Chapter 411: A Big Project Worth 1.3 Billion Yuan
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although most of the students recruited by universities were either local residents or at least from the local provinces, there were also many from foreign provinces.
For those students from foreign provinces, it would be easier for them to converse if they were from the big cities. However, those from smaller cities or even the countryside would have a harder time conversing since they would have an accent.
Therefore, the first 2 batches of new students that Su Yang had received earlier all had some accents.
However, this woman's voice did not have any accent. Not only did she not have an accent, her words were so precise she sounded like a host at an event.
Xu Lu, Qu Xuan, and Su Yang, who were standing at the same spot, could not help but look in the direction of the voice. In the end, they realized that the person standing before them was an extremely beautiful girl. Her eyes were very big and it would actively blink as though it could speak.
She did not have the anxiety and discomfort of a new student, only courage and curiosity.
Su Yang and the other two were looking at her. She was also looking at the three of them curiously. She was not shy or embarrassed at all. Instead, she looked very confident.
'This is a girl with a very strong heart.'
The girl was not alone. There was another girl in black who wore glasses behind her. The girl in black had a book in her hands.
The two girls held hands like best friends.
When he saw the two girls, Qu Xuan's eyes lit up and he quickly welcomed them warmly. "Hi there, are the 2 of you new students from Shanghai University?"
The girl blinked at Qu Xuan and ignored him. She said to Xu Lu, "Is there a bus to pick us up?"
Xu Lu had just regained her senses when she said enthusiastically, "Yes, don't worry. Our school bus will drive you directly to the school. I'll ask these seniors to bring you there."
The girl with large eyes looked at Qu Xuan before shifting her gaze to Li Runze and Su Yang. After a while, she smiled at Su Yang. "Sorry to trouble you."
Since the girl had taken the initiative to ask for help, what else could Su Yang say? He could only step forward to help.
Qu Xuan, who was standing at the side, felt awkward. However, other than being handsome, he also had the ability to be thick-skinned. He quickly said to the other girl who wore glasses, "I'll help you as well."
The girl tightened her grip on her luggage and ignored him.
Seeing this, Su Yang called for Li Runze's help. Li Runze walked over expressionlessly, picked up their luggages and left.
Seeing the four of them walk toward the bus, Qu Xuan did not feel embarrassed. He quickly followed them and surrounded the two girls while saying, "Which faculty are the 2 of you in?"
The girl in glasses ignored him, but the big-eyed girl spoke up instead. She looked at Qu Xuan with a sly look in her eyes. "Guess."
Qu Xuan asked, "Will there be a prize if I guess correctly?"
The girl blinked. "Yes."
Qu Xuan replied, "Arts Faculty."
The girl looked at him in surprise. "How did you guess?"
Qu Xuan smiled smugly. "I saw the registration form in her hand."
Su Yang looked in the direction Qu Xuan was pointing at. The girl in glasses was indeed holding a registration form in her book. A portion of the registration form was outside, and it had the words "Arts Faculty" written on it.
Qu Xuan said proudly, "Now that I've guessed correctly. What's my reward?"
The girl smiled and said, "Nothing."
Qu Xuan was stunned. "You're not upholding your promise."
The girl spread her hands and said smugly, "My mom told me that there's no need to keep my promise to a scumbag."
"Huh?" Qu Xuan was indignant. "How am I a scumbag?"
The girl said, "It's written on your face."
After saying that, she gave him a look that said, "What are you going to do about it?" Then, she ignored Qu Xuan and pulled the girl beside her as they moved forward.
Su Yang and Li Runze were not as shameless as Qu Xuan. The two of them had no intention of chatting with the two girls. When Qu Xuan caught up with them, the two of them had already dragged their luggage and walked ahead, not wanting to get involved with Qu Xuan.
After sending the two girls into the bus, the girl with big eyes bowed to Su Yang warmly. "Thank you. Xiao Ya and I wouldn't have been able to move these things without your help."
Then she reached out her hand and said, "My name is Guo Xiaoying. You can call me Little Ying. This is my best friend, Xue Ya."
Su Yang looked at the luggage in his hand and then looked at Guo Xiaoying's hand. He smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Su Yang. This is Li Runze. The one down there is Qu Xuan. I really don't have any extra hands anymore so I'll have to skip the handshake."
Guo Xiaoying stuck out her tongue and reached out to take one of Su Yang's luggage. "I'm sorry for having to let you carry everything."
As Su Yang placed his luggage on top of the luggage compartment in the car, he said, "It's fine. We're here to help the new students, so it's part of our duty."
Guo Xiaoying pouted and said, "I don't think so. I think someone with ulterior motives has sneaked in."
As she spoke, she shot a glance at Qu Xuan.
Qu Xuan was waiting for Su Yang down by the bus with nothing to do. Suddenly, he felt his nose itch and sneezed. He felt as though someone was talking about him.
After they were done stowing the luggage, Su Yang got off the bus with Li Runze after greeting Guo Xiaoying and Xue Ya.
Seeing this, Qu Xuan inched closer to Su Yang and whispered, "I won't be heading back first."
Su Yang glanced at him. "Scumbag."
Qu Xuan chuckled and did not reply.
Su Yang could not be bothered with him and returned to the reception area with Li Runze.
However, not long after he left, Little Deeny's voice suddenly rang in his ears. "Master, Master. Little Hus has something to tell you."
Su Yang could not reply and could only listen quietly.
