Chapter 0026: The Commoner School Flower

Lin Yi nodded, it turned out he was an entertainment tycoon. While not all, a large part of those who made their fortune through nightclubs and KTVs had some connection to the underworld. However, this was not entirely blameworthy, after all, such entertainment venues were a mix of good and bad elements, and without a strong background, it would be impossible to run them.

"It seems his family is doing quite well in this city." Lin Yi was not afraid of Zhong Pinliang because of this. In his eyes, whether he was a gang leader or a CEO, none of them were as terrifying as his own father.

If he were to offend Old Lin, he would really be beaten to death, and he wouldn't have any way to defend himself.

"What's so great about his family?" Kang Xiaobo sneered, clearly he had no good feelings towards Zhong Pinliang, even to the point of being somewhat annoyed: "If we're talking about wealth, the Chu Mengyao family is truly rich. Zhong Pinliang's family only has a few entertainment businesses in this city, while the Chu family is a genuine industrial group with many branches across the country."

Lin Yi had a rough understanding of Chu Pengzhan's strength. If the Pengzhan Group were an aircraft carrier, then the Zhong family's businesses could only be described as small boats. It was normal for Chu Mengyao to look down on Zhong Pinliang, a nouveau riche.

"You seem to know a lot!" Lin Yi smiled.

Kang Xiaobo's face turned red, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "How many boys in our school don't know about Chu Mengyao's background? But Chen Yushu is relatively more mysterious."

"How so?" Lin Yi was curious. He had never met Chen Yushu's family, but it was clear that she was always picked up and dropped off by Chu Mengyao's family car, and she even ate at Chu Mengyao's house after school, making Lin Yi feel like she was relying on Chu Mengyao's influence. However, after hearing Kang Xiaobo's words, it seemed that wasn't the case.

"Rumor has it that Chen Yushu's grandfather is a senior military figure, and her brother is a lieutenant colonel in the military. When they were in their first year of high school, a boy, relying on his family's background, pursued Chen Yushu but failed, so he tried some underhanded tactics. Chen Yushu's brother found out and beat the boy so badly that he was hospitalized for half a year. His family didn't dare to make a sound and even went to the Chen family to apologize afterward." Kang Xiaobo said mysteriously, "This shows how powerful Chen Yushu's background is! However, she never initiates trouble, and many people secretly admire her but are too afraid to confess."

Lin Yi thought to himself, this is still called not causing trouble? She doesn't cause trouble, but she causes trouble for me all the time! Not to mention that he had a weakness in her hands, and just now, she even saw that part of him... What a mess!

Thinking about it made his head hurt. Lin Yi wasn't afraid of Chen Yushu's so-called brother coming to cause trouble. He knew Chen Yushu's character; she seemed much more open-minded than Chu Mengyao and wouldn't dwell on such matters. But Chu Mengyao... perhaps she would dislike him even more? Sometimes Lin Yi would rather be a study companion to Chen Yushu than to Chu Mengyao; this young lady was really hard to please.

"Lin Yi, are you interested in them?" Seeing Lin Yi silent, Kang Xiaobo patted his shoulder and asked.

Lin Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Why would I? I haven't even thought about it." Was he supposed to go and seduce a young lady? This made Lin Yi feel a sense of guilt, as if he were a servant in ancient times trying to seduce a young lady...

"Hehe, but buddy, if you really want to pursue someone, there's another option!" Kang Xiaobo said mysteriously in a low voice.

"Who?" Lin Yi asked casually, not that he was interested, but he wanted to learn more about the school through Kang Xiaobo.

"Class 9, Grade 3, Tang Yun." Kang Xiaobo cleared his throat and said, "The commoner school flower of our school. Although she is very beautiful, her family background is similar to ours. She wears the school uniform every day and doesn't dress up, but her beauty can't be hidden."

"Tang Yun?" Lin Yi was taken aback; the name sounded nice, but he wondered if she was as beautiful as Kang Xiaobo said.

"Of course, compared to the two princesses, Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu, Tang Yun is less prominent." Kang Xiaobo's tone became noticeably more excited and hurried when talking about Tang Yun, "But compared to them, she is closer to us."

In a school like No. 1 High School, there were both rich and poor students. Unconsciously, they formed two factions: the rich kids who spent their days chasing after beauties and playing games, and who could use their family's wealth and connections to attend ideal universities or even study abroad after graduation. The poor students, on the other hand, had to study hard every day to get into their ideal universities. The poor students generally looked down on the idle rich second-generation, and the rich second-generation looked down on the bookworms who only knew how to study.

However, this was not absolute. There were hardworking rich second-generation and poor students who fought and mixed in society. But people tend to group with those similar to themselves, and Zhong Pinliang's few subordinates were all rich second-generation and officials' children like him.

So, in Kang Xiaobo's view, pursuing Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu was just a distant dream. The commoner school flower Tang Yun was the one they could reach.

Seeing Kang Xiaobo's hopeful smile, Lin Yi sighed slightly. The school was not as simple and pure as he had imagined, but was full of interests and entanglements.

"Do you like her?" Lin Yi smiled and asked.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of! I can guarantee that many boys in the school dream about Tang Yun." Kang Xiaobo said confidently, "Buddy, when you see her, you'll know I'm not lying."

Pursuing the commoner school flower? This suggestion was very tempting... But Lin Yi ultimately shook his head. His current identity was a study companion, and leaving the young lady to pursue a girlfriend? Even if Chu Pengzhan didn't say anything, Old Lin wouldn't let him off. One shouldn't be too irresponsible; it's better to be low-key.

Besides, the situation was still unclear. What did Chu Pengzhan mean? He hadn't figured it out yet. Was he trying to get him to seduce a young lady under the guise of work? Hmm... Now that he thought about it, it seemed very likely... He and the young lady were not related, and the only way he could show his affection was through this... So, what if he went to pursue a commoner school flower and Chu Pengzhan found out and fired him?

That would be a high-level treatment with a monthly salary of 30,000!
