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

"Um, he seems to be with the student council president." Zhou Han looked up, her round eyes darting around, a hint of guilt on someone's behalf flickering across her face.

"Student council president?" the cool-looking girl asked suspiciously.

"It's Kong Siyuan. She's an investment representative, so of course Cheng Fei has to go with her. Don't overthink it," Zhou Han said quickly.

"I understand." Shen Xi's face turned cold, and she walked straight in a certain direction.

"Ruan Jingyi, don't you think she looks like she's going to catch her husband cheating?" Zhou Han whispered to her best friend as she watched the slender figure disappear into the distance.

In a quiet corner on the other side, the two sat alone together.

Kong Siyuan slowly swirled the wine in her glass, gazing at the young man before her, a shrewd yet ambiguous smile playing on her lips. "Oh dear~ Cheng Fei, how are you going to thank your sister this time? It took me a lot of effort to persuade my family to give you these hundreds of millions?"

"Sister Siyuan is my half-sister, of course I will run the company well to repay you." The young man said seriously.

“That’s not the kind of reward I want.” Kong Siyuan stared at his face with great interest.

"What kind of reward does Sister Siyuan want?"

"Well, I'll think about it." Kong Siyuan tapped her cheek with her fingers, casually placing her wine glass in front of him before taking his.

Naturally, both of their glasses had been emptied.

Without making a sound, the young man turned her wine glass around and took a sip from the side she hadn't touched. "Sister Siyuan, just tell me what you want to do, and I'll do whatever I can."

"How about spending the night with your sister tonight?" Kong Siyuan changed her sitting position, her legs, encased in semi-transparent black pantyhose, crossed under the table, revealing just the right amount of flesh. Her black high heels intentionally or unintentionally bumped into the boy.

"No, that's impossible." The boy shook his head without hesitation.

"You're really not being polite at all in rejecting your sister now?" Kong Siyuan rolled her eyes at him, her smile tinged with anger.

"Shen Xi will kill me." The boy clasped his hands together.

Kong Siyuan glanced behind him, her eyes darting around, but her smile remained unchanged. "So, you two are already together?"

"Not yet." The boy shook his head.

"Why is that? You finally broke up with her, but now you don't want to be with her anymore?" Kong Siyuan laughed.

"No, that's not it. She's too arrogant." The boy clicked his tongue, sounding somewhat annoyed.

"Is that all?" Kong Siyuan asked, her curiosity genuine.

"Well, is it my fault or something?" the boy said without a hint of guilt.

"Then why don't you consider other girls?" Kong Siyuan glanced behind him and said with a smile.

"It's not that I haven't considered it. For example, I'm also very tempted by someone as wonderful as you, Sister Siyuan. But I'm a person who stays true to one person, so I'm sorry, Sister Siyuan." The boy bowed his head sincerely, trying to finish the juicy steak on his plate.

"You really think your sister is great? Tell me why, I want to hear it." Kong Siyuan blinked.

The boy pondered for a moment, "Well, Sister Siyuan is easier to get along with, her temper is much better than hers."

"Really?" Kong Siyuan covered her mouth and laughed. "Anything else?"

"Anything else? Hmm, Sister Siyuan is very generous. She always grants my every request, unlike her, who is often stingy." The boy stared at the steak, thinking seriously, and nodded to himself.

"Is there any more?" Kong Siyuan picked up her glass of red wine, took a sip, and suppressed the upward curve of her lips.

"Sister Siyuan, why are you asking this all day? Are you jealous of her?" The boy looked genuinely surprised, then lowered his voice, "If I had to say, Sister Siyuan has a better figure than her. Of course, don't tell her that. Sister Siyuan wouldn't betray me, would she?"

"How could that be, sister? You're my half-brother, from a different father and mother." Kong Siyuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a sneer.

"That's good... Why is the air conditioner so cold?" The boy suddenly shivered, looked up in confusion, trying to find the air vent, and then froze.

A cool, aloof girl with long, dark hair stood behind him, looking down at him with her delicate, beautiful face as cold as ice.

Those pure, ink-black eyes stared at him for a moment, then she gave a cold laugh and turned back to where she came from.

The boy calmly turned back to face the camera, put down his knife and fork, pursed his lips, and said, "Sister Siyuan, something suddenly comes up, please excuse me."

Kong Siyuan covered her mouth, lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled. She could no longer speak and could only wave at him.

The boy grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth, then got up and quickly chased after the aloof girl.

"Teacher Shen." The boy followed her without making a sound.

"Don't call me." The girl's slender legs moved quickly, and she narrowed her eyes without looking at him.

