Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 435 The Loan Interest Rate is Settled
Anyone who has experienced the sensation of an electric motor knows that the combined tactile, psychological, and visual experience is truly indescribable. To truly understand, you'll have to look at animated images.

Especially the Seron brand electric mini motor. It has strong horsepower, fast vibration, smooth paint, and a honey-like texture. It glides smoothly without any jamming, making it the best of the best among mini motors.

Chen Nuo was almost scared out of his wits by Theron's relentless pressure, wishing he could spill all the knowledge he had stored up inside him.

But every time the conversation went deep and it seemed like the conversation was about to reach the point of him pouring out his grievances, this South African diamond always anticipated his opponent's moves and quickly shut up.

In short, he went from heaven to hell and back again, making countless trips... In the end, it was a phone call from Zuckerberg that saved him, something he never expected.

This is probably the only good thing the Jews did after crossing the Red Sea.

Amen.

Chen Nuo finally vented all his grievances, and then, as if he had been punched in the head by a strong man, he fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, he didn't know what time it was. For some reason, Gulnazar didn't come to wake him. Perhaps they were getting more and more in sync.

Not only him, but also Little Motor was fast asleep on the bed, sprawled out with half of his body sticking out.

Clearly, the little motor was exhausted after working all night; after all, machines aren't people, and they need rest too.

I checked my phone and saw several missed calls, all from the same landline number.

When he called back, it was an automated answering machine. Hearing that it was Sydney Sandberg's office landline at Facebook headquarters, he felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.

He turned off his phone's silent mode, stared at the ceiling, his mind racing with all sorts of random thoughts, and before he knew it, he drifted off to sleep again.

It seemed like I had just closed my eyes when my phone rang.

He answered the call immediately, holding the phone to his ear and speaking calmly, "Hello."

"Hi Chen, this is Sydney Sandberg. Excuse me, I had something to do earlier."

"Is there something you need, Sherry?"

"Oh, I see. I've been entrusted by Mike to formally inform you on behalf of Facebook..."

Chen Nuo listened quietly as Sydney Sandberg said on the phone that Mark Zuckerberg had finally fulfilled his promise, and that Facebook would now officially begin the transfer process of the 2% founder shares in accordance with the terms of the agreement previously signed by both parties.

“According to the terms of our agreement two years ago,” Sydney’s voice was clear and efficient on the phone, with that kind of matter-of-fact, emotionless tone typical of Westerners, “you will exercise your options to exchange $2 million for 2% of Facebook’s original founder stock. The shares will be transferred from Mark’s personal account, with the percentage linked to the company’s bylaws, without dilution or erosion.”

“You will receive a formal notification letter jointly issued by our company’s legal department, an independent third-party auditing firm, and a San Francisco firm. All documents will be delivered to your legal team in Silicon Valley within 48 hours. At the same time, I will also arrange for a dedicated financial advisor to contact them.”

She paused for a moment, then lowered her voice, "Congratulations, Chen, you are about to become the fifth largest individual shareholder of Facebook."

Chen Nuo said, "Thank you. Is there anything else?"

"Uh, that's all."

"I have some things to take care of, so I'll leave it at that for now. See you in a few days."

"OK, I won't bother you anymore. Bye."

"Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Nuo took a deep breath to calm his wildly beating heart.

Before the mood struck, he had imagined it countless times, but after it was actually finalized, he still seemed a bit pathetic with nervousness and excitement, and even when he was speaking just now, he couldn't quite control his emotions.

However, after recalling the conversation, he confirmed that his excellent delivery of lines had helped him, and the other party should not have noticed anything.

At this point, he couldn't afford to be careless.

After all, this is undoubtedly the most important step in his life so far. It's no exaggeration to say that everything he did during those two years was for this contract.

It seems the dawn has broken; all he has to do is wait to stand on it.

"call--"

He put his hands behind his head and let out a sigh of relief.

Theron was pretending to be asleep, motionless. Although the cold air from the air conditioner was blowing on her bare chest and she felt a bit cold, it was as if magma was flowing in her heart, making her body feel incredibly hot.

The conversation on speakerphone last night, combined with the snippets of conversation that just came through the iPhone 4's earpiece, gradually made a certain suspicion in her mind clear.

Facebook is arguably the hottest tech company in the US right now. What's the value of 2% of its shares? Is it enough to create a super-rich person?
Charlize Theron couldn't say for sure that she knew everything, but she was certain that once this secret got out, it would cause a huge uproar in Hollywood and even across the United States.

Moreover, when this person heard about the one hundred million dollar last night, his expression was completely dismissive, which shows that the salary revealed by the media is probably only the tip of the iceberg of his wealth.

