Chapter 317: Chapter 132: The Academy’s Variety Show, Su Zelin Is Recommended to Perform

Su Zelin laughed and said, "Haha, you’re all here, that’s perfect." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"What’s going on, class monitor, are you looking for us for something?"

Liu Yanbin asked curiously.

"Actually, it’s nothing major. Last time you treated me to a meal, and it’s only proper to reciprocate, right? So I plan to invite you for a meal. I hope you and your partner will honor me with your presence!"

Su Zelin quickly stated his purpose.

"Class monitor, I think there’s no need to be so formal."

Liu Yanbin scratched his head.

He invited the class monitor because he had helped him before and he owed him a big favor, so he treated him to a meal as a gesture of gratitude.

But he hadn’t helped the class monitor with anything significant, at most he voted for him during the class committee election and rallied the dorm mates, except Pei Wenzhe, to vote for him too.

But even without rallying, others would have likely given their primary vote to Su Zelin. After all, he was already quite popular then.

However, Pan Yun could tell there was more to what Su Zelin was saying.

Having been with Liu Yanbin for about half a year, she had interacted with Su Zelin quite a bit and got to know him a little.

If there was nothing else, he shouldn’t be inviting her and Liu Yanbin for this meal.

And she quickly guessed the reason.

Indeed, a moment later, the slacker gave a dry cough and said, "But if it’s just me and you two, then I’m like a 100-watt bulb, so could Senior Sister call a few companions so I’m not shining alone."

I knew it!

Pan Yun rolled her eyes. When she first met her boyfriend’s class monitor, she thought he was a righteous person and quite talkative, but she quickly realized the slacker’s dark side.

This guy was a bit of a flirt. It was rumored he was also the class women’s association director and spread his charm among all the girls except those with boyfriends.

"Class monitor, if you want me to invite Li Yanru and Tao Min, just say it directly, don’t beat around the bush!"

Pan Yun teased with some annoyance.

These two girls were her roommates; she had brought them along when they were invited last time.

Li Yanru was from Lian Du in Zhejiang Province and was a moderator on the finance college BBS.

Tao Min was a girl from northern Anhui.

"Alright, I’ll be straightforward then. Yes, I mean that, so thank you, Senior Sister Pan."

Su Zelin chuckled.

Pan Yun was stunned. She realized she had underestimated the thickness of this guy’s skin.

Actually, Su Zelin could invite Li Yanru and Tao Min himself. After meeting them through Pan Yun last time, he got their QQ numbers, occasionally chatted online, and interacted quite a bit on the BBS, so he wasn’t unfamiliar with them. He could totally invite them without going through Liu Yanbin and Pan Yun, but he thought it would be better to bring them along.

After all, it’s not certain who would be the third wheel.

In fact, the slacker wasn’t just trying to flirt.

He had a legitimate reason.

Before the opening of New Era, Li Yanru, being a finance college BBS moderator, helped a lot with the promotion.

A soft article he wrote was even pinned by her for a few days.

Generally speaking, such ads aren’t welcomed on college BBS forums.

Even though those soft articles were subtle and minimized commercial elements, they were still advertisements.

Li Yanru showed him a lot of favor, so he had to repay this favor.

"Then that’s pleasantly decided, see you, Senior Sister Pan!"

The slacker made his exit.

Pan Yun then realized and said, "Hey, I haven’t agreed yet..."

...

That evening, Su Zelin met Li Yanru and Tao Min.

Actually, it wasn’t hard for Pan Yun to invite her two roommates because they had a deep impression of Su Zelin and a good one at that, often bringing him up in conversations.

As long as they heard Su Zelin was treating them, they would surely agree happily.

However, Pan Yun felt like she was pushing her roommates into a trap, which made her quite conflicted, but she eventually convinced herself.

Even if Su Zelin didn’t invite them through her, they’d still come if he invited them personally. Letting a smooth talker like the gray wolf hang out with two little lambs would be more dangerous; if she was present, at least the slacker might hold back a bit.

So Pan Yun eventually passed on the message. Unsurprisingly, Li Yanru and Tao Min agreed readily, so they decided to have the meal that same evening.

The venue was again the snack street restaurant where they first met the two girls. After booking early in advance, Su Zelin and Liu Yanbin arrived ten minutes ahead of time.

Before long, the three sophomore girls appeared.

As soon as Li Yanru and Tao Min showed up, the slacker shot to his feet.

"It’s been so long since we parted, and you both look even more radiant, like our college versions of Qiu Shuzhen and Li Zi!"

Su Zelin’s flattery was a bit exaggerated.

Li Yanru and Tao Min did look a bit like the two Hong Kong actresses, but the resemblance wasn’t that strong.

If he flattered them like this on the first meeting, it wouldn’t work.

Others would only feel uncomfortable, even annoyed, and think he’s superficial and insincere.

So on a first meeting, you should use other methods to slowly build a rapport, like praising their hometown’s beautiful scenery or cultural richness.

Or perhaps saying that women from their place are gentle and virtuous.

Anyway, don’t praise her directly, but start from other angles.

Such topics will make them happy and interested without being over the top.

Of course, once you have a foundation of goodwill, you don’t need so many fancy techniques.
