She never imagined that stubble would be so valuable. A company that was ignored and on the verge of bankruptcy just a month or two ago had suddenly become incredibly popular, its value multiplying so many times over. This experience made her acutely aware of the opportunities and unpredictable nature of the venture capital industry.

After thinking for a moment, I dialed Li Mu's number.

"Congratulations, the red stubble actually sold for so much money."

Li Mu said, "Congratulations! Do you remember what I promised you? I'd give you a car after I sold the red stubble."

Jiang Xiaoguo was stunned, and stammered, "Really..."

Li Mu said, "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied?"

Jiang Xiaoguo was stunned for a moment: "This is too valuable, I..."

Li Mu said, "What's so valuable about it? Don't you even think about how much I've made from this investment because of your recommendation? I'm just giving you a car; it's not even a fraction of what I'm paying for."

Jiang Xiaoguo thought about it and agreed. Because of her introduction, the 10 million investment turned into 280 million in a month or two, so giving her a car was really nothing.

Li Mu asked, "Which one do you want?"

Jiang Xiaoguo said blankly, "I don't know either, I don't know much about cars."

Li Mu said, "Then I'll take half a day off this afternoon and go shopping with you to see which one you like."

Jiang Xiaoguo nodded blankly. Only after hanging up the phone did her mind slowly clear. She was about to have her own car.

Known for being stingy and a penny-pincher, Jiang Xiaoguo was filled with joy at the thought of this. She was about to have her own car before even graduating from university.

That afternoon, Li Mu spent half a day accompanying Jiang Xiaoguo to look at cars. Faced with a dazzling array of luxury cars, Jiang Xiaoguo finally chose a fully imported BMW Mini. The price wasn't too expensive, and it was quite suitable for a petite and cute girl like her.

Li Mu didn't try to persuade her to buy a more expensive car; as long as she liked it and felt it was suitable, that was fine with him. He swiped his card, signed the contract, and drove with her all the way, watching her drive safely back to school. Li Mu smiled before going home.

……

Liang Shuang's fame soared due to the conflict between the two Shuangs, and her Weibo followers quickly exceeded 1.5 million, making her a veritable Weibo influencer and a well-known beauty blogger.

Soon, a live streaming company called Xingyu Live contacted her.

"Hello Ms. Liang, I'm Zhong Le, an agent from Xingyu Live. This is my business card!"

"Hello!" He took the business card, glanced at it, and frowned slightly. "Xingyu Live, the one about live-streaming e-commerce?"

Zhong Le laughed and said, "Yes! Miss Liang, you've heard of it."

Liang Shuang nodded: "I've heard of your company. Who are you looking for?"

Zhong Le cut to the chase: "Ms. Liang, we won't beat around the bush. We're looking for you because you're currently very popular and have excellent qualities in all aspects, making you a perfect fit for our Xingyu Live. If you're willing to join our company, we'll do our best to promote and package you, and we'll also help you solve all sorts of problems. For example, the incident where you were framed by Ouyang Yushuang would never have happened if you were a contracted artist with our company."

Liang Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I will consider it carefully."

"Very well, Miss Liang, I look forward to hearing good news from you!"

In the evening, Liang Shuang returned to school and heard some very bad news: Jiang Xiaoguo had actually bought a car, although it was just a BMW Mini, it still cost several hundred thousand yuan!

Given Jiang Xiaoguo's usual stingy nature, how could she possibly be willing to spend even a penny in half? She simply doesn't have the means.

After thinking for a long time, the only person who had both the ability and the motivation to buy a car for Jiang Xiaoguo was Li Mu.

Jiang Xiaoguo didn't keep this a secret. She just wanted to annoy Liang Shuang and make her give up on the idea as soon as possible, since he was her ex-boyfriend.

So, after making a few inquiries, Liang Shuang learned from her classmates that Jiang Xiaoguo's car was a gift from her ex-boyfriend, and she was furious.

This scumbag slept with her for so long, not only refusing to admit he was her boyfriend, but he even bought his ex-girlfriend a car. This is intolerable!

Immediately, they left the school and headed aggressively towards Li Mu's residence.

However, upon entering and seeing Li Mu, his temper immediately subsided considerably: "I heard that you gave Jiang Xiaoguo a car."

Li Mu nodded: "Yes!"

Seeing Li Mu admit it so readily, Liang Shuang was furious.

"You actually...you...I'm with you like this every day...and you actually gave Jiang Xiaoguo a car, you..."

Li Mu said, "Don't get excited yet. Aren't you going to ask me why I sent Jiang Xiaoguo the car?"

Liang Shuang snorted: "What else could it be? You're always looking for something better than what you have. Jiang Xiaoguo is so thin and small. I don't know what you see in her. What makes her better than me?"

"Tell me, how do you explain this?"

Li Mu said, "There's something you might not know: the red stubble that helped you out of that predicament was an investment of mine."

Liang Shuang really didn't know, and Li Mu had never told her any of this.

"So what if it was your investment?"

Li Mu said, "Nothing much. I sold it again a couple of days ago and made some money."

"Sold! How did it get sold?" Liang Shuang asked curiously.

