The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 78 Yes, I am capital.
I just finished a phone call with Xu Hongdou when I received a text message from Ma Qiushan.

"Good news or even better news, which would you like to hear first?"

Perhaps because he hadn't received Yang Muye's reply, Ma Qiushan sent another text message a few minutes later.

"I negotiated the price down to 550 million, which is good news. And the even better news is that Tencent has offered to pre-order our next social mini-game for no less than 550 million, with the right of first refusal."

After reading it, Yang Muye picked up his phone and replied:
"Making empty promises? You're telling me this is better news?"

Marchusan quickly replied, "I think our Farm series will be a huge hit. Although I didn't reveal the specific development details during the negotiations, I showed extraordinary confidence on site, and Penguin was eventually moved by my strong emotional appeal."

The words convey two key meanings.

Gone!

"You might as well say that the penguin is spending a fortune to buy a horse bone. No doubt about it, you are that horse bone."

"It's okay if you don't believe me, but I, Ma, keep my word. I'll do whatever you say I've promised, and I'll never go back on my word. So, shall we sign this contract?"

"sign."

“Okay, I’ll reply to them now and sign the contract tomorrow morning. Then I’ll book a flight back to Yanjing for tomorrow afternoon.”

Just as Yang Muyi was about to put his phone down, Ma Qiushan sent another text message.

Is there a welcome banquet?

"School starts tomorrow, I'm busy."

"That's perfect. I have an appointment to meet someone at your school tomorrow. Could you recommend a good cafeteria?"

"Gu Jia?"

"Yes, and that girl who walked with you last time, I think her name is Zhu Suosuo."

"About that entrepreneurship lecture?"

"We mainly talked about that matter, and also discussed some other things along the way."

After waiting for a while without any further response, Ma Qiushan realized that Yang Muye was not interested in the matter, so he took the initiative to send another text message.

Aren't you curious about what it is?

The text message was sent but never received.

Finally, Ma Qiushan couldn't hold back any longer and sent another text message to explain: "Gu Jia told me that you wrote a song yourself, and it's really good. She also said that you're going to participate in your college's welcome party. Right now, there's still a big sponsorship gap. I thought that if you're going to perform, the stage and sound system can't be too shabby, so I decided to personally sponsor your college's welcome party with 100,000 yuan in the name of our Shanye Technology. What do you think?"

This time, Yang Muye replied instantly.

"I think you're foolish and rich, but as long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

After reading the text message, Ma Qiushan was immediately distraught.

Evening, in the small banquet hall on the second floor of the Fairfield by Marriott Hotel.

When Xu Hongdou and her three roommates entered the dormitory, they found that everyone else was already there.

"Sister Red Bean!"

Zixuan jumped off the chair and skipped and hopped towards the door.

Just as Xu Hongdou was about to squat down to greet Zixuan, Chen Nanxing suddenly appeared, stepped forward, and forcibly picked Zixuan up.

"red beans!"

Gao Yunyue waved, signaling Xu Hongdou to sit in the empty seat next to her.

Seeing this, Chen Nanxing had no choice but to return Zixuan, who was still wriggling and struggling in his arms, to Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou carried Zixuan to sit down next to Gao Yunyue, and Chen Nanxing, Xia Qing, and Yang Zixi also sat down in the adjacent seats in turn.

Cheng Feng, who was sitting next to Yang Muye, saw that Xia Qing was sitting opposite him and immediately teased, "Our two dorms are really destined to meet, eating together for three days in a row." Xia Qing sighed helplessly.

"Yeah, just looking at your face makes me feel full."

Liu Qing, now dressed in casual clothes, turned to look at Yang Muye, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.

The person who answered her was still Cheng Feng.

"But no, we had a dinner party between our two dorms on Friday night, and the class committees of both classes had a barbecue together on Saturday night. Today, Makino's mom is treating both of our dorms to dinner again. I feel like we're all becoming dinner buddies."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Qing asked, "Cheng Feng, who is this beautiful lady?"

Neither she nor Yang Zixi were in the dormitory that afternoon, and they didn't see Liu Qing.

"You're blind to my worth, aren't you? This is Liu Qing, a senior in our college, and the president of the Business School Student Union!"

Liu Qing hurriedly waved her hand: "In another month or so, I will be the former president. I no longer have any business with the student council. All that's left is to go through the handover process."

Xia Qing stood up and offered her hand.

"Senior Liu, I've heard so much about you!"

Liu Qing was a well-known figure in the student union and even the entire business school. Xia Qing had heard many stories about Liu Qing from the senior students she met when she registered.

Liu Qing also stood up and shook hands with Xia Qing.

Yang Zixi is the same.

Once the three of them sat down, the topic returned to Gao Yunyue.

Xia Qing, Yang Zixi, and Chen Nanxing kept praising Gao Yunyue for her beauty and good temperament, their words full of envy for Yang Muye.

After all, who wouldn't want a mother who is "rich and powerful"?
Gao Yunyue asked the waiter to open a bottle of red wine, raised her glass first, and wished everyone present success in their studies.

Let's all raise our glasses.

At this moment, Cheng Feng quipped, "Thank you, Auntie, but I don't have such high expectations. Getting into Yanjingmao is already a stroke of good luck for me. My goal for the four years of university is just not to fail any courses."

Across from her, Xia Qing said with a look of disdain, "Can't you have any ambition?"

Cheng Feng said nonchalantly, "I call this self-awareness."

Seeing that the two were bickering endlessly, Yang Muyi had no choice but to change his toast: "My goal is similar to Crazy's, just to graduate smoothly. I wish everyone good luck on their exams!"

Ten wine glasses clinked together.

After finishing his drink and putting down his glass, Liu Qing asked Yang Muyi, "Are you really planning to stay at school for four years?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook? He started his business in his sophomore year of college and dropped out of college in his junior year to focus on his career."

"I know, that guy with the pockmarks is just creating a persona, and he's even copying Bill Gates. But investors in Silicon Valley buy into that. But it's different in China. Look at these internet giants now, which one of them dropped out of school halfway through? At least they all finished their undergraduate studies."

"I think that's because during their undergraduate years, none of those internet giants had such a high starting point as you. If they had achieved what you have when they started out, do you think they would have dropped out of school?"

"So I need to set an example for those who come after me: going to school and starting a business are not mutually exclusive."

After Yang Muye finished speaking, Cheng Feng, Shi Xiaomeng, and Wu Di were about to applaud and cheer when Xu Hongdou, sitting next to Gao Yunyue, suddenly blurted out:
"You think there's no conflict between going to school and starting a business because what you're doing isn't starting a business at all; it's clearly investing."

"well said!"

Liu Qing led the applause, while her beautiful eyes curiously darted back and forth between Xu Hongdou and Yang Muye.

These two clearly weren't that close, yet they could still banter with each other as if it were perfectly natural.

It's just weird.
