Chapter 49: The Difficult Problem

  Seeking sponsorship...

  A ringtone woke up Sun Zesheng, who was indulging in the joy of bees collecting nectar. He fumbled for his phone and pressed the green answer button, "Hello, who is it?"

  "Sun Zesheng, hurry back!" Zhang Xinglong's loud voice flew out of the receiver, and his shouting could be heard from a distance.

  Sun Zesheng moved the phone away from his ear, "Boss, what are you yelling about? Is the sky falling or is the earth sinking? Even if it is, aren't you still here? You're the boss, just take charge."

  Zhang Xinglong said, "I'd like to push forward, but they won't let me. Stop talking nonsense and come back quickly, there's a beautiful woman looking for you. Really, I'm not lying, she's even more beautiful than your dream girl Yin Xian'er."

  "Didn't you ask her what her name was?" Sun Zesheng asked in a calm tone.

  "She said her name is Zhang Li. You'd better hurry back, or our dorm will be overcrowded." Zhang Xinglong said exaggeratedly.

  Sun Zesheng hung up the phone, furrowed his brow. If it was Xu Yunjin who came to find him, he wouldn't think it's strange. But why did Zhang Li come? Was Zhang Li also instructed by Xu Yunjin to use a beauty trap on him? Or was yesterday's beauty trap not over yet, and today was just a continuation of yesterday?

  Sun Zesheng pondered Zhang Li's intention while walking calmly towards the dormitory.

  The small garden he was in wasn't very far from the dormitory, but it still took almost ten minutes to walk back.

  Up the stairs, standing at the corridor entrance, turning head towards my dormitory direction and taking a look, I can see several boys standing at the door of my dormitory, shoulder to shoulder, looking inside.

  Sun Zesheng walked to the dormitory door and coughed, "Excuse me, guys, make way."

  Several boys blocking the dormitory door turned their heads together, looking at Sun Zesheng with envy, "Great, you kid, either no girl has ever found you, or it's just this extreme as soon as one does."

  Sun Zesheng smiled and didn't bother to explain anything. University boys are all overflowing with male hormones, and explaining things to them is hard to make their hormone secretion normal, it might even excite their adrenal glands more.

  Sun Zesheng walked into the dormitory, where there were also several boys inside. Except for Zhang Xinglong, they were all classmates from nearby dormitories who had returned to school in advance. They all looked a bit awkward, each dressed neatly, but with a hint of restlessness.

  Zhang Li sat on a stool opposite them, calm and composed, still wearing sunglasses, but the half of her face that was exposed, as well as the temperament she revealed when she raised her hands or moved her feet, were enough to stir up the hearts of Zhang Xinglong and several others of the same age.

  "Zhang Li, how did you come? Do you have something?" Sun Zesheng asked.

  Zhang Li hastily stood up, "I've come this time because I have something to ask for your help. Sun Zesheng, do you have some time?"

  Sun Zesheng nodded and said, "Let's go out and talk about it. It's a bit inconvenient here."

  Zhang Xinglong and others let out dissatisfied whispers, they may say a word to Zhang Li, but secretly give themselves encouragement for half a day. However, being able to stay with such a beautiful woman who can score above 95 like Zhang Li is also good. But Sun Zesheng wants to deprive them of this right, it's really despicable.

  Zhang Li studied performing arts. Even if there were only a few boys watching her, let alone tens of times more, she wouldn't feel any discomfort at all.

  Under broad daylight and within a dormitory, no one would be able to harm her. It's just onlookers, it won't bring any substantial loss to her.

  However, Zhang Li still got up. This time she came to ask Sun Zesheng for a favor, so naturally she had to respect Sun Zesheng's opinion. Moreover, discussing things in the dormitory was somewhat inappropriate, after all, what she and Sun Zesheng were going to discuss might involve money matters.

  Watching Sun Zesheng and Zhang Li leave one after another, Zhang Xinglong and others discussed it in a flurry. They were all unclear about Zhang Li's origin, and even more unclear why Zhang Li came to find the unremarkable Sun Zesheng.

  Good heavens, who's going to tell them the right answer? Their curiosity is enough to kill a cat at this point.

  "Shall we go to a teahouse or just find somewhere to sit for a while? If you don't mind, let's sit in the small garden," said Sun Zesheng.

  "Suit yourself. As long as we can talk business, I'm fine anywhere."

  Zhang Li didn't say anything unnecessary, she wanted to test Sun Zesheng's so-called "gentlemanly demeanor" and see how much of it he really had. She had long been impressed by the calm and nonchalant attitude Sun Zesheng showed when facing her. If it were someone else, who wouldn't take her to a luxurious restaurant, even if they were short on money, they would still try their best to bring her to a high-end place, no matter how much it cost.

  "Then let's go to the small garden."

  Sun Zesheng led the way in front, and soon they arrived at a small garden, where they found a secluded spot. They sat down on the same wooden bench, so close that Zhang Li's faint fragrance kept wafting into his nostrils.

  "What are you looking for me? It can't be about the movie script again, can it?" Sun Zesheng asked.

  "I didn't mean to mislead you, I came this time on my own decision, for my own affairs, and it has nothing to do with Xu Yunjin. Of course, if you're willing to lower the price and sell the movie script to Xu Yunjin because of my visit today, I won't object, and I'll be happy to see it happen."

  "What's it to you? What business is it of yours? Let's get one thing straight, if you're looking for someone to be your temporary boyfriend and take the heat off you, don't look for me. I'm still young and vigorous, and I don't want to get entangled in pointless fights and jealousies. If I accidentally get hit by a blunt object, I'll be the one who loses big time."

  Sun Zesheng made an exaggerated expression, he just wanted to express his meaning more clearly, so as not to be misunderstood by Zhang Li.

  Zhang Li gave Sun Zesheng a glance, "Don't get too worked up, don't say I don't have a boyfriend, even if I do, it's none of your business. There are plenty of people who want to be my boyfriend, they can line up all the way to the Great Wall."

  "Now I can rest assured. Now, what's on your mind? If there's anything I can help with, I'll do my best; if it's beyond my capabilities, all I can say is sorry." Sun Zesheng said.

  Zhang Li told Sun Zesheng about the difficulties she encountered and then said: "Such a rare opportunity, do you think I should seize it?"

  Sun Zesheng nodded, "If I were you, I think I would also work hard to strive for it."

  Zhang Lixi said, "You agree with my decision, that's really great. However, this National Day arts performance has many masters participating, and several universities in Yanjing related to the performing arts circle are also taking part. I need to stand out from so many masters, win the appreciation of those two directors, and then get a role in their films. The difficulty is really too high, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's as difficult as climbing to heaven."
