Chen Siyu asks Jiang Ning for help with her studies, while Bai Yuxia overhears and reflects on her own desires. Meanwhile, Lu Qiqi negotiates compensation from Xiao Shaoxiong for the damage done to Zhang Zhaodi's clothes and arm after an incident involving a phone explosion. Xiao Shaoxiong reluctantly agrees to pay and thank Jiang Ning for saving Zhang Zhaodi.

Xiao Shaoxiong felt a bit stifled, but not having to pay one thousand yuan still relaxed him a lot.

He returned to his seat and started calculating his assets. He borrowed money from Dan Xiao, rented a phone from Zhang Chi, and asked his sister for fifteen hundred yuan, so he still had some money on him.

After paying Zhang Zhaodi's medical bills and the phone bills of this period, the remaining money was just enough for him to buy a high cost-performance phone.

Thinking about it made Xiao Shaoxiong chuckle: "Ma Shicheng, that fool, spent 100 yuan on a broken phone. Is he planning to show off with it? Haha."

...

At the back of the classroom.

"Did you hear the news of Yin Yu being defrauded by Yang Sheng, becoming a maid 13 times today?" Zhong Huai's internet speed seemed slower compared to others.

Gong Jin, having been auctioned by Yang Sheng once, admitted the girl was stunningly beautiful, but he tried hard to put aside the beauty and focus on Yang Sheng being too malicious!

It's definitely a case of appearing weak to lure people into a trap.

So his impression of Yang Sheng was not great.

"Yeah, Yang Sheng is not right." Gong Jin glanced at his watch. Ever since his fake electronic watch was exposed by Ma Shicheng, he replaced it with a genuine Rolex onyx watch, but usually claimed it was fake.

Zhong Huai had a different opinion: "I heard Yin Yu was the one who proposed the bet."

Gong Jin shook his head, analyzing the pros and cons: "It boils down to Yang Sheng using psychological tactics, step by step luring Yin Yu into the trap."

At this moment.

Yin Yu gently touched Shen Qing'e, asking her why everyone said 'not to apologize'.

Recently, as a seatmate, Yin Yu had tried to probe Shen Qing'e and found out this girl was extremely meticulous, mainly practicing caution.

In this lifetime, Shen Qing'e had strengthened too much. On one hand, dealing with plastic friends Yu Wen and Lu Qiqi, on the other hand, mastering smooth interactions under other's roofs, finally transforming into the AAA major player.

Shen Qing'e tucked her hair behind her ear, knowing the principle of 'the more you say, the more mistakes': "I actually don't know very well."

Yin Yu's eyes showed a hint of darkness, smiling gracefully as a Qingbei student: "Oh, you must be studying most of the time."

Shen Qing'e's keen ability to observe and interpret was honed, she knew Yin Yu had a sarcastic undertone. Not wanting to offend the other party, she replied: "It should be related to fighting, guys understand more, I can't explain it well."

Yin Yu responded like a daisy: "Mm-hmm, alright."

Finding Shen Qing'e interesting, she proactively invited her to make friends: "Recently, a DQ opened in Yuzhou, wanna hang out after school?"

For some unknown reason, Yin Yu really liked cold stuff; she just adored it.

Before Shen Qing'e could respond, Hu Jun, the class committee member, interjected from behind: "Yin Yu, after school you're on duty to take out the trash."

Yin Yu was surprised: "I'm taking out the trash?"

Hu Jun had a look of 'you're really lucky': "Yeah, it's a good job, today only half has been done, and the trash cans don't have much in them."

Even with Yin Yu's temperament, she was speechless: "…"

She argued: "Shouldn't be my duty today."

Hu Jun explained to her: "Aren't you helping Yang Sheng quit soccer addiction today, and lost 13 duty rounds?"

Yin Yu protested again: "I'm not the only one in debt; why is it my turn so soon?"

Is this targeting her?

In the end, Hu Jun once again looked as if 'you're really lucky': "Yang Sheng didn't want you to owe for long, kindly arranged it to cut the line. It's the VIP repayment channel."

Yin Yu was utterly speechless!

To make it worse, this bizarre Hu Jun had an 'I'm doing you a favor' expression, leaving her speechless, with a wave of anger stifled inside.

Yin Yu didn't want to do duty; she wanted ice cream.

