"Who said my son and Ming Yue are through?"
Mother Xu directly interrupted her, clearly still feeling sore about the subject.
To try and dig at her son's prospects right in front of her, Mother Xu was none too pleased.
"Your son... doesn't he already have a girlfriend?" The woman was taken aback, her gaze towards her somewhat bewildered.
How could she still be looking elsewhere while eating from her own bowl?
"This is our own business, no need for you to worry."
Mother Xu turned to go upstairs.
Seeing this, the woman also stopped talking about Yao Mingyue and shifted her attention to other targets.
"Don't be in such a rush, look at my boy, about to graduate from college and yet he still hasn't found a partner. Any of those girls without partners, how about you introduce them?"
The woman changed the subject, having noticed a couple of outstanding girls earlier, thinking her son would be lucky to snag any one of them.
Mother Xu, still irked, couldn't help but laugh, "Those girls are indeed nice, but the better the girl, the higher her standards. Can your son meet those standards?"
"My son is fine, he's a college student after all!"
"I remember when your son got into college, you were shouting about it in the neighborhood for days. But it was just a junior college, wasn't it?"
"A junior college is still a college. Plus, my son's got good looks!"
"I recall your son is just about 1.7 meters tall, right?"
"But when he jumps, he's as tall as 1.8 meters!"
Mother Xu was speechless, disregarding the woman's words and heading upstairs.
Before they knew it, the new semester began.
In September, Xu Musen had proudly become a sophomore.
Huhai University also embarked on a new round of enrollment.
Xu Musen, as a current outstanding senior representative of Huhai, was asked by the school to give speeches everywhere.
At the same time, Xu Musen had set up a charity foundation specifically to provide financial aid to students like Zhu Yulan, who had good grades but came from poor families, and he also offered some job positions within his capability. After all, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
Xu Musen was generous, directly putting three million yuan of seed money into the foundation. At the start of this term, he had already helped dozens of students.
Although it was a loss-making endeavor, Xu Musen insisted on continuing the project, trying to extend this policy to other colleges and universities nearby.
After all, the ability to study and endure hardships for students, especially those from impoverished families who make it into these universities, is truly one in thousands.
Now, having received his help, these students would have a seed planted in their hearts, and when they truly enter society in the future, they would likely consider Xu Musen's company as a priority.
These talented students would be in demand anywhere, and this was a long-term investment for mutual benefit.
Of course, thanks to this, Xu Musen's bubble tea and takeaway business was even further promoted.
Nowadays, not many college students could find opportunities to be good tutors during their winter and summer vacations and spare time, and many are also unwilling to overcome this psychological barrier.
Most would end up working as waiters or in assembly lines to earn some money.
But now, with a freely timed gig delivering takeout, it has become a fashionable side job.
Xu Musen's reputation at Huhai University was through the roof, almost to the point where there was a saying, "If you're at Huhai's gate, look for Xu Musen."
Especially those impoverished students who received aid regarded Xu Musen as an idol and benefactor.
Now, Xu Musen could hardly walk around the campus without being surrounded for photos.
After all, so young, handsome, wealthy, and kind-hearted, there wouldn't be a second like him at Huhai University.
People admire strength, so it wasn't surprising that plenty of girls had their eyes on Xu Musen.
Every day, there would be confessions to Xu Musen on the confession wall, both men and women...
This led to Xu Musen now having to wear a mask when going out; otherwise, a hundred-meter walk could take him half an hour.
Xu Musen took a breath and arrived at the campus bubble tea shop, having to dodge around and still nearly being stopped by a few female students.
He was sweating profusely after that short walk, truly experiencing what it's like for a celebrity to step outside.
"Yo, yo, yo! Isn't that Boss Xu? What's with the disguise?"
Zhou Hangyu and the others laughed gleefully at the predicament.
"Brother Sen, are you serious? You're a celebrity now, plenty of girls out there begging for a photo with you, and here you are dodging them like a rat crossing the street – a satiated man does not know a hungry man's hunger."
"I might as well be a rat crossing the street, at this rate, this school really isn't a place I can stay in any longer."
Xu Musen shook his head, feeling a bit weary. Though being surrounded by girls, especially the bold freshmen asking for photos, even sneaking in hugs or kisses, was quite enjoyable.
What would it matter if something like that happened once more to Xu Musen?
But it seems there's that damned Gay in school, some guys taking photos with him have even pinched his butt!
That must be someone from Sichuan roads.
Zhao Lianmai brought him a glass of lemonade.
Actually, everyone's workspaces have become quite wide-ranging, with frequent travel, but if there's a small meeting or some rare downtime, they still subconsciously gather at the bubble tea shop at Huhai University for a sit-down.
