I'm A Baller

Chapter 461: Damn, How Could It Be Her!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Gu Jiashu looked to the left and saw He Meng looking very curious.

Looking to the right, Yu Qiuli had on a reserved and proud smile and looked very pleased with herself.

He was instantly angry.

You dog!! Why could you always find such a unique angle to put on that refreshing and refined comparison?!

Too bad for He Meng, Datou kept a respectful distance from her and didn’t look very interested. The main point was that Yu Qiuli kept staring at Wang Yan, it was too freaking uncomfortable!

After that, there was a lot of noise. Everyone asked Wang Yan a lot of questions until those dummies started to drink. Only then did they shift their attention away.

The young master didn’t actually tell them much about his own situation. He didn’t go too far, but he had already made the students accept his identity as a godly tycoon.

To interpret it using industrial jargon, his alternate persona was a big success!

HIs classmates’ curiosities were satisfied, and they gradually changed the topic to He Meng.

“Beauty He, when do you plan to go abroad?”

“I’m not planning on doing that.”

He Meng shook her head slightly, and the table immediately exploded with chatter.

“Huh? Why? Aren’t rich heirs like you all set to go overseas?”

“That’s right! Why aren’t you going to a famous school?”

“Those guys from our grade who have family backgrounds that are far worse than yours. They all went to the Ivy League!”

“I heard from them that all of you will be going abroad to cultivate an international perspective so that you can come back to inherit…”

“I always thought that you would go to some noble girls’ school in Eagle Country…”

Wang Yan was also a little puzzled as he listened to everyone’s chatter.

There were not many top heirs studying in the country, especially in Gu Jiao, where the middle class desperately sent their children abroad. Two-thirds of the freshmen from the private high school next door had all gone overseas.

It was hard to determine how He Meng’s family ranked in the country. However, they were definitely top-class in the mining city. They could go abroad at any time.

So, it was because she didn’t like it?

“I don’t like it.”

Just as Wang Yan had this thought, He Meng shook her head and said lightly.

Huh? Do I really know her that well?

The young master was shocked.

“Actually, I personally feel that talking about international perspectives now is a rather hollow thing.”

He Meng raised her chin slightly, her back straightened, her voice steady, and her tone calm.

“This year is already 2016. China is the world’s second largest economy and the largest industrial producer. Although economic growth has slowed down, there is still an endless amount of internal driving force and endless development opportunities.

Not only have those old capitalist countries been left behind economically, but they’re also facing all kinds of institutional difficulties and social fragmentation.

After graduating from university, I would definitely stay to develop in China and follow the trends of the times. It’s much more important to explore opportunities from the inside than build up things like international perspective.

Instead of studying abroad and spending four years in a foreign city, it would be better to travel around the world during the winter and summer holidays.

In the early years, it was Huaxia who saw the world. In the future, it would be Huaxia the world looks to.

Therefore, the previous generation of rich people preferred to send their children abroad. In the past two years, there have been major changes —

For example, the number of people going abroad have declined. The proportion of middle-class and working-class children going abroad have increased, and the number of rich people have decreased.

Another example was that the proportion of those who had completed their studies and returned home had increased year by year.

In addition, most companies no longer blindly believe in the quality of overseas returnees. Overseas graduates from non-famous universities aren’t even as competitive as 211. The local top universities don’t lose out to Harvard at all.

So in terms of necessity, if it were not for the worry that their children would receive too much unwarranted attention in China, the rich would no longer have the motivation to send their children abroad.

Times have changed.

I study in the capital. My life Is safe. I can eat and live comfortably. I can return to visit my parents on the weekends in just four hours. So, why would I want to go abroad?”

Everyone was stunned when they heard that.

However, there were still many people who did not approve of it. Their eyes were filled with disapproval, with a yearning for a foreign country.

He Meng laughed it off.

Wang Yan, on the other hand, had an extremely complicated expression.

Was what He Meng had said right?

Standing at her level, it could not be more right. It was even right to the point of being profound enough.

In the first place, the children of the rich went abroad not to learn knowledge, not to broaden their horizons, and not to mention any worries with securing jobs.

To themselves, the biggest motivation to go abroad was to break away from the discipline and constraints of their families.

For middle-class children to go abroad, self-improvement was the main reason, because it was linked to whether they would be able to make a living in the future.

The two goals would hence naturally bring about different views.

Wang Yan also only realized the difference after He Meng had finished speaking. He was deeply touched.

He Meng’s thinking was mature and well thought-out, her self-awareness was extremely clear. To praise her for having a broad vision and amazing wisdom would not be an exaggeration at all.

Why didn’t he notice it before?

Well, actually, Wang Yan knew the reason.

