Secretary Ye sighed helplessly. He shook his head lightly as if he was feeling pity towards Jiang Xiu's decision, "You haven't realized how big a chance you have missed."
Jiang Xiu stood up and walked away without even giving a glance back.
"He's similar to Jiang Yi on this aspect." Secretary Ye commented.
"Secretary Ye, are going to leave it like this?" a person to the side asked him.
He muttered to himself then shook his head, "Jiang Xiu has an engagement with the little princess of the Nangong family, and the Old Father needs the Nangong family. A connection between the families through marriage is the most stable way to form an agreement between them. Jiang Xiu has to return to the Jiang family."
"But he doesn't want to." The other person said.
Secretary Ye continued, "He'll surrender. He's just a child who doesn't know the meaning of the word called 'power.'"
When Jiang Xiu returned to the dorm, the other dorm mate had also returned. He was called Zheng Lun and was quite a handsome youth who wear fad clothes. Additionally, he was different from the other two as he already had a girl.
The university had just begun. It was still the first day.
Zhou Jin and Zhang Yiwen, these two brutes started worshipping Zheng Lun as an idol. Getting a girl wasn't the most important bit, this girl was quite lively, and this showed how skilled he was.
"There's a fresher's party for our archaeology department tonight. Brothers, let's work hard to obtain a year's happiness." Zhou Jin stated.
"Can we do it? There are fewer girls in our department."
Zheng Lun commented as well, "Yes, the proportion of males to females is severely imbalanced in our department. Look at my wife, she's from the foreign language department. The girls are prettier there."
The eyes of these brutes began to shine.
"Jiang Xiu, do you have a girlfriend?"
Jiang Xiu shook his head. He didn't have a girlfriend, but he had three fiancées, a wife in his previous life, and also a dancing girl.
"You're kidding, right? Leaving these two brutes aside, how come you don't have a girlfriend?" Jiang Xiu's style was enough to call him the most handsome boy in the department, and this was even when he was meticulously trying to stay low-key. In case he revealed the perfect godly figure, it would create a big mess.
Jiang Xiu felt as if he had returned to the time when he studied in university during the previous timeline as he chatted with them. They naturally weren't the same people but felt similar. When boys came together, they would definitely discuss girls. Jiang Xiu had shown the photo of Cheng Lingsu at that time and liked to brag that she was his fiancée but no one believed him then as he was in a wretched state.
"My family used to run a fruit stall before. I didn't have time to look at a girl as our family was poor."
All of them revealed an expression of pity.
"Why did you choose the archaeology department then? You'll have to spend a lot of money." As they went out often for expeditions and loved antiques. Antiques were quite expensive stuff.
"My family's situation is better now, so they let me choose Archaeology."
"I thought so! Brother didn't really look like a poor person…" In actuality, Jiang Xiu was a poor sob in the previous timeline. Cheng Lingran had suffered through a lot of hardships together with him and was even mistreated by him.
"Wife, you must introduce that pretty best friend of yours to my brother!"
"Okaayy!"
Zheng Lun's girlfriend was called Liu Lili. She was a very cute girl. "Let's go early then. We can go to a club to have fun together. There's no need to go to the fresher's party as we would only get called out if we went late."
Jiang Xiu wanted to refuse him. If he wished to get into a relationship, he wouldn't have refused Ye Bing back then. He had already become habituated to being lonely and got accustomed to the pain. He was unwilling to invest into love, but Zheng Lun had already pulled him outside.
"Let's go quickly. That girl's very pretty. The first day of university is quite important. You must grab your territory fast."
Zhou Jin and Zhang Yiwen were stupefied within the room, "Oi, what about us?"
They felt as if a sorrowful breeze passed behind their backs.
Zhou Jin said with grief, "Are you saying ugly people don't deserve to have a girlfriend?"
Zhang Yiwen also felt a heartache, "Zhou Jin, your words don't make me feel happy." The word ugly didn't really sit well with him.
Zheng Lun took out his car key. He owned a Benz which was worth nearly a few million. Driving such a car in his first year revealed that his family's financial situation was pretty good. It was as if the words 'wealthy young master' were written on his forehead. It wasn't surprising that he had bagged a girl so easily. Nowadays, there were three ways to flirt, money, money, and money.
