Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 1037 - 1023: Business Negotiations in Suits and Ties! (Part 2)
And so, the two girls sat and waited for the boys to deliver dinner...
Originally, they thought they would have to wait a long time...
Because they needed to return the car first, then take the subway back to school, and then go to the cafeteria to buy dinner, all of which would take a lot of time.
In the end, it wasn’t even half an hour before Yan Siyuan arrived at the dorm, carrying four fast food boxes and several side dishes.
"Oh! You’re back!"
Seeing Yan Siyuan, Ye Qingcao suddenly sat up from the bed, her big bright eyes fixed on him, "How are you so fast! I thought it would take at least an hour!"
Pu Sangzhi, who was listening to music with headphones, took them off and turned to look at Yan Siyuan...
She noticed that Huo Feng hadn’t returned yet.
Yan Siyuan walked into the dorm with an armful of stuff, explaining to the two of them, "I split up with Huo Feng. I came back first, let Huo Feng return the car, he’ll take a taxi back later."
"Ah~"
Ye Qingcao said as she got out of bed, "Why did you let Brother Feng be late? Isn’t he the guest..."
"He had to drive as he’s the one with the license, unlike me." Yan Siyuan replied.
After saying that, Yan Siyuan turned his sharp eyes to Ye Qingcao, "So, you secretly hope I’d come back later?"
"Hehehe..."
Ye Qingcao grinned, took a quick step forward and hugged Yan Siyuan’s waist, looking up at him with a mischievous smile, "Definitely not thinking that way! Definitely not! Don’t overthink it!"
"The more you cover, the more you expose, let go!"
Yan Siyuan frowned and looked down at her, trying to loosen her grip with his big hands.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want her to hug him; it was just awkward with Pu Sangzhi watching them.
After all, with Huo Feng not around, hugging and cuddling in front of Pu Sangzhi seemed too much like flaunting couplehood.
"I’m not letting go! I said I won’t, so no means no!"
Ye Qingcao clung onto him stubbornly, lifting her small head high, "I missed you so much! Just browsed through all your photos!"
"Cough..."
Yan Siyuan had to subtly cough to remind her to be more aware of the situation.
However, her playful antics brightened his mood considerably, making him grin uncontrollably...
"Hehe~"
Ye Qingcao, having had enough hug time, let go and jumped onto the opposite table, unpacking the delivery bags he brought, "Let’s see, what goodies did you buy!"
Yan Siyuan turned to talk to Pu Sangzhi, "Come down and eat first. I bought fast food, one portion each, and saved one for Huo Feng."
"Why don’t we wait for Brother Feng!"
Ye Qingcao turned to them saying, "How could we let Brother Feng eat late alone! That’s not good~"
"It’s okay, you guys eat first."
Yan Siyuan added, "Huo Feng said not to let the girls go hungry, so he asked me to come back first. Otherwise, there’s no point in me coming back early."
Ye Qingcao widened her eyes in surprise, "Is Brother Feng really that gentlemanly!"
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "That’s how Huo Feng is, let’s eat first and digest sooner."
And so, the three of them decided not to wait for Huo Feng, sat down at the table beneath Ye Qingcao’s bed, and started on their three portions of fast food with several single stir-fry dishes.
Huo Feng came around half an hour later...
He arrived to find that the three had finished eating and left a portion of fast food and a lot of stir-fry for him...
Huo Feng immediately sat down and wolfed down the food hungrily.
Pu Sangzhi sat beside Huo Feng and kept reminding him, "Eat slower, don’t choke."
Huo Feng, eating, replied anxiously, "I’m starving..."
Pu Sangzhi patted Huo Feng’s back lightly, watching him with a bit of concern...
"Everyone’s really tired today. Tonight, let’s all go to bed early. Tomorrow, Huo Feng and I have to go handle some business, the girls don’t need to come along."
Yan Siyuan looked at Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao, like he was addressing them specifically, "Tomorrow’s temperature will be higher than today’s, it will be sweltering outside. You two should stay in the dorm during the day, go out later when it’s cooler, do whatever you like, but no need to join Huo Feng and me, as there’s nothing requiring you tomorrow."
