Qin Xian Yun opened her eyes. The sky was already bright. She was lost in thought for a while before she remembered what happened last night. She tried to raise her hand, but failed. All the muscles and bones in her body were sending her a message: tired.
After resting for another ten minutes, Qin Xian Yun struggled to sit up from the bed. She checked the time and saw that it was almost time to clock in at work. She slowly reached for her phone on the nightstand and called her company to call in sick.
“Hello······ I’m taking a day off today.” Her weak voice startled even herself. After finally making it to the bathroom sink to wash up, she saw a radiant face reflected in the mirror.
“Is this the legendary ‘being nourished’?” Qin Xian Yun thought silently.
She walked out of the room with difficulty. It felt like she had slept in a different room last night.
With her slow thinking, Qin Xian Yun stepped down the stairs one step at a time, using the handrail for support. She saw the culprit from last night already sitting in the dining room, waiting for her.
Seeing how inconvenient it was for Qin Xian Yun to move, Wang Tie Niu came forward, picked her up in a princess carry, and gently placed her on the dining chair. They then began to eat breakfast.
“Why did you wake up so early?” Qin Xian Yun asked, taking small bites of her whole-wheat bread.
“I got up to do housework. I washed all the bedding from that room, and I had the property manager dismantle and clean the mattress,” Wang Tie Niu replied.
Qin Xian Yun’s entire face turned as red as a steamed shrimp. She lowered her head and chewed on her fried egg, not daring to look up.
The two of them ate their breakfast silently.
“I have something to do outside. You stay home and rest well,” said Wang Tie Niu, after cleaning up the dishes. He then carried Qin Xian Yun back to bed, prepared a phone charger, and brought her a large thermos of hot water.
Qin Xian Yun obediently closed her eyes. She was really too tired.
Wang Tie Niu headed straight to the Magic Realm. He saw He Shuo Yue, whose beauty rating was 98 points, again.
“He Xue Jie, I need to trouble you again,” said Wang Tie Niu, extending his hand.
He Shuo Yue smiled slightly, extended her hand with skin like congealed fat, shook Wang Tie Niu’s hand, and then retracted it.
It was the same coffee shop, the same seats, and the same props as last time.
“We can begin,” said Wang Tie Niu, gesturing to He Shuo Yue.
He Shuo Yue nodded and dialed Bugatti’s number.
After confirming her identity, the call was transferred to Bugatti’s sales manager, Blondie. He Shuo Yue was also ready to translate simultaneously.
“Hey, young man from the East, let me hear what you have to say.”
“Hello, Mr. Blondie, I’d like to talk to you about purchasing a DIVO.”
“DIVO? That’s been sold out for a long time. We used an online sales method, and unfortunately, you didn’t get one.”
“Yes, I didn’t get one. So I wanted to talk to you about whether there is any other way to get a DIVO.”
“You could try to find other lucky people and see if they’re willing to sell their DIVO to you.”
“No, no, no, I don’t want to collect them one by one. That’s too slow. You understand what I mean, right? I need a lot of DIVOs.”
“A lot?”
“Yes, a lot. At least 20,” said Wang Tie Niu solemnly.
“20? Are you kidding me? That’s 100 million euros.” When she translated “100 million euros,” He Shuo Yue was already stunned. They were actually talking about a deal worth 100 million euros, or 700 million yuan.
“He Xue Jie, He Xue Jie!” Wang Tie Niu looked at He Shuo Yue, who was lost in thought and forgetting to translate, and called out to her with a hint of anger. Seeing that she still hadn’t reacted, he gently patted her arm.
He Shuo Yue snapped out of her reverie and met Wang Tie Niu’s angry gaze. Realizing her lapse, she quickly put aside her little bit of grievance and continued translating.
“Listen, Mr. Blondie, I’m not kidding. 100 million euros, 20 cars. That’s enough for you to restart your production line. After hanging up the phone, we can even immediately enter the transaction phase,” said Wang Tie Niu seriously.
“Hey, kid, I admit I’m a little tempted, but I think it’s not enough to impress the board.”
“40 cars. I’ll order 40 DIVOs. An order worth 200 million euros. Do you think that can impress the board?” Wang Tie Niu thought for a moment, then threatened.
“You have to understand, as someone with hundreds of billions of euros in assets, I have many ways to contact the board. I came to you because I want to get it in the most legitimate way. You understand what I mean?”
“Okay, young man from the East, you’ve swayed me. If you can really order 40 DIVOs, maybe I can persuade the board to restart production. Maybe we won’t call it DIVO, but DIVOPURSPORT. Special custom edition, what do you think?”
“I think it’s great. And I want to emphasize one point. I can deposit the 200 million euros in a trust account at UBS. Then UBS will guarantee this transaction. You won’t have any concerns about restarting production. Understand?”
“Your wealth truly amazes me. I will definitely do my best to facilitate this transaction.”
“Good. My contact information is in my Chiron owner information. I hope to get good news. Goodbye.”
After hanging up the phone, Wang Tie Niu let out a sigh of relief. Seeing that He Shuo Yue was silent and staring at him blankly, he waved his hand in front of her eyes.
He Shuo Yue came to her senses and looked at Wang Tie Niu with an indescribable expression. She lowered her head and started to gather her things.
Wang Tie Niu took out his phone and sent He Shuo Yue another transfer of 5,000 yuan, with a note that said “translation fee.”
He Shuo Yue, who should have been happy to receive it, just glanced at her phone, didn’t click on the payment, and quickly left the coffee shop.
Wang Tie Niu settled the coffee bill and didn’t chase after her. He followed He Shuo Yue slowly.
He Shuo Yue walked aimlessly around the campus, biting her lip and looking down, her backpack slung over her shoulder. Wang Tie Niu maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Finally, after circling the school for a lap and a half, He Shuo Yue sat down on a bench by the small lake. The wind blew through the willow branches, swaying them slowly. Sunlight and shadows danced in the air, falling on He Shuo Yue. From a distance, she looked like a fairy from a painting, beautiful to the point of unreality.
Wang Tie Niu slowly walked over and sat down on the bench next to He Shuo Yue.
“Do you feel a strong sense of absurdity?” Wang Tie Niu asked.
He Shuo Yue gently nodded. “I originally thought you were just a rich second-generation kid with some money.”
“I’m an orphan. Not a rich second-generation. This money is all mine,” Wang Tie Niu said with a confident smile.
“If what you said is true, then you, a billionaire, approaching me in such a down-to-earth way, what is it for?” He Shuo Yue turned to look at Wang Tie Niu.
“For you, because you are too beautiful,” Wang Tie Niu said frankly.
“You know, if you were just a millionaire, maybe I would think I could marry you and live a happy life,” He Shuo Yue said to herself, “but you’re clearly a billionaire, right? You wouldn’t marry me, would you?”
Wang Tie Niu nodded without any embarrassment. “But you can still live a happy and fulfilling life.”
“Then when I get old and lose my looks, you’ll throw me away?” He Shuo Yue said with a touch of sarcasm.
“Don’t think of me that way. You can have all the security for the rest of your life, except for marriage, right now,” Wang Tie Niu stared into He Shuo Yue’s eyes and said, “You can try making an offer.”
“100 million. Would you give it to me?” He Shuo Yue said with a disdainful smile.
Deal. Wang Tie Niu immediately grabbed her hand.
