Chapter 299

"So, Miss Yang confirms that your Jiaxing is worth this price, is that correct?" Lin Yi asked.

"Yes!" Yang Mi replied with great confidence.

"Then, if I invest these 300 million, how can you guarantee my interests, Miss Yang?"

Lin Yi said.

Although a mere 300 million Chinese yuan meant nothing to him now,

he could not simply invest based on the empty words of any beautiful woman who tried to deceive him.

While he was quite curious about Yang Mi's mature, married-woman aura, he was no lustful demon willing to gamble 300 million just to make a beauty smile.

This was a normal business negotiation for financing.

In such a case, Lin Yi would certainly hire someone to conduct DD on the other party's company, known in the industry as "due diligence."

This involved a detailed understanding of the company's finances, market, sales, and so on.

Even for an entertainment company, this stage could not be skipped.

Lin Yi would not simply take Yang Mi's word for it; without "due diligence,"

who would dare invest in an unfamiliar company?

Were they really not afraid of throwing their money down the drain?

This was standard business procedure.

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Yang Mi thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said:

"I can represent Jiaxing in signing a bet-on agreement with Mr. Lin!"

"Go on," Lin Yi said, taking a sip of red wine.

"Within three years, Jiaxing will achieve a net profit of 310 million; otherwise, we will repurchase the shares Mr. Lin holds in Jiaxing at an annual return rate of fifteen percent!"

"That's somewhat interesting!"

Lin Yi put down his wine glass. If what Yang Mi had said earlier was merely a castle in the air,

then this wager was solid and tangible.

Moreover, as one of the Four Little Dan Actresses,

as long as she did not suffer a scandalous downfall, Lin Yi had no worry about her being unable to repay the money.

At the same time, through Jiaxing, he seemed to have found a channel to wash his overseas money clean.

After pondering for a moment,

Lin Yi said:

"How about this: tomorrow I will send people to your company to conduct DD, and then we can discuss the shareholding matter. What do you think?"

To this, Yang Mi happily nodded.

Although the other party had not agreed immediately, no big boss would shell out 300 million based solely on a few words from her.

If that were truly the case, she would even doubt how such a person managed to build such a massive business empire.

Pang Di, watching the two from the side, had not dared to interrupt while they were discussing business matters.

Only now did she speak up:

"If Mr. Lin successfully takes a share, doesn't that mean you will become my boss?"

"Hehe, then you can start currying favor with your boss in advance; otherwise, I might have Yang Mi bury your career!"

"Heh, then you can start currying favor with me, your boss, in advance; otherwise, I'll have Yang Mi blacklist you!"

Upon hearing this, Pang Di immediately hugged Lin Yi's arm and began swaying it against her panda-like chest:

"Then how exactly am I supposed to curry favor with my boss? I don't understand at all; could Mr. Lin teach me?"

Watching this scene, Yang Mi sighed inwardly.

She knew that Pang Di was preparing to go all in.

However, thinking about it, even if Pang Di could not become his legitimate wife in the future,

as long as she had the backing of Shanghai's richest man, coupled with her exotic looks,

it would be difficult for her not to become famous.

Furthermore, in the entertainment circle, it was all too common for female stars to become mistresses and bear illegitimate children for powerful men.

Compared to those old men past fifty, Lin Yi had both looks and wealth,

being the third richest person in Dragon Nation and the wealthiest in Shanghai.

For Pang Di, if she missed out on Lin Yi,

she would absolutely never encounter a second person with such qualifications.

After all, the circle of wealthy individuals in Dragon Nation consisted of only so many people, and most were middle-aged little old men over forty.

Therefore, it was no wonder Pang Di was being so proactive.

To be honest, Yang Mi felt that if she were ten years younger and unmarried,

she would also act this shamelessly.

It was just that now, she wondered if he would even consider her worthy.

At this moment, feeling the touch on his arm, Lin Yi looked at Pang Di's face, which was filled with exotic, stunning beauty, and said with a smile:

"Of course, I can go teach you in a while. How about that!?"

Pang Di's face instantly flushed red, but she did not object, whispering softly:

Pang Di's face instantly flushed red, yet she did not object, speaking softly instead.

And so, the meal was enjoyed to everyone's great satisfaction.

Once they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Yi followed Pang Di to her room.

Once they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Yi followed Pang Di to her room.

Yang Mi, however, went somewhat awkwardly to the suite next door.

Upon entering the room, Pang Di spoke directly: "480..."

"Then I... I'll go take a shower first!"

"Mm, go ahead!" Lin Yi nodded.

Immediately, Pang Di went to the bathroom; after waiting about half an hour,

she emerged wrapped in a towel, her long hair flowing, her face flushed with a deep red blush.

In truth, regarding this journey of over a thousand kilometers to Magic City and what she intended to do, she had long since made her plans.

No matter what, she needed to take this step.

As an ordinary young girl who had risen from Urumqi City, she had been navigating the entertainment circle for quite some time,

so she naturally understood the difference between a female star with a benefactor and one without.

However, this was also a matter of mutual selection.

Pang Di would not casually choose just anyone simply to find a benefactor;

in the past, several middle-aged successful men had hinted at such intentions, but she had rejected them all.

After all, if one loses what is most precious, it can never be regained.

She intended to save her most precious possession for that benefactor father figure in her heart who was worthy of her trust.

It was a chance encounter on a flight that led her to meet Lin Yi.

From that moment on, she could no longer bring herself to look at any other man.

And since she had made her choice, she would not hesitate or drag her feet.

Women like Pang Di, who navigated the entertainment circle, understood very well that a young, wealthy, and successful man like Lin Yi surely had no shortage of women around him.

If you tried to play hard-to-get with such people,

they would likely lose interest in you very quickly.

After all, this world does not revolve around you being the only beauty;

there are women who, for the sake of fame, would not even care about saving face.

Just look at Hengdian; so many beautiful women there that even a random assistant director or cinematographer

has slept with so many they are nearly sick of it.

Therefore, this time, Pang Di was going all in.

Although shy and blushing furiously, she still mimicked scenes she had learned from Little Days films,

and squatted down.
