121: Chapter 121 The Opportunity Given by Lin Yi

"What is it? Tell me."

"As long as it is within my power, I will definitely help."

Lin Yi answered very sincerely.

He thought about how, because of him, Su Ming had suffered an unjust accusation earlier.

For a young woman, her reputation was undoubtedly extremely important.

Although the incident had subsided, Lin Yi still felt a bit guilty.

He felt he should properly compensate Su Ming.

Su Ming bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Lin Yi, could you… take me with you to do investments…?"

"I am currently… in urgent need of a large sum of money…"

Su Ming had undergone a long period of mental preparation before deciding to make this request to Lin Yi.

She knew that rashly asking someone to take her along to make money involved the other party's trade secrets, which was a very presumptuous act.

But now, she didn't have much time left.

She knew that tonight at the banquet, Li Runze was going to publicly announce the news of their engagement.

Once this news was made public, the marriage would have to go ahead whether she liked it or not.

The price of publicly breaking off an engagement was not something their Su Family could afford.

At that point, not only would they fail to receive financial help from the Li Family, but they might also incur Li Runze's wrath.

The Su Family's company was already on the verge of collapse; if they were to make an enemy of the Li Family at this time, it would definitely not be a wise move.

If she really wanted to reject Li Runze, the best opportunity was before he announced the engagement news.

Right now, everyone was only hearing rumors about the engagement; if she broke it off privately now, it wouldn't damage the Li Family's face.

But the Su Family currently had no capital to refuse.

Unless she, Su Ming, could think of another way to save the Su Family.

So, after much deliberation, Su Ming decided to ask Lin Yi for help.

Upon hearing that Su Ming wanted money, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He had thought it was some kind of huge trouble.

He didn't expect it was just about money.

That was easy; asking for money was no problem at all.

Besides, he could get another cashback.

Why not do it?

"Senior, just tell me, how much money do you need? I can transfer it to you directly!"

Su Ming shook her head quickly.

"Lin Yi, you misunderstood me. I am not that kind of person."

"I want to earn money through my own efforts."

"I am in the finance department, and I know a little bit about investments."

"I want to learn from you, and then earn money through my own hard work…"

"I know saying this is a bit presumptuous… but I really want to… really want to earn money…"

Seeing that Su Ming was somewhat stubborn, Lin Yi knew that such things could not be forced.

Su Ming came from a well-off family, so if she was short on money now, she might have truly encountered some difficulties.

But since he had directly offered to give her a large sum of money, she might not be able to accept it due to her self-esteem.

Thus, Lin Yi thought of a compromise.

"Senior, how about this? Aren't you already in your senior year?"

"And you'll be working soon!"

"I don't know if you are willing to join my company."

"I recently started a live streaming platform; it's just getting started, and we are in need of people."

"I don't usually have much spare time to oversee it. If you are willing, I can formally hire you as my assistant."

"As for the salary… let's set it at an annual salary of five million!"

Lin Yi considered it and didn't set the annual salary too high, fearing that Su Ming would think it was far above the market average and feel embarrassed to accept it.

Su Ming was clearly startled by Lin Yi's proposal.

Lin Yi had actually started a company… and was even willing to offer her an annual salary of five million!

This was already considered a very good compensation package.

Su Ming was very grateful.

It was just that this amount of money, for the Su Family… was merely a drop in the bucket…

The Su Family needed at least five hundred million in working capital.

And even with five hundred million, it would only temporarily resolve the immediate crisis.

To bring the Su Family's company back to life, a much larger sum of capital was needed.

However, seeing Lin Yi like this, it should be considered a polite refusal of her proposal to do investments with him.

Su Ming felt a bit dejected.

At this rate, she would still have to honestly get engaged to Li Runze.

But she didn't blame Lin Yi.

The Su Family's funding gap was so large that not everyone could just casually come up with it.

She was already very satisfied that Lin Yi was willing to help her like this.

Su Ming: Favorability +2.

Current Favorability: 60.

"Ding! Detected an increase in the favorability of the bound target, Su Ming. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 2 points."

Hearing that her favorability had increased, Lin Yi knew that Su Ming was likely quite satisfied with his proposal.

"If you are short on money, I can advance you ten years of salary," Lin Yi added.

He thought to himself that ten years of salary would add up to fifty million.

That should be enough for Su Ming…

Su Ming pondered for a moment and nodded.

This compensation was indeed very good; even if she joined her own family's company in the future, her father probably wouldn't give her such a high annual salary.

Although she was about to be married, she still had to find a way to seek financial independence.

Su Ming was a very strong-willed person at heart.

She didn't want to depend on Li Runze and become a useless socialite wife.

"Lin… President Lin, I haven't had much exposure to the live streaming industry, so I might not know much."

"But rest assured, I will learn properly; I learn very quickly!"

Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't call me President Lin; it sounds awkward. You should just call me Lin Yi."

"If it's convenient for you, you can report to the company in the near future."

"I just need to tell the HR department."

"The company has just started, and most of the people there are tech-focused; they aren't very skilled in company management and development."

"These things might have to trouble you later."

"By the way, let me transfer your salary to you first."

As Lin Yi spoke, he took out his phone and transferred fifty million to Su Ming.

"Ding! Spent fifty million on the cashback target. Cashback target favorability: 60."

"The cashback multiplier is currently being randomly generated…"

"Generated. The cashback multiplier for this time is 55 times."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a cashback of 2.75 billion!"

Seeing that Lin Yi transferred such a large sum of money without a word, Su Ming was very moved.

"Lin Yi, thank you…"

Su Ming: Favorability +4.

Current Favorability: 64.

"Ding! Detected an increase in the favorability of the bound target, Su Ming. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 4 points."

"What is the name of our live streaming platform?"

"I will go back and study the advantages and disadvantages of the current live streaming software on the market later."

"I want to see if there is anything we can learn from and improve upon."

Su Ming immediately entered work mode.

Lin Yi also admired this kind of decisive personality.

"It's the Whale Live Streaming that launched today."

"If you have any ideas, feel free to go ahead and implement them."

"Just let me know about major decisions; for other small matters, you can make the calls yourself."

"Also, don't worry about the funding."

Su Ming was stunned, and it felt like a thunderclap had exploded in her heart.

"Whale Live Streaming?"

Although Su Ming didn't watch live streams, she went online often.

Today, the internet was flooded with news about the launch of Whale Live Streaming.

Many people were discussing that this might be a rising star that would compete for the market against the current three major live streaming giants.

She never expected that Whale Live Streaming actually belonged to Lin Yi!

And listening to Lin Yi's tone now, it seemed like he was going to hand over the full management of Whale Live Streaming to her!

What kind of trust was this!

A spark gradually ignited in Su Ming's heart.

Although the engagement seemed like something that couldn't be changed, she still had the opportunity to become the powerful businesswoman she aspired to be.

And this opportunity to realize her life's value was given by Lin Yi!

Su Ming: Favorability +4.

Current Favorability: 68.

"Ding! Detected an increase in the favorability of the bound target, Su Ming. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 4 points."
