“Hehe, oh yeah, I heard you invest in movies?” I pretended to ask in a casual manner.

“Yeah, there’s quite a few. But I haven’t found the female leads, and that’s been troubling me!” David was someone that knew how to act.

“Oh? Since it’s like this, then I think Shirley is pretty good. She also wants to develop in this direction. Support her, just treat it as doing me a favor. You can go and find Hank if the money isn’t enough,” I said.

“This is no big deal,” David said casually. “Oh yeah, about the firearms that our family ordered last time… Can you prioritize us…”

“I’ll talk to Hank about it,” With that, I hung up the call.

The moment I hung up the call, Shirley hugged me excitedly and cheered, “Darling, you’re amazing! Even David has to listen to you! The leads for so many movies… Wow! Am I dreaming!”

“Darling isn’t good. Call me hubby from now on! Okay?” I scratched Shirley’s nose fondly and said.

“Okay, hubby,” Shirley said with her weird-sounding Chinese.

“Oh yeah, hubby, what was the firearms that David was talking about just now?” Shirley asked.

“That isn’t something for girls to understand. Just don’t ask about these sort of things and be your superstar. I will pave the way for you,” I said plainly.

Shirley nodded obediently.

“Here is a gold Visa card from the Bank of Switzerland, which can be used anywhere in the world. There’s ten million USD in it, it will be enough for your daily spending. I have to go back after a few days. Take care of yourself,” I said to Shirley.

Shirley did not refuse as she received the bank card and put in into her bag.

“If anyone bullies you, directly all David or Hank, they will help you,” I reminded her.

“I get it. I’m all curious just what your real identity is,” said Shirley.

“If you continue being curious, then you will definitely fall in love with me,” I smiled.

“I…. I found that I have already fallen in love with you,” Shirley said seriously.

“Really?” I asked.

“Really,” said Shirley.

“Alright. If you miss me in the future, then you can call this number. I’ll come over to be with you if I’m free,” I handed Shirley a card.

My card was printed with a handwritten font. There was just a name and a number. I wouldn’t easily give it out, the people that know my number were normally ones that were rather close or familiar with me.

“Lau Lei?” Shirley tried to read the pinyin on it.

“It’s Liu Lei,” I said.

“Liu Lei?” Shirley read once again. Then she said, “I remember it now. My man is called Liu Lei.”

“Alright then, I have other business to attend to, so I’ll leave now. Call me when you miss me,” With that, I put on my clothes and walked out of the suite.

After I closed the door, I found that Du Xiaowei and Hank was already waiting for me on the sofa.

“Boss, you’re so amazing!” Hank gave me a thumbs up. “Two hours!”

I smiled wryly, I was talking with Shirley in the room! He actually treated it as…

“Hank, help me take care of Shirley. She’s my woman now,” I said plainly.

“Okay, boss,” Hank answered without asking why.

“I agreed to David’s request, so prioritize providing their family with firearms,” I said to Hank.

“I understand,” Hank still did not say too much.

At this moment, my phone suddenly rang. I picked it up to have a look and saw that it was actually David!

“Hey, Liu! My subordinates just told me that they saw Lei Xiaolong in one of my casinos!” David said excitedly. He must feel that it was a great honor to succeed in this matter.

“I understand. I’ll be right there!” I hung up with a evil smile.

“Boss, there’s news?” Du Xiaowei asked.

I nodded in response, “Get ready to work.”

Both Hank and Du Xiaowei rubbed their hands in excitement as they walked off to prepare the car.

The three of us appeared in David’s casino ten minutes later. My identity was a certain rich businessman, while Du Xiaowei and Hank were my bodyguard and translator respectively.

My memory of Lei Xiaolong was already blurred, but I could still remember the person beside him as if it was a fresh memory! Uncle Bin! It’s that Uncle Bin!

It seems like it wasn’t going to be easy. Uncle Bin was an impressive person, I wonder if Uncle Bin would interfere when we carry out our plan?

However, I immediately smiled. Uncle Bin was stronger than be back then, but he is merely so-so right now. I think that even Du Xiaowei can deal with him easily!

Due to Uncle Bin, I was certain that the young master beside him was Lei Xiaolong. At that moment, Lei Xiaolong was playing stud poker. From the looks of the chips in front of him, he was having extremely good luck and was winning continuously.

At that moment, one of David’s subordinate, who has already been waiting in the casino, gave one of the guests a cue. That guest immediately stood up and said, “Aiya, I’m unlucky today. Let’s just leave it at that. I’m going back first, otherwise, the tigress at him is going to get mad again!”

Since Lei Xiaolong was getting heated up and one of the guests left the table of four meant that the game will not be as fun, he immediately said unhappily, “What? You’re going to leave after losing that tiny bit of money?”

“There’s no helping it. I must leave. I rely on the tigress in my home for food. I have no other choice!’ The guest waved his hand and left.

At that moment, I immediately appeared.

At the same time, one of the subordinates in the casino quickly came over with a smile, “Hey! Isn’t this Boss Liu? What would you like to play today?”

“How about studs! I wonder if there’s a table with higher bets?” I asked casually.

Lei Xiaolong heard everything we said. My timely arrival also satisfied his wish to keep playing, thus he shouted, “Waiter, here! We’re lacking a person here!”

Thus, I ‘coincidentally’ got placed on Lei Xiaolong’s table.

“I wonder what the bets are?” I asked like a pretentious upstart.

“Ten thousand is the minimum. A hundred thousand is the maximum,” Lei Xiaolong explained.

