Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 675 Lin Fan Pretends to be the Principal’s Assistant
Liu Mengjie forced a bitter smile; after all, she couldn’t escape Lin Fan’s eyes.
"Little Fan, I didn’t want to bother you with this matter, so I kept it from you. However, you still figured it out. Since that’s the case, I’ll just tell you directly. It’s like this: Our Yun City Music Academy is a private university and has always relied on the shareholders’ capital to sustain itself. As the principal, to put it bluntly, I’m just a worker employed by the capital. I have a deep attachment to the school; it’s indeed a very good school that helps students succeed. But recently, a few major players on the board have fallen out and withdrawn their investments, even wanting to sell the school’s assets. The school may face closure."
"I don’t want the school to close. The only thing I can do is to find new investors, but I have always been focused solely on teaching. I am completely unfamiliar with this kind of thing. I don’t know how to bring in investments, what to discuss. I only hope that what I do won’t harm the school or the students."
Lin Fan was a bit surprised; so, this kind of thing happened at Yun City Music Academy!
"And this is why you’ve suddenly become interested in finance?" Lin Fan smiled.
Liu Mengjie’s face flushed, "Yes, I’m an investment novice. I need to catch up on this field quickly, hoping I can use it during negotiations."
Lin Fan asked, "Why didn’t you come to me?"
Liu Mengjie sighed, earnestly saying, "Little Fan, with what I know about you, you would certainly not ignore my difficulties. You might even give me money, but I don’t want that. I don’t want a monetary relationship between us, because I know that once it’s involved, there will be risks."
Lin Fan uttered an "Oh," "What kind of risks?"
Liu Mengjie said, "I once had two good friends, really great friends, who played together from a young age. Their relationship was particularly strong- even stronger than real brothers. But later, they started a company together, everyone contributed money, and in the end, do you know what happened? They fell out over profit distribution, even went to court, and the company eventually closed down. They became enemies as if they had a deep-seated grudge, probably never interacting till death. Stories like these two friends’ are not uncommon; money is sometimes a devil." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Liu Mengjie hoped that her relationship with Lin Fan would be pure, untangled with financial interests because she cherished Lin Fan too much and couldn’t accept one day turning against him over money issues.
Therefore, even though she knew Lin Fan was Yun City’s richest man, not lacking money, she did not ask Lin Fan for help.
She wanted to solve this issue herself.
Lin Fan understood Liu Mengjie’s feelings well. Money was a good thing, but as Liu Mengjie said, sometimes it’s also a devil.
Why is money called a devil?
Because many people lose their boundaries, lose their rationality, even lose their humanity for money.
People could sell their bodies, their souls for money, betray love, friendship, and family.
Since ancient times, humanity has committed countless evils because of money.
For money, father and son turn against each other, brothers become enemies. These are not fresh stories anymore.
Liu Mengjie’s concern is certainly not without reason.
If he invested in Yun City Music Academy, it would involve a financial relationship with Liu Mengjie. In the future, the academy’s profits would relate to him. It’s possible the academy could be a failed project, no profit. Then would he continue investing? If he wishes to withdraw investment, would Liu Mengjie be happy?
In short, as long as financial interests are involved, his relationship with Liu Mengjie would risk breaking, and the odds were high.
That’s why people often say good friends shouldn’t do business together, as it usually ends poorly, often breaking apart in disagreements.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Sister Mengjie, I understand your feelings. Alright, I promise you, I won’t invest in Yun City Music Academy. There won’t be any financial entanglement between us, is that okay?"
Liu Mengjie breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, that’s good. Little Fan, don’t worry about this matter, just let me handle it."
Lin Fan said, "I won’t give you money, but can I offer you some advice?"
Liu Mengjie said, "That’s alright."
Lin Fan said, "Then, let me accompany you tonight. You are meeting with President Chen about investment matters, right? I’ll just listen in and help you check things over. How about that?"
Liu Mengjie thought for a moment, "Well, since I am indeed an investment novice. But Little Fan, what role should you play while going with me? If I introduce you as Yun City’s richest man, I’m afraid it might scare President Chen."
Lin Fan laughed, "That worry is indeed a bit funny. Let me accompany you as your assistant. If anything seems off, I’ll text you to ensure you won’t suffer losses."
In investments, there are many pitfalls. Liu Mengjie knows nothing and is easy to be taken advantage of, so having Lin Fan’s help gives her peace of mind.
Originally, Liu Mengjie was anxious, but hearing Lin Fan’s words, her heart settled down somehow. Liu Mengjie couldn’t help but think it’s truly great having Little Fan around.
Thus, Lin Fan and Liu Mengjie happily decided to meet President Chen together.
Dream KTV, inside a private room.
A portly middle-aged man sat in the booth, smoking a cigar. Beside him were two flamboyantly dressed women, accompanying him and eagerly encouraging him to drink.
"President Chen, I’ll toast to you." One woman raised her glass.
President Chen picked up his glass and drank it all.
"President Chen, what plans do you have tonight? How about letting the two of us accompany you?" Another woman giggled, brushing against President Chen’s hand casually.
Clearly an experienced player, quite the tease.
President Chen squinted, evaluating the two, then laughed, "If it were usual, tonight you two little vixens wouldn’t get away, but tonight is not possible."
"Ah, President Chen, why can’t it be tonight?" One woman pouted.
President Chen chuckled, "Because tonight I have a better choice. You two together wouldn’t match up to one of her fingers."
The two flamboyantly dressed women were a bit miffed but also very curious, "Hmph, President Chen, you’re exaggerating too much. Who is this person? We’re not even as good as one of her fingers?"
President Chen said, "Of course, this woman is a rare find I haven’t encountered in a long time. She’s the principal of a university music academy; can you compare?"
One woman giggled, "So President Chen likes this type, prefers older women!"
President Chen’s face turned sour instantly, "What older woman? Don’t assume principals are all old. This principal is younger than both of you. Haha, tonight I am truly blessed."
