As night fell, Cheng Zhu scrolled through a post shared by Zhang Qiqi on his social media feed.
Reading the caption, he knew that this message was meant especially for him.
Despite the fact that her apartment had been shown off, and that she received an unwarranted kiss, even after getting rejected in her confession, she still insisted she wasn’t upset today, to avoid awkwardness and increased distance when they met again.
After some thought, Cheng Zhu did something very dog-like.
That was, he liked that post.
This is the kind of thing a scheming girl would do: push you away when you want to get closer, never taking the initiative to contact you, but providing a like to maintain a sense of presence.
He didn’t care much, after all, it was his own interview video—if mutual friends saw it, they wouldn’t give it much thought.
But that like was, in fact, a response to the attitude shown by this green tea senior sister.
Of course, there was another reason Cheng Zhu liked the post.
That was, he saw that Yiyi had liked it too.
From far away in Tai City, the Innocent Little White Flower, Meng Yiyi, quickly noticed through social media notifications that Brother Zhu had liked Zhang Qiqi’s post.
Originally, she felt somewhat jealous when she saw the interview video.
"Hmph, Zhang Qiqi, this old woman is just flaunting her current advantage of being at the same school!"
"Technology University really could have found a more professional campus reporter, look how she stumbled twice during the interview."
"Anyway, your alumni advantage won’t last much longer," Meng Yiyi thought, letting out a relieved laugh.
In Yiyi’s heart, her cousin was just a woman with a bit of minor cunning.
Hooking minor catches was one thing, but landing Brother Zhu was definitely impossible.
"The gap in overall conditions is too big."
"We’re just ordinary people who happen to be good-looking."
The beauty of her mother in her youth wasn’t inferior to these sisters.
Yet, wasn’t she still just a mistress?
And that man who’s still behind bars, her biological father, had overall conditions far from Cheng Zhu’s today!
"One must have a clear self-positioning," Meng Yiyi thought.
She guessed that Zhang Qiqi must have once harbored the thought of playing Cheng Zhu, not to chase after him, but to flirt with him.
"That’s just a waste of time and opportunity," she thought.
Despite Meng Yiyi’s appearance of an Innocent Little White Flower and her youthful looks, her views on relationships wholly differed from the ordinary girls her age.
"Actually, most relationships at this age don’t end up with a result."
"Even if you really date, it’s not guaranteed to have a future, sigh," Meng Yiyi sighed internally.
Yet she was still very much looking forward to the new student enrollment in September.
She even contemplated finding a reason to move to Hang City during the summer holiday permanently.
What Meng Yiyi regretted most at this moment was not foreseeing Cheng Zhu coming across Zhang Qiqi’s, this old woman’s post.
"If I knew he wasn’t busy today, I should have left a comment under that shared link, something like ’Brother Zhu is so handsome, and the sister is super professional!’
However, after some thought, she didn’t feel regret for long.
"Why should I envy Zhang Qiqi for getting to interview Brother Zhu?
"That’s as far as they’ll go, nothing can happen."
"I’m someone who has seen a concert with him!"
A simple campus interview kept its high popularity all over the internet.
Cheng Zhu now truly had the air of a celebrity entrepreneur, or it could even be said he was somewhat of an entrepreneurial internet star.
And then there were netizens joking in the comments:
"With such high traffic, not capitalizing on it for some ads, it’s really a pity."
"Hey, who is this internet star, why doesn’t he plug advertisements in the video?"
"If you ask me, Mr. Cheng is still lacking some business acumen!"
The funniest part was, because of this campus interview, a large bunch of idle netizens flooded into Chen Yue’s Weibo comments section.
Didn’t Cheng Zhu say: Why don’t you ask them if they’re afraid of me?
Idiotic netizens: Alright, message received!
Chen Yue had just posted a Weibo that afternoon, celebrating Yue Tea’s milestone of officially breaking through 50 outlets nationwide.
Her caption read: This is a small step for Yue Tea.
Originating, the comment section was orderly, at worst just a few persistent netizens calling her "Mad Woman."
Now, the comments section was a mess.
The hot comments lined up neatly, all saying the exact same thing.
"Interview question: Are you afraid of Cheng Zhu?"
The top ten hot comments were all that sentence, with likes in the several thousands, other comments just couldn’t compete!
The female assistant managing her personal Weibo was flabbergasted, not sure whether to delete these comments or not.
But her instincts told her, if she deleted them, similar comments would only multiply!
The netizens didn’t care whether you were fuming at these comments.
Frankly, they were just there for a spectacle, almost suspect of fanning the flames!
Chen Yue, utterly confused, opened Cheng Zhu’s campus interview video, intending to trace the origin.
What greeted her was a striking blast of handsomeness.
Previous public photos and videos of Cheng Zhu never had him in formal wear.
And for handsome guys, formal attire tends to be super flattering.
After watching the video, Chen Yue was just speechless.
"How does he always manage to set off an online rhythm so effortlessly!"
When ordinary people answer these questions, at best they’d brag about themselves, talk about their product quality, quality control, market share...
