The Mightiest Little Peasant

Chapter 221 - Friends With A Tycoon

Chapter 221: Friends With A Tycoon

The cavernous cafeteria fell into a deathly silence.

The boys all stiffened and their mischievous grins froze on their faces.

Their jaws dropped as they looked at the beautiful figure walking toward that corner of the cafeteria.

That was where the boy was sitting.

All around Tang Hao, his male classmates had turned into stone.

They saw with their eyes that beautiful figure walked near and an enchanting smile appeared on her perfect face.

Even the girls could not believe what they were seeing.

Liu Bingyao was not only popular among the boys but also the girls. Unlike most other pretty girls, Liu Bingyao barely had any rumors about her. The only recent one was that she was seen having coffee with a boy in a cafe.

Other than that, no one had ever seen her alone with another boy.

Many outstanding and famous boys had tried to attract her attention but she had ignored them all. How was Tang Hao, on his second day in college, able to win her attention?

Liu Bingyao casually walked over and stood in front of Tang Hao.

Everyone’s expressions became more shocked than ever. Some wailed out loud, lamenting the injustice of it all. How would the beauty queen be attracted by a nobody?

Everyone started staring daggers at Tang Hao.

“Who is that guy? Which faculty is he from?” Everyone discussed hotly among themselves.

Liu Bingyao put her tray on the table and sat down in front of Tang Hao. Her charming eyes inspected Tang Hao carefully.

She broke into a smile. “I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me! I didn’t expect that it’s really you! Why are you here?”

His classmates sitting around him were stunned.

Then, they understood. They were friends all along!

However, they noticed the beauty queen’s expression and realized that they might be more than normal friends. Even her tone of voice sounded intimate.

Tang Hao was becoming more and more an enigma to them. Not only he had an incredible photographic memory, but he was also a basketball expert, and now he was seen to have a more-than-normal relationship with Liu the Beauty Queen.

Cao Fei was utterly stunned. He looked at the two people in a daze.

He could not believe that the two people were so close to each other.

Tang Hao smiled and said, “I’m also a student of Z University now!”

Liu Bingyao was surprised. Her cherry-red lips opened slightly as she stared confusedly at Tang Hao.

“Weren’t you...”

“It’s a long and complicated story, but I am indeed a student here now,” Tang Hao said.

Liu Bingyao was stunned for a long time.

Tang Hao’s excuse sounded ridiculous to her, but she also knew that Tang Hao had no intention of deceiving her.

“That’s good to know!” She smiled sweetly, feeling happy in her heart.

‘If he’s a student here, that means I get to see him more often!’

They continued chatting over lunch.

The atmosphere around them gradually returned to normal, though some eyes still sneaked glances at the couple occasionally.

The classmates sitting around them tried to eavesdrop on their conversation.

The more they listened, the more shocked they were. They could not close their mouths.

‘Tang Hao is actually the president of Haotian Co. Ltd.? Does that mean that he’s a windfall tycoon?’

Their gaze toward Tang Hao had changed completely.

The girls’ eyes sparkled as they regarded Tang Hao.

They have heard of Bizhi Weight Loss Tea and Bingji Beauty Cream before. Many people had taken the weight loss tea and knew about its miraculous effects. The latter had only been released recently and its incredible popularity meant that it was sold out everywhere before they had a chance to buy it.

They did not expect that the president of that company was now their classmate!

After lunch, Tang Hao and Liu Bingyao walked out of the cafeteria together. Her presence had caused a commotion along the way, and they had to find somewhere secluded to sit down.

Tang Hao explained to her how he got into Z University.

The two parted ways before the afternoon classes started.

Before he went back to his classroom, Tang Hao took many cans of beauty cream from his pocket dimension and stored them in his backpack.

Since his classmate knew his true identity, there was no reason to hide it anymore. He would rather make friends than enemies, and the boxes of beauty cream could be considered an obligatory present. Furthermore, those girls had stood up for him against Gao Wenqiang that morning.

He stepped into the classroom, and many eyes immediately looked at him.

“Tang Hao, are you really the president of Haotian Co. Ltd.?”

“Tell me! What relationship do you have with the beauty queen?”

The girls crowded around Tang Hao and asked curiously.

Tang Hao coughed lightly and said awkwardly, “We’re nothing special, only classmates back in high school. As for Haotian Company, that is indeed my company. Here’s a present for you all. Everyone gets one.”

Then, he opened his backpack and passed the boxes of beauty cream around.

“Wow!” The girls shrieked in surprise.

“It’s the beauty cream! Each box costs a few hundred yuan!”

“Thank you, Tang Hao!”

“No, we should call him Boss Tang!” Some of the girls joked.

In their eyes, that eccentric, violent show-off had become an admirable windfall tycoon.

It was rare to have a wealthy friend, and they did not want to miss that chance.

However, they had jeered and looked down upon him earlier. Was it too materialistic for them to suck up to him now?

They hesitated for a while.

They were university students with dignity and pride. They would not bow to a windfall tycoon! They would not give in to their earthly desires!

Tang Hao turned around and walked to the back row.

“Ah, right! Let’s go for dinner tonight! It’s my treat! You all should come too!” He spoke toward the group of boys.

The boys were shocked and they looked at each other.

Many boys stood up and rushed toward Tang Hao and smiled fawningly at him.

“Brother Hao! From now on, I’ll call you Brother Hao!”

“Are your shoulders tired, Brother Hao? I’ll give you a massage!”

“Are your hands tired, Brother Hao? I’ll massage them for you!”

The sycophantic behavior of the boys had shocked Tang Hao.

Even the girls looked at the scene with incredulous eyes.

“Oh my, aren’t they shameless? Do they have to fawn over Tang Hao that way?”

“It seems that boys can be more shameless than girls when they put their heart to it!”

The boys did not mind the comments. What was a little dignity if they could be friends with a windfall tycoon?

More and more boys could not resist the temptation. They walked to Tang Hao and greeted him as ‘Brother Hao’. Even Zhuo Hang, who finally lost a battle to his conscience, gave in to the temptation. He came over sheepishly and greeted him ‘Brother Hao’.
