In the blink of an eye, the school holidays were coming. In addition to dealing with the exams, Li Mu also took the time to visit Wang Yanan's mother. However, he didn't meet Zhao Ziqiu in the hospital.
Li Mu and Su Yingxue didn't have a chance to develop further. Su Yingxue's aunt, Su Yuehua, seemed to be very nervous about the holidays, so she asked Su Yingxue to go back to her house to sleep every day. It just so happened that Wang Xinran was busy with her acting class, so Wang Xinran basically went to the National People's Congress with Su Yingxue every day after class.
Su Yingxue was closely monitored by her aunt. Li Mu suddenly became a little depressed. He didn't go to Yucheng Garden every night and stayed in the dormitory.
Li Mu's good brother, Zhao Kang, had a girlfriend before the holidays. She was a beautiful girl from Yanjing Jiaotong University. The reason why they knew each other was mainly because a guy named Wang Ke, who slept on the bunk above Zhao Kang, was the girl's cousin.
Zhao Kang paid great attention to how to conduct himself in school. Not only his dormitory, but his reputation in the whole school was very high. He was also very willing to spend money with his classmates, so he often followed a group of students to eat and drink, calling him Brother Kang.
It wasn't that Zhao Kang became arrogant after he became rich, but he had led the Internet Water Army for a long time. He knew that benefits were the fastest way to win people's hearts. Spending more money on them was actually a drop in the bucket for him. However, this group of people was very useful at critical times, and he could basically be called at any time.
Because Wang Ke slept on the bunk with Zhao Kang, he was the closest to Zhao Kang and also the one who benefited the most from Zhao Kang. He ate Zhao Kang's food all day, played with Zhao Kang, and even the money he spent chasing girls was sponsored by Zhao Kang. Over time, he felt that there was nothing he could do to repay him, so he sold out his cousin.
Ever since Zhao Kang started working with Li Mu on the Stone Age plug-ins during the summer vacation, his ambition for his career had skyrocketed. Initially, he did not have any thoughts of falling in love, but he could not resist Wang Ke's constant urging. Under his matchmaking, he had a meal with Wang Ke's cousin.
Wang Ke's cousin was called Wang Jia. She was a sophomore at Yanjing Jiaotong University. Her looks were above average, but she was a very good person. She was very sensible and very pure. She immediately captured Zhao Kang's heart and made him fall in love.
Since then, Zhao Kang would go to Jiaotong University every few days and look for Wang Jia to have a meal with. He would often give her gifts and do something romantic.
In the beginning, he would give her flowers, books, or other small things that were more meaningful. He was also very considerate to Wang Jia, asking about her well-being through text messages and phone calls every day. At first, Wang Jia didn't have any feelings for Zhao Kang, but like other women, she was touched by the man's meticulous care. As time went by, she also had a good impression of Zhao Kang.
After frequent contact, Zhao Kang realized that Wang Jia's family was average. She was usually more thrifty when it came to clothes, food, and shopping. Therefore, he changed his strategy and would give her slightly more expensive things every few days.
For example, he always felt that Wang Jia wasn't suitable to use her old Motorola phone. Coincidentally, the two of them had just watched the popular Korean movie "My Sassy Girlfriend," so Zhao Kang bought her a Samsung A288, the most popular A288 phone. At first, Wang Jia was adamant about it, but Zhao Kang had a better way to coerce her. He hung the unopened packaging of the phone outside the bridge and told Wang Jia that if she didn't want it, he would throw the phone from there and the two of them would no longer contact each other. Wang Jia couldn't bear to become strangers with Zhao Kang, and she also couldn't bear to let such a good phone fall from such a high place. Therefore, she compromised.
That phone became the stepping stone for Zhao Kang's romance.
After Wang Jia accepted the phone, she became the focus of the other girls in the dormitory. She wasn't vain, but when others envied her for having such a generous boyfriend who doted on her so much, she developed a sense of vanity for the first time. As a result, her feelings for Zhao Kang rapidly increased.
Later, when Zhao Kang realized that Wang Jia didn't have a computer, he went to Zhongguancun and spent 18,000 yuan to buy the latest IBM laptop model. When he appeared at Wang Jia's dormitory with the laptop case, all the girls in the dormitory building were in an uproar.
There weren't many girls in Jiao Tong University to begin with, and most of them were girls majoring in science and engineering. It could be said that good-looking girls were rare, so the atmosphere among the girls in the university was very good. There had never been a case of a rich man coming to Jiao Tong University to court a girl. A guy like Zhao Kang, who directly brought a laptop worth nearly 20,000 yuan to his girlfriend, was even more unprecedented.
Zhao Kang wasn't some rich man from outside the university. He was even one year younger than Wang Jia, and he wasn't some rich second-generation heir who liked to play around with girls. Those who knew Wang Jia all knew that he was Wang Jia's boyfriend, her real boyfriend.
A guy who was willing to spend so much money after successfully courting her was even rarer in the eyes of the girls.
Wang Jia was shocked by the weight of the gift, but Zhao Kang always had a way to make her accept it. This time, the reason he used was, "Look, so many people are watching. You're my girlfriend. If you reject me in front of so many people, how can I still have the face to come to your school in the future?"
