Chapter 153: You Dare Order Around Your Investor?

“Hello, Miss Yin. My name is Yang Leduo.

“I’m the founder of Shared Flywheel!

“We met at the venture conference before. Do you remember me?”

Yang Leduo stepped forward, greeting her nervously.

This was the rich woman who had invested ten million into Jiang Zhou. Who would’ve thought she’d bump into her like this?

If she could secure her investment, Shared Flywheel could surely spread nationwide.

“Venture conference? Sorry, I don’t remember.” Yin Shuya shook her head bluntly.

Those boring meetings, she had slept through almost the entire thing.

If that little girl on stage hadn’t woken her in time, she would’ve missed the investment, and then Jiang Zhou would’ve smashed all the glass in her house.

So she had no impression of Yang Leduo, let alone her project.

“Then may I have a bit of your time to introduce my project?”

“Sorry, I’m busy with other things. Maybe another time.”

Yang Leduo looked embarrassed, but she wasn’t ready to give up.

Investors of Yin Shuya’s level. If you managed the relationship well, future funding would flow endlessly.

If she didn’t try now, where would she ever find such a “golden patron” again?

“Miss Yin, you invested ten million into Ganfanren, right? I’m not asking for much. I also just need ten million.”

“You know about Ganfanren?”

Yang Leduo nodded immediately. “The founder and I are both rising entrepreneurs, but honestly, I don’t think much of his project.”

Yin Shuya frowned slightly. “And what does that have to do with you?”

“I know Su Nan is very capable and persuaded you, but the truth is, the boss of Ganfanren is just a mediocrity.”

“Su Nan? Who’s that?”

“The one at the conference. The one who convinced you to invest ten million!”

Yin Shuya paused, then her brow eased.

Ah, yes. I remember now.

Jiang Zhou’s employee.

Yes, that girl had “convinced” me, though really it was Jiang Zhou’s name that jolted me awake.

But still, that counted as persuasion. Fair enough.

Yang Leduo pressed on. “I can help you make a lot of money.”

Yin Shuya waved her hand. “I’ve got more money than I need. I’m not interested in making more.”

“Then… why did you invest in Ganfanren?”

“Because of that bastard Jiang Zhou. He threatened me, smashed my windows!”

Yang Leduo blinked. “Excuse me… what did you say?”

Just mentioning it made Yin Shuya angry. “That guy set up some trap, smashed my windows, and still wouldn’t admit it!”

“He… he smashed your windows?”

“Mm.”

But just then, Jiang Zhou walked out of the mall entrance.

He was wearing a brand-new pure black suit, holding a gray-white checkered tie.

“Hey, rich lady. Come tie this for me.”

“Can’t you at least say please? Am I your servant?”

Jiang Zhou coughed. “Then please, my servant, help me with my tie.”

Helpless, Yin Shuya went over and used her slender white hands to tie the knot for him.

But once it was done, she yanked it tight, choking his neck.

“Easy! You’re about to crush my Adam’s apple!”

“Perfect, then we can be good sisters.”

Jiang Zhou gave her a strange look. “Do you really think the only difference between men and women is the Adam’s apple?”

Yin Shuya loosened the tie. “What else is there?”

“N-no, you’re right. Next time I’ll cover my Adam’s apple and we’ll bathe together.”

“Get lost! Do you really think I’m some ignorant twenty-nine-year-old girl?”

What nonsense, is there such a thing as a twenty-nine-year-old “ignorant girl”?

Ignorant or not wasn’t the point.

The point is, is there even such a thing as a twenty-nine-year-old girl?

Unmarried at twenty-nine? At best, that made her a “young auntie.”

An old woman, pretending otherwise.

At that moment, Jiang Zhou noticed Yang Leduo nearby.

“Your friend?”

“No, just bumped into her on the street.”

“Didn’t I tell you not to talk to strangers, you so-called twenty-nine-year-old ignorant girl?”

“Ugh, are you renting this office space or not? If you keep running your mouth, I’m leaving!”

“Rent, rent, rent. Let’s go take a look.”

Meanwhile, Yang Leduo stood frozen.

She knew the man in the suit was Jiang Zhou.

But that wasn’t why she was stunned.

Wasn’t the one being invested in supposed to be humble and deferential?

How could he speak to an investor like that?

Wasn’t he afraid she’d get offended and pull her money out?

Her worldview was cracking.

That was ten million!

If it were her, she’d treat Yin Shuya like a goddess, worshiping her every move.

How could Jiang Zhou dare order her around?!

What kind of situation was this?

Yin Shuya was the “sugar daddy investor” here!

This defied all logic, completely irrational!

Yang Leduo forced her doubts aside. No time to think. She still had to meet Feng Sihai.

Ding!

Soon, the elevator reached the eighth floor.

Yang Leduo stepped out, clutching her project proposal.

At the same time, Jiang Zhou and Yin Shuya also appeared on the eighth floor.

