Sometimes, even Taita thought... He Yue was just... seriously ridiculous.
She was so confident, convinced someone would support her no matter what she did.
"When will we be that rich?" He Yue's voice suddenly turned soft and coy.
Taita felt sick.
He Yue really did treat him like an ATM.
"We've secured the rights to this IP, but our biggest problem right now is... money." Taita sighed. "Even with Gu Luosheng's help, we still need a huge amount."
"How much?" He Yue asked. "Is this IP guaranteed to make money?"
"Of course. Everyone's scrambling to get their hands on this major IP. Whoever gets it is guaranteed a profit. Becoming the richest person in the world would be a breeze."
He Yue's eyes burned with desire.
"But we're still five million short." Taita sounded deeply worried.
"Five million?" He Yue fell silent for a moment. "Why so much?"
"The rougher the seas, the more valuable the fish. Likewise, the bigger the investment, the bigger the return. You invest up front, then sit back and rake it in. That's how this works," Taita explained unhurriedly.
He Yue nodded in wholehearted agreement. "Taita, I've always said you're amazing. You're definitely someone who can achieve great things."
Taita asked, "Then why did you leave me back then?"
"I... didn't I tell you? I was in poor health, but I didn't want you to worry. I went abroad for treatment during that time."
He Yue really was clever. Those lies rolled right off her tongue.
Fortunately... Taita wasn't stupid, either.
"Oh."
"Taita, I'll find a way to get you the five million. I still have two million on hand. If I borrow from friends and relatives, I should be able to scrape together another three million. That should cover it," He Yue said excitedly.
