In the spacious and bright private office, the blinds softened the harsh afternoon sunlight.

Lin Yuan sat behind his large desk, while Gu Jia sat opposite him, holding a thick stack of ledgers and invoices.

"Lin Yuan, this is a detailed breakdown of all the accounts since our studio was established."

Gu Jia pushed the account book in front of Lin Yuan, her brows furrowing slightly, her tone revealing a hint of worry.

"The rent is three months' deposit and one month's rent in advance. In addition, there are the final payment for renovations, the purchase of high-end computers, server rentals, and the initial operating reserve funds... The little money I have is almost gone."

She sighed and looked at Lin Yuan with a hint of helplessness.

"If we recruit a few more core technical personnel or take on a large project that requires upfront funding, our cash flow could dry up at any time."

Seeing Gu Jia's meticulous calculations, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the money."

He reached into his pocket, pulled out a black bank card, and gently pushed it in front of Gu Jia.

"There are fifteen million here."

Lin Yuan spoke in a calm tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"From now on, we can buy whatever the studio needs, instead of being stingy like before."

"Fifteen million... fifteen million?!"

Gu Jia looked as if she had been struck by lightning, her eyes widening suddenly, her voice cracking.

She stared blankly at the flimsy bank card on the table, then at Lin Yuan's calm and collected face, her mind a complete blank.

"Lin Yuan, you...you're not joking, are you?"

Gu Jia swallowed hard, then asked incredulously, "Where did you get so much money? Didn't we agree that we'd each contribute 500,000?"

"Of course I'm not joking."

Lin Yuan picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said seriously, "You don't need to worry about the money. You just need to know that this money is clean and there's enough for us to do whatever we want."

He put down his teacup and stared intently at Gu Jia.

"When I first opened my studio, I had limited funds, so I could only operate on a small scale and test the waters first."

"But things are different now. Since we're going to do it, we don't need to confine ourselves to this small office of a few dozen square meters."

"I want you to take this money, rent an entire floor of office space, buy the top-of-the-line server equipment, and recruit a top-notch technical team."

Lin Yuan tapped the table and said, word by word.

"What we're opening isn't just an ordinary software outsourcing studio, but a truly competitive technology company!"

Technology company?

Gu Jia's heart raced instantly, and her breathing became rapid.

The 15 million yuan in start-up capital, coupled with Lin Yuan's grand vision, made her feel like she was dreaming.

But after a brief moment of excitement, Gu Jia calmed down.

She looked at Lin Yuan, her expression becoming extremely serious.

"Lin Yuan, we agreed back then that each of us would invest 500,000 yuan, and each of us would own 50% of the shares."

"But now, you've come up with a full fifteen million, while I... I simply can't come up with that much money."

Gu Jia shook her head, her attitude resolute.

"If that's the case, then the shareholding issue will have to be renegotiated."

"Based on the proportion of investment, you own more than 90%, and I only own a few percent. That's reasonable."

"Although I'm short of money, I'm definitely not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others. If you don't agree to change the shareholding, I can't accept this money."

Seeing Gu Jia's serious and unyielding demeanor, Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

In this materialistic society, to remain sober and refrain from greed when faced with a huge sum of 15 million, this girl's character is truly admirable.

He smiled, waved his hand, and interrupted Gu Jia.

"The shareholding arrangement is settled for now, no need to change it."

"Why?" Gu Jia asked anxiously.

"Because from now on, the company's daily operations, team management, and business coordination will all be your responsibility."

Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and looked at her with a half-smile.

"I hate trouble, so I'll be a hands-off manager from now on. The effort and energy you put in are far more valuable than money."

"Consider your 50% share as your labor and management contribution."

"That's fair, isn't it?"

"But..." Gu Jia wanted to argue.

"No buts." Lin Yuan raised his hand directly, making the final decision, "It's settled then. If you refuse again, you're treating me like an outsider."

Having said all that, Gu Jia had no choice but to shut her mouth.

