Early the next morning, a phone call from Melzac pulled Li Xiaochen out of bed, who had not slept enough, and pulled him to the school gate.
A stylish silver-gray convertible Mercedes-Benz was already waiting for him. Melzak, who was wearing a pair of purple sunglasses in the car, was smiling and waving to him.
Li Xiaochen yawned and asked, "Say, Dean, you asked me to come here early in the morning. What can I do for you?"
"Actually, I have a small favor that I need you to do."
"Oh?" Li Xiaochen asked curiously: "I have no money and no sex, how can I help?"
Melzak smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Cowboy, you are actually very good-looking. There is a beautiful woman who has taken a liking to you and insists on me taking you there. Otherwise, the contract I negotiated with her will be lost."
"
Li Xiaochen blinked, not understanding the meaning of his words: "Do I... have any necessary connection with your contract?"
"Yes. I am discussing with investors to build a theme park in Yinluo City. However, the other party made a strange request, saying that they will only continue talking with me after meeting you." Melzak shrugged.
With a helpless expression, "I don't know why I have to see you."
"I'm not interested." Li Xiaochen lowered his eyelids, turned around and left.
Are you kidding me? How can I have time to fool around with him? I still have a bunch of classes to attend this morning. What if I am caught skipping classes, what will happen to my credits? Do you still want to graduate?
"Hey, cowboy, don't leave me with a manly and melancholy figure, then irresponsibly take your slutty little steps, and then leave in a coquettish way..." Melzac stepped out of the car.
He jumped up and down and stopped Li Xiaochen, "I am also the dean after all. You have to give me some face?"
Li Xiaochen pretended to regret and said: "Dean, it's not that I don't want to accompany you, it's just that I don't have the time. As a man with an iron will flowing in his blood, why don't I want to use my strong copper and iron
Will your bones turn into thousands of strands of tender and entangled love, to help you melt the iron heart of the beauty investor that never melts?"
Li Xiaochen sighed sadly, with an expression of great sorrow: "But I am just a bumpy and hard-working young man who is lost on the road of life. He is meager. In addition, there are many professional classes this morning. And the subject professor and I
We have also established a deep friendship between teachers and students. I should not not go to class, both rationally and emotionally. Alas, how can I, who is known as a resolute man, let down the dean's kindness to me just like this...
?So disrespectful to the dean... Oh! So disrespectful to the dean..."
At the end of the story, he was almost in tears, choked with sobs and crying, vividly portraying himself as a tragic figure in a dilemma - so last resort, so helpless, and so heartbroken.
How could the sophisticated Melzac fail to see his tricks?
He also pretended to be sorry and said: "I understand, I completely understand your mood. Originally, I wanted to give you a remuneration of 0.1/1000 after we negotiated this project worth 40 million US dollars.
, to make up for the gap in friendship between you and the professor. Alas, who would have thought... It's a pity, it's a pity..."
Li Xiaochen, who had already walked towards the teaching building, heard his words and his ears twitched.
"Dean, why are you like this!" Li Xiaochen turned around and reprimanded righteously: "How can the relationship between teachers and students be settled with money? Not everything in this world can be bought with money! Besides, Qian
The reward of 0.1% is simply minuscule. You are simply insulting my relationship with the professors!"
After saying that, he didn't look back and left proudly like a proud petrel flying in the storm.
However, after taking a few steps, Li Xiaochen, who slowed down his movement, quickly calculated in his mind: 0.1/1000 of forty million U.S. dollars is four thousand U.S. dollars. Even if converted into local currency at an exchange rate of one to six, then
It’s also twenty-four thousand yuan! Not two hundred and four, not two thousand four, but a whopping twenty-four thousand yuan!
"Haha, um, Dean, are you sure it's 0.1/1,000, not 0.01/1,000? Or maybe I heard it wrong just now. It's actually 0/1,000?" Li Xiaochen said.
He trotted back to Melzac and asked cautiously.
…
After driving away from the university town, Melzak took Li Xiaochen and headed straight to the city center.
"Who is that person? I generally don't know rich people, let alone have anything to do with them," Li Xiaochen thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember that he had met any wealthy people.
"The investor is a beautiful woman from Singapore named Tao Qianyun. Whether you recognize her or not, be smart later. Don't mess up my project."
Li Xiaochen always felt that something was wrong: "Wait a minute. Dean, aren't you the leader of our school? Why are you doing this? Is it a side job?"
Melzac chuckled: "Our film department has thirty-three universities, sixty-two companies, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five houses around the world, and tens of thousands of subordinate employees. Mei's Management
College? It's just a third-rate university opened to hide the headquarters of the Film Department. I also have many industries. I can make a lot of money every year."
Li Xiaochen opened his mouth in a daze, and couldn't help shouting in his heart: Corruption! These days, monks drive luxury cars, priests marry nuns, and even the film department is not doing its job, building schools, opening companies, and making a lot of money!
"People who are cultivating immortals also have to eat, drink, and defecate. They cannot survive just by relying on charity and support from others. Such a large Xianlun sect depends entirely on the money earned by the film department. The film department not only pays salaries and bonuses to its members every year, but also
You have to pay a lot of fees for cultivating the world of immortality. How can you do anything without money?"
