Chapter 362: He’s After Her Money.

Chapter 362

Li Weijin, with his bald head, became popular.

Some people, even if they are bald, can still be the most handsome bald person if they have good looks.

And after shaving his head, Li Weijin surprisingly had the appearance of someone who had won the heart of a beauty. He became the top student in the Information Management major and had a perfect match.

As Li Taiping, the devoted follower of the English department goddess Wu Xinyue, felt that the only thing separating him from the goddess was his excess hair, he decided to shave his head as well.

The result...

It was a sight to behold.

Master Li's bald head made him look like a handsome young monk who had emerged from the deep mountains, causing a group of enchanting and cheap women to want to conquer him. But after Li Taiping shaved his head, he looked like a guilty person who had just been caught and released from prison, emanating an aura of sleaziness and villainy.

In the past, because he had money, Wu Xinyue used to spend time with him and let him treat her.

Now, even if he still had money, Wu Xinyue didn't want to be seen with him anymore. She found his bald head resembling that of a delinquent, which made her lose face.

Xiao Qi's infatuation with Li Weijin began with his looks.

It's not surprising for a 17-year-old girl to like good-looking boys.

Especially someone as good-looking as Li Weijin.

However, there's a difference between liking someone and being together with them, especially for Xiao Qi, whose self-esteem is rooted in her upbringing.

She couldn't believe that Li Weijin genuinely liked her. She always felt that it was just a passing fancy or curiosity on his part.

The more insecure a girl is, the more she values her self-respect as the only thing she can hold onto.

So she firmly rejected him.

Until she saw him with a bald head, and Xiao Qi's heart melted like ice cream on a June day, layer by layer.

She thought she should be more confident, have an equal relationship, simply because of her feelings for him, without any material conditions attached.

Be confident, even more confident.

Xiao Qi's roommate was very supportive of her desire to develop a relationship with Li Weijin, but there were inexplicably many rumors circulating in their class.

They said that the class monitor was only interested in Master Li's money.

Someone discovered that Su Xiaoqi, whom everyone thought highly of, had applied for a part-time tutoring job on the campus forum, and it turned out that she went to Master Li's house. The scheming was too obvious.

Although most of their classmates didn't think the class monitor was that kind of person, deep down, they were a little jealous and accepted this explanation. Master Li belonged to everyone, and it didn't sit right for him to suddenly belong to just one person.

She must be with him for his money.

Even Su Li, who had been getting close to Xiao Qi lately, looked utterly bewildered. When Xiao Qi asked her to study French together, she stood her up.

Chu Yu made a snide remark from the side, "Class monitor, you know that Su Li likes Li Weijin. It's surprising that despite your close relationship with Su Li, you're still together with Li Weijin."

Xiao Qi:... This logic sounds so bizarre.

Su Li stood up and directly told Chu Yu to shut up.

Chu Yu looked aggrieved, with a face that said, "I'm doing this for your own good, and yet you're treating me like this."

That expression was priceless. Xiao Qi couldn't imitate it no matter how many times she tried. Clenching her teeth and biting her lip, teary-eyed, she felt both aggrieved and determined...

Su Li was utterly disgusted by the expression on their face, feeling provoked and unable to contain themselves. They shouted, "I like Xiaoqi, not Li Weijin, that peacock. If you like them, go for it yourself. How dare you snatch away the person I like! Just die!"

The words spoken by Su Li carried a significant message.

Chu Yu was dumbfounded, forgetting their previous grievances and opening their mouth wide in disbelief, resembling a stunned frog.

Xiaoqi, the person in question: ...

As they walked together towards Mrs. Su's villa, Su Li, feeling guilty, said to Xiaoqi, "I was primarily angry at Chu Yu, that hypocrite. Don't feel pressured. I really don't like Li Weijin; he's too showy and even better-looking than me."

Xiaoqi: ... Okay.

Not knowing what to say, Xiaoqi recalled the way Su Li looked at them, reminiscent of how they used to look at their favorite candy when they were young.

It seemed that the system had previously indicated that there were people in the class who genuinely admired them, perhaps two or three of them. Could Su Li be one of them?