Her expression fluctuated, then returned to her daisy-like state, pulling out her phone to message Gong Jin: "I'm on duty this afternoon, help me out, Gong Jin, you wouldn't want Zhuang Jianhui visiting class 8, right?"

Gong Jin was chatting away with Zhong Huai, deeply expressing his complaint against Yang Sheng and acknowledging Yin Yu.

Gong Jin gave his concluding statement: "So no matter what, I choose to stand by Yin Yu…"

Just then, his phone lit up, he opened it.

What the hell?!

Zhong Huai agreed with his opinion: "Based on what you said, Yang Sheng is extremely foul."

Gong Jin hastily refuted, looking very sad: "No, no, no, I choose to stand on Yin Yu's grave!"

...

Four contiguous seats.

Wang Longlong was influencing the conversation in forums with his alt account: "On Christmas Eve, the selling fireworks little girl asked passersby, please buy my fireworks, but eventually she had no choice, opened Samsung S6, and was blown up on Christmas Night."

Such promotional tales, Wang Longlong wrote many many.

Nowadays forums are still significant in the internet, with strong propagation, as Wang Longlong swayed the discussion, users bravely showcased cases of Samsung S6 explosions.

Someone exploded in a car charger, someone had it heat up and shut down in the pocket, restarting with sparks exploding, causing facial wounds.

Causing quite a stir online.

Wang Longlong muttered: "Brother Ma, damn, those cursing me are increasing."

Ma Shicheng reviewed some memes in Li Yi's Bar, remarked: "Hold on tight, it should be soon."

"Samsung hasn't responded yet." Wang Longlong worried.

Ma Shicheng: "It's normal. Those enterprises are quite arrogant, especially towards our country."

Faced with the overwhelming domestic consumer questions, Samsung watched silently, without making any statements.

Wang Longlong: "Oh, after all, it's a big company; many are not naval forces, but Samsung fanatic fans."

In the eyes of many Chinese, Samsung is an international big brand, a quality representative.

Wang Longlong mused: "The preconceptions people have are like a mountain."

Ma Shicheng stated: "But this mountain is piled up stone by stone."

Wang Longlong chuckled: "Now we're going to dismantle it."

He really enjoyed stirring things up.

Just then, he refreshed the forum, discovering someone reposted an article.

Unexpectedly, it was a statement from Samsung Electronics, generally saying Samsung S6 was fine, they would continue being a beloved enterprise for the Chinese, and such nonsense.

Wang Longlong: "Aren't they coming?"

At this moment, shadows appeared outside the classroom, including Director Yan and class 8's homeroom teacher Shan Qingrong, along with three sharply dressed staff.

Shan Qingrong stood at the door, called: "Ma Shicheng."

Ma Shicheng patted Wang Longlong's shoulder: "I'll be back soon."

After he left, the class buzzed, particularly Lu Qiqi, who could easily tell the staff were quite uncommon.

"What happened to Ma Shicheng?"

Xiao Shaoxiong wasn't concerned: "Probably some insurance sellers or something."

Ma Shicheng walked to the east corridor.

The leading woman, about twenty-seven or eight years old, wore a sharply tailored dark gray suit skirt, with fair skin.

She showed her Samsung badge, speaking quickly with matte red lips: "Sorry to interrupt, Ma Shicheng, I am Vivian Lin, presently a senior manager for Samsung's China district."

"Student, you have significant social responsibility, but I think your life is just beginning."

Ma Shicheng smiled and said: "Of course, I'm still under 18."

Lin Jingwen, a Korean-Chinese, actually held the position of a leader in Samsung's national district crisis response special unit, she caught the subtext: underage, right?

Lin Jingwen: "We are here to help you solve the problem, please hand over the phone for inspection."

"Additionally, headquarters appreciates your actions, invites you to be a Samsung youth experience officer." Lin Jingwen continued.

Upon speaking, the accompanying legal staff took out a new box of Samsung S6edg packaging from their bag.

Ma Shicheng grinned: "What if I almost got hit by an exploding phone?"

Lin Jingwen smiled: "We can provide compensation, also your Samsung phone with combustion condition, like your photos, chat records, and browser history has been backed up in the cloud, risking potential disclosure."

If an average male high schooler heard this, they'd probably panic. Whose browser is spotless?

Ma Shicheng remained calm: "No problem, let it leak; I'm not afraid at all."

Lin Jingwen was momentarily stunned: 'Why does he, as a teenager, not care about privacy at all?'
