At Yu Guang KTV.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting!”

Lu Xian pushed open the door and smiled at the three people sitting on the sofa.

If Wang Dong was present, he would definitely be able to immediately recognize their identities. From left to right, they were Rui, Lei Clancheng, and Jiaze.

When Zuo Mei walked in, the three of them were stunned!

Jiaze said, “There are women in your band? She’s pretty good looking. Is she single? Or does she have a boyfriend?”

“You don’t look bad either.. Zuo Mei, what do you think of him?”

Ah Rong asked casually. After all, they all understood that Zuo Mei’s selection criteria wasn’t high. As long as the other party looked good, it was fine. The other party’s personality didn’t matter either. In any case, it was just for fun.

Immediately, Zuo Mei thought of Wang Dong. Because of his appearance, her long-awaited heart started beating again.

Perhaps she could really get together with him?

“…No, I won’t be like before anymore.”

Little Wei said in surprise, “What changed?”

“People have to change in the right direction, right?” Zuo Mei retorted.

A hint of understanding flashed in Ah Rong’s eyes, but he didn’t say it out loud.

After they all sat down, Lei Jiacheng lowered his head and drank a few glasses of wine. He looked depressed, as if he had a knot in his heart.

Rui was the first to break the silence. “I heard you guys went to perform in Hellens?”

“Yes, it’s very lively over there.”

Lu Xian paused and continued, “Zuo Mei also encountered a student from the finance department. It’s said that he’s the author of the signing event there.”

With that said, the expressions of the three people became strange.

Lei Jiacheng suddenly placed the cup on the table and hurriedly asked, “Is his name Wang Dong?”

The band members weren’t sure either. They all looked at Zuo Mei. Seeing this, Zuo Mei asked in confusion, “You know him?”

“He stole my division leader position! He’s just a new student. Not only does he look down on people all day, but he even threatened us. He said that if we go against him again, he’ll kick us out!”

Lei Jiacheng said angrily, “The only reason why the teacher and the student council supported him was because he got full marks in the pre-test! If I had his freaking brain, I would have long become the division leader!”

“Boss, even a teacher can’t answer the questions on that exam. With the brains of ordinary people, it’s really…”

In the next second, before Jiaze could finish speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by Rui.

“How can you undermine Brother Lei like this!? Although he’s a researcher specially hired by the research center, broke the record by winning a bunch of awards for the literary club, and even got the sponsorship from the lady boss..”

“But! He’s still nothing compared to Boss!”

Lei Jiacheng gritted his teeth and slapped the two of them respectively!

“If you’re praising me, so be it. Why the hell do you have to bring up Wang Dong!”

Was that a compliment or an insult!?

What a lousy teammate!

Jiaze said in confusion, “Boss, I’m really praising you. I simply repeated what that kid did.”

“What the hell do you know! It was fine until you drew the comparisons. Where’s your brain?!” Lei Jiacheng said in disappointment.

Ah Rong said in shock, “I heard that many geniuses have gathered at the research center of Lin Liu. Did the author of Twilight also get in?”

Genius?

Wang Dong was a genius!

Zuo Mei suddenly realized that she was too insignificant compared to the other party. The two of them couldn’t be compared at all.

She had never gone to university, and not only had Wang Dong gone to a famous university, but he had also become an influential figure on campus.

The former lived in a daze, while the latter had a bright future.

Apart from being childhood friends, there was nothing between them.

Not long ago, she had even comforted herself that Wang Dong would not despise her. But she now wondered if she could really be worthy of him.

Everything had changed now.

She had not gone to school for a few years. Although people often said that she played the bass very well and had good talent, this was simply an insignificant advantage she had compared to Wang Dong.

There were many beautiful and smart girls in Lin Liu. How could she possibly catch Wang Dong’s eye?

She lowered her head and held back her tears.

In the future, I want to be Wang Dong’s bride.

She had remembered saying this casually ten years ago when she was young. Back then, she thought it was really possible.

But now she had to face reality. They weren’t from the same world at all!

Even looking at Wang Dong from afar was a luxury for her.

Meanwhile, Lei Jiacheng was still badmouthing Wang Dong. “I heard that Wang Dong entered the finance department as the last place. I think that the reason why he could get such a high score in the pre-test was probably because he had connections right? That’s why he knew the answer in advance. As for that bullshit novel, he’s probably marketing it himself!”

He paused for a moment and continued, “Also, how could that lady boss give Wang Dong the sponsorship fee just because of a book? There’s definitely something between those two. Otherwise, why can he do it, but we can’t? Why is everything going so smoothly for him? I don’t believe it!”

Jiaze wondered secretly why he never thought that it was because he was too lousy.

Rui echoed, “Boss is right! They must have made an unspeakable deal!”

Although there was no evidence in what Lei Jiacheng said, to those who didn’t know, this was the truth.

Lu Xian said proudly, “I knew it. How could such an outstanding person appear in the real world?! The rumors must have been exaggerated. In my opinion, Wang Dong is actually not that impressive.”

“…Was it really because of marketing? I personally think that his novel is really pretty good.” Little Wei said hesitantly.

Even if Ah Rong used his toes to think, he would still know that Lei Jiacheng was adding oil to the fire. After all, if the other party didn’t really live up to his name, why would the vice-principal still treat him like a treasure?

After the conversation just now, he realized that he had heard his teacher mention this a while ago—a true genius had appeared.

He wouldn’t doubt what his teacher had said, so the one with the problem would only be Lei Jiacheng.

In the end, wasn’t he just saying this because he couldn’t do what the other party did?

Seeing that the Lei Jiacheng trio and Lu Xian were getting more and more overboard, Zuo Mei slammed the table and stood up. “You don’t even understand Wang Dong, so what right do you have to say this about him?! Don’t you feel guilty for badmouthing him like this? Wang Dong isn’t that kind of person!”

She believed that Wang Dong was an open and honest person, and not the despicable person they described him to be.

Lu Xian countered, “So what if you say he isn’t? You guys haven’t seen each other for a few years, right? How do you know that he hasn’t changed?”

She couldn’t refute this.

However, Zuo Mei straightened her neck and said, “If I say he’s not, then he’s not! I grew up with him since I was young.. I know better than you what kind of person he is!”
