"If you want to continue opening Yixin Milk Tea, you must first get rid of Li Yiming. How much do you know about Li Yiming, such as his family background and interpersonal relationships?" Yang Chen asked Gu Yixin.
"I only know that he is the propaganda director of the HKUST Student Union. As for the rest..." Gu Yixin shook his head, "I don't know."
"All right."
Yang Chen didn't expect her to say anything useful, so he stood up and said, "Let's go to the University of Science and Technology to take a look first and inquire about his specific situation."
There is a saying in the art of war: if you know the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
If you want to deal with someone, you must first understand the other person's intelligence. The more information you have, the easier it is to catch his weaknesses.
That afternoon, the two came to South China University of Science and Technology.
After some inquiring, they learned a lot about Li Yiming.
Li Yiming is also a famous figure at the University of Science and Technology. It is not difficult to find out information about him.
This person was born in a single-parent family in rural areas of your province and learned to be independent at a very young age. Due to poor financial conditions at home, I almost dropped out of high school. In the end, with the help of the school and the support of my relatives, I was able to complete high school and was successfully admitted to South China University of Science and Technology.
Li Yiming has good academic performance, but he is not a nerd in the traditional sense. He has a very flexible mind.
After entering college, he did not work and study like other poor students. Instead, he used his student loan to purchase a batch of small commodities and went to the city every night to practice stalls, thus earning his first pot of gold.
When he was a sophomore, he used the money he earned to rent a store in the school cafeteria and opened this milk tea shop.
In my junior year, I was successfully elected as the Propaganda Minister of the Student Union.
In the eyes of his classmates, Li Yiming is a model of an outstanding student who is studious, positive, and has both good character and academic performance. He is popular with his classmates and loved by his teachers, and everyone has a very good impression of him.
In addition, Li Yiming's appearance is also very handsome, and there are countless girls in the school who secretly have a crush on him.
"Judging from the information we have learned, this Li Yiming is simply a standard top ten college student. Although he comes from a poor background, he has perseverance. Through his own efforts, he was admitted to a key university, and then relied on his hands to change himself little by little. fate, and finally successfully counterattacked and became the popular male god in the school. His experience could be written into a novel, and there is no point that can be used to discredit him..." Gu Yixin frowned, not knowing where to start. Where to start.
Just him?
The protagonist of a novel?
According to Shuangwen's routine, even if the protagonist does not become the richest man in the country during his college years, he must at least own several listed companies. Li Yiming worked hard for several years to own a milk tea shop, but it was not fun at all, and no one read it after writing it.
Yang Chen curled his lips disdainfully: "No one is perfect. I don't believe there is a perfect person in this world, it's just that he hides it deeper."
"Do you have an idea?" Gu Yixin's eyes lit up and she looked at him expectantly.
"Haha, don't worry, ask him out for a meeting first, and let me meet him personally." Yang Chen smiled slightly, assuming an inscrutable attitude.
"Pretend to be a ghost..."
Gu Yixin muttered quietly, but still called Li Yiming and asked him to meet at a coffee shop near the school.
Not long after, Li Yiming came to the coffee shop.
"Hello, classmate Li Yiming, I am Gu Yixin from Yixin Milk Tea Shop." Gu Yixin introduced him. "This is my boss, Yang Chen."
"Hello, classmate Gu, and hello, Boss Yang." Li Yiming nodded politely to them, and then said, "I wonder if you two have come to see me for anything?"
Yang Chen has been looking at Li Yiming since he entered the door.
Li Yiming is indeed quite handsome, and compared to him, he is only slightly inferior.
However, Yang Chen didn't feel much of a student atmosphere in Li Yiming. He doesn't look like a school student, but more like a social youth who has been in society for a while and is good at human affairs.
Perhaps it was his premature independence that created his current temperament, which was considered mature in the eyes of others, but seemed too smooth in Yang Chen's eyes.
"Don't you know what I want from you?" Gu Yixin sneered and looked at Li Yiming.
"I really don't understand. If Gu Yixin has anything to say, just say it." Li Yiming said.
"Hmph, did you ask people to do these things?"
Gu Yixin saw that Li Yiming was still pretending to be stupid, so he turned on his phone and took out all the forum posts slandering Yixin Milk Tea and the rumors circulating in the circle of friends, and put the evidence in front of him so that he could see clearly.
"Ah, I didn't expect such a thing?" Li Yiming looked surprised, and then put on a puzzled look. "But what does this have to do with me?"
"It seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. I've asked someone to check it out. The person who posted the post on the forum is Tong Shu, and the person who spreads the rumors in the circle of friends is Ningdan. Don't tell me, you are both I don’t know him." Gu Yixin looked at Li Yiming with contempt. It's really shameful to dare to do it but not to take it seriously.
"Tong Shu and Ning Dan are indeed my friends, but I didn't let them do such a thing."
Tong Shu is Li Yiming's roommate, and Ning Dan is his suitor. He simply cannot deny this. I can only curse in my heart, these two guys are really useless, they can't even handle this little thing, don't they know how to wear a vest when they do it?
This kind of thing must never be left to them again in the future.
However, it is precisely because they are stupid enough that they are taken advantage of by him.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't you?" Gu Yixin said angrily. "I don't know them at all. Why would they throw dirty water on me if it wasn't because of your words?"
"Ha, I remembered it. One time I complained in front of them that the recent business was too bad. Maybe it was for this reason that they took it upon themselves to do these things... I will warn them and ask them not to do this again. Done." Li Yiming laughed, stood up and planned to leave: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
When he was talking, Yang Chen used mind-reading skills and saw his inner thoughts: 'So what if you knew it was me who did it, but you have no evidence. Hehe, I have plenty of ways to deal with you. After I ruin your business, I will take over your store and run it myself. The decoration of Yixin Milk Tea Shop is much better than the decoration of my store, which can save a lot of decoration costs..."
Seeing his inner thoughts, Yang Chen couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Perhaps because of his childhood experience, he was too obsessed with money and even unscrupulous.
"Wait a moment."
Yang Chen stopped Li Yiming, looked into his eyes, and said slowly: "Friend, don't you think your methods are too despicable?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Li Yiming's mouth moved and his expression remained calm.
Having experienced social hardship, he has been able to hide his emotions well.
But his inner thoughts could not be hidden from Yang Chen at all: "So what if you do something bad? You kids from rich families who have had no worries about food and clothing since childhood don't know the pain of us poor people. When I was in high school, I swore that I would never do it again in the future. Let yourself suffer poverty, and you must make a lot of money, no matter what means you use!"
Haha, another Wang Wei-type character.
Yang Chen thought of Jiang Xiaoguo's classmate Wang Wei.
The situations of the two people are very similar. They are both born in poverty and are self-centered. They think the world is very unfair to them.
It's just that Li Yiming hid deeper and was smarter and more diligent.
