Chapter 251: 247 Spokesperson

"Li’er, come with me, will you?"

The new library.

The coffee room.

Yao Bifu shook her close friend’s arm, pleading, "Just be a saint and see it through, I’m really too embarrassed to go there by myself."

Luo Li’er looked at the boy sitting alone, holding a book with a cup of coffee on the table.

He wore frameless glasses, quite refined. The afternoon sun gently bathed his white shirt, fresh and pleasant.

He was a graduate student from the East University. Ever since their first encounter, Yao Bifu had been unable to get him out of her head. However, her shyness prevented her from being too forward, resulting in their current relationship as junior and senior.

To put it more bluntly, it was a crush.

A girl’s feelings are always poetic.

In this flourishing age, who doesn’t yearn for a sweet romance?

Luo Li’er, with no alternative, agreed to accompany her friend. Yao Bifu feigned a coincidental meeting, "Senior Jing, you’re here too."

Luo Li’er fought the urge to look away and, as he looked up, squeezed out a courteous smile for the sake of her friend’s happiness.

"What a coincidence."

The boy also seemed surprised, responding with a light arc of his lips, revealing pearly teeth, reminiscent of the scholarly grace described in historical texts.

Yao Bifu secretly tugged at Luo Li’er’s sleeve and dragged her to sit down.

"What brings you here?"

Jing Fei asked since the old library was much closer to the girls’ dormitories than the new one.

"Uh... my computer broke, so I sent it in for repair. They said it needed some time, so we came in to sit."

Yao Bifu reacted swiftly, fabricating an excuse on the spot.

Indeed, there was no computer repair shop near the girls’ dormitories.

Jing Fei nodded in understanding.

"Senior Jing, didn’t you say you just took on a project and have been quite busy lately?"

Yao Bifu made small talk.

"We’ve encountered some difficulties with the project. My advisor said it’s fruitless to persist, so he gave us some time off to divert our attention, which might help,"

"Senior Jing, you guys are working hard."

Jing Fei picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"What will you have? It’s my treat."

Luo Li’er was about to decline, but Yao Bifu had already answered.

"Two lattes, please."

Jing Fei called over the waiter.

"Senior Jing, have you started dating?"

Yao Bifu sipped the coffee placed by the waiter and asked tentatively.

"Why do you ask?"

Jing Fei smiled in surprise.

"I saw your Moments..."

In truth, she had discovered his whereabouts based on his activity in Moments.

"Not yet."

Hearing these two words, Yao Bifu’s heart sank.

Luo Li’er, silently drinking her coffee, felt sympathy for her friend.

Failure before battle, causing the hero’s tears to dampen his gown.

"Not yet."

While these two words seemed negative, they were actually quite cruel.

"Senior Jing, is she from our university?"

Yao Bifu mustered a forced smile.

"Yes, from the same department as you, also your senior."

Jing Fei, while sipping his coffee, nodded naturally and openly.

Yao Bifu, of course, had already inquired about this senior beforehand, but at this moment, she could only feign ignorance.

"What a coincidence."

Jing Fei said nothing.

"Senior Jing, I have a question and would like your advice."

Jing Fei looked up.

"Go ahead."

Yao Bifu stuttered, seemingly struggling, "...I have a friend who’s been entangled by a ’green tea bitch’. Senior Jing, what should I do to warn him?"

Luo Li’er held her coffee, trying to remain focused.

Due to her friendship with Yao Bifu, she was somewhat familiar with this second-year master’s student. He was quite exemplary in many aspects, but it seemed that when it came to love, he might still be... immature.

The senior girl who occasionally appeared in his Moments was popular and got along well with many boys. In other words, her personality allowed her to easily befriend any man.

"Why should you warn him?"

Jing Fei’s response caught Yao Bifu off guard, leaving her looking perplexed.

Jing Fei put down his coffee and adjusted his frameless glasses.

"How do you know that your friend is unaware that she is a ’green tea bitch’? On another note, what’s wrong with a ’green tea bitch’?"

Not only did this take Yao Bifu by surprise, but even Luo Li’er felt unprepared.

Jing Fei leaned back in his chair and smiled, "Just as an example, if you invite a ’green tea bitch’ for a meal, she might bring you bubble tea, if you buy her perfume, she may give you a tie, if you send her flowers, she’ll thank you as a brother. Whatever style you like, she’ll dress up in that style. If you’re feeling down, she’ll encourage you. As long as you’re willing to spend money on her, she’s willing to spend time and effort just to make you happy.

Apart from being a bit flaky in relationships, ’green tea bitches’ don’t seem to have any other faults,"

Yao Bifu was stunned, speechless and at a loss.

"Your friend probably thinks the same way. Sometimes, it’s not the people in the situation who are confused, but the onlookers."

The atmosphere quieted down.

Yao Bifu was beside herself, as if she had been hit by a reality check.

Luo Li’er took a sip of her coffee, then placed the cup down.

