After chatting a bit with Li Zhun, Gu Bai said, "The specifics can’t be settled in just a few words. Why don’t you talk to Old Zhao over the next couple of days and hear his thoughts? If he has no objections, let’s have the planning departnt create a detailed plan."
Li Zhun nodded.
"Alright, I’ll talk to Old Zhao in a bit."
"Once the project starts, I’ll have Mr. Shao liaise with you all. Since it’s our own company, we can negotiate easily."
After settling matters with Li Zhun, Gu Bai also made a brief appearance at the company to let the employees get familiar with their boss, then drove away in his 918.
It was noon, lunch ti.
Gu Bai’s Porsche 918 drove in from the school gate, and although the students at Shanghai Theatre Academy had seen it plenty of tis, they couldn’t help but envy it every ti, given that it’s a nearly 20 million hypercar.
Just as he parked the car, a clear voice rang out beside him.
"Oni-Chan, are you really planning to ignore forever?"
The speaker was Yi Yiyi. Today, however, she was not wearing her Lolita dress but instead wore a simple casual sports outfit, the only constant being her pure white twin ponytails and the ssage board on her chest.
Upon hearing Yi Yiyi’s words, Gu Bai chuckled.
"What happened? Wasn’t it you who ignored ? How did it beco ignoring you?"
Ever since they encountered Zhang Yung at the mall together, Yi Yiyi had been deliberately distancing herself from him. Gu Bai wasn’t the type to fawn over soone indifferent, especially with Qi Man’s initiative, making him even less inclined to pay her attention, as if he had never known this girl.
He preferred girls who took the initiative, and in that regard, he had never changed at all; it’s a whole different thing chasing a girl compared to being chased.
How does that song go again?
The one you can’t get is always stirring.
The favored one can be fearless.
By comparison, Gu Bai still preferred to be the fearless one.
"Well, that was military training ti back then, wasn’t it? There was no ti to pay attention to you!"
Now with nothing better to do, Gu Bai didn’t mind bickering a few words with her.
"So, do you have ti now?"
"Of course!"
"Sorry then, I’ve been really busy lately."
Gu Bai said, heading towards the cafeteria; having rushed back, he hadn’t eaten yet, and his campus card still had hundreds left, so it’d be a waste not to use it.
Seeing Gu Bai about to leave after barely exchanging a few words, Yi Yiyi beca anxious.
She hurriedly caught up to walk alongside Gu Bai.
"Oni-Chan! You bought so many stockings last ti; don’t you want to see them?"
???
Now, if you talk about that, I’m interested!
Gu Bai turned his head, looking at Yi Yiyi, and said, "What, are you going to host a private fashion show for ?"
"That depends on whether you’re willing to pay attention to ."
Seeing she had hit Gu Bai’s weak spot, Yi Yiyi quickly acted aloof.
Mr. Lu Xun once said, "Integrity is worthy, love is worth more, if for stockings, both can be discarded." Gu Bai indeed inherited Zhou’s literary legacy deeply.
"Naturally not! I think we can find a ti to chat about so life philosophies deriving from stockings!"
Seeing Gu Bai’s unserious manner, Yi Yiyi also laughed, revealing two adorable little tiger teeth.
To be honest, the reason Gu Bai hadn’t proactively sought out Yi Yiyi after that was not rely because he disliked taking the initiative. With Yi Yiyi’s 94-point appearance, she was worth him being proactive at least once.
The main thing was, he had been too busy during that period.
Not only needing to comfort Zhang Yung physically and ntally.
But also cultivating feelings with Qi Man; ti was sowhat unmanageable.
Now that Yi Yiyi wanted to climb onto his pirate bed voluntarily, why would he hold back?
"Gu Bai, Yi Yiyi, what are you two up to?"
Upon hearing this voice, Gu Bai silently sighed.
Shanghai Theatre Academy turned out to be too small; just when he planned to discuss life philosophy with this white-haired Lolita, Qi Man appeared.
"Sister Man!"
It seed Qi Man hid herself well; Yi Yiyi didn’t know about Gu Bai’s current relationship with her.
Qi Man’s big waves were always her most eye-catching feature.
With a gentle smile, Qi Man walked up to them both.
"Are you heading to the cafeteria?"
"I’ve already eaten. I just saw Oni-Chan parking and ca over to say hello."
In this Shanghai Theatre Academy headquarters, Gu Bai still had to maintain his image; his reputation couldn’t rot at its root, so he casually said a few words and headed directly to the cafeteria.
Food is more appealing than girls.
He hadn’t walked far when he saw Qi Man catching up from behind while Yi Yiyi hadn’t followed.
"What’s up? Am I interrupting you?"
Qi Man joked.
"You know it yet you ask?"
He hadn’t even decided on the ti for the stockings show with Yi Yiyi before being interrupted.
Upon hearing Gu Bai’s response, Qi Man couldn’t help but give Gu Bai a gentle shove on the shoulder.
"Hey! Do you have so kind of special fetish? You have , and you’re still interested in Yi Yi? Why don’t I hint to Hong Linli and Dong Ping as well, and just transform our entire dorm into your harem?"
