Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love

A few people pulled out their phones and searched for King’s Game on Baidu. Without a doubt, the results were the same as what Wang Gang had seen.

King’s Game... is owned by the Boss!?!? What kind of mind-blowing plot twist is this!?

How could the owner of the King’s Game Company be a kept man? That was a joke.

"My God, I’ve been staying up all night, grinding away during every spare moment at work, and it turns out the game belongs to the Boss! Has the world gone surreal?"

"The owner isn’t just the Boss; Cui Hao is one too. You know, the handsome guy who transferred from Yancheng to help out a few days ago? I thought he was just the Boss’s classmate, but it turns out he has such a badass background. If I’d known, I would’ve asked him for some game skins. For people like them, giving away a skin must be as easy as lifting a finger."

They all really liked the new skins that had been released recently, but they were too expensive to buy on a whim. They were still on the fence, planning to pull the trigger once their bonuses came in.

"No, we should tell them the skins are all too expensive. They could lower the prices a bit..."

The group was chattering away, their imaginations running wild. In their hearts, they had already elevated Xue Yang to the status of a legend.

"Wang Gang must be regretting this so badly his guts have turned green," someone finally said, remembering the recently departed Wang Gang.

Thinking of how determined he looked when he left, they used to think he had guts. But now?

What an idiot. He’s probably crying his eyes out in a bathroom stall right now!

"He’s not just regretting it," someone else added. "If the Boss wanted to press the issue, that guy wouldn’t have been able to leave Xi Yuan so easily. From now on, whenever we hear gossip, it’s best to keep our mouths shut so we don’t end up with egg on our faces."

Li You had been worried about how all this gossip might affect Xue Yang, but his worry vanished when he found out King’s Game was one of his businesses.

Xue Yang... just how capable are you, really?

The more he learned about him, the more he seemed like a treasure chest. He was always full of surprises, and each one was more shocking than the last.

At this point, the group continued to discuss Xue Yang’s accomplishments.

"I heard that the Boss could have gone into showbiz, but he gave it up in the end."

It’s strange how people work. When you see someone’s bad side, it feels like the whole world is full of negative information about them, with everyone trying to tear them down. Conversely, when you see their good side, it’s all praise. And the praise is always as over-the-top as it gets, bordering on the ridiculous.

"Really?"

"How could it be fake? The clothes you’re wearing are from Trendy Apparel, right?"

"Aren’t these our work uniforms? I have to say, wearing a light luxury brand as a work uniform really gives you some bragging rights when you go out."

"Bragging rights aside, I just wanted to tell you that this brand is endorsed by our boss. And he’s the one and only endorser."

At this, everyone gasped in amazement once more.

"Look, the Boss even shot the latest promotional campaign himself."

The boy in the photo was wearing a beach T-shirt, looking sunny, handsome, and full of vigor. It was the kind of picture that made you want to immediately click through and buy the clothes.

"No wonder... I always had this feeling of familiarity whenever I clicked into Trendy Apparel’s online store. So that was the reason. How could I have not paid attention to the spokesperson before? I must have been blind."

"And that’s not all. I heard that last year, the Boss already had an offer from the Lin Corporation. He was all set to start as soon as he graduated. But he gave it up in the end because he wanted to try building his own business from the ground up. Tell me, how could a person like that be a kept man? If he really wanted an easy life, he could have just joined the Lin Corporation after graduation. He wouldn’t have to go through the hardship of flying everywhere. Starting your own company is no easy task."

From then on, no one dared to underestimate Xue Yang anymore. If a customer questioned their boss, they would even help correct them. In doing so, they inadvertently saved Trendy Apparel a fortune in marketing costs.

When they eventually learned that Xue Yang was also a shareholder of Trendy Apparel, the only word they could use to describe their boss was "phenomenal."

Of course, that is a story for another time.

After hearing everyone’s discussion, Li You finally figured out where he stood.

I should just focus on my job from now on and stop chasing such unrealistic dreams.

Xue Yang returned to the office and began delegating tasks to Wu Xiaoya.

"Xiao Ya, I’m returning to Yancheng the day after tomorrow. I’ll have to trouble you to watch over things here."

He had already decided to entrust this branch to Wu Xiaoya.

"Boss, please rest assured, I will not fail your trust. Also, Boss, about today... I’m very sorry."

Wu Xiaoya lowered her head, bracing for a reprimand. She knew she had handled the situation poorly.

However, Xue Yang didn’t scold her. Instead, he comforted her, "You’ll learn how to handle these things with more experience."

"Boss..."

"Instead of standing here getting emotional, you should be thinking about how to improve your skills. Xiao Ya, don’t disappoint me."

Seeing Xue Yang’s earnest expression, Wu Xiaoya nodded solemnly. "Don’t worry, Boss. I will definitely work hard to improve my professional skills."

She silently vowed to herself, I will never let the Boss down again.

"Mm."

「Early on the morning of the 17th.」

Xue Yang was up early. After washing up, he carried his suitcase downstairs.

Zhong Hailan had already prepared breakfast.

Xue Yuanqing, sitting at the dining table, saw Xue Yang come down and called out, "Come eat."

Zhong Hailan placed a bowl of egg noodles in front of Xue Yang and said, "Will the next time you come back be for the New Year?"

"Mom, I still have business here. There’s no way I’ll only be back for the New Year."

That’s right. The Xi Yuan Auto Market can’t function without Xue Yang. Thinking this, Zhong Hailan finally felt a little relieved.

After breakfast, it was time to leave. Lin Zhenhai had originally planned to have someone pick him up, but Xue Yang had refused, knowing his parents would insist on seeing him off.

The luggage was loaded, and the family of three got into the car, heading for Hui City Airport.

Forty minutes later, the car arrived at the airport parking lot.

"Dad, Mom, you can head back now."

"Be careful on the road."

"I will."

Xue Yang waved to them, then walked towards the airport terminal.

Lin Xi was already waiting for him in the lounge.

"Xue Yang~"

The moment Xue Yang entered the airport, Lin Xi spotted him and hurriedly ran over.

"Where are your parents?"

"I told them to go back first."

"I wanted to say goodbye to them before we left," Lin Xi said, taking Xue Yang’s hands and swinging them gently.

"We can just video call them to let them know we’ve landed safely."

"Okay. Let’s go. Dad’s already waiting for us on the plane."
