“Don’t ‘you… you…’, quickly order something to drink,” Xu Ruoyun actually blushed.

“Oh… okay,” I don’t know why, but looking at the Xu Ruoyun in front of me, I felt a special feeling in my heart.

“I’ll have a cup of Cappucina,” I said to the waitress.

“Kapocainao? What’s that?” The waitress repeated weirdly.

“Pu—— Haha,” I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Xu Ruoyun looked at me sideways, then said to the waitress,” He wants Kabuqinuo!”

The waitress nodded and left, when she left, her murmured, “Kabuqinuo is Kabuqinuo, why would you say Kapocainao…”

I shook my head speechlessly, the Songjiang city in 1995 didn’t have those proper coffee shops like in the future, the coffee shops right now was primarily selling juice and cold drinks, and had more of a Huaxia culture.

This waitress actually didn’t know what Cappuccino was.

“You’re showing off you that you know English!” After the waitress left, Xu Ruoyun glared at me in dissatisfaction.

“E…” I really didn’t know what to say, I would always order like this in my previous life.

“I’m sorry, calling you out to drink coffee with me so early in the morning,” Xu Ruoyun said with a smile.

“No problem, you’re Zhao Yanyan’s good friend!” I said perfunctorily. What did the chick ask me to come out for? She can’t have just wanted to get me to treat her to coffee right!

“Oh… I thought the two of us are good friends,” Xu Ruoyun said disappointedly.

“Yeah, of course we are,” Seeing her like this, I immediately added. However I regretted it right after saying that, I clearly saw a hint of craftiness flash across her eyes.

“Liu Lei, do you remember when we first met?” Xu Ruoyun drank a mouthful of coffee and said.

“… That time when we were going to Yanjing?” I asked.

“En, I felt like you were so annoying at the time, always picking out other people’s bad points,” Xu Ruoyun said with a red face.

“Did I?” I was already really confused due to this chick, so I said casually.

“You forgot?” Xu Ruoyun said in disappointment.

“No, no, how would I forget. Who made it so that you were so rude to your grandpa!” I remembered how disrespectful the little chick was on the train.

“En, you had even scolded me justly at the time, you were so cool!” Xu Ruoyun said with a red face.

“Hehe…” I laughed dryly and didn’t know what to say. Why do I feel like the atmosphere is so weird? This chick can’t be crazy right? Is her brain messed up or am I day dreaming!

Suddenly, Xu Ruoyun said loudly, “Liu Lei, I love you.”

I looked dumbly at little chick Xu, what is she doing? It’s like she’s confessing to me? ****, was I hallucinating because I didn’t sleep well last night?

However, I don’t know why, but I felt a hint of sweetness in my heard, could it be that I had fallen for this chick that was normally rude to me?

Just as my mind was wandering, I heard a roar. I looked towards the direction of the voice, and noticed a man was standing beside us, his face full of anger.

Of course, this angry teen was Li Boliang.

“What are the two of you doing?” Li Boliang pointed at us and shouted. “Ruoyun, you really fell for this man! You disappoint me too much, you actually fall for such a piece of trash!”

“Who did you say is trash?” I raised my head and looked coldly at Li Boliang. He has the right to like and pursue Xu Ruoyun, I have no way of interfering with that, but I naturally would not allow him to say I’m trash for no reason.

“Heh, who knows,” Li Boliang snorted. “Making a Shugaung input method, it is someone else’s, but you had to say it’s your own.”

“Whether it is mine or not, the newspaper already clarified,” I said emotionlessly. If it wasn’t for the fact that Xu Ruoyun didn’t have much to do with me, I would have slapped this Li Boliang already.

However, I felt there must be more to it to Xu Ruoyun’s sudden confession.

“Newspaper? You just bribed the press,” Li Boliang twitched his mouth. “The truth is above arguments, why would the press say that before? Why did they apologize due to pressure later? A smart person would see the issue with it in one go.”

“Think whatever you want, I don’t want to explain these things to some extremist like you,” I eyed Li Boliang, then said faintly. It’s his problem however he wants to think, I can’t control him.

“Heh, Xu Ruoyun, I won’t give up!” Li Boliang knew that he was losing in reason, and can’t argue with me, so he just said hatefully. “Liu Lei, watch out! We’ll see!”

After that, he walked quickly out of the coffee shop.

Why did Li Boliang appear here? Also what did the thing Xu Ruoyun said to me mean? I looked at Xu Ruoyun with a face full of confusion.

