Chapter 147 Investors
Song Yafei then brought up Professor Xie and his studio again.
She spoke frankly to me about the crisis facing her studio, saying, "It's all over the place. Do you need my help?"
Has she become this cautious?
In the past, she would do whatever she wanted without ever consulting me beforehand.
I don't know whether to be happy or sad about her change.
Actually, I was conflicted. Maybe the simplest solution would be to ask Song Yafei for investment.
But perhaps the conditions are also the most demanding, because I may not be able to give you what I want.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Song Yafei didn't press me. "Okay, take your time to think about it. Just let me know when you need to."
She stayed at my place again that night, but I didn't have time to deal with her because of things at the studio.
But I was very annoyed, both because of her staying overnight and because of the studio.
When I got up the next morning, Song Yafei was still resting inside.
I took my phone and made several calls from the balcony outside, mostly to contact former clients.
However, since I hadn't worked for many years, many of them were skeptical of me.
In the end, only three companies adopted a wait-and-see attitude, which was much worse than I had expected.
When I came back from the balcony, Song Yafei was already sitting at the dining table, waving at me. I had been a little absent-minded all morning.
She didn't have much of an appetite for breakfast, and after only a couple of bites, she went out with Song Yafei.
The work at the studio was far more difficult than I had imagined.
In the past few days, I contacted several of the women I had previously spoken to, hoping to get some investment from them, but none of them were willing.
It's not that they aren't interested, but they're very pessimistic about Professor Xie's global exhibition.
Finally, I contacted Mrs. Li, who is Professor Xie's sister-in-law and Xie Wenyao's aunt.
Strangely enough, Mrs. Li did not invest; I wonder why.
I'm eager to know the reason behind this so I can find the right solution.
I have an appointment with Mrs. Li today.
Mrs. Li was very happy to see me at the coffee shop.
She looked like she was going shopping, with the driver following behind her carrying large and small bags.
At the entrance of the coffee shop, Mrs. Li sent the driver back.
After taking her seat, Mrs. Li immediately took a sip of coffee, put down her cup, and said, "I'm so thirsty. I had arranged to go shopping with some ladies, and I'm exhausted."
"I'll order you a glass of water."
Before she could speak, I called the waiter.
After the water was brought, Madam Li drank half a cup in one go.
Just as I relaxed a bit, Mrs. Li teased me, "You've been quite active in our circle lately!"
I frowned, not understanding what Madam Li meant.
Madam Li, belatedly realizing this, looked as if she understood, saying, "So you didn't know that before."
Mrs. Li then told me, "During this time, your Mr. Song has been running around and racking his brains for you."
Perhaps it was recent troubles that had bothered Song Yafei; good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast, and that's how those false rumors started circulating.
Right now, I don't care about those things; what's important is the studio.
When I mentioned the studio to Mrs. Li, she seemed rather embarrassed, but unlike others, she didn't give me the perfunctory answer.
“Zhang Tian, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. Logically speaking, Professor Xie is still my brother-in-law, so I have to lend him a hand no matter what.”
"But as you know, the situation has been bad these past two years, and things haven't been easy for my husband either. Professor Xie's global exhibition this time is really a bit of a pipe dream."
Businessmen don't do business at a loss, and that may be why they are unwilling to invest.
I can't deny it; after all, it's reality.
“However,” Mrs. Li suddenly changed the subject, becoming somewhat mysterious, “While I can’t invest myself, I’ve found you an investor. Interested?”
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better!
"Really?" I was a little incredulous, not expecting Mrs. Li to be so helpful. "If we can really find a sponsor, we will be so grateful to you, Madam."
Madam Li quickly waved her hand, "No rush, you should thank yourself when you see the person."
Thank yourself?
What do you mean?
I was a bit confused and didn't understand what Madam Li meant.
Mrs. Li suddenly brought up some topics she had heard recently.
"Recently, the most talked-about topic in this circle is you and President Song. I never expected that President Song would give up such a big project for you."
"Just to help you solve your problem, she's really changed a lot compared to before, can you feel it?"
I noticed the changes in her, but it always felt unreal to me.
However, I had never heard of the matter that Madam Li mentioned.
Was it because of Lin Qiuran's matter that she suffered great losses?
She never mentioned it to me.
Didn't Assistant Luo say before that they had already taken care of things over there?
How could this be?
My mind is filled with countless questions.
What surprised me even more was that I actually met Song Yafei here.
She also arranged to meet her client here?
Following my gaze, Mrs. Li also saw Song Yafei approaching, but she was not surprised at all, and even waved to her.
If I haven't figured out a reason for this situation, I'd be incredibly stupid.
After Song Yafei arrived, Madam Li had already stood up and said with a smile, "I won't disturb you two on your date."
She picked up her bag from the sofa. "Zhang Tian, I will personally provide a grant to the studio. The rest is up to you. I'm leaving now."
Then he left.
After watching Mrs. Li leave, Song Yafei had already ordered coffee.
I was somewhat displeased.
When she offered to help, I didn't agree. Now she's contacting me through someone else. What does that mean?
Why should we agree to Mrs. Li's request?
Song Yafei calmly raised an eyebrow. "What reason is there not to agree?"
“You know perfectly well that I don’t want you involved in the studio’s affairs, and even if you teach him, he might not accept it.”
Because of what happened with Yu Chengliang last time, Professor Xie did have some reservations about Song Yafei.
After the waiter brought the coffee, Song Yafei stirred it before speaking leisurely.
"By the afternoon, almost everyone in the industry knew about your investment efforts this morning."
"As the husband of the president of the Song Group, how can I tolerate having to beg others in such a humble manner?"
Isn't that how it is when you're doing business outside?
I'm just an ordinary person.
I couldn't help but retort, "They're both getting a divorce anyway, so what's the big deal!"
Song Yafei, however, thought differently, "My man doesn't need that!"
Her domineering declaration left me... completely speechless.
"Besides, if you ask others for help outside, people who don't know the situation will think that something has happened to the Song family. It's only tens of millions, it's not a big deal."
I hadn't realized there was this level of consideration involved.
"Didn't you say you'd cooperate with me in everything when we're out? Why are you refusing now?"
