Hai Long was not very happy about Hu Jing chatting with Sun Bo, but he couldn't be so petty as to forbid Hu Jing from talking to any man who wanted to pursue her. Besides, Hai Long believed he still had the charm. Hu Jing had been living with him for over ten days, and their relationship was getting better and better, almost like a couple. Hai Long thought it might be because Sun Bo was the student council president that Hu Jing was deliberately trying to get close to him.
What Hai Long didn't know was that all of this was premeditated. Sun Bo had liked Hu Jing since the start of the semester, but at that time, Sun Bo still had a girlfriend, so he didn't pursue Hu Jing.
Before New Year's Day, Sun Bo finally broke up with his girlfriend and then turned his attention to pursuing Hu Jing. However, Sun Bo didn't expect that during the time he was breaking up with his ex-girlfriend, Hu Jing had developed feelings for someone else and was getting closer and closer, almost becoming a couple. This made Sun Bo extremely angry, as he had gone to great lengths to break up with his ex-girlfriend, only to end up with nothing.
Every night, when he thought of Hu Jing's delicate face, her fiery figure, and her beautiful expression, his heart felt as if it were being scratched by cat claws, and he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. In the end, Sun Bo decided that even if Hu Jing had slept with Hai Long, he would still get her. He thought, "I'll just sleep with her and then dump her. Such a woman who makes my heart itch, how could I bear not to play with her?"
Thus, Sun Bo began to approach Hu Jing with a premeditated plan. To leave a good impression on Hu Jing, Sun Bo used the fact that the head of the women's department, who was the senior of Hu Jing's dormitory leader, was his cousin. He started frequently inviting the three girls from Hu Jing's dormitory to dinner. The three girls were not in a popular major and often sighed about finding jobs after graduation. In their eyes, Sun Bo's father ran a large company, and the family was very wealthy. Sun Bo often recommended his classmates to work at his father's company. If the three girls used their cousin's connection to deliberately get close to Sun Bo, they thought that when they graduated, they would have a good chance of working at Sun Bo's father's company, given that they were his juniors. What they didn't know was that their cousin had already been bought off by Sun Bo and was already working at his father's company. When Sun Bo heard about the three girls' thoughts, he laughed out loud. He had already planned to use the promise of a job at his father's company to lure the three girls into helping him pursue Hu Jing.
Since the three girls had the same idea, things became simpler. In just three days, the three girls became good friends with Sun Bo. With their cousin's encouragement, Sun Bo promised that they would work at his father's company after graduation. Since they were now his subordinates, they had to do things for him.
When the cousin mentioned that Sun Bo liked Hu Jing, the three girls hesitated for a moment but then agreed to help Sun Bo pursue Hu Jing. They started by constantly praising Sun Bo during class. Gossip is a woman's nature, and Hu Jing was easily drawn in by their words, listening to them talk about how young and wealthy Sun Bo was, and how capable he was. Hu Jing began to feel a bit attracted.
This time, Sun Bo, as the student council president, organized a school event. Because Hu Jing was talented, he asked her to participate in the performance, and Hai Long couldn't refuse.
Knowing that Hu Jing, as a girl from the countryside, most wanted to be recognized in the city, she would work hard to participate in the performance. No one could stop her, not even Hai Long. This was Sun Bo's third plan. Preparing for the performance would take a lot of free time, gradually reducing the time Hu Jing spent with Hai Long and increasing the time she spent with Sun Bo. This would give Sun Bo a greater chance. With his family's wealth and his good looks, why should he lose to Hai Long, an ordinary person? Hai Long had just acted first.
Not only that, but Sun Bo's fourth plan was also in motion: getting Hu Jing to move out of Hai Long's house. Although he learned from the three girls in Hu Jing's dormitory that Hu Jing had only moved in with Hai Long because she was sick and no one was taking care of her during the New Year, Sun Bo still felt like he had swallowed a fly. He demanded that the three girls find a way to get Hu Jing to move out of Hai Long's house, or else who knew when the two might spark something and end up together. Sun Bo never wanted a second-hand woman.
