Chapter Eighteen: The King of Pubic Hair

  Life is not always as one wishes it to be, and the difference between mediocrity and greatness often lies in how one responds to adversity. When things do not go as planned, most people will complain about fate, lamenting that heaven is unjust, that the world is unfair, and that others are at fault, never once looking within themselves for the cause. Only wise and successful individuals will stand out at this moment, using their fearless spirit to overcome difficulties and challenges.

  Li Sansheng never complained about his fate. The old man had told him, don't complain about what you don't have, but grasp what you do have.

  Even if for the past twenty years, most of it was struggling in this real society, even without parents, Li Sansheng still managed to survive. As long as he's alive, everything is fine.

  Li Sansheng's life had been dull for nearly a month, but he began to slowly prepare for change after Lin Xue'er helped him get the course schedule and lecture timetable of Jiaotong University that he wanted. Since then, Li Sansheng went to class less often and was rarely seen in the classroom.

  No one pays attention to Li Sansheng, a small role that is destined to be inconspicuous like Li Sansheng will not attract the attention of the proud students of the tourism management class. Most of those who can come to this school are using money to exchange for a university diploma that is dispensable, and after a few years of eating, drinking and having fun, it's all over.

  Li Sansheng started his own two-point life again, between Jiaotong University and his own school. The one-hour commute back and forth every day had already made Li Sansheng slowly numb. He remembered that he used to think that even half an hour's drive was very long, like a century. Since arriving in Xi'an, Li Sansheng had gradually become familiar with the one or two hours of commuting by bus. Compared to when he first came out of Qinling College and had to take a long time to get to the city center, now from Jiaotong University to his own school was just a short distance, but there were only three buses that went to his school, while the mountain was full of schools, and every time the bus was packed with people. The rampant pickpocketing was also numerous, and Li Sansheng could only endure this unbelievable experience in the summer.

  Li Sansheng buys a newspaper every time he takes the bus to pass the time, which is also a habit formed at Qinling College. Before he knows it, half of the journey has passed. The three newspapers Li Sansheng subscribes to are "China Business News", "People's Daily" and "Shaanxi Daily". Although Li Sansheng did not choose finance or business as his major, it has not affected his love for financial and commercial news.

  Li San Sheng often selectively attends Jiaotong University's business administration and financial engineering courses, among others. The business administration major at Jiaotong University is one of the best in the country, rivaling only Tsinghua University. Although Peking University's Guanghua School of Management has a bigger reputation, it ultimately has too much water content.

  "Lao Si, you've been gone all day!" The three guys in the dormitory had already complained about Li Sansheng not getting close to the organization.

  Li Sansheng handled the relationships between the three people in the dormitory as smoothly as a lubricant. Ye Yongsong was an honest and kind-hearted boy who didn't have many tricks up his sleeve or any bad habits. In the dorm, he was diligent and took care of cleaning and hygiene tasks almost single-handedly, never complaining, saying that someone had to be the leader of Dorm 316 after all.

  Qiao Mincheng is a typical Southerner, a Su-style romantic. This is how he labels himself. Qiao Mincheng, who claims to be the epitome of contemporary literary youth, has taken it upon himself to introduce his girlfriend to everyone in the dormitory, a task that will either succeed or die trying.

  Lu Guangzhong is a typical nouveau riche, and Li Sansheng roughly knows from his social circle and small details like phone calls that he comes from a wealthy family in the north, specifically a coal boss. He seems to be one of those who made a fortune overnight. It's likely that not many black coal mines can afford the kind of Apple products this guy has: MacBooks worth tens of thousands of yuan, iPhone 4s, iPads, iPods, and digital cameras, PSPs, and other high-tech gadgets available on the market - he has them all. He doesn't care about money; as long as it's available, he'll buy it.

  This also allowed the other two guys in the dorm to enjoy a good life, as Lu Guangzhong's furniture was basically taken over by these two guys. However, Lu Guangzhong never got angry or showed impatience, which made Li Sansheng think that Lu Guangzhong was a nice guy. To him, these things were just worth a few dollars, and for someone who would generously give the dorm a Fu Rong Wang every week, it wasn't a big deal to be short on money.

  The great 316 dormitory brothers have a clear division of labor, with Lao Da Ye Yangsong in charge of internal affairs, Lu Guangzhong and Qiao Mincheng in charge of external affairs, and Li Sansheng's occasional strong moves that make the guys admire him wholeheartedly.

