Lei Jiacheng and Rui were stunned on the spot. Why didn't they hear the answer they expected to hear?
Wang Dong asked with a smile, "Did you hear it clearly?"
"This is impossible! I told you to freaking tell the truth! Did you really see it?"
Lei Jiancheng was suspicious.
Jiaze nodded aggrievedly. "I really saw it. Just in case, I even widened my eyes to look. I didn't lie to you, Brother Lei."
"What the hell!"
Seeing that he wasn't lying, Lei Jiacheng directly cursed!
Why didn't things unfold according to his expectations?
He slapped the back of Jiaze's head. "Damn it!"
As Jia Ze dodged, he said, "Brother Lei, didn't you tell me to tell the truth? Why are you still hitting me?"
"Did I freaking ask you to say this version of the truth!? I thought this kid was lying, but I didn't expect it to be true!?"
Lei Jiacheng was furious!
Rui jogged over and said, "Brother Lei, I've confirmed with the lady boss. She said that she admires Wang Dong and the novel he wrote, so she decided to give him 300,000 yuan as her sponsorship."
"How much?"
"300,000!"
Lei Jiacheng and Jiaze were shocked!
The latter only saw that the lady boss had given Wang Dong a large sum of money, but he didn't know how much was inside.
Wang Dong's smile became even wider. "Are you convinced now? This competition has just started and now it's already over. I think even if I give you a few more months, you won't be able to get 300,000 worth of sponsorship fees, right? I wonder if it will be enough if it's the total fees gathered by all three of you?"
The three of them fell silent.
How embarrassing!
Wasn't it said that three men were better than one genius?
Even if they added up the sponsorship fees, it probably wouldn't exceed 150,000, let alone 300,000!
Moreover, Wang Dong had gotten this money with his own abilities and didn't violate the agreement to use the research center's money. If the lady boss was willing to give it to him, what could they do?
Wang Dong continued, "I don't expect you to admire me from the bottom of your heart, but at least do your best on the surface. In the future, when you see me, just call me division leader obediently. If you still want to challenge me one day, I don't mind, but…"
"Since I'm the division leader, I have the ability to fire division members. If you lose again the second time, don't blame me for kicking you out of the public relations division! Moreover, isn't everyone's goal to make the division better?"
"I hate fickle people, understand?"
Lei Jiacheng had no choice but to accept this. He still wanted to stay in the public relations division, so he said, "…Understood."
Rui and Jiaze also said, "Understood."
"Very good."
Wang Dong had even managed a company before. Wouldn't it be easy for him to manage a mere public relations division?
Three days later.
There was a sea of people in the Hellens Music Bar. At a glance, there were at least three times more people than before!
Fang Shiwan looked at the bills and her smile never stopped. Inviting Wang Dong over was the smartest choice she had ever made in her life!
She pulled at the waiter dressed as a wolf and said, "Send some drinks to the author's table and prepare some desserts, in case he's hungry later."
"Alright."
At the same time, the readers who were queuing to wait for autographs were all lined up on the street outside. Those who didn't know better might think that there was a free giveaway being held here.
Wang Dong received countless praise and small gifts.
He even signed autographs until his right hand was trembling. However, after seeing the expectant gazes of the readers, he felt that it wasn't a loss.
Slowly, he became numb.
As soon as the book was handed to him, he reflexively signed his name on it.
After some time, it was finally done.
He put down the pen, picked up the lemon juice with his left hand, and gulped it down.
Then, he picked up the dessert to fill his stomach.
Fang Shiwan came to his side and rubbed his shoulder. "It's been hard on you. There are too many guests today. Even the waiters are so busy."
"Anything else?"
Wang Dong looked at his trembling right hand and sighed.
Fang Shiwan smiled gently. "There's also a band performance. Guess how much our sales increased today?"
"…Five times the usual amount?" He said uncertainly.
Fang Shiwan chuckled and said, "You still underestimated the readers of Twilight. Ten times."
This time, even Wang Dong was shocked!
"Are you sure?"
Fang Shiwan replied, "Of course. I got someone to calculate it a few times. I also calculated it three times myself. It's ten times! This can be equivalent to half a year of my sales."
She bent down and said, "I have to thank you properly. My husband is working abroad, so why don't you come with me today instead of going back to school. I believe you haven't experienced a woman before, right?"
These words impacted Wang Dong greatly.
Although he had lived two lives, he was still single.
Fortunately, he didn't care about this.
"So what?"
The corners of Fang Shiwan's mouth curled up. "Instead of handing your first time to an inexperienced little girl, why don't you trust me? I'll let you have a beautiful experience. How about it?"
She was sure that her charm was something young people couldn't resist. As long as she casually gestured with her finger, those men would take the initiative to come to her.
Unfortunately, she encountered Wang Dong, who loved money more than anything else in his life.
Wang Dong's mood didn't change at all. "I'm still young. There's no hurry for this kind of thing."
"Don't you know? Once a man reaches adulthood, he'll be a real adult. However, you haven't experienced the joy of being an adult."
Fang Shiwan tried to entice him.
Wang Dong said with a smile, "Is that so? I feel that earning money is the joy of adults. Only when I look at the money I've made will I feel that living is meaningful."
She poked his shoulder angrily and said, "Why are you so unromantic?"
Seeing that Wang Dong was stubborn, Fang Shiwan gave up. However, this also aroused her competitive spirit. She felt that she had to take this person down!
At this moment, the band invited by the bar walked up.
When Wang Dong saw the lead singer on the stage, his pupils suddenly constricted.
The curly-haired girl in a white T-shirt and warm pants picked up the microphone. Although she had smoky makeup on, it could still be seen that she had a good foundation.
Her fair long legs and sexy waistline made some men swallow their saliva.
Most of the people's gazes were focused on her. It was probably because she was the only female in the band.
Wang Dong looked at her and felt that things had changed.
Fang Shiwan saw that his expression was strange and said, "Why? You know the little girl on the stage?"
"…What band is this?" He asked.
Fang Shiwan's gaze was ambiguous. "The Butterfly Band can be considered to be somewhat famous. The lead singer is the little girl with the bass. I remember the name seems to be…"
"Zuo Mei."
