The Evergreen Liquid launch event has recently swept the internet, becoming an international affair, and even reported by CCTV. Everyone in Yuzhou knows about it.

However, people are just joking about it in the group chat. Although such an event is happening in Yuzhou, it feels incredibly distant from them.

None of the classmates present had the luxury of hoping to attend. After all, just thinking about it, it's clear that anyone sitting in the venue must be an important figure.

"Hey, didn't our homeroom teacher say earlier that our school might get a few slots?" Guo Kunnan spoke up.

With that statement, the class group chat suddenly became lively.

Zhang Chi rubbed his hands, "You mean a lottery?"

Shen Qing'e glanced at the group messages, then stopped reading. Guests had come to her uncle's house, and she didn't want to risk her aunt getting displeased by her playing on the phone continuously.

Shen Qing'e maintained proper behavior, but she remembered the discussion about the Evergreen Liquid launch event in the group.

Now, although her perspective had expanded greatly, she could only maintain the level within her sister's family. That kind of event's scale seemed too far-reaching for her.

Shen Qing'e set the matter aside, quietly observing Jiang Ning and others.

Uncle Jiang Qitian didn't get to eat any oranges. He sat on the sofa and patted his nephew's shoulder, "Your dad's company is holding a launch event. Have they told you if there's an invitation?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing'e immediately focused her attention.

She knew Jiang Ning's parents had joined the Evergreen Liquid Company due to good luck, but she wasn't clear on their exact level.

Now hearing them talk about invitations, she found it a bit incredible.

The number of employees at Evergreen Liquid now is immense. Shen Qing'e, using common sense, naturally wouldn't think that any random Evergreen Liquid employee could attend the launch event. They must be among the best.

'Could it be that Jiang Ning's parents...' A ridiculous thought crossed Shen Qing'e's mind.

Before she could contemplate further, she heard Jiang Ning reply, "No, they didn't tell me."

Shen Qing'e's countless fantasies came to an abrupt halt.

She quietly mocked herself, finding it somewhat amusing, 'How could Jiang Ning's parents possibly have the chance to attend the Evergreen Liquid launch event?'

His parents are in a nearby city. How could they run to Yuzhou to attend?

Instantly, Shen Qing'e felt much calmer.

Though Jiang Ning is personally outstanding, his family still falls into the mid-to-upper tier, not exceeding Shen Qing'e's expectations.

Hearing this, Uncle Jiang Qitian was a bit puzzled. He returned to his bedroom, took an envelope from the drawer, and handed it to Jiang Ning:

"Your parents sent this to you, told me to give it to you today."

Jiang Ning tore open the envelope. Then, a luxurious black card with gold embroidery appeared before everyone.

Jiang Junlong was excited, "Whoa, an invitation to the Evergreen Liquid launch event!"

Shen Qing'e followed the voice and saw the invitation, identical to the one released on Weibo.

In that moment, countless fantastical thoughts circled Shen Qing'e's mind, making her dizzy:

'What exactly is his parents' status?'

With a flick of Jiang Ning's finger, another invitation appeared beneath the black card with gold embroidery.

"Two of them?" Jiang Junlong was utterly bewildered.

Shen Qing'e stared blankly at the two invitations, an implausible yet hopeful thought sprang forth:

'Who will he take to watch the launch event?'

...

8th Class Small Group.

This is a small group formed by the boys of Class 8, with no troublesome girls inside, just straightforward buddies.

"I've got a movie date with Shang Caiwei tonight." Liu Chuandao bragged in the group.

Chai Wei thought for a moment, recalling who Shang Caiwei was, then grumbled, "You think she would say yes to you? Keep dreaming?"

Liu Chuandao said, "Hahaha, she didn't want to go at first. But I told her, if she doesn't go, she'll regret missing the evening self-study tomorrow, and she agreed. I was just too domineering at that moment."

Cui Yu: "I was just too domineering."

Meng Gui: "I was just too domineering."

Both copied the reply, making Liu Chuandao quite displeased. He retorted, "You don't believe me, do you? I'll take a picture at the cinema tonight and show you."

