“Alright then.”

Ao Ruize couldn’t help but be a little disappointed.

After all, if his manager had been willing to play matchmaker, then tonight he might have been able to sleep in his wife’s bed.

But now, he could only find another way.

The milk dumpling (system), having finally reacted, couldn’t help but cover its mouth and cough lightly: “Xiao Ruize, although this mission isn’t exactly easy, it’s not so bad that you need to stoop to selling your body.”

Worst case scenario, just like in the first world, they could go to the stock market and earn a massive sum of money first… and then go buy a few assassins to directly wipe out Xia Lewen and his entire family. That would solve it!

This was what Ao Ruize had taught it, after all!!
It had already learned its lesson!!
—So it genuinely thought Ao Ruize really just wanted to find a sugar daddy.

Ao Ruize subsequently said, “However, for the recent period, don’t arrange any gigs or announcements for me.”

“Did you forget? I still haven’t done my graduation project yet.”

Anyway, quitting the entertainment industry was an absolute impossibility now. After all, his wife was right here; where else could he possibly run off to?!

The manager’s brow instantly furrowed.

Because wouldn’t this just be completely wasting the massive amount of traffic and heat he had right now?

She had originally been thinking that perhaps she could ride this easterly wind and push Ao Ruize up another tier.

But on second thought, if Ao Ruize chose to focus on studying right at the peak of this trend, if word got out, it seemed like it wouldn’t be a bad thing—it might even become a beautiful tale of his dedication.

Thinking of this, she reluctantly nodded: “Alright then.”

Most importantly—
“This is a good opportunity for you to take the junior-college-to-bachelor’s upgrade exam.”

Ao Ruize: “…I’ll try my best.”

“Oh right,” the manager said, “Go back the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow night there’s a welcome party at the company, prepared for Little President Qin. Everyone in the company will be there.”

After all, the old President Qin had already decided to retire. From now on, Little President Qin would be the one providing them with their food and clothing.

Most importantly, this Little President Qin wasn’t someone who had only climbed to a high position by relying on the shade of his father’s generation. In fact, if the old President Qin hadn’t insisted on him taking over Wanhe Entertainment, he would currently be sitting in the office of the Vice General Manager of Shuqi Bank in M Country—not to mention that the company he founded himself had already rung the bell and gone public in M Country.

Under these circumstances, they absolutely couldn’t leave a bad impression on this Little President Qin.

Hearing this, Ao Ruize’s eyebrows instantly shot up.

How did the saying go again? When the manager closes a door on you, she will definitely open a window for you.

“Understood.”

The manager: “…”
Looking at Ao Ruize’s expression, she had the unshakable feeling that something had slipped out of her control.

But she very quickly threw this matter to the back of her mind, because aside from a board director accidentally knocking over a stack of wine glasses, until the party ended, no one caused any trouble or weird drama.

So if Qin Xiuyan were to evaluate this party, he would not hesitate to use the word “satisfied.”

The secretary couldn’t help but say, “No wonder people in the industry say Wanhe is the cleanest place in the entertainment circle. Looking at it now, this praise truly doesn’t contain any moisture.”

As they spoke, they arrived at Qin Xiuyan’s room.

Qin Xiuyan took out his room card and swiped the door open while saying, “Mm, the old man has always done a very good job when it comes to upholding principles and bottom lines.”

This was also the main reason why he had agreed to take over Wanhe.

“It’s also because the employees under the company all know how to keep themselves clean and haven’t thrown away the old man’s or the company’s face…”

Little did he expect that right at this moment, a cheerful voice would ring out beside his ear: “Little President Qin, you’re back…”

Qin Xiuyan and the secretary subconsciously looked toward the source of the voice. They saw that on the living room sofa, a young man was currently lying down, wearing an extremely short bathrobe. The belt around his waist was tied loosely, leaving his chest half-exposed.

However, in the next second, his voice came to an abrupt halt—

Ao Ruize, who had just spotted the secretary beside Qin Xiuyan: “…”
I was careless!

And almost at the exact same time, the milk dumpling’s voice rang out in his mind: “Xiao Ruize, I’ve thought of a way to deal with the Xia family… Wait, what are you doing?”

The milk dumpling was completely dumbfounded.

It looked at Ao Ruize, and then looked at Qin Xiuyan across from him—did it even need to guess what Ao Ruize was doing?

The milk dumpling broke down directly.

“Wuwuwu, you scumbag! I thought you were genuinely preparing to sacrifice yourself for the mission, but it turns out you set your sights on my wife again…”

“…And in the past, you would at least put on a cover-up! Now you’re not even pretending to act anymore—”

However, in the next second, it suddenly disconnected.

This time, it was genuinely angered into disconnecting.

Ao Ruize: “…”

And right at this moment, Qin Xiuyan reacted, and reflexively slammed the door shut.

The secretary, who was directly hit by the door and almost fell flat on his face because he couldn’t stand steadily: “…”

If he remembered correctly, the young man inside should be Xia Ruize, who was currently at the peak of his popularity.

He didn’t even need to guess to know what Xia Ruize was here to do.

