Chapter 117: Founding of Y-Cosmetics

Ye Lingchen gave Lu Tianxiong a weird look and took a moment to consider.

He was interested.

The merchants taking part would be the top dogs of the country. With a conservative estimate, there should be at least 50 groups. If every group’s chips were similarly worth RMB10,000,000, then that’s a total of RMB500,000,000!

If he took part and won all RMB500,000,000, that would all belong to him, making him a billionaire in an instant!

As a prodigy, Ye Lingchen treated money as dirt. Surely he would not place much importance on a meager sum of RMB500,000,000.

However… it was better to have it than not.

Oftentimes, money represented power. With money, he could have the power to better protect himself.

Ye Lingchen wanted to get stronger quickly as he was scared!

He was a man with a system. Being stuck in the developing stage, were he ever exposed, that would surely make him public enemy number one. How could he not be afraid?

Only when he was unbeatable could he secure the system!

“Alright, I accept,” Ye Lingchen nodded then stressed again, “Remember your promise. I keep my winnings.”

‘I’m not in for the money. I just like to keep my promises…’

There was still over a month before the promised date. Ye Lingchen told them to contact him when the time comes. He then brought Zhang Yunxi along and headed towards his new house.

The location of the royal suite was excellent. They went through a shaded path, passed through two red wooden bridges before seeing a villa with a red roof appear before them.

Unlike other villas, this villa had its own field. The front yard and garden were huge, it was like a scene in a painting.

Rustic, scenic, and peaceful 1!

Entering the villa, the decor followed the modern Chinese style. Furnitures were fully equipped, all made with top-quality redwood to help maintain a constant temperature and humidity. It was an excellent environment to live in.

The first floor’s living room was hollow with a height of at least five meters. A huge gold chandelier was hung in the center of the room, grand and elegant. The stairs were made of wood in a spiral design with an elevator at its core.

Elegant, impressive, and grandiose!

Ye Lingchen smiled in satisfaction. It was ready for him to move in immediately. That would save him a lot of trouble.

If it were any other villa, it would have to go through renovations. That would mean at least another year before he could move in which was an inconvenience.

Zhang Yunxi stood dumbfounded at the door. She was stunned by the overwhelming luxury of such a sigh, not daring to even take a step inside.

In her mind, only castles in a fairy tale could be a match for this place.

It took her some time to muster her courage before she finally stepped foot inside.

“Lingchen, you’re amazing,” Zhang Yunxi sighed in resignation as she checked out the villa.

This house, a dream house for so many people, was so easily purchased by Ye Lingchen.

“Yunxi, this will be my home in the future. At my place, you don’t have to be so reserved,” Ye Linghen said with a smile.

Zhang Yunxi nodded in acknowledgment. Right then, her phone vibrated. A total of RMB1,260,000 was transferred into her bank account!

With some simple deduction, she realized that it was her commission for this unit that Ye Lingchen purchased.

Lu group dared not hold onto Zhang Yunxi’s money, transferring the money to her almost immediately as it was processed.

“Lingchen, this is the money you paid for your unit. I’ll transfer it to you.”

“Since it’s your commission then it’s yours. Just keep it well.”

“No way! Lingchen, are you pitying me, thinking that I’m useless and always bullied?” Zhang Yunxi asked indignantly. She was biting her lips with teary eyes.

Her attitude was firm, insisting on transferring the money to Ye Lingchen.

‘Such a stubborn girl.’

Ye Lingchen felt helpless. Zhang Yunxi had an extremely strong character. From when she first started schooling, she had always fought for first place. Unfortunately, fate seemed to like joking with her, taking away her chance to attend school at the most critical of time.

Furthermore, Zhang Yunxi was a stunning beauty. Most of the time, beauty is a sin. If one had that power that was fine but without it, one would only be bullied.

With Zhang Yunxi’s appearance, it should be easy to rise up the ranks, but at the same time, it was also almost impossible!

Zhang Yunxi was not one to submit easily, therefore landing her in the latter situation.Read more chapter on NovelFull

From her experience at the sales office, one could tell that she would be the center of attention wherever she went.

“Yunxi, what do you plan to do next?” Ye Lingchen asked suddenly.

“I was thinking of looking around for companies that are hiring,” Zhang Yunxi sighed.

She only had her high school diploma. What kind of job could she get in Capital City?

“How about this,” Ye Lingchen smiled as he formulated a plan in his mind, “I’ll keep that RMB1,260,000 with you. On top of that, I’ll transfer another RMB3,240,000 to you, totaling up to RMB4,500,000 as an investment to start a store that you run for me?”

“Lingchen, you don’t have to do this. I can do it on my own.”

“Yunxi, I’m not helping you. I want to start up a store. Do you think I’ll be working for someone else after I graduate?” Ye Lingchen continued, “That’s why I want to start a store now. Isn’t it better to directly be a boss right after I graduate?”

Zhang Yunxi went silent. Ye Lingchen’s reasoning made sense.

“Yunxi, I’m still a student. My time is limited. In Capital City, I only have you as someone I can trust. You must help me!” Ye Lingchen struck while the iron is hot, “I’m only investing, but you’re putting in the effort. All the administrative work will be done by you alone. We’ll each be taking a 50 percent cut of the profit!”

When Zhang Yunxi heard that she was the only one Ye Lingchen could trust, she was secretly happy, “50 percent is too much. I’m just a worker. You can just pay my salary.”

“That won’t do! I’m just sitting at the counter but you’re doing all the work. What about 40/60? I’ll take a little more. If you refuse this anymore I’ll look for someone else!” Ye Lingchen paused, then changed to a pitiful tone, “Hopefully they won’t run away with my money…”

“How can you trust a stranger?!” Zhang Yunxi was agitated, biting her lips, “Fine, I accept.”

“Then that’s a deal!” Ye Lingchen laughed out loud, “I’ll transfer the money to you right away. I’ll leave the store location and recruitment to you then!”

“But… what store are we running?” Zhang Yunxi frowned.

“I’ve decided on that. It’ll be a cosmetic store!” Ye Lingchen exclaimed, “Even the name is set. We’ll call it Y-Cosmetics! I plan to create the world’s number one cosmetics brand!”

Y-Cosmetics?

What kind of name was that?

It did not sound like a name that could become the world’s leading brand in cosmetics!

Zhang Yunxi was flabbergasted, “Don’t you think that name lacked thought?”

“Definitely not. We’ll go with that.” Ye Lingchen nodded his head firmly.

“But… I’m clueless when it comes to cosmetics,” Zhang Yunxi said while blushing embarrassingly.

She was struggling financially. Other than some moisturizers, she had never touched other cosmetics, much less help others with makeup.

“That’s fine. You’re a girl. You’re born with a natural talent for makeup. Moreover, you have me! I’ll teach you.” Ye Lingchen thumped his chest.

“Y-you know about makeup?!”

Zhang Yunxi stared at Ye Lingchen, stupefied.

‘You’re good at studying, fine. You’re good at martial arts, fine. You’re good at gambling, that’s fine too. Now you’re f*cking telling me you’re skilled at makeup too?!’
