Bai Ningbing smiled. After all, if he couldn’t even trust himself, he would have to withdraw his investment.
His investments were only for those he trusted and those close to him. Compared to himself, there was only one person who truly mattered—his Qiaoqiao. If Qiaoqiao ever said anything that didn’t align with him, he would withdraw the funds immediately to teach them a lesson. However, he wouldn’t truly have the heart to pull everything; he would only implement some fake measures as a warning.
“Well, if you don’t believe me, be careful or I might pull 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, he was joking. Even if there were no longer any relationship between them, Bai Ningbing wouldn’t do that. He hadn’t even revealed his identity at first, choosing instead to contribute so much behind the scenes without seeking anything in return. Fundamentally, this was just a scare tactic.
If he actually did it, his Qiaoqiao would probably never forgive him or speak to him again. He knew what was truly important. Feelings couldn’t be bought with money. Besides, money wasn’t important to him. Even if they parted ways and Qiaoqiao took all his assets, he wouldn’t say a word in protest.
“Oh, haven’t you seen everything I’ve done? My actions are definitely for the benefit of my employees. Don’t worry, though. Even though we didn’t make it on this trip, we’ll definitely go next time. Sigh, I was actually thinking of resting and buying a ticket to leave, but I suddenly remembered there’s so much work left to do. It’ll have to be next time.”
Bai Ningbing looked at the man’s clumsy acting, not having 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 talking about serious matters.
“Yes, yes, fine. What you’re doing is very serious. We’re just getting in your way. I’ll head out then. It’s the perfect time to go back and check on my silly sister. She’s probably doing experiments again and forgot to eat.”
With that, Bai Ningbing left.
Perhaps it was because they had opened up to each other that day, but Bai Ningbing and Bai Zhi’s relationship was now excellent. Lin Guanqi felt very relieved seeing this.
With the two of them getting along, it was like having two pillars of support. He wouldn’t have to fear anything happening out there. One was a great Researcher, and the other was the President of the great Bai Group. These two identities were more than enough to serve as his backing.
They were the kind of existence that no one would dare offend.
He could practically walk tall anywhere within Long Country. As for abroad, he might need to consider it, but that was only a matter of time. Domestically, there was no such concern. No one would dare offend the Bai Group or a great Researcher.
One was the economic lifeline of Long Country, and the other was its technological lifeblood. These two talents would be highly sought after in any nation.
No one would be foolish enough to dream of offending them.
“Time to play! Sigh, just thinking about the meeting the day after tomorrow is so 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 get the leftovers? Then tell me, how much are these leftovers worth?”
“Boss, I’m afraid even the leftovers are worth over 100 million! It’s at least more profitable than our current textile business. Besides, with livestream sales, we can move our discontinued products. E-commerce is really profitable right now; we can’t use old-fashioned ideas to define this anymore.”
Many companies were beginning to realize that e-commerce might be their only sales route for marketing products, so many began training livestream hosts.
For a time, the livestreaming industry gained massive fame, especially the host sector. The company that founded this host industry was none other than Linbing Company. They held a massive share of the market. Many who wanted a piece of the pie needed their permission, especially when it came to sending people there for training. This was the top priority. As long as the training was successful, they could also start their own livestreaming system.
Lin Guanqi didn’t intend to keep this a secret. Even if he hid it until the end, they would eventually train their own people. It was better to make a profit from it now—why not? It would also make them owe him a favor.
“Everyone, I’ll consider this matter. After all, not everyone can become a livestream host. There’s definitely a certain level of talent involved, and that talent often determines whether you can become an excellent host. How about this: I’ll hold a lecture tomorrow. Anyone interested in becoming a livestream host can attend.”
Interviewing them one by one would be exhausting. Why make it so complicated when it could be settled with a single lecture? He wasn’t even going to school anymore, just staying here to start a business and make money. How great was that? After all, the purpose of school was to make money. Now he didn’t have to worry about loans or running out of cash.
‘I never expected that one day I could become wealthy through entrepreneurship. Compared to the other world, this was simply unthinkable.’ In that world, he had been a penniless college graduate who couldn’t even find a job. In this world, he was the boss of a company. He supported 100 people—even 1,000—and was about to open a branch. So many people wanted to join him. None of this would have been possible in the other world. ‘In the end, I really have to thank the System. Otherwise, I’d still be a jobless college student.’
However, the System had been getting less and less active lately. He wondered what was happening to leave a host so lonely in this world, without even any missions.
It was likely because no more monsters had invaded since that little white cat appeared. It was as if the cat were a lucky mascot. Still, this was fine. There was less fighting. He didn’t have to spend all his time killing.
Besides, he wasn’t good at the whole “killing and fighting” thing. 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 little peace was good.
‘This little white cat always feels a bit unusual, but whatever. Everyone likes it anyway.’
Ever since the cat was born, he felt it was abnormal. He always felt like a pair of eyes was staring at him from behind.
