Li Li spent a full hour reading through the contract.
After finishing, Li Li took a deep breath.
He never expected that Ye Chen's plan would be so perfect.
Now he felt that Ye Chen asking for fifty-five percent of the shares was truly a fair price.
Li Li was now completely won over by Ye Chen.
This proposal was something the Ye Chen of his past life could never have written.
However, reborn into this life, Ye Chen was standing on the shoulders of giants; he had witnessed the glory and decline of Shared Bikes.
Naturally, he also knew how to ensure the development of Shared Bikes took fewer detours.
Otherwise, no one would have been able to write such a detailed proposal.
"Uncle Li, what do you think of my proposal?"
Li Li nodded vigorously. "It's amazing, simply breathtaking."
"Then I'll leave the upcoming operations to you, Uncle Li. Si Tong and I will just prepare to sit back and collect the money!"
"Mm, a pleasure doing business with you."
Li Li and Ye Chen shook hands.
To the side, Li Sitong rested her chin in her hands, looking at her Boyfriend with growing pride.
And so, the first business partnership between Ye Chen and Li Sitong began... Back at home, Li Li was still very excited as he looked over Ye Chen's proposal.
"Dad, is Ye Chen's proposal really that good?"
Li Li nodded. "Of course. I'm extremely satisfied with this proposal. To be honest, I had many concerns before, but Ye Chen considered every single one of them."
As he spoke, Li Li couldn't help but marvel, "I really don't know how Ye Chen could come up with such a perfect proposal."
Li Sitong smiled. "Dad, then I'll leave it to you. Your daughter is ready to just sit back and collect the money."
Li Li shook his head helplessly. "By the way, have you told Ye Chen about your plan to go to the Film Academy?"
Li Sitong said, "Not yet. I was thinking of telling him in a bit."
Li Li nodded. "Daughter, no matter what decision you make, your father will support you."
Li Li had always felt that he owed his daughter too much.
In fact, with Li Li's status, finding a stepmother would have been very easy.
However, Li Li could never let go of Si Tong's mother.
His heart could no longer hold anyone else.
Therefore, Li Li doted on his daughter even more.
"Dad, I'm going to sleep now." Li Sitong smiled and slipped into her bedroom.
Si Tong: "Ye Chen, congratulations! You've become a boss right after graduation."
Ye Chen: "Congratulations to us both."
Si Tong: "Ye Chen, I want to video chat with you, is that okay?"
Ye Chen: "Sure."
After pressing the video chat button, the screen showed Li Sitong looking adorable in her pajamas.
Ye Chen: "Si Tong, those pajamas are so cute."
Si Tong: "Of course they are. Pretty, right?"
Ye Chen: "They're alright."
Si Tong: "What do you mean 'alright'?"
Ye Chen: "Compared to sexy, cute is still a bit lacking!"
Si Tong: "You bad egg, do you want me to wear sexy pajamas?"
Thinking about herself wearing sexy pajamas, Li Sitong's face couldn't help but flush red.
This guy was getting more and more wicked.
Always thinking about taking advantage of her.
Ye Chen: "Unfortunately, you don't have any."
Having his little scheme exposed by Li Sitong, Ye Chen asked again, unwilling to give up.
"Hmph, reverse psychology won't work on me. I really don't have any. However, if you like them, I could consider... going to buy one."
After thinking for a moment, Li Sitong spoke shyly.
"Really?" Ye Chen's eyes lit up.
"Wow, I really love this benefit," Ye Chen said excitedly.
"Tch, I was just teasing you. In your dreams." Li Sitong couldn't help but blink her eyes playfully.
"Don't be like that, I'm serious. How about I go with you to buy them?"
Ye Chen knew Li Sitong too well. This girl claimed she wouldn't buy them, but her eyes clearly betrayed her.
"Hmph, I'm a girl buying pajamas, and you're a grown man following along. Don't you have any shame?"
Li Sitong's face turned slightly red.
"Why should I be ashamed? What era is this? Your mindset is too old-fashioned."
"Besides, isn't wearing sexy pajamas meant for your Boyfriend to see?"
Li Sitong was completely defeated by Ye Chen.
"Hmph, you bad person, I'm ignoring you. By the way, there's something I want to discuss with you." Li Sitong's expression became somewhat serious.
Ye Chen looked at Li Sitong. "Why so serious all of a sudden?"
Li Sitong said, "Ye Chen, I want to apply for the Film Academy. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Huaqing University with you."
"Apply for the Film Academy?" Ye Chen was actually mentally prepared for this decision of Li Sitong's.
Because in his past life, Li Sitong's grades were excellent, and she eventually chose the Film Academy then too.
"Why?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled.
Li Sitong told Ye Chen the story of her mother.
Ye Chen nodded. "Mm, I support you. Don't worry, I will be the man behind you and will definitely help you fulfill your mother's wish."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Li Sitong was so moved that her eyes turned red.
The next day!
Ye Chen and Xia Yingluo took a bus to Hangzhou early in the morning.
Hangzhou was very close to Jiangcheng, only an hour's drive away.
Sitting on the bus, Ye Chen felt very uncomfortable.
After all, there were all sorts of people on the bus.
The air was thick with a mix of various smells.
Although Ye Chen wasn't a delicate person, he felt bad for Xia Yingluo.
It seemed he would have to buy a car soon.
Ye Chen was already a multi-millionaire; buying a car would be effortless.
Before, in High School, buying a car wasn't very useful.
It was different now; he had graduated, and he would need to handle matters for the Hot Pot Restaurant in the future, so a car was very necessary for Ye Chen.
Originally, Li Sitong was going to come along too, but because she had to prepare for the Film Academy's Artistic Entrance Exam, she had to give it up.
Many people couldn't understand Li Sitong's decision to apply for the Film Academy.
After all, with Li Sitong's grades, getting into Huaqing University was a guaranteed success.
However, only Ye Chen knew that Li Sitong was doing it to fulfill her mother's dream.
Ye Chen knew that Li Sitong's future achievements in the acting world would be impressive even on her own.
Now, with Ye Chen behind her, becoming a superstar was only a matter of time.
Ye Chen set Hangzhou as the first target for expansion and had specifically contacted a beef and mutton processing plant.
After all, for opening shops in Kyoto, Hangzhou served as a national transportation hub, making it very convenient to transport various raw materials to Kyoto.
Moreover, with Hangzhou as the center, they could radiate out to the entire country.
By the time the two got off the bus, it was already noon.
Immediately, they took a taxi to the hotel they had booked... The hotel was booked by Ye Chen. Initially, Xia Yingluo thought it would be a budget hotel, but when she saw the five-star hotel in front of her, she was stunned.
"Why did you book such an expensive hotel?" Xia Yingluo complained.
If Ye Chen hadn't insisted that it was non-refundable, Xia Yingluo would have really wanted to cancel the booking immediately.
Ye Chen pulled Xia Yingluo's small hand and walked into the hotel.
In fact, although it was a five-star hotel, there was still a significant gap compared to the hotels from over a decade later in his past life.
But even so, this hotel was still a bit too luxurious for Xia Yingluo.
