Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 817: Chapter 124: Negotiation (Part 2)

At this moment, Ye Heng’s mind was racing, calculating quickly. If he had the opportunity to demonstrate his abilities in front of someone from Roster or Mengshan Company, he might be able to stay in the United States and not be confined under the narrow sky of the Huake Institute.

In fact, given Ye Heng’s age and current cultivation level, it was very difficult for him to make another breakthrough in the short term. The few advanced students at the Huake Institute, like Wang Shuai, all balanced personal life and studies by attending classes irregularly.

But Ye Heng didn’t have Wang Shuai’s good background, nor was he good at socializing with others. He couldn’t get the school’s recommendation, which is why he became the only long-term on-campus advanced student.

Besides personal relationship issues, his future also troubled him. Xu Lan Ya owed him a big favor; what he needed to do now was to fulfill her requirements and hopefully make a striking impression at the exchange meeting.

By then, there would be no need to worry about the North Campus or the Wang Family people.

Thinking about a bright future and the halo of honor, as well as the money and glory surrounding him, Ye Heng completely lost his direction.

After Xu Lan Ya indirectly introduced Aisha to Ye Heng.

She pretended to specially go to the airport to send Aisha off returning home and leaked the information that Zhu Xiaoxian and others were going to attend the international exchange meeting to her in advance. Upon learning this, Aisha didn’t seem too pleased.

"What’s wrong, America is your territory. By then, shouldn’t the annoying freshman be at your mercy?" Xu Lan Ya inquired curiously.

"There’s nothing to be happy about. I made an excuse for Zhou Ziang to return to serve as the leader of Mengshan’s exchange group to the United States this time. Who knew she would also be selected, she’s like a ghost that won’t leave," Aisha gritted her teeth. If she had known, she wouldn’t have needed her mother to force Zhou Ziang back to Mengshan in the name of the company.

"You mean that man from last time in Snow Gully, what a coincidence indeed. Aisha, I’m not saying that in terms of appearance and family background, you’re no worse than that female student. If you don’t use some means, the person might really be snatched away," Xu Lan Ya instigated. "However, I have already thought about it. I’ve planted an insider in the Huake Institute exchange group. By then, you can work from the inside and outside to deal with them as you wish."

After receiving a phone call from Xiao Xian, Wang Shuai showed up under the new apartment building at Farmer Spring, feeling somewhat uneasy, yet the temptation of the full armor set Xiao Xian mentioned still took effect.

"No need to look like you’ve seen a ghost. Yi Yi went on a big shopping trip for the exchange student matters," a head popped out of a two-story small western-style house situated on the outer edge of district C.

Upon learning that Yi Yi was not there, he felt a bit more at ease, but there was also a sense of loss.

Last time, after impulsively mentioning that Beastmen might not be able to have children, Wang Shuai saw Yi Yi’s suddenly pale face, and his heart was gripped with pain.

Being groomed since birth to be the future head of the Wang Family, he was warned from an early age against openly showing feelings whether he liked or disliked something, and never to expose any weakness to outsiders. In the army, he was a young commander known for swift operations, at home, the Wang Family’s extraordinarily talented leader, at the North Campus, the youngest advanced student and Protector in the records.

Surrounded by too many halos, he was lost in the fog, unable to discern which was the real him and what he truly wanted to pursue.

Then that person appeared, different from those around him, just fairly attractive, with a lovable Baozi face and an explosive temper she didn’t know how to hide, who loved snacks yet feared gaining weight and loved spending money yet was a penny-pincher. Wang Shuai never understood what it was about such a contradictory person that attracted him.

Until that day, when he spoke of that harsh reality, although she seemed terribly upset, she still tried to control her tears from falling, and he realized it was because Zhang Yiyi was the most genuine person he’d ever met.

Reality, something he always wanted yet was unable to pursue, an extravagance.

"Senior Brother Wang, stop staring into space. I believe with the international exchange student matters, everyone has a pile of materials to prepare, let’s directly start the discussion for which we invited you here today. The wrist guard Xiao Xian gave you last time has been inspected, right? Did it meet your requirements?" The overly calm new student Zeng Xuerou poured him a cup of tea and watched him with a scrutinizing and slightly sarcastic look.

Xuerou’s penetrating gaze made Wang Shuai feel very uncomfortable.

This female student named Zeng Xuerou had eyes that were excessively wise for her age.

Come to think of it, those round eyes on Baozi face were much more likable.

Why think of her again, enough of this, Wang Shuai scolded himself quietly.

"It meets the requirements, and in terms of weight and longevity, it far exceeded our expectations," Wang Shuai had already handed the wrist guard, which was only the size of a basketball wrist guard, over to the military for testing.

The test results far exceeded both his and his father’s requirements.

The wrist guard could block the shooting of large-caliber handguns and was very lightweight. If armor were made from the same material, wearing it would weigh much less than ordinary bullet-proof armor, comparable to the weight of a regular down jacket.

"That’s great, exactly what we hoped for. Then Xiao Xian’s aunt can be freely discharged after childbirth, regarding the favor of the antiemetic, we’re even." Xuerou decisively took out the agreement Xiao Xian and the Wang Family had signed and gestured to tear it in half.

"Wait, what do you mean by this?" Wang Shuai interrupted Xuerou’s string of words, feeling he had been manipulated. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian () to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
