“Chapter 111: It Won’t Be Long Before China Becomes the World’s Number One! (Part 1/3)

“‘Xiaoli, what did Tang Feng say to you just now?’ Back in the dormitory, sitting on the bed, Ning Xiao asked with interest.

‘He didn’t say much,’ Su Xiaoli’s face turned red.

‘Did he want to spend the night outside with you?’ Ning Xiao guessed.

‘How did you know?’ Su Xiaoli was immediately shocked upon hearing this.

‘Ha-ha! I actually guessed right! Men really are pigs, always thinking about that kind of thing!’ Ning Xiao laughed out loud.

‘Tang Feng is not a pig at all! He probably thought it was too late, and staying overnight at the villa would allow us to sleep a bit longer,’ Su Xiaoli quickly defended Tang Feng.

‘You don’t need to make excuses for him here. But you two have known each other for so many years, and your relationship seems good. I think it’s pretty normal if you really want to live together,’ Ning Xiao said.

‘Xiaoli, no matter what, you can’t let Tang Feng succeed. Men are like this, they do everything to please you before they get you. Once they do, they change immediately,’ Guan Qian reminded her.

‘I think Guan Qian is right! Although Tang Feng is indeed good to you, and we all see it, who knows if he will always be good to you,’ Yu Li added.

Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything.

Although she deeply loved Tang Feng, her roommates’ words also made sense.

If Tang Feng got her and then left, what would she do then?

She dared not think about it.

‘Xiaoli, Tang Feng is now the celebrity of our school! Rest assured, there will definitely be a lot of girls who admire his talents! Some might even take the initiative! Then you’ll know whether Tang Feng truly loves only you,’ Ning Xiao said.

‘You mean there will be a lot of suitors around him?’ Su Xiaoli asked.

‘Of course! If he only had talent in mathematics, then the suitors might not be many. After all, mathematics is boring for most people. But now, he has won first place in the campus singer contest! There will definitely be a lot of suitors. If you don’t believe me, Song Lei is the best example,’ Ning Xiao answered.

Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything.

She had already seen the scene of Song Lei being chased by fans.

Neither in terms of looks nor singing skills is Song Lei comparable to Tang Feng.

It’s obvious that Tang Feng will soon have a large number of fans!

She suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

‘Ning Xiao, stop scaring her here! The scene of Tang Feng singing and embracing Xiaoli after coming down from the stage tonight, many people have seen it! Besides, the song he sang has already shown his attitude. I think even if there are girls who want to pursue him, they would have to think twice,’ Yu Li said.

‘Xiaoli, don’t put too much pressure on yourself, let things take their natural course,’ Guan Qian comforted her.

‘I know,’ Su Xiaoli nodded and said, ‘I believe Tang Feng will handle these things well.’

‘By the way, we start our holiday the day after tomorrow. What are your plans?’ Ning Xiao changed the subject.

‘I plan to spend a few days in the library. It’s a good opportunity to read more about finance,’ Yu Li was the first to answer.

‘I want to go home. But thinking about sitting on the green train for so long gives me a headache,’ Guan Qian frowned.

‘Xiaoli, what about you? Why aren’t you speaking?’ Ning Xiao asked.

‘I’ve made plans with Tang Feng to visit some scenic spots in Beijing during the holiday,’ Su Xiaoli answered.

‘I want to go to the zoo area to shop around. I heard the clothes there are very cheap. Guan Qian, how about we go together?’ Ning Xiao suggested.

‘We’ll see! Mainly because the National Day holiday is too short. If it were the winter vacation, it would be great,’ Guan Qian sighed.

‘It’s getting late, everyone should rest early,’ Yu Li suggested.

Everyone went to the bathroom to wash up, then went to bed.

Tang Feng returned to his dormitory but didn’t go to sleep immediately.

He lay on the bed and opened the system control panel.

He now had 7952 points in his account.

The options for exchange were not many.

He opened the points store and found the musical instruments manual.

The price of the book was 8000 points.

He didn’t have enough points in his account yet.

It seems he would have to wait a few more days.

Once he had enough points, he would exchange them immediately.

This way, he could carry an instrument on stage for his next competition.

After all, the songs he played were all originals. Even if he wanted to find someone to accompany him, it would be difficult to find someone in a short time.

He especially hoped the system would issue new missions.

As long as he completed them, he could receive a substantial points reward.

He tried to communicate with the system, but the system did not respond.

He had no choice but to enter dreamland with a bit of regret.

He hadn’t woken up yet the next morning when his phone rang.

He saw it was a call from Gao Mingzhou.

‘Professor Gao!’ Tang Feng greeted him.

‘Tang Feng, what have you been busy with these days? Why haven’t I seen you?’ Gao Mingzhou asked.

‘Just busy. Do you need me for something?’ Tang Feng asked.

‘Today, a representative from the International Mathematicians Association will deliver your prize money. Come to the math department’s teaching building after breakfast,’ Gao Mingzhou answered.

‘Is it Lawrence again?’ Tang Feng guessed.

‘Yes,’ Gao Mingzhou nodded and said, ‘He probably never dreamed he’d see you again so soon.’

‘He’s not going to try to persuade me to go to America again, is he?’ Tang Feng was somewhat worried.

‘It’s hard to say. But since you already refused him last time, even if he wants to persuade you, he would need to show more sincerity,’ Gao Mingzhou replied.

‘No matter what conditions he offers, I definitely won’t go. China is big enough for me to showcase my talents,’ Tang Feng said decisively.

‘I’m relieved to hear you say that! Tang Feng, rest assured! As long as I can fight for your interests, I will definitely try my best. I believe under your leadership, China’s level of mathematics will surely reach a higher level,’ Gao Mingzhou promised.

‘Thanks in advance. See you later!’

‘See you later!’

The call ended.

‘Boss, what are you planning to do?’ Su Ming asked with interest.

‘I’m going to the department. Professor Gao is looking for me,’ Tang Feng answered.

‘Boss, is there another happy event?’ Zhu Zihang guessed.

‘Indeed, a happy event. The president of the International Mathematicians Association is coming to award me the bounty prize money,’ Tang Feng laughed.

‘Wow! Boss, does that mean you have another million dollars coming in?’ Zhang

Hao sat up suddenly.

‘Yes,’ Tang Feng nodded and said, ‘I’ll treat everyone to a meal.’

‘I won’t eat breakfast today then! I’ll save my stomach for the big meal!’ Su Ming quickly made a decision.”
