Chapter 100: Everything is the Best Arrangement

“I didn’t order it.”

The girl tilted her head, her voice a bit slow, both silly and gentle.

Lin Miaomiao walked over, speechless, and poked her head. “You silly goose, your boyfriend must have ordered it for you.”

“He was called out, wasn’t he?”

“So he must have ordered it for you while he was busy. I’m so touched.” Lin Miaomiao felt like a lemon.

Other people’s boyfriends even remember to order their girlfriends a cup of ginger tea with brown sugar while they’re on their way to discuss important matters with the school leaders.

Her boyfriend was great in every way, except he was a paper person.

Liang Zhirou finally realized, said thank you, and carefully took the cup, gently closing the door.

Then, she subconsciously took a look at the receipt, pursed her lips, as if she felt a little bit of pain.

“You’re going too far, you’re actually feeling sorry for your boyfriend’s money!”

“You guys are trying to kill me!”

Lin Miaomiao couldn’t stand it anymore, she really wanted to drag these two people to be drowned in a pig cage.

Liang Zhirou was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and quietly returned to her seat, afraid of being noticed.

Although everyone in the studio had already focused their attention on her.

She sat in the chair, looking at the small bowl in front of her, silent for a long time.

It seemed that even if she just mentioned it casually, Chen Lu would remember.

When she said she wanted to eat ice cream in the morning, it was already noon when she had lunch, but Chen Lu still remembered, and even went out of his way to buy her ice cream in the hot weather.

She said she didn’t think much about it during her period, but Chen Lu remembered, and even thought about her things before going to do something that seemed so important.

So this is what it feels like to be cared about…

Liang Zhirou smiled faintly and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, wiping away the tears.

……

“Invest in us?” Chen Lu was a little surprised.

The man next to him, who had seemed relaxed and carefree, was also shocked when he heard this.

Jiang Chao just wanted to say “Damn” in his heart. Although his family was well-off, this money wasn’t something he could just take out.

He still didn’t understand how Chen Lu, or this studio, had gained the favor of the aunt in front of him.

Although he always thought his brother was pretty amazing, it shouldn’t be to the point where someone would directly invest this level of capital, right?

“Starting from 100,000,” this phrase was really ambiguous.

Yu Chunlan’s expression remained calm, she was just surprised by Chen Lu’s composure.

This was just a young man in his early twenties. As an investor, she had seen too many people who were just starting out or who had already achieved success. She had only seen this young man’s style of conduct in a very small number of people.

No matter what was going on in his mind, at least his reaction was up to par.

Thinking about this, she slightly increased the investment amount for this studio.

As long as she could be the controlling shareholder in the future, and put in a manager, the investment amount could be doubled or tripled on the basis of 100,000, which was completely negotiable.

Finally, under her scrutinizing gaze, Chen Lu smiled and slowly spoke, “Thank you for your kindness, but we don’t need it for now.”

“Huh?” Yu Chunlan turned to look at him, a slight smile on her lips, “You don’t need it?”

Chen Lu nodded politely, jokingly said, “Our operating costs are very low, and our investment for a long time in the future will be within our control, we don’t need that much money for now.”

“But you never know, maybe someday I’ll go and beg you to invest.”

Yu Chunlan recalled the number of people she had seen in the studio, the smile on her lips grew even more intense, she also guessed that Chen Lu’s words were half true and half false.

It was probably true that the investment was within their control, but as for the low operating costs…that was debatable.

This young man was ambitious, interesting.

“Alright.” Yu Chunlan didn’t feel embarrassed, after all, Chen Lu had already said it very tactfully.

Besides, investment was something that required mutual negotiation, let alone she had her own thoughts.

Some people were willing to give up some autonomy for development, while others wouldn’t.

“It seems you’ve planned it all out.” Yu Chunlan sincerely praised him.

Then she slowly stood up, “I won’t say more, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.”

This was just a blessing for Chen Lu, after all, a small studio wasn’t qualified to talk about cooperation.

“I’ll try my best.” Chen Lu smiled at her.

He watched the woman’s departing figure, unconsciously feeling relieved.

He felt like this person was like a snake, spitting out its tongue, constantly sizing him up.

……

“Mom, you made me wait for ten minutes.”

Outside the door, a girl with a ponytail pouted and complained.

Yu Chunlan patted her head, “I met a student.”

The girl still remembered what her mother said on WeChat, “Is it that Chen Lu? I’ve actually heard of him.”

“Yes, I was planning to invest a little bit.”

“Do you think his studio has a lot of potential?” The girl was curious.

“A studio formed by a group of college students, to be honest, it’s one in a million to survive the cutthroat competition.” Yu Chunlan said expressionlessly, “At least I haven’t seen it with my own eyes.”

“Then why do you still want to invest in him?”

Yu Chunlan’s expression became very serious, “I’m not investing in the studio, I’m investing in the person.”

Even if the studio was gone, this kind of person could still climb back up.

She forcefully flicked her daughter’s forehead, “Stop chasing stars so much, you still have a lot to learn.”

The girl rubbed her head, curiously looking towards the office.

College students doing this, it’s really interesting.

……

After being dragged by the school leaders for a few more words of pleasantries, Chen Lu and Jiang Chao slowly walked out of the office.

“Damn, that’s a lot of money! Why didn’t we take it?” Jiang Chao leaned over to Chen Lu, asking with both curiosity and heartache.

Chen Lu sighed helplessly, slowly explaining:

“First, we actually have enough funds now. It’s good to have ample funds when you’re just starting out, but too much is not necessarily a good thing.

We may not have the ability to operate that scale, too much money can make you complacent, and you’ll fall harder if you stumble.”

Then he smiled, “Secondly…this is my son’s dream.

The power is always in my hands, when we become successful in the future, we can do what we want to do.

If it’s not in my hands, in the short term, we won’t have to worry about money, but you won’t have the chance to realize your dream again.”

Jiang Chao froze in place, for a moment he even forgot to walk, he only felt his nose getting sore.

He suddenly felt that being forced by his father to change his major wasn’t so bad after all.

A few seconds later, he shouted and chased after him.

“Wait for your dad!”
