Employees have nothing to do with the company’s losses, as long as there’s revenue, their salaries are prioritized.

Anyway, there’s no boss who’s going to fire them.

Now, we’re only in debt of over ten billion. If we want to acquire Musician, we probably don’t even need to pay; as long as we’re willing to take on the debt, someone will figure it out for us.

Because all the money owed is to the banks.

It’s not the right time yet, let’s wait until Boss Jia’s ’coming back next week’ becomes a slogan for good and everyone becomes thoroughly impatient with him.

By the end of the year, it should be about right.

...

At home, Li Yang was taking photos of Jiang Banxia.

Li Yang had photos of Jiang Banxia from before. Although she hadn’t changed much, perhaps had become slightly mature and charming with age, the biggest change was in her eyes.

Two years ago, she was like a withdrawn girl, her eyes evasive, feeling slightly awkward and shy in front of the camera.

But now, her eyes were full of confidence.

She elegantly struck a pose and asked, "Master Li, what is this outfit called?"

"The Stepmother Dress."

"And the previous one?"

"Academy Style, oh, and there’s another one, take some photos and post them on Weibo later."

"Ahhh? Post on Weibo?"

"Of course..."

Soon, Li Yang prepared another outfit.

This one was much more normal, just a simple T-shirt paired with jeans, with a bow tied at the waist using the bottom of the T-shirt.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Jiang Banxia faced the morning sun, looking absolutely stunning.

Posting on Weibo would deepen the impression with her fans.

These things gradually build influence.

While posting the photos, Li Yang specifically tagged himself as the photographer.

In the evening, Jiang Banxia ordered a small cake.

She learned it online, after all, it was 520.

"Master Li, I see the car is almost out."

"It’s a concept car, just a shell. But since we play with assembling, if we can make the shell, the rest is pretty much there."

"Oh, I saw it, it looks cool, the logo feels special, is it a double integral? Representing ultimate space?"

Li Yang: "..."

Isn’t that a vertical ’approximately equal’ sign?

How did it become a double integral?

But actually... it sounds kind of cool...

"Yes, yes, that’s exactly what I meant."

Jiang Banxia’s explanation clearly added a different meaning.

Jiang Banxia asked, "Then... will you give me one?"

"Of course, when the technology matures, I’ll personally handcraft one for Master Jiang and drive it to propose!"

"Great, great, do you need money? I’ll invest, I’ll invest..." Jiang Banxia nodded and asked.

Li Yang refused, "Right now, the company doesn’t need much money. We’ll rely on bank loans to keep going. After we’re ready for mass production next year, we can take Extreme Shadow Cars public."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Banxia calculated on her fingers, then smiled and said, "Alright!"

Li Yang asked, "What are you calculating?"

"Nothing, nothing..."

"I feel like you’re scheming against me, don’t embarrass me too much, I’m quite a famous influencer now, you know."

"Alright, alright..."

After eating the cake, Li Yang said, "Now, put your hand out."

"Huh?" Jiang Banxia looked curious, thinking Li Yang had a gift. "Should I close my eyes?"

"No need, no need." Li Yang said, and took out a small box from his pocket, which held a string of small stones.

Of the irregular kind.

"Nephrite jade?" Jiang Banxia wasn’t familiar with these, just knew to ask Dou Ying since Dou Ying’s dad liked nephrite jade.

"Yes, they’re all natural, not very smooth, not particularly regular in shape, but there are no sharp edges, and you can see the beauty from any angle."

Li Yang didn’t consider the value.

This bracelet he gave to Jiang Banxia was rare but not highly valuable, less than a hundred thousand yuan.

Very different from the one Bai Qing gave him.

His was worth around five hundred thousand, a top-tier bracelet, hardly found nationwide.

Nephrite jade is about its natural shape, otherwise, that heavenly dog wouldn’t auction for over ten million.

Right now nephrite jade is cheap, but in a few years, its price can double as global financial easing creates hyperinflation, and the demand for tangible assets spikes, same with jadeite.

Jiang Banxia shyly said, "Oh my, since Master Li prepared a gift, I really seem a bit clueless, what should I do?"

"Just go with it! I don’t care much about gifts, you know, I always..." Li Yang hadn’t finished when he saw Jiang Banxia take out a key.

He took a look and asked, "What’s this?"

"There’s a small drawer in the bedroom cabinet, it’s inside, want to check it out?"

"No, I won’t!" Li Yang quickly returned the key to Jiang Banxia.

In that drawer, there wasn’t much, just a few documents he saw Jiang Banxia put in.

He knew what the documents were about.

Jiang Banxia puzzledly said, "Why? What if it’s a gift you really like?"

Li Yang waved his hand, "To me, the best gift is always you, I don’t really need things like cars or houses."

"But what if it’s a lot of money?"

Inside is a contract, where Li Yang previously lent her a hundred million, and she managed to earn that much. Besides using the funds earned from Xiangnu and her scholarship and allowance to make a hundred million, the other half of the capital was provided by Li Yang.
