After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter Ninety-Four: Hell, Shall We Go?

"Huo Yubai, did you sneak in in the middle of the night and puncture my tires?" I glanced at him sideways.

He smiled faintly: "You can doubt your family's security, but you shouldn't doubt my character."

I scoffed: "The security is part of the villa's amenities; it's your product. To doubt the security is to doubt your character."

Huo Yubai: "..."

"Let's go," I urged. "Let's hurry to the Gu Group."

Huo Yubai's dark eyes shone brightly: "Okay, get in the car."

I turned around and got into the car.

Although the enclosed elevator car is spacious, no matter how far apart you sit, there is only a 50-centimeter gap between you.

Huo Yubai sat in the car with his legs crossed. His skin was so fair that his pores were almost invisible. His nose was straight and prominent. The shadows of the trees outside the car window made his features appear even more deep and three-dimensional.

Now, his temperament has lost the wildness of his youth and instead become deep and domineering.

I don't know how long I stared blankly at it.

"Five minutes." He glanced sideways, as if he could read minds.

I said awkwardly, "I wasn't looking at you, I was thinking about something."

"Oh, then keep thinking about it." He showed me his profile: "Is this angle okay?"

I:"……"

Forget it.

The temperature inside the carriage was a bit high.

I need some fresh air.

The thought that Huo Yubai's body couldn't withstand it made them give up.

"Old Wu, turn off the air conditioning." Huo Yubai said calmly, "From now on, when Professor Shen rides in my car, don't set the temperature too high."

"I understand, Mr. Huo." Old Wu nodded.

"It's okay, I'm not hot." I said, "You're not well, you can't catch a cold."

“Actually, I’m not that delicate, am I?” He looked at me intently. “You said that as long as you’re here, I can live to be a hundred.”

“Yes, you will live a long time,” I said.

Shortly after, the car stopped downstairs at the Gu Group building.

Huo Yubai and I got off the bus.

Gu Heng must have explained it.

So Huo Yubai and I went upstairs easily.

His assistant led us into the president's office.

Gu Heng's expression was not good: "I thought you came alone?"

"Let me introduce you, Mr. Huo Yubai, who has also joined our collaboration." I got straight to the point, not wanting to say a single unnecessary word to Gu Heng.

Gu Heng frowned.

“My mom didn’t say yesterday that this collaboration could only be between you and me. Besides, is Gu Heng capable of handling such a large project?” I took out the documents: “I’m contributing my technology as equity, I won’t take a single penny. The initial investment for this project is 500 million. I don’t accept installments for this 500 million; you must give it to me in one lump sum. I want to know if you can give it to me now?”

Actually, Gu Heng didn't need to answer.

I know he can't.

Such a large sum of money requires the approval of the board of directors.

Gu Heng hadn't expected me to ask for so much: "I'll give you one hundred million first."

“It seems you don’t understand this industry at all.” I shrugged. “A hundred million is just a drop in the ocean. Once it’s really running, the money will be spent like water, and there’s no expectation of returns for the first three years.”

Gu Heng remained silent.

“Gu Heng, you’ve got some nerve.” I said solemnly, “I’m doing this project not to threaten you, but to benefit humanity. But if you treat this as a joke, as a way to control me, and push me too far, I can do whatever I want. Don’t go too far.”

Gu Heng understood the principle that even a rabbit will bite when cornered, "Alright, Mr. Huo, if you want to join, then join."

"So how much can you give me?" I asked, looking at him.

"Two hundred million." This is not Gu Heng's limit.

However, money cannot be used recklessly; the Gu Group still has Gu Haoran in charge.

"I'll give you five hundred million," Huo Yubai said generously.

I shrugged: "Huo Yubai owns 50% of the shares, President Gu also contributed money and owns 35%, and I will keep 15%. Do you two have any questions?"

“No problem.” Huo Yubai spoke first, sitting casually on the sofa: “I’m always easy to talk to.”

He takes a lot, so of course there's no problem.

"You really can produce that much?" Gu Heng asked incredulously.

Huo Yubai took out a check and handed it to me: "Professor Shen, you can go and verify it now."

"No need." I quickly glanced at it: "It's definitely real, and I'm not afraid you'll renege on your promise."

Huo Yubai curled his lips and stared at my slender, white neck for a moment.

Gu Heng's eyes widened in surprise: "Your father knows about this?"

"Are you a child? Do you need to ask an adult about this kind of thing?" Huo Yubai mocked. "I kicked him out of the company a long time ago. He has no say in anything. President Gu's methods are still a bit weak."

While the two of them were "chatting," I had Xia Zhe deliver the contract.

Xia Zhe had already prepared everything and was just waiting for them to give him the money so he could fill in the numbers.

The contract was made in triplicate. All copies were stamped.

After I finish, I will leave.

"Shen Yan, I have a few words I'd like to discuss with you privately," Gu Heng said solemnly.

"You two go out first," I said, looking at Huo Yubai and Xia Zhe.

They had no choice but to go outside.

Gu Heng stood up: "I heard that when Professor Ming Zhe passed away, he entrusted a few things to you."

I clenched my fist.

He even found out about this kind of thing.

“I know where that woman is.” He glanced at me.

"What do you want?" I frowned.

"There's a banquet tonight." Gu Heng smiled. "Will you come with me?"

"Gu Heng, with all this scheming, do you think I'd still fall for you?" I said sarcastically, too lazy to pretend anymore.

“At least, you will listen to me.” He was very certain.

"So what if you know where that woman is?" I retorted. "Who knows if what you're saying is true or false?"

"Since you know I'm scheming, then you should know that if it weren't absolutely true, how could I dare to say such a thing?" Gu Heng smiled casually. "I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. You'll come to the banquet with me tonight, and I'll hand over the information with both hands. I definitely won't make things difficult for you anymore."

"You'd better be!" I turned and left.

"7:30 pm, don't forget." He smiled confidently behind me.

I walked out of the office.

Xia Zhe is waiting for me.

Huo Yubai did not leave either.

"The contracts are all signed, why aren't you going back to the company?" I asked Huo Yubai.

"We agreed on pick-up and drop-off service." Huo Yubai's eyes were cold.

“Xia Zhe is here. I have a car.” I looked at him and said, “You don’t need to wait for me. You’re the president of the Huo Group, why are you waiting for me like this…”

"I'm willing." Huo Yubai stopped me from saying the rest of his sentence.

"You're done here, you can leave," Huo Yubai ordered Xia Zhe.

Xia Zhe remained unmoved: "I am the vice president of Wanwu Group, not your vice president."

Huo Yubai snorted.

"Xia Zhe, you should go back first," I said.

Xia Zhe nodded.

"Where are you going? I'll take you." Huo Yubai looked at me intently.

I laughed angrily: "Hell, you want to go?"
