The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

Money paves the way and everything goes smoothly.

Let alone in 2008, even more than a decade later, the starting salary for fresh graduates in first-tier cities like Donghai was often only four thousand yuan.

And at this point in time...

A trial period salary of six thousand yuan is ridiculously high.

Not to mention the 12,000 after becoming a full-fledged employee.

As for Lin Ran, having already seen Zhao Bingqian's artwork, he understood and recognized the artistic skills of this "beauty of the courtyard."

In addition, we also considered the appeal that the other party could provide for the formation of the art team.

That's why they offered such a price as an incentive.

In fact, the other party was able to agree so readily and decisively.

This actually surprised him a bit.

Because such salary conditions are indeed extremely high for the average college student.

But if she were a beauty of the caliber of a freshman in an art academy, she would have countless suitors, and it would be commonplace for rich second-generation heirs to send her expensive gifts.

—Even someone like Shen Lingshan.

—Rich kids can casually give birthday gifts worth thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

Zhao Dayuanhua's looks and temperament are at least ten times better than Shen Lingshan's.

So logically speaking...

This small amount of money might not have been noticed by the other party otherwise.

But looking at Zhao Bingqian in front of him, who was trying hard to hide her almost shining eyes, he was surprised.

It doesn't seem fake at all.

Ultimately, someone can only attribute it to one reason—

This woman is so easy to fool.

……

A trial period salary of 6,000 yuan can buy the heart of a beauty from the art academy.

Lin Ran was still somewhat surprised by this.

Little did he know that one of the most beautiful girls in the Zhao courtyard was also skeptical of him.

After the initial shock, Zhao Bingqian came to her senses and began to feel that something was wrong.

Looking at Lin Ran in front of her, Zhao Dayuanhua's eyes were filled with distrust:

"Do you have that much money?"

Suddenly I remembered that this guy is a con artist.

They looked to be around my age, probably freshmen or sophomores.

Starting a game company?

Can you just casually hire someone and offer a monthly salary of six thousand?

Upon closer examination, it seemed unreliable.

Lin Ran didn't seem to care. Without needing to explain further, he simply took out his phone and tapped a few buttons.

He opened a text message and showed the phone screen to Zhao Bingqian.

Zhao Bingqian leaned closer, curious and puzzled.

one look.

Upon closer inspection of the text message on my phone screen, I realized it was a bank notification about my account balance.

Three-digit, four-digit, five-digit... six-digit numbers!!

Two hundred thousand!

Zhao Mengquan's eyes suddenly widened, and a series of zeros in her pupils started spinning, almost making her dizzy again.

Lin Ran smiled; "You believe it?"

Zhao Bingqian nodded subconsciously, then looked at Lin Ran from head to toe, scrutinizing him.

"Are you a rich kid?"

Lin Ran chuckled to himself:

"No."

Zhao Bingqian looked at Lin Ran, her expression full of disbelief:

"How can someone with so much money be so rich if they're not a second-generation rich kid..."

Someone casually explained:

"They tricked me into coming here."

How could someone swindle so much money?!

Just as Zhao Bingqian was about to raise her doubts, she suddenly remembered her own experience with someone's ability to deceive, and she began to wonder if she might actually believe it...

I couldn't help but glance at the bank balance on my phone screen again.

Zhao Dayuanhua reluctantly accepted this fact, but was still somewhat dazed and confused, subconsciously muttering:

"Even if you have money, you can't just hire anyone and offer them such a high salary..."

"We're not even that close..."

Then, as if remembering something, Zhao Bingqian suddenly looked up at Lin Ran again:

"Are you trying to chase me?"

Then, looking at Lin Ran, he added seriously:

"I don't date."

This time, Lin Ran was stunned when she heard it.

Then it became a situation that was both funny and sad:

"Don't worry, I don't have those kinds of feelings for you."

"And I have a girlfriend—"

"Prettier than you."

After thinking for a moment, and looking at Zhao Dayuanhua in front of him, he added:

"He's even better at fighting than you."

……

That's the absolute truth.

As he spoke, he subconsciously recalled the scene of being trained by Uncle Zhou at the Su family villa in Coral Garden during the winter vacation.

At that time, it was a practice match with his girlfriend, who was the most beautiful girl in school.

It's really not easy to gain the upper hand.

Take, for example, the "sparring" I just had with Zhao, the beautiful girl in front of me.

The same back grab.

When it comes to him and his school beauty girlfriend...

But their identities often reverse.

