Song Luokui said she would get right to it. She first made a copy of the investment analysis and took it with her, then proceeded to research.
Before the start of the semester, she finally put together a proposal, and then asked Song Luosheng to take a look at it.
Song Luosheng looked at her proposal, made some revisions, but was still pleasantly surprised. "Well done! I didn't expect my little Kukui to have this talent. If you can make it big, your brother will increase his investment in you."
Song Luokui shook her head. "Slowly but surely. Making it big takes time, and by then you might not even need to invest."
Song Luosheng: "True, maybe many companies will be vying to invest in you."
Song Luokui: "Brother, help me acquire that company first. I'll transfer the money to you. If it's not enough, I'll consider it a loan from you." Song Luokui walked around behind Song Luosheng and gave him a shoulder massage.
Song Luosheng enjoyed it, squinting his eyes. "No need to be so polite about that little sum. Your brother will help you get things done. Keep your pocket money."
Song Luokui leaned her head closer. "No, it's my money, so it will be my company."
Song Luosheng waved his hand dismissively. "Okay, okay!" At worst, he would just give his little Kukui more pocket money later. Giving her 100 million a day would add up to 3 billion in a month. Not bad at all!
Song Luokui: "Oh, and help me hire a manager too."
Song Luosheng: "Sure thing! How about Zhou Yuan to help you out?"
Song Luokui: "Zhou Yuan would be overqualified for that role. Just get someone ordinary. I have to go to school tomorrow. It seems like there will be a lot going on with the start of the semester, so I won't be coming home for a few days. Let me know once everything is ready."
"Got it."
As soon as Song Hua made a move, Shan Yu's side caught wind of it.
Shan Yu Group had actually analyzed the acquisition and investment in Tian Yu Company as well. It was clear to them, just like Song Hua, that there was no value in acquiring it. In their view, it was simply a case of Song Hua having too much money to spend, even though the entertainment industry was very profitable. But it wasn't that easy to get a share of it.
Of course, someone did receive inside information: "It's not Song Hua making the acquisition. Word is, it's a toy Song's sister fancied, so the Chairman is giving it to her."
As soon as those words were uttered, Chi Yu, seated in the middle, immediately looked up. "Really?"
The person, seeing the boss inquiring about it, quickly explained, "My nephew's girlfriend's brother works in one of Song Hua's departments. He said the Chairman's sister took a liking to that company and wanted to play with it."
Chi Yu's gaze returned, and he immediately took out his phone to send a message to someone: "Starting a company to play with? Want me to invest in you?"
The chat interface was still showing their conversation from the Spring Festival, when Chi Yu invited Song Luokui out to eat and she declined.
Mainly because Song Luokui felt that Chi Yu's intentions seemed a bit too obvious, so she thought it would be better if they didn't meet for the time being.
Song Luokui was in class at the moment. She glanced at the teacher, then picked up her phone under the desk and replied: "No need."
Chi Yu: "I can invest in you privately, without your brother knowing."
Song Luokui: "I don't even let my brother invest in me, so I definitely won't let you either."
Chi Yu: "Let me know if you need anything. Want to have dinner together tonight? There's a new restaurant that's supposed to be good."
Song Luokui: "No."
Chi Yu: "That's three 'no's from you."
Song Luokui realized her tone might have been a bit too abrasive. "Sorry, I've just been..."
She was still typing when Chi Yu sent over a sticker - two little mushroom people, one hitting the other. The one being hit had the name "Chi Yu" written on it, while the hitter was labelled "Song Luokui."
Chi Yu: "If you're in a bad mood, you can take it out on me."
Then he sent a red envelope with 88,888 in it. "Or maybe some dessert would help."
A moment later, he took a screenshot of a strawberry cake from a dessert shop. "How about this one? The reviews say it's really good. I can order it for you. Are you at school?"
Song Luokui deleted what she was going to say earlier, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly as she looked at the little mushroom person getting hit. "...Thank you, but let's have dinner together instead. I don't need the dessert - I'm in class, so it's not convenient. I'll return the money to you."
Chi Yu: "Consider it a friendly celebration of your upcoming entrepreneurial endeavors."
Song Luokui: "Okay, I'll pay for dinner then."
Chi Yu: "Sounds good, how generous of the boss."
Song Luokui: "Speak properly. This is unlike you." If others knew the arrogant, dignified persona he put on was just an act when chatting with her, their jaws would drop.
Chi Yu: "Oh. Should I pick you up later then?"
Song Luokui: "No need. Send me the address of the new restaurant, and I'll make the reservation."
Chi Yu: "Sure."
With that matter settled, Chi Yu smiled too. The person giving him a briefing felt relieved, thinking the boss must be pleased with the results from their side.
As soon as class ended, Song Luokui got into the car and told Uncle An, "Let's go to Wei Jin Fang in Shuijing Hutong."
Song Luokui was still on her way when Chi Yu suddenly had something come up. "Sorry, I might be half an hour late."
Song Luokui: "No problem, I'll wait for you." She had brought her proposal anyway, so she could study up – she was going to be a future tycoon after all.
She arrived at Shuijing Hutong soon after and entered the restaurant, only to run into Wei Qing coming out of a private room.
Song Luokui immediately turned to leave, but Wei Qing had already noticed her and quickly strode over, grabbing her arm. "Little Sister Kukui, why are you running away when you see me?"
Song Luokui struggled to break free from his grip and moved aside. "Sorry, I don't know you."
Wei Qing didn't seem bothered. "I'm an old schoolmate and friend of your brother's. We met at the last reunion. My name is Wei Qing."
Song Luokui kept her head down. "I don't remember. Sorry, I have someone waiting for me, so please excuse me."
Wei Qing: "Who are you meeting? Big Brother Wei Qing can join you, and I'll pay for it."
"No need." Song Luokui tried to walk around him into the restaurant, but he blocked her path again.
Wei Qing: "In that case, let's add each other on WeChat so I can invite you out to play sometime when I'm free."
Just as Song Luokui was thinking about how to refuse or whether to accept and then block him later, Chi Yu hurriedly arrived. "Wei Qing, what are you trying to do?"
Chi Yu immediately pulled Song Luokui behind him and turned to look at her. "Did he bother you?"
Song Luokui shook her head.
Chi Yu then faced Wei Qing again.
Wei Qing was quite surprised to see Chi Yu as well. He glanced at Song Luokui. "Little Sister Kukui, you're having dinner with him? Does your brother know?"
Before Song Luokui could respond, Chi Yu answered for her, "I'm just meeting a friend. It has nothing to do with her. Wei Qing, I heard you're still looking to partner with Song Hua to enter the Hua Country market? If I tell Song Luosheng right now that you were harassing his sister, how do you think that would go over?"
Wei Qing's expression immediately darkened as he took out a cigarette and lit it. "Chi Yu, you're just riding on your father's coattails, aren't you? Let's see how arrogant you can be if your father falls from grace."
Chi Yu didn't say anything, simply staring at him. As if Wei Qing wasn't doing the exact same thing by relying on his family's wealth and power!
"Cough, cough, cough!" The smoke caused Song Luokui to suddenly break into a coughing fit.
Wei Qing instantly froze, then quickly put out the cigarette. "Little Sister Kukui can't stand the smoke. Big Brother Wei Qing won't smoke anymore from now on. No need to be afraid of me next time we meet. Big Brother Wei Qing just wants to be friends with you."
Song Luokui remained hidden behind Chi Yu, not saying a word. What was with all this "Big Brother" and "Little Sister" business? Song Luosheng was her only brother.
