I Swapped Bodies With a Female Celebrity - Chapter 53

Qin Lang genuinely didn’t know Xiao Ruolin. The only reason he had glanced at her earlier was simply because…

Amidst a group of middle-aged men, Xiao Ruolin stood out like a single blooming flower among green leaves.

As a man, how could he possibly ignore such a beauty?

But the moment she spoke, Qin Lang realized this gorgeous female CEO’s intentions were far from simple.

She was trying to use the honey trap on him.

“If this were anyone else, they’d probably fall for her charms. But who am I? I’m the man known as the biggest ‘pretty face’ in the entertainment industry! A mere honey trap has no effect on me!”

Qin Lang smirked inwardly.

Still, faced with so many CEOs extending olive branches, he wasn’t sure how to respond.

After all, the antivirus software wasn’t even his creation. If he carelessly handed it over, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?

Qin Lang liked to think of himself as someone who wouldn’t bend for mere profit.

So, for now, he decided to turn them down.

“Gentlemen, my main goal today was just to test the effectiveness of my antivirus software. As for how to proceed… I think I’ll need some time to consider. This isn’t a trivial matter.”

Hearing this, the CEOs understood his stance.

He wasn’t going to make a decision right away—he’d likely discuss it with Professor Zhao or his family later.

After all… this was a deal involving millions.

“Of course, of course! Here’s my card. If you decide, feel free to contact me. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied—Professor Zhao can vouch for my integrity.”

“Qin, here’s my card. Just name your price, and we’ll make it work.”

“Qin Lang, take my card. After graduation, consider joining our company—we value talent like you…”

Soon, Qin Lang’s hands were filled with a stack of business cards, each bearing the title of some high-ranking CEO. The sheer number was almost dizzying.

Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined these elite businessmen would speak to him with such respect.

But Qin Lang knew the truth—they weren’t interested in him. They were after the YunDun Antivirus, after Qin Yunxuan’s skills.

“Qin Lang, you handled that well. Don’t be fooled by their smiles—those guys are wolves in sheep’s clothing. If you’d seemed too eager, they would’ve lowballed you without hesitation.”

Once most of the crowd had dispersed, Professor Zhao chuckled.

Qin Lang blinked. “Ghost—ahem—Professor Zhao, how much do you think this antivirus software is actually worth?”

“Hard to say for sure, but based on today’s performance… at least this much.”

He held up seven fingers.

“Seventy thousand?” Qin Lang’s breath hitched.

Qin Yunxuan had only been here for five days, and she could already earn *70,000*?

Technology really is the ultimate productivity booster.

“Seventy thousand? Seven figures!” Professor Zhao scoffed. “You think we’d be this cautious over pocket change?”

Seven figures?

Qin Lang counted on his fingers—

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands… millions.

Seven digits meant millions.

His head spun. This single antivirus program could sell for over a million?

Having never seen that kind of money before, Qin Lang felt lightheaded. He’d never been this close to becoming a millionaire!

For a second, he almost turned back to chase after the CEOs.

But he held himself back.

Right now, I’m the hot commodity. No need to rush.

Once that realization sank in, he relaxed.

Still, a nagging discomfort lingered.

Money isn’t really yours until it’s in your pocket.

If he had that million, he’d splurge—

First, he’d…

Then he remembered Yunjing City’s housing prices.

Instantly, his excitement deflated.

That’s not even enough for a down payment.

With his enthusiasm thoroughly crushed, he re-entered monk mode.

“Whatever. It’s Qin Yunxuan’s money anyway. No point getting greedy.”

…..

Professor Zhao had to leave early but reminded Qin Lang:

The hacking competition would end in two days, and the antivirus defense was just one segment.

“If nothing goes wrong, your software will likely win first place. You’ll need to come back to accept the award, and those CEOs will probably swarm you again.”

Qin Lang sighed helplessly.

This wasn’t even my work. Being treated like a genius is way too much pressure.

The competition had also drawn many university students as spectators.

“Xixi, just relax and have fun today. Don’t dwell on the bad stuff, okay?”

A group of girls chatted together, with Chen Xiyuan—the girl at the center of Qin Lang’s earlier scandal—among them.

Chen Xiyuan wasn’t a computer science major; she studied finance. She’d only been dragged here by her roommates. She knew nothing about tech.

“Let’s go to Sunny Desserts later! I heard their sweets are amazing!”

“Yeah, we barely get out. Let’s enjoy ourselves!”

As they talked, one girl suddenly pointed ahead.

“Xixi, isn’t that Qin Lang?”

They looked over and saw Qin Lang strolling leisurely in the distance.

“It’s him! Him!” Chen Xiyuan gritted her teeth at the sight of his profile.

If not for him, she wouldn’t have been misunderstood by the entire school!

Even her roommates now doubted her relationship with him!

“Seek and you shall find! Let’s corner him—he won’t get away this time!”

But just as they prepared to move—

A red supercar pulled up beside Qin Lang.

Behind the wheel sat a stunning, elegant woman.

After a brief exchange, Qin Lang got into the passenger seat, and the car vanished in seconds.

“W-What just happened?”

“Qin Lang got into a supercar? No wonder he dumped you—he’s got a sugar mommy!”

“What a scumbag! Xixi, don’t cry. With your looks, you can have any guy!”

Chen Xiyuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She’d long given up explaining her non-relationship with Qin Lang.

But watching him drive off in a luxury car…

After causing me so much trouble, he’s living it up?

This is so… infuriating!
