"What's wrong?" Chen Lu asked curiously.
Seeing that the girl was hanging her head and not responding, he asked again, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
After two seconds, the girl finally stammered, "I want you to hold me."
"Then why don't you just hug me?"
Liang Zhirou turned her face away, embarrassed to look at him, "A girl...a girl should be reserved..."
She was still regretting her actions. The cold wind blew against her burning cheeks, and she felt that she had gone too far.
Chen Lu curled the corners of his lips. "Has anyone ever told you that you're especially cute?"
"You praised me before."
"Then I'll praise you again."
Chen Lu stood behind Liang Zhirou, put his arm around her slender waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and gently kissed the girl's neck.
Two figures stood close together on the riverbank.
"You were able to come back early, does that mean things went smoothly on your end?" Liang Zhirou asked softly. Although she didn't understand, she was still quite worried, after all, she didn't want to see Chen Lu looking so gloomy again.
"It's a done deal. I practically dragged them to sign the contract today," Chen Lu explained unhurriedly. "They invested ten million in funding and technical support, taking a 20% stake. I'll keep the remaining 51% and Jiang Chao will keep the 29%. With an outsider involved, we can't continue to split it equally; someone has to have absolute control."
Frankly speaking, considering the company's current prospects, taking 20% of the shares for ten million is practically robbery, a highly profitable deal. However, in Chen Lu's eyes, negotiating this cooperation while ensuring the company's independence is not a loss at all.
The scope for this technical support is enormous; Chen Lu has plenty of ways to make more money. Ten million is just the price for the equity; they can negotiate for more later. As long as the company's prospects are demonstrated, future investments can be considered separately.
Moreover, setting aside other stereotypes, Tencent has always been a typical example of investing with plenty of money and little concern, because it doesn't care about trivial matters and only looks at money.
With this new support, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we're unstoppable for now.
Of course, all of this is based on one premise: that you can actually bring benefits.
As long as there's money to be made, we're all good brothers.
"Your company is getting bigger and bigger, will you be very busy in the future?" Liang Zhirou really felt that her boyfriend was going to become an exceptionally capable person. She felt that if she didn't know him, Chen Lu would be someone she couldn't even dream of reaching.
But that's just a hypothetical. She knew that no matter how high Chen Lu stood, he would still like her.
This seed of self-confidence was planted in her heart by Chen Lu through his repeated actions. Although it has not yet blossomed and borne fruit, it has already sprouted.
“I will try my best not to be too busy,” Chen Lu replied earnestly. “If I lose my focus, you can just lock me in the house.”
"No way. If you're busy, I'll run to see you!" The evening breeze ruffled the girl's long, flowing hair, but she still looked stunning. Under Chen Lu's gaze, the girl calmly looked at the river and slowly spoke:
"You know, before I met you, I always fantasized that we might be able to see the same cloud."
I never imagined that what you see is what I see...
Thank you for stumbling into my life that day.
With a faint smile, she took a deep breath and decided to say what she had never had the courage to say in person:
"Chen Lu, I love you."
I love it so much.
