I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

"Don't rush, how can you do this without attracting investment? Are you going to go bankrupt on your own? How much money can Uncle Shen give you?" Lin Xuanqi rested her chin on her hand and tapped her cheek with her fingers.

"I wouldn't seek investment from a bloodsucker like you. Don't flatter yourself." Shen Xi didn't even look at her, and unplugged the data cables from the robotic arms one by one.

"What do you mean by 'vampire'? I'm very generous with money when I see a project I like. Countless startups are lining up to have me do their pitches. I think your robotic arm is pretty good. Tell me your plan properly, and maybe I'll be willing to fund it." Lin Xuanqi leaned back in her chair, looking relaxed and carefree.

"I told you not to flatter yourself. I never intended for you to get involved. Please don't come and join in the fun again." The aloof girl quickly took the things away from Lin Xuanqi and put them all into her suitcase.

Lin Xuanqi's gaze followed her movements.

"Xuanqi, I suggest you calm down. She really treats money like a game of chance. You'd be better off investing in my fund instead of hers." Cheng Fei was itching to try.

"Some people are desperately trying to amass wealth for themselves, that's enough. Once the next round of funding arrives, please continue writing your algorithms. In the future, when they benefit humanity, it will be a way to atone for your profit-driven life, Cheng Fei." Shen Xi glared at him fiercely.

Lin Xuanqi's eyes flickered, and she raised her voice, saying, "If you don't accept Lin's investment, then Cheng Fei won't need to write algorithms for you."

463. RealTech Receives Investment

Shen Xi paused for a second, then turned to stare at Lin Xuanqi with a chilling expression. "Lin, this is my club activity. What does it have to do with you? Are you really sick in the head?"

"I'm a member too, why won't you let me join?" Lin Xuanqi said with a grin. "Anyway, if you won't accept my investment, I won't let Cheng Fei write the algorithm for you."

"He's my member, why should he listen to you?" Shen Xi squinted and glanced at the boy who was doing practice problems.

"Guess why? If you don't believe me, try it and you'll see." Lin Xuanqi shook her head, took out a lollipop from her pocket, tore it open, and put it in her mouth.

"Although I didn't really want to write this, please don't drag me into this fight between the two young ladies. I'm just an innocent bystander, thank you." The boy didn't even look up.

"Innocent my foot! Cheng Fei, you have to help me at a time like this, don't you hear me?" Lin Xuanqi slammed her hand on the table, clearly furious.

The boy clasped his hands together and said, "Okay, anyway, we can't write it without money. I don't think anyone but Xuanqi would be so foolish as to invest in this kind of project that wastes Happy Beans."

"What do you mean by 'can't figure it out'? I have my reasons." Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, her eyes narrowed as she stared at the boy's back, her voice trembling, "Cheng Fei, I'm really disappointed in you. Is there nothing else in your life besides money?"

"Teacher Shen, I understand that idealists like you don't care about money, but I'm a realist, and Xuanqi is my girlfriend, so I have to listen to her. Thank you," the boy said while doing his homework.

"That's enough. Do whatever you want. Don't think you're so important. I can write algorithms too. The last people to leave can lock the door themselves." Shen Xi gritted her teeth, slammed the key to the club activity room on the table, picked up several bags and suitcases, and turned to walk towards the door.

Ye Shuang, who had been observing the whole thing, suddenly said softly, "Shen Xi, why don't you reconsider? It doesn't matter who invests, as long as it's a win-win situation."

Asuna Nagasaki tilted her head and said, "Shen Xi, I think it's a good thing that Lin is willing to pay. We're all friends, and if we really want to succeed, we should seize this opportunity."

Lin Xuanqi, holding a lollipop, became serious. "Shen Xi, how much money do you want? I can give you ten million as an angel investment."

Shen Xi chuckled, walked to the door, put down the things in one hand before opening the door.

