Chapter 227: I’ll Go to Work for You This Afternoon!

…

“…”

Mei Yue listened as Mei Fang confidently talked about work, only to find out at the end that he wanted her to work for him. She couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

“So you were just fooling me with empty promises? Really.”

“There’s no fooling you, Sister Yueyue! We genuinely invited you to start a company…”

Seeing Xia Yuan’s sincere expression, Mei Yue felt there was no point in deceiving her. “Let me think… You said… Open a company, let me be the financial director… Oh, are you planning to start an entertainment company? But the entertainment industry is very complicated, Sister Yueyue doesn’t understand these things, even if you ask me, I can’t do it.”

“This isn’t about singing; it’s about something else. Sister Yueyue, you often browse C Station, right? I see you have the C Station app on your phone.”

“I do browse it, so what?”

“Do you know who runs C Station?”

“Not really… I only know everyone calls her ‘Miss’ or something…”

Mei Yue propped up her cheek, curiously looking at Mei Fang and the others, “That’s a portal site with hundreds of thousands of members. It’s only second to A Station domestically. Can you seriously tell me that C Station was created by you kids?”

“…”

Mei Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin You Xi all pursed their lips, unwilling to answer immediately, which made Mei Yue panic.

“Hey, hey… This joke is a bit too big…”

Mei Yue quickly took out her phone to search for information about the C Station manager.

“【Mountain Has a Forest】 Miss… Mountain Has a Forest… Mountain Has a Forest… Lin You Xi?!”

Her gaze fell on Lin You Xi, “Is Miss from C Station you?!”

“I wouldn’t say it like that… I only used that account to post some update notices, and it was quite early on.”

Lin You Xi draped one arm over Mei Fang’s shoulder and the other around his arm, gently introducing her partner to Mei Yue, “Most of the interaction on the forum is done by Afang, and many things were handled by Afang when setting up the station.”

“I remember C Station was established in 2009 or 2010. At that time, how old were you… You guys are so capable, yet your family knows nothing about it.”

“It was just for fun back then. We didn’t expect it to actually succeed.”

The little cousin and his friends being internet tycoons—what a fantastic plot twist?

If she had known her brother was this capable, why would she still be working outside?

Mei Yue was puzzled.

“But, from what I know, making money from video websites is difficult, right? Without any help from your family, how did you manage the website operations and maintenance?”

“Well…”

Xia Yuan explained, “Mainly through Afang’s games to support the website, and I initially lent him some money.”

“What? Besides the website, you also made games?”

Mei Fang briefly introduced their games to Mei Yue. Mei Yue rarely played games, so she hadn’t heard of most of them, but she had played Flappy Bird.

“The game that became very popular recently, ‘Slow Bird Flying First,’ was made by you guys! Wow… Not only running a website, but also making games and singing, how many secrets are you hiding from me? I’m going crazy… Damn!”

Mei Yue repeatedly patted her chest to calm down. Xia Yuan hurriedly handed her a glass of water.

After calming down, Mei Yue asked more details about their current business. She found their management methods, including copyright registration, game licensing, and simple financial records, were well-organized.

“Phew… If we weren’t under eighteen and couldn’t open a company, you three wouldn’t have thought of asking me for help, right?”

“It’s not that extreme. Financial management is tricky, especially handling bills and tax avoidance. So we still need excellent Sister Yueyue’s help.”

“Technically, you’re not just asking me to be the financial director… Now, you’re the only adult in the team. Are you saying you want me to be the legal representative, prepare all the paperwork for starting a company, recruit staff, and handle everything?”

“Mainly the financial part. The rest, we three can share. Currently, the biggest challenge is C Station.”

“C Station is a large website, but managing it isn’t too complex. The current workflow can handle it. However, to surpass A Station, we need to actively seek financing.”

Although C Station was thriving, A Station maintained its position due to lower entry barriers and a wider user base. Capital investment was the key factor.

In 2010, the popular card game platform Bifeng Network acquired A Station from its founder, Xi Lin, with Chen Shaojie as the main figurehead. Bifeng was a subsidiary of the gaming giant Shengda, backed by substantial capital.

To survive in the fierce capital game, C Station needed a professional team and stronger financial backing. Financing was urgent, and forming a company entity was imperative.

C Station had already attracted some major investors, but without a company structure and legal-financial support, financing was unattainable. Some even saw acquiring C Station as a better option.

Currently, the highest offer for C Station reached 8 million yuan, while A Station was sold for 4 million yuan ten years ago due to bandwidth costs.

After hearing these astronomical figures, Mei Yue gasped.

“If other kids achieved such success, they would have made it known. But you guys kept it under wraps…”

“If we exposed it too soon, our family might have opposed it before the business could take off.”

Mei Fang smiled, “It’s more meaningful when it succeeds. And if it was exposed too early, school wouldn’t be as fun…”

“What! You mean C Station could sell for 8 million yuan now?”

Xia Yuan was shocked, “I only learned about this today. Were you and You Xi keeping it from me?”

“No, I didn’t tell anyone.”

Mei Fang shook his head, “You never asked, so why should I tell you? Knowing this price, aren’t you thinking about selling C Station for money?”

“Not really… I definitely wouldn’t support selling it. I just feel…”

Xia Yuan stared at the calm Lin You Xi, “Youxi, you seem to have known this for a long time. Afang never told you, right? You seem pretty calm about this number.”

“After considering how much we earn versus how much we sell, I prefer researching website technology. Financial management was mainly handled by Afang, and he didn’t make any mistakes…”

She patted Mei Fang’s shoulder and smiled at the others, “Afang said to trust him, so I just believe in him.”

“…”

This imposing aura!

Seeing Lin You Xi’s flirtatious act, Mei Yue couldn’t help but worry about Xia Yuan, who was chuckling.

Sigh… Unfathomable…

With Xia Yuan’s mediocre skills, how did she turn our little Fangzi into her boyfriend?

Seeing them kissing during New Year’s, it wasn’t just a coincidence, right?

“I understand the situation… I’m willing to help, but I’m not sure if I have the ability to take on these responsibilities… Anyway, Sister Yueyue doesn’t want to ruin your hard work. I’ll help with the initial setup, but the rest… sigh, it’s a lot to handle.”

Mei Yue scratched her head and looked up at Mei Fang, “Little Fangzi, you said you’d give me a monthly salary of 20,000, right?”

“No, it’s 20,000.”

Mei Fang declared the salary under Xia Yuan’s pained gaze.

“Okay, I’ll start working for you this afternoon!”

Sister Yueyue clearly had high enthusiasm for starting a company. She planned to treat it like her own home.

Today is still a transitional chapter, with not much romantic content. By the way, I saw my dear reader SilverMeng MingqianXiao has caught up to the latest chapter! I’ll start repaying the eight missing chapters soon…
