After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

"It's time to eat!"

Lin Youxi prepared the last meal of bone soup and brought it to the table. When she took off her gloves, she was accidentally scalded by the pot. She obviously pulled her hand back. Mei Fang subconsciously came over and took Lin Youxi's hand to check on her.

"Are you okay, Youxi? Let me take a look!"

"No, no... I just got burned accidentally. Please sit down and have dinner with your uncle and aunt. I'll just rinse it off."

"No more talking, I'll place an order for some burn ointment first."

"Really, please sit down and eat. Oh, you——"

Lin Youxi's angry words revealed a slight complaint against Mei Fang.

It's enough that you're so considerate to me normally. Don't take care of me like this when Yuanyuan's parents are around...

Sure enough, Xia Xun’s favorability towards Mei Fang dropped to -50.

Everyone was chatting happily at the dinner table. Mei Fang and Lin Youxi were very attentive in pouring wine and serving food to Xia Xun, and they served him well.

Xia Xun also praised Youxi's cooking skills, which made Xia Yuan and her daughter feel embarrassed. They blushed and lowered their heads to pick up food, not daring to say much.

After a few drinks, everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Yu Ling also expressed her love for the environment of this community.

"Yuanyuan, you guys picked a really good house. Can we buy you a fully furnished house like this during our visit?"

"Ah, that-"

Xia Yuan pulled her hair and muttered, "Don't worry about buying a house for now, okay?"

"The housing prices in Pengcheng are changing every day. If you don't buy now, I'm afraid it will rise even more sharply... Yuanyuan, you want to develop in Pengcheng for a long time. If you ask me, it would be more appropriate to buy a house now. It will take about half a year to renovate it."

"Mom, we are still busy building our careers, how can we settle down so quickly..."

"But this doesn't affect us buying you a house, right?"

Xia Xun said, "If you are not in a hurry to separate from Youxi and Afang, it's okay to just consider it as our investment."

Seeing that Xia Yuan was being urged by her parents, Mei Fang knew that she could not hold on any longer, so she stood up immediately:

"Uncle Xia, Aunt Yu... I invited you here this time because I have a selfish motive -"

Xia Xun and Yu Ling's eyes followed and fell on Mei Fang. Mei Fang said word by word, "I would like to invite Uncle Xia to join our Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment team."

Xia Xun and Yu Ling looked at each other. Yu Ling was about to speak, but Xia Xun stopped her. He looked up and down at Mei Fang who had stood up, and asked slowly:

"No wonder Lian Youxi is so enthusiastic today... So you came prepared?"

Xia Xun said, "However, you said you wanted to invite me to join you, but you actually wanted me to invest in you, right?"

Mei Fang nodded. "Uncle Xia has been in the industry for so many years and is a senior in the investment industry. Naturally, he can see through our thoughts at a glance."

"But your industry has grown so big now, the investment you want must be a lot, right?"

Xia Xun said quietly, "So you thought about this after hearing Yuanyuan say that we wanted to buy a house in full. You seem very confident. You think that with your relationship with Yuanyuan, I will definitely support you, right?"

"Dad, why are you saying that... Ah Fang's business is my business. Supporting him is supporting me."

"You silly kid... you won't even know you've been sold."

Xia Xun frowned upon hearing this and said, "You must have made a lot of money as an online singer, but I never saw the money come into my account. Did you go all the money to support his career?"

Xia Yuan was very angry after hearing this. "Dad, how could you say such a disappointing thing? How could I have succeeded without Ah Fang's help? Ah Fang wrote all my albums and lyrics for me. As for the publishing and distribution, Ah Fang had to find someone else to take care of it all by himself!"

Mei Fang held Xia Yuan aside and tried to persuade her, "Yuanyuan, don't get angry. Uncle Xia is your father, and he must be thinking about you from your perspective."

Then he said to Xia Xun, "Uncle Xia, the three of us have signed a partnership agreement. In addition to external financing and the portion promised to senior executives, Yuanyuan and Youxi now each hold 33% of Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment's shares. I have one share, and they both have one share. This will never change."