"One hundred million. I want 49% of RealTech's shares, and I can add more funding later. Shen Xi, I think your design has potential. How about we do things businesslike? This amount of money is enough for you to complete the prototype. I just need to see the real thing within two years." Lin Xuanqi spoke faster, her brows furrowed as she stared intently at the girl's back.

"Damn it, you guys are all going too far. If you have extra Happy Beans, you can donate them to me. Two years? I really don't want to waste my precious high school life writing some kind of driver algorithm." Cheng Fei grabbed his hair and looked left and right.

"One hundred million..." Nagasaki Asuna covered her mouth and let out a low gasp, as if she was also shocked.

Shen Xi, who had just stepped out the door, paused, turned her head expressionlessly, first scanning the boy with her emotionless gaze, then moving to Lin Xuanqi's face, raising her chin, and coldly uttering two words, "Ten billion."

"Teacher Shen, there's a limit to how much you can ask for, isn't there?" Cheng Fei was dumbfounded.

Lin Xuanqi frowned. "Shen Xi, you need to understand that 100 million is already equivalent to helping you reach Series A funding. That's enough for you to complete the development with peace of mind. I couldn't spend all of 1 billion even if I gave it to you now."

The atmosphere in the club activity room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. If the conversations that took place here were heard outside, they would probably shock the average high school student.

Shen Xi remained expressionless, silent for a second, then said, "Two hundred million. I'll give you 20% of the shares. The prototype can be developed in six months. It will be equipped with full AI and can act autonomously, making it better than any humanoid robot on the market."

“I object, I don’t think it’s okay, I still want my hair,” Cheng Fei said immediately.

"Six months? Are you sure? Since this is business, I need to see the complete business plan." Lin Xuanqi stared at Shen Xi's indifferent face, her eyes flickering.

"Impossible, she's just bragging. There's no business plan, she's just messing around with things haphazardly. Real Technology is just a shell company that scams investors. Xuanqi, don't believe her. My suggestion is to use these 200 million to subscribe to my fund. I guarantee you'll make a profit in six months," Cheng Fei continued.

“That’s why it costs 200 million. I will push the project forward as quickly as possible.” Shen Xi and Lin Xuanqi exchanged glances, their expressions unchanged.

“Yes, your fastest speed is to pick out whatever you want and exchange it for Happy Beans. I don’t think even 200 million would be enough for you to squander,” Cheng Fei said.

Lin Xuanqi lowered her head, pursed her lips, and stared thoughtfully at the lollipop in her hand. After a few seconds, she looked up and asked, "Who are the shareholders of Real Technology, and how many shares do they hold?"

“It’s just me and Nagasaki Asuna, we each take half.” Shen Xi said coldly.

"Speaking of which, I also want to ask this. As a core technical staff member, is it reasonable that I don't have any shares? If you keep making me work for free like this, I really won't do it anymore, thank you. At worst, I'll go to the game department. I'm sure the senior will be willing to let me leave early." The boy, who was sitting between the two and completely ignored, said.

"Twenty percent of the shares is too little. I want twenty-five percent, and I'll give Cheng Fei another twenty-five percent. As long as you agree, two hundred million is no problem. How about it?" Lin Xuanqi's lips curled up, and she had a sense of confidence.

"I love you, my wife. You really do care about me." The young man's eyes lit up.

After she finished speaking, the room fell silent again. Shen Xi's gaze darted back and forth between Cheng Fei and Lin Xuanqi, a palpable sense of disgust slowly spreading through her. Finally, she took a deep breath and lowered her eyes. "Deal. I'll give you the plan next week."

"Great, I look forward to your proposal." Lin Xuanqi clapped her hands as if in a good mood, stood up with a lollipop in her mouth, and stretched. "Cheng Fei, is there anything else? If not, let's go eat."

"Xuanqi, are you really going to give her two hundred million? I don't think it's appropriate. Should we reconsider?" The young man said earnestly.

