You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

With the provincial competition for the Entrepreneurship Challenge Cup just around the corner, the entire campus is filled with a sense of tension before the big battle.

Lu Yuan poured almost all his energy into this. In order to allow him to prepare for the competition without any distractions, the counselor specially spoke with the teachers of each subject.

The main reason was that the green light was given to Lu Yuan's team. Even if they missed the exam due to preparation for the competition, the teachers of each subject would give them a passing grade as a safety net.

The reason they weren't exempted from the exam wasn't because the school rules were strict, but because none of the team members seemed to need such a privilege.

At this critical juncture, the leisurely atmosphere of university campuses during classes has long since vanished, and everyone is frantically cramming for final exams.

What are college students most afraid of?

Of course, you'll fail the course.

Failing a course isn't necessarily fatal, but the subsequent retakes, re-examinations, and the potential loss of scholarships and postgraduate admission opportunities can be incredibly troublesome.

Therefore, in order not to fail their courses, clever and resourceful college students have started a variety of exam preparation methods:

There are action-oriented individuals who cram for practice problems and treat the library like their home;

There are also those who completely give up, aiming only to pass, and who are optimistic about relaxing their minds and bodies;

There are also quantum entanglement proponents who attempt to change their fate through metaphysics, and they even keep several textbooks under their pillows when they sleep at night.

There are even superstitious people who hang Conan posters and place Confucius statues in their dormitories, believing that sincerity will bring results.

Ye Yixian was naturally among those reviewing, but she was clearly much more relaxed.

She has a solid foundation and a thorough grasp of the textbook knowledge, so failing a course is basically a non-issue for her.

Her only hope now is to get through this period quickly so that once Lu Yuan finishes the provincial competition, the two of them can go out and have some fun without any burdens.

Lu Yuan also doesn't need to spend too much time on the final exams.

He has been focusing all his energy on the provincial competition of the Entrepreneurship Challenge Cup. In order to refine his project, he has recently become a frequent visitor to Professor Zhang's home.

Professor Zhang spoke highly of the "Love Notes" project, believing that it is not only innovative but also successfully implemented. Even if it doesn't win first place in the provincial competition, it is guaranteed to be in the top three.

If you can squeeze into the top three, you will naturally attract the attention of a group of entrepreneurs.

Whether or not they can secure a substantial investment in the end depends on whether Lu Yuan, the project manager, can use his silver tongue to persuade those shrewd capital tycoons.

Lu Yuan had been preparing for this for over a month, and was full of confidence and assurance.

However, just as the final exams and the provincial competition were about to begin, a sudden phone call threw him into complete disarray.

The caller was Hu Chenghui from Longhui Computer City, the man Lu Yuan now calls "Brother Hui".

When the call connected, Hu Chenghui's voice came through the receiver, carrying a hint of meaning: "Brother Lu, there's something I feel I need to tell you."

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone calm: "Brother Hui, let's not beat around the bush, let's speak frankly."

"Hehe, that's straightforward." Hu Chenghui chuckled, seemingly satisfied with Lu Yuan's attitude, but then his tone suddenly turned serious. "It's like this, I've recently heard some rumors, passed on by someone close to you. You're not planning to go solo with that amusement park project, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan tightened his grip on his phone.

His eyes darkened, and his previously steady breathing faltered: "Brother Hui, what do you mean by that?"

"Don't be nervous, Brother Lu." Hu Chenghui's tone carried the calm confidence of someone who had something on you. "I know you've hooked up with some big boss and are planning to build a huge amusement park in the provincial capital. But his condition is that you have to put up five million as an investment. If you can't come up with the money, you'll be out. Right?"

"Who told you?" Lu Yuan's voice suddenly rose, his tone revealing the embarrassment of having his cards exposed and the suppressed anger.

"Who said that isn't important," Hu Chenghui chuckled, his tone growing increasingly smug. "What's important is that I know you're quick-witted and good at conning people. You desperately need five million to fill the hole, so you're rushing to pull me in, wanting me to be the sucker, right?"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and asked coldly, "What exactly do you want?"

"Don't get so worked up," Hu Chenghui said slowly. "I can come up with five million. But I don't have the leisure to invest in a project that won't even make a ripple in five years."

"If you're not interested, why are you making this call?"

"I'm not interested in amusement parks, but I'm very interested in your 'Love Notes,' which is already making money." Hu Chenghui finally dropped his pretense, revealing his fangs. "Five million. I'll buy out your product entirely. You can choose to take the money and leave, or you can stay and work for me. How about it? Not a bad deal, right?"

"You just want to monopolize my hard work in starting a business!" Lu Yuan suddenly stood up, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound due to the sudden movement.

Faced with Lu Yuan's fury, Hu Chenghui remained unconcerned, simply tossing out, "Sell or not is up to you. Anyway, I've already figured out your background; you have no real connection with the Lin family. Of course, I won't touch your people; I'm just pointing you in the right direction. Brother Lu, I hope you won't be ungrateful."

"Beep—beep—"

The call was unilaterally disconnected.

Lu Yuan stared intently at the now-blacked-out phone screen, his chest heaving violently.

He was furious at Hu Chenghui's cunning; the old fox had never come to discuss cooperation from the beginning, and his target from start to finish was "Love Notes".

All the polite formalities were just a roundabout way of delaying, delaying until the relationship between Lu Yuan and the Lin family was clearly investigated.

But after a brief moment of anger, a chill crept up his spine.

Who leaked the wind?

Lu Yuan had almost managed to lure Hu Chenghui into the amusement park trap, but now not only has all his efforts been in vain, but his opponent has also completely controlled his trump cards.

Hu Chenghui's confidence suggests that he has already contacted Lin Na and obtained accurate information, confirming that Lu Yuan and the Lin family do not have the close relationship they imagined.

So, who told him the core secret about "the amusement park project urgently needing five million"?

People around you?

Male or female?

Lu Yuan forced himself to calm down, his brain racing.

In this negotiation, Hu Chenghui had no need to lie; he wanted to use this method to tell Lu Yuan that this was a ruthless attack where all cards were laid bare.

Did someone in the team betray you?

Xu Lingjing?

impossible.

She was an original shareholder of "Love Notes" and holds the most shares besides herself.

Once the project is acquired and the shareholding structure is reshuffled, she may not be able to retain her current position. Therefore, she has almost no motive to commit the crime.

Since Xu Lingjing is fine, the rest of the team probably don't have the guts or the reason to do so.

If it wasn't someone from within the team, then who else could it be?

Who do you usually talk to about anything, and even reveal your entire plan to?

Ye Yixian?

It is absolutely impossible.

Anyone might betray themselves, but Ye Yixian would never do so.

Wang Qingyu?

She is also a beneficiary of the project, so she has no reason to betray it.

That's... Gao Zhe?

Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly sharpened, as if he had finally grasped the thread that was most likely to be turned in this fog.
