After spending some time abroad, Lin Guanqi’s project finally took root back home.
Of course, Bai Ningbing also provided a lot of help along the way.
But in the eyes of many, Lin Guanqi’s project was nothing but a joke, something they thought would never make any money.
Yet in Bai Ningbing’s view, this was a project full of potential, and if it developed well, it would surely bring in a fortune.
“Eh, none of them believe I can pull this off. You’re the only one who believes in me.”
Lin Guanqi slumped over the table, feeling a bit defeated.
The feeling of being trusted is such a joy—especially when it comes from someone closest to you.
Bai Ningbing hugged Lin Guanqi, then gently patted her head.
“If I don’t believe in you, who will?”
These words were not said in jest, but full of true emotion.
For Bai Ningbing, money was really nothing but something external—what she wanted was simply a stable relationship, nothing more.
As for Lin Guanqi, the reason she wanted to build something herself might be hard for others to understand.
But the reason was actually quite simple—she wanted to become someone who could stand on her own, instead of just waiting helplessly for others to help whenever a crisis or threat arose. That was not the life she wanted.
“I have to take this project seriously. I can’t let anyone look down on it!”
Being motivated is a good thing, and with a little encouragement from Bai Ningbing, it was even better.
“Great! That’s the spirit! I believe my Jiaojiao can definitely accomplish something remarkable!”
With praise from both sides, Lin Guanqi was now full of energy.
She now had absolute confidence in handling the new project.
“Mm!”
With that, Lin Guanqi took this matter even more seriously and carefully, determined not to let even a single mistake slip by.
And Bai Ningbing and Lin Guanqi were truly a perfect match—one to take action, the other to execute.
Bai Ningbing assigned one of her branch companies to Lin Guanqi, and with the support of the branch, Lin Guanqi suddenly had plenty of helping hands.
This meant the project could progress even faster.
The first step was talent recruitment. In this world, it seemed no one thought the streamer profession was a big trap; there weren’t any so-called “guilds” yet that exploited people. With human nature’s innate curiosity, people would surely be interested—what kind of job is this?
Precisely because of that, there would definitely be many who wanted to give it a try.
Lin Guanqi saw this opportunity clearly, and so, this thing had a high chance of success.
With no interfering incubators or guilds, Lin Guanqi’s future prospects were boundless.
If she wished, Lin Guanqi didn’t have to limit herself to just this industry—she could expand to group streaming, e-commerce, and all sorts of new media.
“So how will you recruit people? Will you only hire girls? Looking at this, it seems more suited for girls.”
Lin Guanqi shook her head. Actually, that wasn’t the case—a lot of guys were good at this too, and some were excellent at selling things. In the other world, there was no end to the strange kinds of live streamers.
Now, there was also a short video platform with musical notes, though it wasn’t very popular—maybe because of the magical elements here. People in this world didn’t seem too interested in short video content.
Bai Ningbing hadn’t really considered it before—Lin Guanqi’s business acumen was something she never noticed, especially since she’d had no such experience in her past life either.
She had doubted the world, doubted magical girls, doubted herself, but never doubted Lin Guanqi.
After living one life in two worlds, wouldn’t that experience be rich enough?
But according to the timeline, there seemed to be a big time difference between the two worlds. Here, a year would pass, but over there, it was barely a day.
Calculating that time difference was a headache, so Lin Guanqi simply decided not to think about it.
“Now that our Jiaojiao is starting her own company, shouldn’t you give your company a name?”
“Give it a name?”
Lin Guanqi hesitated for a moment. She really hadn’t thought about naming the company.
Lin Guanqi… Bai Ningbing.
Suddenly, she thought about both of their names. Maybe she could come up with something suitable from the two of them.
“How about Linbing Group?”
“Linbing Group?”
“Lin Guanqi… Lin, Bai Ningbing, Bing. Looks like they’re pieced together from our names. Sounds good!”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ningbing nodded.
Um, of course that would do! Combining both names into one company name—what could be better?
“The name I pick can’t be bad. Since we’re both putting in the effort to build this company, of course the name should be something we share.”
“Is that so? With your heart set on this, I’m truly happy. With that kind of conviction, I think helping you is the best choice.”
What Bai Ningbing relied on wasn’t just the relationship between the two.
As a businesswoman, of course she had to care about profits.
And she truly did think there was money to be made in this.
So she agreed to help run things.
Of course, there were risks. And where there are risks, you need countermeasures. But with their strong relationship, there was really no need to be overly cautious, and nothing in particular needed to be provided.
This entrepreneurial plan and all the safety measures had been managed entirely by Bai Ningbing herself.
“I believe you’ll definitely pull this off. After all, you’re my Jiaojiao. There’s nothing you can’t do, so I believe in you!”
With Bai Ningbing as such a strong supporter behind her,
Lin Guanqi didn’t need to worry about anything she wanted to do.
“All right! With your support, I’ll go all out with this—and I’ll definitely succeed!”
Full of confidence.
So, Lin Guanqi began preparations in earnest. The most critical part of this project was how to recruit people, and secure a long-term contract.
But even with a long-term contract, that was just the beginning. It wasn’t as if you could start work right after signing—they’d still need to go through a period of training. That training period was very dull and tedious; not many people could stick with it, let alone new streamers who’d just signed up.
“But I’m not sure if they’ll stick it out. After all, this kind of thing…”
Lin Guanqi still had no intention of revealing things about the other world. She thought that might get her caught by the world’s rules—since magic already existed, and so did systems, it wouldn’t surprise her if something else happened.