"Don't worry about me! It's my money, not yours. No project that I, Lin Xuanqi, have ever chosen has failed. You don't need to meddle." The arrogant girl put her hands on her hips and glared at him irritably.

"Your money is my money..." the boy muttered, then shook his head as if giving up, and packed his things. "Fine, whatever makes you happy. Let's go."

Soon, the two of them, along with Ye Shuang, left the club activity room, leaving only Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna.

Nagasaki Asuna waited until the footsteps faded away, then walked to the door with her hands behind her back, peeked out to observe, and then turned back, shaking her head and sighing like someone else, "Poor Lin, you guys have really made a fool of her."

"You pity her?" Shen Xi sneered.

“No, that’s not true. After all, it’s Cheng Fei’s plan.” Nagasaki Asuna smiled.

“Take it, you vixen, we’re leaving too.” Shen Xi gave half of what she was carrying to Nagasaki Asuna.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Nagasaki Asuna followed the aloof girl, and the two left the room.

The briefly noisy club activity room returned to silence.

……

464. Lin Xuanqi believes in intuition.

Upon arriving at the school gate, Cheng Fei only saw a familiar black luxury sedan.

Ye Shuang, who was following behind the two, walked to the front, turned around, smiled and waved gently to them, "Miss, Cheng Fei, I'll go back first."

The boy was taken aback. "Master Ye, let's go eat together..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xuanqi squinted and pinched his waist.

Ye Shuang pursed her lips and shook her head, "I won't be a third wheel on your date, goodbye."

After speaking, the girl with long, straight legs encased in white over-the-knee socks and pigtails turned and got into the car with elegant manners.

Watching the car carrying Ye Shuang drive away, Lin Xuanqi turned her head with a half-smile, "Cheng Fei, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Xuanqi, I just feel sorry for Master Ye, we're all friends." The boy said seriously.

"Pity you my foot! Have some self-awareness. I've never seen a boy like you." Lin Xuanqi stuffed the lollipop, which had shrunk in half, into the boy's mouth.

"Xuanqi, you're even jealous of Master Ye now? My relationship with her is purely platonic, like that of a master and disciple." The boy exclaimed in surprise.

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense and drive there." Lin Xuanqi pushed him irritably.

When the boy drove the Panamera into the traffic, Lin Xuanqi was still sitting in the passenger seat, leaning back with her arms crossed in front of her chest and one leg crossed, looking relaxed.

"Xuanqi, I still think you gave away 200 million too hastily," Cheng Fei said casually, gripping the steering wheel.

"What, do you have a problem with this now?" Lin Xuanqi's lips curled into a smile as she glanced sideways.

"It's not that I have a problem with it, it's just that you're so stingy with the money you give me, but you give her two hundred million so easily. Do you have a crush on her?" The boy stared at the road, pondering.

Lin Xuanqi glared at him. "Cheng Fei, are you being stingy with me? Try saying that again."

"Just kidding, my wife is the best to me." The young man's expression turned serious, then worried. "So you really have a crush on her?"

"I have a crush on you, my foot! What nonsense are you thinking about all day long?" Lin Xuanqi glared at him. "You just think two hundred million is too much, huh?"

"Isn't that a lot? That's two hundred million. If you divided it among all the people in the country, there would be a penny left over."

“This 200 million is an investment, not for her to spend herself. I only wanted to tease her today, but I didn’t expect that the Dexterity Hands design to be so good. My intuition tells me that there is hope for this.” Lin Xuanqi softened her tone, her eyes flickering as she stared out the window.

"Is it good? It's mainly because my algorithm is well-written." The boy became proud.

Lin Xuanqi seemed to laugh in exasperation, pinching her brow. "Cheng Fei, I don't even know what to say to you."

"What's wrong?" The boy glanced at her briefly.

"If I say you're stupid, the algorithm you wrote is quite good; if I say you're smart, you can't see how ingenious her design is."

