The Young Billionaire
A Better Plan

"It was John Carlson, Soph" Julianna said firmly. "He's Lonely _ Smoker".

"John Carlson?" Sophie's eyes grew. "Wait, you mean..."

Julianna nodded. "Yes. This morning the guy asked for my number ".

"Damn!" Sophie stood up.

That guy? He was the one who gave Julianna over ten million dollars for Tik Tok?

For her life, Sophie is unable to reconcile John's image with that of a wealthy tycoon. He can't see it. Although he looked rather good when they saw him this morning, John was dressed a bit too clearly to be one of those rich types. Heck, John Carlson is a simp! He was practically the antithesis of a tycoon.

To be honest, when Julianna told him that she had the number Lonely _ Smoker before it aired, some names did come to Sophie's mind. Sophie thinks it's one of those rich guys who constantly tries to get Julianna on a date.

But John Carlson!

King Simps University of Lakeside!

That doesn't even make sense!

Sophie glanced at Julianna carefully. Could Julianna not know who John is? Unlike Sophie, Julianna was not interested in gossip at all. So maybe Julianna doesn't have a single clue about John's reputation as the greatest man in the university?

Sophie shook her head a few times. Not likely. There was no way a simp like John Carlson could afford to casually give ten million dollars on Tik Tok.

"Are you sure it's him, Jules? You can be wrong, you know? "

"Why can't he?" Julianna squinted her eyes at Sophie. "And you sound so sure too". Julianna curled a defiant eyebrow. "Why? Did you know him before? "

"I wouldn't say I know him..." Sophie stole a glance at her friend. "I just heard a few things about him, that's all".

Julianna looked at him silently, clearly waiting for him to continue.

Sophie took a breath. "There's a girl he's trying to chase". Sophie held Julianna's gaze for a moment. "Susan Lane's. That's-her-name. After all, he spent three years trying to win her heart. He would appear in front of his dorm every morning to bring him breakfast. Then he also did a lot of cheap things like arranging candles in front of the dorm, singing for her in front of everyone, buying her all kinds of knick-knacks and stuff. " Sophie grunts. "I'm pretty sure he confesses to her once a month, Jules".

"Then?"

Sophie grinned. "Susan never said yes".

Despite being a big gossip, Sophie has no idea that Susan agreed to date John, only that Susan has asked John to keep their relationship low; which means no social media posts and no public displays of affection.

"But how is that possible?" Surprise filled Julianna's tone. "John is very rich, and he's also quite pleasing to the eye. He's very attractive. How did he end up spending three years chasing after Susan to no avail? "

Indeed, Julianna found John's dating woes very confusing.

Julianna's met Susan Lane before. Although Susan was quite beautiful, her beauty was by no means extraordinary; there were many women in the university who surpassed Susan in terms of beauty and talent.

John Carlson, on the other hand, is simply amazing. To be honest Julianna had never seen anyone who had the financial ability to do what John did before. Never does.

Driving around the city in a luxury car is one thing, but another thing entirely to give ten million dollars casually on Tik Tok.

What puzzled Julianna the most was the fact that she was not even dressed and acted like-is

Julianna's eyes widened as understanding resuscitated her. "It seems I understand now" he said with a smile on Sophie. "He pretended to be poor. That's why he failed when he tried to chase after Susan. " Julianna chuckles. "I'm sure he did it to hide his true status. I heard about this kind of behavior centuries ago. Some wealthy heirs and heirs are obsessed with finding true love. They want their romantic partners to like them for who they are, not for their money. So they hide their wealth and pretend to be poor. " Julianna chuckled again. "If you think about it, it's kind of like the story about the princess and the frog. I'm sure John did the same thing ".

Sophie agreed. Sophie likes to read novels in her spare time, so she has a vivid imagination. Not only could he understand what Julianna was saying, but he also had some of his own points to add.

"I'm sure she was disappointed when Susan treated her like trash, so she decided to stop the whole action" Sophie added, causing Julianna to nod in agreement.

