Chapter 816: Chapter 124: Negotiation
Xu Lan Ya couldn’t believe Ye Heng would propose such terms, as if he thought the current situation wasn’t already troubling enough.
"Are you still asleep or just out of your mind? Do you even know your identity and mine?" After satisfying Ye Heng in the usual way, Xu Lan Ya mentioned that he should deal with those two annoying freshmen during the exchange program.
She wasn’t unaware of Ye Heng’s intentions, but she didn’t expect him to shamelessly propose marriage.
"And what about Li Ye, what’s his status? Your Xu family is a Cultivation Family, and if his family knows about the relationship between you and me, would they still accept you? Besides, you are a few years older than him. He hasn’t paid you any attention for a while now, even choosing that freshman to accompany him for the international exchange program. Stop fooling yourself," Ye Heng brought up Li Ye and Wang Shuai, two men—one Xu Lan Ya couldn’t obtain, and the other she was forced to marry.
Bringing both of them up at once nearly made Xu Lan Ya faint from anger.
Zhu Xiaoxian’s connection with planting the rare Purple Ginseng made Ye Heng’s selection a logical outcome.
As for Zhang Yiyi, the only explanation could be that Wang Shuai, as one of the team leaders, played a role in her selection.
If only Li Ye were willing to marry Xu Lan Ya, Wang Shuai wouldn’t matter to her. However, if she was ditched by Wang Shuai for that clueless freshman, where would she put her pride?
"Fine, I agree to your terms, but I also have a condition. After the exchange program, only one person needs to return, and that’s you," with Cangqiong Palace’s selection time looming in a year and a half, Xu Lan Ya was already devising a poisonous scheme, planning to slowly deal with Ye Heng after dealing with Wang Shuai and those annoying freshmen.
Even removing Wang Shuai? Xu Lan Ya’s suggestion made Ye Heng waver a bit; it seemed too ambitious for his current strength.
"Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to assist you. Each international exchange program sees a few people inexplicably disappear, and even the National Security Bureau can’t find them," Xu Lan Ya handed Ye Heng a business card.
Despite some concerns about Wang Shuai, Ye Heng remembered the last international exchange program he originally had a chance to attend too. It was snatched away by Wang Shuai, who had just entered the Reverse Genius Class as a dark horse.
After becoming an Advanced Student, Ye Heng thought he’d never get another chance to attend the international exchange program. Unexpectedly, an accidental demotion turned into a blessing, giving him this opportunity.
He was bound to clash with Wang Shuai sooner or later, so preparing in advance might even eliminate Wang Shuai, making glory and romance a delightful prospect.
Xu Lan Ya mentioned someone who could help her—could it be the Xu family’s influence was so vast they had connections even in the United States?
Ye Heng took the card, which bore the name of a woman called "Roster Aisha."
Xu Lan Ya hadn’t introduced Aisha to Ye Heng before; partly because she didn’t like her admirers fawning over other women, and partly because she didn’t want Ye Heng to know too much about the Xu family’s relationship with the Roster family.
Now the situation had changed, with Ye Heng determined to aim for more than he could handle, she’d be happy if he shifted his attention to Aisha and became free of this persistent annoyance. So she generously introduced Aisha to him.
"Roster? Is that the famous financial conglomerate the Roster? And Mengshan Company, isn’t that the multinational group renowned globally for its biotechnology?" Ye Heng felt a massive windfall had landed before him as he only knew this exchange program would have him in the United States for six months.
"Although I don’t fancy that woman, once you’re in the United States, she rules there. Unlike Huake Institute here, there’s no dedicated academy, so the exchange should involve Mengshan researchers, and Aisha should be among them. Coincidentally, she happens to dislike a freshman called Zhu Xiaoxian. Your focus should only be completely on dealing with Wang Shuai." Since Wang Shuai wasn’t being polite, she felt no need to hold back either.
The locations for each international exchange program vary, and the last one Wang Shuai attended was in Australia.