Loser Wang from the past wasn’t on the same level as her at all, let alone having the opportunity to communicate with her. Even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to understand the abstract things she was talking about!

No wonder everyone agreed that they were well-matched!

On a different level, true love could indeed exist. However, when communicating, it was like a chicken talking to a duck. Their outlooks on their lives and the world were too different. Who could last long when life was already so tiring?

When higher up on the social ladder, men could still accommodate their partners as much as they wanted to. But if they were lower, they could basically forget about getting matched with someone with a better social standing.

As expected, they still had to work hard to improve themselves…

Wang Yan sighed, feeling very surprised — it was really amazing to get such a deep understanding from He Meng.

When I look at women, I usually only look at three points…

When he thought of those points, the young master’s heart suddenly moved. However, after hesitating for a moment, he eventually suppressed the idea of checking those points and did not make any move.

Whether you’re smart or pretty is none of my business. A good horse won’t turn back, hmph!

Just as the young master banished his demonic thoughts, He Meng suddenly took the initiative to draw him in for a casual chat.

“Wang Yan, how did you come up with the idea of doing a live broadcast guild?”

Wang Yan was stunned. He was a little surprised and a little delighted, but he did not know how to answer.

Even though you’re sincerely asking for advice, I still can’t tell you the truth…

Because I didn’t do any preliminary investigations at all, and was forced to open for business. Do you understand?

His heart was beating fast, but on the surface, he was as calm as an old dog. He replied profoundly, “It was there. I didn’t take the initiative to think about it, but I happened to see it naturally.”

Wang Yan was actually so sharp?

From his previous case of selling watermelon and coconut shoes, he was simply a natural business genius!

He Meng was in awe.

She was an unconventional girl who paid a lot of attention to business information. Her level was higher than the average business graduate, so her inference ability was even stronger.

She asked with interest, “Then how did you determine that entry point?”

Entry point?

Are you asking about the eatcast or are you asking about sweeping away the Beauty Ko models?

Young Master Wang did not even understand the question. He opened his mouth and vaguely said, “By coincidence, by surprise.”

He Meng was instantly crippled.

“You’re very good. It looks like you really understood Sun Tzu’s Art of War. Your early path was indeed strange and accurate… I have to pay attention to your company and learn from you.”

Don’t!

What good can you learn from me?

Wang Yan was a little flustered, although he could not help but feel inflated.

He Meng was a girl who had been difficult to deal with in high school.

She would respond to questions without any emotions, but she would often only say one or two sentences, clearly showing her attitude of keeping people at a distance, making people afraid of crossing the line.

On the surface, Yu Qiuli treated everyone equally, but He Meng never did.

Only those who came from a good family or had good grades would she chat a little more with.

It wasn’t that she was a b**ch, but she was the kind of person who couldn’t be bothered to act humble, was really arrogant and thought super highly of herself.

It seemed that no boy in the class had ever experienced how Wang Yan was being treated now. Listen, she said “Learn from you”!

What about the second battalion commander? Take my…

Uh, forget it.

He Meng was a girl who couldn’t be won over without one putting in his utmost effort. Moreover, he might not be happy even after successfully winning her over.

How good would it be if this time and energy was focused on himself instead?

If he could reach the level of Ma Mama fast enough, he’d break 10,000 credit cards for her to see!

Although he couldn’t seduce her, he could still be sworn brothers with her father!

“Old He, our niece has been a little naughty recently…”

“Brother, if you need to educate her, then educate her. Don’t hold back!”

“Old He, isn’t it about time our niece finds a suitable partner? If you have a matchmaking candidate, don’t hide it. As her senior, if I have time, I can help take a look.”

“Oh, that’s good. Your sister-in-law has just introduced someone. How about you help keep an eye on things during the matchmaking?”

“Yes, come to my manor. I want to see how good the young man is!”

Wang Yan felt that he might be pushing things a tad too far, but he really couldn’t help it. Just thinking about it felt so good!

His inner thoughts were all twisted, but he still had to be modest on the surface. “Don’t. What’s there to learn about my small business? I don’t even know when I’ll have big brother’s… Er, half of your father’s wealth.”

He Meng didn’t realize Wang Yan’s slip of the tongue and smiled like a lady.

“You can be humble, but I can’t be arrogant. It’s precisely because I have a family background that I understand how hard it is for you to succeed. Come, here’s to better business, and let’s keep in touch in the future.”

He Meng took the initiative to toast Wang Yan, shocking Gu Jiushu and Yu Qiuli who were beside her.

She was not a silly and sweet little girl who was ignorant of worldly affairs and would be fooled by just a few words from someone.

The goddess who was publicly acknowledged as the most difficult to woo in the experimental rich heir circle, the aloof genius who did not need to give face to anyone, actually smiled at Wang Yan?

