"Are we being too conspicuous here?" The crowd around them not only didn't disperse but seemed to be growing. At this rate, Lu Yiyao would soon become a celebrity at the school.
"Yeah, I'm actually quite shy. With so many people watching, I feel a bit embarrassed," Zhang Menglong said.
"You, embarrassed?" Lu Yiyao gave Zhang Menglong a look, "I remember someone who couldn't be stopped by ten bulls when it comes to talking nonsense."
"Right, let me introduce you. This is my roommate, Cici, Guo Yuqian." Lu Yiyao pulled the girl next to her closer.
"Hello," since she was Lu Yiyao's friend, Zhang Menglong naturally wouldn't ignore her, "Do you want to join us for something to eat?"
"Is that really okay?" Guo Yuqian glanced at the sports car not far away, which only had seating for two. Besides, it was their first meeting, and she didn't feel it was appropriate to intrude so heavily, "I have some other things to do, maybe next time."
In fact, Guo Yuqian really wanted to join them. She wasn't sure how rich Zhang Menglong was, but she was certain that dining with him would definitely be the most luxurious dinner she'd ever have. Not only that, she also wanted to experience what it felt like to sit in the passenger seat of a sports car.
But today really wasn't the right time, for a simple reason: she wasn't just Lu Yiyao's roommate; she was also her good friend. She was actually worried whether a guy like Zhang Menglong could be a jerk.
"Take good care of yourself. If you can't make it back to the dorm tonight, I'll call the police!" Guo Yuqian whispered into Lu Yiyao's ear.
"Got it, I promise I'll be back before 10 p.m.!" Lu Yiyao promised.
"That's better," In such a situation, Zhang Menglong naturally didn't want anyone intervening. His previous offer was just out of politeness, "Next time, I'll find a chance to treat your whole dorm to a meal."
"Alright, I'll remember that, and you better not back out!"
"If I do, Lu Yiyao could twist my head off!" Zhang Menglong joked.
"When have I ever been that violent?" Lu Yiyao suddenly wasn't pleased.
"Who was it last time during the game who said they'd twist my skull open?"
"Wasn't that because you were so bad at it? I don't know if you were practicing the 'Merciful Shooting Technique' or using a hack that can't even kill an enemy right in front of your face!"
"That's because you were messing around!"
The two couldn't help but start bickering again, even though it was technically their first formal meeting, they seemed like friends who had known each other for years.
"Enough chitchat, get in the car!" Zhang Menglong led the way to his car.
"You know Principal Wang?"
"Is it strange?" Zhang Menglong chuckled, "You might not believe it, but the guy who was slamming money on his head on the trending list last time, that was me!"
"The one who bought dozens of sports cars in one go, that was you?" Lu Yiyao exclaimed.
"Precisely, the humble me."
"That's it," Lu Yiyao slapped her forehead, "Going out with you today, I might end up on the trending list."
"What's there to be afraid of," Zhang Menglong laughed, "I can just buy Weibo and then whatever is on the trending list, wouldn't it be up to me?"
"You... I'm speechless."
...
"Who is it, bothering me at this time," Zhang Menglong had just parked the car, when his phone started ringing, "Damn, it's Wang Ling again."
Zhang Menglong's face showed his displeasure, but he still answered the call, "I say Principal Wang, why aren't you just hanging out with your internet celebrity girlfriend, having dinner, and doing it, always calling to bother me?"
"Damn, you actually ran off to Gusu District to meet a net friend today?"
"Yes? Didn't I tell you earlier, why would I lie to you?"
"You dog thief, you better open Weibo and see, you're trending!"
"What?" Zhang Menglong was stunned, "Seriously? I just met one person, and such a small thing got on Weibo trending?"
"Small thing?" Wang Ling directly shouted on the other side, "You drove that Koenigsegg CCVR, you could make the news wherever you go, okay? You're not keeping a low profile, and you went all guns blazing, looking for girls at Gusu University, now your photos and videos have been uploaded, you're famous!"
"Damn!" Zhang Menglong quickly opened Weibo, sure enough, the first post was about his video, in the video he was holding a phone and transferring money, although he was wearing a mask and didn't show his face, other photos were also uploaded online, his identity couldn't be hidden anymore!
"Shocking, billionaire looking for love-interest at Gusu University, wire transfers 100,000 on the spot to any helper! According to incomplete statistics, over a thousand participants, spending over a hundred million!"
"Hehehe," Wang Ling laughed mischievously over the phone, "From now on, the netizens don't need to just focus on me anymore, go ahead, let them fire at you!"
"Is that it?" Zhang Menglong was only shocked momentarily then regained his composure, having inherited the family fortune, it was only a matter of time before his identity and wealth were exposed, now it was just a bit earlier than expected.
"Since that's the case, I won't hide anymore," Zhang Menglong told Wang Ling, "Starting today, I, Zhang Menglong, am going to be the most dazzling man in the world!"
