After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 371 The Greatest Obstacle

Jiang Yichen took a sip of tea, glancing at me almost imperceptibly, his tone carrying a hint of coldness: "Coming back so late, is the dinner party more important than coming home?"

I tiptoed closer to him, a sly smile playing on my lips: "Not at all, we just closed a big deal this time."

"What big business deal could be more important than going home?" His voice was still deep, but his eyes had softened a bit.

I snuggled into his arms and said in a coquettish tone, "I'm only a little late, but I didn't say I wasn't coming back." Then I gently poked his chest with my fingertip.

He sighed helplessly and reached out to tap my nose: "Xiao Huai is already asleep. You certainly know how to pick your time."

I looked up at him, my eyes showing some weariness, but still smiling brightly: "Yes, it's so late, we should go to sleep." After saying that, I leaned softly into his arms.

At this moment, I can feel his heartbeat.

He scooped me up in his arms and gently placed me on the bed, his eyes so deep they made my heart race: "Tonight..."

"What's wrong tonight?" I looked at him innocently, but my fingers unconsciously tightened around his hand, my heart pounding like a drum.

"Go to bed a little later tonight." His deep voice had barely faded when he leaned down and kissed me, his warm breath instantly enveloping me.

That night, they were deeply in love and tossed and turned until very late, but they slept exceptionally well.

The next morning, when I woke up, Jiang Yichen was still fast asleep next to me.

"Jiang Yichen, Jiang Yichen? Wake up, get up." I nudged Jiang Yichen, who looked at me sleepily. "What's wrong, wife? I'm so tired, let me rest for a while."

I stared at him blankly. It was almost nine o'clock, and I was about to be late for work. I had important things to do today.

"Well? Since you can't get up, I'll get up first." I grabbed the blanket and was about to get up.

"Okay, then go home early tonight."

He looked at me with reluctance.

This guy doesn't seem too tired last night.

I combed my hair a couple of times, quickly washed up, and went to the studio.

"Good morning, Sister Gu." Little Sweetie looked at me thoughtfully. "Why do you look so sweet today?"

What? What is Little Sweetie thinking about writing?

I tapped Little Sweetie on the head and went to my office to deal with the cooperation with the Song Group.

I sat in my cramped studio, staring at my desk piled high with files, feeling anxious.

The road to entrepreneurship is far more difficult than imagined. The shortage of funds is like a heavy boulder, making it hard for me to breathe. Although the studio has already gained some reputation in the industry and won the favor of some clients with its high-quality ideas and services, further development and expansion require an injection of funds.

I glanced down at the financial statements in my hand; the numbers were still glaringly obvious. Although the studio's cash flow was barely enough to maintain daily operations, it was far from sufficient to expand its business, recruit more top talent, or even develop new projects.

I sighed, rubbed my temples, and various financing plans kept flashing through my mind, only to be shattered one by one by reality.

Just when I was struggling with the issue of financing, Song Yang found me.

He was dressed in a well-tailored suit as always, with a confident smile on his face.

"Ms. Gu, I heard you've been troubled by the company's financing issues lately?" Song Yang asked bluntly.

I was slightly taken aback, wondering to myself how he was so well-informed, but I still nodded and replied frankly, "Yes, Young Master Song, funding is indeed the biggest obstacle at the moment."

A barely perceptible glint flashed in Song Yang's eyes as he continued, "I do have a way that might help you solve this problem. I know a Swiss private banker who has a keen eye for investment and manages a large amount of capital. I can introduce you to him. If your project can impress him, there's hope for securing funding."

I was pleasantly surprised, but he had tried to win me over last time too. Song Yang's suggestion did sound tempting, but there's no such thing as a free lunch, especially in the business world.

I asked, puzzled, "Song Yang, why are you helping me? There must be some other conditions involved."

Song Yang smiled, leaned back on the sofa, and crossed his arms in front of his chest: "Miss Gu is indeed smart. My condition is very simple. As you know, the Song Group has always wanted to expand its business. You have extensive connections in the industry, and your studio has also accumulated a lot of high-quality contacts. I hope you can use these connections to help the Song Group expand its business in the Asia-Pacific region. Let's exchange some contacts."

"Exchange? That sounds nice." He didn't say it aloud, but he mentally cursed it a hundred times over.

On the one hand, investments from Swiss private bankers can bring about a turning point for my studio, enabling it to achieve a qualitative leap.

On the other hand, while connecting the Song Group with industry giants will require some effort, it also provides an opportunity to establish closer ties, which may benefit the studio's future development.

However, I am also aware that cooperating with the Song Group is not an easy task.

Although Song Yang is young, he is extremely shrewd and calculating, and every step he takes is carefully planned.

If I agree to his conditions, things could get even more complicated in the future. But right now, I don't seem to have a better choice.

I looked up at Song Yang firmly and said, "I can consider your proposal. However, we still need to discuss the specific details of the cooperation."

Song Yang nodded, a satisfied smile on his face: "Of course, cooperation is a two-way street, and the details naturally need to be discussed clearly. However, I believe that with Miss Gu's abilities, she will definitely be able to bring about a win-win situation for both of us."

"It's definitely going to be a win-win situation! Haha."

Over the next few hours, we discussed the details of the collaboration in detail. Song Yang suggested that he would arrange for me to meet with the Swiss banker soon, and that I would need to provide the Song Group with the necessary support for its business expansion in the coming months.

We discussed specific projects, timelines, and even potential future profit sharing.

After the conversation ended, Song Yang got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, he reminded me, "Miss Gu, this is a rare opportunity, I hope you can make the most of it."
