Chapter 0104: Bleeding

Everyone has a past too painful to look back on, but if you face it and let go of that 'painfulness,' you can gain a bright future. Final victory often lies in persisting just a little longer.

Indeed, effort does not guarantee success, but without effort, you will surely gain nothing.

Zhao Fusheng knew very well that he was not a god. What he had gained from living again, besides those vague memories, was only a soul more mature than his peers.

Moreover, he had a keener sense of smell than others.

He could always find, among the few opportunities, the spark that allowed him to take the initiative.

Store up grain widely, delay proclaiming yourself king.

Zhao Fusheng remembered clearly the advice Li Shanchang gave to Zhu Yuanzhang. He also liked the History of Ming. Although he did not have the ambition of a Son of Heaven guarding the nation's gates, as a man, who didn't long for fame and success, to become known throughout the world one day?

Of course, before that, he had to accumulate enough strength and enjoy his wonderful youth.

This sounded contradictory, but in fact, it was just the beautiful wish of a soul that had achieved nothing by middle age, eager to make up for all regrets and to succeed.

A person who cannot let go of the past will ultimately fail to see the future.

Zhao Fusheng could see the future, so he could choose to let go of some things he shouldn't remember.

…

…

When Dong Chenxi was called out of the dormitory by Wang Zhen, she looked bewildered, and so did her roommates.

Because of what had happened before, everyone was now on good terms. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Zhen's appearance, they didn't think he wasn't a good match for Dong Chenxi.

After all, a man who was willing to believe in her and jump with her from a six-story rooftop under those circumstances was rare. Which girl didn't long for a heroic figure riding on colorful clouds to appear when she was in danger? Although Wang Zhen wasn't handsome, he was a real man.

"Why did you come out? You could have just called." Dong Chenxi glared at Wang Zhen, her face full of concern.

"Hehe, it's nothing. I just came to see you." Wang Zhen smiled honestly.

The female classmates around them immediately looked helpless. Was it really okay for them to show off their love like this?

"Chenxi, you weren't like this before."

"Exactly. Ah, once you're in love, everything changes."

The teasing from her roommates made Dong Chenxi blush instantly.

"Hey, hey, hey, ladies, please don't bully our Chenxi. Later, I'll treat you all to a meal to celebrate her finding a job, okay?" Wang Zhen quickly clasped his hands in a pleading gesture.

"Found a job?"

Everyone was stunned. Since they were seniors, they naturally faced employment issues. The other roommates were busy submitting resumes and attending interviews. Dong Chenxi was no exception. That morning, she had discussed it with Wang Zhen, planning to try her luck in the provincial capital Binzhou. It wasn't that she didn't want to develop in Ninghai, but opportunities here were too slim.

"Wang Zhen, what nonsense are you talking about?" Dong Chenxi frowned. She knew Wang Zhen's family was average, and she certainly didn't want him to waste money trying to please her roommates.

Wang Zhen smiled lightly, pulled Dong Chenxi aside, and whispered a few words in her ear. Dong Chenxi was instantly stunned.

"Really?"

"Really. Would I lie to you?"

The two whispered to each other, while the roommates looked on in surprise.

"Did Chenxi really find a job?"

"Can't be. Wasn't she saying she was going to Binzhou today?"

"Yeah, besides, it can't be that Wang Zhen found it for her. He's only a junior."

"Exactly. Probably just work-study or something."

The girls murmured quietly, but no one took the initiative to ask Dong Chenxi. After all, it was her private matter. Even as friends, if Dong Chenxi didn't bring it up, they wouldn't pry.

"No, you're not joking, are you?" Dong Chenxi's voice gradually rose, clearly not believing Wang Zhen's words.

"Why would I be joking? Do I look like someone who jokes?" Wang Zhen looked helpless.

Dong Chenxi naturally understood that Wang Zhen wouldn't dare lie to her, but she still found it hard to believe what he had just said.

"Chenxi, what's wrong?" Seeing the tension between them, the roommates finally couldn't help asking.

"Don't even mention it. He said he knows someone at Future Advertising, and they've agreed to let me join the creative department as an assistant." Dong Chenxi said helplessly. "When I asked him for details, he wouldn't say, claiming he promised someone."

"Huh?"

"Future Advertising?"

The girls exchanged glances. They weren't stupid. Recently, the name Future Advertising had become well-known throughout the School of Advertising and Media. It had started as a private studio of the beautiful counselor, but unexpectedly, it had landed one big deal after another and was now a legend in Ninghai's advertising circle.

Qin Wentao, a junior class vice monitor, now even the student council president had to show him some respect, all because he held the power to recruit interns for Future Advertising.

The first batch only recruited fifty interns, and now almost everyone in the School of Advertising and Media was desperate to get in.

And now, Wang Zhen claimed he had found an assistant job for Dong Chenxi.

Not just Dong Chenxi, even her roommates thought Wang Zhen might be boasting.

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly, helpless. "It's true. You know, Future Advertising grew from a studio because they landed the Runshengyuan account, and recently they won the production rights for the Brain Gold ad under Zhu Yushi. Their chief designer is a friend of mine. He happened to need an assistant, and it had to be a woman. Qin Wentao didn't have any good candidates. When I went to thank Teacher Zheng for helping get the vice dean involved, I mentioned Chenxi's name. They looked at her information, found no issues, and asked her to come help."

He paused, afraid Dong Chenxi wouldn't believe him, and quickly added, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Teacher Zheng. Besides, they have a lot of requirements. I'm worried you might not make the cut and get rejected."

Strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with this explanation. Zhao Fusheng indeed had many demands: she had to run errands for him, Wang Zhen had to help maintain the wo123 webpage, and they had to keep his identity secret.

But Dong Chenxi saw it differently. Thinking that her boyfriend had gone around begging people for her sake, her heart softened inexplicably.

She stepped forward and gently hugged Wang Zhen. "Thank you."

Feeling the girl's body touch his, Wang Zhen felt as if he were floating. A burning sensation spread through a certain part of his body, and suddenly, he felt like he was soaring to heaven...

Then, a cry came from beside him.

"Wang Zhen, why is your nose bleeding!"
