Chapter 67: My Whole Life Is For You

“If you don’t want such a great job, then I’ll take it. After all, it’s very hard to find — extremely hard to find.”

A company with such good benefits… they even only require a startup report from you, and you can even decide the direction yourself. Even if you don’t succeed, they won’t blame you; they’ll even provide a consolation payout.

Speaking of startup plans, an idea suddenly formed in his mind.

Lin Guanqi immediately ordered people to collect three startup reports. Of course, these reports were filtered from the previous forms. The ones deemed too advanced or too outdated had been organized; they would only be classified as feasible or unfeasible.

As for those that were feasible, as long as funds were sufficient in the later stages, his entire company would gradually move into production. Those that were unfeasible or couldn’t be realized would be slowly filtered out.

For example, the next one.

The livestreaming sales track plan — the reason he established this livestreaming track was specifically because he had seen this unfavorable report, which gave him the idea. If it hadn’t been for that, he wouldn’t have had this thought at all.

“So, if I handle this matter, do you think I’ll make a fortune? Bai Ningbing, why aren’t you answering me? Do you not approve of my project?”

Bai Ningbing’s occasional helplessness was not without reason.

He was always dreaming of making it big. This project of his hadn’t even stabilized yet, and he was already thinking about the next one. While the urgency to make money was understandable, now wasn’t the time for that.

Instead, he needed to consolidate. If he couldn’t even manage that, what difference would it make?

Every project he touched would turn into a disaster. ‘Does my Jiaojiao not understand such a simple truth?’ However, as his lover, he felt it necessary to educate him.

“Jiaojiao, remember this well: as businesspeople, we can’t rush our projects. If you rush, things won’t go smoothly. If they don’t go smoothly, you won’t be able to do them well. But if you finish one task properly before starting another, you won’t feel any pressure. You’ll think, ‘Wow, this is actually really simple.’ But if you move on before finishing the first, you’ll always be worrying about the results of the previous one. If those results are bad, it will affect your next outcome. Do you understand?” Bai Ningbing never shared these business tactics with others, but he told him alone, which was enough to show Lin Guanqi’s importance in his heart.

Hearing Bai Ningbing’s lecture, he seemed to feel something, so he pulled back the startup plans he had intended to execute. He was right; every time a project was started, it had to be consolidated, and its future feasibility, profit, and potential conflicts had to be thoroughly reviewed. How would it make money? How would it be monetized? This way, the project could run perfectly. If there were any surprises, he could focus his energy on handling them without worrying about subsequent projects.

It was simply brilliant. This way, he wouldn’t have any lingering concerns.

But if he started another project now, the outcome would be different.

Because he hadn’t seen the first matter through to the end, he would be distracted by shifting focus to another track. Then he wouldn’t do well in either track. Even if he could overlook it himself, the shareholders wouldn’t let him mess around like that. After all, the money didn’t all come from him; everyone had invested together to develop the project. Whether it was a livestreaming track or an ecosystem, there had to be a step-by-step progression.

If a project lost money under normal circumstances, the shareholders wouldn’t say a word.

But if the loss was due to negligence, it would be strange if the shareholders didn’t demand compensation. Bai Ningbing had been in the business world for many years; he knew all the tricks and potential conflicts, so naturally, he didn’t want anyone to reveal these things.

Besides, anyone else might harm him, but Bai Ningbing never would.

Lin Guanqi then asked a question.

“Since you spoil me so much, aren’t you afraid of ruining me? What if you leave me one day and I can’t take care of myself? Or what if I leave and take all your assets with me? Won’t you be angry?” Bai Ningbing acted as if he had heard something hilarious. He immediately covered his mouth and laughed before speaking.

“Forget taking all my assets — even if you killed me in broad daylight, I’d be willing. Do you know? I live my life for you. If I lost you, my life would have no meaning.”

“Regardless of whether I’m doing well, I hope you are. Only when you’re doing well can I be happy. Even if I die, I’ll hope for your well-being.”

Hearing those words, Lin Guanqi’s eyes instantly welled up. He hadn’t expected someone to worry about him even when they were facing their own end. However, he didn’t want him to die; he wanted him to live for 100 years, with fortune as vast as the sea and longevity like the southern mountains. Otherwise, who would accompany him in the future? Who would play with all those new things with him? No one. Since arriving in this world, many people had been just passing through — friends at best. No one could talk to him or spoil him like Bai Ningbing. No one except him.

Therefore, he hoped more than anyone that Bai Ningbing would live healthily. After all, it wasn’t just about his identity; he also carried the livelihoods of many people on his back. If he was gone, wouldn’t many people lose their jobs? Besides, he didn’t truly want Bai Ningbing’s assets. The company he managed himself was enough to last him for half a lifetime.

“Alright, I was just teasing you. Don’t take it seriously. You have to live a long, healthy life. Otherwise, even if you die, I’ll go to the underworld and drag you back. If you’re gone, no one will play with me. If I get bored, I’ll come down there to find you, understand? So you must stay healthy and live well. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to die!”
