We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

Whether this person is genuinely stupid or feigning madness, since they didn't completely rule it out and left the possibility of "we'll talk about it another time," it means there's still room for communication.

When dealing with such an unpredictable "oddball," a head-on confrontation or putting on airs like a big company is obviously not going to work; you have to go along with their attitude.

She carefully chose her words, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the screen, her tone much gentler than before, even carrying a hint of tentative guidance:

"Mr. Chen is quite humorous (smiles). Since you currently have ample funds, we can indeed set aside money for now."

"However, EA can offer more than just funding; it also provides top-tier global marketing channels, localized packaging, and technical support."

"I wonder what stage you mean by 'opportunity'? At what stage do you expect it to arrive?"

"If you have concerns about our cooperation model, we can completely set aside the standard contract and discuss things according to your ideas."

Click to send.

Looking at her own sincere and even somewhat humble message in the chat box, Xia Meng let out a soft breath.

After the message was sent, it was like throwing a stone into the sea; the other party's avatar remained grayed out, and there was no response.

This time, however, Xia Meng was neither impatient nor did she smash her phone.

She gently placed her phone on the leather sofa, picked up the slightly chilled glass of red wine beside her, took a sip, and gazed intently at the night outside the window.

Dealing with this guy with such a peculiar way of thinking seems like a long-term battle.

Xia Meng has never failed to secure a project she set her sights on.

The message has been sent.

Stone sinks into the sea.

Ten minutes passed, and the screen remained silent.

The other party not only did not reply, but did not even look at it.

Xia Meng was so angry that she slammed her phone onto the leather sofa, then kicked her long legs and stood up abruptly.

I walked back and forth in the living room twice.

The more I think about it, the more unwilling I am to accept it.

This unprecedented sense of frustration, on the contrary, completely ignited the competitive spirit and desire for conquest inherent in this aloof and sophisticated woman.

This unprecedented sense of frustration, on the contrary, completely ignited the competitive spirit and desire for conquest inherent in this aloof and sophisticated woman.

"Fine. You've got guts."

Xia Meng sneered, picked up her phone, and dialed her subordinate's number directly.

The phone was answered after two rings, and a hesitant male voice came from the other end: "Anna, it's so late..."

"Have you figured out the details of that 'Starry Sky Interactive' company that I asked you to investigate?" Xia Meng interrupted directly, her tone extremely assertive and capable.

"I...I've found out." The subordinate reported quickly on the other end of the phone, flipping through documents.

"I did a business registration investigation, and this company was just registered in Shanghai. It has no background with any large companies or investors. The registered capital is five million, with one million actually paid in. The legal representative and sole shareholder is named Ye Chen."

Xia Meng narrowed her eyes.

Ye Chen?

A lone wolf without any financial backing? He's finally revealed his true colors from behind the internet.

"Where is the office located?" Xia Meng pressed on.

"It's in Room 1201, Building A, Zhangjiang Integrated Circuit Port. But Anna, according to the information from the business registration office, this company has only been established for less than half a month, and they haven't even opened all their social security accounts yet. It perfectly fits the characteristics of a shell company..."

"understood."

Xia Meng didn't waste any more words and hung up the phone directly.

She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the endless stream of cars outside.

Zhangjiang Integrated Circuit Port.

She knew this place very well; many well-known game companies in China were located in that industrial park.

Now that a physical company has been established in the country, there's no escaping it.

A young nouveau riche hiding behind a screen spouting nonsense, got lucky and stumbled upon a hit product, really thinks he can stir up some waves in the face of capital?

Not short of money?

Once they actually put a multi-million dollar acquisition contract on the table, let's see if you can still be so tough.

Xia Meng picked up the wine glass on the coffee table again and drank it all in one gulp.

He turned and walked towards the dressing room.

She flung open the closet door, her fingers darting across the hangers before finally picking out a strikingly imposing haute couture business suit and tossing it onto the bed.

I sent a command to my assistant using my phone.

"Cancel tomorrow's internal meeting. At nine o'clock in the morning, bring the letter of intent and come with me to Zhangjiang Integrated Circuit Port."

After sending the message, Xia Meng looked at her cold and assertive self in the mirror.

"Ye Chen, is it? Tomorrow I'll see for myself just how rich you really are."

The female dormitory of the Foreign Languages ​​Department of Jiaotong University.

The dormitory building was already past the lights-out time at 10 o'clock, and the only light source was the small desk lamps on each student's desk.

The old ceiling fan creaked and groaned as it blew air down, trying to dispel the sweltering heat of the military training season.

The four girls, who had finished washing up, were still awake.

This is the prime time for late-night chats in the dorm, and the air is filled with the mixed fragrance of various skincare products.

Wang Yao, with a black seaweed face mask on, was sitting sprawled out in the computer chair in front of the desk below, carefully smoothing the edges with a small mirror.

"Hey, did you guys see that on the playground during the day?" Wang Yao was wearing a face mask, so she didn't dare to open her mouth wide when she spoke, and her voice sounded muffled.

"Ye Chen from Lao Lu's dorm has completely stolen the spotlight from this year's cohort."

"When we ate together before, how come I didn't realize he was so popular with women?"

Li Meng, who was sitting at the desk opposite, was massaging her sore calves. She nodded repeatedly when she heard this.

"I saw it! With such a loud commotion, who wouldn't be blind to see it?"

"I heard that many senior students in our school pursue Li Xue, a junior, but she ignores them completely."

"Today, he actually went to the front of our freshmen military training formation and, in front of hundreds of people, gave our handsome Ye a chilled sports drink!"

Wang Yao spun around in her chair, her gossip spirit burning brightly: "Yes, yes, yes! And did you guys notice Li Xue's outfit today? That tight white knit top, paired with super short hot pants, her legs were showing so much."

"We were standing there in our tattered training uniforms, getting sunburned like dogs, while other girls dressed up and fawned over Ye Chen, saying things like 'Senior sister will protect you,' their voices were so sweet they made my bones melt."

Li Meng pouted: "What's so special about this? Didn't you see there's a boy next to us?"

"At the time, the boy thought the senior was coming to find him, and he even reached out his hand. But the senior didn't even look at him and walked right past him to find Ye Chen."

"That guy's face turned green; he was practically ready to crawl into a hole in the ground on the playground."

The two of them lowered their voices and burst into laughter.

A soft tapping sound came from the seat diagonally opposite.
