Li HaoChen smiled without speaking. For Murong Yanran, what was a little spending of his entire fortune?
"Oh, by the way, Zilin, if you see any suitable necklaces and earrings, help me pick them out too. Within one or two hundred million is fine."
Li HaoChen thought that since they would be used, he might as well get everything.
"Sigh... it really is a case of different fates for different people. Alright, it's an old classmate's lifelong event, I'll definitely take it seriously. You can just give me a one or two hundred million labor fee then."
"Why don't you just go rob a bank?"
"Hmph, don't you know about taking advantage of a crisis? Hahaha!"
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Zilin left. Seeing that it was getting late, Li HaoChen decided to stay overnight before returning, naturally with the Empress's permission.
The next morning, Li HaoChen checked out of the hotel. After breakfast, he rushed back to Binhai. He had to return to school in the afternoon to complete the procedures for ending his leave of absence and couldn't be late.
On the other side, at home, Murong Yanran was also organizing her documents, waiting for Li HaoChen to return to school together to handle the procedures. The hotel was now on track, and she had more time to spare. Although they were not short of money now, academic studies could not be neglected. It wasn't about studying for the future anymore, but about studying for the sake of studying. As the saying goes, "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles." Only by continuously enriching one's knowledge can wealth grow.
Not long after, Li HaoChen returned punctually. Seeing that Alice, the clingy shadow, was not at home, his mood improved.
"You're back. I've put all your documents inside. Let's go."
"Should I drive, or should you?"
"I'm not driving. We have a driver, why would I be foolish? Hehe!" With that, Murong Yanran linked arms with Li HaoChen and they walked out.
It wasn't yet time for school to start, and there were no outsiders on campus except for the faculty and staff who had returned early to prepare for the opening. Today, he was driving his Georgie Patton, not to show off, but simply because it was convenient to take it back.
Although it was a luxury car, the gatekeeper was still diligent. Fortunately, he had his student ID, otherwise, the registration would have taken time. Seeing that he was a student of the school, the gatekeeper naturally let him through. However, after Li HaoChen and Murong Yanran left, he revealed an envious look.
As they drove in, the imposing exterior of the Georgie Patton attracted many onlookers. While Binhai University had many children of the wealthy, there were very few who could afford to drive this car. Everyone was guessing which prominent family's son it was.
Li HaoChen naturally ignored these envious gazes. After dropping Murong Yanran off at her department, he turned back to find Luo Bin. He arrived at the administrative building. Having been there before, he didn't need anyone to guide him this time. He went directly to the department office on the fifth floor, knocked on the door, and then walked up to Luo Bin, "Teacher Luo, I'm here."
"Oh, you're here. Congratulations, you've brought honor to our China!" Luo Bin spoke with pride. Li HaoChen was his student. His promotion to department counselor was also thanks to Li HaoChen, and now this great surprise made him incredibly happy.
Li HaoChen just smiled and handed over the documents he was holding. The process of handling the procedures was simple, but a bit tedious. Originally, it would have required running to several departments, but now with Luo Bin's help, many steps were omitted. Even so, it took nearly an hour to complete the process.
Moreover, the school was very accommodating to him. He didn't have to start over; he only needed to complete his credits. They also arranged examinations for all his courses. He knew this was just a formality, and it seemed the vice dean had put in a lot of effort.
"Teacher Luo, thank you very much. Are you free tonight? Invite the dean out for a drink."
"I'll ask the dean first, and I'll call you later."
Li HaoChen walked out of the administrative building. Murong Yanran had already completed her procedures and was waiting for him in the car.
"Finished?"
"Yeah, the school has been very accommodating. I just need to come back in a couple of days to take the exams."
The two exchanged a knowing smile. It was good that they understood each other. Just as they were about to drive off, Li HaoChen received a call from Luo Bin. Tonight was fine.
"What's wrong?"
"Tonight, invite the dean and Teacher Luo for dinner. They've helped us a lot. Also, invite your homeroom teacher."
"Okay."
Seeing that it was getting late, the two didn't plan to go home and took the opportunity to experience the wonderful feeling of campus sweethearts.
Before they knew it, they had walked to the island in the lake. Arriving here, Murong Yanran started to laugh, "Does someone still remember being dumped here back then?"
"We weren't even together, how can you say I was dumped? Really," Li HaoChen playfully flicked Murong Yanran's nose and smiled, "The memories are like yesterday, as if in a dream!"
"Yes, I never thought this plain cabbage would be snatched by this dark and unremarkable fellow. Sigh... wait, the school..."
They chased and played around in the quiet campus, enjoying this rare moment of romance.
As they were playing, it was already evening. Murong Yanran sweetly held Li HaoChen's arm, strolling along. That evening, they treated the dean and others to a meal. They were envious and gratified by this golden couple. Especially Murong Yanran, her Binhai Grand Hotel was now famous everywhere. They had been there, and it was bustling with customers every day. The scene was truly incredible; making a fortune daily was an understatement.
When it came to dining, drinking was naturally involved. Li HaoChen was approachable and accepted all invitations, creating a very good atmosphere. After all, they would be staying here for a few more years, and building good relationships was essential.
While Li HaoChen and his companions were toasting each other, Alice, who was staying at the villa, showed a hint of seriousness. When she returned, she sensed that someone had been in the villa, and not just one person. To be able to enter without making a sound amidst her extremely tight security was definitely the work of a master.
After a long period of contemplation, Alice took out her phone and performed several operations, logging into a red and black interface. She opened a message window titled "Busty Beauty" and typed, "Flat-chested, I need your help!"
"Damn it, if you dare call me flat-chested again, I'll roll you over."
"Hmph, I don't know how many times I've stripped naked and lain on your bed, but you haven't made a move. Stop with the nonsense and come quickly, I have a bit of trouble!"
"Hmph, White Tiger, just you wait. See if I don't mess with you when I get there the day after tomorrow."
Alice smiled. As long as she could come and assist, the chances of success for this mission should increase significantly.
On the other side of the phone, a tall woman with the beauty of a nation, who had just finished talking with Alice, looked at her flawless physique in the mirror and couldn't help but complain, "Damn Alice, how am I flat-chested? I'm only two cup sizes smaller than you, it's infuriating..."