Melzac turned his head with a smile and said to Li Xiaochen: "Cowboy, join our film department. As long as you are willing to come in, you will have money, a girl, a car and so on. I can also promise you that in the future, you will be a film director."
The position of minister must be yours. All those industries will be left to you. How about it? Are the conditions favorable enough?"
"This...how much can you earn in a year?" It was impossible not to be moved. However, Li Xiaochen still tried his best to stay calm and could not lose his composure again.
"Business secrets." Melzac smiled mysteriously, "If you really want to know, just join the film department and I will tell you everything. And I will also personally guide you in your practice and tell you how to use the God's Thunder Eye.
. You must know that the secret skills of the Xianlun Sect are the best in the world, and it is definitely the ultimate treasure for pretending to be handsome and picking up girls. Do you want to get the pleasure of 'turning your fingers and turning powerful enemies into ashes'? Do you want to be 'turning down thousands of people with a smile'
Beauty's handsome boy? Do you want..."
"Definitely..." Li Xiaochen quickly stopped Melzac, "Dean, why do I think you are engaging in illegal pyramid schemes?"
Melzak suddenly stopped smiling and said solemnly: "Joining the film department, why do you have any hesitation? Without my guidance, sooner or later the divine thunder eye hidden in your body will run wild because you don't know how to use it.
By then, it will be too late for you to cry."
Li Xiaochen said: "I don't know if you are tricking me or if you really want to recruit me. But I can't do things according to your wishes at the moment. Because your film department has too many rules and regulations. I'm sorry to disappoint you?"
Melzak pondered for a moment and said, "Are you doing it for Jiang Mi'er? If you join the shadow department that does not intervene in any internal conflicts within the family, you won't be able to help her achieve a certain goal. That's why you don't want to come in."
Li Xiaochen didn't expect that this middle-aged cowboy was so perceptive and could guess his thoughts thoroughly.
From another perspective, the film department’s ability to collect intelligence is indeed very strong. Otherwise, how would Melzac know about Jiang Mier?
Now that he had been seen through, Li Xiaochen simply smiled and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Seeing that he remained silent, Melzak did not force himself: "Let me tell you about the Divine Thunder Eye. I think you should know that you have the treasure of the Xianlun Sect in your body. But why is it in you?
Have you ever thought about it?"
Li Xiaochen shook his head in confusion.
Melzak said: "Because I arranged all of this in advance. I brought the Divine Thunder Eye Cang from the Xianlun Sect to Yinluo City, and deliberately released the information so that some people who coveted the sect's treasure could get the news. Then
Through them, I found you who was finally recognized by the God of Thunder Eyes."
Li Xiaochen asked curiously: "Why do you want to do such a thing? What's the benefit of looking for me?"
"Now is the time when the heaven and the earth are recovering. The righteous path is weak and the evil spirits are in power. The leader of our sect, Guan Xing, predicts that there will be a great catastrophe involving the fairy world, the human world and the ghost world in the near future. The Xianlun Sect and the four major families will definitely
It is difficult to stop the catastrophe. We need an immortal who can help all sentient beings in the world survive the disaster."
"And the immortal you are looking for is me?" Li Xiaochen couldn't help laughing, "Save the world? Come on, such an old-fashioned plot has long been outdated. Many novels are written like this."
Melzak did not refute and said: "The God of Thunder Eyes chose you instead of others. Do you know why?"
Li Xiaochen thought about it for a while and remembered the last time he entered the Divine Thunder Eye and talked with the ancient thunder god. If what that old Lei said was true, then he was a heavenly being in his previous life?
In the previous life, I sealed the ancient thunder god in the Divine Thunder Eye. In this life, I obtained the Divine Thunder Eye again.
Is this the inevitable result of cause and effect, the fate of ten thousand years of reincarnation, or is it a script that God has already written for him?
After thinking about it, Li Xiaochen felt that the way of heaven was so profound and wonderful that it was really difficult to fathom.
At this time, Melzak said again: "I can tell you that there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason. Things that seem to be coincidences all have inevitable factors. In a word, they are inevitable.
It's just a series of accidents. Since God chose you, it has its own reason. You have your mission and your destiny. I bet you that in the near future, you will definitely come to beg me -
—Please ask me to let you join the film department."
Li Xiaochen said with some displeasure: "My destiny is controlled by myself. I don't like others to control my destiny."
Melzak smiled and said: "Cowboy, you still don't understand many things. Changing your destiny is not that simple."
While he was talking, the car had stopped at the parking lot of the Imperial Tower Hotel. Melzak took Li Xiaochen and entered the luxurious business negotiation room under the guidance of the hotel staff.
This is not the first time Li Xiaochen has come here. The last time Liu Rongwei held the Hongmen Banquet, it was also in this place.
As soon as you enter the negotiation room, the first thing you see is a neat and tidy white-collar beauty in formal attire.
She looks to be between thirty and forty years old. Her face is of moderate shades of pink and shade. The glasses on the bridge of her nose add a bit of intellectual beauty to her.
She was reading the information. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she raised her head and saw Melzac, who was still smiling, and Li Xiaochen, who was maintaining a polite smile.
After greetings, Melzak took the initiative to introduce them: "This handsome cowboy is the Li Xiaochen you want to meet. And she is my investor representative, Ms. Tao Qianyun from Singapore."
