Unexpected.
Su Yunbing actually agreed directly.
She immediately rushed to the Cyan Dragon Alley community.
This was Hang Yu's first encounter with the goddess recognized by the entire school.
He now had to admit, even in this age of information explosion, having seen internet celebrities, stars, and various actresses, Su Yunbing was still the most perfect and sexy woman he'd ever met.
Teacher Su's height was around 170 centimeters, her skin was like cream, eyes as clear as spring water, with an incredibly voluptuous body, a round and firm chest with a tight contour, and a waist slender enough to grip, like a water snake, making her hip and waist curves remarkably visually striking.
Her stunningly long legs were round and slender, with perfect lines.
Her walk had a large sway to the hips and waist, almost like that of a model, yet it seemed very natural, never giving the impression of deliberate flirtation.
In summary.
She was alluring down to her bones.
Yet her every movement exuded intelligence and a mature charm.
Su Yunbing's appearance was also flawless, and she never used any makeup. Perhaps to make herself appear more serious, to cover the natural allure she was born with, she usually wore a pair of black-framed glasses and a modest black suit.
Compared to the relatively naive Classmate Jiang Nan.
She could better stimulate a man's imagination!
...
At this moment.
It was already dark.
Su Yunbing arrived alone at the designated location.
There was no one around, weeds were everywhere, deep and dark, the streetlamp covers were mossy, the light was very dim and eerie, the night not only witnessed the frequent scuttling of snakes, insects, and rats but was also the time when certain criminals were most active.
Not to mention a lovely young woman.
Even a young man wouldn't dare step in here casually, right?
Su Yunbing adjusted her black-framed glasses, unemotionally scanning the derelict buildings.
She couldn't help being a bit puzzled; could that kid be messing with me? At that moment, something strange and even horrific happened.
About three meters in front of Su Yunbing.
A human-shaped silhouette suddenly appeared.
This silhouette materialized from nothing, from transparent to clear, gradually emerging into a delicate-looking young man who appeared out of nowhere.
"Hello, Teacher Su, I'm Hang Yu."
Spirit Realm's skills?
Is he trying to intimidate me?
Young man, aren't you a bit too arrogant!
Several thoughts flashed through Su Yunbing's mind, but she dared not be careless.
From the video of the kid riding a bicycle in the square hunting pheasants, he must have already leveled up to 2. When gathering food, he used the Collection Skill, and the knife he used was clearly of good quality Spirit Realm equipment.
Putting all these together.
Su Yunbing adjusted her glasses.
Brilliance refracted from the lenses.
Hang Yu might have reached level 2 the first time the Spirit Realm opened, now possessing more than two skills, at least one white weapon brought into this world... if my guess is correct, it really is a bit terrifying.
Despite her thoughts racing, Su Yunbing maintained a calm exterior, always looking like an ice mountain, only politely extending her hand for a shake with Hang Yu, "Nice to meet you."
Calm! Restrained! Perceptive!
Hang Yu's first impression of Su Yunbing.
Sneaking over and suddenly appearing, he hoped to give her a scare, to satisfy his quirky sense of humor.
In such an atmosphere, any woman might scream and flee.
She was a human aphrodisiac, the number one goddess at Jiang University, a high-cold, fair-rich-beautiful.
To see her panic-stricken would be quite amusing.
The result was completely unexpected; she didn't even blink.
Quite the lack of face, huh? Does this woman not know fear?
Why is she so emboldened?
Hang Yu felt a slight apprehension, though he didn't display it: "Did you come for something, Teacher?"
Hang Yu felt some apprehension towards Su Yunbing.
And didn't Su Yunbing feel the same towards him?
But Su Yunbing was an extremely intelligent woman.
Daring to come to the appointment alone, she had the confidence to protect herself, so she spoke in an unhurried yet firm tone, "I see great potential in your and Classmate Pang's startup project, and I sincerely hope to establish a collaboration. I plan to buy your studio for ten million, what do you think?"
Hang Yu hadn't expected her to be so direct.
Opening with ten million?
She truly is a super fair-rich-beautiful!
Legend says Teacher Su's family is very wealthy, and now it seems to be true indeed.
Hang Yu shrugged, unmoved, "If Teacher Su came with the intention of buying us out, I think there's not much more to discuss."
Rejected? This was expected.
But Hang Yu's firmness took Su Yunbing by surprise.
"I hope you'll reconsider. I have the ability, the connections, and the resources to take you further."
Su Yunbing saw Hang Yu about to refuse.
