"Yes, father. In the JK market, I found someone capable enough to guarantee my returns on investment. Therefore, I decided to invest in that shop," Zhang Wei said, proudly explaining his plan.
"A shop in the JK market? Are you sure of your decision?" his father asked.
"Yes, father, I'm sure! You see, in the upcoming times—" he said.
'Since when was the last time I had a conversation with any of my sons? I have been so invested in my work that I haven't had a proper conversation with them as a father. I forgot they are growing up so fast,' his father thought and smiled for a long time from his heart.
Zhang Wei returned to his room with a $200,000 check. He called Munki to his room.
"Munki, cash this check in my bank account!" he ordered him.
Munki looked at the $200,000 check. He had no idea how the young master got so much money. He remembered him going to Master Hun's study. He expected him to get punished for whatever things they did together, but something happened opposite to his imagination.
"Young master, did your father fill out this check?" he asked.
"Yeah! He gave us money for what we did, as I expected," Zhang Wei said. He patted Munki's back and asked him to go quickly.
"But, how? I thought you were going to get money from your elder sister. What's happening here?" he asked in confusion. His young master was hiding something from him.
"Munki, let me tell you what happened," Zhang Wei said as he started explaining to Munki why his father agreed to pay him the amount.
"What!! That was the case," Munki shouted in response, with his hands on his mouth. After hearing everything from Zhang Wei's mouth, he understood the degree of the situation and his thinking about Zhang Wei.
"I'm sorry, young master. I suspected you of doing something wrong," he apologized for his wrong thinking, which he had since Zhang Wei started asking him to do weird jobs.
"Now you understand, Munki. If you're apologetic, then work hard for me. Also, now go and cash that check," Zhang Wei said as he dropped onto his bed to take a nap.
"I'll do it, young master," he said, bowing to him. At that moment, Munki's phone buzzed. He looked at it, and it was an unknown number. He answered it, and from the other side, a female voice spoke to him.
=>"Hello,"
=>"Okay, yes, I will inform the young master,"
=>"Evening, sharp five pm, okay,"
The call ended as Munki kept his phone back in his pocket. Zhang Wei looked at him and asked who was on the line.
"Young master, it was Xie Ai from Starflex shop. She has asked for a meeting with you today at five pm at her shop," Munki spoke, explaining the details of the call.
"Xie Ai? She finally called. I hope she has a decision for my offer. Munki, go get the check cashed as quickly as possible. We need to have money for the evening," Zhang Wei said. Munki quickly left the room to complete his order.
"Xie Ai...I hope you will accept my offer," Zhang Wei muttered, preparing for possible situations in which he would approach her even if she rejected his offer.
***
That day at JK Market, at five pm, Zhang Wei and Munki arrived at Starflex shop. Upon entering, they were greeted by Grandmother Xie Ruo, who guided them to the main office lounge.
In the main office lounge, Xie Ai was seated on one side of a large desk. Beside her was a gentleman with brown hair and eyes, wearing a suit and holding a briefcase.
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for coming on such short notice," Xie Ai said, getting up and greeting him with a handshake.
"No, don't be! I'm happy you reached your decision. Who's this gentleman?" Zhang Wei asked, looking at the man.
"He is our attorney, Hu Wang!" Xie Ai said.
'Attorney?? This means she is ready to make a deal, right!' Zhang Wei thought.
Attorney Hu Wang also got up and greeted Zhang Wei. "Hello Mr. Zhang. I will be the attorney representing Miss Xie Ai," he said.
Zhang Wei took a seat opposite Xie Ai and Hu Wang. Grandmother Xie Ruo served him some tea, while Munki stood behind him.
"So, you accepted my offer?" Zhang Wei asked Xie Ai.
"Yes, actually, I felt that your offer was necessary for our shop, so I accepted it. I also arranged for the attorney beforehand. I hope it doesn't seem like I decided everything on my own," Xie Ai said, smiling at him. She nodded her head towards Hu Wang before explaining.
"Okay, then shall we sign the deal?" Zhang Wei said.
"Are you sure? Don't you want to check the clauses in the contract?" Xie Ai asked, noting his enthusiasm.
"No, I'll be reading the contract, and then I'll be signing it," Zhang Wei said, scratching his head. "Does it look like I'm rushing?"
"Okay, then please do so," Xie Ai said, gesturing to Hu Wang. He took the prepared documents and gave them to Zhang Wei.
'Lets see.'
Zhang Wei began reading the terms of the contract. The contract stated that each person would own 50% of the shares, with Zhang Wei acting as the financial supporter or angel investor.
He would also have the right to sell his shares to anyone at any time, but Xie Ai would be his first preferred buyer. Xie Ai would be the main CEO and have the final say in anything, holding administrative power.
Zhang Wei's opinion would be taken into consideration for any important decisions regarding the shop. Zhang Wei would buy the 50% share ownership at $100,000, which would be invested in the shop upfront.
"It's great!" Zhang Wei said, nodding towards Xie Ai. She also sighed, thinking that the contract might sound favorable to her, but she wanted to make the shop profitable. She had often heard of businesses shutting down after receiving investments due to irregular demands from investors.
Zhang Wei and Xie Ai both signed the contract, and Attorney Hu Wang nodded his approval. He would do the work of validation.
"Please take care of me," Zhang Wei said after signing the contract.
"Likewise," replied Xie Ai.
At that moment, Zhang Wei's status gave a notification.
(Completed!! Mission 1 => First Business)
(Rewards => Business Management^(Rank A), Mind Reading^(Rank D), Angel Investment $200,000)
"It finally came!" Zhang Wei muttered enthusiastically.
