150: Chapter 146: Men Should Be Ambitious 150: Chapter 146: Men Should Be Ambitious Driving for about fifteen to twenty minutes, Ye Fan drove into Hua Hai University campus, arriving at the dormitory building where Zeng Jingwei lived, and then called her to come down. Stepping out of the car, Ye Fan lazily leaned against the vehicle, waiting for Zeng Jingwei to come down. Coincidentally, a male college student nearby was holding a bouquet of roses, gazing at the girls’ dormitory, seemingly waiting for a girl from upstairs to come down. This college student, wearing thick glasses for severe myopia, turned his head and scrutinized Ye Fan with a look of hostility. Noticing the bespectacled student staring at him, Ye Fan courteously nodded his head in response. He understood the university student’s hostility. No male college student would be pleased to see a man from outside the campus driving in to pick up female university students. Unexpectedly, the bespectacled student said with a touch of arrogance and disdain, “With that wreck of a car, you’re dreaming of picking up a Hua Hai girl? Go rent a BMW and come back.” “Huh, pretty arrogant, huh?” Ye Fan chuckled. The bespectacled student immediately raised his face and huffed, “What do you think this place is? Hua Hai University, one of the top three prestigious universities in the country! With that clunker, you dream of getting a Hua Hai girl? Pure fantasy!” Ye Fan remained unbothered, replying with a light smile, “Of course my car can’t pick up a Hua Hai girl, but I personally can.” The bespectacled student was about to retort when he suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on the stairwell ahead. Ye Fan also looked over, seeing Zeng Jingwei wearing blue skinny jeans and a white T-shirt spray-painted with a large music symbol walking down. Simple attire couldn’t hide her natural beauty. Especially her tall and slender figure over 1.7 meters seemed to stand out, head and shoulders above the crowd wherever she went. “Nice beauty there. You’re not waiting for her, are you?” Ye Fan casually remarked. The bespectacled student replied, “Of course she’s great, she is the belle of our faculty, how could she be anything less? A top-class beauty with looks, figure, and intelligence all in one—she’s not someone I can get. I’m not unreasonable like you, driving a beater into Hua Hai to pick up girls.” “Ah, but a man should have some ambition,” Ye Fan said with a faint smile. “Ambition? Sounds nice, but if you’re so capable, try and pick her up,” the bespectacled student said sarcastically. The “her” he referred to was naturally Zeng Jingwei. While the two men were quietly trading barbs, Zeng Jingwei steadily approached Ye Fan. “Brother Fan,” Zeng Jingwei called out with a smile, her voice clear and melodious, as she was still more than two meters away from Ye Fan. Ye Fan stood upright and nodded gently with a smile towards Zeng Jingwei, saying, “Yeah. Get in the car.” With that, he didn’t go up to greet Zeng Jingwei and didn’t help her open the car door, instead getting into the driver’s seat himself. Zeng Jingwei, with her amazingly long and slender legs, walked past the petrified bespectacled student, circled past the tail of the second-hand Citroen, opened the passenger door, and sat down in the co-pilot’s seat. It wasn’t until Ye Fan drove away with Zeng Jingwei that the bespectacled student came back to his senses. Sometime during the exchange, the bouquet in his hands had dropped to the ground. “F*ck, a fine woman snagged by a swine, a fresh flower stuck in cow dung!” the bespectacled student cursed resentfully, “If it had been a rich second generation or an official’s kid, I would have let it slide, but F*CK, he’s actually…” He sulked for a moment, then mumbled to himself, “But he’s a bit right. A man should have ambition. Alright, I’m done waiting on that dinosaur, Zhang Xiaoyu; I’ll pursue our class belle, He Lili, instead!” In the car, Ye Fan drove while asking Zeng Jingwei, “What have you been up to these past two or three days?” “I’ve already quit my summer job. These past few days, I bought some music books and have been self-studying music theory, practicing my singing in the morning,” Zeng Jingwei replied truthfully. Having truly interacted with Ye Fan for only three days, her trust in him was mostly based on her brother’s last words, and she wasn’t fully aware of Ye Fan’s true capabilities. Nevertheless, even without Ye Fan’s support, she would still pursue her dream of music. Now, she was alone with no concerns, free to live entirely for herself. Moreover, with the compensation of 217,000 yuan received from the military for her brother’s sacrifice, she had enough to support her pursuit of a musical dream for a while. Hearing that Zeng Jingwei wasn’t immersed in sorrow all day, Ye Fan felt much relieved. Then, he remembered he needed to find her a music teacher and said, “I’m planning to find you a master-level music teacher. Do you have any ideal music teacher in mind?” “I don’t understand these things,” Zeng Jingwei shook her head. “If there are two renowned teachers, one in Sijiucheng and one in Hua Hai City, and the one in Sijiucheng is a bit more skilled, from whom would you intend to learn?” Ye Fan asked. Common sense suggested that Sijiucheng, being the capital, was a cultural hub and the center of culture and art for the entire country, so he expected that the most prominent music teachers might be there. “The one in Hua Hai City,” Zeng Jingwei immediately replied. “Sijiucheng is far and unfamiliar to me.” “Okay, after we eat and go back, you should search online for information on Yan Yusong and Zhou Yumei, these two famous music teachers, and see which one interests you more,” Ye Fan said. “Alright, thank you, Brother Fan,” Zeng Jingwei nodded. Ye Fan smiled faintly and said, “Thank what? I am your brother.” Some ten minutes later, in a mid-range restaurant’s private room, Qin Mengyao, wearing a long wig and a light blue lady’s dress, held hands with He Lili, who was dressed brightly and sensuously, engaging in intimate conversation in front of Ye Fan, both displaying a deep sisterly bond. When Ye Fan introduced Zeng Jingwei to them, Qin Mengyao initially acted somewhat aloof since she didn’t know Zeng Jingwei’s actual background. However, when she saw how warmly He Lili treated Zeng Jingwei, affectionately holding her jade-like hand and complimenting her tall and great figure, and her beautiful appearance, she immediately sensed something and quickly changed her attitude, becoming very friendly with Zeng Jingwei, calling her “sister” non-stop. Zeng Jingwei was greatly surprised by Qin Mengyao and He Lili’s enthusiasm. Although she had not yet entered society, she still had some discernment, and from their clothing, temperament, and conversation, she could tell the two beautiful girls were from either wealthy or noble backgrounds and naturally had an air of arrogance. Yet at this moment, they were eagerly trying to please her. She didn’t think she possessed such great charm to make Qin Mengyao and He Lili treat her with such an unchanged, sister-like affection. So, there was only one explanation. She couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Ye Fan, seeing him watching them with a smile. When she looked his way, he nodded slightly, still smiling. “What’s Brother Fan’s real story? Before my brother passed away, he said, as long as I cherish my luck, Brother Fan could ensure I live a life without worry and smooth sailing.” She thought to herself. The meal took almost an hour and a half, with both Qin Mengyao and He Lili skillfully creating a convivial atmosphere, steering the conversation, so there was constant laughter and everyone was happy. Zeng Jingwei also became increasingly familiar with Qin Mengyao and He Lili. Seeing the relaxed smile on Zeng Jingwei’s pretty face, Ye Fan felt pleased. After the meal, both Qin Mengyao and He Lili suggested they continue to find a place to have fun. Concerned about Qin Mengyao’s reliability, Ye Fan let He Lili lead the way. He Lili proudly drove Ye Fan and the others to a private club to have fun. Of course, this club wasn’t the kind of extravagant, money-splurging club. She also had an astute mind and knew that Ye Fan didn’t intend to let Zeng Jingwei enter that life of gold and material intoxication.