She adjusted her black-framed glasses, suddenly sped up her speech, and jumped in to say:
"Of course, if you don't agree to the acquisition, I can understand. But as I mentioned earlier, I am very optimistic about you guys. I'm still willing to offer ten million, just to buy fifty percent of your shares. You and your team must stay."
Su Yunbing was rather proud.
As if she's the only one with ability, connections, and resources.
Not to brag, but Hang Yu could make a call to Old Zhao, sell him a few Crystal Stones, and get millions in no time; would he really care about this kind of money?
"Teacher Su, there's no way we can talk about this."
"Forty percent... I believe you already foresee the future landscape. You should be aware that with just two people, it's hard to survive the competition among various forces. You need a strong backing," Su Yunbing said clearly and slowly, "I can be your backing. I'm willing to fully support your development and growth!"
Why don't you just say you want to keep me?
Really don't need this so-called backing.
Hang Yu still shook his head and said, "Teacher Su, times have changed. Who says a salted fish can't turn over? I don't think we need to rely on anyone to survive."
"Thirty percent!"
Su Yunbing was determined to invest.
But to be fair, her sincerity was quite sufficient.
After all, Hang Yu and Fatty's studio was just established for a few days, everything was still in the initial stages, and no performance had been delivered. Yet Su Yunbing directly gave them a fivefold valuation.
But, unfortunately...
Hang Yu was resolute in his refusal.
Because he didn't want to align with any force.
"Even if it's one million for thirty percent of the shares, I wouldn't sell even ten percent." Hang Yu refused without hesitation, "We can discuss cooperation, but shareholding is out of the question. I'm not accepting any investment now."
Su Yunbing's face rarely showed a change in expression.
She had never been rejected so flatly before.
Her clear eyes stared at Hang Yu, as if trying to see through his heart.
Why reject the investment? With a million in funding, they could open more branches, recruit more production talent, expand production scale, and gain market share. Isn't that a good thing?
Su Yunbing had investigated Hang Yu's background. His parents died in a car accident early on, and he lived in hardship, relying on work-study during university to maintain his living expenses. After graduation, he still didn't live comfortably.
How could someone like this be indifferent to a million?
But the more someone is like this, the more it makes Su Yunbing wary.
Under what circumstances does a person suppress their nature, refusing temptations from power, money, and beauty? It's when he believes he'll get more in the future, that he's willing to forego current benefits. Such people are not only confident and arrogant but also very ambitious.
"Aren't you afraid of having one more competitor?" Su Yunbing probed in another way when Hang Yu seemed impervious, "I already understand the importance of Spiritual Food. This million can be invested in you, and, naturally, it can also be invested in anyone else."
"Haha, Teacher Su loves to joke. Jiang City has more than a million people. Such a large market—even if we're talented, we can't possibly take it all in. There really is no such thing as a competitor." Hang Yu laughed freely and then acted mysterious, "Besides, I'm sure Teacher Su will eventually come to seek me out."
"You're very confident."
"Of course, because a confident man is always the most handsome."
"..." Su Yunbing was momentarily at a loss for words. She was silent for two seconds before continuing, "What you said isn't wrong. I hope we'll be friends in the future and not become enemies."
The talks fell apart.
Su Yunbing didn't achieve her goal.
But they still added each other on WeChat.
In the future, they can help each other with anything.
They chatted about various odds and ends for a few minutes, and Su Yunbing was preparing to leave.
But just at that moment, three figures blocked the alley entrance: one thin, one stocky, and leading them was a fierce-looking bald man.
"You two up ahead, stop right there!"
"Hand over everything you have on you!"
"Hurry up or don't blame me for being rude!"
"Be quiet and don't move, and you'll be fine. We just want money, not to hurt anyone!"
Both Hang Yu and Su Yunbing were stunned. They didn't expect such poor security that they'd encounter a robbery just by taking a few steps.
The two exchanged a glance, remaining calm and showing no panic.
Obviously, neither of them took these petty thieves seriously.
Hang Yu said, "Teacher Su, although our chat today was enjoyable, the Spirit Realm will open again in a few hours. How about you head back early to prepare?"
Su Yunbing looked at the people ahead, "Need any help?"
"Haha, small fry, no need."
"Then be careful yourself."
The moment she spoke the last word, there was a bang, and she disappeared.
Yes, a living person vanished like a popped bubble, without a trace, as if she never existed.
Hang Yu, unprepared, was taken aback.
He distinctly noticed that just before Su Yunbing disappeared, a mischievous smile flashed on her lips.