"Are you sure you can’t take us along tomorrow then?"
Ye Qingcao seemed to be questioning Yan Siyuan, but her gaze was fixed on Pu Sangzhi, as if waiting for her to speak instead.
Pu Sangzhi actually understood the two guys’ intentions, so she nodded, expressing, "Okay."
Once Pu Sangzhi agreed, Ye Qingcao finally conceded, "Alright then!"
"Huo Feng..."
Yan Siyuan called out to Huo Feng again, "Finish eating and we’ll go back to discuss tomorrow’s plan."
Huo Feng nodded while shoveling food into his mouth...
A few seconds later, Huo Feng suddenly paused, turning to look at Pu Sangzhi with cheeks stuffed full, struggling to speak...
Yet, Pu Sangzhi understood what he meant.
She gently rubbed Huo Feng’s head, soothing him like a little cat, "It’s okay, you can rest early and we can have a date tomorrow."
Apparently, Huo Feng thought he had too little alone time with Pu Sangzhi today.
He hadn’t properly held her hand, hugged her, or kissed her today...
"Hmm..."
After Pu Sangzhi comforted him, Huo Feng nodded and continued eating.
Pu Sangzhi continued nagging at his ear like a mother, "Finish the veggies, don’t waste them. But eat slower, don’t eat too fast..."
Ye Qingcao and Yan Siyuan sat opposite them, quietly watching Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng...
At this moment, the harmonious scene of the four together was peaceful and beautiful.
...
Around 8 p.m., Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng carried the trash downstairs and left the girls’ dorm.
Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao didn’t walk them out because they were already quite tired from the day.
As they left, the two girls were already on their beds, asking them to turn off the lights.
Even though it was only 8 p.m., they were ready to lull themselves into sleep.
Meanwhile, back in the boys’ dorm, Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng each took turns washing their hair, showering, brushing their teeth, and washing their faces...
After freshening up, it was around 9 p.m.
Though they were tired too, they spent over an hour creating a plan for tomorrow’s business run.
Their PPT on the game intro was ready, and nearly five copies of the draft were printed.
Regarding revenue share, Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng discussed that since their studio fully handles the game’s development and post-maintenance, they must insist on a 50-50 share with the publisher and accept nothing less. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
For other game aspects, anything they could think of, the two had mentally prepared and planned in advance.
By 10:30 p.m., the discussion was about done.
Huo Feng was the first to lay on the bed, as Yan Siyuan went to turn off the lights, passing by Huo Feng’s bed as he returned. Huo Feng extended his hand...
In the dark, with the phone flashlight illuminating, Yan Siyuan saw Huo Feng’s hand and reached out to give him a high-five.
Just then, Huo Feng suddenly said, "Let’s do this."
Yan Siyuan echoed, "Let’s do this."
They cheered each other on, their ambitious spirit unmistakably strong!
It was the age to fight, and fight they must!
...
The next day at 7:30 a.m.
Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan both got up, brushed their teeth, washed up, applied toner and lotion, and styled their hair.
Today they would go out to promote their game, acting as both sales representatives and studio heads.
Young entrepreneurs often do everything themselves, seizing every opportunity personally.
Honestly, Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan hadn’t really entered society yet.
So today marked the day they would step one foot prematurely into society.
They awoke energetically, full of vigor!
Both dressed in black suits, paired with white shirts underneath...
Truth be told, wearing this even in an air-conditioned room could make one feel overwhelmingly hot!
Especially since it’s summer now, and in Hangzhou’s summer...
Hangzhou’s summer temperature is truly overwhelming!
"Yan Ji, don’t you think it’s too hot dressed like this?"
Huo Feng buttoned his shirt collar up high, because he was a proper salesman in winter, not daring to leave his shirt collar unbuttoned like before...
"Agreed."
Also dressed in a black suit, Yan Siyuan stood before the full-length mirror, furrowing his brows, examining his reflection...
Still handsome without a doubt, yet the attire seemed somewhat out of place in such weather.
As the two pondered over the formal outfit, suddenly, there was a knock on the dorm door.
Then, a girl’s voice was heard...
"Hey~ Have you two cuties woken up yet?"
Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng knew it was their girlfriends.
