"Let's talk about it later. Not everyone is qualified to enjoy this young lady's honey trap," Li Dan said disdainfully. Her capital was substantial and couldn't be wasted in this foreign land.
Although Zhang Tianxing was wealthy, it seemed he had fallen into a trap. Could such a person be entrusted with a lifetime?
The answer was yes. Li Dan didn't know what confidence Zhang Tianxing had to short the Nasdaq index with a hundred million US dollars, but she absolutely wouldn't agree with such an action.
Being at America's best university, a proud son of heaven with bright paths awaiting you, how brainless must one be to short the Nasdaq index?
People couldn't be judged by their appearance, but Zhang Tianxing had now become a joke among Harvard students.
...
"Li Dan, will you accept my request? I've prepared a party for tonight. Tomorrow is the weekend, and we can rest for a day. How about relaxing together tonight?" Denver invited Li Dan.
Denver was a notorious playboy at Harvard, well-known throughout the school.
He was considered charming, wealthy, and held grand parties every weekend to invite men and women to relax.
He had gained a reputation among several nearby colleges, known as the "Neptune of Harvard," with countless friends and a revolving door of girlfriends as fast as he changed socks.
He had desired the stunning Li Dan for a long time but had never succeeded. Recently, he heard that Li Dan was working desperately, assuming she was short on money. It seemed his opportunity had arrived.
"Denver, I'm sorry, I have something to do tonight." Li Dan smiled politely, rejecting Denver's invitation.
Li Dan had no good feelings towards Denver, the playboy. It was rumored that this playboy partied incredibly hard.
"Really? That's a shame. My cousin is visiting tonight. He's developed a strong interest in Chinese lately and wants to find a tutor. The salary is quite generous," Denver said leisurely.
The bait had been cast; now it was time to see if the fish would bite.
Denver now felt that traditional Chinese culture was profound and vast, and he should use an open strategy to defeat his opponent.
His cousin visiting tonight was true, finding a Chinese teacher was true, and wanting to learn Chinese was true. However, his cousin wanted to experience being tutored at home. For their family, money was not an issue; the problem was the endless partying and waking up with a vague sense of emptiness.
Li Dan pondered. Although Denver was a player, he had never broken his word. He usually found a way to deliver what he promised, or he wouldn't have won the hearts of so many ladies.
"Oh, you didn't say so earlier. How about this, I'll go tonight. Introduce me to your cousin then. I've been wanting to take on an extra job recently and am short on cash," Li Dan said frankly.
This Li Dan was not simple. Denver looked at her with new respect, not expecting her to openly admit her desire to earn more money by taking on extra jobs.
"Actually, there's a way to make fast money. As long as you agree, it'll be much quicker than working," Denver said with a sly grin.
"You don't need to say more. I won't do it. I'm a person of principles. If you continue like this, it's best we don't speak," Li Dan shot back with a cold expression. "Denver, you bastard, if you keep talking like this, I'll kick your little brother."
Seeing Li Dan's displeasure, Denver walked away with a mischievous smile, making a gesture indicating "see you tonight."
Li Dan was speechless. Just then, Feng Rongrong walked by, and she quickly ran up and grabbed her.
"Rongrong, let me ask you, Denver is having a party tonight. He said his cousin will be there too, and his cousin wants to find a Chinese tutor. Should I go?"
"Don't go. You know what kind of person Denver is. He just lusts after your body. He's a man who's all talk and no follow-through. It's best not to have any contact with him, or women will always get hurt," Feng Rongrong said seriously.
She was worried that Denver would exploit Li Dan's eagerness to make money and force her to do things she didn't want to.
"But I really need another job," Li Dan said pitifully. Tutoring paid the highest hourly wage, much better than other odd jobs.
"Alright, how about this? If there are any leftover cakes at the cake shop, I'll bring them back, and we can split them. You can't let a little thing like this drown you. You're really trying to find a doctor when you're dying," Feng Rongrong said softly.
They were both unfortunate souls, and the help they could offer was limited. She worked at a cake shop, and sometimes, if the cakes didn't sell, the boss would let her take some home.
"Rongbao, you're so good to me. If only you were a man, I'd pledge myself to you," Li Dan said, hugging Feng Rongrong and confessing her feelings.
Feng Rongrong got goosebumps. "Stop, stop. I'm a respectable young lady."
...
That evening, at Denver's house, it was a scene of revelry, with men and women dancing together, the air thick with the scent of hormones.
Denver sighed and cursed, "Damn it, that bitch Li Dan stood me up. How dare she not come tonight."
A Chinese man beside him raised his glass and smiled, "Cheers. Don't think about these annoying things. Are the girls who came not to your liking?"
"What you can't get is always the best. What you can't eat is the most delicious," Denver said wistfully. "By the way, Wang Yiding, didn't you say you'd bring two girls?"
"Alas, don't mention it. I didn't expect her to be a research scientist. After I satisfied her yesterday, she zipped up her pants and went straight to her experiments. Before she left, she told me not to look for her for six months, as she'd had her fill," Wang Yiding said dejectedly.
Denver burst into laughter. "That's the charm of research. I believe that girl will achieve great things. It's fine, there are plenty of foreign girls here. As long as you can satisfy them, you can take as many as you want."
The world abroad was too crazy, and the students abroad were too wild. He initially thought everyone had become foolish from studying, but he didn't expect such a joyful dance to be hidden behind the intense studying.
Wang Yiding's eyes burned with desire. This time, it was his turn to uphold China's honor. He, Wang Yiding, was not an unknown figure.
He wanted to be a man of multiple talents, excelling in academics and navigating the social scene. He couldn't let Denver, the Neptune, have all the glory; he, Wang Yiding, also had aspirations.
Harvard University in America would be the starting point of his dreams.
He had already planned his path. After Xu Dachuan retired, he would take over as president of the International Student Mutual Aid Association, and then use his resources to secure benefits for his subordinates.
These were all proud sons of heaven. Although they weren't doing very well now, they would be resources in the future. Wang Yiding smiled.