“Too little, it’s not exciting at all!” I shook my head and said. “A hundred thousand minimum, with no maximum. How’s that?”

Lei Xiaolong had found the games just now to be not exciting enough. Hearing my words, he agreed full-heartedly. As for the other people, since they were all “accomplices” that David had arranged, they did not have any issues with it either.

Seeing that Lei Xiaolong agreed. I took out a card and said to a casino employee, “I want a hundred million of chips.”

“A hundred million!” Everyone around me was shocked. They had never seen anyone exchange for that much chips in the hall!

Lei Xiaolong also threw out a card as if he was unsatisfied with the admiring and shocking gazes of others, “I also want to exchange for a hundred million!”

“Young Master…” Uncle Bin wanted to stop him. However Lei Xiaolong said with a wave of his hand, “None of your business!”

Perfect! I couldn’t help but admit that the bodies of some western females were western perfect!

Seeing that I pushed open the bathroom door, Shirley blanked out for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. She said quietly, “I’ll be done soon…”

“Hehe, no problem, let’s wash together!” I held Shirley from behind and said softly beside her ear.

“Ah!” Shirley trembled while her face turned red.

“Not… here….” Shirley said in a trembling tone.

I didn’t think that Shirley’s body would be so sensitive. I had thought that women’s body were no longer sensitive in a country as open as the US.

But what did I care, if I merely felt admiration for her in my previous life, I had other sort of feelings towards her in this life.

I turned the beauty in my arms around and kissed her sexy lips.

To be honest, I was someone well versed in this, but it was my first time with a foreign woman!

Shirley was a bit shy during the kiss. When I noticed, I was a bit confused, she was still acting at that moment. However, I didn’t object to it, this sort of atmosphere was pretty good too, it fully satisfied my pride.

Trails of blood fell onto the bathroom floor along Shirley’s perfect thighs.

I immediately cleared up quite a bit. Why was there blood? As I looked at Shirley, who was quietly lying in my arms, I was a bit confused and a bit surprised.

It’s her period? Doesn’t seem like it.

First time? This thought gradually took hold in my mind!

All of a sudden, I finally understood why that old guy, David, brought an actress without any reputation for me to choose!

The entertainment industry was a place where virgins pretty much did not exist. Yet, it was still Shirley’s first time!

That means that her lack of familiarity was all real!

This guy, David, probably did this after hearing from somewhere that easterners had a rather severe virginity complex.

I shook my head. Although I knew that American women didn’t think much of virginity, I did!

After I was reborn, my possessiveness was almost at a terrifying degree. Shirley, just where was I supposed to place you?

I picked up Shirley and put her on the bed, then turned on the television in the room.

I flipped through several channels, but there weren’t any good shows.

Suddenly, I felt the person beside me move. I turned around to have a look. Shirley had already opened her insanely mesmerizing eyes and was staring at me…

“You’re awake?” I said as I turned off the television.

Shirley didn’t say anything, and kissed me…

I couldn’t help but admire the powerful recovery ability and acceptance of foreign women!

Shirley familiarly took the lead in our second time.

When our lusts were finally satisfied once again, Shirley didn’t even have the strength to go off me and return onto the bed.

“It’s your first time?” I asked in confusion.

“Yes…” Shirley didn’t deny it.

“Don’t look at me like that? I don’t have any psychological issues, I just didn’t find a man that gave me the feels…” Shirley thought I was suspicious of her sexual preferences since I found out that she was still a virgin.

“Oh,” I nodded. “Then why did you come to accompany me?”

“It’s because David said that if I come accompany you, I will get the lead in one of the films that his movie company is investing in,” Shirley said helplessly.

“He,” I kind of wanted to laugh. Shirley had gotten famous after sleeping with a director in my previous life, but in this life, it was actually with me!

“What are you laughing for, it is already an open secret in our circle. I’m rather lucky already, so many people don’t even have the chance!” Shirley said in self-mockery.

“How would you know that there would definitely be a role for you after you sleep with me?” I asked.

“I don’t, I’m merely betting on it. I don’t lose much even if I don’t. What’s more, I seem to like the feeling of having sex with you…” Shirley said boldly.

“If you only like this sort of feeling, then it’s the same no matter who it was with,” I said in slight disappointment. It seems like foreign women aren’t easy to deal with.

“No, I like doing it with you. I have no feeling for other people,” Shirley emphasized.

“Didn’t you lack any feeling towards me before as well?” I asked.

“That’s not the same, I did it to feed myself! I want a role, without it, my dad can’t retire!’ Shirley said determinedly.

“Then are you going to do it with other people in the future?” I asked in a testing manner. I knew that it wasn’t possible for her to fall in love with me in such a short while, but at least, I’ll make it so that others can’t **** her. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be cuckold?

“Mhmm… If David keeps his word, then how about I only do it with you from now on?” Shirley said naïvely.

It seems like she still didn’t understand how the rules were in the entertainment industry. But, whether she understood or not no longer mattered with me here.

“Don’t worry, he doesn’t dare to not keep his word,” I said with a smile.

“Hopefully,” Shirley nodded. Then she suddenly asked. “What do you do?”

“I’m unemployed,” I said honestly.

“Unemployed?” Shirley asked in confusion. How could someone that David treats as a VIP be unemployed?

“I just don’t really do anything about from getting mistresses and ‘second milks’,” I replied.

“What’s ‘second milks’?” Shirley asked.

“Basically a mistress,” I didn’t know how to explain it. No matter how good my English is, I wouldn’t be able to explain it properly.