Li Mu said, "I invested ten million, and someone else spent two hundred million to buy it. How do you suggest we sell it now?"

Liang Shuang immediately covered her mouth, her face full of shock.

"Two hundred and eighty million...you...you...earned so much."

After being shocked for a long time, he said, "But what does this have to do with Jiang Xiaoguo? Could it be that you've become rich and want to make up for your ex-girlfriend by buying her a car?"

Li Mu smiled and asked, "Do you know who introduced me to the Red Stubble project?"

Liang Shuang's expression tightened, and she asked suspiciously, "Who is it? You don't mean Jiang Xiaoguo, do you?" Her face was full of disbelief.

Li Mu nodded and smiled, "You were right, it really is Jiang Xiaoguo."

Liang Shuang was still incredulous: "Jiang Xiaoguo...she...the Hongcha she introduced to you, is she really that capable?"

Li Mu said, "Jiang Xiaoguo is interning in the investment department of CICC, didn't you know?"

Liang Shuang had indeed heard that Jiang Xiaoguo was interning at CICC, but who would have thought that a mere intern could introduce such a lucrative project to Li Mu!

Liang Shuang said in a low voice, "So, she helped you make a lot of money, so you should buy her a car to thank her."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Is that not allowed?"

Liang Shuang's face was very ugly. She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, she thought of something and her eyes lit up. She said, "Is the reason why red stubble is so valuable is because it has accumulated a large number of users due to its popularity on the Internet recently?"

Li Mu said, "Yes, that's one factor."

Liang Shuang instantly became happy and looked at Li Mu, saying, "Then shouldn't you thank me too? If it weren't for me, there wouldn't be the current popularity, and the red shavings wouldn't be so valuable."

Li Mu nodded: "What you said makes sense. The red stubble does indeed benefit a lot from you."

Hearing Li Mu say this, Liang Shuang was even happier.

"Since that's the case, if you can give Jiang Xiaoguo a car, shouldn't you give me one too?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "That makes sense. How about I go with you to pick one up tomorrow?"

Liang Shuang hesitated for a moment. She had just agreed to be independent and self-reliant, so how could she accept Li Mu's car? But then she thought, Jiang Xiaoguo had accepted it, so why couldn't she? If she didn't accept it, wouldn't she seem inferior to Jiang Xiaoguo?

He snorted and said, "I'm going to buy one that's more expensive than Jiang Xiaoguo's."

"Fine, whatever you say!"

Liang Shuang was immediately in a good mood, but her proud personality made her feel she had to say something to let Li Mu know that she wasn't the kind of woman who was materialistic and greedy.

"Don't think I'm desperate for your car. I can actually afford one myself. I'll be making a lot of money soon, and I'll give you one then."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Alright, I'll wait for that day."

Fearing she wouldn't believe him, Liang Shuang quickly pulled out a business card.

"See that? Xingyu Live, a well-known live-streaming e-commerce company in the city, extended an invitation to me today, wanting to sign me. Don't think I can't do without you."

Li Mu nodded: "Of course I believe in you. You will definitely become a top star in the future."

"However, I remember you wanted to be a beauty blogger, right? There are quite a few pure beauty e-commerce companies these days. Is this Xingyu Live going to let you continue being a beauty blogger, or will you become an influencer for other categories?"

Liang Shuang replied without hesitation, "Of course, I want to be a beauty blogger."

Li Mu said, "Really? Then congratulations! Your dream has come true."

Liang Shuang smiled.

"Just you wait! Tomorrow morning I'll go to Xingyu Live to negotiate terms, and in the afternoon I'll come with you to pick up my car."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

The following day, Xingyu Live broadcast.

Manager Wu said, "You've seen our conditions. Since you've come all this way with sincerity, let's talk about your requirements!"

“Okay!” Liang Shuang said frankly, “Then I won’t beat around the bush. My requirements are: first, I need a dedicated dressing room and stylist; second, my ideas cannot be leaked casually, and cannot be used by any of your artists without my authorization.”

"Third, I definitely won't accept products without proper documentation; they must have complete safety testing reports. Fourth, I signed with the company to earn money comfortably, so we'll split the income 50/50. That's all. Can you agree to that?"

Looking at the confident and charismatic Liang Shuang, General Manager Wu smiled and said, "The conditions you proposed are very good. I think... there's no problem with them, we can completely accept them."

As Mr. Wu spoke, he made a few changes in his notebook, then turned his notebook towards Liang Shuang and smiled:

"This is the new contract I revised according to your requirements. If there are no problems, I'll have my secretary print it out in a bit, and then we can sign it!"

Liang Shuang glanced at the revised contract and saw that the other party had agreed to the terms she had thought of for a long time without even haggling.

"They agreed to everything, including a dedicated dressing room and revenue sharing?" she exclaimed in surprise.

Mr. Wu smiled and said, "That's right. In addition, we will also arrange a dedicated agent and assistant for you. How about that?"

Hearing how thoughtful the arrangements were, Liang Shuang was about to nod when she suddenly realized that, given her current online popularity and fame, it was normal for her to receive this treatment.
