Back to eighteen, if I don't stand up, I'll be wasted

Chapter 87: Only Eat Those Two Words
Song Xin signed the agreement last night, but hasn't handed it to Li Yi yet.

Two hundred thousand.

As long as she sells those photos, she can get 200,000.

It’s almost enough to cover my mother’s medical expenses.

There might even be a little money left over.

After Li Yi came back, she went to Li Yi's room and handed him the signed contract.

Li Yi took a look, opened the cabinet, and took out the 50,000 yuan inside.

"You can keep the 50,000. I'm not in a hurry to use it. As for the 200,000, the company needs a few days to go through the formalities. I will help you keep an eye on it and have the company transfer it to you as soon as possible."

Li Yi would definitely use the company account for the 200,000 yuan, and he only had more than 400,000 yuan in his hands.

The original amount was more than 600,000 yuan. I invested 85,000 yuan in Liu Hui and his team, and bought a bunch of second-hand consoles, spending tens of thousands of yuan, plus the 50,000 yuan I withdrew a few days ago.

He plans to use the more than 400,000 yuan to set up a separate company and integrate products.

For example, he must tailor a clothing brand for Yang Ruoxue. In the future, the premium of clothing brands will be very high. He cannot let Wuyou Media take all of this premium, because then he will have to give Yang Ruoxue a share.

Finding a company as a transit point is the option that maximizes his benefits.

For example, a piece of clothing that costs 99 yuan can be sold at 299 yuan after being transferred, and then sold at 599 yuan by Wuyou Media.
You can also ask someone else to be responsible for all operations at Wuyou Media, and the order will be placed at 299 per set. It has nothing to do with them what the other party's cost is.

The two companies each do their own thing and make their own profits.

Otherwise, if he gave half of all the profits to Yang Ruoxue, he would suffer a huge loss.

……

This time, Song Xin did not refuse and quietly put the money away.

Looking at Li Yi, she seemed to be hesitant to speak, because today was her birthday, and except for her mother who called her this morning, no one had said happy birthday to her.

Thinking about her current bad relationship with Li Yi and the fact that she had caused him to borrow a large sum of money, she thought that this guy probably wouldn't even remember her birthday, so she hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.

Although it is my eighteenth birthday, what’s the use? I have already sold everything I have, including my principles, bottom line, and dignity.

From now on, everyone can look down on her.

Li Yi probably will too.

"Then I'll leave first."

She whispered.

Li Yi replied without even looking up: "Yeah."

Song Xin returned to her room and sat on the edge of the bed, becoming increasingly confused.

Other people’s eighteen-year-olds were different from her eighteen-year-olds. The more she thought about it, the darker her life seemed, and she couldn’t help crying.

I don’t know how long it was before there was a knock on the door.

She wiped her tears, walked over and opened the door. It was the cook.

"Xiao Song, someone sent you something."

"Ok?"

Song Xin saw a box in her aunt's hand.

The box is wrapped in transparent plastic so you can clearly see what's inside.

A birthday cake with very clear words on it.

"Xiao Song, today is your birthday, so why don't you stay here for dinner? I'll make a few more dishes and reserve some for the hospital. You can bring them over after you finish your meal."

"Well, okay, thank you, Auntie."

Song Xin took the cake.

"Happy birthday, Xiao Song."

The aunt said this before she left, and a smile appeared on Song Xin's originally confused face.

After returning to the room, she opened the cake.

Who sent the cake? There were only a few people who might know it was her birthday.

My mother doesn't know how to order takeout using her phone, and no one else who knows her birthday can know her current address, so... there is only one person left.

She immediately took out her phone and called Li Yi. Soon, the call was connected, and Li Yi asked, "What's wrong? Are you changing your mind? It's not too late to change your mind now. The contract hasn't been sent to the boss yet."

"No, thank you for the birthday cake."

"Is that all? Is it worth wasting your phone bill?"

"I... am afraid to disturb you at work, so can you have cake with me when you are free?"

"Then bring the cake up."

"Ok."

Song Xin's mood suddenly improved.

Although she made a decision that would make her unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life, at least now, she was very happy.

Soon, she came to Li Yi's room with the cake, opened the door and walked in.

After putting the cake down, she was about to cut it when Li Yi took out a candle, inserted it, and found a lighter to light it. "Make a wish first."

"it is good."

Song Xin smiled and clasped his hands together.

She was extremely pious. She hoped her mother would recover her health and that Li Yi would become richer and richer...

That was enough. She only hoped that these two wishes could come true. Any more would make her seem greedy, and the gods would not grant her wish.

Then, blow out the candles.

"Which one do you want? The one with more fruit or the one with more chocolate?"

"I'll cut it myself."

Li Yi took the plastic knife, and with a flick of the knife, he cut off the two words on the cake, along with the cake underneath.

"Ahhh... Why did you cut off my name? No one else will know it's my birthday..."

Li Yi asked, "Who else do you want to let know about your birthday?"

"I want to take it to the hospital..."

"Your mother can't eat it."

After saying that, Li Yi sat down and started eating.

Song Xin also cut a small piece and sat with Li Yi.

After taking a bite, it was just as sweet as she had imagined.

Looking at Li Yi, she said, "You didn't forget my birthday. You deserve praise."

"I didn't remember originally, but I've been busy working on your contract these past few days. I've been filling out your identity information a lot, and since you looked so pitiful, I spent some money."

"Who's pitiful? I'm fine."

"Anyway, if you say it's good, then it's good..."

……

At lunch, Auntie made a bowl of longevity noodles specifically for Song Xin.

After dinner, several people in the villa started to practice driving. After Song Xin came back from the hospital, he also started practicing.

Li Yi got the hang of it the fastest. Although he had been driving automatic transmission cars in his previous life, this manual transmission training car was not particularly difficult to use and he was able to adapt to it in a few minutes.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Li Yi finished his work for the day after editing dozens of pictures.

I originally wanted to take a shower and go to sleep, but Song Xin came over again.

"What?"

"Come sleep with you, I can't sleep alone."

She didn't sleep last night and was in a very low mood.

I feel better today, and I still feel most at ease sleeping next to Li Yi.

After saying that, she climbed directly onto the bed and returned to the position where she had been sleeping for the past few days.

Then he held Li Yi's pillow in his arms and said, "Go take a shower first, I'll warm your pillow for you."
