a chance we can talk to him—his news went viral, which should help his image going forward, right?"

Wang Lin lifted her head to look at her husband and asked.

Su Bancheng thought it over: "No way, this isn't enough; such a good opportunity can't be missed—youngsters don't get it, but I do!"

"It's still up to me to do it!"

Su Bancheng immediately pulled out a phone from his pocket—this phone wasn't a smartphone; in this day and age people still use these black-and-white feature phones, nowadays only the elderly use such devices.

Su Bansheng quickly dialed a number.

"Xiao Ma, it's me, okay okay okay. Did you see in your news department a story about the mysterious youth rescuing the drowning little girl? Take a look later? Nothing much, just saying give him some more traffic."

"How much? Fill it up!"

"" "Chao Yang, yes yes, that's it, fill it up!"

"" "Hey, Xiao Zhang, max it out, max it out!"

Su Bancheng personally made several calls, then also called his secretary to arrange another round.

After arranging all that, Su Bancheng finally felt at ease.

Such things might not be of much use to ordinary people; perhaps it's just a banner of honor.

But if Jiang Cheng later joins the Su Family.

Then it would be different—this is a résumé money can't buy, and also an invisible stepping stone and face in many places.

Just like when the Huo family obtained Ms. Guo, the term used was 'marrying down'.

Although Jiang Cheng's action isn't that exaggerated and hasn't reached that height, it achieves the same effect!
