Free Web NovelChapter 252: Chapter 203: A Female Celebrity? What Female Celebrity
Not much time had passed, but so much had happened it felt like ages ago.
He knew that Lin Chu had arranged for Teacher Meng to work at the golf club.
He also knew that Lin Chu had long since quit the clubbing scene. He hadn’t even been chasing girls with his usual fanfare for a while, focusing instead on managing the golf club.
As for anything else, he had no idea.
After starting his own small business, he felt like he’d grown distant from Lin Chu’s circle.
But that was fine.
Besides hanging out together every day, being there for each other and helping out when trouble arose was just another way for friends to be.
"Go wild? Of course I’m going wild. Wild enough to take off."
"But in three days, I’m done being wild."
"From now on, when you see me, please call me Classmate Lin. Tsk, makes me feel so much younger."
Lin Chu chuckled, and he and Lu Ming exchanged a smile.
The two of them were the only ones who had signed up. The semester started on the 21st, just three days away.
Both of them were looking forward to it.
"Damn! What the hell are you going to school for? You just want to pick up girls on campus, you animal."
Wang Zhefei flipped him the bird.
Lin Chu immediately flipped one back. "Fuck off! It’s an MBA! I’m going to focus on my studies. I even have the syllabus. Four required courses: Corporate Strategic Management, Corporate Financial Management, Human Resource Management, and Marketing Management. You don’t know shit."
Wang Zhefei: ...Uh.
’He actually seems to know what he’s talking about,’ he suddenly thought.
To be fair, Wang Zhefei had to admit he was a little impressed with the son of a bitch.
It didn’t matter where his buddy’s money came from; his own hard work was also crucial. It was like he had personally watched his "good son" get to where he was today, step by step.
Pretty damn impressive.
"Hey... but to be honest, I’ve found out for sure now. Um, there really is a female celebrity in our class."
Lu Ming suddenly chimed in with a smile.
Hm?
Hearing this, the guys all perked up.
A female celebrity?
A female celebrity... that felt like a whole other level. Even though they had some money now, in their minds, that world still felt distant and unattainable.
Of course, Lin Chu could definitely reach that level now, but there hadn’t been any gossip about him.
It wasn’t that Brother Chu wasn’t interested, but that he hadn’t started moving in those circles yet.
"Who is it?"
Lin Chu asked, his curiosity piqued.
He’d heard him mention it last time, but the details were still fuzzy.
Lu Ming rubbed his nose, lit a cigarette, and said with a mischievous grin, "Li Fangfei. The award-winning actress. A real heavy-hitter."
He was met with a forest of middle fingers.
"Lu Ming, you asshole!"
"Get lost!"
"What the hell!"
"You’re a real bastard, you know that? I just took a sip of coffee and it went up my nose."
"Hey, hey, hey, stop yelling at him. Brother Ming just likes older women in their forties. He’s starved for a mother’s love."
The group roared with laughter, playfully cursing him.
Li Fangfei was indeed an internationally famous star. She’d won Best Actress many times and could be called a titan of the entertainment industry—the kind who had her own studio and shares in film companies.
However, she was at least forty this year. Even on the big screen, she could only play mothers or aunts. Any role that required a youthful feel was completely out of the question.
This was, of course, completely different from the "female celebrity" the guys had been imagining.
Lu Ming, the target of their ridicule, just clutched his head and howled with laughter.
He was just messing with them.
Lin Chu just smiled, not really minding.
In recent years, it had become a trend for celebrities to enroll in MBA programs. They were all planning to transition from being on-screen artists to off-screen bosses.
But were any of them young?
The young ones were all busy filming, releasing songs, doing variety shows, and making public appearances.
How could they possibly spend their prime years getting a degree just to polish their credentials?
Still, the topic stirred something in Lin Chu.
’It really has been a long time since I’ve gone wild.’
’I’ve lost my old carefree swagger.’
Of course, people go through phases. The road is winding, but the future is bright.
The golf club acquisition had been like a snake swallowing a whale, but he had more or less digested it by now.
It was about time he rewarded himself a little.
The MBA program’s curriculum combined theory with practice. The theory part was, of course, in the classroom, while the practical part mostly took the form of study tours or on-site research.
All over the country, from the South Sea to the northern plains.
’I, Lin Chu, can fly anywhere in the country. Airdrop incoming!’
...
HONK HONK HONK!
Just then, a car horn blared from outside.
Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw a brand-new, unlicensed pink Rolls-Royce parked outside.
It was a four-seater sports car. Gao Haitao was in the driver’s seat, and the two back seats were piled high with flowers.
"Ah, my celebratory gift has arrived."
"Let’s go, let’s go receive it."
Lin Chu said with a smile, getting up from the beanbag chair and heading for the door.
"Holy shit!"
"A Rolls-Royce? A Wraith?"
"This car is so damn flashy!"
"The pink one? Isn’t there a limited edition of only four in the whole country?"
Lu Ming exclaimed, looking at Lin Chu in disbelief.
"I ordered the standard model and spent a few hundred thousand more to have the manufacturer repaint it."
Lin Chu glanced at him, shrugged, and spread his hands, speaking with an air of inhumane extravagance.
The group: ...
They all flocked outside, gazing at the car’s artistic lines and its delicate pink color scheme.
Even the young female employees from the shop came out to look, their girlish hearts all aflutter.
’This... this car is a grand opening gift from that customer, "President Lin," for Boss Li?’
’What kind of person is he?!’
’Isn’t this way too extravagant?’
They were all completely stunned.
Li Kai sucked in a sharp breath, looking a bit speechless. "Holy shit. This car is more expensive than my entire shop."
It was true.
The base price for this model was over five million.
