Chapter 650 Love-struck Man Becomes World's Richest Man (9)

Mu Xixi's confident assurance did put all her teammates at ease.

When they were alone, Ning Xuan frowned and pulled Mu Xixi aside.

"I'm trying to get some investment from my uncles, but the club needs at least three million a month to operate, so we need a stable investor. However, my uncles aren't very optimistic about the esports industry, so..."

"Then just find a long-term investor! We're the hottest e-sports stars in the country right now, and there are tons of people who want to sign us!"

"Oh, don't worry. We've overcome so many difficulties already, why would we need to worry about something so small?"

The fact that the club was on the verge of dissolution and bankruptcy seemed to be no problem for Mu Xixi at all.

Ning Xuan frowned and nodded slightly.

"Let's give it a try."

"Don't worry, as long as we're together, there's no difficulty in the world we can't overcome!"

However, two days later, Mu Xixi's smile was not as bright as before.

Ning Xuan also kept a straight face, and it was obvious that he had encountered many setbacks in the past two days.

"We've secured over two million yuan in investment in the past few days, enough to sustain our club for a month or two."

Mu Xixi didn't say anything. Judging from her expression, Ning Xuan could roughly guess that she must have been wronged these past two days, so he tenderly pulled her into his arms.

"It's okay, leave this to me. You don't need to worry about anything. I'll definitely handle it."

Mu Xixi pushed him away.

"What's your plan? A club can burn through 30 to 40 million a year. Where are you going to get so much money?"

Even the hottest e-sports stars can't escape the fact that they come from ordinary backgrounds.

Online, Ning Xuan is known as the invincible Ning Shen in the eyes of millions of fans.

In reality, Ning Xuan, who has no way to monetize his fame, is just an ordinary person who is good at playing games.

Mu Xixi didn't look down on him, but at this moment she suddenly felt a little tired.

"Xixi, I plan to do live streaming, play in competitions, and take on endorsements. Even without relying on others, I have the ability to support the club. What are you worried about?"

Or are you planning to ask that person for help?

Upon hearing this, Mu Xixi immediately became agitated and shoved him hard.

"Ning Xuan! What do you take me for?!"

Ning Xuan regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth and immediately hugged Mu Xixi with a heart full of guilt, apologizing repeatedly.

"I was wrong, it was all my fault. I shouldn't have been so petty and jealous. I apologize to you. I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Looking at the spirited man in front of her, who shared the same ideals, Mu Xixi couldn't muster any more anger. After being awkwardly angry for a while, she forgave him.

In the evening, Jin Shu, who had just finished a meeting, turned on her computer, logged into Weibo, and browsed the updates from the bloggers she had been following recently.

The original owner had already followed Mu Xixi's alternate account: "Xixi's Ramblings".

I checked the update time; it was 9:31 PM tonight.

Mu Xixi's update time is very fixed, usually around 9 pm.

This is precisely when Weibo traffic is at its peak, and most importantly, it's the time when Zhang Baiyu gets off work.

As a workaholic, Zhang Baiyu leaves work at 9:30 every day without fail, but the lights in his office building will stay on until the early hours of the morning or even the next morning.

As one of the most competitive industries in society today, Zhang Baiyu embodies a wolf-like culture, and working through the night is a common occurrence for him.

Zhang Baiyu is also very strict with himself; after getting off work at 9:30, he still goes to the gym for two hours.

While jogging at the gym, he habitually opened Weibo and clicked on Mu Xixi's Weibo side account.

The most recent update:

I have something troubling me to tell you, my girlfriends. I've recently encountered a hurdle in my career that's not too big, but not too small either. I haven't slept for three days because of this little thing.

Oh my god, I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown if this isn't resolved soon!

When I'm in a bad mood, I just want to go on a shopping spree. I'll just do it! I'll go shopping first thing tomorrow morning!

Upon seeing this message, Zhang Baiyu felt somewhat uneasy.

The next morning, he immediately arranged to postpone the day's activities and set aside his private schedule.

Just as he was about to leave, his secretary came running over to inform him.

"Boss, the boss's wife is here and is already waiting for you in the office."

The proprietress?

Jin Shu?

How did she end up in his office?

Puzzled and somewhat impatient, Zhang Baiyu turned and went back.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Jin Shu dressed in a white Chanel suit, with exquisite makeup, sitting elegantly in his boss's chair.

This scene immediately made Zhang Baiyu frown in displeasure.

Why are you here?

He's still sitting in his seat!

Jin Shu looked up at him.

"We are husband and wife, and all our property is jointly owned. What's wrong with me sitting in your chair for a moment?"

Zhang Baiyu stared intently at her.

What are you doing here?

“I have an important charity auction that requires both of us to attend. You have to come with me.”

Zhang Baiyu was about to refuse without hesitation, but before he could even open his mouth, Jin Shu said something else.

"Mr. Zai Shangmu Shi's posthumous works are also among the items in this auction."

"Weren't you thinking about what gift to give Mr. Ouyang for his birthday? What do you think of this gift?"

Upon hearing these two names, Zhang Baiyu immediately stopped in his tracks.

He looked at Jin Shu with suspicion and scrutiny in his eyes.

"How did you know...?"

"The news about your third round of financing has already been published, and the target of this financing is none other than those people in the art circle. Mr. Ouyang is the chairman, so if you want to succeed, you must take the initiative to offer your sincerity."

Am I right?

Yes, all of that is true. Just from those few news snippets reported by their company, Jin Shu somehow managed to find out so much about him.

After Jin Shu finished speaking, she picked up her bag, stood up, and walked to Zhang Baiyu.

"There are some things I want at this auction, and I hope you can cooperate."

Zhang Baiyu hesitated for a moment in silence.

Mu Xixi's emotions are important, but that painting is more important to him.

So after a moment's hesitation, he nodded.

"Okay, let's go then."

The two got into the car, and Zhang Baiyu glanced at Jin Shu, once again marveling at her intelligence and perceptiveness.

I only knew she was a born business genius before, but today I realized that she also has such a precise and sophisticated grasp of human nature.

Jin Shu noticed his gaze and turned to look at him.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"Next time something like this happens, you can tell me in advance so I can be prepared."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I've been too busy. I'll have my secretary be more careful next time."