"Don't misunderstand. I won't develop feelings for you. We're just going together to my aunt's place to study. You're not talkative, but you have good grades. My aunt wants me to study with you."

Xiaoqi: ... Okay.

Chu Yu initially wanted to create a character for Su Xiaoqi, someone who would be a gold digger and steal her best friend's boyfriend. But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. Su Li, that lunatic, turned out to like Xiaoqi. If it were anyone else, Chu Yu would have spread the news everywhere, but Su Li responded violently no matter what Chu Yu said. After suffering a few times, Chu Yu didn't dare to mess with Su Li anymore.

But she couldn't let go of it in her heart.

Wasn't Xiaoqi supposed to focus on studying? Why was she with Li Weijin again?

She had many suitors, but a hundred suitors couldn't compare to one Li Weijin.

Li Weijin was not only handsome but also wealthy.

This incident greatly disturbed Chu Yu. She had originally believed that even if Xiaoqi was excellent in academics, she couldn't compete with her in terms of attracting male attention.

These past few days, she felt extremely annoyed whenever she saw Xiaoqi.

She felt that her own lack of effort was the reason she couldn't match Xiaoqi's academic performance. If she had spent as much time as Xiaoqi did, maybe she could have achieved even better results. But when it came to attracting male attention, Chu Yu believed she was much better than Xiaoqi. This made her even more jealous.

The next afternoon, when there were no classes, Chu Yu saw Xiaoqi in the dormitory and suddenly rushed out in a hurry. Unable to resist, Chu Yu followed her and unexpectedly saw a young man looking for Xiaoqi. He was even dressed in a suit. Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat, feeling like she had finally caught Xiaoqi, the study committee member, in a compromising situation.

As soon as Xiaoqi left, Chu Yu deliberately gathered a group of people, saying she wanted to treat them and that she wasn't feeling well. She thanked everyone for their concern. Xiaoqi also found it strange. She didn't know this person but he came looking for her.

He said it was about the houses she bought. Xiaoqi didn't want her classmates to know that she bought so many houses, so she took him to a beverage shop on the student street. It had private rooms, but the shops on the student street weren't high-end, so even with private rooms, they were only separated by partitions and curtains, and the soundproofing was not good.

Jin Hu never expected that the person he came to meet would be a young girl in a sportswear with her hair tied up in a cute little bun. She was so young, yet she carried a thick programming book with her and had sparkling clear eyes. She was a very beautiful young girl.

Their boss had recently struck it lucky. The unfinished buildings that hadn't been selling for a long time were first bought by this young girl, and then the rest were bought up by a tycoon who wanted to build an exhibition hall for his wife and wanted more open space around it.

The boss thought the other party was clueless and had plenty of money, so he raised the price a bit and quickly sold them off.

He was ecstatic, feeling that his luck had finally turned around and he was no longer plagued by misfortune.

But then, not long after the sale, he received a piece of insider information: the government was planning to develop the Xiao'an District as a new area. The Meng City was too small and had no room for further expansion. The Xiao'an District was going to be transformed into a tax-free industrial park and a high-tech zone with various supporting facilities. The government would allocate at least hundreds of billions of funds every year.

Although it was just a piece of insider information, rumors didn't come out of thin air. Even he knew about it, so it must be true.

The boss was pounding his chest and stamping his feet, feeling like he had been fooled, and fooled big time.

With an annual investment of hundreds of billions, the prices of his buildings were bound to skyrocket, easily several times over.

In the city center, the normal price for a house was around sixty to seventy thousand, while in the surrounding areas, it was about twenty to thirty thousand. But he had sold them for only four to five thousand, and he was smugly thinking that he had made a fortune.

When he learned about this news, his blood pressure shot up to 170, and he almost ended up in the hospital.

That tycoon who wanted to build an exhibition hall was someone he couldn't compete with. He heard that the tycoon had bought land worth five billion around the area, and with this news, there were already people offering tens of billions to buy from that tycoon. But the tycoon refused to sell and was actually building the exhibition hall...

He was just a small real estate developer without tens of billions, but he thought about playing for time and taking back the houses he had sold.