“Oh? Then how about letting me become your mistress?” Shirley suddenly asked weakly.

I sweat! She actually said this without blushing.

“That’s alright, but you must listen to me from now on,” I nodded in agreement.

“Then will you give me money?” Shirley continued to ask.

“Do you want money, or do you want your career to be extremely successful?” I asked.

“Can you make me famous?” Shirley asked in surprise.

“Perhaps,” I nodded.

“You’re amazing!” Shirley kissed me and said.” I want to be a superstar, the kind that’s super famous.”

Such pure western girls were very rare. Now, I even suspected that Shirley only slept with the famous director and no one else in my previous life.

I took out my phone from my clothes beside the bed and dialed David’s number.

“Liu, is it you! How is it? Are you satisfied!” David’s sincere voice sounded out from the phone.

“Yeah, I really like her. I’m saying that I like her. Do you understand what I mean?” I said vaguely.

However, David immediately understood the meaning of my words. So he replied, “I swear by the name of the Hellspawns, no men would appear by her side.”

“Also, I want to ask, is there one of your properties within the casinos that Lei Xiaolong frequents?” I asked after a thought. At that moment, I had already formed the approximate plan.

“Hehe, without me, David, nodding, who would be able to open a casino in New York?” David laughed.

“Then it’ll be easy! If Lei Xiaolong goes once again, tell me immediately,” I also smiled. David was right. He was the underground king of this city. He had all the say for the underground businesses.

I used a bit of time to change my appearance slightly. However, to be honest, Lei Xiaolong probably forget about what I looked like after not having met for so many years. At the time, a small fry like me was another even enough for a rich young master like him to look at properly, so he might not even remember me.

“Okay, my esteemed guest. Please relax properly, everything’s on me,” David stood up with a smile. “Sorry, you also know that there are a lot of stuff to do every day in my position…”

“No worries, Mr. David. Just busy yourself, we’ll just enjoy by ourselves,” I stood up and walked David out of the room.

Not long later, ten-odd western girls entered the room, while one of David’s subordinates followed behind.

“Sirs, this is a sign of goodwill from Mr. David, if they don’t fit your requirements, I can change them… But these are the best,” said David’s subordinates.

My expression sullen slightly. ****, am I someone that that sought prostitutes, they actually tried to trick me with trash from bars. Don’t I know how to pick up girls myself?

Perhaps Hank saw that I had a dark expression, so he stood up and muttered a few words to David’s subordinate. Hank and David were very familiar with each other, so David’s subordinate was also very familiar with Hank.

When Hank finished, David’s subordinates immediately explained, “Perhaps I didn’t explain properly. Esteemed guest, you have been mistaken. They don’t work in that industry, they are all famous models or stars and were invited by Mr. David to bring enjoyment to you all.”

Hearing that, I raised my eyebrows and looked at the foreign beauties in front of me. To be honest, all of them had a top-notch body… Then, I suddenly saw a person. Shirley!

****, wasn’t she a famous Hollywood star! I remember that I was one of her fans in my previous life. I had the fortune to chat a few times with her on a banquet, but she was so elegant at the time. Many people failed to get her in the upper class! Now… She actually appeared here as an escort!

I couldn’t help but admire David’s power! The fact that he was able to do that meant that David wasn’t simple at all.

Du Xiaowei had gotten a good grasp of my line of thoughts during the few years he has followed me. Now that he saw my gaze, he immediately understood. He pointed at Shirley and said, “Stay.”

Then Hank and him randomly chose two models, and got David’s subordinate to take the remaining people out.

Neither Du Xiaowei nor Hank was any sort of true gentlemen, both of them were very familiar with this sort of thing. After all, how many in their industry didn’t touch women?

However, I was still having a mental debate of whether I should get her to stay or not?

Yet, before I made my decision, Du Xiaowei already made it for me.

My English was already very fluent in my previous life. As a higherup of the Microsoft back then, fluency in English was a must.

“Sir…” Shirley sat beside me and acted a bit held-back.

I found it rather funny. ****, she was pretending to be pure even though she was acting as an escort. What’s more, why was she pretending to be pure in the movie industry? If I didn’t remember it wrong from my previous life, Shirley was someone that got onto the list of famous Hollywood stars by sleeping with a top director.

“Boss, why do you like this sort of pure girl!” Du Xiaowei teased on the side. The hot girl on him already started to rub all over him.

“Pure? You don’t know her?” I pointed to Shirley, who was beside me, in surprise. You have to know, she took the hot and sexy route in a lot of her movies.

Du Xiaowei shook his head, and so did Hank. Du Xiaowei pointed to Shirley and said, “I’ve never seen her. Boss, there were so many famous models that you didn’t choose, you just had to pick the one that isn’t famous at all! The one in my arms shot a cover for Playboy!”

Not famous?! I sweat! Then I understood. It was only 1999, Shirley’s debut was in 2000. That means that she was only a third-rated actress right now, or perhaps not even one, she might very well be just a random character in the background!

Then why did David grab her over? Was it just because she was pretty?

“Shirley?” I asked in a testing manner. Now I wasn’t so certain. After all, that was a memory from so many years ago. I couldn’t be sure that the person in front of me was actually Shirley.

“You… know me?” Shirley answered hesitantly.

“Ugh… I saw you on a magazine,” I didn’t know whether Shirley had starred in a movie yet or not, so I just said randomly.