Didn’t you just say Wanhe is the cleanest place in the entertainment circle?

Also… wait, Little President Qin, isn’t your reaction a little bit off?

Qin Xiuyan also froze.

Why the hell did he close the door?
And wasn’t his movement a little too practiced?

But none of that was important. What was important was the young man in front of him.

Seeing that Ao Ruize had already properly pulled his bathrobe closed, his mood inexplicably improved a little.

Though in the next second, his brow furrowed again: “Mr. Xia Ruize?”
“What are you doing?”

Without his face turning red or his heart skipping a beat, Ao Ruize said, “Isn’t it obvious?”

Qin Xiuyan: “…”
You’re actually quite proud of it???

Qin Xiuyan’s brow instantly furrowed even tighter, and his tone followed suit, becoming much stricter: “Mr. Xia, one must walk their own path to make it wider. Taking shortcuts will only lead you into an abyss of eternal damnation…”

“Most importantly, if a person wants to earn the respect of others, they must first learn to respect themselves. Otherwise, no matter how high you climb, it will be useless.”

Ao Ruize: “…”
When you hinted at me to strip completely naked and seduce you before, and when you were riding me later, that wasn’t what you said??

But before he could react, Qin Xiuyan added, “Furthermore, Wanhe shouldn’t have ever mistreated you, right? Then you should be even less inclined to do something like this.”

He stepped sideways and prepared to pull the door open: “So please go back.”
“For the sake of you being an artist under Wanhe, I won’t tell anyone about what happened today.”

However, after saying that, he paused.

Because he thought of one thing—which was that right now, people were coming and going outside. If someone saw Ao Ruize coming out of his room, Ao Ruize’s reputation would definitely be affected.

So he immediately added, “Forget it, I’ll let you stay in this room. I’ll go book another room.”

After saying that, he directly opened the door and walked out.

Ao Ruize: “…”
His wife hadn’t even taken a second glance at his body before leaving.

So his wife… had gotten tired of the ‘love at first hook’ routine?

Then what should he do now?
Hook him a few more times?

Ao Ruize understood.

However, before doing that, he still had one more thing to do.

Early the next morning, Ao Ruize went straight back to the school the original owner had attended.

The full name of the original owner’s school was Hai City Vocational College of Electronic Technology. The original owner’s major was Chemistry, and his graduation project was to create a battery suitable for regular smartphones.

“Holy shit, Third Bro?”
The moment the guys from Dorm 503 came back, they saw the dorm door wide open. At first, they thought a thief had broken in, but when they pushed the door open to look, they realized it was actually Ao Ruize inside.

They immediately charged in.

Dorm Boss: “The sun has risen from the west! A busy man like you actually has time to come back!”
Second Bro: “Oh right, you’re a big star now! You gotta give us an autograph first.”
Fourth Bro: “Exactly. That way, maybe in the future when we’re tight on cash, we can sell your autographs to solve our urgent needs. After all, you have so many brain-de… fanatic fans.”

Ao Ruize: “…”
Ao Ruize smiled and said, “Just shut up, you.”

Boss: “Telling us to shut up? You genuinely don’t have the right to do that right now.”
Second Bro: “Because we are all your creditors right now.”

Ao Ruize: “Creditors?”

Boss: “Back when Xia Lewen’s fans were chasing you down and scolding you, the few of us, plus the other students in the class, stayed up late for two days straight just to help you scold them back.”

Ao Ruize: “Thank you for believing in me so much.”

Fourth Bro: “How could we not believe in you? After all, you are our good son, closer than if you were our biological one! Besides, with your personality and EQ, could you possibly do something that outrageous?”

Ao Ruize: “…”

Fourth Bro was still indignant: “The most important thing is, they actually dared to mock your educational background!”
“So what if you only tested into a junior college? Did you eat their rice? Did you drink their water?”
“Besides, if I hadn’t had a 39-degree fever during the college entrance exam and forgot to write my name on the language paper, it’s completely uncertain who would be attending the better school right now!”

The genuine academic slackers, Boss & Second Bro: “…”

The two exchanged a glance, then one covered Fourth Bro’s mouth and the other grabbed his legs, directly throwing him out.
“Just shut up, you.”

Only then did they notice the documents in Ao Ruize’s hands. The Boss stopped the motion of dusting off his hands: “Huh, you’re looking at your graduation project? Perfect timing, our graduation projects are also batteries. We compiled some materials a while ago, we’ll send them all to you in a bit.”

“No need,” Ao Ruize said, “I’m planning to change my research topic.”

“What?”
Boss: “It’s already December, and you’re changing your topic?”
But then he remembered that Xia Ruize hadn’t done much on the battery topic anyway, so whether he changed it or not didn’t seem to make much difference.
He asked again: “Then what topic are you planning to change to?”

Ao Ruize: “Smartphone screens.”

Boss: “…If I remember correctly, our major is Chemistry—”

Ao Ruize smiled and said, “I know.”

He also knew that the Xia family was the largest manufacturer of smartphone screen protectors in the country.
