When Xiao Yufan handed Maseng the bank card with a transfer of 2.6 million, both Murqing and Maseng looked at him as if he were some kind of freak…
“Where did you get so much money? This is 2.6 million!” After recovering from his shock, Maseng grabbed Xiao Yufan tightly, as if he had discovered some new continent.
“This is from my master. To be honest, I don’t really know why he gave me the money. But since it’s mine now, instead of letting it sit idle, I might as well use it to help you out of this current predicament!”
Xiao Yufan appeared very casual. Indeed, with that gold card of unlimited credit, money had ceased to be a major concern for him. Of course, the card wasn’t truly unlimited—it just had an extremely high limit.
“Master?” Maseng suddenly recalled Xiao Yufan’s always elusive and mysterious mentor, and suddenly things made a bit more sense. He continued, “Then how much money do you have left now?”
“I should be able to take out another few million without a problem…” Xiao Yufan replied without hesitation. In his mind, the card’s limit should be at least tens of millions, so taking out another few million should still be feasible.
“God, let me worship you for a moment!” Maseng exclaimed in astonishment, then responded with an exaggerated expression. Although after several years of development in Beijing, he could probably come up with tens of thousands himself, it was nowhere near the scale of millions.
“Worship this! I’m not even sure whether using my master’s card like this is right. I always feel like he’s hiding something from me…” Thinking about his master’s unusually strange behavior lately, Xiao Yufan felt somewhat puzzled. His master seemed to have become even more mysterious.
“Then sponsor me! You’re really hiding your light under a bushel. Never thought a millionaire used to mooch off me for food and drinks…”
“Get lost… Sponsor you? What about Murqing?” Xiao Yufan teased, the oppressive atmosphere instantly dissipating. With this money, the hole could be filled, and things would get much easier from there.
…
“Yufan, I’m serious. Since your master gave you this money, it naturally belongs to you now. Why don’t you use it to do something meaningful?”
After a long pause, Maseng’s eyes gleamed with insight. He thought again about his plan to start a company. He already had a very detailed framework in mind; what he lacked was only the initial capital. And now, Xiao Yufan happened to have quite a bit of spare cash.
“Speak up if you have something to say, or fart already—why are you so slow?” Xiao Yufan didn’t even need to think to know what Maseng was plotting. They had known each other longer than Maseng and his wife had known each other. Xiao Yufan could tell exactly what Maseng was thinking just by how he squatted.
“This time the company plans were delayed because of the loan sharks, but I still think starting a company is definitely feasible. If we invest well at the beginning, we can recoup the capital within a year! Plus, with the connections I’ve built up over the years and the support of some friends, I’m sure the company won’t be hard to run. Believe me…”
“Connections? Connections mean nobody would lend you money when you needed it!” Xiao Yufan smiled knowingly. It was clear that Maseng had big ambitions, though he wasn’t sure whether that was a good thing or not.
“That’s totally different…” Maseng blushed slightly at Xiao Yufan’s words and retorted. Obviously, this remark had touched a nerve, reminding him of a bitter truth—that only in hardship can true friendship be revealed.
“Then tell me your specific idea. I’d like to know what kind of surprise the genius of our department back in the day can bring me now…”
Truth be told, Xiao Yufan was genuinely intrigued. Since the money was just sitting there anyway, why not put it to good use? If starting a company was feasible, it might be worth trying.
“I’ve wanted to start my own company for a long time, but I just lacked a good opportunity. Now that I’ve made enough money, I don’t want to work for others anymore. Being my own boss sounds much better!”
“What kind of company do you want to start? If you’re serious, I’ll definitely support you. But let me make it clear—I’m only investing money. If you expect me to do anything else, forget it!”
Xiao Yufan smirked slightly. His willingness to help Maseng stemmed purely from their closeness. Perhaps it was also because he still had some fire in his blood, wanting Maseng to achieve something meaningful. But having grown accustomed to a comfortable life, he wanted to clarify his boundaries first.
“As you know, the reason I chose programming back then was because I love anime. If possible, I’d like our company to explore the relatively niche anime market in Beijing. And I’ve done some research—it’s actually quite feasible!”
Maseng was so excited he was almost incoherent. With Xiao Yufan’s financial support, he was one step closer to his dream. He was absolutely confident he could manage the company well.
After a moment’s hesitation, Xiao Yufan analyzed the anime market in Beijing with his own perspective. He realized there was indeed enormous potential. More importantly, Maseng was a programming major by training, and clearly very skilled in this area.
“When do you plan to start working on it? Just let me know when you need the money—I’ll transfer it to your card. I need to get back to the company now, or else I’ll get docked pay…”
Yawning loudly, Xiao Yufan knew there was nothing more for him to do here. It was time to head back. He hadn’t reported to Yu Yihan before leaving, and he had no idea how to explain himself later. Although, truthfully, he didn’t really care about that few thousand yuan salary…
