“If I’m not wrong, Qu Lu will get a portion of the funds from the Qu family. When you return, calculate the amount and report it to me. I’ll transfer the money to you then,” Fang Yao said calmly.
Yin Xun was a little worried. “Can she do it? With her relationship with Qu Lin, what would Qu Lin think if she knew that she was going to open a company? After Qu Lu left yesterday, I called Qu Lin, but no one picked up. I don’t know if she’s angry with me.”
Although Qu Lin had not answered her phone in the past, the situation yesterday was special.
Qu Lin never let Qu Lu have an easy time. That was why she had repeatedly ruined Qu Lu and Fang Yao’s plans to prevent her from marrying a rich man. At the same time, she had no intention of giving Qu Lu any assets. She wanted her to fend for herself in the future.
Fang Yao could tell that Yin Xun was worried and consoled her, “Don’t worry. With Qu Lin’s personality, even if she has any grudges, she will tell you clearly before targeting you. If she doesn’t say anything, it means that she’s fine. Even if Qu Lu doesn’t get the money, there’s still me. I’ll just treat it as investing in a few more projects.”
“Alright, thanks in advance,” Yin Xun said with a smile.
Looking at Yin Xun’s smile, Fang Yao’s heart skipped a beat. When she smiled, her eyes were curved like crescent moons. It was as if they held a magical power that pulled him in.
“Ahem…” Fang Yao coughed lightly. He was afraid that Yin Xun would notice his loss of composure, so he quickly changed the topic. “Have you been paying attention to Blue Fox recently?”
Yin Xun shook her head. “I know that Blue Fox was having an event and invested a lot of money. However, this is just following what I’ve done. The users have already gone on a mad shopping spree before. There’s no need for me to continue burning money with them. What’s the matter? Have they been acting strangely recently?”
“No. They’ve already lost a lot of money this time. There’s also the lottery event. I heard that the prizes are very lucrative. They invested so much money, but the sales didn’t meet their expectations. Originally, they planned to do more activities, but according to the current situation, they’ll lose even more if they continue. In order to avoid losing more, they plan to end the event early. They just posted an announcement this morning, but the users didn’t seem to buy it. They felt that Blue Fox had lied to them again and started criticizing them again,” Fang Yao said calmly.
Blue Fox was currently being roasted over a fire. No matter what they did, it was not satisfactory to the customers.
If they continued with the event and their income did not meet the requirements, the investors would definitely not agree to continue burning money. No one wanted to be a spendthrift. However, if they ended the event early, the users would definitely be unhappy. Blue Fox’s reputation had already collapsed once. It would be very difficult to recover if it collapsed again.
In the end, between money and reputation, Blue Fox chose the former. Perhaps they felt that reputation could be earned back through post-production marketing.
“So, there’s still a lottery event? I thought there would only be discounts. I’ll take part in the draw before the event ends,” Yin Xun said as she took out her phone and prepared to draw a lot.
Fang Yao saw the Blue Fox app on Yin Xun’s phone and said helplessly, “You’re the boss of Xintao, right?”
Yin Xun pressed the lottery wheel and drew a prize. It was 200 yuan in cash.
She immediately smiled from ear to ear and waved her hand. “Don’t mind my identity. It’s good as long as you can get money. It doesn’t matter if the other party is your competitor. That’s great. 200 yuan. I’ll treat you to delicious food tomorrow.”
“…” Fang Yao nodded. That seemed to make sense. Hence, he took out his phone and downloaded Blue Fox. Then, he drew the lottery as well. In the end, he only got ten cents.
Looking at the amount, Fang Yao silently put his phone back.
“I heard that they’re holding another investors’ meeting. Since they did not manage to faze you with this event, they’ll definitely try something else next. Watch out for the news.” Fang Yao pretended that nothing had happened and reminded Yin Xun.
“Alright.” Yin Xun nodded.
While the two of them were talking, the butler brought over a plate of pears and placed it in front of them. However, he did not slice them open this time. Instead, he brought the fruit in whole and invited the two of them to eat.
Yin Xun smiled and thanked him. “Thank you, Uncle Butler.”
“Young Master, these are the pears that Miss Yin just bought. Do you want to try it?” The butler looked at Fang Yao and winked at him.
Fang Yao looked at Yin Xun and asked in surprise, “You bought this?”
Yin Xun nodded. “That’s right. Do you not like pears? I can get something else next time.”
Fang Yao, “…It’s not that I don’t like pears, but the problem is that you bought it.”
“What do you mean? Do you think I don’t know how to choose fruit? I bought this from an old granny. They’re juicy. Try it. It’s really delicious,” Yin Xun said and took a big bite.
“Separation, separation. You can’t give pears as gifts.” Fang Yao sighed. He knew that Yin Xun was a straightforward person and would not understand what he meant..
