Su Bai wasn't intimidated by Fu Fei's gaze. Instead, he met Fu Fei's eyes directly and said bluntly, "I discovered you by chance. I'm very interested in the game you have. I happen to have some money, and I can make my good brother lose everything, so I had Wang Ming contact you."

"As for the conditions you offered," Su Bai picked up his teacup and took a sip. The taste of buckwheat tea, which was neither good nor bad, immediately filled his mouth, making him frown slightly. He silently put the cup down. "I have things I want to do, but I really don't understand games. Even if I get involved, I can't make any correct decisions, so I don't want to bother with that. I just want to make money, lots and lots of money."

Fu Fei saw no deception in Su Bai's eyes and felt slightly relieved. "But how can I believe what you say? You know, no merchant is honest!"

He was just an ordinary college student. If he and a few classmates hadn't developed this game, he wouldn't be attracting the attention of so many wealthy people. But he also knew very well that because the game development had hit a bottleneck, he and his classmates had run out of funds. Seeking funding was the best option, but it was clear that everyone who approached them had ulterior motives.

Given the sudden appearance of Su Bai, who is so unique, it's understandable that Fu Fei would consider things more comprehensively, since this represents two or three years of their hard work.

“I wouldn’t dare say I’m the best choice, but compared to those with ulterior motives, I consider myself quite honest!” Su Bai was determined to win over Fu Fei. “If you’re not comfortable with that, you can write everything I say into the contract terms. If there’s a breach of contract, I can give up my shares.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Fei and Wang Ming stared wide-eyed at Su Bai in disbelief. Did Su Bai know what shocking thing he had said?

"I'm telling the truth!" Su Bai affirmed again. "You can believe me!"

"Aren't you afraid I'll scheme against you?" Fu Fei asked.

Once it's written into the contract terms, he can easily set a trap to make Su Bai hand over all his shares. In that case, Su Bai will lose everything and get nothing at all!

"Can you?" Su Bai asked instead of answering. Fu Fei paused for a moment, then slowly shook his head. "But why do you trust me so much?" He used to believe that there was basic trust between people, but he had met too many people lately, and he was no longer sure if there was any trust between people anymore.

Su Bai smiled and said, "Because I have a cheat code that allows me to tell whether a person is trustworthy!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Fei and Wang Ming looked at Su Bai suspiciously. Could it be that Su Bai had read some bizarre novel before coming here?

Is this really something someone raised in a scientific environment would say?

Su Bai ignored Fu Fei and Wang Ming's questions, smiling mysteriously. He did have a cheat code, but it was so outrageous that few people would believe it.

After all, the idea of ​​being reborn is something that only happens in novels.

In reality...it's simply impossible!

Although Su Bai's words were strange, Fu Fei believed what he saw and thought that Su Bai's choice of such an environment for the meeting was intentional. Lately, the people he'd met had been to upscale coffee shops or five-star hotels, but he was just an ordinary person. There was a huge gap between him and wealthy people; places they took for granted felt completely out of place to him. That's why he wanted to test Su Bai.

Putting himself in Su Bai's shoes, he felt out of place even in such a high-class environment, and he expected Su Bai to feel the same way. However, Su Bai did not show any disgust, and even seemed to have a sense of harmony that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

“Young Master Su, I accept your investment.” Fu Fei wasn’t one to hesitate. Now that he had made a decision, he wanted to finalize things as soon as possible. “I’ve brought the contract with me. If you see no problems, just sign it!” Fu Fei took out two documents from his backpack, and then took out a pen and inkpad from his bag.

Su Bai was slightly taken aback when he saw what was handed to him, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have even prepared a contract."

Fu Fei scratched the back of his head and chuckled. Actually, he had been tempted after Wang Ming relayed Su Mo's message, because he and his companions were really struggling and desperately needed investment. The reason they had been dragging their feet was because those who wanted to invest in them had ulterior motives, which is why Su Bai's words had moved him.

However, Fu Fei was no longer a naive young man fresh out of school. He set a final hurdle for Su Bai: if Su Bai failed to pass, he naturally wouldn't present the contract.

"Okay! I'll take a look first." Su Bai took the contract and carefully looked through it. After a while, Su Bai put the contract down. "The contract is fine, I'll sign it now." He picked up a pen from the table, signed his name in a flowing style, and then pressed his fingerprint on it.

Seeing this, Fu Fei also picked up another contract, signed it, and pressed his fingerprint on it. The two signed the contracts at almost the same time, and then exchanged them.

After signing and pressing his fingerprint, Su Bai put the document aside and said to Fu Fei, "According to the contract, I will transfer the first payment within seven working days. Please check your account then."

"Good, good, good!" Fu Fei grinned from ear to ear, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after bearing the pressure alone for so long.