He could still make tens of millions.

He had sold that building at an average price of over four thousand. Was his brain filled with shit at that time? With the way things were going, the price would rise to over forty thousand without any problem, and a hundred million would be a tenfold increase.

He couldn't beat the tycoon boss, but a girl who bought a house should be no problem.

He had made preparations in advance. Buying a house required the homeowner's information, and the registration showed that she was a freshman at Enhua University, from a rural background, without any significant connections.

Considering that the other party was a young girl, the boss specifically assigned a handsome male salesperson to handle this matter.

As Xiao Qi and Jin Hu sat down, a waiter brought them tea.

Chu Yu and a group of classmates followed them closely.

Xiao Qi didn't recognize the other party and only knew that he was a staff member of the real estate developer from whom she bought the house last time.

She didn't take a loan; she paid the full amount. The property certificate shouldn't be ready so soon.

"Do you have any business with me?" she asked.

"It's like this, Miss Su Xiaoqi. The building you purchased, due to our qualifications and insufficient follow-up funds, to be honest, it has been abandoned. The subsequent water and electricity installations have become problematic. The boss feels uneasy about selling such a property to you and has asked me to return the money to you and terminate your property purchase contract," he said sincerely.

He went on to talk about the difficulties his company faced.

After listening for a while, Xiao Qi summarized that the other party didn't want to sell the house to her and wanted to refund her money.

To be honest, Xiao Qi was quite surprised. She had only heard of homeowners kneeling down to fight for their rights, but she had never heard of a developer voluntarily refunding money. It was quite an unexpected move.

If she had bought it alone, she might have believed it. The other party's attitude was sincere, and he didn't seem like a dishonest person.

However, when she bought the house, she was accompanied by her son and the cunning housekeeper. The housekeeper didn't say anything, which meant there was no problem.

"Wait a moment, let me ask someone," Xiao Qi said, preparing to call her son's housekeeper and ask.

Jin Hu stopped her when he saw that she was about to make a call. He politely said, "We can negotiate. The boss really doesn't want to sell because it would tarnish his reputation for such a small amount of money. He gave me a target: we sold it to you for 4.5 million, and now we can buy it back at a 1.5 times premium. You don't need to do anything, and in just over a month, 10 million will turn into 15 million. What do you think?"

Xiao Qi: ...

In the adjacent private room, Chu Yu ordered a bunch of drinks and called a group of people, including Xiao Qi's tablemate, the vice study committee member, and others, most of whom were her pursuers, as well as two girls from the neighboring class.

Chu Yu chatted absentmindedly, mainly to uncover Su Xiaoqi's true face.

Su Xiaoqi was diligent in her studies but often absent from the dormitory, always going out. There must be something fishy.

As a result, they heard some pieces of information that made sense separately but were confusing when put together.

The few boys and girls whispered quietly, and at first, it was Xiao Qi's tablemate, Liu Xiao, who said she seemed to have heard the voice of the study committee member.

Chu Yu said it might be that the study committee member had something to do and they should let them be.

Then they heard voices arguing from the next room.

The study committee member spent 10 million to buy a building, and the other party wanted to refund the money to her. The study committee member disagreed, and the other party was willing to refund 15 million to her...

The group of people looked at each other. Wasn't it supposed to be 10,000 instead of 10 million? Wasn't it supposed to be an apartment instead of a whole building?

So the study committee member had a building in Meng City? Who is it that's interested in her money?

"How does your study committee member have so much money? Didn't we hear that she got close to Li Weijin in your class because of money? She actually has so much money herself. She's the real rich one!"

"Yeah, I think Li Weijin in your class might be interested in her money."

"Could it be that the young master likes the study committee member's money?"

Chu Yu: ... You're all drinking the drinks I bought. Doesn't your conscience ache when you say that?

Xiao Qi was still preparing to make a phone call to Butler Bao when a mechanical voice suddenly resounded in his mind: "The host's excellent configuration of personal assets has aroused strong jealousy in others, prompting a change and progress in their worldview. As a reward, the host's logical thinking ability is increased by +1."
