I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1063: Pleasant Cooperation

Tang Ruixuan listened from the side, occasionally taking a sip of tea and smiling to show her understanding.

Soon the dishes were served one after another.

Tong Hua, somewhat reservedly, urged the four girls to eat.

Zhou Xiaoyu then asked, "Senior, are you planning to start your own business after graduation? Don't you want to gain a few years of work experience first?"

Tong Hua was honest, "To be honest, the project I'm working on right now is at its most critical stage. The technical route has just been completed. If we delay it, the opportunity may pass. So I want to seize every second to make the most of this opportunity."

Tang Ruixuan, sitting at the lower end of the table, listened quietly the whole time, without readily expressing her own opinion.

The dishes were served one after another, and Tong Hua served soup and handed out tissues to everyone with a humble yet respectful attitude.

There was neither excessive flattery nor restraint.

The conversation paused for a moment, and after they had eaten about half of the meal, Lin Weiwei suddenly asked, "Senior, do you really think you can succeed?"

Tong Hua paused for a moment, then considered it seriously before saying, "I dare not say I will be 100% successful, but I will do my best. I have read about the stories of many entrepreneurs, some successful and some unsuccessful. I have found that those who succeed in the end are not necessarily the smartest, but they are definitely the most resilient. I know myself, I may not be the smartest, but I can guarantee that I am the most resilient."

Regardless, Tong Hua's words gave the four girls a different impression of him.

After the meal, Tong Hua went to pay the bill, only to find that someone had already paid for it in advance.

"You're really treating us?" Tong Hua felt a little embarrassed.

"Next time!" Tang Ruixuan said with a smile, "When you make money in the future, you can treat us to a good meal."

"Definitely!" Tong Hua nodded with a smile.

The five people parted ways at the restaurant entrance.

On the way back to the dormitory, Chen Yue was the first to comment: "I think Senior Tong is a very honest person, not glib."

Zhou Xiaoyu also expressed her opinion on this: "From a psychological point of view, he behaved very naturally when facing multiple women. He did not deliberately show off, nor was he too nervous or reserved. This shows that Senior Tong does not rely on external evaluation to confirm his self-worth."

Lin Weiwei nodded: "Indeed, Senior Tong did not hide his family background."

Tang Ruixuan, who was treating everyone today, remained silent, because her perspective was completely different from that of her three roommates.

This led her three roommates to believe that she had other ideas, so they didn't press her for details.

In the days that followed, Tang Ruixuan found several of Tong Hua's papers and studied them carefully several times. In addition, she asked someone to inquire about Tong Hua's reputation at the school.

It's pretty good; the feedback I've received has all been positive.

On Monday, Tang Ruixuan checked her class schedule and sent Tong Hua a text message, asking him to meet her at a coffee shop next to the library.

Tong Hua mistakenly believed that Tang Ruixuan had helped him find investors, and upon meeting her, he immediately asked, "Is there an investor who would like to talk?"

Tang Ruixuan looked at him and shook her head: "It's not any other investor, it's me who plans to invest in you."

Tong Hua was stunned for a long time before she could react: "What did you say?"

The system has matched you with the urban fiction category. Click to view details.

Tang Ruixuan looked at Tong Hua and said, word by word, "I said I want to invest in your project as an angel investor in my own name. I'll cover the five million you need."

Upon hearing Tang Ruixuan's words, Tong Hua was speechless with astonishment. After a long pause, she opened her mouth and asked, "You're not joking, are you? Five million? Where did you get so much money?"

Tang Ruixuan initially did not disclose the source of the funds: "Don't worry about that, anyway, the money came from a clean and honest source."

She then made a condition: "However, I have one condition."

Tong Hua understood, of course, that this investment of several million dollars out of thin air would not come with simple conditions, so he straightened his posture.

"you say!"

Tang Ruixuan looked into Tong Hua's eyes and said, "This five million isn't just for show. I want a certain percentage of the shares in the company you're starting. We can discuss the specific percentage. But I need to be involved in the company's major decisions. Don't worry, I won't interfere with your daily operations. I only care about whether your direction is right and whether you need resources. To put it bluntly, if you can accept this, we'll be partners. If you can't, that's fine too; we'll still be classmates."

Tong Hua was stunned. He never expected that his junior classmate would become his partner. It was truly an eye-opener. Although he had guessed that Tang Ruixuan's family might be well-off, this sudden turn of events left him completely at a loss.

After a long pause, Tong Hua stammered, "Can I ask why? It's not because you feel sorry for me, is it?"

Tang Ruixuan replied solemnly, "Senior, please don't misunderstand. I'm investing in you because I understand your research direction and trust your character. We've known each other for two years, so I know your personality to some extent. I think you can achieve results, so this is my investment in you because I believe in you."

At this point, Tang Ruixuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Technology investment is actually like a game; the best time is when others don't understand it, so I'm buying at the bottom."

Tong Hua was stunned. He had contacted more than a dozen investment institutions and investors during this period and had been turned away countless times. He had approached Tang Ruixuan with the mindset of trying anything as a last resort. Unexpectedly, this junior from his year younger said that she was willing to invest five million in him.

If he hadn't pinched himself hard, he would have thought he was dreaming.

"Tang Ruixuan, are you telling the truth?"

Tang Ruixuan had already guessed that Tong Hua would ask this question, so she said, "I have already arranged the legal and professional investment managers. Now I'm just waiting to discuss the details with you. Of course, you can't just take this five million for free. You have to show your sincerity in exchange."

Tong Hua was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Was five million just five hundred yuan? Who exactly was this junior?

Seeing Tong Hua's state, Tang Ruixuan told Tong Hua about her background.

"Senior, to be honest, my family is in business. You can look into the Huahong Group in Shanghai. My father is the chairman, Tang Jianhua. The Huahong Restaurant in Nanjing is also owned by my family. In addition, the xxx Hotel and the xxx Holiday Hotel are also owned by my family."

Hearing this, Tong Hua believed it.

His voice was a little hoarse, but his expression was exceptionally sincere: "Thank you for your trust in me."

Tang Ruixuan smiled and extended her right hand: "It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Tong Hua immediately grasped Tang Ruixuan's hand: "It's a pleasure working with you!"
