Chapter 124: Reveling in the Moment

With Shi Qingqing occasionally jumping in from the middle to stir things up.

Red Packet Hero: Wow, Suisui and Bianbian, your red envelopes are huge! There aren’t many who love Master Zhan as truly as you do!

And then, the effect was obvious.

A big red envelope equals true love for Master Zhan?

What Qingming lacked most were wealthy young ladies.

The young ladies heard this and couldn’t stand it! This princess’s love for Master Zhan is the real deal, alright?

Suisui and Bianbian sending ten yuan is hardly true love! This princess sends fifty!

After sending fifty, another wealthy lady saw it.

Fifty is big? My daily allowance is several times that!

Suddenly, the total amount of red envelopes surpassed a hundred, then two hundred, then three hundred yuan.

It then turned into a wealthy contest of generosity, causing the commoners to pause their red envelope sending frenzy.

Shi Qingqing saw this wasn’t good; although the amount increased, the number of times she could grab envelopes decreased, which made her unhappy.

So, she jumped out again and said:

Red Packet Hero: Big or small, all red envelopes show love. The commoner girls also have their spring—if I love Master Zhan, I’ll send a red envelope!

She led by sending fifty cents.

Immediately, the red envelope rain fell again.

Whether rich or poor, tycoons or commoners, anyone with a passionate heart for Master Zhan was unwilling to be outdone.

Shi Qingqing’s hands grew sore from grabbing; with so many people, many missed out.

But Shi Qingqing felt no pressure. Using black-tech to snatch red envelopes, she hit the mark every time, grabbing every envelope regardless of amount.

Unknowingly, she had spent the two hours meant for the calligraphy club comfortably grabbing red envelopes.

Everyone was having a blast.

Few were seriously practicing calligraphy; the entire classroom was caught up in the red envelope scramble.

Laughter echoed far and wide.

Shi Qingqing tallied her haul—over a hundred red envelopes grabbed that afternoon, increasing her personal account by more than thirty yuan, quite a bounty.

Her personal total reached 150 yuan.

If the system hadn’t deducted ninety percent, she would have had more than 1,500 yuan.

Unfortunately, she could only keep ten percent.

The progress bar for grabbing red envelopes was nearly full, likely indicating an impending upgrade.

She looked forward to the upgraded system.

It should yield more and more.

Right now, she was only getting a few dozen yuan a day; soon, it might be hundreds per day—it was all possible.

Just thinking about it made her ecstatic.

At dismissal time, Shi Qingqing received a call from her mother.

She was told to go directly to a famous large restaurant in the West City District after school; a bus could be taken right from the school gate.

Shi Qingqing agreed.

---

It was her grandmother’s birthday banquet, and for her mother’s sake, she should go.

She just didn’t know how to ask Master Zhan for leave.

Should she ask for leave at Jin Di International first, then go?

If Master Zhan refused, not letting her leave, she would miss the occasion.

It took half an hour to get to West City by bus, and if she were late, she’d be scolded.

Could she go to Qingming campus to find him?

Forget it; not being allowed in was one thing, but if people found out she had ties with the school heartthrob, her life would become even harder.

Last time, just shaking hands with Master Zhan caused public outrage.

Wherever she went, the name Shi Qingqing was synonymous with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

She wanted to call Master Zhan, but unfortunately, she didn’t have his number.

At that moment, her broken phone rang.

Shi Qingqing saw it was an unknown number calling.

She answered.

“Hello?”

“I won’t be at the apartment tonight; you don’t need to come.”