  Li San Sheng's performance in the dormitory is neither warm nor cold, and he won't steal Lu Guang Zhong's thunder. How to deal with Li San Sheng's well-controlled fire?

  However, Li Sansheng never misses collective activities in the dormitory, such as now four big guys squatting on a bench with bare shoulders and wearing a pair of large underwear, holding a cigarette in their hands to appreciate the great island country's special product - uncensored high-definition bed art war film. This is a rare limited edition copied by Qiao Minceng from a guy nicknamed "King of Porn" in his class.

  Talking about "Mao Pian Xiao Wang Zi" is already a legendary figure in the building where Li San Sheng lives, it can be said that everyone knows him. Most importantly, "Mao Pian Xiao Wang Zi" has a motto, "I have a dream, to save 500G of seeds".

  Countless people were deeply impressed when they learned about the great "Mao Pian Xiao Wang Zi" who was willing to dedicate his life for the sake of island nation culture, oh my dy gaga, 500G of Mao Pian seeds instead of Mao Pian, how ridiculous.

  "What can I do? Anyway, I'm not going to the classroom now. This trick is good, heavy taste, Old Joe suits you." Li San Sheng spat out a mouthful of smoke and said while admiring.

  "In the future, I must find a girl who practices yoga at least and dances" Qiao Mincheng said with a lingering gaze at the powerful movements on the computer.

  "Why?" Ye Yongsong asked in puzzlement.

  "Boss, this way Old Joe will have the chance to realize all his classic moves accumulated over twenty years." Lu Guangzhong threw another cigarette to Li Sansheng, saying with a "you're an outsider, boss" tone.

  "Your sister!" Qiao Mincheng raised his middle finger without hesitation, now the dormitory has learned Li Sansheng's oral fixation and has become a classic and beautiful scenery line in 316 dormitory.

  Lu Guangzhong ignored Qiao Minceng's disdain and continued to watch the big screen, seeing Li Sansheng's calm expression and laughing asked "Old Four, when will you help me get my jacket on Vs competitive and abuse a few masters? Wearing a jacket to abuse others is really damn cool"

  Lu Guangzhong spoke in his non-standard Mandarin, looking at Li Sansheng with a conspiratorial gaze. Lu Guangzhong was originally a World of Warcraft player and was quite skilled at it. One day, he saw Li Sansheng helping Qiao Min complete a game of Dynasty Warriors, and saw how effortlessly Li Sansheng dominated everyone in the game without breaking a sweat. This inspired Lu Guangzhong to start playing Dynasty Warriors as well, but he quickly became obsessed with it. Despite being a beginner, Lu Guangzhong insisted on pretending to be an expert and challenged others to matches at Hao Fang and VS competitions, only to get thoroughly defeated every time. Enraged, he would always ask Li Sansheng to avenge him, but the outcome was always the same: the opposing team of six players would simultaneously type out two words: "has disease".

  But Lu Guangzhong still smiled shamelessly, and Li Sansheng helplessly shook his head every time, too lazy to bother with this guy.

  Actually, Qiao Mincheng spent most of his time playing this game and also participated in team activities. When Li Sansheng came back again, he saw Qiao Mincheng was active, their team encountered a group of high-level players who could be considered professional level, these amateur players were naturally beaten to the point of being helpless. Li Sansheng couldn't bear it anymore, casually said a few words, didn't expect Qiao Mincheng excitedly asked Li Sansheng to try.

  Qiao Mincheng and his team used Shu, while Qiao Mincheng chose Zhuge Liang for the Sino-French showdown, which was more shameless and lewd than Zhuge Liang's usual self. In the Sino-French showdown, Zhuge Liang suppressed Sima Yi with an uninteresting temperament, unable to even get a single kill or assist, leaving him penniless, inexperienced, and without any skills. Qiao Mincheng thought to himself, "Let's see how you play now." Thus, Zhuge Liang began his all-out pursuit, with the two Sunzi starting to appear and disappear on the top and bottom lanes, taking out anyone who fell behind. With their unorthodox positioning, lewd micro-movements, and bizarre techniques, they made the opposing team of six cry out in despair, ultimately forcing them to surrender and curse Qiao Mincheng's shameless and lewd tactics for seeking outside help.

  Li Sansheng's brief moment of brilliance in the game made the three roommates look at him as a god, and from then on, they treated him with fine wine and cigarettes, worshipping him.