"The computer should be fixed by now. Senior Jing, we’ll be leaving,"

Jing Fei nodded.

Luo Li’er pulled Yao Bifu away.

"Li’er, how could he say that..."

As they left the coffee room, Yao Bifu was still struggling to comprehend what had happened.

"Give it up, he’s far more aware than you are."

Luo Li’er swiftly revised her earlier assessment.

Perhaps there are many bookish types who studied themselves silly, but Jing Fei definitely wasn’t one of them.

His emotional intelligence was probably not much lower than his intellect.

Not to mention whether his words were intentionally directed at Bifu. At the very least, Bifu’s level was completely mismatched with his; they were simply not suitable for each other.

"Whine... he actually likes green tea..."

Yao Bifu wanted to cry without tears.

Luo Li’er found it amusing.

"I think what he said makes sense, many girls also like boys who are smooth talkers, right?"

"Ring ring ring..."

The ringing started.

Luo Li’er took out her phone and saw it was Jiang Chen calling.

"Senior Jiang."

"Luo junior, where are you?"

"I’m at the new library, what’s up?"

"I need a favor from you, stay there, I’ll be right over."

"Okay."

Luo Li’er responded and hung up the phone.

"There, what’s there to be so upset about? At least he didn’t deceive you, and he stopped you from wasting more time. Using economic terms, it’s called cutting your losses in time; you should be happy."

"Easy for you to say, I just got dumped!"

How is this a dumping?

Luo Li’er shook her head and said no more.

"You go back first, Senior Jiang has something he needs from me."

"Presence of a lover, absence of humanity!"

Yao Bifu walked away dejected and dispirited.

Luo Li’er waited alone in front of the library.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Chen hurried over.

"Luo junior."

"What is it that you can’t say over the phone?"

Luo Li’er looked at him with comic book-like big eyes.

"It’s not clear over the phone."

"What is it?"

Luo Li’er asked curiously.

"There’s a coffee room inside, let’s go in and chat," Jiang Chen said, looking towards the library entrance.

I just came out from there myself.

Luo Li’er quickly shook her head, "No need, let’s just take a walk."

"All right."

Jiang Chen nodded.

The two walked down the steps.

"Luo junior, my roommate has started an angel investment group, did you know?"

"Are you talking about Luo Peng?"

Luo Li’er was direct.

She simply didn’t like being harassed, but she had nothing against Luo Peng as a person.

"By now, who doesn’t know about the angel investment group?"

"That’s right."

Since she wasn’t avoiding the subject, Jiang Chen saw no need to beat around the bush either.

"Luo Peng is interested in a project, also developed by a student from our school, it’s a virtual love app, or you can call it a game..."

"I’m aware of that."

Luo Li’er nodded, and she felt even more puzzled.

"Senior Jiang, you can just say what you want to say."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen stopped beating around the bush.

"We want to ask Miss Pei to endorse this game."

Luo Li’er stopped in her tracks, wondering if she was hearing things.

"You want my cousin to endorse it?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

Luo Li’er’s little face was one of shock, staring blankly at Jiang Chen, her pink lips moved, but she didn’t speak for a long while.

Jiang Chen understood that what he said must sound like pie in the sky, wishful thinking.

"Luo junior, all you need to do is mention it to Miss Pei, and let her make the decision whether to agree or not."

Seeing his earnest expression, Luo Li’er finally realized he wasn’t joking. After hesitating, she gently reminded him, "Senior Jiang, my cousin’s endorsement fee isn’t low..."

Although she hadn’t asked specifically, she knew her cousin’s endorsement started at tens of millions.

Even though they had just recently traveled together to Shaocheng, business is business.

Shenzhou is indeed a society that values relationships, but the connection between her cousin and him was clearly not deep enough.

"Don’t worry about the endorsement fee, as long as Miss Pei agrees, money is not an issue."

Jiang Chen’s calm response immediately silenced Luo Li’er.

She knew Luo Peng’s family was well-off, but was it really to such an extent?

Extravagant enough to ask for her cousin?

"...My cousin has never accepted such endorsements, and also, Senior Jiang, what you’re doing is too risky. If it fails, won’t that be..."

"If Miss Pei really agrees, there won’t be any chance of failure."

Jiang Chen said, "Luo junior, please."

With things put that way, Luo Li’er of course couldn’t refuse anymore.

Even if she felt the likelihood of her cousin agreeing was minuscule, almost non-existent.

"...Alright then, I’ll talk to her tonight, but I can’t guarantee whether she will agree."

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

"Thanks."

He knew how fantastical this task sounded.

Getting a star like Pei Yunxi to endorse a game put together by students sounded as likely as asking Cristiano Ronaldo to come to China to coach middle school soccer.

It seemed like it wasn’t just a question of money.

Yet the issues that seemingly can’t be solved with money are often just a matter of not offering enough.

One million, ten million, indeed can’t move Cristiano Ronaldo.

But what if it’s a hundred million?

Ten billion?

...A hundred billion?
