Chapter 310: Brother Xu, introduce someone to me, will you?
"What's up? Why are you looking at me like that!" Ge Dongxu tilted his head to glance at Jiang Lili and asked.
"Nothing much, I just suddenly realized that you've gotten a lot fairer and way more handsome than before." Jiang Lili trembled slightly, then gave Ge Dongxu a sweet smile.
"Could it be that Dongxu was very dark before?" Jin Yushan asked curiously.
"He was before?" Jiang Lili's eyes brimmed with love as she looked at Ge Dongxu, her mind flashing back to his dark and unrefined appearance from the past, her face involuntarily breaking into a smile, "Not just dark, but also very unsophisticated!"
"It wasn't that exaggerated, was it? I still had quite a few girls who liked me back at school," Ge Dongxu laughed.
"Tch, who?" Jiang Lili became lively and feisty as she remembered the past.
"You," Ge Dongxu laughed. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire
"Stop it!" Jiang Lili playfully hit Ge Dongxu with a shy swat.
"Haha!" Ge Dongxu laughed triumphantly.
"Hey, is it really okay for you guys to flirt like this? There are two single girls sitting behind you," Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie protested.
"Tch, it's easy to get rid of being single, isn't it? If you're willing, there'd be a line from our dormitory building all the way to the main road," Jiang Lili said.
"Tch, I'm after quality, not quantity. If you can find someone even one percent as good as Dongxu, I'll sell myself without a second thought," Jin Yushan declared.
"Right, Dongxu, do you have any friends? Introduce someone to us, they don't have to be as outstanding as you, we're not asking for much," Lin Sijie brightened up and inquired.
"Yeah, yeah, Dongxu, introduce someone to us!" Jin Yushan's eyes followed suit, lighting up with anticipation.
"You really don't need someone as outstanding as me?" Ge Dongxu asked, the corner of his mouth curling in a teasing manner.
"Someone as outstanding as Dongxu is only suited for our Lili. We couldn't possibly be that lucky. Anything goes, as long as it's your friend, Dongxu. Just, no old men, please," Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie said.
"No problem, once we get to the school, I'll introduce Wang Hui to you," Ge Dongxu laughed.
"Wang Hui?" Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie paused, racking their brains as to why that name sounded so familiar.
Then, they suddenly realized, let out a gasp, and immediately their fists rained down like droplets on Ge Dongxu's shoulders.
"Dongxu, you're too bad! You're too bad!"
"Haha! Isn't this what you asked for? You said you didn't need someone as outstanding as me, right? After thinking about it, Wang Hui was the only one who fell short," Ge Dongxu laughed.
"You still talking? You still talking?" Another flurry of playful fists descended.
"Alright, alright, I'm driving here, and isn't that your school up ahead?" Ge Dongxu, although indifferent to Jin Yushan and the others' coquettish voices and flirtatious beating, hastily said.
"Hmph, go ask your Lili!" Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie said, feigning anger.
"Haha." Ge Dongxu laughed again.
The car entered the school gates. The security guard quickly straightened up, filling Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie with complex emotions and an uneasy heat within.
If only they could be with him...
Yanjing Media College wasn't big, but the campus was beautiful and clean.
However, Ge Dongxu's gaze was not captured by the scenery of the college, but rather by a girl holding books, about to turn a corner some meters away.
The girl's back was very familiar; it was none other than Elder Feng's granddaughter, Fang Wanyue.
"Look, look, it's Fang Wanyue!" Jin Yushan too recognized Fang Wanyue and suddenly pointed at her, causing a commotion.
"It really is her!" Lin Sijie and Jiang Lili also exclaimed as if they had discovered a new continent.
"Do you know her?" Ge Dongxu slightly startled, asked somewhat surprisingly.
"Of course, we do. She's a celebrity of our college. Not only is she beautiful, but most importantly, she has a very powerful background. We didn't know this at first, until one time, a big shot in our college coveted her beauty and tried to force her to be his girlfriend. When the matter blew up, that big shot was directly expelled from the college. Later, a rumor came out, saying that she's the daughter of the Director of the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television, her mother is a leader in the central bank, and her grandfather is Elder Feng." Jin Yushan replied, her eyes involuntarily showing a hint of envy and awe as she spoke.
