Chapter 91: Making Up?

Honestly, until now, Dan Yuyue is still a bit dazed.

Although they are already sophomores and are worlds apart from those greenhorns who just entered university, that doesn't mean they have completely detached themselves from their status as students.

University students, after all, just have a slightly easier academic load than in high school, a bit more time to play, and aren't managed by parents or teachers, so they have quite a bit of freedom.

Almost no university students would consider engaging in commercial activities during their college years; at most, they do part-time tutoring, and wait until their senior year to go intern at someone else's company to gain experience.

After all, engaging in commercial activities requires capital, and over ninety-five percent of people have no capital.

And in Dan Yuyue's perception, Xu Heng is just an honest and dutiful good student, whose family background is neither particularly good nor particularly bad.

But now, being told that Xu Heng has actually opened a company outside of school, doesn't that mean that while they are still in school worrying about final exams, Xu Heng is already a big boss?

This is too surreal!

She doesn't know if running a company is difficult, but to open such a company in the bustling commercial district of Jinling, the capital investment must be at least seven figures, right?

A twenty-year-old half-university student, who doesn't even know if his hair has fully grown in yet, can actually come up with millions to open a company.

At this moment, Dan Yuyue feels nothing but shock.

She asks in disbelief: "Xu Heng, where did you get so much money to open a company?"

"I made some money playing the stock market a while ago, and I felt that I couldn't rely on the stock market for a lifetime, so I might as well take the money I earned and start some real business," Xu Heng laughed.

"Made money in the stock market? How much did you make?"

"Not much, just four or five million, and I dumped it all into the company," Xu Heng still kept his guard up and only stated a relatively conservative figure.

Dan Yuyue swallowed her saliva and said dryly: "Just... four, four or five million."

Four or five million—that is money many people will never earn in a lifetime, yet coming out of Xu Heng's mouth, it sounds like a few hundred.

Thinking of this, Dan Yuyue gave a bitter smile and said: "I didn't expect that after just one summer vacation, you would change so much. Last semester, when you were dating Ying Ziyun, you even asked me where you could work part-time to earn more money because you wanted to get some cash to buy Ying Ziyun a gift."

Xu Heng's expression was calm: "People always have to look forward. After Ying Ziyun became a thing of the past, I put my focus on myself. I can't spend all four years of university with my heart set on a woman, don't you think?"

"Tsk, why do you sound so old-fashioned now?" After teasing him, Dan Yuyue asked, "By the way, what industry is your company in?"

"The tabletop game and card design industry."

"Tabletop games?"

"Monopoly is a type of tabletop game. Yu-Gi-Oh!, which you watched when you were a kid, is also a tabletop game. And Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons—they all belong to tabletop games."

Xu Heng knew that many people in the mainland during this era had not yet been baptized by *Legends of the Three Kingdoms*, and felt very vague about the definition of the term "tabletop game."

In fact, a concrete explanation of a tabletop game is a multiplayer desktop game, and cards are just a major category of tabletop games. Like Monopoly, which has been very popular in the last two years, it also counts as a tabletop game.

So after mentioning Monopoly, Dan Yuyue understood immediately: "Won't you lose money doing such a niche product?"

Xu Heng said: "Whether you lose money or not depends on the market's acceptance of your tabletop game. If many people play it, you basically won't lose money. If everyone dislikes the gameplay of your tabletop game, then bankruptcy is just a matter of a year or so."

"Xu Heng, I think you should ask our school to help you promote it." In Dan Yuyue's view, opening a company is a big deal, and having the school as a backer would significantly lower the risks that need to be assumed.

Xu Heng, however, shook his head and said it wasn't necessary.

*Legends of the Three Kingdoms*, including *Ultraman Duel*, are meant to be expanded to the national market. Promotion from a small Jin Da wouldn't have much effect, at most just getting a few more students at Jin Da to buy his company's products.

When *Legends of the Three Kingdoms* is actually released, he will spend money specifically to arrange for various media and various promotional advertisements to build momentum for it; these are things that have been discussed with Huang Kai in advance.

Dan Yuyue is too naive; she doesn't understand the complex ins and outs of business at all.

"Sigh, you're a big boss now. You definitely won't listen to what us little women have to say. Don't come crying to me in regret when you go bankrupt later," Dan Yuyue teased.

Xu Heng rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "My company's first product hasn't even been released yet and you're cursing me with bankruptcy? What are your intentions? If I had known, I should have left you on the side of the road last night to sleep in a nest with a stray dog."

"Who's afraid of whom? If you had dared to throw me on the side of the road yesterday, I would have dared to block your dormitory building and tell everyone you slept with me," Dan Yuyue said with a huff, hands on her hips.

"My memory isn't very good. Why don't you tell me about that... bed-wetting incident last night."

"Damn you, Xu Heng! You're not going to let the bed-wetting thing go, are you?"

"..."

Xu Heng and Dan Yuyue didn't linger at Xianwan Company for long; they both had classes at ten in the morning and had to return to school before then.

After the two left, several young girls in the company whispered to each other, wondering who that woman was and why she came out of the boss's office so early in the morning.

"Could it be a new secretary the boss hired?"

"She looks quite pretty, it's really possible."

"Wow, what a pity. The boss is young, handsome, and rich; why didn't he choose me as his secretary? Sob sob."

"It's fine, a secretary is just a mistress; you can directly take the position of the boss's official girlfriend."

"That's easy to say, why don't you go then!"

"My looks aren't good enough."

Regarding the pretty girl who appeared out of thin air next to the boss, there were many guesses in the company; some said she was a little secretary, others said she was the boss's girlfriend.

Among them, the girl who helped buy the underwear revealed even more shocking news, saying that the boss and that girl might have slept together last night; otherwise, why would he ask her to help buy underwear?

It must be because they got the clothes inside dirty or tore them while doing that kind of thing, so they needed to buy new ones.

Damn!

This news was explosive enough to make the atmosphere of discussion in the office even more heated.

Some even had the guts to chat about what positions the two of them used last night, and the content gradually became indecent.

Finally, a manager promoted by Xu Heng stood up and said coldly: "What are you arguing about? Are you not going to do your work? Did the boss pay you to come here and gossip? No chatting during work hours, all of you shut up and get back to work."

This finally stopped the commotion.

Xu Heng himself did not know about this; at this time, he had already returned to his dormitory, preparing to brush his teeth and wash his face.

He was greeted by the jeers of the other three in the dormitory.

"Incredible, Old Xu, truly incredible," Sheng Bo gave a thumbs up, "I, Sheng Bo, am willing to call you the strongest in the love field."

Zhao Gaoyang asked impatiently: "What base?"

"Idiot, that's clearly a home run," Cheng Huaiyu slapped Zhao Gaoyang on the head, then looked at Xu Heng, "Old Xu, did you really make up with Ying Ziyun?"

"Uh..." Xu Heng suddenly didn't know how to answer him best.
