Bai Ningbing smiled. After all, if he couldn’t even trust his own judgment, he would have withdrawn his investment long ago.
His investments were only for those he trusted and those close to him. In his mind, there was only one person he compared himself to in Lin Guanqi’s life, and that was his Jiaojiao. If his Jiaojiao ever said something that didn’t align with him, he would withdraw the investment immediately just to teach him a lesson. However, he wouldn’t truly be heartless enough to pull all the funds; he would only implement a few fake measures to scare him.
“Well, if you don’t believe me, be careful or I’ll withdraw all your funding. I’ll leave you to run this company alone, and then I won’t know if these people will still be willing to work here.”
Of course, the statement was a joke. Even if the relationship between the two of them completely dissolved, Bai Ningbing wouldn’t do such a thing. He hadn’t even acknowledged their relationship at first, preferring to make many sacrifices behind the scenes without seeking anything in return. Therefore, fundamentally, this was just an empty threat.
If he actually followed through, his Jiaojiao would probably never forgive him or speak to him again for the rest of her life. He knew which was more important. Feelings couldn’t be bought with money. Besides, money really wasn’t important in his eyes. If the two of them ever parted ways, he wouldn’t say a word of protest even if his Jiaojiao took his entire fortune.
“Oh, haven’t you seen everything I’ve done? Everything I do is definitely for the benefit of my employees. But don’t worry, even though we didn’t make it on this trip, we can definitely go next time. Sigh, I was actually thinking about taking a break and buying a ticket to leave just now, but I suddenly remembered there are many things I haven’t done. It’ll have to be next time.”
Bai Ningbing looked at the man’s clumsy acting and didn’t have the heart to expose him.
It wasn’t that Lin Guanqi had things to do; he clearly just wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible so he could slack off and rest. After all, he was never serious when he talked about serious business.
“Yes, yes, fine. What you’re doing is very serious, and we’re just getting in your way. I’ll leave first then. It’s a good time for me to go back and check on my silly sister. She’s probably doing experiments again and has forgotten to eat.”
After saying that, Bai Ningbing left.
He wasn’t sure if it was because the two of them had resolved their issues that day, but the relationship between Bai Ningbing and Bai Zhi was now excellent. Lin Guanqi felt very gratified seeing this.
After all, with the two of them getting along, it was equivalent to having two major backings. He didn’t have to fear anything happening out in the world. One was a great graduate researcher, and the other was the president of the great Bai Group. These two identities were more than enough to serve as shields.
No matter who it was, they wouldn’t dare offend such people.
He could practically walk sideways within the Dragon Kingdom now. As for abroad, he might need to consider his options, but that was only a matter of time. Domestically, there were no such concerns. No one dared to offend the Bai Group or a great researcher.
One was the economic lifeline of the Dragon Kingdom, while the other was the lifeline of its technological development. These two types of talents were highly sought after in any country. No one would be foolish enough to dream of offending them.
“Time to go play. Sigh, the thought of having another meeting the day after tomorrow is really annoying. I really don’t want to do this job at all.”

“What? You’re saying this industry track is already saturated? If we join now, we’ll only be eating leftovers? Well, tell me, how much are these leftovers worth?”
“Boss, I’m afraid these leftovers are worth over 100 million! It’s at least more profitable than our current textile business. Moreover, with livestream sales, we can move some of our discontinued products. E-commerce is really profitable right now; we can’t use an outdated mindset to define this anymore.”
Many companies were beginning to realize that e-commerce might be the only sales route for their products. Consequently, many had begun to train livestream anchors.
For a time, the livestreaming industry gained massive fame, especially the anchor sector. The company that founded this specific anchor industry was none other than the Linbing Company. they held a massive share of the market. Anyone who wanted a piece of the pie had to go through them, especially when it came to sending people in for training. This was the most critical part; as long as the training was successful, they could also launch a livestreaming system.
Lin Guanqi had no intention of keeping this a secret. Even if he hid it until the end, others would eventually train their own. It was better to make another sum of money from it instead. Why not? It also allowed them to owe him a favor.
“Everyone, I will consider this matter. After all, not everyone can become a livestream anchor. There must be some inherent talent involved, and that talent often defines whether you can become an excellent anchor. How about this? I’ll hold a lecture tomorrow. Anyone interested in becoming a livestream anchor can come.”
Interviewing them one by one would be exhausting. Why make things so complicated when a single lecture could settle everything? He didn’t even go to school anymore, spending every day starting businesses and making money. It was great. After all, the purpose of going to school was to make money anyway. Now he didn’t have to worry about loans or running out of funds.
‘I never thought that one day I could become rich by starting a business. Comparing this world to the other one, it’s simply unimaginable. In that world, I was a broke college graduate who couldn’t even find a job. In this world, I’ve become a company boss.’
He was supporting hundreds, even thousands of people, and was about to open branch offices. So many people wanted to join him, which would have been impossible in the other world. In the end, he really had to thank the System; otherwise, he would still be an unemployed college student.
However, the System had been increasingly inactive lately. He wondered what was happening to leave a host so lonely in this world, without even any missions.
It was likely because since that little white cat appeared, there had been no more monster invasions. It was almost like a mascot. But this was fine too; there was less fighting. He didn’t have to spend all his time killing.
Besides, he wasn’t particularly good at fighting anyway. He would always remember how the monsters had tormented and beaten him. It was for the best that similar events didn’t happen again. A bit of peace was good.
‘This little white cat always feels a bit unusual… but whatever, since everyone likes it.’
Ever since the white cat was born, he felt it was very abnormal. He constantly felt as if a pair of eyes was watching him from behind.