“Seriously!” Shirley revealed a hint of joy. “I only appeared on one magazine cover. You actually remember…”

Damn, I even managed to guess this sort of low-probability thing correct.

“Mhmm,” I nodded, and didn’t know what to say. To be honest, I’ve never studied the mentality of foreign women, I didn’t know what I should talk about with them. Although I really wanted to talk with Shirley a bit before doing anything else, I noticed that it was clearly very difficult. It wasn’t an issue of language, rather, it was because I saw that Shirley was a bit shy!

This sort of woman actually appeared shy! This confused me!

Acting, she must be acting!

On the other side, Du Xiaowei and Hank had already entered the last step before doing it. All of them picked up the foreign beauty on them and entered a suite.

“Let’s go in as well?” ****, when did I turn so gentleman-like?

Shirley nodded without saying anything.

I held Shirley’s hand and walked into the suite in the middle, then I locked the door.

“I’m… going to take a shower,” Shirley said quietly, then ran off.

This woman was truly amazing at acting! However, what did the old guy, David, plan? He actually got a small star without any sort of fame to accompany me. I had thought that he was amazing enough to get Shirley as an escort, now it seems like it wasn’t difficult at all.

At the same time, the sound of flowing water caused my mind to go into chaos. Didn’t they say foreigners are very open! Let’s have a mixed bath…

I quickly took off all my clothes and arrived in front of the bathroom. I pushed the door and found that it wasn’t locked. Actually, it didn’t matter even if it was locked, I could still destroy the lock.

“Bundled sales?” Chu Gao said in confusion. He already tried this method, but the local scanner factories refused it.

“Yes! Bundled sales. I will make all of the Russians’ computers be installed with our OCR product, ‘I nodded.

“Everyone? How is that possible!” Chu Gao exclaimed.

“Of course it’s possible. All we have to do is bundle the product in Shuguang’s operation system,” I said evilly.

“****! So sinister,” Chu Gao also laughed.

Two people said that I was sinister for two days in a row? Was I really so sinister?

I left the business of contacting Shuguang to Chu gao. Since the higherups of Yanjing city’s Shuguang Corporation already knew my relationship with Zhao Junsheng, it made this sort of mutual beneficial thing much easier.

I didn’t plan to use this sort of unethical sales techniques, but Company A’s press conference truly angered me. I’ll let them suffer this time.

Professor Dong was very happy about his product being introduced. What’s more, he was also very confidence in the research team that he handpicked himself, and got ready expand this research team in order to research and develop even more advanced technology.

What’s more, these people also gradually the most solid foundation of New Century.

Who would dislike there being too much money? What’s more, I earned money in order to support an even grander plan.

Recently, Sun Sikong needed a large amount of metal in order to develop a larger aircraft-carrier-styled spaceship. Due to this, I bought all sorts of metal from all around the world using a large sum of money in order to give it to Sun Sikong for experimentation.

Although Sun Sikong’s laboratory had already controlled the method of changing the atomic construction of items, doing so required a cost, it wasn’t as affordable as directly buying the metals.

June had arrived in the blink of an eye. There was still five days from Xia Jing’s wedding.

I told Du Xiaowei to send all the information he got as a result of his investigation over.

Xia Jing originally studied in the Stafford University of the US. Her father worked in National Security, while her mother is the chairman of a certain famous nationalized corporation. From the looks of it, Xia Jing’s background was rather impressive, it was a huge different when I compared it with my original background. No wonder Xia Jing told me to increase my society position no matter what. If I was just a normal person, even if Xia Jing was willing, her parents would not accept their son-in-law to be a normal person.

It’s just that this Lei Xiaolong was a bit troublesome. If the Lei family was just a normal family, then it would be easy to deal with. The main issue is that both the Xia family and the Lei family are reputed families. If the Xia family abandons the marriage, the Lei family would definitely lose all their face. Would the Xia family go against the Lei family?

I shook my head and stopped thinking about that for the moment. The most important thing was Xia Jing’s thoughts. If she had already decided to marry that Lei Xiaolong, it would be a waste of time regardless of how much I try.

If Xia Jing still likes me when I go and rob the wedding, then my actions would be a spectacle of the century. If Xia Jing doesn’t like me, then my actions would be completely retarded.

But I didn’t mind being a ****** for once.

“Did you contact the branch office of US?” Du Xiawei’s mercenary company had started up a rather huge firearms company in the US and was very well connected there.

“Martial Uncle, it’s all ready. No matter how much of a commotion we cause, nobody will come and interfere,” Du Xiaowei smiled. “What’s more, the television channels wouldn’t have anyone there.”

I nodded. I knew that firearm companies had very powerful social positions and powers in these countries. They were able to do a lot of things that others could not. This was also the reason I got Du Xiaowei to do it instead of Shuguang’s branch office.

Within a bar owned by the local mobs, the Hellspawns, in New York, USA.

“Chief, Instructor,” a white young man spoke to Du Xiaowei and I in stiff Chinese.

“Call me boss in front of other people,” I nodded.

“Yes, boss,” the white young man immediately changed the way he addressed me.

“He’s Hank, the person in charge of our company in the Americas. He is mainly in charge of firearm dealings, but he also accepts assassinations or temporary mercenary employment for the local gangs,” Du Xiaowei introduced him to me. “The one we’re going to meet later the boss of the Hellspawns, Gree, he’s the emperor of the underworld in New York.”

“How trustworthy is this person?” I asked.

“Hehe, the Lei family is just a rich family, while us, to be frank, is the ones who provides firearms for their gang. Do you think that they have a need to offend us just because of the Lei family?” Du Xiaowei smiled.