"The food is here!!" Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately tidied up their belongings to make room for the food.

Fu Fei handed Su Bai a bowl and chopsticks, and while the waiter was serving the dishes, he said, "When we were in college, we loved to eat here. Every time we came, we would eat until we were stuffed before going home. After graduation, when we got stuck on a game, we would come here to eat together, and then go back to continue working on it. This place has almost become our second home."

Upon hearing Fu Fei's words, the waiter's eyes lit up with a smile: "Since you've said so, today's meal must be 20% off."

"Aunt Zhao, today only!" Fu Fei joked with the waitress. Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao immediately changed her tune, saying, "From now on, I'll give you a 20% discount whenever you come, okay?"

"That's great, thank you so much, Aunt Zhao!" Fu Fei's eyes brightened even more upon hearing this. There was no other way; he had basically been living frugally like this for the past two years. Although he had found Su Bai as a financial backer, it was not so easy to change the habits he had formed over a long period of time.

Aunt Zhao spoke a few more words with Fu Fei before leaving. Su Bai watched with a smile the whole time, and he envied such interpersonal relationships.

"Young Master Su, I'm sorry you had to see this!" Fu Fei said apologetically. "Try it, this place is the best in the whole B University." Fu Fei gave a thumbs up, his expression particularly sincere.

"Great!" Su Bai picked up a piece of meat and tasted it. The taste was indeed good, both numbing and spicy, and the more you chewed, the more fragrant it became. It was very appetizing. "No wonder you guys always manage to eat until you're stuffed. This is so good with rice!"

"Right!" Fu Fei said with a hint of smugness, then called to Wang Ming and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.

He hadn't had a peaceful meal like this for several days. Now that he was back, he could finally give his companions an explanation!

Not long after they started eating, Fu Fei ordered a few bottles of beer. Perhaps he had been suppressing his emotions for too long, because as soon as he started drinking, he couldn't hold back anymore. He kept complaining about how snobbish those people who only wanted his game were, saying their ulterior motives were practically jumping out of his face. The most despicable ones were those who wanted his game but didn't say so openly, only planning to sabotage it in secret. Fu Fei was cursing them one by one, since they weren't going to come here anyway. He was determined to give them a good scolding.

Wang Ming felt very embarrassed about this. "Su Bai, my senior brother isn't usually like this. Maybe he's been under too much pressure lately." Fu Fei has a low alcohol tolerance, and for some reason, he suddenly felt like drinking today. He even boldly drank directly from the bottle without using a glass. Sure enough, after finishing one bottle, he started acting crazy while drunk.

"It's okay." Su Bai hadn't finished the bottle of wine he'd opened, but Fu Fei was already completely drunk. "Do you know where he lives? I'll help you take him home!"

“No, no, no,” Wang Ming immediately refused. How could he trouble Su Bai? “My senior brother’s family is from out of town. They rented a place together to run a company and have been living in the company for the past two years. His company is a bit far away, so I can take him back.”

Speaking of the company, Su Bai remembered the shop that Su Mo had given him as compensation. "Alright then! But I didn't have time to mention that I have a shop under my name near the entertainment center, which is currently vacant. Ask Fu Fei when he sobers up if he wants to move the company there."

"Ah!" Wang Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't heard what Su Bai said clearly. After a long while, he nodded, "Oh, I'll tell my senior brother."

When it came time to pay the bill, Wang Ming absolutely refused to let Su Bai pay, so Su Bai had no choice but to let him. After paying the bill, the two of them worked together to get Fu Fei to the street corner, hailed a taxi, and then Wang Ming and Fu Fei left.

Su Bai stood at the street corner and patted his stomach. Although he had eaten a full meal, he still wanted some barbecue. Should he go and have some more?

You can't buy barbecue anywhere else on a university campus. It's a rare opportunity to come here, so it would be a shame not to have some!

Su Bai hesitated for two or three seconds, but finally decided to eat some. If he couldn't finish it, he could just pack it up and take it back as a late-night snack.

Turning around, Su Bai found the barbecue restaurant she had her eye on before. It was completely different from when she first arrived. It was packed with people, and there were many people waiting in line to order. Su Bai silently put away her agape and joined the last person in line.

He was wearing a tracksuit and didn't look out of place standing among a group of college students, which made Su Bai a little smug.

He's still very young!

But he's only twenty-two years old, which is the prime of his youth!

Every time Su Bai felt so deeply that he had truly been reborn, he couldn't help but want to cry.

Looking up at the sky, I tried to hold back the tears that were about to spill, but I was surprised to find that there were already some scattered stars in the sky. Although they were not very bright, they were still dazzling in the night sky.

Su Bai silently told himself, "Su Bai, I believe you can also become a shining star!"
