At six in the afternoon, Shuaiyu returned, looking as if he had been hit by frost. He only glanced at Su Hang once, said nothing, and with a very aggrieved look, picked up a few water bottles from the dormitory and silently went to fill them up.
Su Hang just wanted to laugh; there was no need to ask. This guy had gone to Liu Guifen to make a fuss, and with Liu Guifen's temper, how could she not give him a good scolding?
The treatment of a top student and a slacker was so different! For the first time in his life, Su Hang felt the superiority of being a top student.
He thought about finding an opportunity to meet the other subject teachers, learn their specialties, and get some special treatment. If he didn't have to attend classes anymore, wouldn't he have more free time?
Su Hang thought happily, though each teacher had a different personality, it wasn't impossible to try.
---
On Wednesday, there was only an English class. With Liu Guifen's special treatment, Su Hang naturally skipped class and slept until ten in the morning, much to the envy of his dorm mates.
Last night, the dorm mates had united to criticize Su Hang. No one believed that this guy, who had taken three years to pass the college entrance exam, could be so good at English that Liu Guifen would give him special treatment. However, after Su Hang demonstrated his skills, everyone was speechless. A conversation in English left them all dumbfounded, not understanding a single word.
After washing up, Su Hang called Xue Qi and went out.
After a few days of interaction, Xue Qi, though not a bad person at heart, had a strong air of being a spoiled brat and a severe case of middle school syndrome that Su Hang couldn't stand. However, since this guy was sticking to him, and there was a free luxury car to ride in, Su Hang didn't refuse, treating it as a small expense to keep a little follower.
"Brother Hang, where are we going?"
Xue Qi was excited. Since his sister cut off his allowance and refused to let anyone help him, his days in Rongcheng had been tough, and he had no choice but to cling to Su Hang. As the saying goes, "If you eat someone's food, you have to be soft-spoken, and if you take someone's money, you have to be short-handed." He had even changed his address to "Brother"!
"To the place we went last time," Su Hang said directly.
Xue Qi's interest was immediately piqued. He turned his head and said enthusiastically, "Are we going to resell jewelry and jade again? Brother Hang, how did you do it last time? You bought something for 50,000 and sold it for 200,000. Teach me, will you?"
"Come on, you're the young master of the Xue family. 200,000 is probably just a drop in the bucket for you, right?" Su Hang found it a bit amusing.
"200,000? I don't even have 20 yuan on me now," Xue Qi said with a wry face. "Brother Hang, just teach me. It could be a way for me to earn my own living."
"You can't learn that skill. Drive the car!" Su Hang laughed and urged Xue Qi to drive.
"What's the big deal? Isn't it just about tricking people?" Xue Qi pouted and started the car.
Xue Qi's guess was right. His purpose today was indeed to buy jewelry and jade. Last time, he made 150,000 from a single transaction, and Su Hang had tasted the sweetness of it. This was more addictive than participating in some eating contest. With the system in hand, as long as there were enough energy points, making hundreds of thousands in minutes was not a dream.
It was the same store, the Treasure Pavilion. Xue Qi was a bit hesitant to enter, worried about being recognized and beaten up by the staff. However, when the familiar staff members greeted him with smiles, he finally felt at ease.
It seemed the problem wasn't with the Treasure Pavilion. Selling good goods as inferior ones must have been a mistake by the manager of the opposite jewelry store when he overpriced the jade bracelet.
"I can't go to the opposite store again," Xue Qi thought to himself. The manager had been tricked out of 200,000 by Su Hang. If he saw Su Hang again, he would probably start a fight.
This time, Su Hang didn't choose large items. He spent 100,000 to buy five jade rings, the most expensive one costing just over 30,000.
If the jade was too high-end, his 100 energy points wouldn't be enough to refine it. Moreover, after refining, the value of precious stones would increase exponentially, and the jewelry store would be very cautious about buying them back. Rather than wasting time, Su Hang preferred to buy and resell smaller items, at least he could get the money immediately.
"Why did you buy so little?" Xue Qi was a bit surprised. He knew Su Hang had 200,000 and thought he would make a big deal.
"Don't be too greedy," Su Hang shook his head. Making a little money was fine, but making a lot of money could easily draw attention. "Let's find a place to sell these rings."
"I really can't see you. Can these broken rings sell for a high price like last time?" Xue Qi asked.
Su Hang shrugged and weighed the rings in his hand. "Not now, but soon."
Mysteriously, Xue Qi was about to ask more when his phone rang. He pulled it out, and his face changed immediately.
"Hey, sis, what's up?" As soon as he answered, Xue Qi's face was full of fake smiles, a sight that made Su Hang want to hit him.
"I'm here, right next to me." While talking, Xue Qi glanced at Su Hang.
Su Hang was taken aback. Was this about him?
"Sure, sure, I'll definitely complete the task." Xue Qi exaggeratedly saluted and said a few more words, but the other side seemed to have hung up.
"Your sister called you?" Su Hang asked when Xue Qi hung up.
Xue Qi smiled. "My sister said to bring you to see her."
"Your sister wants to see me?" Su Hang was surprised. He and Xue Xuan had only met once, so why would she want to see him?
Was it because of the support token? Or the final of the eating contest? Su Hang's mind was filled with doubts. He didn't sell the jade rings and followed Xue Qi into the car.

The car was on the move.
"Brother Hang, what's the relationship between you and my sister? I've been hearing her talk about you a lot these past two days. I've never seen her take such an interest in any man before," Xue Qi asked while driving.
"Oh? Really?"
The image of the proud and cold woman came to mind. He didn't think he was that excellent to make Xue Xuan think of him constantly. Clearly, it was the effect of the support token. The power of that token was indeed strong, but unfortunately, there was only one, and it would be gone after use.
"Why would I lie? Tell me, what's the relationship between you and my sister?" Xue Qi asked again.
Su Hang's lips curved into a smile. "If you like, you can call me brother-in-law."
"Damn." Xue Qi spat, glanced at Su Hang, and showed no attempt to hide his disdain. "My sister has high standards. She wouldn't look at a poor guy like you... uh..."