Theron was incredibly conflicted when she thought about the debts she was currently carrying, which he could probably solve with a breath.

But she couldn't bring herself to ask a young man who was ten years younger than her for help.

Just as she was pondering this, she suddenly felt a lightness on the bed, and the person next to her had gotten out of bed.

It was getting late, and Chen Nuo was starving. After getting dressed, he wanted to find something to eat.

As a result, he bumped into Gulnazar as he was going upstairs.

Seeing the girl's slightly uncomfortable look, he immediately realized that Gulnazar knew perfectly well that someone else had spent the night with him in her room, which was why she hadn't come to wake him up today.

This wasn't the first time; in Japan, South Korea, Cannes, Los Angeles… she was a witness to, and even an accomplice to, many of his romantic affairs. Although the two had never discussed this topic, and he hadn't specifically instructed her on anything, Gulnazar undoubtedly fulfilled her duties admirably.

In addition, last night's party was also organized by this young woman in her early twenties, and it was a great success, in addition to her performance at the film sales event in Cannes.

Chen Nuo had to admit that he was getting more and more comfortable using this person.

But on the other hand, at this crucial moment when he is about to take a step up, he should also consider the other party's feelings.

"Is there any food?" Chen Nuo asked.

"Ah, I'll call right now..."

"No need, is there any ready-made?"

"Brother Linghu just went and bought some KFC."

"Row."

American KFC is different from Chinese KFC; it has a stronger flavor. Chen Nuo usually doesn't care, since he can make do with anything when he's hungry. However, he has decided to start dieting today to prepare for Quentin Tarantino's movie. So, during this critical period of dieting, he is just slowly munching on a corn cob.

"Please sit down, let's talk." Chen Nuo pointed to the sofa opposite him.

"Ah? Oh, okay." Gulnazar looked at Chen Nuo's expression and sat down somewhat nervously.

"How long have you been by my side?" Chen Nuo asked.

The girl sat up straight and answered honestly, "Yes... 6 months, Mr. Chen."

"Six months is not a short time. How do you feel? Are you getting used to it?" Chen Nuo asked with a hint of curiosity as he chewed on the corn in his mouth.

"I'm quite used to it."

Do you like this job?

"like."

"Have you ever thought about changing jobs?"

Upon hearing this, Gulnazar's heart skipped a beat, and she panicked a little.

She was so tired last night that she didn't do anything except listen for a while before going back to her room to sleep.

why?
Could it be that something from before has been brought up again?
She said somewhat flusteredly, "No, I don't want to."

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "Really? I heard that you came to the company to become a star, didn't you?"

Gulnazar blinked and hesitated, "Yes, but that was before."

"And now? You don't want to think about it anymore?"

"I…………"

Gulnazar was a little confused. It was only then that she realized that the conversation was not what she had expected.

Chen Nuo's question struck a chord deep within her.

She paused for a few seconds before shaking her head and saying, "I don't want to think about it anymore."

Chen Nuo immediately saw through the girl's insincerity and said with a smile, "No need to answer me so quickly. Let me share my opinion. I think you have good potential. If you want to be a star, you have no problem. It's a bit of a waste for you to always be by my side. Look at you, right? Look in the mirror. How many female stars are as good-looking as you these days?"

Gulnazar's face suddenly felt hot.

She has been praised for her beauty countless times in her life, but it seems that never before has she felt so happy and proud.

"No, Mr. Chen. There are many women like me in XJ, like Dilraba from the company, who is prettier than me."

"Heh, her?"

Chen Nuo made a comparison in his mind.

Honestly, this is a question that has been around for ages. The moment the question of who is more beautiful among the two beauties from the Western Regions is raised, the fans on both sides could fight all the way to the Buddha himself; even he wouldn't dare to make a comment.

Skipping over that topic, I said, "No need for comparisons. What I want to say is, if you stay by my side and earn just over 20,000 a month, do you feel wronged?"

“No,” Gulnazar replied immediately without hesitation.

She didn't lie.

Neither she nor her 200,000+ followers on Weibo would likely feel wronged.

Why has her number of fans increased from over 100,000 to over 200,000?
It was because she walked up to Chen Nuo at the airport that her identity was exposed, and her Weibo account was found, causing her follower count to skyrocket. Her latest Weibo post, a photo of her overlooking Ginza from a hotel in Japan, received over 5000 comments, and countless private messages, all asking her to confirm whether the person next to Chen Nuo was indeed her.

