Chapter 190: Feeding the soft rice directly into the mouth
It was already 11:30 p.m. when I returned to the dormitory. I didn't get to have my midnight snack and almost ate Teacher Xu under the cover of the small-leaf banyan tree.
Tonight, the brothers in dormitory 414 did not play Poker for once. Instead, they lay on their beds and talked about the final exams at the end of the month and their upcoming sophomore year.
Chen Jianghe had no intention of joining in on this topic. After taking a shower and lying on the bed, his mind echoed with the words often said by the bastards in anti-Japanese dramas: " Conscience is the best."
"Freshman year life is wonderful, I hope there won't be any complications in sophomore year."
Chen Jianghe thought about it and was about to close his eyes and go to sleep when his phone beeped and received a text message.
I picked it up and took a look. It was sent by Yang Wanying.
"Mr. Chen, I have good news for you. You should be awake yet, right?"
Chen Jianghe jumped out of bed and typed back the message with full energy: "Of course not. We, the new generation of college students, are promising young people who get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs. Now is the time to study late into the night. How can I sleep?"
Yang Wanying received the message and replied with a smile: "Did I disturb you from studying?"
Chen Jianghe replied immediately: "If Mr. Yang's good news is worth more, then it's no big deal."
"Haha, you are really interesting and realistic." Yang Wanying laughed and deliberately kept it a secret: "My news is worth 10 million."
"Really?" Chen Jianghe was very calm.
Yang Wanying wanted to whet his appetite, but when she saw that he only replied with two words, she simply said, "Yes, after an in-depth study of you and your Light Chaser team, the company has decided to add an additional 10 million to provide you with 40 million angel round financing."
“I’m flattered.”
"Since we are so sincere, Mr. Chen shouldn't have to think about it any further, right?"
"It's something to consider."
Chen Jianghe still hasn't made a final decision. He knows very well that the money from Hongyan Capital is actually a hot potato. The more they take now, the return they will get will be dozens or even hundreds of times in the future.
Although Chen Jianghe may not necessarily succeed after receiving this financing, he has to make long-term considerations.
In other words, Chen Jianghe can accept capital adding icing on the cake, but he cannot accept them providing timely assistance, otherwise he will be strangled at the critical moment.
"I will stay in eastern Guangdong for a while. If I'm free, we can have a cup of coffee together." Yang Wanying replied patiently.
"OK."
Chen Jianghe did not refuse, but did not say when he would be free.
After being disturbed by Yang Wanying, the sleepiness that he had just been trying to build up with his eyes closed suddenly disappeared. Chen Jianghe lay back on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
"Jiang He, if you can't sleep, just stay awake and chat with us."
At this time, Liu Dongliang stretched out his big black legs and kicked the head of Chen Jianghe's bed.
"What were you talking about?"
Chen Jianghe sat up, took out a cigarette from the pants hanging at the end of the bed that he had not yet washed, lit one, and asked with interest.
"Is there any need to ask this?" Liu Dongliang swung his legs and said, "Of course it is a long-standing topic in our boys' dormitory."
"Oh, are you talking about studying?" Chen Jianghe smiled.
"Third brother, since you became the deputy secretary of the college's Youth League Committee, you have begun to distance yourself from the masses."
Sun Tian muttered, "We were just discussing how to help Kaizi get out of being single."
"Xiaotian, aren't you single too?" Chen Jianghe glanced at Sun Tian.
"I'm young, so being single doesn't matter."
Sun Tian smiled and said, "When all the brothers are single, I will strike hard and find eight or ten girlfriends. I will take turns dating them from Monday to the weekend and sleep with whoever I want."
"Your idea is a bit against heaven."
Chen Jianghe couldn't help but be amazed, thinking that you, a young man who has never been in love, have an open mind. You have the courage to fantasize about a harem life without even holding a girl's hand.
"Xiaotian, as someone who has been through this, let me advise you not to live in a dream. If you really find eight or ten girlfriends in reality, I dare say that sooner or later you will be like me, getting beaten three times a day." Wang Yuanpeng continued.
Hearing this, Sun Tian curled his lips and said, "Brother Peng, you deserved to be beaten. Before you hooked up with Li Niantao, you lived a carefree life. Now you are like a rat crossing the street. There are always people inside and outside the school who want to beat you up."
Wang Yuanpeng smiled awkwardly, feeling really depressed when thinking about what he had experienced during this period.
But fortunately, because he often went to the infirmary, he was lucky enough to get the chance to meet a young nurse who helped him bandage his wounds.
"Third brother, can I dare to ask you a question that I shouldn't ask?"
Sun Tian suddenly shifted the topic to Chen Jianghe.
Chen Jianghe raised his hand to flick the ash off his cigarette and said, "Your words sound awkward. If you shouldn't ask, then don't ask."
"No, I feel uncomfortable holding it in."
Sun Tian scratched his head and said bluntly, "Song Jia, who ran into the classroom to confess her love to you last time, is pretty. You rejected her so straightforwardly at that time, which was really unexpected. Did you keep in touch with her secretly afterwards?"
"Damn it, you old man, if you want her contact information, just go find her boldly, don't ask me for the truth."
Chen Jianghe immediately saw through Sun Tian’s little thoughts.
"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong." Sun Tian waved his hands and said, "I just find it strange. Normal people are fickle-minded and accept everyone who comes to them. How can you, Third Brother, refuse a beautiful woman's confession?"
"You don't understand this, I am actually very loyal."
Chen Jianghe smiled, put out his cigarette, and lay on the bed without saying anything.
…
As the final exams approach, the learning atmosphere in major universities has become intense again.
However, Chen Jianghe, who was busy with his career, had no intention of studying at this time. During this period, Nuomi Group Buying received support from several major capitals. By continuously increasing subsidies to merchants and spending money on advertising to expand its influence, it conquered the Pearl River Delta and started a fierce competition with the 9527 company. The market was booming.
Under the heavy pressure of the glutinous rice group buying, 9527 Company behaved like an indestructible cockroach. After the company's president Deng Yongqing's campaigning, it finally obtained venture capital from several state-owned enterprises and temporarily saved its life.
In early July, all major universities started their summer vacation, but Chen Jianghe was very busy. He traveled to nine cities in the Pearl River Delta and, under tremendous pressure, personally led his team to confront Nuomi Group Buying head-on.
"Boss, my dad has come to the Light Chaser base. He wants to meet you."
On July 12, Chen Jianghe, who was on his way back to eastern Guangdong from Zhongshan, received a call from Lin Siqi.
"I'm on my way back. I'll be there in about an hour and a half."
Chen Jianghe checked the time and asked with a smile, "Is my father-in-law very angry, blaming me for leaving you in Guangdong and not going home to accompany him?"
"He's not angry at all, he just wants to meet his future son-in-law."
Lin Siqi said with a smile: "I told my father about the trouble you encountered, and he said he would find a way to help you solve the financial problem."
"Are you feeding free food directly into my mouth?" Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows. During this period, he not only led the business on the front line and fought wits and courage with Nuomi Group Buying, but also dealt with Penguin Group and Red Rock Capital. He was really exhausted both physically and mentally.
"No." Lin Siqi denied with a smile: "If you want to make Light Chaser independent, you will need capital support. Instead of taking advantage of Penguin Group or Red Rock Capital, why not bring in dad and ask him to gather a bunch of uncles to raise funds for you? Maybe he can help you get out of trouble in the time it takes to have a meal?"
