145 Why Are You Here?

Ai Tingya became anxious. If she asked Luo Feng directly, she would rather find a crack in the ground to hide.

Barbara saw that her innocent appearance was very cute and smiled. “Silly girl, of course we have to talk with some skills. Would there be any special festival recently? For example, a Memorial Day or something.”

Ai Tingya thought for a moment and said, “It’s almost Luo Feng’s birthday.”

“Yes! This is it!” Barbara felt that there was no better opportunity than this. “Let’s take advantage of Luo Feng’s birthday and see if he likes girls.”

“How do I try?” Ai Tingya’s eyes lit up.

“Don’t you understand? Of course you have to wear sexier clothes, throw more flirtatious glances at him, make your movements more ambiguous, and make your voice a little sweeter. Have you seen a demon concubine who wreaks havoc in movies? Just lean in that direction! I dare to say that not many men can withstand it! As long as he likes a girl, he will definitely kneel obediently under your pomegranate skirt!”

The more Barbara spoke, the more excited she became. She felt that she could simply start a training class.

Ai Tingya understood what she meant. She blushed and said shyly, “But I don’t have experience… I don’t know what to do with clothes.”

“Hmph!” Barbara knew that it was time for her to appear!

“What are you afraid of with me around? Isn’t Luo Feng’s birthday just a few days away? I guarantee that I’ll nurture you into a boneless beautiful woman. I guarantee that Luo Feng’s nose will bleed! Tingya, are you willing to believe me?”

Ai Tingya bit her nails and thought for a long time before nodding slightly.

She would give it her all in order to know Luo Feng’s true intentions!

…

After Xie Yan escaped, he did not return to the dormitory. Instead, he went to a rental house near the school. This was their company’s office. It was not big, but there was a lot of equipment. Wires were spread all over the ground, and he was especially careful when he walked.

He opened the door and quickly entered. He leaned against the door and panted, feeling a lingering fear of escaping from the tiger’s mouth. It was as if Luo Feng would eat him if he ran any slower.

Xie Yan took deep breaths, his voice attracting the attention of the people in the room.

The door of the room opened at the same time, and more than ten people walked out and stood at the door. They all looked at the shocked Xie Yan expectantly.

One of the girls brought him a bottle of water. “What scared you so much?”

Xie Yan drank a few mouthfuls of water and waved his hand, indicating that he could not explain it in a few sentences.

After he recovered, a boy asked, “Xie Yan, have you asked Teacher Zhu? Is the school willing to support our company?”

Hearing this, Xie Yan paused for a moment and looked up with a dark expression. The others seemed to have a premonition and looked at their leader helplessly.

Xie Yan felt deeply guilty.

His partners in starting a business together were all his classmates. When he called for a partnership, he was ambitious. He did not expect it to end so miserably.

Xie Yan’s throat tightened as he looked at this shabby office. He could not say anything.

“I’ve let everyone down…” He lowered his head and bowed deeply to everyone.

It could be said that everyone standing here was gathered because of their trust in him. Xie Yan also thought that he could lead everyone to make a name for themselves, but reality proved that not only was he naive, but he was also weak.

The female voice holding the water sighed and comforted him. “Don’t say that. Everyone knows how much you’ve done for the company. You’ve done your best. You don’t have to feel sorry for us.”

The others nodded one after another, not blaming Xie Yan at all.

“Applying for entrepreneurial support is our last resort. It seems that we really can’t persist anymore.” A boy’s voice was hoarse, and his tone was very low.

The second-hand trading platform they opened was mainly targeted at students from the school. On the weekends, they would also go to other universities to publicize and increase the number of users.

However, the customer base was still too small to make a profit.

They had been running it for more than half a year. Not only did they not earn money, they had also spent a lot of money on equipment, water, and electricity.

Actually, they could endure it if it was just these fees. After all, there were more than 10 people. Some of them had better family backgrounds and their families paid more.

However, the server fee for the website was too expensive.

For the students who asked their families for money, they really could not hold on anymore.

Other than Xie Yan taking out the money he had saved for more than 10 years to make up for it, the others also took out money one after another. At a rough calculation, there might be hundreds of thousands.

He was completely relying on his hot-bloodedness to work. If it was someone else who needed to support their family, they might have long quit one’s job, to shirk one’s responsibility.

Speaking of the current situation, everyone worked hard, but they were helpless.

Xie Yan gritted his teeth and said, “Let my father buy the company. At least we can continue and we can get some money.”

He was really at his wits’ end.

Xie Yan was more unwilling to accept the consequences of going home to ask for help than anyone else. It was not that he had a problem with his parents, but once his powerful biological father made a move, this company would no longer belong to him.

Out of educational ideals, his father would encourage Xie Yan to try. However, it was like an adult looking at a child building a sand castle. He would say a few words when he saw the finished product, but that was all. He would not think that tiny sand castle was an outstanding work.

Xie Yan felt that this was how his father looked at his company.

The adults encouraged them. If a child asked for money to buy bricks and tiles and build a better house, the adults would readily agree, but this house would have to be written with the adults’ names in the future and be controlled by the adults.

It became working for someone.

This company contained Xie Yan’s dream.

He enrolled in the Finance Faculty under the instructions of his parents because his family was in business. However, Xie Yan’s favorite was the Computer Science or the Software Faculty. With his results at that time, he could definitely enter the top Software Faculty.

However, he had strong parents at home. He studied finance because they wanted him to inherit his family’s company in the future.

Xie Yan felt bored thinking about it.

“Think about it, Xie Yan. Everyone here has to disperse if your father buys the company.” The others advised.

Everyone got along day and night and understood Xie Yan’s inner thoughts—he just wanted to prove to his father that he could be successful if he insisted on working on the Internet!

In a way, the website was indeed developing well.

However, the older generation measured success with money. It was also true that they were not profitable.

Even though Xie Yan’s father was very generous and could give a high price of one million yuan, it was similar to severance pay. He might be a mascot when he bought it back or he might close it directly. Only then could Xie Yan study wholeheartedly.

Xie Yan understood it all too well and did not relent.

A boy wearing glasses was very angry and said angrily, “Xie Yan, everyone is still thinking of a way. How can you retreat first? Don’t forget how confident you were when you asked me to come over!”

“I’m sorry, but I really can’t think of a way.” Xie Yan was already prepared to accept reality.
