"Set your terms! As long as you pull out of this investment, I''ll agree to anything you want!"


    Zhu Yn crossed her arms, looking down at Xu Musen from on high.


    Xu Musen stroked his chin. Find more adventures on m-v|-NovelBin


    "Any conditions?"


    His gaze lingered on the girl, and although he felt a bit disappointed by the curves at her chest, her face was quite lovely, and she was tall too, her legs under the long skirt were fair and slender.


    He couldn''t shake the feeling that her EQ wasn''t quite there though.


    If An Nuannuan was a bit silly, then this girl was really quite, well, rough around the edges.


    "Of course, I''m Zhu Yn and I always keep my word!"


    Zhu Yn thought he was tempted and let out a haughty snort in her heart, feeling quite proud of herself.


    "Alright, then be my girlfriend."


    Xu Musen''s tone shifted suddenly, adopting an innocent smile.


    "I didn''t hear... What?!"


    Zhu Yn instinctively agreed, but then her eyes widened in shock the next instant!


    Her pretty face instantly turned as red as if it were dyed; she stepped back, her gaze filled with shock and wariness.


    "You, you can''t be serious; I''m not that kind of girl, I haven''t even had a... "


    Zhu Yn''s thoughts were in utter disarray as she continued to mutter.


    "If you can''t do it, then let''s not talk, goodbye."


    Xu Musen waved his hand dismissively and walked right past her.


    Indeed, the two ultimate moves in dealing with girls.


    Confessing, borrowing money.


    Works every time.


    Meanwhile, Zhu Yn stood rooted to the spot, stomping her foot in a tantrum as she watched his figure disappear around the corridor corner.


    "Rascal, jerk, scoundrel!"


    Xu Musen''s remark hadpletely thrown off all her preparations.


    Fuming, she turned on her heel and left.


    But as she passed the corner of the staircase, she almost bumped into a soft embrace.


    "Ah, I''m sorry..."


    Zhu Yn began to apologize, and the moment she looked up, she met a pair of dark, captivating phoenix eyes.


    Such a beautiful girl.


    Though Zhu Yn was quite proud of herself, she couldn''t help but admire the girl before her.


    Yao Mingyue said nothing but squinted her phoenix eyes and took in Zhu Yn from head to toe.


    Somehow, despite the summer heat, Zhu Yn felt a chill run down her spine.


    The darkness in Yao Mingyue''s eyes seemed to recede a bit after a nce at Zhu Yn''s chest.


    "Are you friends with the guy from before?"


    Yao Mingyue spoke faintly, but her gaze held an indefinable pressure.


    "Friends? I would never want to be friends with him!"


    Zhu Yn was still fuming at the memory of his words.


    Yao Mingyue nodded at this, but there remained a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes as she silently turned and walked away.


    "What a weirdo..."


    Zhu Yn stood still, puzzled by the departing figure.


    ...


    At that moment, in the office.


    "Was it you who cleaned my room yesterday?"


    Bai Xin was dressed in a light cyan dress that day, radiating a sisterly charm rather than her usual polished elegance.


    "It was me. You''re not suspecting me of stealing something, are you, Aunt Bai?" Xu Musen replied with a smile.


    Bai Xin rolled her eyes, realizing that she had indeed misced a pair of socks yesterday.


    But looking at Xu Musen, with his open and bright appearance, she doubted he was a fetishist.


    She said, "I just didn''t expect a guy to be so meticulous with housework, and you can cook too."


    "Multiple skills do not weigh one down."


    Xu Musen certainly wouldn''t admit that his skills had been honed by dealing with his past little "sickly darling."


    Many of the things he was doing now were actually to his advantage, thanks to the skills that Yao Mingyue had nurtured in him in his previous life.


    Otherwise, in hisst life, he would have just been a poor programmer, and by the age of thirty-five, both his job and his hairline would have been "optimized" away by thepany.


    Every coin has two sides, indeed.


    Bai Xin looked at him, silently set down her coffee cup, and signed his investment proposal.


    "You shouldn''t have any issues with the bidding this time, but you still need to pay attention to details and not be too arrogant. Plus, several students have quite good entrepreneurial proposals.


    The military training ceremony will be split into several events, and if you advertise everywhere, you''ll waste resources due to ovep. So, I suggest you make it mutually beneficial."


    Bai Xin shared her advice; the school wasrge and even if you secured sponsorship for advertising, you couldn''t possibly cover every ce.


    Firstly, it would be a waste of resources, and secondly, advertising costs money—the sponsorship funds are only around a hundred thousand yuan, which isn''t enough to throw around without care.


    This was the time to bring others into the fold for advertising, setting the terms yourself.


    For instance, offering a finder''s fee, or requiring mention of yourpany when others advertise, which could reduce costs and boost visibility.


    It''s also good for making connections, which maye in handy if someone''spany takes off in the future.


    Xu Musen nodded; this was new to him.


    And then, he had an idea involving someone.


    Xu Musen, holding the document, went to submit the application form.


    In the office building, Xu Musen indeed encountered Zhu Yn again.


    But this time, Zhu Yn avoided him as soon as she saw him.


    Xu Musen, however, greeted her with a cheery approach.


    "Zhu, wait, don''t go! "


    "Tch! Give it up, you sleazebag, there''s no way I''ll agree to it!"


    Zhu Yn blushed at the sight of him, though it was out of anger.


    "I was just joking earlier. Actually, I thought about it, and as ssmates, we should help each other out. I''ve got an idea, do you wanna hear it?"