The chick was already completely red, she stayed silent for a moment, before slowly saying to me, “Liu Lei, just now… just now the situation was rather special. I accidentally bumped into Li Boliang in the coffee shop, he said a lot of stuff like how he likes me, basically he just wouldn’t let go -of me, and he just had to make me agree to be his girlfriend. In the heat of the moment, I lied to him and said that I already had a boyfriend, Li Boliang didn’t believe me, so I could only tell him that I came here for a date with my boyfriend,” Xu Ruoyun paused a bit before continuing. “Then, you know everything that followed, he just had to wait and see who my boyfriend was. The situation as rather tense just now, so I couldn’t tell you earlier, and could only act out the scene just now.”

After Xu Ruoyun said this, I instantly understood everything! So she was acting the whole time! My brain buzzed, and my heart instantly had a feeling of loss.

Although I knew everything that happened was rather weird just now, but I still had some unusual feelings. I even had a wishful thought that everything that happened would be real.

However, everything was just a lie, I became Xu Ruoyun’s shield, this made me a bit furious in my head, I was used by her from the start, yet I still laughably thought that it was real! I was really too dumb, too naïve…

However, it wasn’t really much after thinking through it, having Xu Ruoyun think of me to be her shield also proved her trust towards me, and I can’t disappoint this trust, thinking about that, the issue in my heart also dissipated a little.

“Sorry… I…” Seeing that I was expressionless, and my face was rather dark, Xu Ruoyun thought I was angry, and carefully apologized to me.

“It’s alright,” I chuckled while my emotions returned to normal. I already had Yanyan and Weier, two spectacular women, what’s the point in thinking so much about useless matters.

“…” After saying that Xu Ruoyun’s face was also bright red, and she felt extremely embarrassed. After all, she had just said “I love you” to me in front of so many people.

“What’s going on here? Didn’t you tell me that his input method was plagiarized? Why did the newspaper clarify it?” Xu Ruoyun heard a copy of Songjiang Morning Post and questioned.

“About this… It is plagiarized, who knew that the Shuguang Corporation’s power is so huge, actually forcing the media to apologize…” Li Boliang had no more confidence anymore, even he couldn’t be sure of whether it is plagiarized or not. Although Shuguang Corporation was extremely powerful, if their software was really plagiarized, how could they make such a huge deal of apologizing and clarifying? Any other people would have just admitted their misfortune.

“Li Boliang, are you treating me like an idiot? Plagiarized? I think you have ulterior motives!” Xu Ruoyun snorted.

“Ruoyun, don’t be blinded by that fellow! This is for your own good, so you can see him for what he really is,” Li Boliang explained.

“For my own good? You did it for yourself! Li Boliang, I can clearly tell you that, from this point onward, the two of us have no relationship anymore, we aren’t even friends!” Xu Ruoyun said coldly.

“Ruoyun, don’t get angry! I admit, I’m selfish! I did it all for you! However, this is because I like you!” Li Boliang immediately got anxious, originally he thought his passionate article could cause Liu Lei’s fame to fall to the ground. He didn’t expect this problem, before this thing could be built up, it was clarified the next day, the editor Wang Deyi that held him was also arrested. This made Li Boliang infinitely speechless.

“Like me? There are many people that like me,” Xu Ruoyun was not moved at all.

“But before you met Liu Lei, wasn’t our relationship quite good? Even if we weren’t a couple, we were really good friends!” Li Boliang asked without giving up.

“It was because I thought you were a rather just person before, but I had always treated you as my older brother, there is no feelings of men and women involved!” Xu Ruoyun said without mercy.

“Heh! I think you most likely fell for that little white face, Liu Lei, right!” Li Boliang couldn’t stand it anymore and said angrily.

“I just like him, so what! I admit, are you happy now!” Xu Ruoyun left a sentence behind, before she turned around and left.

Li Boliang stood dumbly on spot, he knew that he lost, and it was a complete and utter loss. However, he could not think of the reason why he couldn’t gain Xu Ruoyun’s affection despite being so excellent. As the president of the Songjiang Computing Association, he had achievements since young, and didn’t use any relations with his family to gain a sponsor for the association from a foreign business, he, who was twenty, was far more mature than others his own age. The entire time, he didn’t have a low number of girls pursuing him, but all of them were due to his family background. Only Xu Ruoyun was not attracted by money. The reason Xu Ruoyun could become his friend at the time, was solely due to his own talent.

The first time Li Boliang came into contact with Xu Ruoyun, he was really shocked. Li Boliang have seen many beauties, but this was the first time he has met one that had both beauty and intelligence. Li Boliang had always thought of beautiful girls as flower vases, but Xu Ruoyun gave a different feeling to him. Ever since the two of them came into contact, their relationship gradually improved, Li Boliang also thought that Xu Ruoyun would become his girlfriend sooner or later, he never expected such a change in the middle.

