Li Zetian’s three roommates were already impatient and kept urging him to hurry up.

Li Zetian specifically changed into a slightly mature-looking black suit.

He worried that his baby face would make girls feel he was still a junior high school student.Full novel: Giant of the Era — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

After changing clothes, Li Zetian looked at himself in the mirror again and again, and then nodded in satisfaction.

“Let’s go!” He turned around and said to his 3 roommates.

Charles Elinor shouted excitedly: “Guys, we’re off!!!

Tonight will be a wonderful sleepless night, haha…”

Li Zetian had never attended any Party, but even if he had never seen a pig run, he had eaten pork.

The trope of college parties frequently appeared in movies.

In fact, just as portrayed in the movies, it was very lively.

Of course, Harvard University is huge, and there were many parties held.

Besides the common dorm-style parties, there were large parties held by fraternities and gentlemen’s clubs at Harvard University, and this type of party generally only allowed members to join, and each member had to pay an expensive annual fee.

This kind of party could rapidly expand one’s network and also provide a public relations venue for men and women to indulge in debauchery and “pa-pa-pa”.

Because today was the special day for freshman enrollment, some fraternities and clubs welcomed all students of the school to enter the party to play.

Li Zetian and the others came to a large party held by a certain fraternity.

The venue was a 3-story white house.

Deafening music could be heard from far away.

Stepping through the main gate, the first floor was a messy living room, and the second and third floors were said to be the bedrooms of the fraternity members.

Only the old wooden floor in the hallway was vibrating and buzzing from the noise coming from underground.

Obviously, the basement was where the fraternity’s party was located.

Along the stairs packed to the brim with people, Li Zetian and the four of them struggled to move towards the basement.

In the air, the foul stench of alcohol, sweat, mixed with the smell of vomit assailed their faces, almost suffocating.

The area of the basement was not too big, but it was crammed with students like a compressed tin can.

Everyone held a bottle of beer in their hands, swaying left and right to the music, or loudly making a ruckus while dead drunk, or blatantly flirting with equally drunk girls beside them.

“Hi, guys, time to start hunting for prey!” Charles Elinor was obviously an experienced driver who had attended many parties.

He smoothly picked up a bottle of beer from the table, and then walked towards a tall, blonde girl wearing a miniskirt and a shirt with a Mickey Mouse print on the chest.

The black guy Carl Jerome and the Canadian Willie Thackeray were not to be outdone.

Their gazes swept around, beginning to search for their own “prey”.

Once found, they immediately launched their hunting actions.

Li Zetian, however, found that he had come to the wrong place.

This kind of party didn’t seem to suit him at all, and he even felt very disgusted!

Li Zetian shouted to Willie Thackeray and Carl Jerome, saying he was going to the first floor to get some fresh air.

However, the music was too loud, and Li Zetian’s voice was obviously drowned out.

The environment on the first floor was much better than the basement.

Li Zetian found a sofa seat near the stairs and sat down.

While drinking beer, he observed his surroundings.

A few minutes passed, and Li Zetian suddenly felt very awkward, because he had sat alone for so long, and not a single girl had come up to strike up a conversation with him!

Li Zetian couldn’t help pouring a large mouthful of beer into his mouth, mocking himself in his heart: “Maybe this frail body of mine, coupled with a baby face, has no attraction to girls at all, even though I have tried very hard to make myself look a bit more mature…”

Li Zetian threw the empty beer bottle into the trash can next to him, then stood up, ready to return to the dorm.

“Ten years studying by the window and no one asks, once you become famous, the whole world knows!

Ten years later, will the people at these parties still remember a skinny Chinese boy sitting here alone drinking beer?

Will they regret not coming up to strike up a conversation with him back then, even if it was just to say one word…”

At this time, noises of an argument came from the second floor.

Then, a girl with a face full of anger ran down the stairs.

Because she ran too fast, she suddenly stumbled and fell just as she was about to finish the stairs.

Li Zetian was standing right next to the stairs.

With quick eyes and swift hands, he immediately reached out his hands and caught the girl.

The girl thought she was going to fall and screamed in fright, but then she found she was safe and sound, lying in a boy’s embrace.

It was a boy who looked too frail to withstand the wind, yet those eyes were as bright as stars, extraordinary, leaving an extremely deep impression on her!

“Thank you!”

On the second floor, a boy with disheveled clothes chased out, hastily shouting at the girl: “Chen Ruoxi, I was wrong…” The girl paid no attention and in the blink of an eye, ran out the main gate.

“Her name is Chen Ruoxi?” Li Zetian’s gaze stared blankly at the other party until she disappeared into the darkness.

From the first moment he saw her, Li Zetian’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

At that moment he knew, this girl was the one he wanted!!!

On the second floor, the boy with disheveled clothes kicked the stairs very angrily, cursed “Shit”, and was subsequently pulled into a room on the second floor by his friends.

At this time, people began to gossip, and some people knew this boy and girl.

Li Zetian halted his steps, standing aside to listen carefully.

“The guy’s name is Wang Lie, the son of the founder of Wang Laboratories.

The girl is named Chen Ruoxi, not exactly clear what her family does.

They are both sophomores at Harvard University, and also a couple.

However, it’s said that Chen Ruoxi is a very traditional woman and must wait until marriage to offer her virginity!

Although the two have been dating since freshman year, I’m afraid Wang Lie has only ever held Chen Ruoxi’s little hand…”

“Having a girlfriend but not being able to sleep with her, what man can endure that?!

If it were me, I would go out and cheat too…” a boy sighed with emotion.

“Wang Lie is just a tragedy, finding a girlfriend like this!”

The boys shook their heads one after another.

The girls, however, had their eyes light up, quite interested in Wang Lie’s identity.

Wang Laboratories was no nobody; on the contrary, its reputation in the 1970s and 80s was very great.

It was a formidable rival to the blue giant IBM, HP, and the American DEC company, especially in the field of word processors, taking the lead and leaving everyone else in the dust!

The personal assets of Wang Lie’s father — An Wang — also once reached as much as 2 billion US dollars, firmly occupying the position of the richest Chinese in the world!

And at that time, Li Ka-shing didn’t have as much money as An Wang!!!

After Li Zetian heard this, he frowned slightly.
