Chapter 41 All she needed to do was spend money and have fun.
The set has been built; next is the trial broadcast.
Each operator will follow the broadcast for two hours as a rehearsal to familiarize themselves with the process.
Qian Xu sent a message saying he had arrived, so Ling Yue didn't even stay for work and slipped away immediately.
Supervisor Liao Yifeng wanted to find fault but couldn't find her, feeling extremely annoyed.
Another 15% resentment value contributed.

Office.
"I found it! Can you believe it? She's not a shareholder of Dageng Media; she's just a junior employee in a department."
Since she was a potential partner, Kan Jiashu couldn't skip a background check.
The check made it seem even more ridiculous.
Ordinary university student, ordinary family, ordinary job.
Yet such an ordinary junior employee spent 50 million to buy a large luxury flat in the city center? And came to invest in his 510 million project?
Is it possible?
Xun Ji was also there, lying on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest, indifferent to his friend's outburst.
Suddenly, his vision cleared.
Kan Jiashu had taken his glasses and made a move as if to break them.
"The information might be forged; maybe she doesn't want to show her true identity," Xun Ji sat up helplessly and reached out to Kan Jiashu, signaling for his glasses back.
Kan Jiashu curled his lip and put the glasses on his own face. "Since it's a partnership, identities should be open and transparent. Being so mysterious—I hope there's no conspiracy."
"My small business can't handle trouble. If she's after my old man, I'd be the sinner who let the wolf into the house."
Xun Ji was speechless: "Uncle Kan isn't even involved in this project."
"Who told me to be the old man's son? Maybe they just want to ruin me to make him feel bad."
"Tsk, you narcissist." Xun Ji stood up abruptly, quickly snatched the glasses back from Kan Jiashu's nose, and wiped them on his clothes. "She's bringing a lawyer today. Let's chat first. If there's a problem, we just won't cooperate."
Ling Yue heard everything clearly outside the door.
Qian Xu, standing beside her, coughed twice and whispered a reminder: "According to relevant regulations, the investee can ask the investor to prove the legality of the funds."
"It's not hard. Just get a certificate from the bank. For large transfers, go directly to the branch manager; it can be handled the same day."
The system manual had stated that all income would be rationalized and legalized.
Ling Yue felt there should be no problem; otherwise, her spending of over 300 million recently would have been investigated long ago.
Therefore, she was full of confidence.
Ling Yue knocked and entered the office.
Kan Jiashu and Xun Ji greeted her warmly, showing no trace of their previous wariness.
They were all shrewd.
Ling Yue also acted as if she hadn't heard anything just now and sat down at the tea table with a smile.
"Mr. Kan, I gave the proposal to my lawyer yesterday. He said it's very well-written. I personally have a very strong interest in investing in this project and hope to move forward with an investment assessment," Ling Yue said sincerely.
Kan Jiashu and Xun Ji exchanged a look. The former smiled and said, "Thank you for choosing us, Miss Ling. Currently, our financing has reached 180 million, leaving a gap of 330 million. How much do you plan to invest?"
Ling Yue had already decided, "I plan to invest exactly 300 million."
Whoa!
Even Xun Ji was startled.
Kan Jiashu was even more direct: "Miss Ling, you're not joking with me, are you?"
Ling Yue was slightly burned by her teacup. She quickly withdrew her hand and pinched her ear, laughing. "On your turf? Am I waiting to be thrown out by security?"
Kan Jiashu: "..." True.
This way, the gap was only 30 million.
Kan Jiashu immediately thought of his lake-view villa in the East District, where he hadn't lived for a long time. Mortgaging it to the bank should yield 30 million.
He had a plan but was still puzzled, "If Miss Ling can really invest 300 million, you'll be the largest shareholder. What are your demands for the project's future development?"
This was asking about Ling Yue's expected return on investment.
Ling Yue thought for a moment and said, "To put it bluntly, I hope the project makes money."
"I'm personally optimistic about this project. I hope it can build brand awareness and become the leading high-end nursing home brand in the country, as the proposal says."
She looked at Kan Jiashu seriously, "I know what you're worried about—whether I'll interfere in operations as the majority shareholder."
"I'll be clear: I won't participate in operations or interfere with decisions made by you and other shareholders. I only want the shares; I don't need decision-making power."
Nonsense. Even if she had decision-making power, she wouldn't know what to decide. Professional matters should be left to professionals; she just needed to spend money and enjoy herself.
This made Kan Jiashu even more confused.
As a financial investor without decision-making power, she wouldn't have any impact on the company.
If Ling Yue really had a conspiracy, she should be trying to gain decision-making or voting rights.
Maybe he really was overthinking it, and she just liked his project?
Someone's gaze was too intense for Ling Yue to ignore, "What are you hesitating about, Mr. Kan? You can be direct."
Kan Jiashu paused for a moment and asked with a smile, "Miss Ling, you're not from Hangzhou, are you?"
Ling Yue pointed out, "Mr. Kan wants to ask how a junior employee with an unremarkable background has such a large sum of money."
Kan Jiashu didn't hold back either, saying directly, "I'm sure you've looked into my background, Miss Ling. Since we're partnering, we should get to know each other."
"I don't want to accept money from unknown sources."
"I haven't faked my identity, and the money is absolutely legal. If you don't believe me, I can authorize my lawyer to get a certificate of legal assets from the bank."
Kan Jiashu agreed to Ling Yue's proposal.
Ling Yue signed the power of attorney with Qian Xu on the spot.
Qian Xu was very experienced with this. He found an acquaintance and returned with the asset certificate in less than an hour.
Ling Yue took a peek; the document actually stated it was an inheritance!
The system really had its ways.
Asset certificates cannot be faked. After seeing it, Kan Jiashu's wariness vanished.
"I'm sorry, I was out of line just now," he sincerely apologized to Ling Yue.
Ling Yue crossed her arms and said with a smile, "Actually, I do have a motive."
"?" Kan Jiashu was a bit dazed.
Xun Ji had a faint suspicion.
Ling Yue continued, "Your father is a director of a famous investment company in Hangzhou. I want to enter the investment circle, but I lack fame and connections. I won't get far as an individual investor."
"If there are project financings in the future, I hope Mr. Kan can introduce me. I'm not picky."
Kan Jiashu: As expected!
He felt a bit tired, "Miss Ling decided to invest in me because of my father?"
China is naturally a society built on relationships.
Kan Jiashu didn't feel ashamed of using the resources his father established, but that didn't conflict with his desire to gain social recognition through his own efforts.
Ling Yue rubbed her fingertips, "I'm not from Hangzhou, and I'm not familiar with the business circles."
"The decision to invest came first. I only learned about your father's identity through my lawyer last night. I realized it's exactly the help I'll need for my future development. It's killing two birds with one stone, so of course, I'll do it."
"Miss Ling is very direct and candid." Xun Ji subtly reminded Kan Jiashu that it was enough.
Ling Yue asked with a smile, "Can we continue our discussion then?"
Kan Jiashu: "Of course!"