Actually Li Boliang had immediately regretted it after sending the article attacking Shuguang Corporation to the press. Ignoring the fact that he had no actual solid evidence, if Shuguang Corporation pursued the matters, then the results would be really severe. That’s why after the newspaper was published, he didn’t show himself anymore.

That morning, I was sleeping nicely on my bed, when the sudden ringing of my mobile phone woke me up from my dreams. I was dreaming about Xia Jing having returned to my side, and the two of us were preparing to recall the feeling of that day, but then I woke up.

“Hey!” I furiously picked up the phone. I looked at my watch, it was only a little past seven. Who was it so early in the morning?

“Hey, Liu Lei. I’m Xu Ruoyun,” the pleasant female voice came from the other side of the call. However, I didn’t care much about this voice.

“You’re looking for Yanyan right, she’s not with me…” I sweat, this chick can’t have come to catch us in bed so earlier in the morning right.

“… I’m looking for you.” Xu Ruoyun said after a brief silence.

“For me? For what?” I asked weirdly. There doesn’t seem to be much relationship between her and I.

“Yeah, do you have time? I have somethings I want to ask you about,” Xu Ruoyun said.

“Now?” I crawled up from the bed and stretched.

“Yeah,” Xu Ruoyun said.

“Sure, then wait for me,” I said, then hung up. Suddenly I realized that something was wrong, and that’s…

The mobile phone rang again.

I picked up, and heard little chick Xu said angrily, “Liu Lei, why did you hang up the phone? Do you know where to find me?”

“E… About this…” I also just noticed the issue.

“Heh, the coffee shop in front of Fourth High, hurry up, take a cab. Also, bring a bit more money, you’re paying later,” she didn’t wait for me to reply before hanging up.

Ten minutes later, my Jetta parked outside the coffee shop near Fourth High.

This was where I met Chen Yong last time, I didn’t think little chick Xu also like this atmosphere.

I entered, and noticed that Xu Ruoyun, also known as little comrade lightbulb, was sitting in a couples seat in a corner drinking coffee.

I really don’t know what this chick is thinking, not sitting in so many empty double tables, and just had to sit in that spot, I don’t know what Zhao Yanyan and Chen Weier would say if they saw this.

I directly walked over, and sat opposite Xu Ruoyun. I didn’t think that little chick Xu actually smiled when she saw me, handed me the menu and asked, “What do you want to order?”

This was the first time Xu Ruoyun smiled at me for no reason, causing me to not know what to do all of a sudden. I even thought about whether the person in front of me was Xu Ruoyun, this was a completely different person from the little light bulb that would oppose me for no reason normally.

“Don’t you know that it is a rude to just stare at a girl? I… am shy!” Seeing that I gazed at me, Xu Ruoyun blushed, and said awkwardly.

She really wasn’t going to give up until she shocked me, hearing this, I went completely dumb. I nearly went under the table. “You… You…” I wasn’t sure what’s going on, even though I was rather mature mentally, I was still confused by this chick. Did this person have dual personalities?

“After a few days? Whether or not your shop can continue to open after a few days all depends on your current performance!” Wang-ge said expressionlessly.

“Okay, okay I’ll immediately pay, immediately pay,” the coarse voice freaked, and immediately got obedient.

I told the coarse voice my bank account number, and he immediately called the bank to transfer the money.

Ten minutes later, my checked that my account indeed had an extra six hundred and eighty eight thousand and eight hundred Yuan. Then I nodded in satisfaction to Wang-ge, before taking the two girls out of the fur store. I threw the fur coat I just bought casually to the side, even if stuff of this quality was given to me, I wouldn’t take it.

The coarse voice felt terrible, no matter how stupid he is, he could tell that I called the people from the Trade and Industrial Bureau over, but he couldn’t say anything either, he was doing things by the books, and did not cross the line at all. The coarse voice sighed, and held the fine Wang-ge gave him, he really suffered a loss that he could only keep quiet about this time.

“Hubby, you were so cool just now!” Chen Weier held my hand, and stuck excitedly by my side.

“Of course, you need to look at who your hubby is!” I said proudly. I spent a million to trash a Mercedes in the morning, not even half a day has passed before getting back nearly seven hundred thousand. Although this money wasn’t much to me, it still made my mood great.

“Yeah, I had thought you only knew how to solve things with violence! Liu Lei, I never thought that you are pretty good at plotting against people!” Zhao Yanyan also said happily.

“It can’t be, is your hubby just a simple minded, fool with a developed five limbs?” I chuckled and asked.

“Five limbs? Isn’t it four limbs?” Chen Weier asked weirdly.

Zhao Yanyan has been with me longer, and had a bit of understanding ability with this sort of speech. She immediately thought of what I meant by developed five limbs, she blushed, glared at me, and said, “Pervert!”

