"Miss Lu, you don't need to doubt. Star Live's success today is all thanks to your efforts. If you agree to our request and let Star Live enter the Imperial platform, our company will definitely reach new heights. Giving you thirty percent of the shares is completely worth it!" the boss of Star Live said sincerely.
"Forty percent of the shares," Lu Wanqing said suddenly.
What?
The boss of Star Live was dumbfounded.
What was going on? Why did it suddenly become forty percent of the shares? What did Miss Lu mean by this?
However, the boss of Star Live, having reached his current position, was not an idiot. He quickly reacted, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Was Miss Lu negotiating with him?
Forty percent of the shares was ten percent more than his budget, and the demand was too steep!
"Boss, I believe you are aware of the Empire's strength and population flow. If Star Live can enter the Imperial live streaming platform, its performance and reputation in the future will not just be a step up, but perhaps three steps up!" Lu Wanqing said seriously.
The boss of Star Live, "..."
The boss felt shocked. Was this the gene of ancient Earthlings? They were so smart! He realized that trying to make money off Miss Lu was impossible; he could only be fleeced.
"Miss Lu, forty percent of the shares is too high a demand. I cannot decide this alone and will need to convene a board meeting to ask for everyone's opinion before I can give you a reply," the boss of Star Live said cautiously after careful consideration.
"Then perhaps the boss could inform everyone that my identity in the Empire is something they should be aware of. If I become a major shareholder of Star Live, at least in the Empire, I can be Star Live's backing," Lu Wanqing added.
The boss of Star Live felt his palms sweating. Forty percent of the shares, given Star Live's current performance, would mean a net income of at least a hundred million daily.
If Star Live were to enter the Imperial platform, its income would multiply several times. Wouldn't forty percent of the shares then represent several hundred million?
Miss Lu was too shrewd; she didn't take any losses!
"Alright, Miss Lu, I will convey this to everyone. Thank you for considering my proposal seriously," the boss of Star Live said earnestly.
"If there's nothing else, shall we end our call for now?" Lu Wanqing tentatively asked.
"Yes, yes, please go ahead with your business. Don't worry about me," the boss of Star Live quickly replied.
After ending the communication, Lu Wanqing's mood suddenly became very good. However, upon turning around, she saw someone standing behind her. Little Harvey was looking at her with bright, admiring eyes.
That familiar feeling of being targeted by a money-guzzling beast made Lu Wanqing's back tingle.
"Mommy, you're amazing!" Harvey exclaimed, showering her with praise.
Lu Wanqing maintained a neutral expression, telling herself to stay calm. She had already given the little guy plenty of space buttons; he had enough for himself and didn't need more.
"Mommy, I love you so much!" Little Harvey launched another emotional barrage.
Lu Wanqing took another breath, adjusted her emotions, and opened her eyes again. She looked at Little Harvey, her eyes shining with the same sparkle as his.
"Mhmm, Harvey is also super amazing! Mommy loves Harvey super much too!" Lu Wanqing said.
It was just flattery, who couldn't learn that!
Lu Wanqing raised her hand, extended her palm, grabbed Little Harvey's hand, and gave him a high-five.
"Awesome!" Lu Wanqing said excitedly.
Little Harvey, "..."
"Pfft..."
At the doorway, Xavier, who had witnessed the entire scene, couldn't help but chuckle.
He had thought Lu Wanqing would also be overwhelmed by this cunning little brat, but it turned out she was indeed Lu Wanqing, with countless tricks up her sleeve for dealing with all sorts of children.
Had Harvey finally met his match?
Although Harvey was a bit slow to react in other matters, this time he unexpectedly understood the meaning behind his father's laughter and became embarrassed.
"Daddy!" Little Harvey turned around, glared at his father, and said angrily.
Xavier looked at Lu Wanqing, his deep dark eyes now filled with strong admiration.
Before he truly knew Lu Wanqing, no matter how others praised her, he didn't think this resurrected ancient Earthling was very capable. But after spending so much time with her, he now admitted and accepted the outside world's evaluation of Lu Wanqing; she was truly very intelligent.
"Harvey, in the future, if you want something, you need to learn to earn it yourself. You are a man, you need to earn money by your own ability. Once you have money, you can buy what you want. Crying and acting cute won't solve anything," Xavier took the opportunity to lecture Little Harvey.
Little Harvey pouted, looking aggrieved. "No way!"
Xavier snorted; this kid was still too young to try and play tricks on him.
"If you're interested, you can come to the martial arts dojo and teach those kids how to fight. I'll pay you a salary at the normal rate," Xavier said with a smile.
At these words, both Lu Wanqing and Little Harvey were stunned.
Mother and son had the same expression, looking at Xavier in shock.
Xavier, however, offered no further explanation and turned to leave.
Little Harvey finally reacted, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly chased after Xavier. "Daddy, Daddy, are you serious? Are you really willing to give me a chance to be a coach at the martial arts dojo? And are you willing to pay me a salary?"
Xavier turned back and looked down at Little Harvey. "When have I ever lied?"
"Xavier," Lu Wanqing blurted out anxiously, explaining, "Harvey is only seven years old this year."
How could a seven-year-old be someone's coach? Could Little Harvey handle such responsibility so early?
"Don't underestimate him," Xavier said, a faint, enigmatic smile still on his face.
Lu Wanqing's mind suddenly went blank. She looked down at Little Harvey.
Little Harvey's entire being radiated excitement.
"Mhmm! I'm super amazing! Daddy believes me!!!" Little Harvey said with immense confidence.
Lu Wanqing's lips twitched. She finally understood why the little guy was so socially adept; with a father like that, it was hard for a child *not* to be confident.
"Will this affect his studies?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask her next question.
