The next few days were quite busy for Tang Yuan.
After multiple discussions between Huang Bin and the college, the college approved Tang Yuan's dormitory renovation plan. So, on the second day of classes, Tang Yuan moved out of the dormitory with Guan Yuntao and checked into a five-star hotel near the school.
At the same time, the design and renovation company selected by Tang Yuan from the list provided by China Merchants Bank immediately began work. To complete the project in the shortest possible time, Tang Yuan, who currently commanded a cash flow of nearly 900 million, directly activated his special skill of 'approaching with billions'. He had the design and renovation company send more construction workers, and while ensuring quality and quantity, the construction period was compressed from the initial half a month to five days.
During this period, Tang Yuan also took some time to visit Fang Rong's clothing studio.
Facing Tang Yuan's arrival, Fang Rong gave it great importance. She not only personally welcomed Tang Yuan but also personally led him on a tour of their clothing studio's design department, tailoring department, material department, and other sections.
After the tour, even with Tang Yuan's foresight from his previous life, he had to admit that Fang Rong's clothing studio was indeed very professional. Whether it was the design or the craftsmanship, Tang Yuan was very satisfied.
Therefore, on the day of the visit, Tang Yuan directly ordered 10 sets of clothes from Fang Rong, ranging from formal wear suitable for official occasions to casual wear for daily use. All were custom-made, and the fabrics used were all top-grade.
For these 10 sets of clothes, Tang Yuan paid 800,000 just for the deposit.
For an entire week, Tang Yuan's daily life was very regular. During the day, he was either attending classes or supervising the dormitory renovation process. In the evenings, back at the hotel, he would either drag Guan Yuntao to play "PUBG" in the room or curl up in bed to read.
Tang Yuan felt exceptionally satisfied and comfortable with this kind of 'unambitious' life in the eyes of the world. And in his leisure time, the back-and-forth between Tang Yuan and Wen Muxue continued.
Just as Tang Yuan had predicted that day, after that day, Wen Muxue's attitude towards Tang Yuaninstantly became cold. For the first few days, she seemed to have disappeared; if Tang Yuan didn't take the initiative to speak, she would remain silent.
It wasn't until the fourth day that things took a slight turn. That day, Wen Muxue posted an exclusive video of a Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta on her Douyin account.
As soon as this video was released, it quickly climbed to the top of Douyin's trending videos. In just six hours, the video's views exceeded 100 million, with over 500,000 likes, bringing a massive amount of traffic to Wen Muxue and helping her fan count break the one million mark.
After the video went viral, Wen Muxue sent Tang Yuan a thank you message via WeChat. Her words were very formal, completely lacking the intimacy of that day.
In response, Tang Yuan only replied with three words: "You're welcome."
Other than that, there was no other response.
Tang Yuan's strategy was: if you're cold, I'll be even colder.
The back-and-forth between them was actually no different from fishing. Both sides were currently holding their lines taut, and both were fishermen. But if one person couldn't hold on, then their roles would immediately swap, and they would become the fish on the other's hook, letting the other lead them by the nose.
As for whether the fish would eventually get off the hook if this continued?
Hehe…
Tang Yuan stated, "I believe in the power of brand!"
And so, after this communication, both sides fell silent again.
…
On September 9th, after a week-long period, the dormitory renovation plan was finally completed successfully.
In fact, the dormitory had already been finished two days prior, but it was full of dust from the construction. So, Tang Yuan used the remaining two days to hire a cleaning company for a thorough deep clean of the entire dormitory.
That evening, Tang Yuan and Guan Yuntao moved back from the hotel.
"Yuan Ge, why do I feel a little excited for no reason?"
Standing outside the dormitory door, Guan Yuntaolooked at Tang Yuan, a hint of nervousness on his face.
"What's there to be excited about?"
"I just did a simple renovation; the layout hasn't changed much."
Tang Yuan glanced at him somewhat strangely, responding in a very calm tone.
Just as the two were talking, the door of dormitory room 1105, not far from their own, suddenly opened, and a head poked out from inside.
"Oh my!"
"Did the gentlemen return?"
Seeing Guan Yuntao and Tang Yuan carrying luggage, the person's eyes immediately lit up, and he walked out of the room with his Beijing accent.
"Your ears are pretty sharp!"
"Confess quickly, are you an enemy agent?"
The two looked over at the sound. When they saw who it was, Guan Yuntao shouted.
"Guan Yuntao, you old bastard!"
"I'm from a good background, you're the enemy agent!"
The person's name was Li Qiming, from Yanjing. He was also a new student in the 2018 Master of Finance program at Gaojin College. However, Tang Yuan and Guan Yuntao's specialization was in finance, while his was in financial technology. Their training directions were different, so they were naturally not in the same class.
However, Li Qiming and Guan Yuntao had known each other since university. Both had been recommended for postgraduate studies from Zhonghai Jiaotong University and were avid internet addicts. Recently, Li Qiming often came to find Guan Yuntao to play games, and through this, Tang Yuanalso got to know him.
"Yuan Ge, is your dormitory renovation finished?"
Li Qiming laughed and cursed at Guan Yuntao a couple of times, then quickly trotted over to Tang Yuan, asking in a familiar tone.
"It's finished. Want to come in and sit?"
Tang Yuan smiled, inviting him.
"Hehe…"
"Is it convenient?"
Li Qiming's eyes immediately lit up. Although he feigned reserve, his expectant expression was already clear on his face.
"We're all classmates, what's inconvenient about it?"
Tang Yuan replied casually, then pressed his thumb against the fingerprint lock on the dormitory door. With a "zzzz" sound, the dormitory door opened directly.
"Awesome!"
"You even got a fingerprint lock?"
Seeing this, Li Qiming immediately let out an exclamation.
"Can you stop being so surprised? Can you be a little more reserved?"
Guan Yuntao squinted at Li Qiming, a hint of disdain on his face. However, before he could finish speaking, as Tang Yuan, who had entered the room first, turned on the lights, Guan Yuntao's mouth instantly dropped wide open when he saw the renovated dormitory.
"Holy cow!"
"Is this our original dormitory?"
"This is what you call a 'simple' renovation?"
"Yuan Ge, do you misunderstand the meaning of 'simple'?"
Guan Yuntao stared at the dormitory before him, completely stunned.
Li Qiming: "???"
With you like this, you still have the nerve to tell me to be a little more reserved?
Li Qiming was somewhat speechless, but Guan Yuntao's reaction also piqued his curiosity, so he quickly pushed forward and peered into the dormitory.
At that sight, Li Qiming's composure completely broke down.
"Guan Yuntao!"
"You really deserve to die!"
"With your luck, how many widows did you save in your past life?!"