"For the sake of all these people in the company, how about you do me the favor and pretend you didn't hear anything?"

"Oh."

"Teacher Shen, you were really wrong!"

"Trash! Die!"

So when the ordinary employees who were enjoying drinks and food together not far away inadvertently turned around, they saw the handsome young man who was the company's founder being kicked viciously by the aloof young woman who was also a founder. They rubbed their eyes and saw the two walking side by side without incident, so they could only pretend that it was a hallucination caused by being drunk and put it out of their minds.

……

Leaving aside the part about the boy being scolded, after some time, Cheng Fei and Shen Xi returned to the corner belonging to the Corridor Research Department.

"Your Highness, please enjoy." The young man placed the tiramisu, which had been specially delivered by the hotel, in front of her with utmost respect.

The aloof young woman sat upright with a furrowed brow. With extreme displeasure, she picked up a spoon and took a bite of the dessert. Her cool, soft cheeks twitched, and the chill dissipated slightly.

"What's wrong with them?" Zhou Han whispered in Nagasaki Asuna's ear.

"Something seems to have happened, but we'd better leave it alone." The sweet girl was trying not to laugh.

She had been watching the scene from a distance, and although she couldn't hear anything, her excellent senses allowed her to guess most of what had happened.

Cheng Fei coughed lightly and looked at the group without showing any emotion. "Then I'll make an official announcement: after so much hard work, RealTech has finally secured funding. Let's give them a round of applause."

After he finished speaking, the boy led the applause, followed by Nagasaki Asuna, Zhou Han, and Milian.

"I would like to give a special thank you to my senior for bringing in a large investment from her hometown." The boy then clapped.

"Hmph, no need to thank me, no need to thank me! It's nothing!" Miriam put on a nonchalant attitude, her smugness written all over her face.

"Also, could you please give my regards to your father, Ruan Jingyi? We will continue to cooperate with Rongchuan Electromechanical in the future." Cheng Fei then looked to the other side.

The quiet girl met his gaze and nodded silently.

Nagasaki Asuna pondered for a moment, "Speaking of which, what about Lin-san? She's an angel investor."

"She has already notified them according to procedure, and the equity dilution is being carried out in accordance with regulations," the young man said casually.

"What does equity dilution mean?" Zhou Han asked curiously.

"Simply put, after the financing and issuance of new shares, our original shareholding ratio decreased." The boy held up one finger.

"Ah, isn't it a bad thing that your proportion has decreased?" The petite girl's round eyes widened slightly.

The boy shook his head. "Not really. Before, including Lin Xuanqi, the four of us each owned 25%. However, because the valuation was only 600 million, each person's shares were only worth 150 million. This time, Real Technology raised funds at a premium, with a valuation of 3 billion. We received 2.3 billion. After dilution, each of our four shares is only about 14%, but the value has become 750 million, which is several times higher."

"It's always at times like this that Cheng Feiyu is the most eager to explain," Shen Xi scoffed from the side.

"Ah, oh... so you have seven hundred million now?!" Zhou Han nodded as if she understood, then suddenly realized something and stared at the boy in disbelief.

"Of course not, this is just the theoretical value of the equity. You can only realize its value if someone buys it." The boy shrugged.

"That's still quite frightening. You guys are worth 700 million now." Zhou Han glanced at the three people in front of him, his eyes empty.

"It's just a number." The boy shook his head and sighed nonchalantly, then scooped up a piece of tiramisu from in front of Shen Xi and prepared to eat it.

A sharp, piercing gaze came straight at us from the side.

The boy froze. "Teacher Shen, can I have a bite of the one percent share, just so I can have a piece?"

"No." The girl said coldly and without hesitation.

"As expected of my teacher, Ms. Shen." The boy reluctantly smeared the dessert back into place, then, under the girl's extremely disgusted gaze, licked the remaining bits off his spoon.

"So for Lin, this investment has yielded several times the return, so it's not too bad?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head.

"Lin Xuanqi was so quick to give you money back then, that was really impressive," Zhou Han exclaimed.

Since her words went unanswered, the petite girl looked around, took a sip of juice, and pretended nothing had happened.

As the dinner party progressed into its later stages, Sun Ling strode over carrying a heavy black folder. "President Cheng, everything is ready. Shall we announce it now?"

The boy nodded, got up, and followed her away.

Soon, Cheng Fei, accompanied by Sun Ling, arrived in front of everyone, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said, "Everyone, there is something else important. I'll keep it short."