"Really impressive? All I knew was that she applied for a bunch of patents, and I thought she was just going to use some junk patents to swindle people."

"Let me put it this way, what you've achieved is already world-class. Compared to other similar products, they're just toys. I don't understand how you did it." Lin Xuanqi looked at the boy's profile with a suspicious gaze.

Cheng Fei stared ahead, his expression genuinely surprised. "I always thought only my algorithm was world-class, but I didn't expect her pile of plastic to be too. Could she really be a genius?"

“She’s been a genius since she was a child, otherwise I wouldn’t have given her the money so readily.” Lin Xuanqi chuckled, her expression meaningful.

"I can't quite accept it, how come there are geniuses everywhere?" the boy exclaimed in astonishment.

"Academy City is a place that gathers geniuses. You are just one of them. Don't get too cocky." Lin Xuanqi smiled sarcastically.

"I don't believe it. I think I'm quite unique among geniuses."

"You really are a weirdo." Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes.

"Xuanqi, but if you do this, I'll have to work on both fronts. Don't you think I'll be very tired?" The boy became depressed.

"Tired? It's good to be a little tired, so you won't have so much energy to burn all day long and just keep bothering me."

"You're afraid of being tortured, so you let me and Shen Xi vent our energy. Isn't that a bad idea?" the boy said in shock.

"Cheng Fei, I'm warning you." Lin Xuanqi suddenly raised her eyebrows, turned her head and stared at him with a cold snort, "You can write algorithms if you want, but if you dare to rekindle your relationship with her, I'll eat you alive."

"Just kidding, don't worry." The young man said calmly. "Besides, even if I wanted to make a comeback, do you think she could? I would like to keep on friendly terms with her, after all, she has such a powerful background, but she is really stubborn. I lent her money and helped her write algorithms, and it's like I owe her millions."

"That's true. She's the type to hold grudges. If you've offended her, she'll probably never forgive you in her lifetime." Lin Xuanqi looked into the distance and nodded.

The boy was startled. "Huh? Really? Then why should I write an algorithm? I might as well quit the club."

Lin Xuanqi's eyes narrowed, as if she realized something. She turned her head and her tone became unfriendly, "Cheng Fei, so you helped her with this in the end just to curry favor with her, right?"

"Xuanqi, calm down and listen to my explanation. I already said that I wanted to get along with her because of her powerful background. Having more friends means having more options, right? I absolutely didn't mean anything else. Don't overthink it." The boy spoke very quickly.

Lin Xuanqi laughed instead of getting angry, "You really know how to plan. You better behave yourself. I don't want to keep an eye on you every day to see which girl you're entangled with."

"What do you mean 'again'? That's not true. I'm just a friend of theirs." The boy turned the steering wheel.

"I hope so, hmph." Lin Xuanqi changed her sitting posture.

The boy glanced at her sideways and said, "Xuanqi, you're actually quite cute when you're jealous all the time."

"You think you're cute? You dare to grin at me like that. If I don't teach you a lesson, do you not realize how serious the problem is?" Lin Xuanqi frowned.

"Never mind, this is where I came from, right?" The boy parked his car outside a restaurant.

Lin Xuanqi paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked over and nodded, "Right here."

The two got out of the car and went into the tastefully decorated restaurant to take their seats.

During the meal, Cheng Fei waited until Lin Xuanqi picked up her champagne and took a sip, staring at her flawless face, and asked, "Is it good?"

"It's alright," Lin Xuanqi nodded casually.

"Then you can have this one too, so I can drive later." The boy moved his glass over to him.

Lin Xuanqi looked him up and down. "If you're not going to drink it, just leave it there. Why are you giving it to me?"

"Are you going to the company tomorrow?" the young man suddenly asked, changing the subject.

"I'll go this afternoon," Lin Xuanqi said casually as she cut her steak.

"So where are you staying tonight?"

"Yushuiyuan, what's wrong?" Lin Xuanqi looked up.

"I'll go with you?"