Listening to Qi Man’s remark full of jealousy.
Gu Bai laughed, "Forget about Hong Linli and Dong Ping, but I do think you could hint to Yi Yi."
"Wow! Do you have to be so blatantly shaless?"
"Isn’t this what you said?"
Gu Bai could see that Qi Man was just a little jealous, as is typical for won. Given her intelligence, she wouldn’t do anything irrational. At least for now, Gu Bai was still her best option.
Though it’s likely she wouldn’t find anyone better than Gu Bai in her lifeti.
The two bantered and head to the cafeteria.
Naturally, Gu Bai enjoyed the service of the goddess from Shanghai Theatre Academy serving him food, making plenty of singles around envious.
"Can you take the afternoon off?"
Gu Bai asked Qi Man, mumbling indistinctly while eating his delicious twice-cooked pork with rice.
As a al he never got tired of during the four years of his previous life, even with his millionaire status now, he couldn’t forget it. It’s almost a must-order at the cafeteria. Taste-wise, it can’t compare to the delicacies made from top ingredients in star-rated restaurants outside, but it’s all about the sentint.
"Is there sothing wrong?"
Qi Man asked.
"Planning to buy a house in Shanghai."
Upon hearing this, Qi Man promptly replied, "I can take ti off!"
This is Shanghai, one of the cities with the highest real estate prices in Hua Country, and with Gu Bai’s status, can he buy an ordinary house? Of course, she was delighted to go with Gu Bai to see what’s what.
As for Gu Bai’s thought, it was quite simple.
No matter how he develops in the future, he definitely needs a base. As a city where he spent five years in his past life, calling it a second hotown isn’t an exaggeration. He certainly should have a property of his own here.
Given the skyrocketing real estate market in Shanghai in recent years, buying a house surely won’t be a loss.
Let’s not talk about the distant future, but the imdiate.
He currently has two won he’s officially involved with.
Qi Man, Zhang Yung.
And probably will add Yi Yi as well.
Every ti they explore the philosophical topic of human origins, they can’t always be in a hotel, right?
One set might not be enough; he should probably buy two more.
Anyway, the 1 billion from Level 1 System has been fully disbursed.
Buying Night Shadow, along with a Porsche 918 and a watch has cost a total of 52 million; adding the recent spending, plus the money spent on the two won, it’s close to 15 million.
million investnt in Xingnai dia.
million investnt in Black Swan Capital.
There’s still more than 300 million in liquid assets available for use; if he doesn’t spend it, what’s he keeping it for, to grow babies?
Since Qi Man agreed, Gu Bai didn’t say much more. He planned to go to the institute leaders to handle sothing.
A little over a month since rebirth, he was already the CEO of two companies worth billions, and with the system upgrade, the assets under his na are bound to increase.
It’s destined that he won’t be able to leisurely be like an ordinary student; continually taking leave isn’t ideal, so it’s better to resolve it all at once.
As for dropping out, that’s definitely not happening.
Although dropping out now wouldn’t affect him much, and he can explain things to his parents, since he’s determined to dabble in the entertainnt industry, the na from Shanghai Theatre Academy is very useful.
Don’t underestimate Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy as rely the three major film industry schools in na.
The influence these three academies hold in the film industry is unimaginably imnse to most people.
Not to ntion, students graduating from these schools in various batches taking up half the industry themselves; at a higher level, these three academies hold trendous influence.
Many leaders in charge of this sector are alumni of these schools.
In summary, the na from Shanghai Theatre Academy may seem worthless at tis, but when you’re truly into a level, it’s priceless.
Divisions and factions, these are ingrained habits from years of human living as a social creature, deep within the genes.
After lunch, Qi Man also went to find her advisor to ask for leave.
Gu Bai followed his mory to reach the institute leader’s office.
Walking to the office door of the departnt head, Gu Bai gently knocked on the door.
"Please co in."
A gentle voice echoed from inside.
Gu Bai pushed the door open and entered, a man in his fifties sat at the desk, seemingly reviewing so docunts.
The man is Lu Ang, the head of the directing departnt at Shanghai Theatre Academy.
Lu Ang put down his pen, casually grabbed his tea cup from the side, and asked Gu Bai in front of him, "Student, what can I do for you?"
"Hello Director, I am Gu Bai, a student from the 16th class of the directing departnt."
Lu Ang carefully looked at him, laughed, "I know you, you are a student I personally interviewed. Don’t just stand there, sit down and tell what you need."
Hearing Lu Ang’s words, Gu Bai also laughed and respectfully sat on the chair in front of him.
No matter how rich he is, he understands respect for teachers and elders. Besides, this man is more than just a regular teacher; he’s also the vice-chairman of the Shanghai Drama Association, a "New Century Outstanding Director" in Hua Country, and a notable figure in the film industry.
At this mont, the benefits brought to him by the temperant of "Non-action" were evident.
Lu Ang’s favorability towards him had directly reached 55, completely surpassing the average level of 40.
