During the process, I unexpectedly received a call from Jian Zihan... In our previous conversation, she had firmly rejected my request to invest.

I asked her, "Is something the matter?"

"I'd like to talk to you about investing..."

"What's the meaning?"

“I’ve changed my mind. I want to get involved in what you’re doing now… and take back what I said to you before.”

I was even more surprised, so much so that after a moment of silence, I said to her, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"If I can make some money and take another step forward on the road to success, why wouldn't I do it?"

After a brief pause, Jian Zihan continued, "You previously asked for a 4 million investment, but I can now add another 3 million so you can buy more shops..."

Instead of revealing the truth, I asked her, "I have a question: under whose name are those shops that were taken back registered?"

"It will be registered under your studio's name... but we need to have a contract between us that clearly states these shops are for investment purposes, and the profits will be split 40/60 between me and you..."

I laughed: "You four, us six?... That doesn't fit your personality... I think when it comes to doing business, you're the kind of person who sucks the blood dry and then skins the tree dry... Whose money is this anyway?... You don't even mind putting the property rights under our studio's name."

Jian Zihan paused for a moment, then replied, "Do you think it's abrupt for me to tell you all this?... Or do you not think I'm someone you can cooperate with at all? Then why did you call me before to discuss cooperation?"

"Answer my question first."

Jian Zihan seemed to light a cigarette for herself before replying, "That's easy to understand. I rejected you before because I'm a very rational person... I don't like this kind of business; I'm calling you now because I've been thinking about some conversations with Ye Zi... Every word she said revealed her longing for your well-being... I'm her best friend, and given the ability, I want to do my best to fulfill her wishes... If she were still alive, these things wouldn't even be my responsibility, but the more I realize this, the more I want to do something for you... This is what you often refer to as a favor, isn't it?"