Although Mei Fang was sincere, Xia Xun didn't seem to buy it at all: "But this is also risk sharing, isn't it? She is just accompanying you to pursue your dreams and helping you to share your risks."

"What do you mean by accompanying Ah Fang in pursuing his dream... Is my dream of music no longer a dream? Dad, you are really going too far!"

Xia Yuan yelled at her father in anger. If Mei Fang hadn't been there to hold her back, the situation would have been even worse. Xia Xun clearly felt that his daughter's favorability towards him had dropped by 500.

Although his heart was bleeding, it was something that had to be done.

Mei Fang was a child he had watched grow up. He knew from an early age that this child would achieve great things in the future, so he did not shy away from allowing Yuanyuan to interact with him.

But this doesn't mean that he has to fully support his career, because to put it bluntly, he is just a kid from the neighborhood, and at most Yuanyuan's childhood sweetheart... and ex-boyfriend.

Ever since witnessing what happened to his own hotel, Baimeirenjia, Xia Xun's current investment strategy tends to be to put his eggs in different baskets. Needless to say, the amount that Mei Fang wants to ask for is definitely in the tens of millions, which is inconsistent with his investment strategy.

Even if it was his own son-in-law who came to ask him, he would have to think carefully, not to mention that he was just an ex-boyfriend?

However, having said that…

No matter how you divide the basketball clothes, you can't give away your daughter. Xia Xun only has this one daughter, and in the end, everything will be hers.

But Yuanyuan is such a simple and honest child. After she set her heart on Mei Fang since she was young, she completely entrusted her future to him.

The daughter is confused by the situation, and the father, as a bystander, must put more pressure on Mei Fang during the interview to see if this guy is really reliable.

At this moment, Mei Fang did not blame Xia Xun for his indifference, but tried to comfort Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, don't be like this... Don't blame Uncle Xia. They originally reserved the money to buy a house for you. We came up with this idea on a whim. We were the ones who offended first... Uncle Xia has his own investment plan. You can't blame him."

Mei Fang bowed his head and apologized to Xia Xun, "Uncle Xia... I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. Just pretend you didn't hear my request just now."

"That's not necessary... That——"

Xia Xun was about to ask Mei Fang about the current development of Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment, when Lin Youxi came over and patted Mei Fang on the shoulder:

"Ah Fang, it's okay. We can think of a solution together when the time comes. At worst, I can go and convince my dad to sell the house."

Lin Youxi's words shocked everyone, Xia Xun's shame value increased by +100 on the spot, and Mei Fang immediately showed a helpless expression when he heard it - after all, this was a plot that was not in the previously arranged script, and he really didn't care whether he could borrow the money or not, anyway, the BAK coins were there.

"Why are you selling your house? Even if you are short of money, you can't afford that little bit, right?"

"Whatever we can get together, it counts. Anyway, my parents won't be coming home to live anytime soon. We just have to get through the next few months. By the end of the year, when the motion capture equipment is in mass production and the Series A round is approved, we will have the money to pay it back."

Lin Youxi said softly, "My parents have trusted you since I was a child, and they will definitely support my decision."

call!

Xia Xun’s shame value +300.

“But if the A round is not negotiated well and the copyright fails…”

Lin Youxi said with a smile: "Then why don't we work together to pay off the debt? Nothing is difficult in this world, there is always a way."

"I won't let you go to work and get tired..."

Xia Xun’s shame value +1000, Xia Yuan’s shame value +3000.

Compared to Xia Xun's difficult questioning, Lin Youxi's full support can be said to be an instant hit. Not only did Xia Xun lose face, but Xia Yuan, who was standing by, noticed that Lin Youxi was taking advantage of the opportunity to gain points, and immediately pulled Mei Fang's arm, saying in an angry voice with red eyes and sobs:

"Fang, don't be discouraged. Me too... I will fully support you, whether it's endorsements, advertisements, or concerts. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I will find a way to help you make up for the shortfall!"

"That won't do... You don't like doing these things, and I don't want to see you suffer because of me."

