"What opportunity?"
"We're going to have a serious relationship."
I stared into his eyes, "What guarantee do you have that you won't lie to me?"
He took out a piece of paper, "I can write an IOU."
I looked at him, "Are you sure you can write?"
Without hesitation, he started writing.
After he finished, he handed the IOU to me, "Can you trust me now?"
I looked at him, my feelings were complicated.
After a long while, I slowly spoke, "Okay."
"We're going to have a serious relationship."
He smiled with relief.
I smiled too.
After regaining my freedom from the Xu Jiachen, I tore up his IOU and handed him a new contract.
This contract included one million invested by my dad, plus an additional one million.
He took it, "Thank you."
I stared at him, "You don't have a company or a team right now. Can you handle everything?"
He laughed, "Of course, I haven't been wasting my years."
"I have enough confidence to create good work."
"I won't let you lose money."
His confident demeanor made me find it somewhat amusing.
"You seem very confident?"
He raised an eyebrow, "Of course."
"I need your money, but I'm even more confident that I can make you money."
He laughed.
I laughed too.
In the following six months, Xu Jiachen was fully immersed in music creation.
All the songwriting, arrangement, mixing, and album design were completed by him alone. Heavenly Will does not disappoint those who are dedicated. His free single, which was a test of the market, quickly topped the charts on major music platforms upon release, earning him a bit of fame and some fans.
However, I found myself in a difficult situation. The project my father invested in encountered problems, leading to the freezing of all company assets and properties, and a broken cash flow that made it impossible to pay employee salaries. One employee had a particularly dire situation; her father had been bedridden for a long time, her mother suffered from complications of diabetes, and her younger brother was in college. As a young woman earning seven to eight thousand a month, she had to support a family of four.
Her father heard rumors about my father's investment failure and threatened to splash paint at our doorstep with "Pay Back" written on it. Xu Jiachen and I rushed over in time to stop him. Looking at the elderly face of the employee's father and that bottle of red paint, my feelings were incredibly complicated. I took out my phone and transferred twenty thousand yuan to him.
"Take this money for now; I will give you the rest as soon as possible." He looked at me and asked, "Boss, when will you pay us?" I replied, "I'm not the boss; I'm just an employee." He paused for a moment and asked, "Then where is the boss?"
"He..."
"He ran away." His face changed dramatically: "Ran away?" I nodded, "So you might not be able to get your money." His face turned pale, and he trembled all over. I felt an immense weight on my heart; I felt sorry for them.
At that moment, Xu Jiachen suddenly spoke up: "I will help you get your money back." He looked at me: "Give me some time." I looked at him: "You..."
"Trust me."
I sent them away.
He looked at me and said, "Yuan Yuan, tell me the truth, what is your situation right now?"
I forced a smile and replied, "What else could it be? I have nothing."
He stared at me and asked, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
I looked at him and said, "What difference would it make if I told you?"
"I can help you."
"How can you help me?"
"Once my album is released, I'll receive royalties. I can help you pay your employees' salaries."
I looked at him and said, "Even if that's the case, what then?"
He paused for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
I forced a smile again and said, "Even if you help me pay my employees' salaries, what then?"
"I still have nothing."
"Now I realize that I have always had nothing."
"I have been living in a false world all along."
He stared at me and said, "Yuan Yuan, do you think I care about your money?"
I looked at him and asked, "Don't you care?"
"If I didn't care, I wouldn't lend you money."
"If I'm borrowing money just to pay it back, then why would I write an IOU?"
"You could write a loan note."
"A loan note means nothing to me."
I looked at him and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"
He took my hand and said, "What I want to say is that I won't leave you."
"Yuan Yuan, you need to believe in yourself, and more importantly, believe in me."
"You need to rely on me."
