Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list

"Damn, bro, you've really got it made; we single people are too ashamed to even speak up."

"Sorry to interrupt, sorry to interrupt."

"Let's play the game first. If anything comes up, just ping me on voice chat."

Luofeng smiled and sent a message, "Tomorrow I'll apologize to the bros by treating everyone to some of Shu City's specialty dishes."

"How about Nine-eyed Bridge? ;)"

"I've looked up Nine-eyed Bridge online, and I'm really hopeful about that place."

"Although I have no idea what Nine-eyed Bridge is, I don't dare to say anything or ask!"

Luofeng laughed. "Brothers, see you later. I'm going to ask the dorm manager for leave first."

He didn't head straight to the dorm. Instead, he went to the convenience store, bought two packs of Yuxi cigarettes, then asked for directions and headed to the dormitory building.

In the small room of the dorm manager on the first floor, this residential teacher looked to be in his forties, his face a bit weathered. Luofeng greeted him, "Hello, Teacher, I'm Luofeng from Dorm 302!"

"Hello, student. I'm the residential Teacher for this building; you can call me Teacher Yu," Teacher Yu said.

"Well, my situation is..."

Luofeng then explained his circumstances. He also placed the two packs of cigarettes, still in their black plastic bag, on the Teacher's desk.

"Sorry for the trouble, Teacher Yu... Here's a little something..."

Luofeng spoke with finesse. Aligned with the Teacher's wish list, Luofeng still made his move. With the wish list in hand, it's possible to analyze what the other person is thinking. If it's not going to work, then there's no point in giving anything.

But obviously, who wouldn't want a bit of an advantage when it's offered? Teacher Yu merely glanced at it and sighed inwardly. This new student really knows how to handle things.

But Luofeng also knew that local management mattered more than distant authorities; it was essential to establish good relations here.

"Luofeng, come, let's add each other on WeChat. In the future, we can just talk there—no need to come all the way here in this sweltering heat," Teacher Yu said.

"Yes, thank you, Teacher."

Luofeng added him on WeChat, said his goodbyes, and then started to head upstairs.

It was on the seventh floor. Good thing it's 302, huh? Otherwise, I'd be dead from climbing.

When he arrived at 302, Luofeng found the door open but still knocked.

A short guy came over. "Luofeng? Are you Brother Luofeng?"

Luofeng smiled. "You must be Brother Zhang Long, right?"

The term "brotherhood" is local slang. Luofeng knew this person must be a local, so it had to be Zhang Long.

"Yeah, I'm Zhang Long, a local from Shu City. If you need any help in the future, just tell me—don't be shy, we're all brothers here."

"Right, let me introduce you. This tall one with big ears is our brother WangGui, and the other guy is Li Hu."

After listening to Zhang Long's introductions, Luofeng then said, "Hello everyone, I'm Luofeng."

WangGui immediately replied warmly, "Hello, brother. I'm WangGui. I come from the east side of Taishan. And this is Li Hu, from Jinling. We've already given him a nickname: 'Gentleman.'"

"As in 'Gentleman' in writing, but 'pervert' in meaning?" Luofeng joked. Apparently, they were all part of this batch of exchange students.

They were new to the school as well. That's even better. No older students thinking they're awesome and picking on newcomers.

Looking at Li Hu, he did have a bit of a gentleman's appearance, dressed in a suit and dress pants...

"You're not the first one to call me Gentleman; I'm just too tired to argue," Li Hu said. "By the way, Brother Luo Feng, since you're the last to arrive, the spot by the balcony is yours. Please forgive the inconvenience."

Luofeng glanced around. It was a standard room for four: two bunk beds on each side with study desks below, complete with a balcony and a bathroom.

"I'm dying! Why does my girlfriend's school get air conditioning but we don't?"

After Luofeng said this, all of them looked at him simultaneously.

Luofeng looked back at them and then understood. "Guys, there's been a misunderstanding. My girlfriend took leave to come with me today."

They all sighed in relief.

The girlfriend Luofeng spoke of was Bai Ningbing. The one he had told everyone came with him was the Little Fairy, Liu Hanyan.

"I'll head over to the residential Teacher's office in a bit to ask if we can install an air conditioner," Luofeng chimed in as the conversation turned to the topic, also complaining, "Guys, I'm sorry, but I really think not having air conditioning in the summer is unbearable."

Li Hu said, "No problem, we'll just split the cost if it can be installed!"

"What split cost? I'll handle it. No need to pretend; I'll lay my cards out now—I'm a rich second generation," Luofeng chuckled.

Even though they had just met, Luofeng had already figured it out. Zhang Long and WangGui both came from ordinary families. If they were to split the cost, they could probably afford it, but the electricity bill would be too expensive.

At Luofeng's candor, Zhang Long was astonished. "Bro, are you really a rich second generation?"

"Boss, hello! Can I be your bodyguard?" WangGui joked.

Li Hu pushed his glasses up. "I was planning on just acting like an ordinary guy around you all, but I'll be frank: I'm also a rich second generation."

"Gentleman, you weren't exactly trying to hide it, were you?" Zhang Long grumbled. "An Alien laptop costs over thirty thousand. That specific one is probably fifty to sixty thousand. Plus headphones and a whole bunch of other gear... all that must add up to over a hundred thousand, right?"

"Hahaha, exactly!" WangGui nodded.

Li Hu laughed awkwardly. "I just like electronic products, and the high-quality ones are indeed useful. Without them, how could I get closer to my wives?"

"A true Gentleman!" Luofeng gave a thumbs up.

"Enough talk. I'm going to ask the residential Teacher about installing the air conditioner," Luofeng said. "We'll chat in the group later. I won't be back tonight. I'm going to spend time with my girlfriend first, and then I'll come back tomorrow."

"Hey, be careful not to get anyone pregnant!"

Luofeng chuckled. "Ever heard of Ultimate Experience 001 Condom?"

When Luofeng had left, Zhang Long said to Li Hu, "I say, Gentleman, I thought you were all aloof? Always acting superior?"

Li Hu looked at Zhang Long speechlessly. "Everyone's figuring things out as they go; people naturally have different personalities. This brother has a good attitude, not pretentious at all. If we're really getting air conditioning, he and I will take care of buying it and the electricity bill."

"No problem," WangGui agreed. "I've already thought of a Zhihu topic: 'What's it like having two rich second-generation roommates?'"

But Zhang Long felt embarrassed and said, "Let's just split the electricity bill; it's really too much to ask."

Li Hu responded, "Don't worry about it; don't overthink it. Everyone has their own lifestyle; his wanting to install an air conditioner is simply his way of living.

"To him, an air conditioner probably costs less than a bottle of water. He laid all his cards on the table just now as a way to reassure us he doesn't look down on us. So, let's just enjoy the benefits, and we can split the electricity bill later."

"This brother really has a good nature!" Zhang Long said.

"Zhang Long, don't feel any burden. An air conditioner costs a few thousand; his outfit alone totals tens of thousands," Gentleman Li Hu stated.

"That expensive?" Zhang Long was shocked.

"Expensive? His wristwatch is the real deal. Although I can't recognize the model, it's definitely a Patek Philippe. Plus, since it's from the Perpetual Calendar series, we're talking at least a million and up."

Li Hu said helplessly, "He's the true rich second generation; I'm just a pretender."
