Su Lingchu immediately made clear the severity of the situation upon calling. After all, the entire nation was now waiting in front of their television sets. Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the screens waiting for Luo Chen to appear.
“Let them wait then. It is not as if I asked them to wait.” Luo Chen spoke, a single sentence choking Su Lingchu into silence for a long while.
Only after a good while did Su Lingchu speak from the other end of the phone.
“The logic is sound, but are you actually going or not?”
“And now the entire nation is waiting in anticipation. The Mount Qingcheng side has also been waiting.”
“Tell them to wait another two hours. I still have matters to attend to.” Luo Chen hung up directly.
Su Lingchu stood stunned for a full three minutes. Finally, he helplessly set the phone aside, then picked up another phone and dialled to notify the people on that end to wait another two hours.
He feared that daring to make the entire nation wait like this, if one searched the whole of Huaxia, only Luo Wuji alone could do so.
“Alas, who let him be called Luo Wuji?” Su Lingchu muttered to himself with a sigh, smiling bitterly.
Who could have thought that the young man he had gone to invite at Panlong Bay in Xinzhou would turn out to be such a great Buddha?
Capable of stirring up such an enormous storm domestically.
Luo Chen naturally did not know of Su Lingchu’s bitter smile. By now it was lunchtime, and Luo Chen headed straight in the direction of the cafeteria.
Food was provided here, with culinary styles from various countries, so most people would choose to eat at the cafeteria.
After all, in a foreign land, being able to eat dishes from one’s own country was actually a kind of fortune.
Though not particularly luxurious, the cafeteria was fairly large.
Luo Chen chose a Huaxia cuisine window, got a serving of food, then carried his tray toward an empty table.
Huaxia students studying abroad here were quite numerous. Which country one was from became obvious at a glance when eating. Of course, many people were also willing to try dishes from other countries.
However, the prices here were rather expensive. Luo Chen got a serving of rice and a vegetable dish, and it actually cost over fifty renminbi.
But the moment Luo Chen sat down, Yu Mengting also came over with her tray. Behind her actually followed Tang Hao as well.
The two did not bother asking whether Luo Chen agreed, and directly sat at the same table as him.
“How was it? Did you sleep well last night?” Tang Hao sneered. He thought that last night Luo Chen could not get a taxi and had spent the night freezing at the airport.
Luo Chen could not be bothered with Tang Hao, and instead directed his gaze toward the doorway.
Because a large group of young people dressed in exceptionally handsome attire had just swarmed in. Some of the young people were even wearing sunglasses.
Moreover, those young people were all dressed in luxurious clothing. One could tell at a glance they were either wealthy or noble, clearly a group of rich second-generation heirs.
This crowd escorted a woman directly toward the most luxurious private room upstairs in the cafeteria.
And behind those dozen or so people, a large crowd of students followed like bodyguards, making quite an impressive entrance.
It was a pity that the person in the middle was blocked tightly from view, so it was impossible to see who it was.
“Stop looking. That is our school’s campus beauty.” Yu Mengting explained, but a trace of jealousy could not be avoided in her eyes.
“What? Want to catch a glimpse of our school beauty’s lovely face?” Tang Hao spoke for the sake of speaking.
“But I can tell you, look at those dozen or so people. They are all Goryeo rich second-generation heirs. The poorest of them has assets of several tens of millions, and some even have billions.”
“Do you think you have the qualifications to look?” Tang Hao mocked.
“Tang Hao!” Yu Mengting said in a deep voice from the side.
“Luo Chen, eat. Stop looking. That crowd are indeed rich second-generation heirs, and one of them is even from the family of Goryeo’s richest man. Their net worth is not something we ordinary people can compare to.” Yu Mengting explained.
“Speaking of which, that campus beauty is actually a Huaxia person like us. It is just a pity that she is extremely proud, and almost never greets us.” Yu Mengting was clearly dissatisfied due to jealousy.
“A Huaxia person?” Luo Chen said in puzzlement.
“Yes, but there is nothing to be done. She is the campus beauty, so she will not pay attention to us at all. Even if we run into her normally, she acts as if she has not seen us.”
“Who let the most powerful and well-connected person in our school, Cha Junjae, be pursuing her? She indeed has the qualifications to be this proud.” Yu Mengting continued.
