Chapter 108: The Senior Who Drives a Maserati

~8 min read 1,448 words

Cheng Huaiyu did not seem to take Xu Heng's words to heart, and continued to chat enthusiastically with the other party.

Xu Heng did not pay much mind to it either; he had his own matters to attend to.

His life after rebirth had already slowly gotten onto the right track.

Having a girlfriend would certainly bring some changes to his daily routine, but Xu Heng did not feel there was much difference; it was about the same as his life after getting married and having a daughter in his previous life.

Jiang Mengyuan now came to find him whenever she had free time.

The first time they saw her come to find Xu Heng to go eat lunch together, Cheng Huaiyu and the others were dumbfounded.

Sheng Bo asked which major this girl was from to be so intimate with him.

Xu Heng told them the whole story about him and Jiang Mengyuan dating.

Cheng Huaiyu complained, "Old Xu, you're too disloyal. The only two girls in our club were snatched away by you so quietly."

Sheng Bo asked curiously what was going on with the club girls, and only later, through Cheng Huaiyu, did he learn that Cheng Huaiyu's Esports Club had actually recruited members this year, and they were two girls.

Jiang Mengyuan was the prettier one of the two girls.

A freshman, knows how to play games, with all sorts of factors combined, Sheng Bo could not help but feel a bit envious.

Just like that, Xu Heng was successfully kicked out of their dormitory's meal-eating group; now, he ate with Jiang Mengyuan every day.

When Jiang Mengyuan had no classes, she would even come to his classroom to sit through lectures with him. Many classmates in the class thus learned that Xu Heng had a new girlfriend, who appeared to be a freshman.

Some boys said sourly that it's different once you're famous; girls just throw themselves at you.

There were also girls who retorted that it was because Xu Heng had ability, and capable men naturally attracted girls.

In any case, these remarks did not affect the relationship between Xu Heng and Jiang Mengyuan.

As for Cheng Huaiyu, with Sheng Bo gone and Zhao Gaoyang also missing every other day, he was left sitting alone in the corner of the classroom, lamenting that Old Xu had such good luck—having broken up only a few months ago, he was already able to hook up with a pretty freshman.

While feeling unwilling, he also fantasized about winning his ex-girlfriend back as soon as possible.

He had completely forgotten that he was the one who got dumped by Dan Yuyue because he was chasing a freshman.

That was how Xu Heng lived: writing novels every day, supervising the company's development progress, and spending the rest of his time touching his girlfriend's legs during class, or playing kissing games with his girlfriend in an empty park after class.

He had not done or proposed anything further, yet the closer they were, the more intimate their relationship became.

Saturday, which was the third day after the Welcome Gala ended.

Xu Heng received a strange call showing it was from the Shanghai region.

Thinking of his rising popularity on the internet, he roughly guessed who the caller was.

"Hello."

The other side of the line was silent for a moment before a calm and cold female voice came through.

"Is this Xu Heng?"

Xu Heng looked up at Jiang Mengyuan, who was struggling with the drink menu in front of the milk tea shop counter, and replied slowly: "Yes, may I ask what this is about?"

"I got your phone number from Liu Yiyan. She should have told you about the script for Love is Not Blind; I would like to meet with you to discuss it," the woman said indifferently.

"That's fine, but I am busy with my studies and I'm afraid I can't go to Modu. Could you come to Jinling for a meeting?"

"I am in Jinling right now."

Xu Heng clicked his tongue in surprise.

He had not expected the other party to be so sincere; she had already rushed to Jinling ahead of time before even calling.

Since she had shown this much respect, Xu Heng did not make things difficult for her and gave her the location of the milk tea shop where he and Jiang Mengyuan were.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a flashy sky-blue Maserati pulled up in front of the milk tea shop.

Seeing this, Jiang Mengyuan said in surprise: "This car must cost a lot of money, right?"

Xu Heng said amusedly: "Why are you surprised? Your family's garage has plenty of cars more valuable than this."

"But I don't know how to drive. My dad said it's dangerous for girls to drive, so he didn't even let me get a driver's license. This sister is so young and can already drive a sports car; her family must be very rich," Jiang Mengyuan said as she saw a tall woman step out of the car.

"Indeed." Xu Heng, who knew the other party's identity, smiled and agreed.

Jiang Mengyuan muttered that it turned out rich sisters liked coming to milk tea shops, only to find the woman walking straight up to their booth and taking off her sunglasses.

"Xu Heng?"

The woman frowned slightly. Xu Heng had told her about his attire over the phone, so he was not hard to find, but he hadn't mentioned that there was another girl here.

Xu Heng nodded, introduced Jiang Mengyuan, and said that this was his girlfriend and he had just brought her out to hang out.

"Ren Man." Ren Man reached out politely and said indifferently, "Nice to meet you."

Jiang Mengyuan never imagined that this beautiful, moving sister, dressed in an OL uniform and wearing mature and sexy black silk stockings, was here to find her boyfriend.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the warning from her roommate Chang Lingling, and immediately hugged Xu Heng's arm vigilantly, like a little hen protecting her chick.

Seeing this, Ren Man smiled calmly: "Don't worry, little girl, I'm not here to steal your boyfriend. I just have some business secrets to discuss with your boyfriend. Could you please step aside for a moment?"

Jiang Mengyuan did not speak, but shook her head desperately.

Xu Heng patted her head, turned to Ren Man and said: "Senior Ren Man, Yuanyuan is practically my better half; just let her listen here, it won't have any impact."

Since Xu Heng had said so, Ren Man naturally had no objections.

Jiang Mengyuan, who was to the side, was quite moved by Xu Heng taking such good care of her, and pressed her "green pasture" even closer to Xu Heng's arm.

"I really like the script for Love is Not Blind. If possible, I want to buy its full copyright. My company has a complete production team, including a film shooting team and a post-production and distribution team. Handing this script to me can maximize its value. As for money, it's not an issue; a few million, you can name your price."

Ren Man did not beat around the bush and stated her purpose for coming here directly. Her offer was even higher than what Liu Yiyan had mentioned last time; she told him to name his price for a few million, meaning even if Xu Heng wanted 9.99 million, it would be fine.

But Xu Heng shook his head with a smile: "Cooperation is possible, but the leading authority must remain with me. I can allow you to invest in or film this movie, but the profits from the movie must be split 70/30. The production company must also be in the name of my company. As for the actors, they must be vetted and approved by me before they can join the crew. Of course, you can have your company's film production team serve this movie, and I will cover the labor costs. If you can accept these conditions, I will let you participate in the film planning for Love is Not Blind."

Hearing this, Ren Man's brows furrowed even deeper.

Xu Heng was undoubtedly asking for the moon; he wanted her resources while also wanting to keep the movie firmly under his own control.

Moreover, the profit share for her company was only 30 percent, and it was unknown how much investment would be required to obtain that 30 percent.

So Ren Man asked: "How much do I need to invest for a 30 percent share?"

"Five million." Xu Heng stated an exaggerated figure and added firmly, "Not a penny less."
