Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Boss! You’re Famous Again
At that moment, both Wu Yun’s and Pang Guang’s phones buzzed simultaneously.
A message from their dorm’s group chat popped up. Liu Yongheng had sent two pictures, followed by a line of text.
"Boss, Pang Guang! Which do you think is more badass, the G63 or the Range Rover?"
Liu Yongheng also sent the specific models. The G63 was the same model Wu Yun had bought last time, while the Range Rover was a 2014 5.0 V8 SC Autobiography Ultimate Edition Long Wheelbase.
Both cars cost around two million yuan, with the Range Rover being three to four hundred thousand more expensive.
Wu Yun hadn’t even considered a Range Rover. In his opinion, it was an "idiot tax" brand, hyped up and sold specifically to Chinese buyers. "I think they have different styles. The G63 is obviously sportier and better suited for young people. The Range Rover has a heavier, more substantial feel, which doesn’t really fit our age group."
"Right, right, that’s what I told Yongheng," Li Shiming chimed in on the group chat.
Pang Guang, who was more talkative now than when he first arrived, added, "I still think so."
Wu Yun sent a mischievous emoji, then added, "Besides, if you drive them both out, way more girls will recognize a G-Wagen than a Range Rover!"
Wu Yun’s words struck a chord deep in Liu Yongheng’s soul, like a magic spell, making him decide in an instant.
"Alright! I’ll get the same G63 as Boss, then. I want it in Quicksand Gold."
With that, he sent a picture he found online to the group. It was indeed a rather flashy color, guaranteed to turn heads wherever it went.
The group chatted and joked for a while longer, with Liu Yongheng in particular fantasizing about buying the car and how he was going to "take on four at once."
A short while later, Liu Yongheng sent a picture of the purchase contract to the group.
Seeing that Wu Yun had finished his chat, Zhang Qiuyue, who had been waiting beside him, spoke with a smile. "Wu Yun, you’re so busy today! I just saw you guys looking at cars. Are you getting a new one?"
Zhang Qiuyue asked like a curious child, but crucially, her voice and tone were such that no one could find her annoying. What’s more, she would lean in, intentionally or not, and the faint, pleasant fragrance from her body was refreshing.
Wu Yun, just to pass the time, edged away slightly and said with a smile, "It’s nothing. My roommate is buying a car and asked us to help him choose a model."
Wu Yun added, "In the end, he chose the same model I bought for Wen Meng, the G63, just in gold."
Zhang Qiuyue was a little surprised. ’So the university is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers after all.’ To think there was another rich kid in Wu Yun’s dorm alone who wasn’t short on cash.
After all, in her attempt to learn more about Wu Yun, she had specifically looked up the price of a G63 online. It was a car that ordinary people could never afford in their lifetime.
Zhang Qiuyue couldn’t help but feel a flicker of curiosity about Wu Yun’s roommate, and a few other ideas began to form in her mind.
’It must be that tall guy from out of province, Liu Yongheng.’
During the ten-minute break between classes, Zhang Qiuyue didn’t leave. Instead, she found topics to chat with Wu Yun about, making them look close and occasionally making ambiguously intimate gestures.
The only class that morning was Si Xiu, so after it ended, Wu Yun and Pang Guang headed back to the dorm.
Lying on the bed he had barely slept in, Wu Yun stretched comfortably.
Liu Yongheng had made it clear he was treating them to lunch to celebrate his new car, so the two of them went straight back to the dorm to wait for him and Li Shiming to return to campus.
Just as Wu Yun was drifting off to sleep, the dorm room door was violently thrown open.
"Boss! Boss! You’re famous again!" Li Shiming’s effeminate shout rang out, jolting Wu Yun awake.
"Holy shit! Can you be a little quieter? I was just talking business with a beautiful woman!" Wu Yun sat up, jumped off his bed, and grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the table, chugging half of it. GULP, GULP.
"What is it? What’s all the fuss about?" Wu Yun asked unhurriedly after swallowing the water.
Liu Yongheng was also anxious. He pulled out his phone, pointed to an open forum post, and said, "Boss, there’s a post... it could be bad for you!"
Wu Yun and Pang Guang also opened the forum app. Ever since Wu Yun had become famous on the forum, both he and Pang Guang had downloaded it. They would browse it occasionally, reading interesting comments to kill time.
"Explosive News: Campus Heartthrob is Two-Timing!" This was the post’s title. It had been marked as a ’choice post’ and pinned to the top, right next to the previous post about Wu Yun.
Clicking on the post revealed several paragraphs of text.
"No one would object to calling Wu Yun the most talented student among the freshmen, right? It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to call him the department or campus heartthrob."
"I’m sure everyone has seen the previous posts or the live broadcast/videos from the welcome gala, so you’re all familiar with Wu Yun."
"Many people know that Wu Yun is dating Wen Meng, a senior from the dance department. The two are even living together in an off-campus apartment complex."
"According to rumors, Wu Yun bought that white G-Wagen for Wen Meng. You have to admit, this tall, rich, and handsome guy is seriously loaded!"
"But during class this morning, Wu Yun was acting intimately with a pretty girl from the same major, flirting in the back row. Has our campus heartthrob switched girlfriends? Or is there another story here?"
A photo was attached. Due to the camera angle, Pang Guang, who was sitting next to Wu Yun, wasn’t in the shot.
The photo clearly showed the two of them sitting in the back row. Zhang Qiuyue was leaning close to Wu Yun’s ear, whispering something, while Wu Yun had his head lowered slightly, appearing to listen.
They looked very close. Most people would have a hard time believing there was nothing going on between them.
Wu Yun had to admit, the photo was cleverly taken. The back row looked like it was occupied by just the two of them, exactly like a couple getting up to something in the back seats.
"Damn it, which son of a bitch with nothing better to do posted this! So what if Boss is two-timing? It’s none of their damn business." Liu Yongheng was furious. What was happening to Wu Yun could set a precedent for him; it might make it harder for him to date in the future.
"I can vouch for him. I was sitting right next to Boss. That girl came onto him," Pang Guang said, zooming in on the photo, but he couldn’t find himself anywhere in it.
Liu Yongheng cursed, "Pang Guang, where the hell are you? How come you’re not in the picture?"
Wu Yun waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly. "It’s fine. It’s just the angle of the photo. I’d say this was the work of two different parties."
"Who?!" Liu Yongheng shot to his feet. "Shit, I’ll find some guys to take care of them."
Liu Yongheng, being from Jin Province, wasn’t afraid of trouble and immediately wanted to go and make some for those people.
Wu Yun stopped him, smiling. "It’s probably just a coincidence. The two parties might not even know each other."
Seeing Wu Yun’s calm expression, Liu Yongheng also calmed down. Like Li Shiming and Pang Guang, he waited curiously for Wu Yun to explain.
"If I’m not mistaken, she’s the one who had someone take the photo." Wu Yun pointed his finger at Zhang Qiuyue in the picture.
"And if I’m right, she’s about to message me to apologize and absolve herself of all responsibility." Wu Yun recalled the classic lines of a "green tea bitch" he’d heard of in his past life and a slight smile appeared on his face.
DING-DONG~ Wu Yun’s phone screen lit up. A WeChat message popped up. It was from Zhang Qiuyue.