“That’s good,” as I replied, the door of the room opened, and a forty-something years old white fatty walked in.

The white fatty scanned us, then walked straight towards me and reached out his hand, “Hello, esteemed guests from the east. I’m the person in charge here, David Gree. Of course, you can also call me David, this makes us more intimate.”

“Alright, Mr. David,” I stood up and shook his hand with a smile. I couldn’t help but say that David was very observative, he could immediately tell that I held the highest position in between the three of us.

But it wasn’t hard to see. Both Du Xiaowei and Hank wore suits, which were very formal clothing. On the other hand, I wore a casual set of sportswear. If I didn’t have a higher position than the two of them, it was impossible for me to act so casual in front of the two of them.

David also understood from my attitude just now that I was much more powerful than him. The fact that the owner behind the scenes of the largest mercenary company in the world would come to trouble him was a sign of recognition.

David definitely knew that if he really got on my boat, then he would definitely get huge advantages for his future!

“Did you bring Lei Xiaolong’s information?” David and I needed no false courtesy, so I went straight into the main topic. I already got brief information on Le Xiaolong, but I needed a local like David to help for more detailed information.

“Lei Xiaolong is very arrogant, he completely lacks his father’s calm. During his time in New York, he has frequented places like bars and casinos that uses up a ton of money,” said David.

It seems like this person was the same as before, he didn’t know how to do anything other than spending money and showing off. It shouldn’t be very difficult to deal with him. I had originally planned to go head to head with him on the wedding, it seems like I no longer needed to do that. As long as I deal with him beforehand, then everything was good.

Most importantly, I was already sure that Xia Jing would definitely not like such a useless young master!

“What does Mr. Liu plan to do?” asked David.

“Hmm, I had some ideas, but I need your cooperation. I want to borrow a few subordinates from you. You should know that I didn’t bring anyone this time,” I said. Since this was David’s place, I wasn’t really giving him face if I brought my own people.

“No problem, this is easy to handle,” David nodded. “Anything else?”

“No… No need!” Zhou Yu freaked after hearing about my car. No matter what, he didn’t want to get anywhere near my car, so he even got a bit scared.

That Wang Di also owned a car. This guy drove a Ford sports car.

It was fortunate that the fundraising event supported cards, otherwise, just where was I supposed to get so much cash!

“Classmate Liu Lei, how much are you preparing to donate?” Zhou Yu deliberately said loudly beside me. “If you are just going to donate a few thousand, then don’t do it. You are representing Huaxia University!”

“Hehe, Classmate Zhou Yu isn’t right here, no matter how much you donate, it is a act of good will towards the people. How does it have any relationship with what school I’m from?” I laughed and asked.

“Ugh…” Zhou Yu didn’t think that I would say that, so all of a sudden, he was unsure of what to say.

“Oh yeah, Zhou Yu, since our names are already out there, let’s not ask for this name! How about this? Let’s compare with Classmate Liu Lei to see who can donate the most! Regardless of who wins and who loses, it will be donated using this pretty lady’s name!” Wang Di gave Zhou Yu a cue and pointed at Xu Ruoyun.

“This idea is pretty good, let’s do just that! I wonder if Classmate Liu Lei dares to play this game?” Zhou Yu said with a nod.

“This idea is pretty good, let’s go just that,” I thought to myself. With the help of these two idiots, it would be hard even if Xu Ruoyun didn’t want to get first place.

The leader-board of donations kept on refreshing, but the highest amount was merely at around three thousand yuan.

“Let’s go over and scare that brat to death,” Zhou Yu said to Wang Di, then walked to the donation box with Xu Ruoyun’s tag.

“Computing First Year’s Xu Ruoyun donates eighty thousand yuan!” The staff said excitedly, it was the highest donation at that moment!

Zhou Yu returned proudly and said to me, “It’s your turn.”

I nodded and said, “There’s no hurry, it hasn’t ended yet.”

Zhou Yu and Wang Di thought I was afraid and struggled in my heart, so they were both very excited.

I wasn’t in a hurry, what I had to do was to see if there was any donation higher than Xu Ruoyun’s. Disappointingly, there wasn’t. Aside from Xu Ruoyun’s, the highest was merely twenty thousand yuan.

“Why are you still not going?” Zhou Yu reminded when he saw that the fundraising event was nearly over.

“Oh, I’m not going. You won,” I said.

“I won!” Zhou Yu couldn’t believe that he just won like that.

“Yeah, you won,” I said with certainty.

“Wang Di, we won!” Zhou Yu said happily to Wang Di.

“Mhmm, you guys won. Thank you for donating eighty thousand yuan for my wife,” I nodded towards Zhou Yu with a smile.

“Your… wife?! Xu Ruoyun is your wife?!” Zhou Yu said in a bit of disbelief.

“Yeah, didn’t you know?” I asked.

“He’s your husband?” Zhou Yu asked Xu Ruoyun without giving up.

Xu Ruoyun nodded.

“Thanks. You two, we’ll be leaving first,” I held Xu Ruoyun’s hand and walked out.

“****! He messed with us, that woman is with him!” Wang Di said angrily.

“So eighty thousand yuan is just gone?” Zhou Yu said dumbly.

“No ****! ****, we did it all for them,” Wang Di swore. “That brat clearly wanted to screw us over once! You retardedly thought that you can put him down with money, but they had completely planned it all.”

“Hubby, are we terrible for doing that?” Xu Ruoyun asked.

