You draw?

"Huh?"

Tang Yao was stunned when Li Xue said she really knew someone from venture capital. Then, she suddenly reacted, turned sideways abruptly, her perky, round body lifting off the chair, and leaned directly towards Li Xue, pressing more than half of her body against her. "Really? Miss Li! Really?"

"Don't get too excited first."

Li Xue reached out and supported Tang Yao's slender waist, preventing her from falling onto her, and began to comfort her.

At the same time, she lowered her head and glanced subtly at the waist her hands were holding.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Tang Yao's figure was still better than Li Xue had imagined.

It was the first time she experienced what it meant to be "slender and graspable." From what she saw during the feeding just now, Tang Yao hadn't eaten little, so where did all that food go...

Hmm...

Li Xue's gaze slowly moved upward, looking at the full, trembling curves so close at hand, and she didn't think further.

Because she already knew the answer.

She slowly released Tang Yao's waist, then gently put her arm around her, and comforted her again. "Calm down first. It's true that I know someone from venture capital, and he's even a manager, but are you sure you can convince him to get investment?"

"..."

Tang Yao instantly calmed down upon hearing this.

Right.

Although she didn't know much about this area, she had read some inspirational books. It seemed that in the investment world, creativity was worthless because these venture capitalists saw new ideas every day. What they valued most was people.

And with her current appearance, temperament, and conditions.

It probably wouldn't work.

It felt too unreliable.

Tang Yao thought about this, slowly calmed down, and sat back down.

Seeing Tang Yao calm down, Li Xue breathed a sigh of relief, slowly let go of her, then moved her chair closer to Tang Yao and explained, "I'm not very familiar with that person either. Although we're considered relatives, we're not close. I've only seen him a few times when visiting relatives during the New Year."

"Also, the person who once told me that mobile was the future was him... but even so, he also mentioned to me that he mainly looks at people when choosing investment targets. According to him, he's very good at judging people, and he can tell at a glance who is trying to scam money and who won't succeed.

Honestly, what you just said doesn't seem very reliable to me, so I don't think you'll get investment even if I introduce you...

I don't know about your eloquence, but you don't have any past resume that could be considered impressive, do you?"

"Is that so..."

Although Tang Yao was mentally prepared, she still felt a bit disappointed.

Meanwhile.

Li Xue saw the bright and beautiful little face of the girl beside her instantly fall, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, looking utterly dejected. She suddenly felt a pang of sympathy.

She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and put her arm around Tang Yao's waist, gently shaking her, and said subconsciously, "Actually, if you really want to try, I can lend you money. One hundred... no, I can come up with about 1.1 million. Although I don't agree with you taking the risk."

"..."

Tang Yao slowly looked up upon hearing this and gazed at the mature older sister type in front of her, blinking her eyes. "Miss Li, could it be that you're a sugar mama?"

Honestly.

Let alone the time they had known each other.

Just the mention of 1.1 million yuan had startled her.

She felt like she was scamming a lonely old person.

"Don't look at me like this. I'm a deputy editor-in-chief, after all, and my work experience is longer than yours. My family background is also decent, and I have a good habit of saving money."

Actually, to be honest.

After suggesting this, Li Xue didn't regret it, but she felt like she had gone crazy. She couldn't find a man to spend money on for so long, only to end up finding a woman in the end.

But seeing Tang Yao seriously asking if she was a sugar mama.

She suddenly felt it was quite reasonable, even having the feeling that it was okay to spend all her money on her in the future.

This was no longer a matter of "chemistry" or "getting along."

Li Xue suspected she might be too lonely...

After all, she was an only child and didn't have any true confidantes.

"Let's forget it. I don't want our relationship to be tainted by dirty money."

Although Tang Yao was tempted for a moment, she quickly dismissed the idea and shook her head, half-jokingly saying, "Besides, if I spend your money and it really fails, you'll lose your dowry, and I won't even be able to sell myself to you... But venture capital is different. Please introduce me to that venture capital manager. I have a general idea in mind, and I can explain the pie... no, the idea completely and try my best to make a case."

When it involved money, it was too dangerous.

Tang Yao truly didn't want to lose their rare, pure friendship.

After all, Li Xue, this elder sister, was the first friend she had made since coming to this world.

"Is that so..."

For some reason, Li Xue felt a bit disappointed, especially when she heard Tang Yao mention selling herself.

However, this feeling came and went quickly.

Soon, she got down to business. "Do you really have to try this? Honestly, if you need money, I can lend it to you, but this kind of life-altering action is just too risky, and I don't even understand what you're talking about..."

"How about this? Talking about it now is too vague. I'll spend this week creating some beautiful girl illustrations and a PPT, explaining how it works, how to use manga for traffic, and what kind of manga it is, all in writing."

Tang Yao heard this and, after a moment of thought, said seriously, "Then I'll explain it to you systematically. If you think it's feasible, you can introduce that venture capital manager to me then. If you still think it's not, then just reject me... How about that?"

"This... are you sure you want to do this?"

Li Xue still wanted to persuade her, but seeing Tang Yao's serious expression, she knew the answer.

So, she didn't continue to persuade her but nodded solemnly, "Okay."

"Thank you."

Tang Yao let out a sigh of relief and thanked her with a smile as bright as a flower.

A benefactor?

Is this what they call a benefactor?

"But before that, what about the manga award? You still need to find a replacement manga artist, don't you?"

Seeing the smile on Tang Yao's face, Li Xue also smiled gently, but she still had to pour some cold water. "In this situation, you still want to find someone to draw these so-called beautiful girls... Can you really find anyone?"

"I've already resolved the manga award issue."

Tang Yao replied casually, "I drew one myself last night. I was just about to show it to you and get your opinion. As for beautiful girls, there's no need to find anyone else. No one understands beautiful girls better than I do."

"Eh?"

Li Xue was stunned.

"Hmm?"

Tang Yao turned her head, blinked, and met her gaze.

"You can draw?"

"Yeah, didn't I tell you? I don't think I did... I originally wanted to become a manga artist."

"Eh??? Really???"

Li Xue released Tang Yao's waist, her beautiful eyes widening. She was so shocked by this sudden development that she couldn't speak.

My manga editor colleague can also draw manga? What kind of manga plot is this!

"...You'll know when you see it."

Tang Yao picked up the file bag beside her and handed it to Li Xue, joking, "You're the first reader, Miss Li."

"..."

Li Xue's red lips parted, revealing her white teeth. After dazedly taking the file bag from Tang Yao, she seemed to snap back to reality and stammered, "You, I... you really drew it?"

"Yeah, I really drew it. You can take a look."

Tang Yao looked at her expectantly.

Li Xue looked at Tang Yao, then down at the file bag in her hands, and finally regained her composure.

She drew it herself?

Is this really how it's going to play out?

No, wait, how could it play out like this!

Hold on, is it just a hobby or something, and she's forcing herself to draw? Then...

Looking at the expectant girl before her, Li Xue suddenly felt a sense of unease because she felt Tang Yao seemed too deeply invested.

"..."

Thinking this.

Li Xue took a deep breath, slowly opened the file bag, and made up her mind to persuade Tang Yao to wake up without hurting her feelings.

Right.

Her thoughts raced.

Li Xue opened the file bag and took out the manuscript inside.