However, Chen Weier didn’t understand, she looked weirdly at Zhao Yanyan and me, “What’s going on? What does this have to do with pervert?”

I just kept a naughty smile on the side, causing Chen Weier to hold Zhao Yanyan and ask, “Yanyan-meimei, what exactly is going on?”

Zhao Yanyan looked at me, and wasn’t sure of how to reply. This sort of thing could only be communicated with meaning and not with words, how could a girl say this out loud.

How would Chen Weier know this, she looked at the ambiguous expression between Zhao Yanyan and I, and thought that we had some secret that we were keeping from her, thus she pouted unhappily and said, “Are you two treating me as an outsider, hiding everything from me.”

Zhao Yanyan couldn’t help it, glared at me sideways, then muttered a few sentences beside Chen Weier’s ear shyly, Chen Weier’s cheeks immediately turned bright red, and said to me in dissatisfaction, “I really don’t know what’s in your head the entire day! Having such god grades despite always thinking about that!”

“Hehe, I wonder who it was that always says to me: I want… But their grades aren’t bad!” I mimicked the voice of the two girls on the bed and laughed.

“You’re still saying it!” The two girls shouted. What awaited me was series of little fists.

Ai, sometimes having a bit more wives might not be a good thing, if I had a few more in the future, wouldn’t I be beaten to death.

The two girls went on a shopping spree with my accompaniment. Originally Chen Weier wasn’t quite willing, but under Zhao Yanyan’ encouragement, the two bought a lot of the same clothes, even the same underwear. If you didn’t know you would think the two were sisters. I didn’t have any complaint, fully showing off my upstart abilities, and just kept on spending money without twitching an eyebrow. In fact, I was a little happy, I was scared that they would just walk and not buy anything, that would be even worse. I rather finish buying quickly.

Only then did I notice how great the initial idea of me buying a car was, the stuff I bought could be send to the trunk at any time Otherwise wouldn’t I, this free baggage carrier, be tired to death.

After shopping, the two girls first went back to the Zhao Yanyan’s family’s mansion in the development area, I explained to them for a bit, then raced straight to Shuguang Corporation after telling that Uncle Zhao had some business with me.

Walking out from Zhao Junsheng’s mansion, I looked at the construction area nearby, and sighed in secret. The real estate industry was immediately going into its peak, I wonder if I can get a share from it? Songjiang city in 1995 had business opportunities everywhere, casually throwing out a bit of experience from my previous life could great a millionaire. However, what I lacked right now was talented people, if an industry didn’t have a god leader, then any money and experience was pointless. This made me think of a sentence I often heard in my previous life: What’s the most important thing in this society, it’s talent!

No matter when this sentence was put, it was an unmovable truth.

According to Uncle Zhao, personnel already went over to give out the appropriate punishment to Songjaing Morning Post. They will clarify the truth on tomorrow’s newspaper. Although they have issued a callback for today’s newspaper, all of the newspaper stands already sold out, and it was pretty much impossible for a callback.

“Did you find out who was behind this?” After I closed the door, I said to Zhao Junsheng.

“It’s the result of one of their editors called Wang Deyi at their company, the person that sent the article in promised to give him twenty thousand kuai after it was done,” Zhao Junsheng said.

“Twenty thousand kuai? This fellow is too daring! Then would he dare to print some **** pics if he was given some money?” I said. This person was too easy to fool, selling the headline for twenty thousand kuai.

“That’s difference! They have their limits, it isn’t much problem printing about some insider news of businesses, but they made their mistake on printing about our Shuguang Corporation,” Zhao Junsheng said.

“What about that Wang Deyi?” I asked. I will definitely not let these petty people off easy, after all Shuguang Corporation was all established my me, it was like my children, -how could I let other people casually slander it.

“He was arrested because of bribery already,” Zhao Junsheng said.

I nodded, since the brat was caught, he can’t possibly come out that easily. Don’t look at how little his bribe seemed to be, but the crimes of defamation, abuse of power etc. was although to cause big trouble for him.

“Did they find the person that sent the article?” I asked.

“However, this person contacted Wang Deyi through the phone. However according to Wang Deyi, he hasn’t gotten the payment of twenty thousand even now, instead he got himself in trouble,” Zhao Junsheng smiled.

I’ll leave this thing temporarily like this. Following that, Songjiang Morning Post publicly apologized the next day, this incident with Shuguang Corporation also gradually faded from site. Some people even thought that this was a some sensational news by Shuguang Corporation itself.

I pretty much spent the entire winter break rolling around with Zhao Yanyan and Chen Weier. I would lie on the bed holding one in each arm whenever I have nothing to do. I don’t know why I turned so lazy, could I have gone into hibernation?