If it's true, could you release some of Nuonuo's private photos? Many people claiming to be from certain media outlets are offering at least six figures, and sometimes even seven figures, for a single photo.

The longtime fans who had previously discussed her identity were all stunned. Those who had called her a mistress or a third party all changed their tune, scaring her so much that she hasn't dared to post on Weibo since.

So, to say that you can travel the world with Chen Nuo, eating, drinking, and staying exactly the same as Chen Nuo every day, and being in contact with, hearing, and seeing celebrities that are unattainable for ordinary people, is not just about China or the United States, but about the whole world!

The place I live in every day is like a marketplace of fame and fortune. I can even earn more than 2 RMB every month, and there are even bonuses for doing things well.

Can this be called feeling wronged?
Her family members were calling and messaging her, telling her to stay close to General Manager Chen and work hard.

Chen Nuo observed the changes in her expression and felt that her acting skills hadn't reached that level yet, so he smiled and said, "Alright, then let me add one more thing. Would you like to hear my advice on how you want to develop your career in the future?"

"Ah? Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen!" Gulnazar was a little excited.

Chen Nuo said in a serious tone, without blushing at all, "Whether you want to be an actor or go in another direction in the future, you must first read more books and study more. Don't waste your time eating, drinking and having fun. If you want to act, read more scripts and practice acting. If you want to move up, you have to get some qualifications, like an MBA. In short, you have to have long-term goals and not just drift through life, understand?"

Gulnazar shouted, "Yes, I understand!"

Chen Nuo nodded in satisfaction. In this way, it could be considered that Zhuge Liang had captured Meng Huo seven times and won over the general's heart. From now on, he could use him boldly. "Go up and see if that woman has gotten up yet. If not, wake her up and ask her if she has anything else to say. If not, let her go."

Gulnazar was stunned: "Huh?"

Nervousness, embarrassment, and trepidation are all insufficient to describe Gulnazar's feelings when she went upstairs to knock on the door.

Although she had seen and heard a lot, this was the first time she had "cleaned up" for a man in this kind of situation, and the first time she had faced that kind of "woman" alone. It was both exciting and absurd.

However, she couldn't help but wonder—who was it last night? This question kept her tossing and turning in bed, going over all the possible candidates in her mind.

Finally, when the door opened and she saw Charlize Theron, she felt relieved.

Not surprising at all. She was on set the whole time when they were filming "Dorp".

The two characters slept together in the play, so if they really sparked a romance off-screen, it would just be a natural progression.

Speaking of which, she had seen that "True Love" perfume commercial on TV countless times. Back when she was a model, she even imitated Charlize Theron's gait and gaze in the commercials.

Hey, I never expected it would end up the same way... bowing down and submitting to the boss's jeans.

Gulnazar felt a subtle sense of pride welling up inside her.

But she quickly suppressed her emotions and said politely, "Ms. Theron, hello. My boss asked me to wake you up... Also, would you like me to call a car for you?"

Charlize Theron hesitated, then said, "No, uh, where is he? I'd like to see him."

Forget about pride. She finally realized that she needed at least some money to get through until Facebook went public, otherwise she would go bankrupt before then!
At that moment, she had no other choice!

……

"You need to borrow money?"

Chen Nuo had already gone to the gym to run, thus beginning his first step towards healthy weight loss.

Unexpectedly, Theron didn't leave and wanted to see him again.

This was somewhat unexpected. Logically, Hollywood people shouldn't be unaware of the principle of "one night's pleasure, then everyone goes their separate ways," so why would they want to see him?
When they met, he suddenly realized that the person had come to borrow money from him.

Seeing that he remained silent, Theron bit her lip and said, "I didn't intend to get five million by sleeping with you. I'm not that kind of person. I swear, I will definitely pay you back."

Chen Nuo didn't doubt that. A few million dollars wasn't a huge sum. To the other party, it was just a matter of an advertisement or a movie. He just hadn't expected that this person would go to such lengths in the stock market.

Charlize Theron was still wearing the same dress as last night, her slender figure subtly revealed, outlining her perfect curves. Her wavy blonde hair cascaded down her face like a waterfall, shimmering in the setting sun. It has to be said that the title of "sexy bombshell" is truly well-deserved when applied to her.

Think back to their first meeting, how proud and assertive she was in front of him, and then look at this woman standing at the gym entrance now, speaking humbly yet pretending to be calm.

This reminded Chen Nuo of a speech he had unintentionally heard in New York in his previous life, a speech that, without exaggeration, changed his life.

At that time, he was in the most turbulent stage of his life, with all kinds of temptations coming his way. However, he managed to stay calm and patient by relying on those words, and did not chase those "short-term opportunities" that seemed to make people rich overnight. In the end, he landed safely.

