As soon as the Director heard that Rong Jing was going to the IT Department, he sent him there in person as if Rong Jing was some kind of king. Li Si couldn’t get involved at all. She thought, these old farts from the Entertainment Department really are like foxes. They work fast, sneaky at that too.

This was the first time for the people of the IT Department to have seen the Director of the entertainment department smiling so widely. They all knew about the budget cut of the entertainment department and they would always see this Director acting grumpy, yet lo and behold, he was acting very differently now. They were very amazed.

The IT Department only has a few people that are really working properly.

Just like all the other big companies that have been running for several years, there has been an accumulation of long-standing problems inside. There were a lot of people in the company that relied on nepotism. These people often have acquaintances in the upper echelons of the Xie family. Many of them are the remaining people of the Old Xie that have worked with him during his time. Even Xie Ling could not easily make a move on them.

The business world was ever changing and the market has long been eaten up by other new companies. The Xie is still in the stage of transformation and transition and has entered the market too late.

Just as the entertainment department is undervalued, so is the IT department. Their room is even smaller than the entertainment department’s room.

Rong Jing sometimes feels that Xie Ling is like superman. He has to clean up after Xie Jisheng’s mess. He has to solve the company’s internal problems and handle the company’s board of directors. Xie Zhanhong is only responsible for eating, drinking and playing. 

Xie Ling created a team of his own, worked hard on his own to achieve his current success, and successfully transformed several of the Xie’s main businesses. From the success of Xie Li’er’s transformation, Rong Jing could see Xie Ling’s ambition.

“When will this skilled person come to the company?”

“That depends on his mood,” At first, this person asked for a high salary and demanded that he would only come at least three times a week. “If he comes, I’ll let you know right away.”

People who have been listening to the conversation of the two silently gave the technician a thumbs up. Look at how this sneaky bastard works. He actually managed to get the young master to add him on WeChat.

The two were still talking as they walked towards the building’s lobby. A tall and thin man nearby was holding a stack of papers in his hand as he tried to talk to a supervisor, “Please take a look at our proposal first! We really put a lot of thought into it!”

However, no matter how much he pleaded, the supervisor was not showing any interest. He didn’t care about these small companies who came here looking for someone to invest in them, and dismissed him with a few words.

Rong Jing didn’t take this scene to heart either. When he walked out of the building, he looked around first. Fortunately, he didn’t see Qi Ying. Rong Jing found it more difficult to talk to this troublesome Omega than talking about asset liquidation and business stuff. He really wasn’t good at dealing with other people’s feelings.

He saw the tall and thin man sitting on a chair, wiping his haggard-looking face. He seemed to be under too much pressure. With the way that he blew his nose, it seemed like he had been crying.

Without a thought, the man suddenly stood up and collided with Rong Jing, making all the papers fall all over the place.

Realizing that he had bumped into someone, the man apologized repeatedly. Rong Jing told him that it was okay. Just as he was helping the man pick up the papers, he happened to read a few pages of the man’s proposal.

Hmm? Fun TV, isn’t this like the prototype of my world’s Tikt*k? Little Red Bo*k? Kuaisho*?1 The overall level of entertainment of his original world was way more advanced than this world’s, a setting that the author made for this story.

This person was looking for investors to fund his proposal, but it was very unlikely for the IT Department to accept this proposal that was very ahead of its time. Similar to the problem of the Entertainment Department, the IT Department has also invested heavily in several app proposals. However, the company had also started to cut their budget. Of course, they wouldn’t risk putting their remaining money on this unusual app.

Another point to take note of: Companies with an Alpha boss usually are the ones who could manage to pull more resources. The staff and the stakeholders trust the Alphas. The one standing in front of Rong Jing now, if he guessed correctly, should be a Beta.

Rong Jing’s heart started to beat a little faster. He asked the man, “Where are you going next to look for an investor?” He needed to find out what was going on.

The other person looked at Rong Jing. To the man, Rong Jing looked really young. He seemed like a teenager to him. A young adult, at most. He vaguely remembered that the young man came from the IT Department, probably someone who came looking for a job. He didn’t have the time to talk to such a silly young man now, but it was his fault that he bumped into him.

He casually replied, “Pai Sen Technology. If that fails, maybe…”

He mentioned more companies. Wu family owned Pai Sen Tech, a company that focuses on innovation, research and development. The other companies he mentioned are those that attacked the Xie company in the story.

Sure enough, this world revolves around these protagonists. All these halos and treasure just fly automatically over to them for the plot to move. If he had been a bit late, he would’ve given this gold to the other party for nothing.

He remembered that the Wu family won the state-sponsored investment project in one fell swoop because of this unknown app. This app was then developed more overseas, making the Wu family become first rate entrepreneurs.

Yes, entrepreneurs, not capitalists.

Entrepreneurs bear more social significance and value than capitalists. Only in this way can the Wu family thoroughly wash away their previous bad reputation.

Rong Jing felt jittery. To be honest, he wanted to just get straight to the point. So he told the man, “How much investment do you want?”

He wasn’t sure whether his own small treasury was enough. If not, he would need to borrow a little from Xie Ling. No matter what happens, he wouldn’t let this gold be given to those people for nothing.

There was no reason to make others strong and make yourself weak.

The tall and thin man looked at Rong Jing, dumbfounded. The young man wanted to invest in his proposal without even properly looking at it. He almost wanted to swear at him.

What? You think investing in me is like giving away some bok choy? He had been working hard these past few days yet no one cared about him at all. He looked at how the young man was dressed. It was obvious that his clothes came from some cheap shopping mall, though his temperament was very good. Still, a family, no matter how well-off they are, wouldn’t have given such a child a pocket money, enough to sustain his proposal.

Because his plan was a new type of app, it attracted a bit of investment from its first half of development. Since the app market has been occupied by traditional media in recent years, the market has become oversaturated. Some people felt optimistic about his app before yet they were still unwilling to take risks.

In order to scare off Rong Jing, the tall and thin man gave him a very high number, “I need 2 million!”

2 million! How about now? Feeling scared, kid? These young ones, really. Don’t just spout nonsense. Be careful or you’ll have yourself beaten up by society.

In fact, all he needed was 1 million but even 800,000 was good enough. First, he needed to pay his debts. Then he can only sell his product at a low price to pay the bills. His old employees have long been waiting for him. Even though they don’t eat, they still have to make a living.

Rong Jing was surprised, “Are you sure?”

The tall and thin man answered, “I’m sure.”

See, it scared the unlucky kid. Come on now, this uncle will let you off now. The good-looking ones really have it easy, being forgiven this easily.

Rong Jing asked, “That’s all you need?” Shouldn’t he add another zero? No, Rong Jing, now you’re just trying to show off.

The tall and thin man: “…”

This child, I’m not sure he knows what he’s talking about. I already said that I need 800,000. The app market’s already chaotic as it is. Everyone is very cautious about investing. To mention 800,00 is already asking for too much.

Rong Jing: “But do you need a company to invest in you? Is it okay for just an individual person to invest? Why don’t we set a date now and sign the contract right away?”

I can’t let this opportunity slip away. It may never come again.

Even if this turns out to be a black hole as well, I should be able to profit even a little at least.

The tall and thin man: “…”

Today, I bumped into a man. I have been working hard for more than a month without getting a penny of investment. Yet, this young man said that two million was too little and asked if it could be increased to five million.

I’m guessing this kid’s messing with me.

Where did this kid come from? Where are his parents? His guardians? Please take away this child who speaks big, empty words.