This campus beauty had come together with Yu Mengting and the others. Logically speaking, they were all Huaxia people and should be close to one another. But the moment she arrived she became the campus beauty. On her first day, three rich second-generation heirs drove sports cars to confess their feelings to her. Subsequently, at a welcoming evening party, she caused a sensation throughout the entire school.
She was praised as the goddess of all teachers and students in the school.
Even the most powerful and well-connected person in the school, Cha Junjae, was captivated by her and persistently launched his pursuit.
Yu Mengting, on the other hand, was merely a class beauty. Though she also had a large crowd pursuing her, compared to that campus beauty, she fell far short.
This had always left Yu Mengting nursing a grievance in her heart.
“Perhaps I know her.” Luo Chen turned his head and spoke.
“Oh, you know her?” Tang Hao sneered.
“Really think so highly of yourself?” Tang Hao shook his head.
Even he had a gap between himself and the other party. Normally he could not even exchange a word with her. Luo Chen actually said he knew her?
“Luo Chen, that is a bit of putting gold on your own face.” Yu Mengting also spoke, and her impression of Luo Chen grew increasingly worse.
You come from a small county town, and you would know that campus beauty?
Moreover, it was said that the campus beauty’s family background was also extremely illustrious domestically, with considerable assets. Could you, Luo Chen, possibly know her?
You are fundamentally people from two different worlds, alright.
Bragging without even drafting first. How could you have the nerve to tell such a lie that would collapse at the first poke.
She had originally thought Luo Chen was merely a bit arrogant. She had not expected him to be this flashy. Yu Mengting immediately decided to call her family later and tell them she would never bother with Luo Chen again.
“In the future, do not brag so outrageously. See your own status clearly.” Tang Hao sneered.
“Look at what you are eating, then look at what others are eating.” Tang Hao deliberately pushed his tray forward. His tray had three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup.
Luo Chen, on the other hand, only had a simple vegetable dish, looking exceptionally shabby.
“A person who can only afford to eat vegetables actually knows that campus beauty?”
“Why not ask her to treat you to a meal?”
Luo Chen did not bother with Tang Hao. After all, a dragon does not quarrel with an ant.
“Luo Chen, shall I get you another dish? The prices here are quite expensive. In the future, you should go to that cafeteria at the back. That one is a bit cheaper.” Yu Mengting looked at the vegetable in Luo Chen’s tray and ultimately could not help but say.
“Thank you. I got a vegetable because I like it.” Luo Chen smiled.
“Perhaps you will like vegetables for every meal from now on?” Tang Hao took over the conversation, sneering.
Yu Mengting did not speak further. If he could not afford it, he could not afford it. Yet he still had to put on a brave face. But Yu Mengting did not expose Luo Chen.
At this time, another large wave of people actually arrived.
Another large crowd of beauties swarmed in through the cafeteria entrance.
These beauties were all wearing skirts that exposed their thighs, and their looks were standard Goryeo plastic surgery faces.
They were considered extremely beautiful. Logically speaking, with so many beauties appearing, everyone should be extremely excited. But the moment this crowd entered, many people in the cafeteria rapidly picked up their trays and left their seats as if they had seen a ghost.
Even Tang Hao and Yu Mengting’s expressions changed.
Luo Chen had not been paying attention, but he discovered this crowd was actually coming for him.
Each beauty held a rose in her hand. Starting from the doorway, they lined up in two rows, extending directly to the table in front of Luo Chen.
“Coming for you?” Yu Mengting was greatly startled, showing a flustered expression as she looked at Tang Hao.
Because it could not possibly be coming for Luo Chen, right?
Tang Hao was first stunned, but then shook his head, finally looking at Luo Chen in surprise.
But immediately, the cold sneer and mockery on Tang Hao’s face grew increasingly thick.
Just at this moment, a girl dressed in extremely flamboyant attire, with her arms densely covered in tattoos, walked in carrying a large bouquet of roses. Her gaze locked directly onto Luo Chen.
Tang Hao sneered, pulling Yu Mengting aside.
“Luo Chen, run.” Yu Mengting warned.
“Cannot run now. Too late. You are quite capable, actually offending even Widow Sister.” Tang Hao spoke with schadenfreude.
