Chapter 371 The Biggest Obstacle

Jiang Yichen took a sip of tea, glanced at me vaguely, and said with a barely perceptible coldness: "You come back so late, is the dinner party more important than going home?"

I tiptoed up to him, with a sly smile on my face: "No way, this time we are talking about a big deal."

"What big business could be more important than going home?" His voice was still low, but his eyes had softened a little.

I snuggled into his arms and said in a coquettish tone, "I'm just a little late, but I didn't say I wouldn't come back." After saying that, I gently poked his chest with my fingertips.

He sighed helplessly and reached out to touch my nose: "Xiao Huai has already fallen asleep, you really know how to pick a time."

I looked up at him, with some fatigue in my eyes, but still smiling: "Yes, it's so late, it's time to go to bed." After saying that, I leaned softly in his arms.

At this moment, I can feel his heartbeat.

He picked me up and gently placed me on the bed. His eyes were so deep that they made my heart beat faster: "Tonight..."

"What's wrong tonight?" I looked at him innocently, but my fingers unconsciously clenched his hand and my heart beat as fast as a drum.

"Sleep up late tonight." As soon as his low voice fell, he leaned over and kissed me, and his warm breath instantly enveloped me.

This night was filled with love and tossing until very late, yet I slept very soundly.

The next day, when I woke up early in the morning, Jiang Yichen was still sleeping soundly next to me.

"Jiang Yichen, Jiang Yichen? Wake up." I pulled Jiang Yichen, and he looked at me sleepily, "What's wrong, honey? I'm so tired. Let me rest for a while."

I looked at him blankly. It was almost nine o'clock and I would be late for work. I had important things to do today.

"Well? Since you can't get up, I'll get up first." I grabbed the quilt and was about to get up.

"Okay, then go home early tonight."

He looked at me reluctantly.

This guy didn’t seem very tired last night.

I combed my hair twice, washed myself casually, and went to the studio.

"Morning, Sister Gu." Xiao Tiantian looked at me thoughtfully, "Why do you look so sweet today?"

What? What is Xiao Tiantian thinking about writing?

I tapped Xiao Tiantian's head and went to my office to deal with the cooperation with the Song Group.

I sat in my slightly small studio, looking at my desk piled with documents, my heart filled with anxiety.

The road to entrepreneurship is much harder than I imagined. The lack of funds is like a heavy boulder that weighs on my shoulders. Although the studio has become well-known in the industry and has won the favor of some customers with its high-quality creativity and services, it is urgent to inject funds if it wants to grow further.

I looked down at the financial statements in my hand, and the numbers were still glaring. Although the studio's cash flow was barely enough to maintain daily operations, it was far from enough to expand the business, recruit more outstanding talents, or even develop new projects.

I sighed and rubbed my temples. Various financing plans kept emerging in my mind, but they were shattered by reality one by one.

Just when I was worried about financing, Song Yang found me.

As always, he was dressed in a well-tailored suit and had a confident smile on his face.

"Ms. Gu, I heard that you are worried about the company's financing issues recently?" Song Yang said straight to the point.

I was slightly stunned, wondering in my heart how he was so well-informed, but I still nodded and responded frankly: "Yes, Mr. Song, the funding issue is indeed the biggest obstacle at the moment."

Song Yang's eyes flashed with an imperceptible look, and then he said: "I have a way that may help you solve this problem. I know a Swiss private banker who has a unique vision in the investment field and has a lot of money. I can introduce you to him. If your project can impress him, there will be hope for financing."

I was pleasantly surprised, but he also wanted to win me over last time. Song Yang's proposal did sound tempting, but there is no free lunch in the world, especially in the business world.

I asked in confusion: "Song Yang, why do you want to help me? There must be other conditions."

Song Yang smiled, leaned back on the sofa, and crossed his hands on his chest: "Ms. Gu is really smart. My conditions are very simple. As you know, the Song Group has always wanted to expand its business. You have extensive connections in the industry, and your studio has accumulated a lot of high-quality connections. I hope you can use these connections to build bridges for the Song Group's business expansion in the Asia-Pacific region. Let's exchange connections."

"Exchange? That sounds nice." I didn't say what was in my mind, but I complained about it eight hundred times in my heart.

On the one hand, the investment from Swiss private bankers can help my studio turn around and achieve a qualitative leap.

On the other hand, although it would take a certain amount of energy to act as a matchmaker for the Song Group, it would also be an opportunity to establish closer ties with industry giants, which might also be beneficial to the future development of the studio.

However, I also know that working with the Song Group is not easy.

Although Song Yang is young, he is extremely shrewd and every step he takes is carefully calculated.

If I agreed to his terms, the future might be more complicated. But right now, I don't seem to have a better choice.

I raised my head and looked at Song Yang firmly: "I can consider your proposal. However, we still need to discuss the specific details of the cooperation."

Song Yang nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Of course, cooperation is a two-way process, and the details must be discussed clearly. However, I believe that with Miss Gu's ability, she will definitely bring a win-win situation for both of us."

"It must be a win-win situation! Haha."

In the next few hours, we discussed the details of the cooperation in detail. Song Yang said that he would arrange for me to meet with the Swiss banker in the near future, and I would also need to provide necessary support for the Song Group's business expansion in the next few months.

We discussed specific projects, timelines, and even possible future distribution of benefits.

After the conversation, Song Yang stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he reminded me: "Ms. Gu, this opportunity is rare. I hope you can seize it."
