91: Chapter 91 Flirting with Both Sides

"The social stratum you are exposed to determines the kind of information you receive, and you are then fixed by this information, forming a fundamental cognitive structure."

"A person's cognitive structure determines how you think and act, thus forming a closed loop, where even several generations can remain fixed in the lower class, making it difficult to break free."

"Don't think I'm being alarmist; this cycle of poor remaining poor and rich remaining rich has lasted for thousands of years. Those from humble origins remain humble, and those from noble families remain noble; very few people can cross class boundaries."

"In the Internet age, through the intake of knowledge, this cycle might loosen. Only those who intensely desire to cross social strata have a chance to break the shackles of class and achieve awakening."

Zhang Menglu blinked her big eyes, as if she understood, but also as if she didn't.

Chen Hao continued.

"You are currently showing signs before awakening. If you want to cross social strata, you must achieve a breakthrough in your mind; otherwise, no one can help you."

"Learn slowly."

As she spoke, she took off her clothes and proactively climbed onto Chen Hao.

"You've taught me so many principles; as a reward, I'll take the initiative tonight."

What followed was a long and intense bout of lovemaking between the two.

It must be said that ever since Chen Hao's cultivation reached the Qi Refining Stage, not only was he immune to alcohol, but he was also incredibly vigorous.

Previously, he could last at most half an hour, but this time, it was rare for them to last until dawn.

Zhang Menglu fainted several times during the process, almost falling apart from exhaustion. When it was over, she was limp and weak, likely unable to get out of bed all day.

In contrast, Chen Hao felt no fatigue at all; he was still full of energy and vigor, wanting more.

Zhang Menglu couldn't keep up. Sun Nana was downstairs, and he didn't know if she was awake yet.

The sky was faintly bright, showing a pale white color.

Chen Hao got dressed and quietly slipped out of the room to go downstairs and find Sun Nana.

The way that girl slept was completely askew. Chen Hao took advantage of her deep sleep to take care of her.

...

Morning.

When Sun Nana went to the bathroom to wash up, her legs were trembling. She glared at Chen Hao with annoyance.

"How many times did you take care of me while I was drunk? My whole body aches."

Sun Nana didn't know that Chen Hao had only come up at dawn, thinking he had stayed with her all night.

Chen Hao changed his clothes while changing the subject.

"How did your conversation go yesterday? Did anyone agree to invest?"

"Yes, the Second Generation Rich guys were all eager; they even offered to contribute their family's hotels and other properties."

"You're going to be busy these next few days: renting a place, going to the factory, installing servers. You only have four days; four days from now, you need to have the short drama filming crew set up."

Sun Nana lay in the bathtub, saying while soaking in the hot water, "Working during the day and being taken care of by you at night, I feel like I'm just a beast of burden—no, I'm worse than a beast of burden."

Chen Hao walked to the bathroom door.

"Isn't this what you wanted?"

Sun Nana rubbed her face and said, "What I wanted was to be a beautiful flower at home while you were responsible for earning money to support the family, not being worked like a beast of burden with no rest time."

Chen Hao said again, "If you don't want to do it, you don't have to. I'll ask Zhang Menglu to handle it."

"Forget it. She's too clumsy; I wouldn't feel at ease leaving it to her."

After muttering a few words, Sun Nana stared intently at Chen Hao.

"I feel like Zhang Menglu likes you. Did you notice?"

Chen Hao's heart skipped a beat. His eyes darted around as he said, "Many women like me. Who told me to be so charming and dashing?"

"Hmph, you're insufferable!"

Sun Nana lay back down and added, "But Zhang Menglu's long legs—even I like looking at them, let alone you men. If you can't resist temptation and play around, fine, but you absolutely cannot develop real feelings."

Chen Hao asked again, "You even allow that?"

Sun Nana immediately exploded upon hearing this.

"I tested you and found out! You actually dare to think that?"

Chen Hao rolled his eyes.

"You say one thing but mean another. I'm leaving."

Sun Nana shouted, "Remember, you are ultimately going to marry me! Even if you play around, it's best not to let me know!"

"Got it."

Bang!

Chen Hao only let out a breath of relief after closing the door.

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Before going back, Chen Hao bought some breakfast and then returned to Zhang Menglu's room.

She was still fast asleep. Yesterday's high-intensity exercise in various positions had worn her out considerably; she probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed today.

Chen Hao kissed her forehead. She mumbled sleepily,

"Stop fooling around, let me sleep a little longer."

Chen Hao said, "I left breakfast for you on the table. Remember to eat it when you wake up. I'm heading to class."

...

Today's lecture content was related to live streamers and Internet Celebrities, as Chen Hao planned to utilize them, so he gave advance notice allowing them to audit the class.

When class started, quite a few more Internet Celebrities showed up, filling the aisles of the tiered classroom.

They were all young men and women, fashionably dressed and beautifully made up. Lecturing to them was truly a pleasant sight.

Today's lecture focused on 'tracks,' meaning different categories of bloggers, analyzing in detail the factors behind massive popularity, including how to create buzz and how to retain traffic with a single sentence, and so on.

"To summarize, in new media, you can be beautiful, you can be ugly, you can create conflict, or you can share your life..."

Chen Hao lectured very professionally yet in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, categorizing popular memes and trending topics, ensuring everyone listening felt they gained something.

After class, Chen Hao unusually kept students behind and announced in a serious tone, "To allow everyone to apply what they've learned, we have decided to form a temporary short drama film crew to conduct paid filming."

"The costs for the script, location, equipment, and set design will all be borne by us. You only need to focus on creating to the best of your ability and submit the best possible results."

The entire hall erupted in cheers; every student was very excited.

"Quiet down, I haven't finished speaking. You can form teams yourselves. Each team must submit at least one short drama with a relatively high degree of completion. Outstanding creators can receive a 100,000 Yuan support fund. I hope everyone applies what they've learned and participates enthusiastically."

Anyone who has attended school knows that as long as an activity is organized by the school, even if it's free labor, the enthusiasm of the students will soar for the sake of collective honor.

This time was no exception; the students were quite enthusiastic.

For the sake of convenient management and for him to be able to step away easily, Chen Hao glanced at the registration roster and announced the pre-selected candidates with a deliberate air.

"Wang Lichun, you help me tally the registration status. Class dismissed."

After class, Wang Lichun actively sought out Chen Hao. The two went to the Business School cafeteria to eat and chat.

Wang Lichun didn't understand management and statistics well, so Chen Hao taught her step-by-step how to do it, even marking her as 'Class Monitor' in the student group chat.

"All set. Send me the organized registration form later."

"Thank you for your guidance, CEO Chen."

She smiled and took out a black plastic bag, placing it on the dining table and pushing it toward Chen Hao.

"What is this?"

"This is for you. These are all the bras I've worn these past few days."

Chen Hao first looked around left and right. Seeing no one paying attention, he was about to put the bras away.

Then he changed his mind.

Wang Lichun was the best candidate for gaining special favor points. It was a rare opportunity and couldn't be missed.

"Recently, my focus has been entirely on training, and I still need to invest in filming short dramas, so my capital turnover is a bit tight."

Wang Lichun quickly said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to use the money. It's fine if you don't give it back; I've already gained a lot."

Her favorability hadn't decreased; he needed to push a little harder.

"That's not what I meant. You probably know that CEO Zhuang Hua is hospitalized, tying up tens of millions. I stepped in to help halfway through, so my funds are genuinely tight. I need back the money I gave you previously."
