Shane Yu accompanied President Jing as they played golf.

Before them stretched an endless expanse of green grassland. President Jing spoke and chatted elegantly, always choosing a golf course to discuss projects. In Shane Yu’s vulgar eyes, President Jing was simply pretentious.

“President Jing, you’re really good at golf!” Shane Yu praised with a smile.

President Jing smiled proudly and said, “Let’s take a break.”

They sat in the VIP lounge area.

“Successful people like us should do more social responsibility activities, participate in more public welfare activities and environmental protection activities to enhance the company’s reputation and influence.” President Jing spoke eloquently from his seat.

Shane Yu rolled her eyes inwardly, looking down on hypocrites. They were all wolves in sheep’s clothing. It was all just to whitewash… He made it sound so noble.

“Everyone knows you, Mr. Jing, are passionate about doing good deeds. We should all learn from you,” Shane Yu said with a gentle smile.

“How about 8% for our real estate project?” Shane Yu cut to the chase, not wanting to deal with him anymore; she felt he was too hypocritical.

“Money isn’t that important to me anymore. I just enjoy a carefree life now. I value my reputation more,” Mr. Jing said meaningfully.

“I happen to own an advertising company that does a pretty good job with big data marketing! From now on, for Mr. Jing’s company’s charitable activities, I’ll be there to promote them across the entire internet, guaranteeing your company will gain national recognition,” Shane Yu said with a smile, looking at Mr. Jing.

Shane Yu thought to herself: If you don’t take this opportunity, the business deal is off.

“It’s so pleasant communicating with someone so clever! Mr. Yu, I wish us a pleasant cooperation!” Mr. Jing smiled and extended a hand in cooperation.

Shane Yu quickly shook Mr. Jing’s hand.

Hahaha~ Both of them laughed happily, their laughter as melodious as silver bells, echoing in the air.

(In Shane Yu’s eyes, CEO Jing’s good deeds were all for money laundering or legal tax avoidance. Many entrepreneurs, once they become large and powerful, develop methods for legal tax avoidance. Some use charitable donations to avoid taxes, while others directly establish Red Cross societies, allowing the donated money to flow directly back into their own hands. There are even more extreme cases where they don’t spend a penny but directly advertise how much they’ve donated—a practice known as fraudulent donation. They gain a good reputation without spending a single penny!)

(Furthermore, large corporations also prioritize a good reputation, publicizing even small acts of kindness across the entire internet. This is definitely the result of big data promotion, with professional operators manipulating the backend. This doesn’t apply to all companies, but it applies to most. Don’t let big data lead your thinking; what you see is just messages tailored specifically for you by certain individuals.)

Shane Yu checked the time and realized it was already noon. He habitually called Sharon Yao.

“Hello!” Sharon Yao’s sweet voice came through, a voice like heavenly music. Listening to her voice, Shane Yu felt as if his body and mind were being healed, extremely comfortable.

“How was your day at school? Did anyone dare bully you again?”

“No, they apologized to me today. I want to forgive them.”

Shane Yu frowned and said, “How can you be so kind? Forgiving someone just because they apologized.”

“We didn’t have any major conflicts. Since they apologized, let’s just let it go!” I quickly explained.

“But I’m worried they might cause you trouble later. I’ll have those six transfer schools so you won’t have to see them and get upset.” Shane Yu voiced his concern.

“Thank you! Uncle!”

“Still calling me ‘Uncle’? Call me ‘husband’!”

“I’m at school!”

“Then call me when you get back!”

“Okay!” Sharon Yao blushed and hung up the phone. Her face was as red and radiant as a ripe apple.

In the afternoon PE class.

Felix Xu, Tank Gu, and Simon Hu were playing basketball together.

The two girls watched their loved ones play basketball with great enthusiasm, their eyes like those of someone who had been walking in the desert for days and suddenly saw an oasis.

I was deep in thought, trying to recall how Shane Yu had asked me to call him “husband” on the phone at noon—how could I possibly say it?

“Felix Xu and I got back together! Felix Xu said he wants to treat you two to dinner this weekend to thank you for your help!” Snow Chen said sincerely.

“Will Tank Gu be coming? Why don’t you have Felix Xu bring Tank Gu along?” Charlotte Wang was incredibly excited, her face beaming like a blooming flower.

Snow Chen thought for a moment before replying, “I can try talking to Felix Xu, but I don’t know if he’ll come.”

I hesitated, saying, “I… I can’t decide yet. I’ll let you know when I do.” I was thinking to myself, worried that Shane Yu might have other plans.

Snow Chen patted my shoulder sincerely, “Sharon, I really hope you can come.”

“I’ll try my best!” I replied.

Then, the two of them enthusiastically offered water to the two people you admired. Felix Xu happily accepted the water from Snow Chen, his smile as radiant as the sun.

Tank Gu, seeing the water Charlotte Wang offered, frowned, his face revealing his displeasure.

Then his good buddy Simon Hu immediately took it.

“Perfect timing, I’m thirsty, thanks! Beautiful lady!” Charlotte Wang’s face turned bright red with anger, and she chased after Simon Hu, her fists raining down on him.

I watched Charlotte Wang smile, thinking she and Simon Hu were a good match! At least better than Tank Gu, he knew how to make girls happy.

Tank Gu then glanced at me, looking at my smiling face for a few more moments.

He turned to drink his water.