Those words came from the man on stage who was Buffett's disciple, Munger's close friend, and a key figure in Buffett's later investment in BYD. He could even be said to have indirectly changed the trajectory of China's new energy development.

他 说:

"Only compound interest can make you rich steadily, while speculation will only make you excited first, then anxious, and finally bankrupt."

This is the most profound and insightful saying.

"How much did you lose?" he asked.

Charlize Theron bit her lip: "Including leverage... twenty million. But I don't need that much, I only need five million to get through this period. I also have advertising and profit sharing that will arrive next month... As long as our movie is released, CAA will help me get new roles, and then I will pay you back."

Chen Nuo nodded and said, "300 million, 8% interest, to be paid off in two years. I won't give it to you all at once, I'll lend you 50 every month."

His idea was simple: he was just worried that the woman would use the money to speculate on stocks, so he proposed an installment plan.

But Theron seemed lost in thought; upon hearing "50 a month," a complex and humiliating expression crossed her face. In the end, however, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

“OK, I understand. I’ll pay for this month now…” she said, walking towards him.

……

Gulnazar covered her mouth in surprise, thankfully managing not to scream.

With a turn, he was pressed against the wall.

But immediately, she couldn't help but quickly peek out and take another look.

Inside the glass-doored gym, the man was facing her sideways, his eyes closed.

In front of him squatted a blonde woman. He couldn't see her face or what she was doing. All he could see were her snow-white thighs and a round buttocks exposed through the slit in her skirt.

Gulina's legs went weak.

Although she couldn't see anything, it really felt like ants were crawling all over her body.

Good heavens, wasn't it supposed to be about borrowing money?
Is this the price you have to pay for borrowing money from your boss?

……

……

On September 29, 2011, Tiangong-9 was launched into space, marking a new historical stage for China's space program.

Also on this day in Menlo Park, California, at 3:13 p.m., Chen Nuo signed his name on an agreement in a conference room at Facebook headquarters.

Undoubtedly, this also marks the beginning of a new phase in his life.

He was one of the signatories to the agreement, and Mark Zuckerberg was the other. The two parties agreed that he would buy a 2% stake in Facebook's founders for $2 million.

The signing ceremony was sparsely attended. There were no reporters, no spectators, only a photographer to take pictures for the record.

Representatives from Facebook included Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, a legal representative from within Facebook, and a senior lawyer.

On his side were Qi Yuntian, Gulnazar, Eileen Graham, and lawyer Ethan Brookson.

The whole process took less than half an hour.
Sunlight streamed into the conference room through the clear California summer sky. As Chen Nuo signed his name on the last page of the contract, his pen trembled slightly.

But in the end, he was resolute and decisive, and accomplished it in one fell swoop.

After signing, he shook hands with Mark Zuckerberg and smiled at the camera together.

Of course, these photos were not intended for the media, but were simply kept as a memento within Facebook.

With a "click," the flash went off.

Let's capture this moment that deserves to be recorded.

"Welcome to Facebook, Chen. From today onwards, we are official partners. I hope we can achieve even greater success together. It's a pleasure working together." Regardless of what Zuckerberg was thinking, his politeness remained impeccable at this moment.

Looking at his fake smile, Chen Nuo finally let out the joy he had been holding back for so long, making him unable to hold back any longer and completely relax, and he laughed.

This was definitely a rare display of his true feelings.

Laughter echoed in the conference room, causing everyone to look at each other in bewilderment, and the applause became even more enthusiastic in return.

"Pleasant to work with."

After Chen Nuo finished laughing, he solemnly shook hands with Zuckerberg.

He was the only one in the world who understood the true meaning of this moment.

……

……

This major event, which had been planned for two or three years, has now come to a close.

After that, Chen Nuo really didn't want to care about anything anymore.

Call him lazy or unambitious, it doesn't matter. Whatever.

In short, the thought that even if he were bedridden for ten years, he could still generously buy his precious daughter a pair of earrings worth 250 million yuan a year later made him just want to relax and rest, forgetting everything else. He wanted to put aside company matters and movie plans, and think of nothing but losing weight.

Qi Yuntian couldn't understand his mindset; instead, he felt that his mood was very complicated. After he signed the contract, he went to a law firm in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and held the first formal meeting with representatives from Warner Bros., Nolan, and the finance department of Hengdian to discuss the revenue sharing of "Inception".

Meanwhile, he, accompanied by his assistant and bodyguards, secretly traveled to Palm Beach in a chartered private jet, ready to enjoy the azure sea and sky.