However, Hai Long was completely unaware of Sun Bo's plans and had no guard against the three girls in Hu Jing's dormitory. As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against a thief from within, and the inner traitor is the most terrifying. The three girls didn't think it was wrong to break up Hu Jing and Hai Long. Compared to Sun Bo, they didn't think Hai Long had any strength to compete. In front of Sun Bo, Hai Long was just a tiny insect. Only Sun Bo was worthy of Hu Jing and could make her life better. With this mindset, the three girls constantly talked about Sun Bo and occasionally compared him to Hai Long, creating a rift in Hu Jing's love for Hai Long.
For a girl like Hu Jing, someone like Sun Bo needed to be looked up to. When the two ate together, Hu Jing was very cautious and didn't dare to speak because of Sun Bo's many identities. Sun Bo showed his gentle and considerate side, actively engaging Hu Jing in conversation so she wouldn't feel awkward. Moreover, as a clear rich second-generation, Sun Bo had a high status in school, and the principal and teachers deliberately tried to get close to him. Hu Jing couldn't imagine such a high-status person speaking to her like this, making her feel his warmth and respect, which was what she most wanted. Sun Bo had hit Hu Jing's soft spot right away.
When buying a car today, Sun Bo quietly observed Hu Jing to see if she was a woman who cared a lot about money. If Hu Jing was a materialistic woman, her eyes and expression would betray her when she saw the various Mercedes-Benz cars in the 4S store. If he found out that Hu Jing was materialistic, Sun Bo would have a 100% chance of winning her over, as he was much wealthier than Hai Long. Sun Bo believed that for the sake of money, Hu Jing would be with him even if she didn't love him.
If Hu Jing wasn't materialistic and showed no reaction to the Mercedes-Benz cars, it would be more troublesome. A woman who doesn't care about money but values feelings is the most difficult to handle, and Sun Bo had never encountered one before, not knowing how to approach her. However, he wanted to win her over even more, as such women were rarer than pandas and would make the perfect wife. Now that he had met one, he couldn't let her go.
So, when they arrived at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, Sun Bo quietly observed Hu Jing's expression. However, as soon as they entered the store, Sun Bo saw Hu Jing looking at the Mercedes-Benz cars with a passionate gaze, and she unconsciously moved closer to the most expensive one, gently touching the hood as if looking at a lover.
Seeing Hu Jing's reaction, Sun Bo first sneered inwardly, then calmly stopped looking at her and started negotiating the price with the salesperson. He already knew that Hu Jing would soon be his girlfriend, so there was no need to watch her all the time.
How could a materialistic woman be supported by a man like Hai Long? This Mercedes-Benz store wasn't very large, and the most expensive car was only about 800,000 yuan. Sun Bo believed that if he directly offered 800,000 yuan, Hu Jing would choose to sell herself. A woman worth only 800,000 yuan wasn't worth investing so much emotion in.
Just as Sun Bo was feeling smug, he saw Hai Long come in. When he heard that Hai Long was a driver, Sun Bo was even more delighted, thinking, "It's like sending a pillow when someone is sleepy. I was just thinking about how to compare our backgrounds, and you come over to let me step on you. How cooperative."
Sun Bo said that Hai Long could earn money to support his family, which seemed to elevate Hai Long's character but also implied that Hai Long's family conditions were far worse than his. To further stimulate Hu Jing's perception of Hai Long, Sun Bo specially invited Hai Long to have dinner together.
Knowing that the food at the 1913 Café was relatively expensive and the environment was elegant, Sun Bo deliberately chose this place. He also brought many people to bully Hai Long, who didn't have enough money, to show off his rich second-generation status and lower Hai Long's status in Hu Jing's eyes. Unfortunately, Li Wanhu intervened, and this was Sun Bo's only mistake so far.
Usually, after school, Hu Jing would go to dinner with Hai Long. But today, when Hai Long waited for Hu Jing at the classroom door, Hu Jing apologized to him, saying, "Brother, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you that I have to stay late every day recently. The women's department is hosting a party, and I have two performances, one singing and one dancing. So, I can't have dinner with you recently."
Hai Long knew Hu Jing's strong personality and her sense of inferiority, always feeling that she was from the countryside and was inferior to others. She wanted to prove herself in front of others. So, he said with a smile, "Go ahead. I have some things to do in the evenings too, and I'll be back late." Hai Long indeed had a lot to do recently, as Guan Daqiu's return was approaching, and he needed to intensify his training.
