My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 158 - 152: Getting My Advisor Drunk

"Hooked? Don't get me wrong, I'm here to blow up your fish pond."

"What do you mean?"

Huang Tianxuan calmly said, "I have both Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning on WeChat, but I didn't see any of their comments under your post, so I'm guessing it's not public!"

When did you all add each other on WeChat?

Just as Li Peifeng was about to ask this, the answer dawned on him—it must have been while he was giving his lecture and they were chatting underneath.

Moreover, it's not just Wu and Xu—Huang Tianxuan may even have added his mother's contact.

Silence was the Cam tonight!

"Do I need to take a screenshot and send it to them? I think it's quite necessary."

Huang Tianxuan joked, "As a fellow girl, I have the duty to inform them of your scummy behavior—dating them while fishing for others!"

What a vicious woman, I'll remember this vendetta later!

Li Peifeng chuckled, "I didn't block them. I was just casually posting a joke. They probably didn't leave comments or likes because they didn't see it. It doesn't matter if you screenshot it; they wouldn't care."

"Is that so? Then I'll send it."

"Of course, but it's best not to."

"Scared?"

"..."

Li Peifeng remained silent. Huang Tianxuan smiled proudly, "If you want to talk to me in the future, just be direct. No need to post something that only I can see. I'm usually very busy and hardly look at these things."

Rich, beautiful, and feeling good about herself?

Li Peifeng thought to himself, you're almost squeezed out by the other fish in my pond, yet you're still basking?

"Alright, alright, I'll learn my lesson. But since you're so busy, there must be a reason for calling this time, right?"

"The thing is, the pill you gave me—there's really no formula?"

Huang Tianxuan called naturally to inquire more about the pill, but Li Peifeng didn't know either. The system's power is not to be revealed to outsiders, so he had to maneuver and deploy ambiguity.

"Tianxuan, analyze it first. If it can be replicated and mass-produced, we can discuss it further."

"If the pill can't be replicated, we can't discuss it further?"

Li Peifeng hesitated, "We can still talk—what do you want to discuss? I'm open to talking about anything."

"Treat me to dinner tonight," Huang Tianxuan sighed, "Been in the Capital for several days, truly dull. Such a big city, and no one to have dinner with after work."

"Well... I really can't today, have plans. Let's do it another day, have breakfast together next time."

Li Peifeng had to reluctantly decline Huang Tianxuan using the excuse of a gathering with fellow disciples. After ending the voice call, he cunningly deleted his latest post to prevent any issues should Huang Tianxuan decide to screenshot and send it to Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning.

After deleting, Li Peifeng instinctively refreshed his Moments to confirm, only to find the top post was just uploaded by Huang Tianxuan.

A selfie of her flipping the bird, captioned:

"(Crying) The post was flirty, refused the invite, told me to buzz off over the voice chat—cold and cruel!"

The middle finger in the photo was delicate and long, like a green onion—but whom was this gesture meant for?

Li Peifeng chuckled, just about to comment "Set a time, let's wake up and have breakfast together next time," but remembered that Huang Tianxuan also had Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning as WeChat friends.

If Huang Tianxuan's post wasn't set to Where Only He Can See, and he wrote such a comment, it would be disastrous.

So, after a moment of thought, Li Peifeng commented a different line;

"Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou don't believe in tears!"

Quickly, Huang Tianxuan replied, "Buzz off!!"

...

[Please Support Me (4/5)]

Because Li Peifeng deleted that post, naturally, there were no new comments or private messages. He tried chatting with his ex-lovers, hoping to steer the conversation towards something where they might say 'I'll support you,' but to no avail.

After busying away all afternoon, it was now half-past five—the time for the school gathering—but the mission progress was still stalled.

Li Peifeng couldn't worry about this now, so he changed clothes, tidied his hair, and grabbed two bottles of wine he previously bought from the cupboard before heading downstairs to leave.

"The 'Twenty Years' project is nearing completion. This gathering is an early celebration party for everyone."

As per Zhao Qingge's opinion, this gathering was sizable, not just the four from the master-student duo, but included all members of the 'New Century Twenty Years Novel Study' project team—ten people in total.

Li Peifeng estimated Old Zhao's characteristic, with this many people dining, the bill would likely not fall on him and might go through the expenses.

It seemed unorthodox, but that's the reality.

Research funding for science projects typically goes towards buying experimental supplies.

For humanities projects, the funds usually cover artistic visits (travel), investigations (accommodation), academic research (meals)...

Gathering is also part of academic research!

If Zhao Qingge can find a reason to reimburse, he wouldn't let his eldest disciple's pocket take the hit.

But this way, Li Peifeng, the honorary senior brother, thought he'd have to organize a second round, find a bar or a KTV, to host drinks and songs for everyone. Otherwise, it doesn't seem enough, so he specially instructed everyone not to drive, including Zhao Qingge.

"Senior brother, over here!"

At the school gate, Li Peifeng saw Zhao Qingge with two junior sisters and some other students, either waving at him or chatting warmly in private.

"Wow, you brought your own wine? Lafite?" Lin Zhihui teased, "How much did that cost?"

Li Peifeng shook his head and smiled, "This is from Lafite Group, not the Lafite Winery. You can get the genuine product for a couple hundred bucks."

"Still decent, gotta have some."

"Alright, let's set off then!"

The gathering spot Li Peifeng chose was a Chinese restaurant near the school that specializes in Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine, with a cozy ambiance but a bit pricey.

At six o'clock sharp, the six departing from school arrived in the private room, and the remaining five classmates soon trickled in one by one.

Li Peifeng nodded to the waiter, signaling to serve the dishes, then picked up the decanter of red wine and urged;

"Don't be shy, anyone who can drink, put the glass on the carousel, let me pour for you."

"Alright!"

"Haha, let's drink some!"

Among the ten present, with Li Peifeng there were three male students—all definitely drinking, while the other seven females, even if not accustomed to red wine, would sip some beer.

Zhao Qingge not only didn't stop them but also led the charge on red wine.

After all, the project is nearing completion, unlike before, everyone was happy.

But only when the project ends can you see this scene of teachers and students enjoying together, the next such occasion might be graduation.

"Everyone, dig in."

After three or four dishes were served, Zhao Qingge first picked up his chopsticks, gesturing to start, then chatted with the students while eating. The conversations revolved around studies and life...

"Everyone's been with me on this project for a long time, even those who participated for the shortest time did at least a semester."

Zhao Qingge raised his glass, glanced around with a smile, "I've critiqued each one of you, and understand each one as well; some went from loafing to diligent and published project-related papers; some received student research awards, taking concepts and turning them into independent creations, coming up with and realizing their own ideas for the first time."

At this point, Zhao Qingge felt nostalgic, "I've witnessed your growth; some of you have become independent researchers. I hope no matter if you continue studying or find work, you'll maintain this spirit—acting with diligence, cutting and polishing, refining and honing." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"..."

After the sentiment-laden speech, the students were moved, unsure how to respond, when Li Peifeng was the first to dramatically clap and cheer.

"Bravo!"

"Clap clap clap~~"

Li chimed in, "As the saying goes, a fast train depends on the locomotive; we eat and drink well thanks to the leadership of our teacher. Everyone, raise your glass, let's toast to the teacher."

At this moment, Li Peifeng set a clear mini target for this dining event, which was;

To get my boss drunk!
