In San Francisco, I arrived a month early.
Outside the school, Gao Yang, ten years younger than me, was arguing with someone. Standing beside her was a tall, thin girl with short hair and glasses—Luo Yushan.
"How dare you take my research results out for business negotiations without my consent?" Luo Yushan exclaimed.
Gao Yang looked innocent. "I was thinking about our future too."
"Yushan, can't you understand my perspective?"
"No," Luo Yushan replied, her face pale with anger. "The patents and technology are in my hands. I won't agree to you selling my work!" With that, she turned and walked away.
I stood behind Gao Yang, taking in the look in her eyes. She gazed at Luo Yushan's retreating figure, her expression filled with malice.
This trip to San Francisco was partly to see Luo Yushan early and partly for Gao Yang. In my past life, Gao Yang had been one of my bodyguards. However, before becoming my protector, she had been a professional assassin. Only she knew how to kill someone in the simplest way possible. Gao Yang was my last trump card.
In a café, Luo Yushan wore a cold expression. "I'm sorry, but I have no intention of selling my research results."
"And I don't need the money."
"I'm more concerned about the research itself than about money."
I smiled slightly. "Of course, I know that Miss Luo is a great scientist."
"I imagine your journey in research has been quite challenging as well."
"What if I said I was willing to provide funding, manpower, materials—everything you need?"
Luo Yushan paused in surprise. "What?"
"I can offer you everything you want, and all you have to do is help me once you achieve your results."
"Of course, I won't force you to do anything illegal."
"I just want you to give me a push when it matters."
Luo Yushan hesitated.
I knew she needed money.
Her research achievements had not been recognized, and she required funding to prove herself.
And I simply wanted some assistance after her success; that shouldn't be too difficult.
Sure enough, Luo Yushan agreed.
On the day I returned to my country, the first snow was falling.
As soon as I got off the plane, I saw Huo Yan's billboard.
She had already debuted in the entertainment industry.
In my previous life, Huo Yan had become famous a year earlier with a campus drama.
But this time, because of me, she was delayed by a year.
Nevertheless, she ultimately walked this path.
And I had also established my own company.
Niu Family Group; Niu Xinyan was gradually taking over.
He had been studying this since he was young, while I was just a novice.
Therefore, I had to work harder to catch up with him.
On the day of the Bidding Conference, I saw Niu Xinyan at the venue.
He looked younger and more handsome than what I had seen on television in my previous life.
Of course, he was also more ruthless.
When Niu Xinyan saw me, he seemed surprised: "Xiao Min, what are you doing here?"
I smiled: "Can't I come?"
Niu Xinyan frowned: "Aren't you supposed to be in school?"
"Why did you suddenly come to the Bidding Conference?"
"Did your dad send you here?"
I shook my head. "No, I came on my own."
Niu Xinyan relaxed a bit. "Then just follow me; it's a good opportunity for you to learn."
"After the Bidding Conference, I'll take you out for some good food."
I nodded and fell silent.
What Niu Xinyan didn't know was that I had prepared a proposal just like him.
Beside me sat Luo Yushan.
We had optimized our plan to perfection.
We were sure to win the bid.
