……

The news was broadcast over the school's public address system three times. It sparked a flurry of discussion among students everywhere. Some felt that showing off was definitely a good thing, but at the same time, many students also gave it a positive evaluation: "Damn, awesome!"

Previously, when Wang Yan made such a big splash, the students were all just laughing at him, waiting to see him fail. But later, as the product launched and improved, and the students had a very positive user experience, they began to take Wang Yan's startup seriously. Now, suddenly, there's this bombshell news: five million in funding, a valuation of fifty million. The students are speechless.

The four women, including Gu Li, were equally stunned...

Tang Wanru's mouth dropped open in astonishment: "Did I hear that right? Wang Yan's company is worth fifty million? And he got an investment of five million?"

"Could it be that everyone misheard?" Lin Xiao retorted.

Gu Li crossed her arms in dissatisfaction: "I didn't expect that mentally ill person to actually make it happen. But he doesn't need to be so smug. Valuation isn't real money. He has so many competitors. I don't think he can last long. It's like watching him throw a lavish party and then watching his empire crumble."

Nan Xiang was deeply shocked; the impact on her was immense. She couldn't believe that Wang Yan could have developed to this extent in just over two months.

She thought back carefully, and it seemed like Wang Yan was just bragging to her yesterday. Who would have thought he'd actually done it today...

Lin Xiao exclaimed "Hey!" and then asked, "Gu Li, is Wang Yan worth tens of millions?"

“An angel investment of five million, a valuation of fifty million, that means giving up 10% of the shares. The school may or may not retain a portion. If they don’t, then they will have 90% of the shares, valued at forty-five million.”

Gu Li spoke with a disdainful tone, "But his company is just starting out, its future is uncertain, and it could go bankrupt and be liquidated at any time. Who would buy his shares? Don't mention fifty million, even if it were worth five hundred million, he wouldn't have a single penny. I really don't know who is so blind as to invest in a mentally ill person."

"Look," Tang Wanru suddenly said, pointing to the corner not far away.

The other three women looked over and saw Wang Yan, wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, still wearing those slightly blackened Warrior cloth shoes, strolling over with Lin Quan.

"What a small world! How did those two end up together?" Gu Li said, her voice filled with resentment.

Lin Xiao sighed, "They're like a persistent ghost."

Neither Tang Wanru nor Nan Xiang spoke, but Tang Wanru was excitedly watching the spectacle, as if she feared the world wasn't chaotic enough, while Nan Xiang was a little annoyed by what she saw...

"Oh, I've run into three more beauties." As he approached, Wang Yan greeted them with a smile. "You all heard the announcement, right? Gu Li, what are your thoughts?"

"I just want to see when you go bankrupt and go out of business!"

"Even if your company goes bankrupt, mine won't. It'll only get better and better." Wang Yan grinned and raised an eyebrow at Lin Xiao. "Why are you so hostile towards me? We don't have any grudge against each other, do we? Why are you glaring at me?"

"She's not glaring at you, she's glaring at me," Lin Quan said from the side. "You guys killed my sister, and you all went to college and are living carefree lives. It's so unfair."

"Are you out of your mind? You've been haunting us for so many years!" Gu Li said. "Back then, it was your sister who insisted on liking Jian Xi, but Jian Xi liked Lin Xiao, not your sister. Your sister threatened to jump off a building to force Lin Xiao to break up with Jian Xi. When Lin Xiao refused, your sister jumped off the building. She was crazy and wanted to die. What does that have to do with us?"

"Lin Xiao disagrees? You make that sound so easy. Didn't you say, 'Go ahead and jump if you dare?' Why don't you just go die?"

"Don't worry about what I say, she's the one who's sick. Trying to force someone to commit suicide? Who owes her anything?" Gu Li snorted. "You're mentally unstable too. Who's right just because someone dies? If I told you to die, would you?"

Lin Quan turned to look at Wang Yan: "Now you know why I'm concerned about Gu Yuan being in trouble, right?"

"I'm not really sure either." Wang Yan shook his head with a laugh. "I have to be fair, Gu Li and Lin Xiao are definitely foul-mouthed and awful people. Someone's jumping off a building, and you're yelling at them to jump faster, what kind of good people are you? Your sister has a problem too, and what Gu Li said earlier wasn't wrong either, so let's not judge each other. Wait, who is this Jian Xi? Are there no men left in your school?"

"What does this have to do with you? Who gives you the right to speak up for fairness?" Lin Xiao said in her childish voice, uttering harsh words, "Your company will go bankrupt sooner or later, you'll lose everything!"

