Zhao Gang sent an emoji with an attitude of "If not me, then who?" completely piquing everyone’s curiosity.
And this bait was quite effective. Once the words "Xu Corporation" appeared, the students who were originally not that interested in celebrity gossip suddenly became lively.
"Xu Corporation? Of course, I know! The name is thunderous, okay!"
"Who in the capital doesn’t know about Xu Corporation? Isn’t that obvious!"
"Even I, an exchange student from another province, know that Xu Corporation is a leader in machinery manufacturing. My family even bought a car they co-produced with a foreign company."
"Xu Corporation just landed a huge deal recently. Money is rolling in like crazy, okay? You can’t even imagine how many billions Xu Family is worth!"
"Right, right, that’s one of our capital’s old-brand enterprises. But what’s this got to do with Tang Shu?"
Nestled on a sofa in a residential building complex in the capital, Zhao Gang grinned smugly, "This is what you get for not following gossip. You’re all bewildered now, huh? Guess you need me to enlighten you with some info, right?"
Proudly cradling his phone in his hands, his fingers flew as he typed a message and hit send.
In the Group Chat of Class 11 Grade 2, a message appeared that shocked everyone.
"You guys might not know this, but our class Handsome Boy in Class, Xu Qianyun, is the young master of Xu Corporation, and he’s in a romantic relationship with Tang Shu!"
At the end, he pondered for a moment and felt it might not be shocking enough, so he sent another message to add credibility.
"Don’t disbelieve it, the four links above are all about the relationship between Tang Shu and Xu Qianyun, that brother-sister love. There are pictures and facts; those who don’t know should go check them out to understand."
As soon as the message was sent, the whole group chat went silent.
"Hey, hey? Why is there no reaction? What’s going on? Shouldn’t you all be shocked out of your wits?"
Zhao Gang hugged his phone and pondered for a long while, imagining various possibilities, "Perhaps they have all gone to look at the links?"
About ten seconds later, the class group chat suddenly received a voice message that lasted about three seconds.
Zhao Gang curiously clicked on it, and a dry voice came through his phone:
"Were we deceived by Xu Qianyun? He, he, he’s actually a rich second generation!"
The voice, a blend of a scream and a roar, echoed through the entire residential building, almost making Zhao Gang jump, even prompting his parents to rush out of the kitchen to ask if something had happened.
"Mom and Dad, it’s nothing, I just turned the volume up too high while watching a short video."
After sending his parents back to the kitchen by the skin of his teeth, Zhao Gang let out a sigh of relief and immediately began to complain, "How can these people have such a low tolerance? It’s just gossip, did they really need to yell like that?"
However, he forgot that the one who had been leaping around in the class group chat just a moment ago was, in fact, himself.
After another pause of a few seconds in the class group chat, a long message popped up:
"Damn it! Stop sending voice messages, it sounds worse than a dog barking. Can you not tremble when you talk? You made me start trembling while typing!"
"Exactly, can’t you do something civilized? I’m having dinner with a girl, and your shout almost made me drop my phone into the hot pot!"
After the students finished their complaints, those who had gone to look at the links and had not responded for a long time finally came back.
"Holy shit! Our class Handsome Boy in Class has such an incredible background, and he kept it hidden from all of us?!"
