Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

59: Chapter 59 Lin Wan: It’s my fault for not being considerate enough”Then... let’s just go pick him up directly.”

Lin Wan made her choice immediately upon hearing this and sat back properly, her fingers unconsciously smoothing her skirt.

Even though today was her birthday and she was naturally the Protagonist, in her subconscious, ensuring she could successfully pick up Su Bai was more important than her own appearance.

Before long, the car driven by Uncle Fu pulled up smoothly in front of the Lin Corporation office building.

The timing was perfect; barely two minutes after the car stopped, Su Bai’s figure appeared behind the glass revolving doors, walking out looking slightly weary.

Opening the car door and sliding into the back seat, Su Bai only then noticed Lin Wan was also in the car and couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

Though they often went to school together in the morning, this situation of specifically coming to pick him up after work was truly a first.

Of course, if meetings counted as work.

Su Bai didn’t ask much; he reached for the car fridge, pulled out a can of chilled cola, and tilted his head back to take several large gulps.

He sank into the soft leather seat and let out a long breath.

From the driver’s seat, Uncle Fu glanced at the young master’s condition through the rearview mirror and spoke gently, ”It seems today’s meeting wasn’t easy for you, Young Master.”

”It was more than just ’not easy’...” Su Bai closed his eyes and raised a hand to rub his temples, his voice filled with world-weary complaints.

”Technical difficulties of mobile porting, project evaluations for new games, skin sales strategies for existing games, the annual planning framework for esports events... plus a heap of operational data and analysis reports. Uncle Lin and his subordinates, eyes gleaming, asking one question after another. My head... feels like it’s going to split open.”

His current state was completely different from the usual lazy youth who couldn’t be bothered with anything; he was more like a cat forcibly dragged out of its comfort zone, its battery completely drained after overexertion.

Sitting to the side, Lin Wan had been quietly observing Su Bai out of the corner of her eye. Seeing him get in the car, a small spark of expectation rose in her heart—surely he would say ’Happy Birthday’ now?

Even if it was just a casual mention.

However, from complaining about the meeting to collapsing in his seat, Su Bai’s entire process was seamless, yet it bypassed those words entirely.

He didn’t even say ’Happy Birthday’... The joy in Lin Wan’s heart felt like it had been pricked, slowly deflating, while a greater confusion arose: But he clearly sent a cake?

He even specially ordered such a thoughtful design... What on earth does this mean?

This contradiction made Su Bai’s thoughts even more unfathomable to her.

”Although you’ve worked hard, Young Master, I have some good news that might ease your mind a bit,” Uncle Fu’s voice sounded at the right moment, carrying a hint of a soothing smile.

He picked up a document envelope from the passenger seat and handed it to the back.

”What is it now? Uncle Fu, just tell me directly. I’ve read more words today than in the past year combined.”

Su Bai weakly took the heavy-looking envelope, lacking even the interest to open it.

How can being a rich second-generation heir be this exhausting?

My original intention was just to play games in peace!

”Hehe,” Uncle Fu chuckled and stopped teasing. While smoothly driving the car into traffic, he spoke clearly.

”It’s a coincidence, but also a case of good deeds being rewarded. Because of the Su Corporation Charity’s sustained and large-scale investment, especially the emphasis on the Orphanage renovation project, it caught the attention and follow-up of relevant departments. The Orphanage we visited last week has been included in the government’s key renovation and upgrade plan, and there are plans to convert it into a nine-year consistent public school.”

”Oh? That’s good news.” Su Bai forced himself to perk up a bit; this was indeed a positive social effect brought about by his charity work.

”And then?” He vaguely felt that Uncle Fu’s main point was yet to come.

”Coincidentally,” Uncle Fu’s tone carried a hint of emotion at the unpredictability of life and a sense of gratification.

”The abandoned building site we just acquired for our company headquarters and esports arena happens to be right next to that planned new school. Once the news was confirmed, the nature of that land completely changed—it has become a bona fide school district property, one with scarce and high-quality educational resources.”

Su Bai blinked, seemingly not yet fully realizing what this meant.

Through the rearview mirror, Uncle Fu saw the Young Master’s slightly dazed expression. The smile on his face deepened as he revealed the final answer:

”This afternoon, more than one developer has contacted the Su Corporation through emergency channels, expressing strong interest in acquisition. Based on current preliminary valuations and negotiation space, we can make a net profit of at least two billion just from reselling the land.”

Beside him, Lin Wan’s eyes widened slightly in shock at the figure, momentarily forgetting her small disappointment over the birthday wish.

The way she looked at Su Bai’s profile became a few shades more complex.

Su Bai’s hand flipping through the documents stopped. He looked up and said, ”Does that mean I have to find a new place again?”

Su Bai’s focus was clearly different.

Su Bai quickly calculated in his head: he had taken that abandoned site with the intention of converting it into a game company headquarters and an esports arena.

Now that the land had suddenly become a prime school district property, making two billion from a resale was indeed staggering, but wouldn’t his original plan be ruined?

He’d have to find a place all over again; the mere thought gave him a headache.

”Regarding the site for the new company, President Su has already considered that,” Uncle Fu added calmly, as if seeing through his thoughts. ”The last few pages of the file contain preliminary evaluations of several alternative sites personally selected by President Su. The locations and scales all meet your requirements, and the procedures will be pushed forward as quickly as possible.”

Upon hearing this, Su Bai immediately flipped to the end of the document. After scanning a few pages, his furrowed brows relaxed slightly. ”That’s more like it... otherwise, having to go through all that trouble again would be a pain.”

He slumped back into his seat, feeling as if he had dodged a bullet.

Beside him, Lin Wan’s gaze never left Su Bai.

Two billion... another astronomical figure, yet from his mouth, it sounded like he had just solved a minor annoyance.

While she was here obsessing over a birthday wish and the sentiment behind a small cake, he was already working hard on a completely different level, handling affairs measured in the hundreds of millions.

The slight displeasure she had felt earlier from not hearing ’Happy Birthday’ suddenly seemed extremely childish when compared to the massive reality gap.

No wonder he’s been coming to school less and less lately...

Lin Wan thought, so he wasn’t avoiding me; he really is just that busy with so many things.

Even while being so overwhelmed, he still remembered to order a cake for her... even if he didn’t say the blessing in person.

Thinking this way, Lin Wan actually felt a pang of guilt, feeling that she was being inconsiderate, or even... a bit unreasonable.