Julianna realized just then how amazing and caring John really was.

He was willing to put aside his own pride for the sake of the woman he loved. She continued to give and give for three years, even though Susan had treated her like trash the entire time.

Despite all the money and status he had, he was still willing to work part-time as a delivery man.

How romantic!

Lakeside University students often think of Julianna as an unattainable woman, a woman beyond their reach.

What they fail to realize is that in the end, Julianna is still a student.

What Julianna really wanted was to date a man who was even more outstanding than her.

And right now, John Carlson is the only man to meet his standards.

Sophie was silent for a moment. "I think he really wants to chase you". Sophie smiled at him convincingly. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent that much money on you. However, you must act quickly. Others may pick it up if you wait too long ".

Julianna nodded solemnly. "I understand!"

Julianna grabbed her phone and typed a text.

"Thank you for your gift, John. You are very generous. But still, it is not suitable for me to take your money without giving you something in return, so I decided to treat you to dinner. How do you sound sixty-thirty tomorrow night? "

Julianna read the message several times before pressing the send button.

John did not expect Julianna to take him to dinner, so he was a little surprised when he received his SMS.

John chuckles to himself. Julianna Zac, one of the prettiest women on her campus, has just invited King Simps to dinner. If someone had told him a few days ago that this would happen, he would have laughed and told them that they smoked something quite tasty.

But this really happened.

Julianna's SMS was pretty clear. Sixty-thirty o'clock tomorrow night.

"That sounds good", type John back in. "It's an honor for me to have dinner with you".

"So it's done, then. See you at the gate on the east side of campus. Don't be late! "

"Aren't you afraid I'll suck you dry?" John was joking. "You don't even know how big my appetite is".

Julianna's reply came almost instantly. "LOLLS. By all means, eat it. My family runs a restaurant anyway, so I'm not worried at all ".

John chuckled at the answer. He never thought he would live to see the day when the illustrious Julianna Zac threw a joke at him.

Obviously, he was wrong about Julianna. On the surface, Julianna seemed polite and courteous; but personally, she was actually a very agile person.

Not to mention talk.

In fact, he was so talkative that John soon found himself failing to follow the text.

By the time he replied to one of his texts, he had sent three more!

Suddenly, his traitorous mind recalled the moment he sent a message to Susan.

The situation was precisely the opposite back then; for every ten or so texts he sent him, he would only reply once. Worst of all, the reply usually came two or three hours after he sent the text.

A tightness formed in John's chest.

He had been fooling himself for three years, thinking that Susan would change her mind about him as long as he worked hard enough.

Time and time again, Susan had shown how wrong she was by humiliating him.

He realized now that unless a man was willing to continue improving himself, women would forever see him as a simp.

"Hey, John! Stop messing around with your phone and join us! " Henderson shouted from across the room. "There are still slots left, and I need good supporting players".

John rolled his eyes. "Give me a break, man. You've been playing that game for seven years, Henderson. You expect me to believe that you need my help? "

"guys... I know I'm good, but I still need a good team-mate to win! Come, John. Help me out here ".

"No. Can't, buddy ". John waved his hand a few times. "Now go. There are many texts to reply to ".

"F*ck you, bro!"

At sixty-thirty the next day, Julianna arrived at the campus gate dressed in a white T-shirt and a pair of white sneakers.

Although Julianna today was twisting her hair simply, she never failed to turn her head; though Julianna had a strong suspicion that her long legs were attracting all the attention. His clothes too, he should. Although simple, her clothes accentuated her beautiful figure and made her look young and agile.

After waiting for ten minutes, Julianna still had not seen any signs of John. The other disciples had long since started their not-so-subtle whispers.

"d, pst! Who's the girl? She's so beautiful! "

"Come, buddy. That's Julianna Zac! He was vice president of the student society and president of the dance club. She is also one of the three most beautiful women in our university ".

"I understand... What the hell is he doing here? I think he's waiting for someone ".
