Chapter 1981 — Spread Through the Whole School

Clearly Zhang Duopan had staked a fortune on this. As for Bai Weituo bringing in Xu Shilan, in He Meiyue's estimation he must have spent at least a million — and even a million might not be enough to secure her.
Though He Meiyue knew that Wei Zhao, from Bai Weituo's dorm, seemed to have plenty of money, she did not want Bai Weituo to owe Wei Zhao too much.
Among her many suitors, He Meiyue was rather more favorably inclined toward Bai Weituo, so if she truly chose him, she naturally did not want him owing so many favors — for He Meiyue was not one who liked to be beholden to others.
"Meiyue, you look rather unhappy. If someone performed an act for me, I'd be thrilled to death — but that Zhao Shengji, all he can do is waddle over and treat me to a meal. He's good for nothing else!" Chai Xiaoling said enviously.
"Ah, I'd rather be like you. Do you really think it's a good thing, having men jealous over you?" He Meiyue shook her head.
As the two were talking, Wang Xinyan pushed open the dorm door and came in. At the sight of her, Chai Xiaoling immediately asked excitedly, "Xinyan, how about it? Your class really did bring in Xu Shilan, didn't they?"
Chai Xiaoling could have called Zhao Shengji, but she and he had not yet made their relationship official, and she was unwilling to appear so forward. Wang Xinyan had just come back, so she asked her instead.
"Huh? You know already?" Wang Xinyan had only just learned the news herself. She had gotten a call from Bai Weituo and gone to Wei Zhao's dorm, but Wei Zhao was not there, so she had followed Wei Zhao's arrangement and practiced a bit of extra work for the performance. Now she had just returned to hear her roommates chattering — these people's news traveled fast indeed!
Of course, Wang Xinyan did not yet know that Bai Weituo had already, in his impatience, posted his declaration of war.
"It's all over the campus BBS — looks like it's true, then?" Chai Xiaoling said, a little excited. "Last time Xu Shilan held a concert in Songshan City, I really regretted not going! But it was right before the college entrance exams — otherwise I'd definitely have gone to see it. This time, Xu Shilan coming to school for the freshman gala is a real opportunity — at last I'll get to see her in person!"
"Yeah, I regretted not going then too, but the exams were right around the corner — who could get leave for it?" He Meiyue said regretfully. "This time it's really put Bai Weituo out... Say, Xinyan, you're close with Wei Zhao. For Xu Shilan to come to the freshman gala this time — was it his doing? How much did he actually spend?"
