Chapter 51 No Matter How Much It Costs, It's Worth It to Find You
Inside a girls' dormitory at Gusu University, a girl was anxiously checking her phone, as if it contained the most important thing in her life.
The girl was quite tall, nearly reaching 170 cm, and she had thick, flowing long hair, a pair of slender legs, and a pair of beautiful eyes. However, deep within those eyes, there was always a hint of indescribable sorrow.
Her desk was tidy, with a mirror, makeup box, books, computer; everything was arranged in an orderly fashion. There was also a black guitar leaning against the side of the table, which used to be her best companion.
"Creak!" The dormitory door was suddenly pushed open, and another girl hurriedly rushed in, "Yiyi, didn't you say you were going to meet an online friend today? Why are you still in the dorm? I saw you started putting on makeup early in the morning, what happened, did someone stand you up? I told you online dating is unreliable..."
"No, my phone suddenly turned off for some reason, and I haven't even agreed on a place with him yet. Hurry up and lend me your phone!" The girl called Yiyi seemed to have found a savior.
"Yiyi, it's not that I don't want to help you today, but if you miss this opportunity, you won't find such a chance to make money in your lifetime!"
"What money-making opportunity is more important than your sister?"
"You don't know, there's a super-rich tycoon who came to our school gate, and he's definitely a second-generation rich kid. He seems to have taken a fancy to some girl in our school and almost got the whole school looking for her, even some teachers are helping him."
"Who has such capability?" the girl exclaimed, "Our school has tens of thousands of students and faculty."
"I might be exaggerating a bit, but there are definitely thousands! You won't believe it when I tell you, just by helping him find this person, you get a reward of 100,000 right away, additional 100,000 for clues, and if you help him find the person, another reward of 1 million. If we know this person, that's 1.2 million instantly, and with that, we could buy a small apartment in a cheaper area."
"Is there such a strange person?"
"Right? I bet this guy has spent a few hundred million by now. If it weren't for everyone in our friend circle sharing screenshots looking for this person, I would never believe it. Oh, I have a spare phone, take it quickly, it's 100,000 we're talking about, don't let it slip away!"
"You have a spare phone? Why didn't you say it earlier? Lend it to me quickly!"
"Alright, what's mine is yours," the girl said and pulled out an old phone from the drawer, "It's an old model from a few years back, don't look down on it."
"Qianqian, I love you to death!" The girl hugged Qianqian and planted a kiss on her face.
"Hurry up and go, this is our chance to strike it rich. With this money, we can go to Iceland for the winter break to see the aurora, isn't that your dream?"
"I know, stop pushing me!" Yiyi immediately took out her sim card and put it into the spare phone. Luckily, the phone still had some battery left. Although it wouldn't last very long, it was enough to last until she could contact Zhang Menglong.
"I wonder which lady is so lucky to catch the eye of such a rich second-generation guy; this isn't just throwing away money, I really don't understand the world of the wealthy."
"What's the matter? Are you jealous? I'm not the least bit jealous!"
"Cut it out, you're completely love-struck right now. Be careful later and keep in touch with us. If this Zhang Menglong turns out to be some creep, we'll rush over and help you take him down!"
"I know! He's not like that!"
"Bullshit!" The girl named Qianqian said nonchalantly, "You guys always chat so loudly, do you think we're deaf? I'm telling you, Yiyi, you're a girl after all, constantly chatting about all kinds of crap with a guy you've never even met, can't you be a bit more reserved?
Besides, listening to the content of your chats makes even my face turn red; I could almost imagine a raunchy novella of 100,000 words."
"Ah, Qianqian, stop talking!" The girl quickly covered her roommate's mouth, "You don't understand our relationship!"
"Alright, alright, I don't understand, but let's get going, OK? Otherwise, the cooked duck will fly away!"
Finally, the girl logged back into her WeChat, and at that moment, Zhang Menglong's profile showed 99+ messages. Seeing this barrage of messages, the girl instantly revealed a charming smile.
"Look at you, almost drooling with laughter, you... hey..."
"My phone just broke, sorry about that, where are you now? I'll come out and find you right away!" She immediately sent a message to Zhang Menglong.
"Oh my dear mother, I thought you had been kidnapped, you scared me to death." Zhang Menglong received her message and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, it's not like I did it on purpose."
"I'm right outside your school gate now, the most conspicuous one there is me."
"As if! Everyone knows you're an engineering student who's always in the lab, probably bald by now?" Although she was teasing Zhang Menglong, the girl's steps quickened.
"By the way, I heard there was a rich guy at the school gate today looking for someone, offering 100,000 per person, have you seen him?"
"Seen him? Of course!" Zhang Menglong laughed.
"Who knows what kind of fool would do that, is it necessary to find someone?"
"Are you calling me a fool?" replied Zhang Menglong, "Unless you kiss me, I won't get over it."
"I wasn't calling you a fool, I meant that fool... wait, the person they're talking about isn't you, is it?"
"Well if that isn't me then!" said Zhang Menglong. "I didn't even know your name or what you looked like, I only knew your nickname, so I had to look for you this way."
"Qianqian, who is that person looking for?" the girl confirmed with her roommate.
"I have no idea, no name, no photo, just a nickname on some video platform called 'Double Sugar Starbucks', how could that ghost help him find anyone?"
"Is it really you?" The girl suddenly showed a surprised expression, "But you aren't..."
"I told you before, if I don't work hard, I'll have to inherit the family wealth, but even though I'm trying hard, I still have to inherit it, nothing I can do, it's beyond my abilities!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Why... why are you wasting money like this?"
"If it means I can find you, any amount of money is worth it."
"Are you crazy!" The girl immediately became anxious, "Don't go anywhere, I'm coming over now!"
The girl immediately turned off her phone. She flicked her long hair back and sprinted towards the school gate.
"Yiyi, why are you running so fast, wait for me!"
"So what if you have long legs!"
"Wuu wuu wuu, take my phone with you, help me collect the money first!"