“Nope, they are so rich, they should contribute for towards the people that suffered,” I said.

“Then why aren’t you donating?” Xu Ruoyun asked in confusion.

I smiled, “Of course I will donate, but not in front of them.”

“You are so sinister. Zhou Yu is definitely beyond pissed this time,” Xu Ruoyun rolled her eyes at me and said.

On May 20th 1999, New Century Computers introduced their first product that had been developed using sponsors – the Chinese character OCR system. In the same time period, the OCR system for handwritten Italian, Russian and English was also introduced to the market. We were able to find suitable retail agencies for the Italian and English OCR systems, but we ran into a bit of trouble with the Russian system. That was because Russia had already have a local company, Company A, that had the same sort of product with a very high recognition rate as well. It was a bit difficult for New Century to get into the market with its current power.

My thoughts on this was to try our best not to get into direct conflict with this Company A. We could sell use our advantage in the price to sell our product with the local scanners in a bundle.

This was the first time Chu Gao felt how important his responsibilities were, while the higherups of New Century Corporation also started to work intensely. Chu Gao agreed with my idea a lot, since New Century didn’t have much foundation, although it had enough funds, it lacked reputation, causing us to lose a bit. That’s why, my idea did sort of approached the issue in another manner.

However, to my surprise, Company A actually publicly denounced New Century’s OCR product, and swore cockily that New Century doesn’t have to think about even getting a single decimal of the Russian OCR market! Furthermore, it also worked with a lot of local agencies to completely refuse to work with New Century.

After this happened, I attended the meeting of the higherups of New Century Corporation for the first time as the consultant.

Since New Century had not been established for a long time, and the contacts it had was limited to within Huaxia, we had directly gave the local companies rights for the products in USA and Italy, so New Century did not had to sell its own products. However, Russia was different, since there were no local sales company, New Century had to do everything.

The results of the discussion between the higherups did not result in any solution, because New Century already lost to Company A in terms of “location” as a foreign company.

“Consultant Liu, what do you think we should do?” Chu Gao called me Consultant Liu in the meeting.

“I think that the main issue we have is the inability to occupy any market shares! The Russian consumers are not as opposed to using the products of a new company as Company A. That’s because it’s the same for them no matter who’s they use. But right now, the main issue is that we affected Company A’s profits. Company A has wide connections in Russia, so we can’t truly get into the market. That’s why, as long as we get the Russian consumers to use New Century’s products, the problem will be solved,” I said.

“Yeah, we can even not get any profit, and just take market shares. But the key question remains, how do we do that,” Chu Gao nodded.

“I insist on my initial viewpoint, bundle sales!” I said determinedly. Bundling products was the ace move of the company I was in during my previous life, regardless of the product, as long as they wanted to take the market, they would bundle it in their operating system, forcing the users to accept it.

“Damn! Bros, do you all feel good now? The multi-colored hair asked.

“Yeah! I feel so good from the beating! Let’s go!” said green hair.

Thus, the three of them left Zhou Yu, who ended up with something akin to a pig’s head, behind and left the crime scene.

Right after that, I saw the three of them walk to Du Xiaowei’s Douglas Ram from afar. Du Xiaowei casually chucked them an envelope before they left respectfully.

I smiled. Du Xiaowei handed this very well. Otherwise, I might have had to deal with it personally. Now, it had nothing to do with me at all.

“Aiya, isn’t this classmate Zhou? What happened with you?” I asked in false good will.

“I-I… Impossible!” Zhou Yu couldn’t understand at all. Why did the three people suddenly change sides.

“Aiya, so pitiful,” I shook my head and said to Xu Ruoyun. “Let’s go and eat. It seems like classmate Zhou would be unable to get up.”

I held Xu Ruoyun’s hand and got onto Du Xiaowei’s Douglas Ram.

“Xiaowei, you did it pretty well!” I smiled.

“It’s just a small thing, hehe,” Du Xiaowei laughed.

“How did you find out about their ploy?” I asked curiously.

“I was laying in the car with nothing to do when I suddenly saw these three brats wandering around suspiciously. Since I had nothing to do either way, I grabbed the three of them into the car. They confessed everything after I used a bit of techniques, then I just gave them twice the amount of money, so they all changed sides,” Du Xiaowei explained.

“Hahaha! This Zhou Yu was unlucky enough, he picked up a boulder and hit his own foot,” I laughed.

“It’s not only that, this brat used a brick to smash the car and in the end smacked his own face. He also pissed towards your car, causing his **** to get roasted!” Du Xiaowei also laughed, he coincidentally saw the scene of Zhou Yu smashing the car.

Xu Ruoyun blushed when she heard Du Xiaowei said that word, but she resisted laughing.

I coughed a few times, then said to Du Xiaowei after seeing Xu Ruoyun’s look, “Be more wary about your impacts, don’t just say any words.” After all, Xu Ruoyun was still a virgin, she was rather shy.

However, this Zhou Yu was too hilarious?! Smashing the car?! Pissing?!

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu was finally sent to the hospital by Wang Di, then wrapped up. It was fortunate that he didn’t have any internal injuries, they were only light wounds on the surface. Despite that, it still caused Zhou Yu to suffer.

“What’s going on! Didn’t we make it clear? I’ll hit them, and they’ll pretend to be unable to stand up to me. Why did they beat me so hard!” Zhou Yu said angrily.

“I don’t know either. They agreed properly, why did they change sides at the last moment?” Wang Di didn’t understand either.

