Chapter 10: Men Have Dignity

Qin Fen's eyes lit up as he grabbed his backpack and said, "See you tomorrow," before squeezing into the crowd of students leaving school.

Lin Liqiang reached out to touch Qin Fen's forehead, displaying a concerned expression as he said, "Buddy, are you really okay? It's a free feast; you should take advantage of it."

Lin Liqiang smiled weakly; it was truly a miracle that Song Jia, who never apologizes, apologized twice in one day

"People are bound to change." Song Jia's displeased expression quickly transformed into a smile: "Just like you, the second son of the Super Beast Consortium, one of the five major financial groups on Earth. You, who have never had friends, now have friends too, don't you?"

In my impression, Song Jia is someone who never considers the feelings of others and does not admit her mistakes. Lin Liqiang said seriously, "Just now, you disregarded my feelings and actively tested Qin Fen's strength, which is very much in line with your style. But admitting a mistake? You must be the fake Jia Jia, right?"

I am sorry... I seem to have made a mistake again. Song Jia displayed a hint of regret; as soon as her words proposing conditions to Qin Fen left her mouth, she regretted it. It is indeed very foolish to try to win over someone who is regarded highly by two genius-level individuals in the campus by throwing money at them

Upon entering the classroom, Qin Fen immediately immersed himself in intense study. Attending a prestigious university, joining an excellent interstellar transportation company, becoming a member of a star-level transport team, and utilizing public funds to increase the chances of finding his brother

Understood

Is that so? Which one? Lin Liqiang's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction; if he wanted to know the depth of Qin Fen's abilities, he could have simply asked directly. This kind of presumptuous probing was somewhat excessive! If it weren't for Qin Fen's nonchalant way of downplaying the situation, his own position would have been quite awkward.

Both are quite interesting. Song Jia said while walking alongside Lin Liqiang: "I was a bit abrupt just now. As an apology, how about I treat your two friends to dinner as compensation?"

Apologize? Qin Fen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled faintly: "No need. I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. She was just curious about how I could be mixed up with both of you."

Song Jia kept twirling the fountain pen in her hand, occasionally stealing glances at Qin Fen, who was sitting not far away. With average academic performance and a somewhat reticent personality, the only notable aspect about her was her two-star combat strength, which remained completely concealed, with no record of any campus confrontations.

Such a foolish act is something Song Jia would never normally engage in. However, Qin Fen's rejection ignited her competitive spirit, and her desire to quickly understand the matters concerning Qin Fen led her to act somewhat impulsively

Such behavior is an insult! Lin Liqiang does not allow such things to happen to his friends

How? Song Jia was frightened by Lin Liqiang

Lin Liqiang stopped in his tracks, standing there in a daze, his eyes filled with disbelief as he gazed at Song Jia, and after a long pause, he said: "Are you really Jia Jia?"

Song Jia, standing nearby, suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. How many scions of wealthy families had spent lavishly trying to invite her to dinner, yet had been unable to do so? Today, she was the one spending money to treat someone to a meal, only to be refused? Moreover, the reason for the refusal was that the person wanted to work! This made her further doubt whether her charm had diminished.

Song Jia found it hard to understand that a person like Qin Fen could be considered outstanding among ordinary people. However, in her eyes, having encountered many geniuses, he was merely average. Why then did he exude a master-level aura? Moreover, this aura was gradually diminishing... No! It should be said that it was retracting!

Song Jia smiled faintly, and the two walked side by side towards the teaching building, instantly becoming a beautiful sight. The man was handsome and dashing, while the woman was stunningly attractive; they were indeed a perfect match. Yet, no one knew that these two would never consider each other.

The time spent seriously passes the quickest. In the blink of an eye, it was time for class to end. Students walked out of the school gate in groups of two or three. Lin Liqiang, with his deflated shoulder bag, approached Qin Fen and said: "Buddy, Song Jia said she would treat you to a meal as an apology"

Although humanity has entered the interstellar era, the pressure of employment has not diminished significantly. Therefore, the pressure of school admissions remains considerable. As we approach the critical phase of the admission sprint, with the exception of the exceptionally talented Lin Liqiang, who continues to be carefree, almost everyone else is nervously reviewing various subjects.

Alright! Let's do it another day! Lao Qin, whenever you are free, we will treat you then. Lin Liqiang abruptly waved his hand, decisively interrupting what Song Jia was about to say.

Buying time with money from Qin Fen? Do not mention Qin Fen's reaction, nor concern yourself with whether Inzalota will go berserk on the spot; even Lin Liqiang himself cannot tolerate such a life attitude of using money to exert pressure.

Everyone is intelligent; how could Lin Liqiang and Inzalota not know what Song Jia is about to say

Let’s do it this way. Song Jia couldn't help but step forward, smiling as she said: "Classmate Qin Fen, how much can you earn from working a day? I..."

Inzarota cast a satisfied glance at Qin Fen, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed to his wristwatch, saying: "Late"

Change a day? Song Jia is about to lose control of her breathing; she has never seen such a big-name person before

I... Qin Fen scratched his head and said with a hint of helplessness: "I have to work today..."

Song Jia's beautiful forehead twitched with two veins; even if everything said was the truth, expressing it this way, along with the - image - book, made her somewhat displeased

Inzagorota, this cool guy, is never stingy when it comes to money, but he is notoriously miserly with words among the three of them. The phrase "If you don't leave now, you will be late" comes out of his mouth, but it is simplified to just two words: "late"

In deep thought, Song Jia felt a chill of dissatisfaction, her body suddenly shivering as she awakened from her reverie. She looked at the departing Inzarota, momentarily taken aback, then gently smiled and said to Lin Liqiang, who was walking ahead: "Your friend is quite interesting"

Is that so? Please don't order anything too expensive; we never go to high-end restaurants. Lin Liqiang said as he walked, "By the way, the second son of the Super Beast Consortium is not here, only the high school senior Lin Liqiang."

Convergence! A level more profound than merging with nature! Throughout the day, Song Jia absorbed nothing from the lessons, preoccupied only with the evening's dinner party, contemplating how to subtly probe Qin Fen to see if he had suppressed his abilities.

If it is absolutely necessary to ask, can we change it to another day? Qin Fen said softly: Today, I need to explain to the boss about a small misunderstanding from yesterday
