Failure doesn’t matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about our cash flow…” Lu Haiying raised a question, “if we operate in several cities at once, won’t the funding chain get tight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tight is normal,” Yu Xing paused briefly. “But rent and materials won’t be too high. If it comes to it, I still have 15,000—I can inject it wherever needed. And Zhong Zhiling, before you leave for Lin’an, make another trip to the bank and apply for the student startup support loan—it’s still 20,000.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Zhiling hesitated two seconds: “That loan is in personal name, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lice don’t itch when there are too many,” Yu Xing replied succinctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Zhiling controlled his emotions, then, after his girlfriend left, couldn’t help asking: “Xing Ge, that 15,000 you mentioned—it sounds familiar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing confirmed his junior’s suspicion: “Yes. It’s the 15,000 you gave me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes Zhong Zhiling thought he really should be numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his heart still stirred involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xing Ge, if this company fails,” Zhong Zhiling said with sincere conviction before work, “seriously—if it fails, just kill me yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing watched his junior’s retreating back and felt deeply moved—what a good man his junior was. Even in the worst-case scenario, he wouldn’t kill himself—he’d ask Yu Xing to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this isn’t a good man, what is?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yu Xing contemplated future work, he handled daily tasks on campus and spoke with two capable team leaders—if they were willing to follow him to Shanghai, accommodation and meals would be covered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a day’s thought, both team leaders gave their answer—yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing was pleased and took them out to dinner that night, discussing the company’s future and team building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Yu Xing began preparing for his trip to Shanghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called his mistress to confirm she was home, bought gifts, and came to bid farewell on behalf of his junior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mistress, this is a razor I bought for Master, this is bird’s nest for you to replenish, and this doll is for Shan Shan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bought these with my own salary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the gifts, Yu Xing explained his spending with quiet pride as his mistress chattered on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey hey, Yu, didn’t you forget to buy another one?” Liu Wan emerged from the room just as Yu Xing was handing out gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing was startled: “Ying Jie, didn’t you say you were returning to Xiangjiang for work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am—but I haven’t left yet,” Liu Wan rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing felt a twinge of awkwardness. He shrugged: “Alright, Ying Jie, I’ve got a few questions for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan turned to go back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistress Yan Lirong called out: “Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying, just chat a bit—it won’t hurt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He never pays consultation fees,” Liu Wan complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her sister-in-law had turned back, Yan Lirong smiled warmly: “I heard your Master and I whispering—he says your company’s actually showing promise. Your junior called him yesterday—he said you made 100,000 in revenue this week. That’s impressive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely, it was 103,298—342 student orders and 2 counselor orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing poured tea for Ying Jie and smiled: “That’s company revenue—not what goes into our pockets. Most of it goes to employees.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still pretty good,” Liu Wan remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Ying Jie, do you think I can find investors in Shanghai? I want to accelerate further.” Yu Xing cut straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan thought a moment: “Find investors? My first thought is you’re planning to run away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing laughed bitterly: “I’m not running!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then there’s nothing much to say about meeting investors,” Liu Wan said casually. “Niche markets have little meat, little imagination. Big markets? Already dominated by Century Love, Zhen’ai.com, and Baihe.com. And those three could notice you any day and swoop in—your project isn’t safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She added: “I read your latest report—you fudged the numbers. Will you tell investors the real probability? Tell them, and you leak data; don’t tell them, and you can’t convince them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing objected: “Why can’t you convince them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The probability isn’t low enough, and the projected income won’t cover the eventual payout,” Liu Wan sipped her tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But in business terms, we can keep acquiring new customers and new money,” Yu Xing argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan smiled: “That logic won’t convince investors. If business slows suddenly, payout pressure hits—no one invests like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not? Everyone buys social insurance,” Yu Xing countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan scoffed: “Can you compare this to social insurance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing explained: “Exactly—it can’t be compared. That’s why I don’t charge much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan thought: “Let me put it this way—don’t be naive. Li Song, founder of Zhen’ai.com—he was at Morgan Stanley. His wife is Xu Xin—the venture queen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gong Haiyan of Century Love? Fudan graduate. The founders of Baihe.com? Tsinghua grads.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These resources don’t come from nowhere. If you go to investors, they might just call those three websites right away—do you a favor, and your company ends up in trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing pursed his lips and said sincerely: “Ying Jie, can you introduce me to a familiar investor? I’ll gladly give you shares in return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan smiled: “I can’t do that. First, grow your company—you might face threats sooner than you think.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing felt slight disappointment but immediately mentioned NetEase’s threat and his plan to leverage it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan frowned at the mention of NetEase—but her expression softened as she listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, she couldn’t help praising: “Turn threat into opportunity—hmm, yes. You’re the kind of ruthless person entrepreneurship needs. Probably just talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What talent?” Yu Xing quoted: “I have nothing else—only practice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else—just practiced after being scammed too many times.\u003C\u002Fp>",1122,"2026-06-19T22:51:34.189Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","017a3278f8e8812115bb69ca978228ffbb544af51ba081091955a738098ac057","what-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-chapter-34","what-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-chapter-32",328,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhat-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-cover.jpg"]