Dog, you’re a little evil piece of s**t…

However, Brother Dog did not have any romantic thoughts. It was obviously a normal social interaction and there was nothing to connect the dots to.

On the contrary, the young master was secretly cursing in his heart.

‘If it’s useful, you’ll welcome it with a smile. If it’s useless, you’ll reject it. You’re so young, do you have to be so pragmatic?’

Therefore, he only smiled faintly and nodded perfunctorily. “Okay, keep in touch.”

However, He Meng was more sensitive than he had expected. She could sense something from the conversation prior. She was a little puzzled and asked thoughtfully, “Wang Yan, you seem to have a problem with me?”

(⊙ˍ⊙)!

Wang Yan was really shocked.

What skill did you max out?

“No, why would I?”

The young master’s smile was impeccable. After all, he was a man with [Elegance] and [Word Control] . After combining these skills, his expression control could be said to be on the master-level.

However, He Meng obviously did not believe him. She looked deeply at Wang Yan and did not pursue the matter.

At the same time, they were happy to stop.

Wang Yan’s heart was in turmoil, and he continued to drink with everyone as usual.

The atmosphere of the party became more and more lively. The small interlude was quickly drowned out, but the two of them didn’t speak again.

In fact, Wang Yan’s thoughts had been a bit unreasonable. All adults in the world were similarly pragmatic. What was wrong with that?

Wang Yan had double standards when it came to He Meng.

Where did the problem come from?

The young master used the time when he was drinking to use his psychological knowledge to analyze himself bit by bit and finally figured it out.

The reason why he resisted and was wary of He Meng was because she represented the miserable life of Loser Wang.

She wasn’t wrong, but she was the symbol of that life!

The moment he got the system, it was the dividing line between two completely different lives.

The first was dark and the second was bright and dazzling.

One day, he had just embarrassed himself in front of He Meng, and the next, he was determined to become a man that outshone all the others.

Was He Meng’s position awkward?

Wang Yan realized that in his subconscious mind, he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and He Meng.

It was a very strange and subtle feeling. The moment he saw her, he would think of all his previous stupidity — it was like looking back at the diary one wrote when he still had the eighth-grader syndrome. It made him feel numb all over, and he wanted nothing more than to immediately destroy the evidence.

But she was also a very special existence.

It was normal for a man him to keep thinking about his first love for more than ten years, especially the ones that did not come to fruition.

He was really as silly as could be. He broke off as he wished, and hadn’t thought about her for half a year, but he still had to admit that she was special.

So, this matter might not be over yet.

Wang Yan quickly figured everything out. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind —

I don’t believe it. I, Wang Fugui, just don’t want to be entangled with you anymore. What can you do about it?!

We are just ordinary classmates!

Let’s wait until the day your father can’t match up to me, then we can talk about other things!

With a carefree smile, he continued to have fun.

Half-drunk, everyone ended dinner with their claws all bared. The next round was the presidential suite, with half-free activities.

Some of the boys wanted to play poker, some went to play mahjong, and the girls could swim, massage, sleep, or join in the fun. All of these were paid for by Mr. Gu.

The round after was karaoke. At the end, it was disco dancing. The group of creatures pestered Wang Yan to get him to treat them.

Well, it wasn’t a private event anyway. A hundred thousand yuan was enough. Poor Wang could afford it.

After making the arrangements, he was about to go upstairs when, as expected, He Meng said goodbye to everyone.

It was impossible for her to attend the event in the afternoon. It was possible for her to sing at night, but it was impossible for her to do disco dancing afterwards.

Everyone did not force her. They just kept urging her, “You must come to sing at night!”

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. You guys have fun.”

She smiled in a reserved manner, causing people to be unable to figure out what was going on and not expect anything.

Only Wang Yan felt that it would be better if she did not come.

Even though he disliked her, he still had to be polite. Wang Yan, Gu Jiushu, and the others sent her downstairs.

The elevator had just reached the ground floor when a car stopped at the exit.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Edition, which cost more than ten million.

Young Master Wang casually glanced at it without any surprise. It was just an ordinary tool of a car.

He waved at her like a puppet. “Bye bye, have a safe journey.”

He Meng got into the car, lowered the window, and smiled at everyone.

Suddenly, Wang Yan felt a strong sense of familiarity — the scene in front of him was so familiar!

Before he could figure it out, the Phantom slowly started moving away.

Phantom?!

A flash of inspiration struck Wang Yan’s heart like lightning. The young master immediately looked at the license plate at the back of the car…

Just as he thought!

It was the elongated Phantom that had helped him at the entrance of Xiangshanyuan Villas!

So it was her?!

Damn, how could it be her!
