Episode 4

Inside Starbucks,

They ordered some afternoon tea. Lin Chen and Tang Shiyun sat by the window, savoring their cappuccinos.

"I'm curious, why don't you want this job?" Tang Shiyun asked first, flicking her hair coquettishly. "As far as I know, your family is not well off, and the salary for this job is not low."

Lin Chen didn't answer directly, instead he asked back, "I'm also curious, Miss Tang, why did you take the initiative to come and offer me such a well-paying job?"

Tang Shiyun glanced at him and didn't conceal it either: "You saved my grandmother before."

Lin Chen was taken aback and then realized, "I see."

"This job is just a temporary repayment," Tang Shiyun put her hands under her chin and looked at Lin Chen with a smile, "but you refused."

It seemed like she wanted to see Lin Chen fail.

One hundred thousand yuan a month was not a small amount, and most people wouldn't have the courage to refuse.

Lin Chen rolled his eyes and said, "I saved the old lady's life at the time. If I accepted your job offer, it would've made the situation different. Am I such a shallow person, Miss Tang?"

"I can tell that you're not," Tang Shiyun looked at him with admiration in her eyes and said, "well, I've already paid you, but I have something else to deal with. See you another day. Bye."

After she finished speaking, she got up and left.

Lin Chen also got up and left Starbucks, but he didn't go back to school right away. Instead, he went to a nearby store and bought a small electric scooter.

Although small in size, the little electric scooter might be more useful than a car around the university. The traffic around here can be overwhelming, and sometimes even cars can't compete with the nimbleness of the small electric scooter. Besides, he's about to graduate, and there's no need to show off by buying a car. Riding his inexpensive little electric scooter makes Lin Chen feel quite content. Plus, beside him, there's an older brother riding the same type of scooter. The older brother is not an ordinary person; he's one of those extraordinary people who surround themselves with good food and drink and wear fancy yellow robes. They walk side by side until a takeout delivery guy suddenly exclaimed and stopped beside them. "What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked. "Oh, no, my scooter battery is dead," the delivery guy said anxiously. "I still have four undelivered orders." "Where do they need to go? Why don't I help you deliver them?" Lin Chen walked up and took a look. "These are for 4278 Dorm: Kung Pao Chicken Rice, Braised Beef with Potatoes..." Isn't this his dorm? Lin Chen looked again, and sure enough, it was the naughty guys from his dormitory. "Older brother, I'll help you deliver them to our dormitory," Lin Chen said with a smile. "Really?" After the delivery guy confirmed by phone, Lin Chen took the four portions of food back to his dorm. Pushing the door open, Lin Chen shouted with a smile, "Sons, Dad’s back!" The room responded with very rhythmic sounds of keyboard and mouse clicks. It was extremely quiet… "You don't welcome me? Then I'll leave," Lin Chen turned around.

"Don't do it, brother, you're my own brother!" Old San couldn't help but fret, his face full of worry. "I'm starving to death."

"Boss, you're the most handsome, here, take my takeout," Old Er shamelessly and decisively chimed in.

"Boss, you're amazing!" Old Si exclaimed.

"Ding, you've helped deliver four orders for takeout, your reward is 400,000 yuan."

After delivering the takeout to his dormitory brothers, Lin Chen quickly received notification from the system.

However, he had already developed a large heart by now.

In just a few minutes, he had earned 400,000 yuan.

He wasn't surprised but rather felt it was too little.

Yes, the income speed was still too slow.

If he could save people heroically a few more times, that would be great.

Saving Tang Shi Yun's grandmother got him 50% of Jiajia Film and Television Group's shares.

But these kinds of things weren't something he could encounter just by wishing.

Furthermore, he didn't want others to constantly run into trouble.

"Boss, I heard you rejected a job offer with a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan?" While eating, Old Er suddenly spoke up.

Brush!

With Old Er's words, Old San, Old Si, and Old Wu all turned to look at him.

"Yeah, what of it?" Lin Chen asked.

"I heard that although you turned down the job, you've made the acquaintance of the domineering female CEO of Jiajia Film and Television Group?"

"Yeah, what of it?"

"And the CEO took you out to dinner?"

"Yeah, what of it?"

"Damn it, boss, do you have to act so nonchalant? Can't you get excited about it?" Old Er couldn't help but comment.

Damn it, the CEO of Jiajia Film and Television Group, her net worth was at least a few billion, right?

Snagging a woman like this means never worrying about food and drink for the rest of my life! Lin Chen shrugged helplessly as he watched his brothers' jealous expressions, "There's no way around it, who's the handsomest guy in this dorm?" His brothers wanted to say, "Do you have to act like that?" But when they put themselves in his shoes, they would have done the same, and probably with more pride. With a value of several hundred million, if they could get their hands on a great beauty like this, even if they ate like kings every day, they wouldn't have to worry for the rest of their lives. "Big brother, did you save an old woman before?" Suddenly, Fourth Brother spoke up. Lin Chen was stupefied, "How do you know?" "Open a certain music, you know, you're famous now." Fourth Brother's words held a hint of acidity. Looking at the other brothers, they were all filled with jealousy, as if they were saying, "Why does Big Brother get all the good things?" Lin Chen opened up the app, confused, and found that the first short video was very familiar - wasn't it the same process he went through for saving the old lady? Someone had filmed it? Lin Chen scanned the video's data, which had already received over three million likes and hundreds of thousands of comments! Upon reading them, they were all complimenting him: "What a handsome young man, in this era of staged accidents, he can still be brave, love love." "Looking at the back, you can tell he's a handsome guy, does anyone have the young man's contact information? I'm offering a reward!" Of course, there were some strange comments mixed in, "Brothers, our village network has finally been connected, 2008 was successful in the Olympic bid, awesome!"

"My boyfriend is super handsome, super gentle, with a pleasant voice, abs and collarbones, he can tolerate me and is good at kissing. The only problem is, he doesn't exist!"

"I have the contact information for this dream boyfriend, if anyone is interested, comment below and upvote me!"

"... "

Watching the short video, Lin Chen was really confused. Why did he suddenly become a viral sensation? He really wanted to say, "Can't I just be low-key?"

Looking at the guys beside him, their jealous glares were almost dripping with bitterness.

"No, I..."

Lin Chen instinctively wanted to explain, but then he realized what was the point of explaining?

At this point, the second older brother put down his chopsticks and walked over with a serious face.

He patted Lin Chen's shoulder and said in a solemn tone, "Brother, no more words. Let's become brothers right here and right now!"