A moment later, Little Hus's hoarse voice rang in Su Yang's ears. "Su Yang! Su Yang! Let me tell you! It smells good! Very good!"
'What smells good?'
Little Hus seemed to know what Su Yang was thinking as it explained, "The girl who was near you smelled nice."
Su Yang looked at Xu Lu, Li Runze, and the other volunteers. He walked away quietly and asked in a low voice, "There were two girls just now. Which one?"
Little Hus thought about it and said, "How would I know which one? Anyway, there's one that smells really good!"
Su Yang was speechless.
He asked, "What kind of smell is it?"
Little Hus said, "I could smell opportunity on her. A kind of smell that could earn you a lot of money."
'Opportunity? A lot of money?
'Could it be that... 1 of those 2 girls have potential?'
Su Yang voiced out his thoughts.
However, Little Hus denied, "It's not that they have potential, but they have the potential for projects. Make sure you don't miss it."
Su Yang asked, "Why?"
Little Hus said loudly, "Because it smells super good! I feel like I could almost die in suffocation from the smell alone! It seems to smell 30 times better than that "Fighting The Buddha" project!"
Su Yang opened his mouth...
'30 times better than "Fighting The Buddha!
'The profits of "Fighting The Buddha" are close to 10 times! Could the profits of this new project be 300 times?
'Even if I don't count like that and base it on the amount of profits.
'The box office of "Fighting The Buddha" is about 40 million yuan, and I am able to earn more than 30 million yuan. Multiply that by 30 times, could this new project earn me 1.3 billion yuan?!
'What kind of project is this?
'It's so profitable!
'Could I be establishing a football team for the country?!
'I definitely can't let it go. After all, I've spent 50 million yuan on the recent Silver mission. The next Silver might even make me spend 100 million yuan instead of allowing me to earn 50 million yuan!
'Where am I supposed to find that much money!
'Hence, I need to be well prepared and earn as much as I can!'
With that thought in mind, Su Yang said to Little Hus, "In that case, I'll try to get in contact with those two girls while you find out which one of them has potential."
Little Hus said, "No problem!"
Following that, nothing else happened in the morning. Perhaps because there was still some time before school reopened, there were not many new students coming out from the train station in the morning. They did not manage to fill up a whole bus in the morning.
When the next shift from the Student Union and volunteers arrived at noon, Su Yang, Xu Lu and the rest returned to the bus as well. They intended to follow the bus back to school. Su Yang's substitution for Chu Xia had been completed.
When they returned to the bus, Qu Xuan was nowhere to be seen.
Su Yang looked around the car. Some of the new students were chatting passionately. They had come from all over the world, but they were able to come up with a lot of topics to talk about.
Of course, the older students gathered around their favorite juniors and explained.
There were some decent people who were there purely to volunteer. They were chatting about the school's stories to the people around him. Many of the school's gossip and supernatural stories were spread from here.
Su Yang looked at Xue Ya and Guo Xiaoying. The two girls were sitting in a twin seat and chatted with their heads lowered. Xue Ya listened quietly while Guo Xiaoying was laughing so hard that her eyes were almost out of their sockets. She seemed to have found something fun.
Su Yang walked over and coughed. After attracting their attention, he lowered his head and asked, "Was it too long of a wait for the both of you?"
Guo Xiaoying looked up at Su Yang and blinked her bright eyes. She seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, she smiled. "No, it wasn't."
Su Yang nodded. "That's good then."
Guo Xiaoying added, "After all, we just got here. The other students are probably the ones who had to wait much longer than us."
Su Yang felt a little awkward. He felt that Guo Xiaoying must have thought that he was up to no good and had finally shown his true colors.
However, he had already achieved his goal. While he was chatting with the two of them, Su Yang had already asked Little Hus to identify who among the 2 of the girls was emanating the fragrance that was worth 1.3 billion yuan.
Little Hus quickly confirmed that the fragrance came from Guo Xiaoying.
'So... Guo Xiaoying has a 1.3 billion yuan project?
'Logically speaking, she should not be the one to have this project, so could the project be her family's?
'I really want it...
'But how am I supposed to begin the topic and get involved with this project?'
Su Yang was a little troubled.
He got out of the car and hid under a tree to think of a solution.
This girl was sharp-tongued and cunning. She did not seem easy to deal with. It was impossible for her to trust him easily and even bring him the project...
'So... is it time for my [Unrestricted Driver's License] to shine?'
'I could use the [Unrestricted Driver's License] to unlock her affinity and then use [The Pork Shoulder That Can Roast] to criticize her continuously. After I've increased her affinity up to a certain point, I will be able to get this project from her.'
After thinking through this plan, Su Yang had a feeling that...'This strangely seems like an RPG game where I defeat monsters and gain their loot. It also feels like the plot of some drama as well.
'Anyhow, it doesn't feel like a conventional method.
'Also, I don't think I would be toying with other's feelings, would I?
'Why does this plan seem like a horrible scam...'
Only
With that thought in mind, Su Yang took out the [Unrestricted Driver's License] and opened the system interface. He wanted to see if there were any other explanations for this driver's license.
He moved the system's question mark to the driver's license's [Affinity], and as expected, a line of explanation appeared, [When the Unrestricted Driver's License is unlocked, you can choose Love, Friendship and Kinship.]
'Well... That's a relief.
'I don't have to be a scammer.
'I don't have to be a Cassanova either.
'Let's start with [Friendship] then.
'I don't think... anything bad will happen again if I choose [Friendship], will it?'