“Those bastards, they are so ******* unreliable,” Zhou Yu said angrily. “Oh yeah, are you going to that something fundraising this afternoon?”

“Of course! How can us, the Typhoon Duo not take the chance to get famous? We might even get the admiration of beauties!” said Wang Di.

“Oh yeah!” Zhou Yu suddenly became extremely excited. “Say, if we invite Xu Ruoyun and the guy with her to it this afternoon, and then she sees his look when he doesn’t have any money, wouldn’t that mean… Hehe!”

“Is he very poor?” Wang Di asked.

“How much could he have if he drives a Santana 2000!” said Zhou Yu.

“True. He probably is just someone that has some money, but doesn’t know what to do with it,” Wang Di nodded.

“Then it’s decided, we’ll use money to push him away, so that he will give up! With our backgrounds, it wouldn’t be surprising if we tire him out!” Zhou Yu said proudly.

“Okay, I’ll go and prepare some money. I’ll definitely bury him to death with money to help you get even!” said Wang Di.

“Mhmm, prepare more this time just in case. Although that brat doesn’t look like anyone rich, I’m afraid of him caring too much about face and never giving up,” said Zhou Yu.

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t disappoint you this time!” said Wang Di. “I’ll go home later and bring all of my red packet money from the last few years!”

“Sure, I’ll go and prepare a bit as well,” Zhou Yu nodded

“Hubby, say, how much should we donate this afternoon?” Xu Ruoyun asked.

“What do you think? I will agree to however much you want to donate,” I said without minding it.

“Then can we donate 5000?” Xu Ruoyun asked.

“Let’s donate 10000, just treat it as doing something good for the people facing the catastrophe,” I smiled.

“Yay, hubby! I knew you were the best!” Xu Ruoyun kissed my cheek.

“Just look at how happy you are, what’s good about donating more?” I chuckled.

“Hehe, you found you!” Xu Ruoyun replied embarrassedly.

“There really is something that you get?” I asked curiously.

“Mhmm, yeah, the classmates that donates a lot can be prioritized to get nominated for this year’s ten school stars,” Xu Ruoyun said.

“You’re interested in this?” From my impression of her, Xu Ruoyun wasn’t someone that was interested in fame.

“It isn’t me! It’s grandpa, he is making me enter it. I just want to make him happy,” said Xu Ruoyun.

I sighed silently, Xu Ruoyun has grown up, she was no longer that rebellious chick that always went against her grandpa, she also understands the need to make him happy now. I understood about everything after thinking about that geezer Xu Jinde. Xu Jinde wasn’t someone who only liked a little bit of fame, this was something that I could tell from his encouragement of Zhao Yanyan and I to enter the computing competition.

I wasn’t interested in fame that came from money, but since Xu Jinde liked it, there was nothing wrong with getting it.

In the afternoon, I coincidentally “met” Zhou Yu once again. At the same time, there was also a person who dressed like a very cocky young master beside him.

Zhou Yu’s entire face was covered in plasters as he walked over with a lowly smile. It was as if he wasn’t the main character of the scene at noon.

I decided to pretend that I didn’t know what happened at noon was his ploy, and nodded towards Zhou Yu with a smile.

Seeing that I didn’t have any huge grudge against him, he thought that the truth did not leak out even though the situation at noon was screwed up. Thus, this guy and that young master, who was Wang Di, walked over and deliberately said loudly, “There’s a fundraising this afternoon, did you two receive the news?”

“Oh, this. We are going right now, am I right, Ruoyun?” I said with a smile.

Xu Ruoyun nodded without saying anything.

Zhou Yu thought to himself, it’s great that you guys are going. I had wanted to urge you guys on with words, I didn’t think that you guys anticipated that much!

“Oh, since it’s about time, how about we go together?” Wang Di looked at his watch, then turned to me. “Bro, what’s your name?”

“Liu Lei, from Huaxia University,” I nodded towards him.

“I’m called Wang Di, I’m from the same faculty as Zhou Yu,” Wang Di thought to himself, so this brat is from Huaxia, a student from another school actually dared to come to Beichen to pick up girls. He really needs to be taught a lesson!

“Oh, you two, since it’s like this, how about we go in my car?” I invited.

Although he didn’t dare to do anything else to the car, he dared to do something to the person. Zhou Yu merely treated me like a student, who loved pranks, and didn’t think much of me.

After returning to school, Zhou Yu got his best friend, Wang Di, who he made up the Beichen Tornado Duo with.

“You said a car screwed you over?’ Wang Di looked at his best friend in disbelief.

“Yeah, **** that ****** car! Laozi is not letting him off!” Zhou Yu swore.

“We can get a crane and smash his Santana 2000!” Wang Di suggested.

“Don’t! Please don’t! I’m begging you, I don’t want to touch that car ever again in my life, god knows what other weird stuff there is on it,” Zhou Yu was already terrified just thinking about it.

“Look at your ***** look,” Wang Di said in disdain.

“You don’t know how amazing his car is. Do you see my hair?” Zhou Yu pointed to his head and said.

“Oh yeah, I didn’t ask you yet. Where did you get your hair permed, it’s pretty special!’ said Wang Di.

“Special my ***! I got ******* electrocuted!” Zhou Yu swore.

“Hahaha!” Wang Di couldn’t help but laugh.

“****, I came to talk to you about how to teach that kid a lesson, you actually mock me!” Zhou Yu said angrily.

“Haha… Ha, sorry, how about we find a place to beat him up?” Wang Di suggested.