Liu Lili took out her cell phone after sitting in the car, "I'll call her out."
3 girls came out altogether. Each one of them had worn pretty dresser and makeup. Their clothes were quite attractive and revealing, especially the girl in the middle. She had an internet celebrity like face, had a tall and sexy figure.
The girls sat in the car, and they directly left for the nightclub.
As he couldn't cultivate even he stayed back in the dorm room, Jiang Xiu decided to accept Zheng Lun's goodwill and accompanied him.
Those girls went high after entering the nightclub. Jiang Xiu wondered why these people had joined the Imperial University. He realized that it was due to these nightclubs. One look was enough to tell that they were veterans.
The girl who they planned to introduce to him was Ye Rong, it was that girl with the celebrity face. Liu Lili spoke something to her on the dance floor after which she came out from there and sat opposite Jiang Xiu who was sitting alone.
"I'm called Ye Rong. You?"
"Jiang Xiu!"
Ye Rong continued, "I hear you have never had a girlfriend before? This matches my requirements. Your figure is pretty good too. Only, I have another requirement for a boyfriend, he must be rich, and his family's yearly income must be at least a few hundred thousand bucks. We can't always go out to have fun, and he must also give me money to spend."
"My family only has a yearly income of a few ten thousand bucks." Jiang Xiu replied.
Ye Rong furrowed her brows, "Aren't you from the Archaeology department?"
"I'm interested in archaeology, but that doesn't mean my home's well-off."
Ye Rong felt a bit disappointed as her sight wandered on his face. She was tempted by him as he gave off a mysterious feel which had quite an attractive force towards a girl and had also entered the Imperial University through a proper route which meant he was talented. He didn't have a girlfriend ever. But it was a pity.
She hesitated a bit. Her best friend had introduced him to her after seeing that his qualifications were pretty good.
Jiang Xiu sat alone and ate food while Ye Rong still worked at testing him. It was just that Jiang Xiu refused to reply to her. This made her frown as there was such a beauty sitting in front of him and accompanying him for a chat but he was acting in such a way.
A 20-year old youth walked over towards them at this moment and neared to Ye Rong, "Beauty, let me treat you to a cup of wine."
Ye Rong's figure was top-notch within the nightclub and easily attracted men.
"I'm with a friend."
"What friend?"
"Boyfriend, okay?"
The youth looked at Jiang Xiu with disdain, "There's not even a decent bottle of wine on the table…" He wore clothing of famous brands and a dazzling watch while holding a wine bottle worth 30,000 bucks. It was clear he was a wealthy young master.
"Looks like you're a student. Which place are you from?"
"Imperial University."
"Get out of here tactfully, or else you'll be crawling out from here." The youth threatened Jiang Xiu.
Jiang Xiu couldn't help but laugh. He felt that he really couldn't remain low-key as anyone would come up to bully him. His eyes gradually went cold, "You should get lost or else I'll make you crawl out from here."
"Fudge! You dare…"
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Xiu had already slapped him on the face. Deity Xiu's slap had directly broken two of his teeth.
"B-Brat, just wait for me. B-Brother Long…"
A dozen people from their table came over.
One of them broke the bottom of the beer bottle and threatened with the glass's sharp edge.
"Motherfucker! You dare hit my brother?!"
Ye Rong's face went pale while Jiang Xiu looked at these people indifferently. Nightclubs were such chaotic places. A person came out from the side. It was the man who drove the car for Secretary Ye in the morning. That man stood before Jiang Xiu and handed over the cell phone to him, "There's a call for you…"
He had actually followed Jiang Xiu.
After that, he turned back and looked towards those group of thugs with contempt.
Secretary Ye's voice came through from the other end, "I heard you got into trouble in the nightclub?"
"You are calling people? There's no use. No one can dare to make trouble at my Brother Long's domain…"
The bodyguard walked over towards them and said something to them. All of them dropped the bottles down, "Please forgive us for our blind remarks…" They escaped from there after saying that.
The bodyguard took the phone from Jiang Xiu then walked away.
Ye Rong looked at Jiang Xiu with a shocked face.
