When the vice president heard this, even though he was afraid of the president, he could not help but feel resentful. ‘Isn’t the president looking down on me too much?’
“I’m not holding you in contempt, but I know all too well what she’s capable of.”
“Her?” He could only be talking about the young woman. But none of them had ever seen her in person, so why was the president talking about her as if they were close friends?
The vice president couldn’t help but ask the president what he was wondering because it was also what everyone in Mensa was wondering.
The president sounded matter-of-fact. “Because I once lost to her too.”
“…”
“…”
A series of ellipses. Most of the people in Mensa sent ellipses. A few didn’t, though. That was because they hadn’t reacted!
That young lady had actually defeated the president?! They were the ones who had been rude, then. They had overestimated themselves.
The vice president’s jaw felt like it had been dislocated, and his lips couldn’t make any sound at all. Fortunately, his fingers were still fine, but they were a little out of control. “You’re not kidding, are you, President?”
“Do you think I’m joking?”
Everyone was shocked except for the president, who was sitting calmly in his executive chair. He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of gray trousers. He had long legs. His handsome face was full of energy. He pursed his thin lips and smiled meaningfully.
In this life, he’d fallen into her hands and gladly suffered.

“What? An official announcement?” Yi Juncheng had just finished a meeting when he received such great news. His hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone.
Sheng Yang couldn’t help but touch her nose.
Could it be that her inattention had affected him that greatly? Did he really want others to know that badly?
Yi Juncheng also realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly put on a serious expression. His low and pleasant voice sounded again. He forcefully salvaged his dignity. “Yes, this is a good idea. We can also lure the masked man out.”
“…” Could this reason be any more fake? Sheng Yang played along and coughed lightly. “Yes, didn’t you say that you didn’t have a clue? Actually, it’s not an official announcement. It’s just a meal together. There are four of us in the dormitory, and Qin Yuan’s boyfriend has treated us to a meal. Besides, I’m the only other one with a boyfriend. It’s just a formality.”
Yi Juncheng responded with a snap of his fingers. “What do you think of Fengqing Hotel?”
“That’s … a bit much.”
“What do you mean? I want to win.”
Sheng Yang agreed instantly with a serious face. She could understand the desire to win, although Yi Juncheng’s desire to win was not in the same way as hers.
In order to avoid scaring them, Sheng Yang told her roommates that her boyfriend wanted to treat them to a meal at Fengqing Hotel.
“Fengqing Hotel?” Luo Mengmeng waved her hand and laughed loudly. “Yangyang, did you hear wrongly? It’s probably Fengqin Hotel, right?”
Qin Yuan echoed, thinking that Sheng Yang must have made a mistake. She even told her that people often mistook the two hotels.
Actually, Fengqin Hotel was quite good. It was a five-star hotel, but it was still nothing compared to Fengqing Hotel.
Seeing that they were determined, Sheng Yang couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. She might as well spend more time reading.
But on that day, they were picked up by the car and brought to Fengqin Hotel.
As expected, someone was making a fuss at the door because they had gotten the hotel wrong. “The wedding invitation I received was for Fengqing Hotel. I’m right!”