"That's right, I'll make you pay to death! I hope you jump off a building too!" Gu Li always glared at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan laughed: "I don't know if I'll jump off the building or not, but I do know that idiot Gu Yuan should be out in a few days. You should talk to him and tell him not to come looking for trouble, or he'll have to go back in. You too, Nan Xiang, talk to your little trash and tell him not to do anything stupid. Oh, what's wrong, Gu Li wants to fight? Come on, let's have a go, see if I can knock your teeth out with one slap."

"Wang Yan, are you even a man?" Lin Xiao didn't give him a friendly look either.

"Exactly!" Tang Wanru chimed in. "If you're so capable, come at me and let's have a fight."

“Then I lose.” Wang Yan ignored her and raised an eyebrow at Lin Xiao. “I’m definitely more manly than that Jian Xi. Let’s have a chat sometime, and you’ll see.”

"Get lost! You filthy scoundrel! I'm calling the police!"

"That's incredibly rude! I was answering your question, and you call me a pervert? Go ahead and call the police. Just have them come find me later."

Wang Yan waved his hand, not looking at them, and sauntered away.

Lin Quan rolled her eyes at Gu Li and Lin Xiao, then glanced at Nan Xiang, flicked her ponytail, and trotted after Wang Yan...

"I don't think it's appropriate for you to say that."

Wang Yan glanced at Lin Quan: "Then tell me what I should say? There are no good people here, no normal people here. Are you normal?"

"I am normal."

"Ah."

I said I'm perfectly normal!

"I believe you." Wang Yan looked at her strangely. "Don't you think your repetition is very abnormal?"

Lin Quan was speechless with anger. After taking a deep breath, he caught up with Wang Yan and said, "Actually, I'm not normal either."

"One minute you're saying you're normal, then you doubt my opinion that you're abnormal, and then you say you're abnormal yourself. Aren't you sick?"

"Say what you will," Lin Quan said. "Do you know what's wrong with me the most? I actually like Jian Xi! Don't you think I'm pathetic?"

"It's good that the sisters are of one mind."

"Isn't that still being cheap?"

“That’s despicable!” Wang Yan nodded in agreement. “But it’s understandable, after all, she’s your own sister. You want to know what kind of charm Jian Xi has that made your sister do such a stupid thing for him. And then, as you watch, you become obsessed. You want to complete what your sister couldn’t. You don’t want to see the people who killed your sister happy; you want them all to be unhappy.”

"Pretty much. I really think I'm a bit mentally ill."

Seeing that Wang Yan didn't even look at him, Lin Quan took the initiative to put his arm around Wang Yan's arm. "But it's not too late now. I should thank you for bringing me back to my senses."

"You're trying to extort money from me. I didn't do anything."

"I don't need you to do anything. Just having you here and watching is enough to bring me to my senses. It's true what they say, comparisons are odious."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "I understand. You were attracted by my excellence and found that Jian Xi is far inferior to me. It's not worth it for you to put so much effort into him."

"It may be a bit shameless of me to praise myself, but it's really true."

Wang Yan pulled his hand out of her embrace and put his arm around her shoulder instead: "Then you'd better think about it carefully. I've never thought about getting married, nor have I ever thought about having only one girlfriend."

"Who knows what the future holds? I just want to cherish the present. And just between you and me, I've never had a boyfriend." "What do you mean?"

"Just what you think."

Wang Yan suddenly seemed innocent: "We've only known each other for a little over two months, isn't this too fast..."

"You really never thought about marriage, never thought about having only one girlfriend?"

"I may want to, but I'm not at that level yet."

"Are you kidding me? What era are we living in?"

"Then let's go. You pay for the hotel. Although I have a net worth of 45 million, I don't have any money of my own."

"You're so annoying, saying all this at a time like I'm after your money. That bitch Gu Li is right about one thing: nobody can predict the future of your company. I'm doing this for you!"

Lin Quan looked up at Wang Yan and said, "You don't think that my being so proactive makes me some kind of cheap woman, do you?"

"Of course not. It's normal for men and women to be attracted to each other. If your behavior is despicable, then how do you define the behavior of the vast number of men who pursue women, showering them with attention and spending a lot of money? Everyone has the right to pursue happiness and the right to choose. So I not only don't look down on you, but I respect you very much."

Wang Yan knew that Lin Quan was just putting on a brave face, and he still needed to comfort her...

"Hey, hey, look! Why are those two hugging?" Tang Wanru shouted, pointing at Wang Yan and Lin Quan's backs.

