185 Why Did You Become Smaller?
Wang Heng finally found the best way to tutor his roommate.
“I’ve discovered now that you were completely delayed by the textbooks issued by the school. The biggest difference between university and high school is that teachers won’t teach you hand-in-hand; you have to rely more on self-study. But our school’s Linear Algebra textbook is too verbose at the beginning, so it’s indeed not easy to understand. But it’s okay now. Here’s this book for you. Read it carefully first, and come to me if you have any questions.”
As he spoke, Wang Heng placed a book titled Linear Algebra Should Be Learned Like This on Fu Hanwen’s desk.
Fu Hanwen picked up the book and looked at it. “Is it a translated textbook? Looking at the title, it feels a bit unprofessional.”
Wang Heng shrugged. “But the content is reliable, that’s enough. The key is that it’s written in a simple and easy-to-understand way.”
Fu Hanwen was still a little hesitant. “But the teacher said that textbooks should be read in the original version, and translated versions are not very good…”
Wang Heng sneered. “Are you sure you want to read the original English version?”
“…Fine, I’ll start studying again.” Fu Hanwen opened the textbook.
Wang Heng took out his phone and glanced at it. “There are still nearly 40 hours before the make-up exam starts.”
Fu Hanwen slammed the book shut and said angrily, “Can you not mention such cruel things!”
Wang Heng: “But it’s a fact.”
Fu Hanwen covered his face with both hands and was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he asked in a low voice, “If I fail the make-up exam, do I have to retake the course?”
Wang Heng: “Isn’t that nonsense?”
Fu Hanwen: “…Forget it, study.”
Wang Heng walked to the dormitory door and was about to open it and leave, but suddenly remembered a question.
He turned back and asked, “The new season has been going on for a while. What’s your rank now?”
“Don’t mention the new season to me!” In a rage, Fu Hanwen almost snapped the pen in his hand. “If it weren’t for the new season, I should have finished reviewing Linear Algebra long ago!”
Wang Heng nodded. “It seems your record in the new season is good.”
Fu Hanwen: “Go on a date with a girl, don’t disturb my study!”
Wang Heng smiled, stopped disturbing his roommate, and opened the door.
But at this moment, Fu Hanwen asked again, “How much did this book cost you?”
“Bought it online, thirty yuan. If you have cash, put it on my desk.”
With that, Wang Heng went out. But before he took two steps, Fu Hanwen had another question.
He asked hesitantly, “Teacher Wang, are you really going to see a girl?”
Wang Heng: “Yes.”
Fu Hanwen: “…”
Wang Heng: “Study hard, I won’t disturb you.”
Fu Hanwen: “…”

In the coffee shop outside the school gate, Wang Heng met Pei Ningle and Han Yixuan. The reason for meeting these two girls today was to sign a new contract.
After sitting down opposite them, Wang Heng went straight to the point, took out two copies of the contract he had printed, and handed them to them.
At this moment, the waiter came over and asked, “What would you like to order?”
Wang Heng: “Give me a cappuccino.”
Han Yixuan glanced at him and said calmly, “Cappuccino.”
Pei Ningle thought for a moment. “Same for me.”
The young waitress turned and walked away, pondering secretly—she had seen this male customer many times, and often with another pretty girl, but today his female companions had changed to new faces, and there were two of them—what exactly did this guy do?
As for the two girls opposite Wang Heng, they were reading the contract seriously.
Han Yixuan was really reading it, studying every line word by word. Of course, she didn’t think Wang Heng would dig a pit in the contract, but since she was his assistant, it was only natural to study the contract carefully. If she couldn’t even understand such a simple contract, what about the future? When Wang Heng wanted to sign more professional contracts with strangers, how could she help?
The first contract placed in front of her made Han Yixuan secretly excited. You know, although this was just a small step in her career, it was a big step in the progress of their relationship.
And Pei Ningle was not interested in the contract. But looking at Han Yixuan’s solemn appearance beside her, she felt that if she wasn’t serious enough, it seemed… a bit unreasonable?
The problem was, these rigid words were really boring!
More than ten minutes later, three cups of cappuccino were served.
Han Yixuan didn’t touch the cup at all and continued to concentrate on reading the contract.
Pei Ningle silently took a sip of coffee, looked at Wang Heng who was looking down at his phone, then looked at Han Yixuan beside her, picked up the contract again, and pretended to be reading seriously—she was very familiar with this state in high school, which was pretending to be diligent while letting her mind wander. Guaranteed that even experienced teachers would only think she was studying seriously.
Another ten minutes passed, and Pei Ningle finally couldn’t help but yawn. Looking up, she found that Wang Heng was staring at her, with a faint smile in his eyes.
That look seemed to say—‘Stop acting, I know you can’t read the contract’.
The guilty girl quietly looked away and looked at her best friend beside her.
At this moment, Han Yixuan finally finished reading the contract and praised, “Very rigorous and professional. The rights and obligations of the artist and the manager are clearly defined in the contract, and it is also very reasonable. Boss Wang, impressive!”
Wang Heng smiled. “Professionalism is a given, after all, it’s a template.”
Han Yixuan was stunned. “…Template?”
Wang Heng: “Yeah, I found a template online, modified it for ten minutes, and then printed it out. The time you spent reading the contract is longer than the time I spent downloading, modifying, and printing it combined.”
Han Yixuan pressed her forehead, suddenly feeling an inexplicable headache. The review process she thought was professional just now must have looked ridiculous in his eyes, right?
At this moment, Wang Heng added, “To be honest, Assistant Han is really good. So serious and responsible, I can rest assured leaving many things to you in the future.”
Hearing him say this, Han Yixuan instantly stopped having a headache and became much happier. However, there was a problem in the contract that she still felt necessary to discuss.
So the girl said again, “But the share you give me is a bit too much, right? 60% of Little Le’s work release and performance income is her own, and we split the remaining 40% equally. But you are the manager, and I am the manager’s assistant. Is it appropriate to split it equally with you?”
Wang Heng spread his hands. “To be honest, because I have a lot of things to do in the future, such as investment. The time and energy I can put here will definitely be very limited, so I’m embarrassed to take too much…”
At this point, Pei Ningle finally reacted and exclaimed, “Didn’t we agree on fifty-fifty? Why did you become smaller!”
Wang Heng: “Keep your voice down!”
Not far away, the young waitress looked over, her face full of suspicion—Became smaller? How did it become smaller?
