Chapter 527: [(527)] Why are you so shameless?_1

The multimedia classroom was already overcrowded.

Han Xiaoxiao squeezed in among the crowd, feeling quite frustrated.

She had come with their boss.

Their company was just a small game company from out of town that had been established for less than a year.

Recently, the company had developed a game, but due to the inability to find investors, the development progress was very slow.

Yesterday, their boss rushed to Zhonghai overnight to find her, saying that he had heard a piece of news that there was a naive and wealthy boss in Zhonghai who, after talking for less than a few minutes, rashly invested in a newly established film company.

In this day and age, such naive and rich fools had already become extinct, and now that they had finally encountered one, they absolutely couldn’t let the opportunity slip away.

It was right in the middle of the National Day holiday, and Han Xiaoxiao naturally didn’t want to work as an unpaid laborer.

But her boss had pleaded with her earnestly, insisting that she come with him.

He even said that it was a beauty trick, and without a beauty, it wouldn’t work.

He even almost knelt down to beg her in the end.

He said that if she didn’t come, the company wouldn’t be able to find investors.

If they couldn’t find investors, the new game couldn’t continue to be developed.

If the new game couldn’t continue to be developed, the company would go bankrupt.

If the company went bankrupt, countless outstanding game industry workers would become unemployed, which in turn would cause significant damage to our country’s game industry and lose the opportunity to compete with foreign game companies.

From the sound of it, if she didn’t come today, she would be letting down the people, the country, and the world.

Faced with such a low form of moral blackmail, Han Xiaoxiao eventually had no choice but to compromise.

She wasn’t afraid of causing significant damage to our country’s game industry, mainly she was afraid of becoming unemployed.

“There are so many people here? The competition pressure is so great. Do you think our small company still has a chance?”

Liu Xingxu, the unscrupulous boss sitting next to Han Xiaoxiao, looking at the bustling scene, suddenly felt a great pressure.

“Even if there wasn’t a single person here, our chances wouldn’t be great,” Han Xiaoxiao retorted mercilessly.

“Xiaoxiao, it’s wrong for you to speak like that. The game that our company is developing now does have potential,” Liu Xingxu was very dissatisfied with her self-deprecating attitude.

“If it has potential, then why don’t those investors want to invest? Why do we have to run here to scam a naive rich man?” Han Xiaoxiao unreservedly exposed the truth.

“That’s because they lack vision. I have a feeling that once this game is launched, it will definitely be a hit in the gaming industry and blind their dog eyes,” Liu Xingxu stood up from his seat, waving his fists in a very adolescent manner.

Han Xiaoxiao hurriedly covered her face, pretending not to know this person.

Although Liu Xingxu was about the same age as her and was also a man, she never worried that he had any designs on her.

Because this fool wasn’t interested in women, and of course, not in men either.

It seemed that, apart from his crazy passion for comics and games, he had never shown interest in anything else.

Many people around cast disgusted looks at Liu Xingxu.

But Liu Xingxu didn’t care at all, still immersed in his own world.

Just then, a handsome man approached Han Xiaoxiao and very politely pointed to the empty seat beside her, “Excuse me, miss, may I sit here?”

Han Xiaoxiao nodded, “Sure, please do.”

The man sat down next to Han Xiaoxiao and placed a file on his lap, then turned back to start a conversation, “Don’t you recognize me?”

“Huh?” Han Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned, “Do we know each other?”

With a smile that he considered charming, the man said, “I’m Ma Haoran, an actor. I’m pretty famous in Zhonghai. Usually, I get recognized by a lot of fans wherever I go, but you’re the first to not know me.”

Han Xiaoxiao immediately showed an apologetic smile, “Sorry, I’m just visiting Zhonghai, not working here.”

“Oh, I see, that’s why then. If you were from Zhonghai, there’s no way you wouldn’t know me. What do you do for work?”

This man named Ma Haoran started the conversation very familiarly.

But Han Xiaoxiao really didn’t want to talk too much with a stranger, so she just gave perfunctory responses.

Seeing that she didn’t want to elaborate, Ma Haoran began to talk nonstop.

Mainly about the TV dramas he had acted in and the brilliant achievements he had attained, and so on.

In his own boasting, he had become a national celebrity, on par with the likes of Wu Jing, Shen Teng, and Huang Bo.

Han Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes as she listened.

In her mind, she thought, if you’re as amazing as you claim, what are you doing here?

If you were even one-tenth as impressive as you say, wouldn’t countless investors be actively looking for you?

However, she at least maintained a facade of politeness, occasionally interjecting with a noncommittal “That’s quite impressive.”

Ma Haoran apparently took her feigned politeness as praise, and became even more presumptuous, taking out his phone, “Can I add you on WeChat?”

“You’re quite pretty, and if you ever want to enter the entertainment industry, you can contact me. I know a lot of great directors and can introduce you to them.”

“Heh, no thanks, I have no plans to enter the entertainment industry,” Han Xiaoxiao declined tactfully.

“You might not want to now, but that doesn’t mean you won’t want to in the future. The entertainment industry is glamorous and lucrative; countless girls dream of breaking into it. With your good looks, you definitely shouldn’t waste them. Come on, add me as a friend.”

As Ma Haoran spoke, he tried to reach for her phone.

This action was simply too presumptuous.

Han Xiaoxiao immediately got angry and hid her phone behind her back, “What are you doing?”

Her outcry immediately drew many puzzled stares.

Ma Haoran became somewhat annoyed, “What are you shouting for? I just wanted to add you as a friend.”

“But I don’t want to add you as a friend,” Han Xiaoxiao retorted, visibly upset.

“I’m offering you an opportunity here. Do you know how many women beg me to add them, and I can’t be bothered to pay attention to them? Me actively adding you as a friend is an honor for you; you should appreciate this chance,” Ma Haoran said, self-righteously.

At this moment, Liu Xingxu, who was sitting next to them, finally couldn’t stand it anymore and suddenly stood up.

“How can you be so shameless? She’s already said she doesn’t want to add you as a friend. Can’t you understand plain language? Taking kindness for granted, huh?”
