Zhu Yulan looked at the signboard of the Classroom Building all the way.
She still remembered that yesterday Xu Musen had introduced himself, saying he was from this department.
Moreover, the counselor Bai Xin who had brought him here was also a popular teacher at Hu Hai University; she had easily found the office location.
Today was the last day to submit the application materials, so he would definitely come to find the counselor for a signature.
She would just stake out here for him!
At this moment, Xu Musen also brought his materials to the Classroom Building to find Bai Xin.
As he passed by a staircase, a figure suddenly burst out in front of him.
"Xu Musen, stop right there...ouch!"
Zhu Yulan wanted to jump out to intimidate him, but the staircase's tiled floor was freshly mopped and appeared very wet.
She slipped, and her whole body staggered and fell flat on her back.
What the heck? Xu Musen's mind raced with thoughts.
Is this some sort of standard Japanese anime comedy beginning?
Is the next moment where the female lead ends up on top of the male lead, accompanied by an accidental kiss?
But who am I, Xu Musen?
He was holding documents in one hand, and his other hand instinctively reached out at lightning speed.
He meant to grab her shoulder, but as she was falling quickly, Xu Musen's hand just ended up catching her fair and slender neck, his palm supporting her collarbone and halting her fall.
This scene looked like Xu Musen was choking her as he lifted her up.
But at least he managed to steady her body.
"Cough cough let go of me..."
Zhu Yulan's throat was uncomfortable, and she coughed.
Xu Musen quickly withdrew his hand, only then noticing her appearance.
Wasn't this the girl who was his competitor yesterday?
"You, cough...couldn't you have protected me just now?"
Zhu Yulan's pretty face turned red from holding her breath, and as she looked at Xu Musen, her bright eyes were also turning red from choking.
"If I hadn't protected you, you'd already be one with the floor now."
Xu Musen spoke without any courtesy, for this girl had definitely jumped out to scare him on purpose.
Zhu Yulan gently patted her chest; if she had been just a bit slower, Xu Musen's hand wouldn't have touched her collarbone but her chest...
Feeling her cheeks turn even redder, she thought to herself that even her collarbone shouldn't be casually touched by others!
"Xu Musen, you did it on purpose, didn't you!"
"What did I do on purpose?" Xu Musen felt bewildered.
"You did it on purpose... taking advantage of me, you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Musen couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Zhu Yulan gritted her teeth in anger: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's good to have confidence, but you also should weigh your own worth first, shouldn't you?"
Xu Musen shook his head with a smile.
His gaze casually swept over her chest.
Heh, even if I wanted to take advantage, you'd need to offer a bit more substance.
Wealthy people are indeed different, carrying around an airport with them.
Why would I leave An Nuannuan's big watermelon uneaten, to steal a taste from your tiny sesame seed?
Although this girl has a face score of eight or nine points and is definitely school belle material at the university,
in a long flowery dress, her long hair styled exquisitely, with delicate facial features and big, round eyes.
A tall girl with a stern face can give off a very classy feel.
It's just that Xu Musen has spent too much time around Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan, and no matter how beautiful another girl might be, to him they are just so-so.
Zhu Yulan looked down at herself and hummed... she could see half her foot.
That could barely pass for a first-year high school student's level.
She fell silent for a second or two, her pretty face suddenly turning a bit dark; she forcefully calmed her emotions.
"You're the one who jumped out, who else can you blame?"
Xu Musen didn't bother with her any longer, ready to continue upstairs.
But Zhu Yulan blocked him again, her eyes locking onto the documents in his hand.
"Xu Musen, I'll give you one more chance to think it over, hand me what you've got there, give up on this financing round, and I can give you a sum of money right now!"
As she spoke, she pulled out her purse, opened a corner, and inside was a thick stack of red bills.
It looked like about a hundred thousand.
Turns out she really is a wealthy woman.
"I'm not interested."
Xu Musen only glanced at it briefly, thinking she wanted to crush him with money?
First become richer than Yao Mingyue, not to mention there's still the adorable Nuannuan.
"There's a hundred thousand here! Even if you hit the jackpot with your investment, it's only this much money, so why won't you agree?"
"If you have that much money, why do you still need this investment opportunity so badly?"
"I'm different from you guys, I'm not doing this for the money, I'm doing it to prove to…anyway, I'm set on this investment!"
Zhu Yulan said with determination.
Xu Musen could guess a little; for wealthy second-generation entrepreneurs, it's often about proving themselves to their families.
In the movie "Police Story," the playboy Ah Zu was seeking thrills in the same way.
But most wealthy second-generation entrepreneurs end up losing money.
There's a saying that fits: don't fear a rich second generation living off their parents, fear them starting a business.
There have been real-life examples of rich second-generations trying to prove themselves only to lose everything their ancestors worked for.
But this startup was also very important to Xu Musen.
This was his turning point to fire the first shot in proving he doesn't live off others.
There was no way he could give it up!
"You have your reasons, I have mine, let's see who's got the skills."
Xu Musen shook his head, but Zhu Yulan stood at the staircase entrance, blocking him with every step he took.
It was as if she wouldn't leave today without ruling on this matter.