When Zhao Kang said this, the girls who were watching from the sidelines screamed. Wang Jia could see the envy and jealousy on their faces. At that moment, she was so happy that she almost fainted.
In the end, Wang Jia accepted Zhao Kang's extremely valuable gift, and she became the most envied girl in Jiao Tong University. This girl wasn't materialistic, but Zhao Kang broke through her psychological defense with material things. Their relationship continued to warm up, so much so that Zhao Kang's development with her was far faster than Li Mu and Su Yingxue's.
Li Mu and Su Yingxue had only broken through their upper bodies just before the holidays, and that was the only time. On the other hand, Zhao Kang and Wang Jia were almost at the point where they were just one step away.
Zhao Kang, who wanted to break through the last obstacle, kept using all kinds of obscure ways to express his desire to Wang Jia. Wang Jia understood in her heart that she wasn't really against it, but she was a little hesitant and conflicted. After all, it was a woman's most precious first time, so she kept reminding herself to be more careful.
Zhao Kang was still unable to break through the last barrier even when the holidays were about to start. Burning with anxiety, he could only play the pity card. He poured out his heart to Wang Jia about the upcoming holidays and the pain of being separated for more than a month. He asked Wang Jia to go to a famous hot spring hotel in the northern suburbs of Yan Jing to soak in the hot springs after the exams and before the official holidays.
When Wang Jia thought about being separated from the man she loved for more than a month, she felt extremely reluctant. This emotion filled her whole body, so even though she knew what it meant for Zhao Kang to ask her to go to the hot spring hotel, she still agreed.
For Wang Jia, she was already prepared to dedicate her body to her lover. Although she was much younger than she thought she was, her heart was filled with love for him, so she couldn't care less.
Zhao Kang was extremely excited. He arranged to borrow a car from Li Mu in advance, but he didn't tell Li Mu that he was already in a relationship. He wanted to wait until everything was settled before telling him. This was also his usual style.
When Li Mu heard that he wanted to borrow a car for two days, he agreed without thinking. Anyway, he had nothing to do at the moment, so it didn't matter if he had a car or not.
That morning, Zhao Kang went to Yucheng Garden to drive away Li Mu's GL8. He first drove to Jiao Tong University to pick up Wang Jia, then drove her to the hot spring hotel that he had already booked.
Zhao Kang had prepared for this day for a long time. Not only did he call to reserve the most luxurious suite with an independent hot spring in the hot spring hotel, but he also specially bought a large bouquet of roses. Then, he spent more than double the original price to entrust the florist to send the flowers to the hot spring hotel room that evening.
Taobao hadn't been born yet, and the intra-city delivery business of offline physical stores hadn't been launched beyond the Fifth Ring Road. However, this wasn't a problem for Zhao Kang, because there was no problem that couldn't be solved with money. After paying a few hundred yuan, the florist decided to personally drive the flowers to the hot spring hotel.
Everything was ready, and they were just waiting for that romantic and sacred moment tonight. Sitting in the car, the two people had different thoughts. Zhao Kang couldn't wait to break his adult male body, while Wang Jia was still a little afraid of this kind of thing. On the one hand, it was because some things couldn't be regained once they were lost. On the other hand, she had also heard from a girl in the dormitory that a woman's first time was so painful that she wanted to die.
…
While Zhao Kang was quietly enjoying his time with his girlfriend, Li Mu was signing a contract with Shengda's representative at Makino Technology. Both parties had reached an agreement on the cooperation of Alipay to provide payment channels to Shengda Legend. For the first six months, Alipay would take 10% of Legend's users' revenue as a commission. In the seventh month, Shengda would offer a 65% discount to Alipay users. Alipay also needed to cooperate with Shengda's promotion. In the seventh month, Shengda would waive all commissions from Shengda. Then, starting from the eighth month, Alipay's commission would be reduced to 5%, and Shengda would give Alipay users a long-term discount of 9.8%.
Since Alipay was exclusively owned by Li Mu, Li Mu couldn't ask Lin Ching-ah to sign the contract on his behalf. He could only bring the company's official seal and contract stamp to meet Shengda's representative, Fu Bin, and sign the contract in Makino Technology's meeting room.
After signing the contract, Fu Bin was relieved. The company's headquarters was quite satisfied with this cooperation. Most importantly, the commission after six months would be reduced by half. Although Shengda still had to give 2% as a subsidy to the users, it was beneficial for Shengda to give the money to the users. Giving the money to the payment channels was basically like throwing a meat bun at a dog.
Li Mu was also in a good mood. Alipay had taken the first step of doing business with other companies not long after it was set up. Every move of Legend had attracted the attention of the entire internet industry, and it would also promote Alipay to a certain extent.
At noon, Li Mu invited Fu Bin for lunch. He brought Fu Bin, Lin Ching-ah, and Kong Lingyu to a famous roast duck restaurant in Beijing. Before the chef could finish cutting the duck, Li Mu received a call from Zhao Kang. When the call was connected, an unfamiliar voice came from the other end.
"Hello, are you Zhao Kang's friend?"
"I am. What's up?"