The three women all looked over at the same time. Gu Li snorted, "What a pair of adulterers. It hasn't been long, and they've already gotten together."

Lin Xiao chimed in, "Neither of them are good people; they're prime examples of scoundrels colluding."

"I think it's alright... After all, Wang Yan is in good health and has the ability now. Even if his business fails, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money and have money..."

Gu Li glanced at her: "Which side are you on?"

"Of course I'm on your side, okay, okay, you two are such a pair of scoundrels!" Tang Wanru said with a grin, completely unconcerned.

"Nanxiang?" Lin Xiao called out.

Nan Xiang, who had been staring blankly at the intimate figures in the distance, turned around and asked, "Huh?"

"What are you spacing out for? You're not really in love with that lunatic, are you?" Gu Li stared straight at Nan Xiang.

Nan Xiang shook her head without thinking: "How could that be? He's simply unreasonable."

After she finished speaking, she noticed Gu Li, Lin Xiao, and Tang Wanru exchanging glances and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No, what other problem could there be?" Tang Wanru laughed. "Anyway, Wang Yan is just awful."

"Let's go eat, I have class this afternoon," Nan Xiang urged.

So the four women, each with their own thoughts, continued walking...

Meanwhile, Wang Yan, having eaten and drunk his fill, naturally followed the extremely nervous Lin Quan to engage in in-depth communication and exchange.

Lin Quan felt dizzy and it was already evening.

Opening her eyes, she saw Wang Yan sitting on the balcony, legs up, smoking. Outside, the sky was ablaze with red clouds, and Wang Yan was enjoying the beautiful scenery.

"You seem quite interested." Lin Quan slowly walked out and sat in Wang Yan's lap.

"Successful in your business, and with a beautiful woman in your arms, this is truly the best of times." Wang Yan patted Lin Quan's bottom. "Go call room service and ask them to bring up some chicken soup for you."

"You can also make chicken soup?"

"It's a family heirloom, so just drink it."

So Lin Quan did as instructed with some skepticism, and then he was so impressed that he almost swallowed his tongue, giving it a huge thumbs up.

"With this skill, you could make a fortune opening a restaurant."

“Running a restaurant by cooking one pot at a time is too slow to make money. Do you think everyone makes pre-prepared dishes?”

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Wang Yan chuckled and said, "All you know is that making money online is quick. I'm making money now, all from venture capital. I make five million in one go."

"That's not yours either."

"I'll pay myself a salary of 10,000 tomorrow, and that'll make the money."

After chatting for a while, Lin Quan said, "You said before that Gu Yuan was coming out, and they would definitely retaliate against you, so you have to be careful."

“I even said they would get their comeuppance.”

"So how exactly do you plan to deal with them? Can you tell me? I've been thinking and thinking, but I still can't figure out what way you can harm them. Oh, besides force."

Wang Yan shook his head: "I said they would suffer retribution, not that I wanted to take revenge on them."

"Are you kidding me? I let you sleep with me, and you're not even telling me the truth?"

"If that's how you calculate it, then it's pointless. What is the truth, and what is a lie? How are truth and falsehood defined? What does it matter whether you let me sleep with you or tell the truth..."

Lin Quan shook his head repeatedly: "Stop, stop, stop, I was wrong, I shouldn't have been so sharp-tongued."

"I really have no choice. I have absolutely no connection with them, and I don't have any leverage over them. Even if I wanted to get revenge, I simply don't have the means..."

Wang Yan sighed, "Now all I can do is deal with their retaliation and I have to defend myself. It's really frustrating..."

"I believe in you, you will definitely succeed."

Lin Quan spoke very seriously.

She wasn't stupid. She had been working with Wang Yan for over two months, and aside from necessary classes and her evening rest time, she had spent all her time working with him.

She witnessed firsthand how Wang Yan operated, how he navigated the forums, how he led the website development and solved various problems, how he coordinated the team, how he handled conflicts, how he motivated everyone, how he persuaded people to work for him for free, how he swindled venture capitalists, and how he connected with other companies...

It was only after witnessing so many things that she realized her past insistence was utterly ridiculous in front of Wang Yan. That's why she took the initiative to confront Wang Yan.

After more than two months of contact, we've become quite familiar with each other and have a thorough understanding of one another. Therefore, our current in-depth communication and exchange is just a natural progression...

Wang Yan smiled and nodded: "Then I'll take your kind words."

As the two were talking, his phone, which he had placed aside, rang. The contact name was Nan Xiang…

 I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the kind readers who have given me generous support through tips, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and those who have been reading quietly!
