Su Yehao's good mood was built on the foundation of being able to afford to lose.

If Su Yehao only had this fifty million, it would probably be a different choice altogether. Wouldn't it be wonderful to run away immediately with the more than thirty million he earned?

With a pillar of support at home, especially his old man who went to Pengcheng to acquire land, Su Yehao felt extremely secure. Moreover, he held Yahoo stock worth over 190 million Hong Kong dollars, with significant appreciation potential.

Entrusting this eighty million to Zheng Yongwen to continue betting wasn't a big deal.

In Su Yehao's eyes, shorting the market now had about an eighty percent chance of winning, which was enough to make him persist.

If he won, it could be used for subsequent investments. If he lost, the worst outcome would only be a delay in the progress of his startup. Considering the mainland market with only six hundred thousand internet users and virtually no competitors, Su Yehao felt very at ease.

With the development of tAt, several similar startup teams had emerged on the HKU campus, probably thinking that if Su Yehao could do it, so could they.

Not knowing where this confidence came from, but adhering to the principle of nipping crises in the bud, Su Yehao continued to advance steadily, urging Project Director John Zhou to recruit more people and strive to provide users with a more comfortable experience.

There would inevitably be competitors, but in Su Yehao's eyes, as long as he ran fast enough, others wouldn't catch up.

The simplified Chinese version of the tAt chat room was already under development, and the project establishment work for the search engine and portal website was officially put on the agenda.

After messing around for a few months, there were finally some gains…

As a rich man and a desirable catch in the eyes of others, Su Yehao always encountered some unexpected events in his daily life.

Some entrepreneurs would happen to "coincidentally" meet him, and would take the opportunity to present him with meticulously prepared business plans.

Some girls would happen to have exquisite makeup on, and would suddenly drop something in front of him while walking, or even sprain their ankles.

Pick-up lines like "I think I know you" were used on Su Yehao, except the roles were reversed, and he became the one being targeted.

Imperceptibly, it seemed as if there was a magical power, with many people and things revolving around him.

Even in the HKU teachers' parking lot, two private parking spaces were reserved for Su Yehao, allowing him to drive into the campus unimpeded.

Every day indeed consisted of three meals and twenty-four hours, the difference lay in the quality.

Compared to his Rolls-Royce Silver Spur armored car, the old beat-up cars were four or five times older. They all burned gasoline, they all had four wheels, and they could all run on the road, but no one thought the two were the same.

The significance of people's active progress and striving to climb upward lies in this.

It wasn't just about living, but about living more comfortably.

On the night he met with Vice President Zheng Yongwen, Su Yehao took Nangong Tian out to a pub to listen to a band.

Jiang Yu, as the third wheel, stayed at home today, unwilling to go out, worrying about being photographed by paparazzi again. Therefore, she chose to avoid the limelight and decided to take a taxi or walk to school in the near future, even if they met at school, she would maintain a safe distance of more than ten meters.

Both Su Yehao and Nangong Tian thought Jiang Yu was making a fuss.

However, Nangong Tian was still quite happy to be going out alone with Hao Ge again, considering it a blessing in disguise.

In the pub, an underground band was singing their own songs, dreaming of becoming as popular as Beyond in the eighties.

To Su Yehao's ears, it was just okay.

Hong Kong's cultural influence had begun to decline. The most famous actresses were gradually aging, some choosing to retire, and some choosing to marry.

Life in the film industry wasn't easy, there were too many scripts, but fewer and fewer people were willing to invest.

As Su Yehao gained some fame, some people thought the young lad was easy to deal with and turned their attention to him.

Dou Jiafeng, the boss of San Fa Tai Film Company, was one of them.

Dou Jiafeng was thirty-four years old this year. In his early years, he sold his property to invest in a film, making a small profit of more than two million, and continued to invest… then lost so much that he was almost bankrupt.

Hoping to fight a beautiful turnaround, he had been carrying a few scripts around this year, looking for investment everywhere. Apart from some cobbled-together scripts and pitiful connections that were basically useless, Dou Jiafeng had nothing.

Fortunately, he was a natural optimist. Even though life was tight, he was still cheerful every day, thinking he was no ordinary person.

Whenever he started a conversation, he would inevitably mention how glorious he was back then, and how good his relationship was with so-and-so celebrities.

When Dou Jiafeng accidentally discovered a potential stock like Su Yehao – rich, womanizing, and young – he immediately thought it was worth taking a chance, hoping to swindle some money to spend.

Young people, what they liked was nothing more than a few things – finding a beautiful little star to be the lead actress, and then taking them to parties to mingle, and if that didn't work, they could even play some cameo roles and have a taste of being an actor. Once that was done, the investment would basically be secure.

Dou Jiafeng had done this kind of thing before, and someone had casually sprinkled some money, which allowed him to live comfortably for two or three years.

As for the movies he invested millions in, no cinema was willing to show them after watching them, and they were still gathering dust in the warehouse.

After Su Yehao was targeted by him, Dou Jiafeng specially found someone to follow him all the way.

He went back to the company and picked out a few good scripts. At this moment, he came to the pub, chiming in and saying, "Young Master Su, long time no see! What a coincidence, to run into you here!"

Su Yehao glanced at him and calmly asked, "Do I know you?"

"Haha, Young Master Su, you're too important to remember such small things. It's me, Dou Jiafeng. I drank with you in a bar before, maybe you drank too much that day and forgot."

Ordinary people like to pretend they remember when they encounter this kind of thing.

Su Yehao didn't play by the rules, saying, "I'll give you ten seconds to tell me where we met, or I'll have my bodyguard throw you out."

"…"

Dou Jiafeng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I drank too much that night too. Was it Hollywood Road in Central, or Lan Kwai Fong? I was busy going from place to place, so I can't quite remember. I'm a film company boss, and you even said you wanted to meet some celebrities."

Nangong Tian, who was originally indifferent, looked over at the first instance upon hearing this.

Su Yehao found it interesting, and also wanted to clear his name, smiling and saying, "Even if I know you're talking nonsense, it's still a bit interesting. Don't try to get close to me, I definitely don't know you. If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't disturb me from listening to music and relaxing."

Instantly feeling that it was a bit tricky, Dou Jiafeng shamelessly stopped pretending, and said:

"I have a few good scripts here. Andy Lau wants to act in them after seeing them, but unfortunately, there's still a bit of funding missing. Young Master Su's girlfriend is so beautiful, would you be interested in being the lead actress? With this lady's looks, there's hope of becoming a new generation of headliners, and you'll definitely become famous!"

Nangong Tian also realized that something was wrong, and lazily replied, "I don't want to. It's like being a puppet, being ordered to make this expression, make that action, it's so tiring."

"…"

All of Dou Jiafeng's prepared lines were blocked by the little girl's words.

He was quite surprised, there were actually girls who didn't want to be celebrities?

For a moment, Dou Jiafeng was at a loss for what to do. He directly took out those few scripts, and then asked, "Or, Young Master Su, would you like to take a look first? No matter which celebrity you want to invite to act, I have a way to get them."

The little girl understood the implication and looked at Su Yehao, asking:

"Hao Ge, does he want to act as a go-between for you, so you can meet some beautiful women? This guy is no good, he's very annoying…"