I became the unlucky one who got thrown over someone's shoulder...

To put it simply, throughout the entire winter break of sparring matches, he hadn't gained the slightest advantage over Su Tiezhu.

—Oh, that's not right either.

—In another sense.

—But they still managed to get quite a few bargains...

Lin Ran was speaking from the heart.

However, when this reached Zhao Bingqian's ears, she couldn't completely believe it.

Although she didn't care about the titles of so-called college beauty or school beauty, she didn't like to compare herself with other girls.

However, Zhao, the most beautiful girl in the courtyard, still has a clear understanding of her own appearance.

A girlfriend who's prettier than her?

Looking across the entire Dongda University, it wasn't that she was overconfident, but it's really not easy to find someone like her.

—Apart from that Suzhou University beauty who yesterday suppressed the entire new campus like an empress on a tour.

However, Zhao Bingqian didn't intend to delve into the first half of that statement.

On the contrary, it was the other person's last sentence.

But this immediately made Zhao Dayuanhua resentful.

What do you mean by "better than her"?

Nothing else matters.

Her fighting and grappling skills were specially trained by a professional teacher!

Just as I was about to argue, I accidentally strained my muscles and my butt started hurting again...

I instinctively gasped.

A sharp, clear pain was felt.

Lin Ran looked puzzled and asked with concern:

"what happened?"

These words were like adding fuel to the fire.

This made Zhao Dayuanhua even angrier. The more she looked at someone, the more displeased she became. Suddenly, she thought of a way to vent her anger and looked up at Lin Ran:

"I'll work for you."

"I have one more condition."

Lin Ran was taken aback for a moment, then readily nodded:

"you say!"

Then Zhao Bingqian stared intently at Lin Ran and spoke seriously:

"Let me fall too."

Lin Ran: "?"

A question mark popped up above the head of the chibi-style miniature figure in the mind.

What the hell?

What kind of ridiculous conditions are these?

Seeing the other person's stunned expression, Zhao Bingqian, who had made the request, felt even more enlightened and triumphant, and solemnly emphasized again:

"Let me fall."

You dropped me twice—

"I want revenge."

Finally realizing what was happening, Lin Ran was both amused and exasperated.

"Isn't this a bit too frivolous?"

Zhao Bingqian stubbornly shook her head:

"I want this one."

"If you let me fall, I'll take a thousand yuan off my salary!"

—Ms. Zhao Mengquan's obsession with revenge is extremely strong.

But after saying that, he hesitated for a moment and changed his mind:

"Fine, I'll reduce it by five hundred."

—The desire for revenge doesn't seem that strong anymore.

……

Although it seems a bit outrageous.

But in the end, he couldn't resist the persistent request of Zhao, the beautiful woman in the courtyard.

Lin Ran agreed anyway.

It's just a minor setback; in return, you'll become a core member of the future web game art team. It's a worthwhile deal.

Done!

Immediately inside the art classroom, the two of them spread out slightly and took their positions.

They looked at each other from a distance.

Zhao Bingqian nodded slightly to Lin Ran, her expression solemn:

"I am coming!"

Lin Ran was also ready and made a gesture of invitation:

"Come."

Zhao Bingqian took a light breath, but her eyes couldn't help but light up.

Then she moved, gradually quickening her pace as she approached Lin Ran.

Suddenly it accelerated again.

Without hesitation, she bumped into someone's arms.

He skillfully grabbed the other person's arm.

The next step is to turn around, twist your waist, and throw the other person over your shoulder.

But at almost the same moment.

When this figure suddenly crashed into him.

A handsome young man's muscle instincts kicked in unconsciously after half a month of training during winter break.

The brain hasn't even had a chance to think.

The hand movements have already caught up.

He then grabbed the other person's arm with his other hand.

At the same time, he turned and twisted his waist and hips more skillfully and smoothly than his opponent.

Use your strength to fight.

A beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.

Before one of the Zhao family's beauties could react, a sudden dizzying sensation ensued.

He then threw him to the ground with another thud.

Snapped!

A solid, muffled thud.

A faint murmur emanated from the quiet, spacious art classroom.

—Over-the-shoulder throw!

—Triple win achieved!!

Then the air became quiet again.

Zhao Bingqian, who landed on her bottom, was once again stunned by the fall.

Staring blankly at the culprit, his large eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Only at this moment did Lin Ran snap out of his daze and, with a face full of embarrassment, repeatedly apologize:

"My my..."

"Sorry, I hit back unconsciously—"

Why didn't you dodge?