To them, such a legendary figure was something they could only look up to.
"Oh, right, Dongxu, you should know her, right?" After answering, Jin Yushan suddenly remembered Ge Dongxu's prestigious status and asked curiously.
"Then, does she have a boyfriend now?" Ge Dongxu smiled, answering her question with one of his own.
Ge Dongxu, who had a rather positive impression of the cheerful and charity-loving Fang Wanyue, was suddenly curious to find out that she was Jiang Lili's schoolmate, especially since Jin Yushan had just mentioned someone trying to pressure her into being his girlfriend. Unexpectedly, a rare gossip curiosity was sparked within him.
"Dongxu, you don't have designs on her, do you?" Jin Yushan blurted out reflexively.
Jiang Lili's beautiful eyes dimmed a notch.
Indeed, only such favored daughters of heaven would be worthy of Dongxu.
However, Jiang Lili's beautiful eyes quickly brightened again. She had never thought about wanting any status; she just wanted to be his woman.
"Don't forget you guys are still students. What's on your minds all the time?" Ge Dongxu was slightly taken aback by her words and then said, slightly annoyed.
He and Elder Feng were fellow disciples; how could he possibly entertain thoughts about Fang Wanyue? The question he'd just asked offhandedly was less about gossip and more like the care a senior would show toward a junior.
"Hehe!" Jin Yushan shrank her head back a little and replied, "Rumor has it that Fang Wanyue quite admires Xu Yunxiang and seems to be in a good relationship with him, as to whether they're boyfriend and girlfriend, that's not something we can know."
"Xu Yunxiang, is that the celebrity from your college that Chen Liang mentioned before?" asked Ge Dongxu.
"Yes, he was a senior to Fang Wanyue." Jin Yushan nodded, then pointed ahead and said, "Dongxu, right there is our dorm building."
In fact, Jin Yushan didn't need to point it out, as Ge Dongxu already knew that was their dorm since Chen Liang and Wang Hui were currently standing there with anxious expressions.
Ge Dongxu parked the car in front of the dorm building.
As soon as the car stopped, Chen Liang hurried forward a couple of steps to open the car door for Ge Dongxu, while Wang Hui naturally went to open the door for Jiang Lili.
"Thank you," Ge Dongxu nodded and smiled at Chen Liang.
This smile finally set Chen Liang's mind at ease.
"Mr. Ge, since Lili and the others are here with you, I won't intrude. Here's my business card, if there's anything you need, please give me a call," Chen Liang said as he handed over his business card with both hands.
"Okay, thank you," Ge Dongxu received the business card and glanced at it before tucking it away.
"Mr. Ge, here's my card," Wang Hui also hurried over and presented his card with both hands upon seeing this.
"I'll give your contact information to my company's executives someday. Should there be a need for any advertising production, I'll ask them to prioritize you, of course, provided your work is better than the others. If you really have the talent for directing, it's not a problem for our company to invest a little money for you to make a short film or something in the future," Ge Dongxu responded to Wang Hui, whose impression he found favorable, as he smiled and accepted the business card.
"Thank you, Mr. Ge, thank you so much. I'll definitely work hard!" Wang Hui's face trembled with excitement.
Coming from a small place with no family background, it would be incredibly difficult for him to make a name for himself without someone recognizing his talent and giving him a boost.
Seeing Ge Dongxu remember what he said to Wang Hui during their outing at Xiangshan (Fragrant Hills), Chen Liang felt a surge of envy and regret.
If he hadn't coveted Jiang Lili before, if he had been more modest during their time at Xiangshan, maybe he would have had this opportunity too.
Of course, it's too late to speak of 'ifs' now, everything has already happened. With someone like Ge Dongxu, not taking issue with him, he should already be grateful; harboring other thoughts would indeed be delusional!
Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie's eyes suddenly lit up. They naturally also remembered what Ge Dongxu had said before: if they had any aspirations and as long as it wasn't for a leading or supporting role, he could help them ask around.
They had taken his words as a joke before, but now they knew it was not.
