Ling Zhou was stunned, turned his head to look at Yang Lianxin, sniffed, raised his chin, and was about to speak when a group of classmates surrounded him.
"Your Highness, today is my birthday. There is a party at my villa tonight. Come and have fun."
A girl wearing a beautiful school uniform, with a pretty face and fully grown nipples on her chest, invited with a slightly blushing face.
"Your Highness Zhou..."
A large group of high-ranking classmates were also chattering non-stop in the back. Ling Zhou was overwhelmed. Sometimes he liked to be quiet, sometimes he liked to be noisy, but most of the time he liked to be quiet, just like now...
Just as he was about to bang the table, he saw Chen Yiru coming over.
"Your Highness, we should go back."
Chen Yiru stepped forward and said.
Ling Zhou nodded and said to the girl who invited him to the birthday party with a smile: "Xiao Lanlan! This prince is tired. I wish you a happy birthday first. I won't go to the party tonight. I will have someone send you a gift later. You guys go and have fun."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
A hint of disappointment flashed across the girl's eyes and she nodded.
Ling Zhou raised his chin and said to Yang Lianxin with a smile: "Xiao Xinxin, it's settled! My happy sleep in the future will be left to you."
"Don't worry, Your Highness."
Yang Lianxin blushed and lowered her head.
Ling Zhou laughed and walked out with Chen Yiru.
According to my memory, none of these so-called classmates could be trusted. The reason why they were so enthusiastic was simply because of his princely status. Who knows what they might say about him behind his back.
He has a bad reputation outside. Arrogance and stupidity are his trademarks.
However, because of his generosity and his tendency to spend money everywhere, plus his status, even though he had a bad reputation, there were still countless people vying to flatter and please him.
If it were his previous incarnation, he would have enjoyed it endlessly. But now, he was too lazy to make small talk. He still preferred to enjoy life quietly.
Seeing this, everyone quickly made way.
When Ling Zhou and others walked out of the classroom, everyone looked at each other.
"Strange, why does it feel like His Highness Zhou is different?"
"Yes! Didn't His Highness Zhou always have fun every night? Why did you go home so early today?"
"Alas! Let's go, let's go."
"Why are you dispersing? Let's go. The birthday party is already arranged at my villa." Lanlan said loudly.
"Haha! That's great, Yang, let's go together."
Listening to the invitation from her classmates, Yang Lianxin's face flashed with pride. When she looked at Lan Lan, her eyes flashed with caution and jealousy, and she said, "No, I will make a pillow for Your Highness tonight."
“Oh…”
When everyone heard this, they sighed.
Zhao Lanlan looked at Yang Lianxin meaningfully, then left the classroom with her classmates, laughing.
Watching her classmates leave, Yang Lianxin turned to look at the ordinary-dressed boy in the back row, snorted, and left the classroom with her head raised proudly.
――
Leaving the classroom, Ling Zhou asked, "Sister Yiru, the classmate in the back row of our class, was his family once a wealthy family?"
Chen Yiru was stunned when he heard this, and quickly recalled in his mind, and said: "Your Highness, are you talking about Wang Tian?"
"Is his name Wang Tian?"
Ling Zhou muttered.
"If it was Wang Tian, then his Wang family was indeed a wealthy family a month ago. Unfortunately, Wang Tian was a playboy by nature. He was arrogant and domineering, and he offended someone he couldn't afford to offend, which implicated the Wang family and led to their ruin in just one month. Your Highness, he was your classmate, don't you remember him?"
Chen Yiru looked at Ling Zhou puzzledly and said.
Ling Zhou was stunned, raised his chin and frowned slightly. He had some impression, but not a deep one.
Soon, they arrived at the parking lot.
Just as I was about to get on the bus, I heard a shout.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
Ling Zhou raised his head and turned to look, only to see a 40-year-old European and American man with a slightly fat body and a shrewd look in his eyes running towards him quickly. Before he could get close, he was stopped by the bodyguard. As a prince, he could not be approached by any stranger.
"Hi, Your Highness. I am Ace, Chairman of the Acely Foundation. This is my business card."
Ace bowed and handed over the business card.
The bodyguard took it and handed it to Ling Zhou.
Ling Zhou took it and glanced at it. His eyes flickered. He raised his head and asked impatiently, "What do you want from me?"
"Haha, Your Highness Zhou, I'm here to give you some money. Can we discuss the details?"
Ace laughed and glanced at the bodyguard who was blocking his way.
Ling Zhou yawned and said, "Just stand there and talk."
Ace was stunned. He had heard that His Highness Zhou would be very enthusiastic as long as someone offered him money. Why was he so lukewarm towards him?
He thought for a moment and whispered, "Your Highness Zhou, I heard that you hold 35% of the shares in Blue Star Technology? Our company wants to negotiate with Your Highness to acquire this share. Of course, Your Highness Zhou, rest assured, we will definitely not let Your Highness suffer a loss. We will purchase it at a 10% premium over the closing price of the day."
Ace said with a bit of pain in his heart. You know, when Lingzhou acquired this 35% stake, it was a bargain price! Now not only does it have to be acquired at the closing price, but also at a 10% premium. Just thinking about it makes me feel painful.
But there was no way, the order had come down.
Just when he thought Ling Zhou would agree eagerly, he suddenly saw that Ling Zhou was looking at him as if he was a fool or an idiot.
"Your Highness..."
Ace spoke carefully.
"Do you think this prince is deaf? Or blind? Do you know that you are insulting the Lanling royal family?" Ling Zhou's face tightened and he said loudly.
Ace was stunned, and a trace of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
Insulting the Lanling royal family is a serious crime.
Chen Yiru and others beside him looked slightly surprised.
She was originally worried that Ling Zhou would agree to it. After all, the other party had invested a lot of money, and a 10% premium was not a small amount. According to Ling Zhou's previous personality, he would definitely be eager to agree to it if such a big profit was in front of him.
But at this moment, Ling Zhou's reaction was far beyond her and everyone else's expectations.
Looking at Ling Zhou at this moment, one can actually see a hint of majesty in him.
This, this, this is simply incredible!
"Your Highness, you misunderstood. It must be a misunderstanding."
Ace said anxiously that he was not a citizen of Lanling, but he had a lot of investments in Lanling. If he offended Lingzhou, he would never be able to stay in Lanling again.
At this moment, he felt a little regretful. He regretted being greedy and regretted taking on this task.
He also heard rumors from outside that His Highness Zhou was arrogant, generous, and a little stupid, so he dared to come and try to acquire Blue Star Technology. Could the rumors be wrong?
