Chapter 42 The cornerstone of the edifice of mathematics is rigor.
Presumably afraid that the bespectacled guy would continue to press him, Qi Jiahao, who was trying to act cool, chose to change the subject.
"Where's Li Xingzhi? Didn't he say he'd take us in? Was he just bragging?"
Under the scorching sun, the other students were also getting restless.
Several people joined in the clamor.
"Yeah, not a single person, not even a hair!"
"Is this guy just bragging?"
"That's quite possible. There are so many people queuing up; how could Li Xingzhi possibly have the ability to get us in?"
At that moment, Li Xingzhi happened to appear at the top of the stairs.
He waved to his classmates and then told them to follow him.
None of the students moved.
Qi Jiahao was the first to express his doubts: "You really can take us in? There are forty or fifty of us here."
"Li Xingzhi, you and Zeng Cheng have been disappearing like they've vanished into thin air lately. What have you two been up to? And what are you doing coming out of the arcade?" Xia Ning asked after a moment's thought, guessing as she spoke, "Did you and Zeng Cheng work at the arcade during this time?"
Her guess was agreed upon by her classmates.
"Li Xingzhi, I thought you had some connections. Turns out, you're just working at this arcade with Zeng Cheng?" Qi Jiahao launched into a sarcastic remark, laughing as he spoke. "Hey—not that I'm criticizing you two, but we're about to become university students, the future pillars of our country. How can we be working in a place like an arcade? It's lowering the standards of university students!"
While the other students didn't attack as closely as Qi Jiahao, most of them still showed disdain in their eyes.
That's right. Young people who haven't yet experienced the harsh realities of society are generally arrogant and think they'll definitely become big shots in the future.
Li Xingzhi didn't argue with Qi Jiahao. He waved his hand and said, "Oh dear, it's so sunny. Aren't you all hot? Let's go up first. There's air conditioning inside."
He sneered inwardly.
Waiter?
Ignorant and short-sighted!
I, Guarjia Li, am now the esteemed second-in-command of this arcade!
Everyone was indeed extremely hot, so they followed Li Xingzhi with suspicion, heading towards the stairwell where the security guards had set up a checkpoint.
Then all the students stared wide-eyed.
When the security guards saw Li Xingzhi, they all greeted him respectfully, calling him "Brother Li" repeatedly.
Seeing the dumbfounded classmates, Li Xingzhi's smile was harder to suppress than an AK: "What are you standing there for? Classmates, please come on!"
Although Cheng Ge once said that showing off is a disease, he really doesn't want to get cured now.
It felt so good!
Filled with great doubt, the students entered the arcade.
It felt like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.
First of all, the decoration is very classy, trendy with a futuristic and sci-fi feel.
The layout is also ingenious, making good use of all the space without making people feel crowded.
The machines are mostly new; you can tell they cost a fortune.
The most important thing is that there are many beautiful girls, including quite a few wearing JK uniforms, who are dancing on the dance machine with such captivating charm.
"Brother Li!"
The arcade employees he encountered along the way all greeted Li Xingzhi.
Everyone wasn't stupid; they naturally realized at that moment that Li Xingzhi was definitely not a waiter.
That's where the problem arises.
How could Li Xingzhi, a truly ordinary high school student, be able to hold a high-ranking position in this arcade?
This unscientific!
Xia Ning couldn't contain herself any longer and asked Li Xingzhi what exactly happened.
I had a vague idea that it was related to Zeng Cheng, but I didn't really dare to believe it.
Li Xingzhi chuckled: "Classmates, let me reveal the answer. Actually, the owner of this arcade is—"
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Jiajia interrupted him: "Li Xingzhi, you're not going to say it was you, are you?"
Li Xingzhi was self-aware enough to say, "Mr. Mou, do you think I'm worthy?"
"I don't think you're good enough," Mu Jiajia said, shaking her head as she guessed, "Could it be... that the boss is Zeng Cheng?"
Li Xingzhi chuckled: "Student Mou, not bad, you've even learned to answer first!"
Everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Is Zeng Cheng the owner of this arcade?
In their minds, only very capable adults could run such a large business, not someone like Zeng Cheng, who was the same age.
Qi Jiahao frowned: "Li Xingzhi, you're exaggerating too much... How could Zeng Cheng possibly be the owner of this arcade?"
The other students also looked incredulous and kept expressing their doubts.
So Li Xingzhi casually grabbed a passing arcade employee and asked, "Hey, who's the owner of this arcade?"
The employee was a little confused: "Brother Li, are you kidding me? The boss must be General Manager Zeng Cheng. Brother Li, how could you not recognize your best friend?"
Suddenly it became very quiet.
Despite the bustling arcade, the students were greeted with a grand, quiet solitude.
"It really is Zeng Cheng who owns it?" Mu Jiajia looked at the esteemed second-in-command of the arcade. "Li Xingzhi, how much did Zeng Cheng spend to acquire this arcade?"
Li Xingzhi feigned nonchalance: "Well, not much, just 700,000."
The students: "..."
Seven hundred thousand, and you still want it?
So this is what they mean by "one is influenced by one's company," right? Damn, Li Xingzhi is getting so arrogant now!
At this moment, Niu Gulu Zeng finally appeared.
When Zeng Cheng came out of the office and saw many classmates, he was a little surprised at first. After shaking his head, he walked towards the crowd.
Along the way, all the arcade employees greeted him respectfully: "Hello, boss!"
Many of the girls in JK uniforms also went over to him to get close, calling him "Brother Zeng" repeatedly, making no attempt to hide their courtship signals.
Zeng Cheng is good-looking and has a great physique. He is also young and rich, which makes him their ideal man.
After Zeng Cheng walked over, Mu Jiajia spoke up: "Zeng Cheng, I heard from Li Xingzhi that you spent 700,000 yuan to take over this arcade?"
All the students turned to look at Zeng Cheng.
Although the facts were already laid bare, they still wanted to hear Zeng Cheng admit it himself.
Zeng Cheng frowned immediately: "What 700,000? Don't listen to Zhi Liao's nonsense."
Qi Jiahao instantly revived: "Hey, I knew it! Zeng Cheng, this arcade isn't actually yours, is it? Probably one of your relatives'?"
Li Xingzhi muttered, "Brother Cheng, what nonsense am I spouting?"
Zeng Cheng rolled his eyes at Li Xingzhi: "You're just talking nonsense. I clearly spent 750,000, how come it's 700,000 in your mouth? Even if you round it up, you should say 800,000. Now you know why you couldn't get a perfect score on your college entrance exam math like me, because you lack mathematical thinking—the foundation of the edifice of mathematics is rigor!"
Everyone: "..."
If there were levels to showing off, most people in the class would be stubborn bronze-level players.
Li Xingzhi, who was influenced by his surroundings, was considered a silver-plated person.
Qi Jiahao, who comes from a family with a strong academic background, is able to find gold.
Zeng Cheng is definitely the strongest king.
In the vast Sichuan-F region, there is no one of his age who can rival him.
