First, he drove to end the lease on his previous apartment and moved his essential belongings to the villa. It took him the entire morning to get everything sorted out.

After a shower, Chen Zheng sat on the sofa, getting ready to call Wei Zixuan to ask her out for lunch. But just at that moment, Liu Qianqian sent him a text.

"Brother Chen Zheng, have you had lunch yet?" After sending the message, she added a shy emoji.

"I was just about to go out and find something to eat. What's up?" Chen Zheng replied.

Is she about to ask me to lunch? Sure enough!

Liu Qianqian immediately sent another message. "That's great! My class ended late, and I was worried I'd miss it. How about we have lunch together? I didn't even have a proper late-night snack yesterday. Please give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?"

Chen Zheng couldn't help but chuckle. "Sure. How about you wait at the school, and I'll come pick you up?"

"Yes, please! I'll wait for you at the school gate!"

"Alright! I'll be there in about fifteen minutes!"

"Okay, Brother Chen Zheng, drive safely!"

Putting his phone down, Chen Zheng changed his clothes and left the villa.

Fifteen minutes later, his Lamborghini arrived at the entrance of Yun City University. Chen Zheng immediately spotted Liu Qianqian standing at the school gate.

A campus belle was a campus belle, after all. Even in a crowd, she was impossible to miss.

Today, Liu Qianqian wore a long white dress and seemed to be wearing light makeup. She looked a bit more mature, but this didn't completely conceal her innocent side. This blend of maturity and innocence truly added to her charm.

"You look really beautiful today!" Chen Zheng said with a smile as he pulled up beside her and rolled down the window.

"Thank you, Brother Chen Zheng!" A little shy, Liu Qianqian opened the car door and slid into the passenger seat.

It was her first time in such a luxurious supercar, and she felt a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, it's not that different from a regular car. Just remember to buckle up!" Chen Zheng said with a smile.

"Okay!" Liu Qianqian took a deep breath, her heart calming slightly.

After buckling her seatbelt, she turned to Chen Zheng, her face flushing. "Brother Chen Zheng, is a street food stall okay? I'm still a poor student. I can't afford to treat you to a fancy restaurant!"

Hearing this, Chen Zheng burst into laughter. "Don't overthink it. I'm just a guy from the countryside who happens to have some money now. I grew up eating at street food stalls!"

"Wow! Brother Chen Zheng, your life story could be a TV show! That's so impressive!"

Chen Zheng waved his hand dismissively. "What TV show? Keeping your feet on the ground is what matters."

Then again, the System was the main reason he could live this kind of life. He had been on track for a life of mediocrity—from dreaming big to accepting his own ordinariness, then living just like everyone else, worrying about daily necessities. His entire life up to that point couldn't compare to the excitement of this short period!

"Alright, alright! I was just a little curious, that's all!"

The two chatted idly as they drove away.

They drove away, oblivious to the young man watching them from the entrance of Yun City University. He was gritting his teeth, staring intensely at Chen Zheng's Lamborghini. As the car drove further away, he seemed to make a decision. He quickly walked to the roadside, hailed a cab, and told the driver to follow the Lamborghini.

Chen Zheng and Liu Qianqian arrived at a street food stall named "Tasty." The owner's choice of name was, one could say, very down-to-earth.

"Wow, Brother Chen Zheng, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with this place!" Liu Qianqian said excitedly as soon as he parked the car.

"Of course. I was a student at Yun City University, too. My dorm mates and I came here for a meal almost every weekend." Smiling, Chen Zheng added, "I graduated two years ago, which makes me your senior!"

Liu Qianqian's eyes lit up. "Is that so! Well then, Senior, you'll have to look out for your junior in the future!"

Chen Zheng nodded with a smile. "No problem!"

Chatting away, the two walked into the street food stall.

Just then, the young man also arrived. After getting out of the cab, he didn't go straight in. Instead, he took a seat at an outdoor table where he had a clear view of the inside of the stall.

"Liu Qianqian! I knew it! So you'd turn out like this after all!" the young man muttered, grinding his teeth. "Women are all the same! Not a single decent one, just a bunch of gold-diggers! You only know how to latch onto the rich!"

Chen Zheng and Liu Qianqian were unaware that they were being followed. After ordering their food, they continued their casual conversation.

Street food stalls were known for their quick service, and sure enough, all the dishes they ordered arrived in no time.

Liu Qianqian waved her arm magnanimously. "Brother Chen Zheng! Dig in! Order more if it's not enough, don't be shy!"

Chen Zheng nodded with a smile. "Alright, I won't hold back then!"

With that, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat, while Liu Qianqian didn't move. She simply rested her chin in her hands, smiling as she watched him.

The young man outside saw this, his face contorting with anger. His teeth gnashed audibly, and his eyes blazed with fury.

"You should eat, too. There's no food on my face!" Chen Zheng couldn't help but laugh. "I may think I'm handsome, but it's still a bit embarrassing to be stared at like this!"

Hearing this, Liu Qianqian's face immediately turned red. She quickly picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

As Chen Zheng ate, he casually asked, "By the way, I saw you at Dahong Real Estate the other day. Were you there looking for a job?"

Liu Qianqian nodded. "Yes! I'm an architectural design major, so my career path is in real estate or construction companies. It's almost time for my internship, but I haven't gotten any replies from the résumés I sent out online, so I decided to try my luck by visiting companies in person. I just didn't expect that to happen. If it weren't for you, Brother Chen Zheng, all my documents would have been stolen!"

Chen Zheng waved his hand with a smile. "Don't mention it, it was nothing! Besides, you're treating me to a meal, aren't you? Have you found an internship yet?"

Liu Qianqian pouted. "A few companies have replied, but I want to wait a little longer. I still haven't heard back from Dahong! Although I'd be fine interning anywhere, Dahong is a ten-billion-dollar company, after all. An internship there would definitely be better than at other companies!"

Just as Chen Zheng was about to speak, the System's voice echoed in his mind.
