Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Meng Chuan sat intently at the long table in the library, the soft light bathing him.

Ten fingers danced nimbly across the keyboard.

The content of the paper on the computer screen kept increasing.

This was achieved through consulting a large amount of literature and combining it with Jiang Zhenyu's notes.

Meng Chuan's thoughts flowed smoothly, completely immersed in the pleasure of typing.

The sound of keyboards clicking echoed throughout the library.

As time went by, it soon became midnight.

Shanghai University is a haven for geniuses, and its library is open 24 hours a day.

Meng Chuan has quoted extensively from classical texts and has already written more than 20,000 words.

But that's still not enough; Meng Chuan is prepared to work through the night to finish it.

However, just as Meng Chuan was writing the most crucial moment...

A fragrant breeze wafted by, and a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Meng Chuan subconsciously looked up and was met with a breathtakingly beautiful face.

"What a pretty girl!"

Meng Chuan was amazed.

Men always find beautiful things pleasing to the eye.

However, Huo Wanxi and Meng Chuan felt the exact opposite.

Her stunningly beautiful face was now covered in frost.

His eyes were full of impatience and anger.

"Are you done yet?"

Huo Wanxi crossed her arms, her tone so cold it seemed to freeze over:

"I've seen you every time I come to the library since the second day of school. Are you trying to bump into me?"

Huo Wanxi's annoyed questioning left Meng Chuan somewhat bewildered.

"Excuse me, did I bother you?"

Meng Chuan realized what was happening.

Perhaps the sound of my typing was disturbing others' studies.

"You should apologize for typing right next to me. What are you trying to do? There's no need to be so stupid and cliché in trying to get my attention."

The disgust in Huo Wanxi's eyes became increasingly obvious.

Wang Defa? What happened?

Meng Chuan was completely bewildered.

He blinked blankly, puzzled, and asked:

"Excuse me, are you mistaken? I didn't mean to get your attention."

Huo Wanxi is beautiful, but not beautiful enough to make Meng Chuan actively pursue her, right?

Meng Chuan at least has a girlfriend.

Even someone like Alice, Meng Chuan only admired her, and had no intention of actively pursuing her.

Although the classmate in front of him was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, she was not to Meng Chuan's liking.

Because her beauty is more like that of the girl next door.

She has neither Liu Qian's figure nor Shen Yue's allure.

It also lacks Feng Chenchen's stunning legs and Alice's ethereal beauty.

Of course, Huo Wanxi is still young and hasn't fully matured yet.

Meng Chuan didn't know how beautiful she would be in the future.

But at least for now, she's not someone Meng Chuan would go to great lengths to pursue.

Huo Wanxi snorted coldly, her eyes full of disdain:

“You know what you’re doing. I just want to tell you that even if your behavior gets my attention, it will only make me feel disgusted.”

Huo Wanxi's misunderstanding was not without reason.

The semester had just started and we were already facing a two-day weekend.

Huo Wanxi hadn't had a chance to make any friends yet, so she just wanted to spend the weekend quietly in the library.

But on her very first day, she encountered Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan appeared around her frantically.

Moreover, Meng Chuan was frantically flipping through books in front of her.

Yes, it's flipping through a book.

In the past two days, she was unsure how many books Meng Chuan had "read".

But there must be over a thousand copies!

Is he reading a book? No way!

Huo Wanxi originally didn't want to pay attention to this boring game.

Therefore, she deliberately didn't come to the library this afternoon.

I slept in my dorm room for an afternoon.

I was just trying to get enough rest so I could stay up all night and read quietly for a while.

Little did she know, Meng Chuan was "waiting" for her in the library.

And it's quite obvious that Meng Chuan isn't planning to leave tonight.

Even with her good temper, Huo Wanxi couldn't hold back anymore.

"Are you done? If you're done, you can leave. Don't disturb me while I'm writing my thesis."

Meng Chuan was so angry he almost laughed.

But Meng Chuan was too lazy to argue with her.

"Write a thesis? Do you take me for a three-year-old? You clearly don't know anything about the library's book classifications, which means you're a freshman too. Freshmen need to write theses?"

Huo Wanxi ruthlessly exposed Meng Chuan's excuse, coldly saying:

"Even if you insist on writing your paper right next to me, this library is so big, can't you go somewhere else?"

While scolding Meng Chuan, Huo Wanxi glanced at Meng Chuan's computer screen.

She wanted to see if Meng Chuan was really writing a thesis.

"On the Root of the Rise and Fall of Nations Lies in Their Institutions"—this sounds like the title of an academic paper.

However, she didn't believe that Meng Chuan had written such a high-level thesis title, except for the possibility that it was just pretentious.

It was probably copied from some book.

Thinking of this, Huo Wanxi's impression of Meng Chuan worsened.

"Fine, fine, you're pretty, you're right, I'll leave, okay?"

Indeed, women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with!

I don't know which jerk forgot to close the fairy tale book.

They released the princess, who was riddled with "illnesses".

But Meng Chuan really didn't have time to argue with her.

Because we've already looked up almost all the necessary information.

However, to prove such a broad topic, we need to cite too many documents and data.

Meng Chuan might not be able to finish it tonight.

Instead of wasting time arguing with Huo Wanxi here, I'd better go back to my dorm and write.

"Hmph! I've exposed you, can't keep up the act anymore?"

Huo Wanxi looked at Meng Chuan angrily and said:

"Since you've gone to such lengths to get close to me, you should know who I am. Do you dare take off your mask and let me see who you are?"

Huo Wanxi really wanted to know who Meng Chuan was.

Because in addition to being a freshman at Shanghai University this year.

She is also one of the more popular live streamers on the Douyin platform.

Huo Wanxi was born in a small rural village.

From a young age, she not only had a fresh and refined appearance, but also excelled academically.

My family is just poor.

I don't have many friends, and when I'm bored, I like to post selfies on Douyin (TikTok).

Her looks have garnered her many fans on the Douyin platform.

Especially after the college entrance examination, she received an admission letter from Shanghai University.

After she posted her acceptance letter, she quickly became a hit on Douyin (TikTok).

She is beautiful and academically gifted, which brought her a huge amount of attention.

Many fans suggested that she start live streaming.

She was hesitant at first.

However, in order to pay for her tuition, she ultimately chose to do live streaming.

However, she became an instant sensation after her broadcast.

Because photos can be misleading or deceptive.

But you can't fool people with live streams.

Douyin's live streaming is still in its early stages and doesn't yet have many complicated beauty filters.

Huo Wanxi's fresh and refined beauty instantly earned her the title of "National Goddess".

The two-month holiday allowed Huo Wanxi to earn enough for several years of tuition fees.

With a large fan base, she is no longer as submissive as before.

Meng Chuan's behavior made her feel terrible.

Therefore, she really wanted to know who Meng Chuan was.

She was determined to expose this despicable guy.

However, what made Huo Wanxi furious was...

Meng Chuan picked up his laptop, looked her up and down, and said casually:

"Comparing your social status to mine? Are you out of your mind?"

After saying that, Meng Chuan left without looking back.

Huo Wanxi stared blankly at Meng Chuan's back for a few seconds before she came to her senses.

"What did he mean? He...he insulted me!"

Huo Wanxi suddenly felt a little wronged.

I've never seen such a bastard!

He was clearly playing hard to get to her attention.

He was so embarrassed and angry that he cursed at her after he had exposed her.

Huo Wanxi took several deep breaths to calm herself down:

"Forget it, I won't bother with a man like you who has no class, but you'd better not bother me again, or I'll make sure you're completely ruined."