“That’s fine as well. ****, even though we can’t do anything to the car, can’t we just do something to the person! Go and find a few lackeys later, we’ll teach him a proper lesson!” Zhou Yu said excitedly.

“I feel like we should plan it properly. Don’t you like that Xu Ruoyun, I’m afraid of it having bad effects on you when we beat someone up in front of her!’ Wang Di reminded.

“That’s true, it would be the best if we can make this brat lose all his face!” Zhou Yu nodded.

“How about this, we’ll do that then… Let’s put on a show of a hero saving a beauty. That brat’s image would probably instantly fall to the bottom like a shooting star,” Wang Di thought about it and said.

“Sure, this idea isn’t bad! Let’s do that. Go and find someone, I’ll go and prepare a bit,” hou Yu said lecherously.

During noon, the moment Xu Ruoyun and I walked out of the building, three delinquents with dyed hair and cigarettes walked over.

“Hubby, let’s hurry up and leave. They don’t look like good people,” Xu Ruoyun whispered quietly beside my ear.

Hurry and leave? I smiled wryly. These people probably came for us?!

It was as I expected, one of the young man, whose hair was trimmed like a watermelon peel pointed at Xu Ruoyun and said, “Bros, these girlie is rather pretty!”

“Ha, truly not bad!” said green hair.

“Girlie, come with us bros to drink, gamble and smoke!” said the multi-colored hair.

“Hubby…” Xu Ruoyun hid behind me in fear.

“Ya! I didn’t notice that there was a retarded guy standing here!” The thin-faced young man pointed at me as if he suddenly noticed a new continent.

“****, he is truly too puny, if it wasn’t because of your reminder me, I wouldn’t have seen him!” said green hair.

“Same, it seems like it’s no good without glasses!” said the multi-colored hair.

“How is it, retarded guy? I’m interested in this girlie, are you going to disappear by yourself, or should we help you?” asked the thin-faced young man.

“You mean that you will disappear instead of me?” I said with a laugh.

“****! I was saying that we’ll cause you to disappear! Do you understand now?” the thin-faced young man said angrily.

“Oh, I understand now,” I said.

“Then disappear by yourself! I’ll let you leave alive if you leave this girlie behind,” the multi-colored hair continued.

I looked at the three young man in front of me coldly. It was clear that someone else put them up to this. I could be sure of this from their terrible acting and the fact that the thin-faced young man repeatedly looking towards the right.

It was my first day coming to Beichen, the only person I pissed off was that person called Zhou Yu.

Since I was sure of this, I decided to play with them till the end to see just what he was going to do.

“Ruoyun, cooperate with me no matter what I do,” I said quietly to Xu Ruoyun.

Although I haven’t been with her for a long time, the understanding between a couple wasn’t something that normal people could compare up to. That was why Xu Ruoyun understood very quickly.

Suddenly, I saw that thin-faced young man give me a cue. I momentarily blanked, then immediately understood.

“Ugh… Three big bros, this isn’t that good, right? She’s my girlfriend, I can’t leave her behind,” I said in a fake pitiful manner.

“Heh! Then you don’t want your life now?” the watermelon young man threatened.

“About this… I… Then will you guys hurt her?” I pretended like I was about to compromise.

“Hehe, don’t worry, we won’t kill her!” said the multi-colored hair.

“Yeah, us bros are just going to feel good with her. I’ll feel good, and she’ll feel good too!’ said green hair.

“It only truly feels good when everyone feels good!’ the watermelon young man continued.

“Oh, then alright. Let’s feel good together!” I said helplessly.

“Thanks. Bros, let’s go!” the multi-colored hair walked over with a lecherous smile.

“Wait!” At this moment, a voice shouted out and the person behind it appeared. The brat, Zhou Yu, walked out like a hero of the legends.

“Who the **** are you, you actually dare to interrupt in us bros’ business,” the thin faced young man pointed to Zhou Yu and said.

“Let her go. How dare to cause trouble in Beichen!” Zhou Yu said in a righteous manner.

“So what if we cause trouble here? How the heck is it your business?” The multi-colored hair rolled his eyes and said.

“Hmmph, I’m warning you guys, don’t kid with your life. I have limited patient, don’t make me angry!” Zhou Yu said in an awesome manner.

“Patience? Limit? Bros, this ****** thinks he’s Christ!” green hair said in a sinister manner.

“Since you are seeking death, then I will not hold back!” Zhou Yu posed coolly, then jumped in front of green-hair to hit him.

Green hair knocked Zhou Yu’s hand away easily, then said to the other people, “Bros, this ****** is seeking death, wreck him!”

With that, the thin-faced young man and multi-colored hair also surrounded him and started to beat up Zhou Yu.

“Don’t hit me…” Zhou Yu howled.

“Even someone like you dares to come and interrupt us? And try to save a beauty?!” the thin-faced young man beat him up even more.

“You guys are hitting the wrong person… Stop! It’s not me…” Zhou Yu couldn’t stand it anymore and started to beg for mercy. “Did that brat, Wang Di, not make it clear to you guys? He told you to teach that brat a lesson, I’m the hero that comes out to save the beauty… Ah, stop hitting me…”

“Hubby, what is he saying?” Xu Ruoyun also understood what was going on. So these three delinquents were people that Zhou Yu called over.

“They’re acting,” I said seriously.

“Oh,” Xu Ruoyun didn’t understand why Zhou Yu called people to hit him, but this had nothing to do with her, Zhou Yu could do whatever the hell he wants.
