Chapter 570: The Operation of the Nanhua Jianghu Ranking

Nanhua University campus.
Xu Xin was walking on the campus road with several girls from her dormitory. Each of them was carrying different cooking ingredients, chattering noisily behind Xu Xin.
“Xin!”
“You’ve said it several times—you wanted to take us to Happy’s base. It’s been months now, and you still haven’t done it. Isn’t that a bit much?”
“That’s right. We also said we were good sisters and should share good things together.”
“…”
“I think it’s better to just do it today. I want to take a photo with Happy and post it on my Weibo. Tsk tsk, everyone will be green with envy.”
“If only we had known Chen Kaixin was so great. When he confessed to you, we should have pushed you away… Otherwise, we wouldn’t be in this situation now, feeling pressured just at the thought of seeing him.”
“That’s right. Many foreign magazines say he’s one of the top bosses of the biggest profit-making gang in the Jianghu today, with a monthly income of over 100 million… How come we didn’t see that before…”
“Sigh, stop talking. I regret it so much now. Xin, you really need to hurry up. I heard many girls on campus have rented apartments there, hoping for a romantic encounter with Happy. Don’t let others get there first. If it weren’t for our friendship, we would have taken action already.”
“…”
Listening to their endless chatter, Xu Xin’s face turned red with anger. She huffed and turned her face away. No matter what she explained, they wouldn’t listen. Both sides were just anxious.
As they were about to leave the campus, Xu Xin simply took the cooking ingredients from their hands. “It’s fine if you deliver these here. Go back quickly.”
“Xin, this is really unfair. We’ve come this far, our hands and backs are sore, and you won’t even invite us in for a drink…”
“If I want to drink, I’ll go back and drink with your lackeys.”
Xu Xin shook her ponytail and left the campus confidently, leaving the girls muttering, “No humanity when there’s a man around,” before scattering in laughter.
“Xiaoxin.”
Just as she left the campus, she heard someone calling her from behind.
Xu Xin turned around and saw Xu Yao, a well-known member of the Discipline Committee.
Lately, Xu Yao had been in charge of managing all matters at the Mu family, handling everything with great care and earning everyone’s approval, including Xu Xin.
“Yao Yao? What are you doing here? There are no classes today.”

“Well, there’s a big class, but I don’t have time. There were some things to take care of, so I didn’t go. Lately, there’s been more and more work, and it was too troublesome for my roommates, so I moved out. Where are you going?” Xu Yao stepped forward and sized Xu Xin up; the two beautiful girls immediately caught everyone’s attention.
Xu Xin remained quite innocent, smiling shyly, “I’m bringing some food for Happy.” Not many people at school knew about this yet.
The beautiful girl from the discipline committee showed slight surprise: “How far have things gone between you two?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. That’s just one of our bases. I’m just bringing him some food and leaving. Yao Yao, don’t get the wrong idea,” Xu Xin replied, leaving Xu Yao stunned. She looked at her skeptically and joked, “With such delicious food, he really can’t bring himself to eat it?”
“Yao Yao!”
Xu Xin’s face turned red.
Seeing this, Xu Yao immediately knew Xu Xin was telling the truth. She was slightly puzzled, “That’s strange. Normally, facing a beauty like you every day, he should have taken action by now…”
“He’s not that kind of person.”
As Xu Xin explained softly, the image of meeting Chen Kaixin for the first time, when he handed her an umbrella, flashed through her mind—the boy who was as innocent as she was now. But now, every time she saw Happy, he had grown mature and steady without her even realizing it. She felt the warmth of home and seemed unable to experience those complex emotions anymore. While satisfied, she also felt a sense of loss.
Xu Yao couldn’t help but notice Xu Xin’s expression.
“Xin, if you want something, you have to fight for it. You’re not too late now. The Nanhua Jianghu List now has over four million registered students and exclusive advertising rights worth fifty million. Its potential for growth is huge… I heard there are only a few shareholders so far.” Xu Yao herself was surprised by her own words, not understanding why she brought up such an unrelated topic. But when she saw Xu Xin’s eyes light up slightly, her heart sank.
“Alright, I won’t keep you. Go ahead.”
“Mm.”
Xu Xin nodded and left. After taking a few steps, Xu Yao turned around and stared at Xu Xin’s back for a few seconds, her eyes filled with deep complexity and confusion.
…
“Time to eat.”
As usual, Xu Xin opened the door, put in the groceries, went to the kitchen, prepared the meal skillfully, washed her hands, and typed a message on her phone while murmuring to herself. Soon…

The dishes were served on the table, and at the same time, the bedroom door opened. Kai Xin stepped out, stretching happily with a contented, blissful expression, and asked with a smile, “Xin, what delicious food did you make today?”
“Go brush your teeth first.”
“I brushed them this morning.” Kai Xin wore an innocent expression. “How many times do I need to brush my teeth in a day?”
“Then who told you to lie back in bed? Go, hurry up!” Xu Xin, for once, crossed her arms and stared at her sternly in what she thought was a fierce tone, urging her on.
“Okay, okay.”
Kai Xin helplessly raised her hands and rushed into the bathroom. “I’ll brush…”
A light laugh came from outside the bathroom.
“What’s so funny?” Kai Xin asked indistinctly while brushing her teeth.
“Nothing. Just brush your teeth properly.”
Xu Xin denied it firmly.
“Okay, okay.”
Soon after finishing, Kai Xin eagerly went to the dining room. Xu Xin was already sitting there, waiting for the delicious food, with a hint of unhidden smile and shyness in her eyes.
Smiling, Kai Xin didn’t mention it and sat down, saying, “It seems the Nanhua Internet Ranking has been doing well lately.”
“Mm. When the number of registered members exceeded four million, I discussed it with Lang Lang and the others, and we did some promotion. The authorities also supported us by providing a dedicated channel for promotion. Soon, many companies wanted to place ads on our website, with prices ranging from low to high.” When talking about business, Xu Xin seemed to be influenced by Kai Xin as well, answering very skillfully and fluently.
Kai Xin pondered for a moment before nodding. “For a campus network, it’s best to avoid all kinds of messy ads… I’m just giving a reminder.”
“That’s what we thought too. Moreover, we plan to only allow a few healthy brands to join—sports brands, cosmetics brands, and so on. And for each type of brand, only one will be allowed.” After a pause, Xu Xin said excitedly, “Since we announced it, many big brands have contacted us, hoping to sign contracts. The prices have also gone up significantly. The annual advertising cost is approaching fifty million. Some even want you to act as a spokesperson; they’re willing to raise the price by another two hundred million.”
“Uh…”
Kai Xin was speechless.
