At 5:30 in the evening, in Zuimo Court, at the ho of the Yan siblings.
Yan Feifan was basking in the gentle evening sun, a warm breeze caressing his skin. It felt wonderful.
He, Yan Ziruo, Yu Suye, and Song Yi were currently gathered around a solid wood coffee table.
The coffee table was set up on the spacious balcony of the master bedroom.
"Before we get down to business, there's sothing I need to bring up..."
Yan Feifan took a sip of his tea, set the cup down gently, and continued, "I got a call from Mr. Zheng at the police precinct. He said two girls went to the station to file a report, and they had a video..."
Yan Feifan quickly summarized the situation, then added, "Mr. Zheng said there are two possible explanations for how this happened."
"One possibility is that soone in Cheng Lezhi's little group had a crisis of conscience, or maybe soone decided to kick him while he's down, and they leaked the video."
"The other possibility is that an expert hacker broke into the electronic devices of Cheng Lezhi and his friends and stole the video."
"Mr. Zheng made a point of saying..."
Yan Feifan looked at Song Yi and went on, "Technology should be used for the right reasons. If you act recklessly, you'll eventually slip up and pay the price."
Song Yi t Yan Feifan's gaze and asked point-blank, "Feifan, are you suggesting you suspect ?"
Yan Feifan nodded, not mincing his words. "I do have my suspicions."
"Your family's company is a high-tech enterprise. You must have a few computer experts, right?"
"Besides, the timing is too much of a coincidence. We were just talking about this sort of thing on Friday night."
Yan Feifan quickly added, "Song Yi, don't worry. I didn't tell Mr. Zheng I suspected you."
"I told him explicitly that neither I nor any of my friends are expert hackers."
"Besides, from the way Mr. Zheng was talking, it doesn't sound like he has any intention of investigating it further."
"He just wanted to remind that if such an expert hacker does exist, they should be careful not to cross any lines."
The mont Yan Feifan finished speaking, Yan Ziruo chid in curiously, "Song Yi, did you really have soone do it?"
Song Yi shook her head. "My brother's company is in telecommunications technology. We don't have people with hacking skills."
She said gravely, "I was not the one who had this done."
Yan Ziruo let out an "Oh," then declared, "Well, whoever did it, I want to thank that unsung hero."
"Now that bastard Cheng Lezhi will be locked up for several years, right?"
Yan Feifan nodded. "Mr. Zheng said there are two victims who ca forward, and it was a group assault."
"The circumstances are considered especially egregious, so the sentence will be at least ten years."
Just then, Song Yi spoke, her tone dripping with disdain. "It took them this long to go to the police? And only after they got their hands on a video."
"You're telling that after those two won woke up, they didn't feel anything was wrong with their bodies?"
Song Yi scoffed. "I bet those two girls' motives for hanging out with them weren't so pure to begin with."
Yan Feifan waved his hand dismissively. "Let's leave that for the police to investigate. We shouldn't speculate."
"Let's get back to business."
Song Yi took the lead, clearly and thodically repeating what she had discussed with Yan Feifan on the phone that morning.
She emphasized, "My brother, as well as a few successful titans of industry I know, are all very optimistic about this project of ours."
"I'm ready to get the ball rolling."
Song Yi looked at Yu Suye and asked, "How much capital can you invest?"
Yu Suye refilled Yan Feifan's teacup, then said thoughtfully, "If there's no rush, I can sell my place at Shengjing Apartnts. Then I could invest six million."
"I could also borrow so from my family and relatives, and I could apply for an interest-free loan from my family's venture capital fund..."
She did a quick calculation and said, "If you give a little more ti to raise the funds, I could probably invest fifteen or sixteen million at most."
"Su Ye, don't overextend yourself!"
Yan Feifan quickly advised, "Starting a business is risky. There's no need to put all your money on the line."
Yu Suye gave a small smile. "Feifan, I have one hundred percent confidence in the two projects you proposed."
"When there's a project that's sure to make money, of course I want to invest as much as I can."
She turned to Song Yi and added, "Your brother is a renowned genius in communications technology and a successful entrepreneur."
"I'm sure you're no slouch yourself..."
Yan Feifan jumped in again, trying to persuade her. "Su Ye, you can't just assu that. Take and my sister for example..."
"Yan Feifan!"
Yan Feifan looked at his fuming sister who had cut him off, and he also noticed that Song Yi's gaze had turned quite sharp.
He realized he had said the wrong thing again. 'And I managed to offend two won at once.'
He shrank back in his seat, picked up his teacup, and took small sips, not daring to say another word.
In the silence that followed, Song Yi took several agreents out of the briefcase she'd brought and handed them out.
"These are the company investnt agreents. I had my brother's legal advisor help draft them. Please take a look."
Yu Suye took an agreent and quickly skimd it, seeing that company shares were to be determined by the amount invested.
However, Yan Feifan's two project ideas were valued at one million, which would be counted as part of his investnt.
Just then, Yan Ziruo's voice rang out, full of excitent.
"Hey, shouldn't we first co up with a good company na? Sothing catchy, impressive, and morable!"
At her words, Yu Suye looked up at Yan Feifan.
She noticed that Song Yi had also turned her gaze to him.
"Don't look at . I'm terrible at coming up with nas!" Yan Feifan said, waving his hands dismissively.
Song Yi and Yu Suye exchanged a look, a silent consensus passing between them, before Song Yi chuckled. "We weren't going to ask you to na it. We've already decided on one."
"What is it?"
"Feifan!"
Song Yi elaborated, "To be precise, the na is... Extraordinary dical Technology Co., Ltd."
She explained, "Feifan, with your talent and trajectory, you're bound to beco a world-renowned dical expert."
"As a dical company doing business with dical institutions across the country, it's only natural that we'd want to borrow your na."
Yan Ziruo said excitedly, "Extraordinary dical, Extraordinary Group... that na really is impressive and morable."
Then a thought struck her, and she asked worriedly, "Song Yi, hasn't a na like that already been registered by soone else?"
Song Yi chuckled. "Ziruo, I've already checked."
"In the fields of dical instrunts, dical equipnt, and dical technology, that na hasn't been registered yet."
"We're free to use it."
Yan Ziruo let out an excited "Yes!" and slapped her brother hard on the shoulder.
"Feifan, they're using your na for the company! You must feel so honored and proud, right?"
"Sis, this isn't an honor. It's a heavy burden."
Yan Feifan said with a serious expression, "The standard I hold myself to is the pursuit of excellence and perfection."
"If we're doing business under my na and all sorts of issues like quality problems pop up, won't my reputation be severely damaged?"
Song Yi replied with a solemn expression, "The pursuit of excellence and perfection will also be our corporate culture and mission."
"Feifan, I will work hard to ensure the company's products, just like your dical skills, will be marveled at and trusted by all who use them..."
The na "Extraordinary" was unanimously confird.
In the ensuing discussion, the three parties finalized their respective investnt amounts.
The Yan siblings: a six-million cash investnt, plus the one-million-dollar valuation for the project ideas.
Yu Suye: a six-million cash investnt.
Song Yi: a fifteen-million cash investnt.
The three parties agreed that for any future financing rounds, the current partners would have priority.
At the sa ti, as a check on the majority shareholder, Song Yi, they agreed that for any major corporate decisions, she must have the support of either Yan Feifan or Yu Suye...
They continued their discussion until seven in the evening, when they were interrupted by a knock on the door from Du Qiu, the housekeeper who had arrived for work at five.
"Dinner is ready..."
