Chapter 26 - Commoner
Lin Yi nodded. So he was an entertainment tycoon, someone who relied on nightclubs and karaoke to make a name for himself. He couldn't say all of them, but a lot of them had a shady background. But that was understandable. After all, there were all sorts of people who came looking for trouble. It was impossible to run a business without a strong background.
"Looks like his family's pretty big in the city." Lin Yi wasn't afraid of Pinliang at all. As far as he was concerned, mafia bosses and corporate CEOs weren't as scary as his old man.
Old Lin would beat him to death if he pissed him off, and he wouldn't be able to defend himself at all.
"His family's nothing." Kang Xiaobo curled his lips in disdain. It was obvious that he didn't like Pinliang at all. "If we're talking about money, Mengyao's family's the real deal. Pinliang's family only has a couple of entertainment businesses in the city, but House Chu's is the real deal. They have a lot of branches in the country."
Lin Yi had a rough understanding of Pengzhan's power. If Pengzhan Industries was an aircraft carrier, then House Zhong's businesses were small boats. It was only natural that Mengyao didn't care about a nouveau riche like Pinliang.
"Looks like you know a lot!" Lin Yi smiled.
Kang Xiaobo's face reddened as he said awkwardly. "How many boys in our school don't know about Mengyao's background? Yushu, on the other hand, is a little more mysterious. "
"How so?" Lin Yi was curious. Lin Yi had never met Yushu's family before, but he could tell that Yushu was picked up by Mengyao's family car every day, and even ate at Mengyao's house after school. It made Lin Yi feel like Yushu was borrowing Mengyao's fame, but Kang Xiaobo's words made it seem like that wasn't the case.
"I heard that Yushu's grandfather was an elder during the liberation period, and her brother was a major general in the army. Back in the first year of high school, there was a boy who used his family background to chase after Yushu, so he tried some dirty tricks. Yushu's brother found out about it and beat the boy up, sending him to the hospital for half a year. The boy's family didn't even dare say a word, and even went to the Chen house to apologize, "Kang Xiaobo said mysteriously," From this, you can see how powerful Yushu's background is! Yushu, on the other hand, doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble. There are a lot of people who like her, but they don't dare confess. "
Lin Yi thought to himself, this is called not causing trouble? She doesn't cause trouble, but she always provokes me! Not only did she have a handle on him, but she even saw that part of him … What the hell was going on?!
Just thinking about it gave him a headache. Lin Yi wasn't afraid that Yushu's brother would cause trouble for him- he knew Yushu's personality well, and the girl seemed to be a lot more open-minded than Mengyao. She wouldn't harp on things like this, but Mengyao … She probably hated him even more now, didn't she? Sometimes, Lin Yi would rather be Yushu's study companion than Mengyao. The Miss was really hard to please.
"Lin Yi, you're not falling for them, are you?" Kang Xiaobo patted Lin Yi's shoulder when he saw that Lin Yi wasn't saying anything.
Lin Yi smiled bitterly, shaking his head. "How could I? I've never thought about that. "Wasn't this asking him to steal from the Miss? It made Lin Yi feel a sense of guilt, as if he was a servant in ancient times trying to steal from the Miss …
"Haha, but bro, if you really want to chase after them, there's another candidate!" Kang Xiaobo whispered mysteriously.
"Who?" Lin Yi asked casually, not because he cared, but because he wanted to know more about the school through Kang Xiaobo's mouth.
"Tang Yun from twelfth grade class nine." Kang Xiaobo cleared his throat. "Our school's poor school beauty. She's pretty, but just like us, her family isn't that well off. She wears her school uniform every day, and she doesn't dress up, but that doesn't hide her beauty."
"Tang Yun?" Lin Yi was taken aback. It was a pretty name, but he didn't know if she was as pretty as Kang Xiaobo said.
"Of course, compared to the two princesses, Mengyao and Yushu, Tang Yun doesn't stand out that much." Kang Xiaobo's voice was a little rushed and excited when he mentioned Tang Yun. "But compared to them, she's closer to us."
In a school like No.1 Middle School, there were children of the rich and the poor. Unknowingly, they were divided into two factions. Some rich young masters gathered together and chased after beauties all day long, playing games with life. After graduation, they could use their money and family connections to get into their ideal university, or even study abroad.
Poor kids, on the other hand, had to work hard every day to get into their ideal university. Most of the poor students were dismissive of the idle rich second generation, and these rich second generation would also be dismissive of the nerds who only knew how to study all day long.
But this wasn't absolute. There were rich kids who studied hard, and there were poor kids who fought in the underworld. But birds of a feather flock together. Pinliang's lackeys were all from rich families and government officials, just like him.
As a result, to Kang Xiaobo, chasing after Mengyao and Yushu was just an unattainable dream. Tang Yun, the commoner school beauty, was the one they could reach out to.
Lin Yi sighed as he looked at Kang Xiaobo's hopeful smile. The school wasn't as simple as he'd imagined it to be. It was full of interests and conflicts.
"You like her?" Lin Yi smiled.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of! I can guarantee that most of the boys in this school have wet dreams of Tang Yun, "Kang Xiaobo said with certainty." Bro, you'll know when you see her. "
Chase after the commoner school beauty? It was a tempting suggestion, but Lin Yi shook his head in the end. He was a study boy now. How could he leave the Miss behind to find a boyfriend? Even if Pengzhan didn't say anything, Old Lin wouldn't let him go just like that. One shouldn't be too much of a jerk. It was better to keep a low profile.
Plus, the situation wasn't clear yet. He didn't know what Pengzhan was planning. He couldn't be thinking of using his job to steal the Miss, could he? Hmm … Now that he thought about it, it was quite possible … He wasn't related to the Miss at all, so this was the only way he could give her love … What if he went after some commoner school beauty and Pengzhan found out? What if he was fired?