"Now that things have come to this, why should I care about my dignity? Besides, it's not that I hate these things... I just find them troublesome. Anyway, our success so far is all due to our own hard work, and I will never be a parasite, humph!"

Xia Yuan rolled his eyes at Xia Xun as he spoke. Xia Xun could feel that if he didn't say anything, he would lose his daughter forever. He was pushed by his wife from behind for several times and didn't speak. When he was brewing words and was about to speak, his wife Yu Ling finally couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly called out to the three giants:

"Oh... don't be like this. It makes it seem like Yuanyuan's dad wants to part ways with you. In fact, we were discussing this before we came here. It's not easy for you to start your own business."

"Okay, wife, stop talking..."

"How can you open your mouth if I don't tell you...your dad said that you guys have been doing a lot of business lately, so it must be difficult to turn over funds. He even cashed out a lot of projects that could have made stable money. He said that if we need it, he will give priority to supporting your business...he is just being stubborn, and all he cares about is your development."

"Why did you say such outrageous words just now? Dad, do you know what your daughter's dream is? You haven't cared about it, have you? You just said it yourself..."

Lin Youxi watched Xia Yuan teach his father a lesson as he dared not speak, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously.

Fortunately, Uncle Xia Xun didn’t know about the wishes Yuanyuan made over the years.

If I knew, I would definitely skin Ah Fang alive...

Here Mei Fang was still trying to persuade Yuan Yuan to calm down, and then he spoke to Xia Xun:

"Uncle Xia, I know you're worried that I can't give Yuanyuan a future. After all, you and Aunt Yu only have Yuanyuan as your daughter, so I can understand your worry that she will suffer in the outside world."

"But what I promise you here is, just like I said at the product launch conference, Yuanyuan and Youxi are the two most important people in my life. No one can replace them. Even if I go hungry, I will not let them go hungry or let them suffer any grievances."

"You may find this unconvincing, but we have known each other for more than ten years. I am the child you have watched grow up, and the student taught by Aunt Yu herself. If you want to observe me and test my sincerity towards Yuanyuan, you can keep observing me. I will keep striving to gain your approval one day."

What is there to fight for?

Xia Xun nodded calmly on the surface, but he was distressed in his heart.

As long as you say now that you want to marry Yuanyuan, how could I not be at ease handing over all the property to you?

As a result, you have to include a "youxi" in every promise you make...

What if he ends up being with Youxi, what will happen to our Yuanyuan?

She loves you so much, but she will end up alone? Have you ever thought about this?

Xia Xun couldn't ask this question.

And he didn't dare to ask any more questions, as he had already made his precious daughter angry today.

With the friendly comfort of Mr. Yu, who is loved by everyone, everyone was finally able to sit down and have a good talk about financing.

Mei Xiang introduced the current income and expenditure situation of Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment to Xia Xun, and also presented a draft financing plan prepared in advance to Xia Xun for review.

In fact, the overall financial situation is not as bad as it has just appeared, but they are obviously making preparations for a rainy day before the A round of financing is reached.

And based on what Xia Xun had learned, apart from the relationship with his daughter, he should even be grateful to Mei Fang for giving him this opportunity to join the game.

In order to make up for the mistake of making Yuanyuan angry before, and also to support his daughter, Xia Xun directly signed a 3000 million financing agreement with Mei Fang.

To be honest, Mei Fang was also shocked by this move. After all, the maximum amount of money to buy a house in Pengcheng is just over 1000 million. Seeing that her father was so supportive of her husband's career, Xia Yuan, who had been sulking all the time, finally became a little better. She patted her father's arm and complained:

"Really... just make it clear from the beginning. I thought you disliked Ah Fang!"

I want to see this guy dislike...

Xia Xun wanted to say something, but Xia Yuan suddenly came over and gave his old father a big hug.

"Thank you dad."

"Thank you for believing in us."

"Thank you for standing by me."

Well……

No matter how much dissatisfaction Xia Xun had before, it all disappeared in his daughter's embrace.
