He's Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 537: 【537】Relying on others’ righteousness, taking advantage of others’ generosity?_1

“Sir, we need to discuss this internally. Please hold on for a moment.”

After receiving Tang Feng’s proposal, Penguin on the other end hung up the call.

Those who had been eliminated by Tang Feng were secretly hoping that Penguin would refuse, just so that you could show off some more.

But their hopes were dashed quickly, as Penguin responded swiftly.

“Agreed!”

The smile on Tang Feng’s lips could no longer be concealed, slowly spreading across his face, “Your company has an office in Zhonghai, right? Have your people come to Zhonghai University to find me, and we can sign the contract immediately.”

“Are you in such a rush?” It was clear that Penguin hadn’t expected Tang Feng to act so decisively and quickly.

“Is that a problem?” Tang Feng countered.

“Not at all. I’ll have our colleagues in Zhonghai prepare the contract and materials, and head to Zhonghai University immediately.” After saying this, the other party hung up the call.

Tang Feng, with a smile on his face, handed the phone back to Liu Xingxu, “It’s settled. Penguin’s people will be here soon. We’ll sign the contract on the spot.”

“Congratulations, Boss Tang, on making twenty million with tears,” Liu Xingxu spoke with a sour tone.

In fact, he was being conservative in his estimation because the contract Tang Feng signed with Penguin included a guaranteed sum plus a share of the profits.

Twenty million was the money that could be obtained immediately; if the game attracted a lot of players, the subsequent revenue from profit-sharing would be even greater.

Loss, a huge loss!

Tang Feng was about to console him with a few words when he saw Ma Haoran trying to slip away stealthily.

“Stop right there!”

Before he could say anything, Xu Xinling had already caught up with him, dragging him back.

“Mr. Ma, where are you off to in such hurry?” Xu Xinling asked him with ill intent in her eyes.

“Haha, I… I urgently need to use the restroom…” Ma Haoran’s gaze darted around.

Now that the outcome was decided and Penguin’s representatives were about to come to sign the contract, he no longer had an excuse to wriggle out of it.

Xu Xinling, of course, was aware of his little schemes and let out a cold chuckle, “Sure, hand over the car keys first, then you can go to the restroom.”

Ma Haoran quickly plastered a smile on his face, “Miss Xu… with your wealth, you surely wouldn’t care for an old Mercedes? I think, let’s just forget about our bet.”

“Forget about it? Why should we forget about it? If I had lost this bet, would you have let it go?” Xu Xinling unceremoniously retorted.

Ma Haoran’s eyes shifted, suddenly falling to his knees and reaching out to hug Xu Xinling’s leg.

Xu Xinling hastily stepped back, shouting angrily, “What are you doing?”

Ma Haoran began banging his head on the ground, “Miss Xu, please show some mercy. That car is my last asset. If I give that car to you, I’ll truly be left with nothing. Please, have a heart and let me off this time…”

This guy really lived up to being an actor; his acting was not too shabby. He sobbed with snot and tears, tugging at heartstrings.

Many onlookers were moved by his display, garnering a twinge of empathetic sorrow.

“I think it’s better to let it go. It’s not necessary to push someone too far.”

“Yeah, you just made over twenty million on a small game; you surely won’t care about one car anymore, right?”

“Exactly, he’s already pitiful enough. You can’t really wipe him out, can you?”

“After all, he is a man, and he’s down on his knees begging. There’s a limit to everything…”

Ma Haoran, hearing the crowd pleading for him, felt quite smug internally.

It seemed his acting skills had improved, deceiving these simpletons completely.

In the future, he might well try to develop himself into a serious actor.

When Xu Xinling heard the crowd asking for mercy on behalf of Ma Haoran, a cold smirk appeared on her pretty face, “You all talk so nicely, using others’ generosity to express your thoughts? If you were in my place, would you let him off the hook?”

The crowd fell silent at her question.

If it were them, they wouldn’t be so magnanimous.

We’re talking about a Mercedes worth more than a hundred thousand, after all. Who would be that generous?

Still, there were people who deliberately stirred the pot, “I would!”

Xu Xinling immediately looked at that person, “You would, huh? Okay, if you’re willing to cover for him and pay off the contract, I can let him go.”

The person immediately said with an air of righteousness, “If I had a Mercedes, I certainly would help him out, but sadly I don’t.”

Xu Xinling’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “Even if you don’t have a Mercedes, you should have a family car worth ten thousand, or a motorbike worth a thousand, right? No matter how much your vehicle is worth, as long as you’re willing to pay me, I’ll let him off.”

The person was instantly left red-faced and speechless by her comeback.

He didn’t know Ma Haoran and certainly wouldn’t want to be the sucker in this situation.

Forget a motorbike; not even a bicycle would he consider.

A bicycle costs several hundred. Isn’t eating meat more appealing?

Xu Xinling no longer paid any attention to the person, her gaze slowly sweeping over the onlookers.

“To be honest, a car worth more than a hundred thousand really isn’t a big deal to me. Even if given to me, I wouldn’t drive it; it’d be too humiliating. However, since you dared to bet with me and signed a contract, you have to follow through with the contract.”

As she spoke, her gaze intensively focused on Ma Haoran, “If you dare to renege on our deal, then just try it. I would go bankrupt if necessary, to sue you until you fulfill the bet.”

When she said these words, she exuded an indescribable commanding presence.

Even Tang Feng, standing beside her, couldn’t help but take notice, not to mention everyone else.

At that moment, Xu Xinling seemed to onlookers like a female general who had been through numerous battles, radiating a sharp and fierce aura.

Many were so intimidated that they didn’t dare to breathe loudly, especially Ma Haoran, who was squarely in her sights.

“I… I will honour my promise…”

He wore a mournful expression, accepting the harsh reality.

It wasn’t so much Xu Xinling’s dominance that subdued him; rather, he didn’t want to make a big scene.

He was, after all, a public figure. Though his popularity wasn’t what it used to be, he still had a chance for a comeback.

But if he got embroiled in legal disputes, it would ruin his public image, and his career in this industry would be over.

Besides, Tang Feng and Xu Xinling clearly were not to be trifled with, possessing far greater strength than him.

Stubbornly fighting to the end with such people would bring him no benefit.

So, even though it was against his wishes, in the end, he had to accept defeat…