Full of confidence, Liu Chuandao, knowing Shang Caiwei well, was sure she wouldn't dare defy him.

Ten minutes later, Liu Chuandao was waiting for Shang Caiwei by the roadside outside, practicing the Lightning Five-Chain Whip like he was having a seizure.

He was solely focused on revenge.

After waiting half an hour and still no sign of Shang Caiwei, Liu Chuandao finally realized something was wrong. He went to ask Shang Caiwei, only to receive no response, like a stone sinking into the sea.

Furious, Liu Chuandao could not believe that timid Shang Caiwei dared to stand him up.

"Hey Boss, are you at the cinema yet?" Cui Yu mentioned him in the group.

"Remember to take photos!" Meng Gui added.

Because Liu Chuandao had been too high-profile earlier, all the guys in the small group knew he had asked Shang Caiwei out for a movie.

Liu Chuandao couldn't just slink home embarrassed. He replied, "I'm almost there."

On his way to the cinema, Liu Chuandao thought he could still salvage the situation. He quickly scrolled through his contacts, hoping to find a girl who could accompany him to the movie and save face.

After searching, Liu Chuandao discovered a new face he hadn't flirted with much before, and immediately made his move.

"Meng Zi Yun, hahaha," Liu Chuandao opened.

Although Meng Zi Yun was a bit of a flirt, often stringing along Cao Kun and actively pursuing Jiang Ning,

she was quite discerning. Liu Chuandao, a loser, didn't even register on her radar: "?"

Liu Chuandao: "I give you likes every day, why don't you like my posts?"

Meng Zi Yun: "I don't like giving likes."

Liu Chuandao was puzzled: "Then why did you like Jiang Ning's post yesterday?"

Having heard similar lines many times, Meng Zi Yun was experienced in handling pests and directly replied:

"I just don't like liking your posts."

Liu Chuandao was a little annoyed, but thick-skinned as ever, he pressed on: "Haha, fiery temperament."

He continued toward the cinema; as long as the girl replied, it meant there was hope:

"Let me ask you, do you often get asked out to watch movies?"

Meng Zi Yun: "Yes, I do."

"Did anyone ask you out today?"

"Yes."

"How many did you turn down?" Liu Chuandao asked.

"Five."

"Haha, you don't want to watch a movie with them?" Liu Chuandao continued.

Meng Zi Yun: "Watching movies with them is pointless."

Reading this, Liu Chuandao's heart skipped, 'Watching movies with them is pointless, does that mean watching with me is interesting?'

Things were looking up; if he succeeded tonight, he could really show off to his buddies!

With this in mind, he quickly launched his attack: "Hahaha, can I ask you out to a movie?"

Meng Zi Yun: "That's six."

...

After having dinner at his uncle's house, Jiang Ning bid farewell and left.

He walked out of the elevator lobby, gazed at the stars in the night sky, and suddenly thought of the scene where Xue Yuantong saw him off.

'Tongtong is probably in my room practicing on the computer, right?'

Jiang Ning thought of using Divine Sense to check, but realized that with his cultivation, he couldn't possibly cover the river dam.

He had to resort to his phone, where several unread messages awaited him. He opened the topmost one, which was just sent by Chen Siyu.

Though he had already teased her earlier today, Jiang Ning felt energized again.

"Jiang Ning, I bought the stuffed pizza you recommended last time, take a look!"

"[Picture]"

Jiang Ning replied: "Cut it open and have a taste."

Chen Siyu asked: "Should I cut it into four pieces, or six?"

Jiang Ning typed: "Of course six pieces, four might not be filling enough, but six definitely will, right?"

This time, the response didn't come as quickly; it took half a minute before a message popped up: "…I'm the sister."

Oh, it turns out it was the sister, Chen Siqing, not the silly girl Chen Siyu.

Jiang Ning: "Sorry about that."

Chen Siqing: "Don't bully my sister next time."

After sending the message, Jiang Ning didn't reply immediately, which made Chen Siqing a bit anxious.

She looked at the message she just sent and felt it might have been a bit harsh, so she hurriedly added another: "You can bully me instead."
