She slightly lowered her head to look at her wine. “But that’s in the past.”
Lin Yunan silently commended Li Lei. How did it feel like to be favored by a girl who could easily take out 10 billion? He even dared to abandon her! Such an unforgivable sin!
“Exactly, it’s all in the past.” Lin Yunan patted Xia Ling’s shoulders and then aggressively said, “From now on, you’re with me. You have to make me reach the pinnacle and become the world’s best Diva manager. You have to be responsible for me and not fire me! You aren’t allowed to abandon me! Hear that?!”
He was very fierce…
Xia Ling looked at him weakly and nodded carefully.
How would she dare to fire him? This man was scary. Regardless of whether he was able to gain a stake, she did not dare to touch him!
The two of them stayed in the villa and strategized the entire night.
The general architecture of the company was finalized. Xia Ling was the chairman, singer, face, and investor. Lin Yunan was the CEO, manager, and other miscellaneous positions…
Xia Ling was so touched that she was in tears. She deeply felt that gaining a worker like Lin Yunan was too good to be true. For someone like her who had no knowledge of running a business, she needed someone from an eminent family who was also a hard worker. How could she fire Lin Yunan? Instead, she would burn incense and beg him to stay.
Lin Yunan was very action-oriented. The next day, he released the news to the public.
Halfway, he suddenly remembered something. “Oh yes, what should we call out company?”
At this time, Xia Ling was celebrating with a large bowl of strawberry smoothie. After hearing him, she was taken aback before saying, “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Lin Yunan wanted to kill her. “Quickly think about it! Don’t waste your time drinking your smoothie!”
“Hey, you shouldn’t be so fierce to your chairman…” Xia Ling whispered.
Lin Yunan yelled. “I’ll give you only three hours! If you can’t think of anything by them, you’ll have to fend for yourself!”
Filled with tears, Xia Ling carried her smoothie silently into the study. She was wrong about needing Lin Yunan to stay at all costs. Once she hired someone else, she would fire him!
As she grudgingly thought of how to get even with him, she pondered about the company’s name.
What should she call her company?
She tossed and turned on the sofa but could not think of anything.
The phone rang and she answered it. She heard Xia Moyan’s voice from the other end. “Xiao Ling?”
“Brother!” Xia Ling eyes sparkled and immediately sat up straight on the sofa. “Brother, brother! Is it really you? Why did you suddenly call me today?”
Hearing her sister’s excitement, Xia Moyan was in good spirits too. In his usual calm voice, he said, “I just saw the news on the internet about you starting your own company and that you haven’t thought of a name for it yet.”
“That’s right!” Xia Ling guessed that Lin Yunan must have released the news as quickly as possible. She said, “I’m thinking of a name now… It’s really hard.”
“Phoenix Down Corporation.”
“What?” Xia Ling was slightly startled.
“As the name suggests, it means that a phoenix has encountered a disaster.” Xia Moyan said, “Use this name. In fact, leave the location of the office and interior design to me. Feng Shui is involved in these things, and if you choose things appropriately, you can avoid many troubles and suffer less.” The “Phoenix Down Corporation” is used to fool the heavens and let god think that she had already suffered immensely.
Xia Ling did not understand the complicated reasoning but chose to believe her brother. “Ok.”
Xia Moyan said, “Good.” He then hung up.
“Brother…” Xia Ling called him.
“Is there something?” Xia Moyan asked.
“You… aren’t going to ask me why I left Skyart Entertainment?”
“Haha,” Xia Moyan laughed coldly. “Do I even have to ask? That piece of wood let you down and isn’t worthy of you.”
“He isn’t unworthy of me…”
“Why are you still defending him now?” Xia Moyan expected better from her. “Xiao Ling, after you return to the family, you can have any man you want. I will organize a blind date for you and invite all of the world’s sycamore wood types for you to choose. Li Lei? Haha.”
His sneering caused Xia Ling to shudder in fear.
“Don’t bully him.” She softly pleaded.
Xia Moyan laughed.
“Brother!” Xia Ling exclaimed.
Only then did Xia Moyan say, “Why do I have a sister who keeps siding with outsiders? Fine, I won’t bully him. Are you happy now?”
“Actually…” Xia Ling mumbled. “I also want to ask… Su Tang and him… Do they really… have a child?”
On the other end, Xia Moyan was silent for a moment before saying, “Xiao Ling, he is your love interest, so I can’t really interfere or investigate certain things like that. I’m sorry.”
Xia Ling lowered her eyes in disappointment.
She wondered how Li Lei was doing now. After not contacting him for such a long time, how was he? Was he so happy with Su Tang that she was the last thing in his mind right now? She remembered the national news she saw about how he went to Eastern Europe with Su Tang. Besides dealing with his business rival, he also bought many pregnancy supplies…
Her heart hurt.
“You’re a Phoenix.” Xia Moyan said, “Losing you is his loss.”
She was very upset and whispered, “I’m going to hang up. Goodbye, brother.” She was a little heartbroken and was unable to talk to him any longer. Although she had 10 billion now and received a lot of attention because she was about to start her own company, there was an endless dark pit in her heart.
The name “Phoenix Down Corporation” was registered successfully.
It formally became the name of her company.
Xia Moyan sent her the location of the company. Coincidentally, it was the building opposite Skyart Entertainment.
Xia Ling looked at the map and frowned. “Brother, I don’t want to be located there.” Being so close to Skyart gave her an added sense of sadness.
Xia Moyan originally did not want her to be located there, but although there were hundreds of thousands of sycamore wood types in the world, Li Lei was the only one in S City. Skyart Entertainment was his headquarters, and the energy of the sycamore wood was concentrated there. If Xiao Ling’s company was located nearby, it would benefit her.
“If I could choose another location, I would not have chosen that place.” Xia Moyan told her truthfully. “I only did it because that place is the most suitable. Just take a look.”
Xia Ling sighed at the map.
Lin Yunan looked over and said, “Hey, who is the master who selected this location? He’s really awesome! It’s located opposite Skyart Entertainment and it’s just what I wanted.”
“Just what you wanted?” Xia Ling turned around to look at him.
“Of course.” Lin Yunan pointed at the river structure on the map. “There are a total of two entertainment companies in the city. One is Imperial Entertainment. It’s located in an old part of the city which is already filled to the brim with buildings, so there’s not a chance of finding any empty spaces. Another is Skyart Entertainment, which is in the new district of the city. After recent years of development, the environment here is beautiful now, and everything is new. The most important thing is, the lease of the building opposite Skyart is about to expire soon, and we can quickly rent the entire building.
“Furthermore, traffic, popularity, and location are all favorable.”
