Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 955 - 459: Your Childhood Friend Is Not Simple
Once a month, Chongchong goes online, and Rong Xianning had already prepared himself for no reply.
Unexpectedly, the other party responded within a minute.
As an idol, Rong Xianning was incredibly flattered.
The main reason was that the other person was so mysterious and extraordinary. Such an individual would only be more impressive in real life and must be very busy, not the kind of person who could spend all day on Weibo as a fan.
Their instant response to his private message was indeed beyond Rong Xianning’s expectation.
——Thank you for the offer, but there’s no need for a meal.
The other party declined him.
Rong Xianning wasn’t too surprised.
——You’ve helped me so much, mere words of thanks cannot express my gratitude. Is there anything you need? I will do my best to fulfill within my capabilities.
This time, it took the other party a bit longer to respond. The message came through after a few minutes.
——Helping you is something I should do as a fan. Perhaps you’ve also helped me in ways you’re unaware of. So, let’s call it even.
Rong Xianning looked at the message they sent, sinking into contemplation.
Their words were too polite.
The help they provided was visible to the naked eye, truly turning the tide of public opinion and saving him much trouble.
What could he possibly offer them?
A pillar of support in a confusing life? A ray of light in a dark world?
This kind of help was too intangible. Clearly, he was the one getting the better end of the deal.
But the other party’s detached attitude suggested they didn’t want too much involvement with him, which didn’t quite match a fan...
Rong Xianning thought for a while and replied—In any case, I sincerely thank you, and if there’s anything you need assistance with, please contact me. I’m always here, wishing you well.
The message showed it had been read, but there was no further response from the other side.
His first private interaction with a fan ended in failure.
Rong Xianning started to doubt himself, thinking maybe he wasn’t that charming as an idol.
Ding Meng kept calling to inquire about the progress. Rong Xianning called and told her not to bother, that Chongchong didn’t even want to have a meal with him, let alone work at the company, which was absolutely impossible.
Ding Meng was quite disappointed, "This is a rare talent. Did you not speak properly?"
Rong Xianning: "..."
"Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now. It’s more important that you return safely. I saw the paparazzi in Australia saying you’ve signed a ten-year contract with the Nine Dragon Association to pay back your debt in installments. Is it true?"
Rong Xianning recalled how Ding Meng had almost sold foreign assets for his debts before, and he felt guilty for hiding the truth, so he told her the real story.
"Are you saying the people from the Nine Dragon Association suddenly changed their attitude? The gambling debt was a misunderstanding? You don’t have to pay a penny?"
Ding Meng’s voice rose by eight pitches, enough to show her shock.
Ding Meng, quick-witted as always, immediately said, "Regardless of the reason, don’t let this news get out. The public will blow it out of proportion. Today they’re sympathizing with your background, and if they hear the Nine Dragon Association changed their attitude towards you, tomorrow they’ll start rumors about some shady deal between you and the association. It’s best to keep your distance from such gangs, and don’t let a word slip in front of your unreliable father, otherwise, he’ll keep leeching off you."
Rong Xianning "hmm"ed, "I understand."
"I’ll buy you a ticket, it’s best if you come back today. Don’t stay there any longer, hurry back."
The Nine Dragon Association is not known for being reasonable. Changing an attitude on a billion-debt just like that sounds very suspicious, and Ding Meng suspected there might be some conspiracy against Rong Xianning, trying to lower his guard before catching him off-guard.
During her investigation, she found that the situation was quite chaotic in Australia, with rampant human trafficking. She feared the gangs there were eyeing Rong Xianning, as they weren’t afraid of public opinion and were capable of anything.
Rong Xianning did not respond immediately but asked a question instead.
"Amos Meifei, are you familiar with him?"
Ding Meng was momentarily stunned. Why did Amos Meifei’s name suddenly come up?
"How could I not know about the famous investment genius? He’s been very active in Hua Country lately, and many investors want to meet him, hoping to benefit from his golden touch. Unfortunately, someone of his calibre is not someone an ordinary person can meet."
"He’s the largest shareholder of Ouri."
Ding Meng was both surprised and unsurprised, "It’s rumored that his investments are globally distributed, and Ouri being one of his assets isn’t surprising."
"He became the largest shareholder of Ouri three years ago, but never made an appearance in those three years. Yet, the day before yesterday, he was on the same flight as me to Australia."
Ding Meng wasn’t foolish and quickly connected the dots from the causes and effects.
"Do you think Amos Meifei helped you?"
"I don’t know. Maybe it’s just a coincidence."
"Then it must be a coincidence. You don’t know Amos Meifei, and he isn’t someone with a lot of free time. Besides, people of that status... wait."
Ding Meng suddenly remembered something, "Did you forget about Sula? She’s actually Amos’s older sister. Isn’t it possible that Shen You’an reached out through Sula’s connections...?"
At this moment, Rong Xianning realized: "It was An’an."
Ding Meng suddenly stood up, excitedly pacing around her office: "It seems like the only possibility. We saw how close she was with Sula last time with our own eyes. If Sula said even a single word, could Amos really refuse his own sister? If that’s the case, then I’m relieved. Your personal safety should be assured."
Ding Meng murmured, "I really underestimated Shen You’an. She’s even more influential than I thought, even having connections with the Mei Fei Family. Your childhood friend isn’t simple."
Rong Xianning lowered his gaze.
He owed An’an even more now.
"If there’s a chance, you should meet Amos. It’s a great opportunity to expand your network. You’re around the same age, and he should give his sister some face. You should know how many businessmen struggle to meet Amos even once. Building this connection would do you nothing but good."
With just one word from them, all the troubles weighing on Rong Xianning were effortlessly resolved. It would be foolish not to seize this opportunity.
"Also, the prototype for Star Youth is Amos. Although there hasn’t been any news from Sula’s side, I think this role is definitely meant for you. Consider it destiny between you and Amos. Give it a shot, you might succeed."
An image of a young man in white clothing flashed across Rong Xianning’s mind.
The next moment, he thought of An’an’s serene and beautiful face.
Does An’an know Amos?
Thinking about this possibility, his heart suddenly tightened.
A strong sense of unease swept over him.
Rong Xianning hurriedly hung up the phone.
He opened WeChat, clicked on Shen You’an’s chat box, hesitated for a long time, typing and deleting sentences, but never sent anything.
At this moment, he saw at the top of the chat box showed the other party was typing.
Rong Xianning was instantly startled, sitting upright immediately.