  "What reward?" Li Sansheng asked faintly.

  "The dorm's weekly fruit supply, I've taken care of it," said Lu Guangzhong generously. In fact, Li Sansheng was just casually asking, the dorm's fruit and food were all taken care of by Lu Guangzhong and Qiao Mincheng, so Li Sansheng had already gotten used to these two guys.

  Li Sānshēng smiled and nodded in agreement.

  Since Li Sānshēng saved Chen Dēngkē and the three guys Wáng Xiàngqiáng and Sūn Zhìjiān at the National Assembly No. 1, after lying in bed for half a month to recover, the three of them were extremely grateful to Li Sānshēng, as if they wanted to make a peach garden oath with him. In short, Li Sānshēng has now become the lifesaver of these three guys and is considered an iron brother, but this is just their own idea.

  However, Li Sansheng now goes back to Jiaoda every day. Once he arrives at Jiaoda, everything is arranged by these three guys. Naturally, Li Sansheng won't waste the connections of these three rich kids with family backgrounds who might be useful someday. After all, relationships are built one by one through business dealings.

  This afternoon, Li Sansheng will go to Jiaotong University to attend a report on the current hotspots and trends in the art antique investment market. Chen Dengke had already asked about the time and place for Li Sansheng, now these things are basically taken care of by Chen Dengke and his team.

  Another half-hour bus ride, Li Sansheng squeezed onto the crowded bus and headed to Jiaotong University.

  Chen Dengke has been waiting for Li Sansheng at the entrance of Jiaotong University, making excuses to his girlfriend to go shopping while specially coming to wait for Li Sansheng, which also shows that Chen Dengke now thinks Li Sansheng is very important.

  "Chen Dengke, a foolishly wise man," saw Li Sansheng's face filled with joyful smiles as he got off the car and shouted, driving his own BMW to wait quietly in front of Jiaotong University.

  "Old Chen, I've already said it's just me," Li Sansheng said with a smile. In fact, he also understood that the reason why Chen Dengke and others valued him so much was because they had learned about the development of things from people with ulterior motives. After such a big incident, their parents would not be unaware or uninvolved. It's just that in the end, they realized that it was someone they couldn't afford to mess with, so they gave up on the idea of competing with Lei Gang and his people.

  As for Li Sansheng, who was desperately trying to turn the tide, he naturally had to be won over with sincerity, not because of Li himself, but because of the two dragons behind him, or the people behind the two dragons.

  "Foolish wisdom, what are you talking about? I, Chen Dengke, owe my life to you, and this is nothing?" Chen Dengke clearly didn't think so, laughing as he hit Li Sansheng a few times, then opened the car door and pushed him in, driving towards the Academic Exchange Center.

  Finally, Li Sansheng naturally did not let Chen Dengke accompany him together. Not being taken advantage of by others' politeness as a capital for one's own unscrupulousness is the most basic thing to understand when dealing with people.

  The investment report meeting was held at the Academic Exchange Center of Jiaotong University, a tiered large classroom. When Lisan arrived, many people had already come, and the Academic Exchange Center was almost full. Lisan casually sat in a corner.

  The person who made this art investment report is the vice president of Hanhai Auction House, one of the four major auction houses in China. He was invited by Jiaoda to give a macroscopic interpretation of the current hotspots and future trends in China's art investment market.

  Currently, the main authorities in China's art market are the four major auction houses: China Guardian, Hanhai, Huachen and Chengxuan. They have professional technical personnel, authoritative experts and corresponding management systems, so they have their own understanding of the overall trend and hotspots of this market. Therefore, Li Sansheng wants to come and understand the current domestic art and antique market.

  The most important thing is that the old master has many good things in his hands, and the old master told Li San Sheng a long time ago that if he were to pass away one day, all these things would be handed over to Li San Sheng for disposal. Except for an ancient jade left for his future daughter-in-law, everything else was given to Li San Sheng. However, Li San Sheng is not very familiar with this line of work and wants to understand the specifics better.

  Li Sansheng's eyes scanned around and saw a girl who was absolutely the first to move his heart, a familiar face, the elegant beauty with frog mirror and duck tongue hat whom he met on the highway. At that time, Li Sansheng had never had any ups and downs in his heart for the first time, but he thought that the two people were not from the same world, so he didn't have too many thoughts.

  "Is this fate?" Li Sansheng said calmly.
