Sheng Qi's forehead veins bulged. "Are you itching for a beating?"
"Good night, beauty!" Bai Tang quickly made her exit.
"Zhang Xiaochu, let's go!" Seeing him still spacing out, Bai Tang grabbed his clothes and dragged him away.
Along the way, Zhang Xiaochu remained silent. Bai Tang asked with a smile, "What's up? Did studying make you go mute or something?"
Zhang Xiaochu suddenly stopped, blocking Bai Tang's path, and looked at her seriously. "Bai Tang!"
"What?"
He paused for two seconds, lips pressed tight, his tone irritated. "Do you only like guys who can solve problems?"
"Huh?"
"Like Sheng Qi, the kind who can do a few test questions!" Zhang Xiaochu said, clearly annoyed.
Seeing Bai Tang's confused expression, he continued, "I thought you were lying when you said you liked smart people, but now I totally believe you!"
Bai Tang was puzzled by his strange words today. "What's gotten into you?"
Zhang Xiaochu snorted. "If I could solve a few test papers, would you show me some admiration too?"
Bai Tang stared at the young man in front of her. He seemed to have misunderstood something!
Given his mindset, Bai Tang figured she shouldn't crush his enthusiasm at least.
"We'll see," Bai Tang said.
"Then it's settled!" Zhang Xiaochu finally felt a bit better.
"What?" Bai Tang asked.
"I'm going to study hard and prove to you that if I want to, learning is a piece of cake for me!" Zhang Xiaochu declared proudly. "My IQ is enough to crush everyone. Studying? Easy!"
"Just wait to be my girlfriend!"
Zhang Xiaochu said boldly.
Bai Tang's mouth twitched. Just as she was about to speak, Zhang Xiaochu quickly cut her off. "That's it, I'm out!"
With that, he didn't give Bai Tang a chance to refuse, dashing off fast, afraid she'd call him back.
Watching his quickly retreating figure, Bai Tang smiled faintly. Teenagers with delusions of grandeur sure thought in such grandiose ways!
She didn't know whether to crush his confidence or not.
Still, if it could spark a bit of fighting spirit in him, that was good.

"Second Young Master, the information you asked for is ready." The assistant handed over the documents.
Feng Zi, sitting on the sofa, took them with a cold expression.
These past few days in Lingshan City, nothing had gone his way!
Opening the documents, Feng Zi's gaze fell on them indifferently.
A few minutes later, a hint of malicious amusement flickered in his eyes.
"So that's how it is," Feng Zi sneered. "No wonder Bai Chengfeng treats Bai Tang this way. So this is the reason!"
The assistant asked seriously, "Second Young Master, should we use this?"
Feng Zi laughed. "Bai Chengfeng is cornered like a desperate dog, trying to destroy Bai Tang, isn't he?"
"I was planning to do him a favor and take care of Bai Tang for him, but given the situation, this is clearly more useful!"
"Are you not going to help Bai Chengfeng?" the assistant asked.
Feng Zi shook his head. "I'll help, but not with Bai Chengfeng's method—with mine."
Thinking of Bai Tang, Feng Zi's hand tightened, his eyes blazing with anger.
That brat had provoked him time and again. This time, he'd see how Bai Tang could turn things around!
But first, he needed to use this information to have a talk with Sheng Qi.
"Arrange a meeting with Sheng Qi. Tell him I want to see him," Feng Zi said with a cold laugh.