The noisy dinner table quickly quieted down, and the person who had been daydreaming was patted on the shoulder by his companion and looked up, and everyone's eyes were drawn to him.

"Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to the company during this time. Without you, Real Technology would not exist. Therefore, I am now officially announcing our equity incentive plan." The young man's gaze swept over everyone, and his casual tone made it sound like he was talking about something trivial. "We will set aside 10% of the company's total share capital, which is about 500 million, as an option pool. As the company's earliest employees, everyone here will receive corresponding equity incentives."

"If I remember correctly, even the lowest-ranking administrative assistant can earn over 500,000. Sister Wu will explain the specific allocation plan to everyone later." The young man said, glancing at the middle-aged woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses not far away.

As the light, airy words fell, the restaurant fell silent, until the sound of chopsticks falling onto a plate came from somewhere.

As he spoke, he took the confirmation form from Sun Ling beside him and picked up a pen.

Everyone stared intently at his movements, not blinking.

The boy was about to sign when he stopped, looked at them, raised an eyebrow, and looked at them with a serious expression of doubt. "What do you mean by not saying anything? Don't you want it? Then forget it."

"No, I want it, Mr. Cheng!" Xia Meng, who was closest to him, cried out anxiously.

The other employees hesitated, then looked at each other.

"Just kidding." The boy laughed with the satisfaction of a successful prank, quickly signed his name on the confirmation form, handed the things to Sun Ling, tossed the pen to Xia Meng, and clapped his hands. "Okay, it's all over now."

As he turned and left with his hands in his pockets, a burst of applause erupted in the room, sounding as if the roof was about to be blown off. It was a mix of cheers and applause. Some people hadn't even realized what was happening when their companions grabbed their shoulders and shook them.

Nagasaki Asuna smiled, her bright eyes clearly reflecting the boy's figure. Her fair and shapely legs were pressed tightly together under her skirt, and she clapped along with the employees.

"What do you mean? What do you mean? Equity incentive? Does that mean Ruan Jingyi and I are also included?" Zhou Han was still confused.

Shen Xi lowered her eyes and remained expressionless, as if she couldn't hear or see anything, and continued eating her tiramisu.

The story of how the boy was dragged back by his frenzied employees after only a few steps, and was unable to escape, is another story.

……

into the night.

Cheng Fei returned to Guang'an Street.

At the intersection below the rented apartment, a convoy of black luxury cars had stopped there at some point, quietly blending into the night. Familiar men in black were dutifully guarding the vicinity.

They did not move when they noticed the boy's arrival.

Cheng Fei frowned, ignoring the situation downstairs for the time being, and went upstairs on his own.

He stopped when he arrived at his doorstep.

A haughty girl with cascading black hair stood against the wall, wearing the Sakura school uniform and sheer black pantyhose. Her hands were behind her back, and her graceful figure was undeniably eye-catching.

She carried a faint smell of alcohol. Hearing footsteps, she quickly looked up, her eyes red and moist.

922. Ye Shuang's advice to Lin Xuanqi was...

In the silent stairwell, the two stared at each other for a second in silence.

The boy looked away, pretending not to see anything, and took out his keys to open the door as usual.

"Cheng Fei, congratulations on your successful fundraising," Lin Xuanqi said softly, looking at him.

"Congratulations on your successful investment, Miss Lin." The young man didn't look at her and opened the door to the rented room on his own.

"You went to a celebration party today, didn't you? You're only just getting back now." The haughty young woman said nonchalantly.

"Don't follow me." The boy who walked in turned around and looked at the girl behind him with a blank expression.

Lin Xuanqi stopped and stared into the boy's eyes. Her eyes immediately reddened, and she asked in a muffled voice, "Why?"

"I was just about to ask you what you're doing at my doorstep so late at night?" the boy said, looking down at her.

The girl opened her mouth, gripped the hem of her school uniform skirt tightly with both hands, and gently bit her rosy lips. "I missed you."

She walked slowly to the boy, took a deep breath, and looked up. Perhaps because of the alcohol, her naturally flawless face was flushed with an unnatural redness. She whispered, "Don't you want to drag me in now and tear my pantyhose?"

As she spoke, something flickered in her reddish eyes. Her former arrogance had vanished without a trace, replaced by a pitiful humility and vulnerability.

"Not interested." The boy remained unmoved.

"Take me inside, you can do whatever you want with me, make me do the splits, choke me, kill me." Lin Xuanqi's eyelashes trembled as she tiptoed, her hands climbing onto the boy's shoulders. She leaned close to his ear, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, utterly seductive, "Daddy..."
