Chapter 53: Meeting The Director

During dinner time, Yan Xi sat beside Gu Shen.
She forked up a piece of meat and placed it in Gu Shen’s bowl. Seeing that he was looking at her, she took the initiative to say, “Hubby, I invested in a drama.”
“Oh, ok.”
“10 million.” She looked at Gu Shen’s face and said carefully, “Five million was taken from your card.”
Gu Shen glanced at her again but did not object. “Mm, ok.”
Yan Xi revealed a puzzled expression. She moved closer to Gu Shen. “Aren’t you worried? What if my money goes down the drain? Or are you going to blame me for spending lavishly?”
Gu Shen did not understand why she would react so strongly. It was just ten million yuan. It was not a big deal even if she lost it all. He was not so petty.
He thought for a while. “If you screw it up, you can take it as a lesson.”
Yan Xi rested her head on her hand and looked speechless. The big shot’s attitude and outlook on money were indeed different from hers.
Soon, Yan Xi adjusted herself and carefully said to Gu Shen, “Half of this 10 million is from your card, and the other half is from the fund I bought. I can’t return it to you for now, but when I get rich, I’ll definitely pay it back to you! Really! When the time comes, I’ll buy you whatever you want!”
Whatever he wanted?
The profits from that drama were insignificant to him.
Gu Shen wiped the corner of his mouth and deliberately said, “That’s great. I’ll wait and see how much it will generate.”
…
On Wednesday, Yan Xi got up on time. After breakfast, the driver drove her to the Anxi Road Cafe.
Zhang Ning arrived at the cafe two hours earlier. Under the reflection of the glass, he adjusted the tie on his chest again and smoothed the slight creases on his clothes.
Today, he felt more nervous than the day he got married.
Zhang Ning rubbed his palms and looked around anxiously.
It had to be said that he was very curious about this investor. The investor sounded young and beautiful, and her personality was frank and amiable. She was the ideal Party A that he had been looking for.
Zhang Ning could not help but wonder if the investor was a domineering executive of a company or a billionaire woman who owned millions of assets.
With that in mind, his gaze landed on a girl wearing a simple white shirt and a ponytail. Soon, his phone rang.
Zhang Ning picked it up slowly, only to find that the girl was also having her phone on her ear.
“I’m already in the cafe. Where are you?” Yan Xi said. Suddenly, her gaze landed on him. She smiled, revealing her dimples. “I see you!”
Yan Xi walked to Zhang Ning, sat down, and reached out her slender hand.
“Hello, I’m Yan Xi, your investor.”
Zhang Ning’s phone almost fell to the ground. He quickly stood up and shook Yan Xi’s hand.
“I’m Zhang Ning. Nice to meet you.”
The next second, he asked the stupidest question in his life.
“Are you… an adult?”
Yan Xi asked rhetorically, “What do you think?”
Zhang Ning wiped the sweat off his palm. “Sh… Should be an adult.”
“Don’t worry, I’m already past the age of a child worker.”
Zhang Ning chuckled. “Well, that’s good.”
Yan Xi took out her bank card from her bag and handed it to Zhang Ning.
“There’s ten million in the card. We’ll see if it’s enough. If you don’t have any objections, we can sign the contract now.”
“Yes, there is…” Zhang Ning had never expected to see someone so straightforward. He was so scared that he couldn’t speak. “There’s a project document. Do you want to see it?”
“Sure.”
Yan Xi roughly read the project document and was satisfied. “No problem. We can sign the contract now, but I also have two requests.”
“Please go ahead..” Zhang Ning would promise her even two hundred requests.
