Chapter 372: 345 Nine Tripods

"It’s not to say that nobody in the world doesn’t recognize him, but at least at East Sea University, there are now very few who have not heard of Jiang Chen."

The fact that the other party recognized him was not surprising at all.

Out of courtesy, Jiang Chen naturally shook hands with the most beautiful female teacher.

A touch and then release.

However, when Jiang Chen let go, he looked at Koda Kaoru with a somewhat strange expression in his eyes.

Not sure if it was an illusion...

This teacher, who could well be described as naturally flirtatious, seemed to have traced her fingertip across the palm of his hand.

Jiang Chen steadied himself.

He understood that he was now, to some extent, a remarkable figure in the school. Of course, this was meant in a positive light, but he didn’t think his charm was so great that it could make such a foreign friend fall for him at first sight.

And.

The woman’s expression didn’t show any signs of unusual behavior; she still invited them with her tantalizing magnetic voice, smiling, "Would you like to join us?"

Luo Peng hastily gave his buddies a look.

Jiang Chen and the others weren’t oblivious to social cues; they quickly and politely declined to avoid being the third wheel.

"How about it, I wasn’t exaggerating, was I?"

Luo Peng happily went to have dinner with Koda Kaoru, while Jiang Chen and the two others headed back.

"She really is beautiful, but why would she come all the way to East Sea? With her qualifications, isn’t finding a job in Dongying a piece of cake?"

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but comment.

"Which kind of job are you talking about?"

Li Shao chimed in.

The two exchanged a look.

Jiang Chen coughed lightly, chose not to continue, and then noticed Bai Zheli’s face suddenly turn a shade of red.

"Why’s your face red?"

Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"No, it’s nothing,"

Bai Zheli hurriedly shook his head.

Youth would be wasted without a bit of frivolity.

In this age of information, no one could truly be unsullied by the world—maybe except for kids deep in the mountains.

Especially with Luo Peng around, a "helpful teacher" and a bad influence to boot.

For the sake of amusement, Luo Peng often shared what could be considered a major feature of Dongying’s cinematic arts in the dorm, the type that had very few actors and even fewer lines.

It’s undeniable how dedicated those performers are: even though the scripts are straightforward, and the scenes monotonous, they laboriously and diligently put forth a one or two-hour visual feast for the audience.

Different countries have different norms, so one shouldn’t sit on a high horse and criticize from a moral high ground.

Those performers in Dongying, with their fearless commitment, are seen as enlightened pioneers by countless youths in Shenzhou.

Many of these exemplary figures have been lovingly bestowed the title of ’teacher’ by grateful netizens.

If that teacher from earlier were willing...

Tsk tsk.

She would surely surpass all.

Bringing back food to the dormitory, while eating, Jiang Chen was chatting on his phone with Li Shuru and the topic inevitably turned to Teacher Xiang Tian.

"You’ve met her?"

"Yeah."

"Sexy, right?"

"Not bad."

"That’s ’not bad’? Aren’t your standards a bit too high? You have no idea how many girls envy her figure."

Li Shuru teased, then Jiang Chen deflected the topic, "When did she come here? How come I’ve never heard of her before?"

"She’s only been here for less than half a month and I’ve heard some male teachers are already pursuing her."

Looks like Luo Peng has some serious competition.

Jiang Chen wasn’t unacquainted with Dongying women, like that waitress, Meiko, at the Peninsula Izakaya.

However, Koda Kaoru and Meiko were clearly two different types.

The sun was setting when Luo Peng finally returned to the dorm.

"How did it go?"

Li Shao asked, curious. The once introverted dorm leader had become more sociable over time.

"Sigh, I don’t think there’s much hope,"

Luo Peng returned dejected and somewhat despondent after managing to get the date.

"What happened?"

Jiang Chen joined in the intrigue.

"She said she has a boyfriend."

"Someone from here?"

Bai Zheli asked with curiosity.

Luo Peng shook his head.

"She mentioned it’s someone from her own country."

"That doesn’t make sense; if she had a boyfriend in Dongying, why would she come all the way here to work?"

"Exactly, so clearly she was just letting me down easy. Regardless of whether it’s true, it at least shows she’s really not interested. And during the meal, she paid the bill."

Luo Peng didn’t understand what had changed. He used to be so successful in love, but now he was facing consecutive failures.

"As long as you wield the hoe well, there’s no corner you can’t dig."

Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder, never tired of watching the drama unfold, "Keep at it. If you really win her over, you’ll also be bringing glory to our country."

"Peng, do you really like Teacher Xiang Tian?"

Bai Zheli couldn’t resist asking.

Luo Peng grinned, avoiding a direct answer.

"Didn’t you hear what Chen said? Bringing glory to the country is our unshirkable duty."

Mid-April.

The East Sea Business Leaders’ Summit was held as scheduled, as usual.

A gathering of elites and a congregation of the famous.

"Uncle Shi."

Sun Xiyu was also brought here by his father.

Dressed in a sharp suit, the already impressive-looking young Sun was made even more distinguished and handsome.

"Yuwen, I think you should consider lightening your load already. If I had a son like him, I would have retired by now and be enjoying life,"

Shi Zhenhua said with a laugh, his gaze towards Sun Xiyu brimming with undisguised admiration.

"Haha, don’t flatter him too much. If he were really that outstanding, would Qian Qian have spared him a glance?"

Sun Yuwen, the influential chairman of Fuli Group in the hotel industry, also had a warm smile.

People at this level spoke in a relaxed manner, but their words were filled with hidden barbs.

"Well, you can’t say that. It’s my daughter who doesn’t have that fortune. But that’s good in a way. I’ve always been worried that with her temper, marrying into your family could cause a lot of trouble and affect our families’ relationship. Now I’m relieved. Someday she’ll surely regret her choice, but I’m too lazy to worry about it now; let her do what she wants."