She absolutely will not accept those shares that are not rightfully hers!

He took a deep breath and solemnly accepted the black bank card with both hands.

The moment her fingertips touched the card, she felt its weight, as if it carried a tremendous weight.

She gripped the card tightly, looking at the man before her with a mix of emotions.

She really didn't understand why Lin Yuan trusted her so much.

They hadn't known each other for very long, and their relationship wasn't deep enough for them to entrust their lives to each other.

Isn't he afraid that he could take the 15 million and just buy a plane ticket and run away?

Seeing the complex look in Gu Jia's eyes, Lin Yuan simply smiled faintly and offered no further explanation.

Looking at Lin Yuan's calm and composed expression, Gu Jia's inexplicable panic gradually subsided.

Yes, since Lin Yuan trusts me so much, if I hesitate or be coy, I'll just seem petty.

"Okay! From now on, you can rest assured that you'll leave the company's affairs to me. I'll do my best!"

Gu Jia took a deep breath, carefully put the bank card away from her body, and her fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes.

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject: "Now that the funds are in place, we need to have a catchy name."

"A name?" Gu Jia paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "I've actually thought of a few these past few days, like Hongyuan Technology, Xingchen Software..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Lin Yuan quickly stopped him, shaking his head with a smile, "It's too ordinary. You wouldn't be able to find it in a crowd. It has no distinctive features at all."

He stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the endless stream of cars below, and pondered for a moment.

"Let's call it Farshine Technology."

"Yuanyao Technology?" Gu Jia murmured, savoring the words.

"Yes, Yuanyao." Lin Yuan turned around, his gaze deep.

"Far ahead means that we must have a long-term vision and our technology must go further than others."

"Yao is the light of the sun, moon and stars, which means that our technological products can illuminate the entire industry like light."

"Yuanyao Technology..." Gu Jia's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and she couldn't help but clap her hands in approval.

"This is a great name! It has both grandeur and imposing presence, and it's also easy to pronounce!"

"Then it's settled." Lin Yuan snapped his fingers.

"Go register this name tomorrow, and while you're at it, sign the contract for the new office space."

"No problem! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Gu Jia said with great enthusiasm.

……

It was evening.

Lin Yuan, along with Gu Jia, and the newly recruited Zhang Xiaofei and Su Xiaoxiao, arrived at a high-end private restaurant in the city center.

Now that the company has upgraded to a technology company and welcomed new members, a welcome and celebration dinner is naturally indispensable.

The atmosphere inside the private room was very harmonious.

"Come on, everyone, raise your glasses." Lin Yuan stood up and picked up the wine glass in front of him.

"Today's meal serves two purposes: first, to welcome Xiaofei and Xiaoxiao to our Yuanyao Technology family; and second, to celebrate our company's upcoming milestone!"

"From now on, we'll be brothers and sisters who eat from the same pot."

"As long as everyone works together, I, Lin Yuan, guarantee that I will never treat anyone who fights alongside me unfairly!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The crisp sound of four people clinking glasses echoed in the private room.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere became even more lively.

Zhang Xiaofei and Su Xiaoxiao completely let loose, flanking Lin Yuan on either side, addressing him as "President Lin" repeatedly and toasting him with great enthusiasm.

"President Lin, from now on, I'll do whatever you say! I absolutely won't let you down!" Zhang Xiaofei patted his chest and promised.

"Yes, President Lin, the name of Yuanyao Technology that you mentioned today is so impressive! I will definitely work hard and live up to your trust!" Su Xiaoxiao said with admiration.

Seeing the two of them looking like they wanted to rip their hearts out, Lin Yuan smiled and clinked glasses with them.

He picked up his wine glass, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally settling on Gu Jia.

Gu Jia was smiling at everyone, her eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

Lin Yuan knew very well that this meal not only brought them closer together, but also completely bound their hearts to the giant ship that was about to set sail, "Yuanyao Technology".

From this moment on, his technological and business empire has officially begun!