They were inspecting a vacant office next door to Linghang Capital.

Yang Leduo pretended not to see them and hurried into Linghang’s office.

Inside, Feng Sihai was sitting in the café area, deep in thought.

He had three questions on his mind.

First: When would Jiang Zhou come find him?

Ganfanren’s citywide expansion was a huge deal. Of course, he knew about it.

Even the recent ground promotions had reached their office.

Logically, since Miss Feng had told him to look out for Jiang Zhou, surely Jiang Zhou would’ve contacted him?

Yet with such a massive operation, not a word had reached him.

Second: How could he help Jiang Zhou?

When Ganfanren first started, he hadn’t been involved.

When Ganfanren expanded citywide, he hadn’t been involved.

Surely Jiang Zhou wouldn’t just succeed so smoothly?

He was ready and waiting to lend a hand, so why hadn’t Jiang Zhou come?

And according to his research, it was the Yin family heiress who seemed more active.

Why was Jiang Zhou always turning to outsiders instead of his own people?

Third: Should he take the initiative to approach him?

At first, Feng Sihai thought, I’m a big boss. Jiang Zhou’s just a young junior, even if he’s Feng Yiyun’s representative. As the one offering help, shouldn’t I keep my dignity and wait?

But that was the problem. He didn’t act, and neither did Jiang Zhou.

Then how was he supposed to “give help” like Feng Yiyun wanted?

If he missed this chance and let the Yin family take too much involvement, would his own family think he was slacking? Would they punish him?

Meanwhile, Xingzhou Investments was established.

Ganfanren had also been officially registered with the commerce bureau.

Jiang Zhou had even contacted Yin Shuya about renting an office in the city.

At that moment, Feng Sihai remembered Su Nan’s words.

Everything is Jiang Zhou’s arrangement. Even if he isn’t present, it’s still arranged by him. Whatever strange thing happens, it’s his arrangement.

“Hello, Mr. Feng, I’m Yang Leduo.

“This is my startup project, Shared Flywheel!”

A slightly nervous voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

Feng Sihai looked up, sizing her up.

“Oh, you’re the one who called yesterday. Xiao Yang, right?”

“Yes, yes! I came today to discuss investment. Is now a good time?”

“Mm, go ahead.”

Feng Sihai wasn’t really interested in the project itself.

But he was curious about the six-to-one deposit scheme. That’s why he gave her a chance.

However, as his gaze wandered, he caught sight of a face outside the door.

In that instant, his interest in the six-to-one scheme vanished.

“Mr. Feng, my project is shared bicycles. Using existing funds, we place bicycles around the city, collecting deposits and membership fees.

“Right now, I’ve deployed nearly 3,000 bikes in Shangjing, 2,000 in Jinhai, and already pulled in over three million in deposits.

“My future plan is to set up an investment firm, centralize funds—”

Yang Leduo was speaking passionately when she noticed Feng Sihai seemed distracted, glancing toward the door, leaning forward as if trying to see outside.

“Mr. Feng?”

“Ah? Oh? What you’re saying is good. Keep going.”

Suppressing her irritation, Yang Leduo continued, “I’m hoping for a five-million investment to expand into Beihai.”

Feng Sihai nodded. “Jinhai, right?”

“No, Beihai.”

“Oh, okay. Go on.”

Yang Leduo fell silent. “I already finished.”

Feng Sihai blinked. “Oh… and how much do you want me to invest?”

“Five million. I’ll repay you with interest in a year.”

“Five million, that’s not a small sum.”

Yang Leduo bit her lip nervously.

She knew it was a lot, and that Feng Sihai would weigh it carefully.

But just then, voices came from the doorway. They were Jiang Zhou and Yin Shuya.

“This place isn’t great. It doesn’t face the sun.”

“Shangjing’s real estate is sky-high. All the sunny spots are long gone.”

“Forget it, let’s check out Jinhe SOHO instead.”

Yin Shuya gritted her teeth. This guy was too hard to please.

The location was excellent, the rent cheap.

None of the surrounding buildings had such good spots.

But he was hung up on sunlight!

“What is this, an office or a flower garden?”

Jiang Zhou smiled. “Most of my employees are girls. You know, girls are like flowers.”

Yin Shuya snorted. “You’re just running a company to scam young women, aren’t you?”

“Mm, that’s accurate, but it’s for my dowry fund.”

“Whoever ends up with you is truly unlucky.”

Just then, across the hall, Feng Sihai couldn’t resist stepping out.

He recognized that face immediately.

It was his prized Jiang Zhou!

So, he wanted to rent office space?

Excellent!

If Jiang Zhou moved in right next door, wouldn’t cooperation become much easier?

Meanwhile, Yang Leduo stared in confusion as Feng Sihai walked past her.

“Mr. Feng, where are you going?”

“Ah, I just saw a friend. You wait here.”
