OFR – Chapter 150 Begging.

“Mm, alright. Go get the contract.”

Mu Bai nodded and said to Xu Jinhuan.

“Mm-hmm, okay!”

Xu Jinhuan sniffled, then nodded firmly, quickly retrieving the contract she had prepared in advance and handing it to Mu Bai.

As Mu Bai reviewed the contract, she stood by attentively, carefully explaining any technical terms she feared he might not understand.

However, in the midst of her explanation, her phone rang again—it was the landlord of her office building, pressing her for rent once more.

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Xu Jinhuan’s beautiful face.

“Hmm? What’s wrong? Are you in some kind of trouble? If so, you can tell me.”

Mu Bai’s enhanced hearing—thanks to the mystical stream’s power—was extremely sharp.

Since Xu Jinhuan was taking the call right next to him, he could hear everything clearly.

He hadn’t expected that her game studio was in such dire straits that she couldn’t even afford rent.

Originally, he had only intended to invest in the game ‘Power and Prestige’.

But now… his thoughts began to shift.

It wasn’t because he had any personal feelings for Xu Jinhuan.

Nor was he planning to withdraw his investment.

Rather, he was suddenly interested in the game studio itself.

After all, investing in games as a business venture was a time-consuming process.

If he had to find games, test them, and then decide on investments all by himself, it would be extremely inefficient.

But if he owned a game studio, things would be much easier.

Even though Xu Jinhuan’s studio was currently losing money, at least it was still functioning—still developing and publishing games.

If he acquired the studio, with Xu Jinhuan and her team assisting him, he was confident they could quickly discover and invest in promising new games.

After all, Xu Jinhuan was a veteran in the industry.

When it came to identifying a game’s potential, she was certainly more experienced than him.

With this thought in mind, Mu Bai glanced at Xu Jinhuan.

She was biting her lip tightly, clearly struggling to hold back her emotions, unwilling to complain.

Shaking his head slightly, he said,

“Stop biting. If you keep going, you’ll break the skin. If you really don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you.”

He never liked forcing people to explain their troubles.

However, as soon as he said those words, something in his tone must have touched the softest part of Xu Jinhuan’s heart.

Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and spilled down her cheeks.

She looked up at Mu Bai, her voice trembling slightly as she pleaded,

“Xiao Mu… please. Our studio is in serious trouble, but please… don’t withdraw your investment.

I desperately need this 1.6 million to turn things around.

I beg you—I’ll do anything you ask!“

The usually composed and stunning Xu Jinhuan reached out, gripping the sleeve of Mu Bai’s shirt, pleading with him.

She was terrified.

Afraid that this young man would coldly reject her, just like last time—leaving without a second thought.

“Alright, stop crying. First, tell me in detail—how bad are your studio’s losses?“

Seeing her break down, Mu Bai sighed.

He grabbed a few napkins from the table and handed them to her.

He hadn’t expected a simple investment discussion to turn into such an emotional drama.

Still, he was intrigued by the studio.

So, he decided to hear her out.

As long as the losses weren’t completely catastrophic, he might just step in and help—not only her but the entire studio.

“Mm… thank you, Xiao Mu.”

Xu Jinhuan wiped her tears, then quickly pulled up a financial report on QQ.

“I have our studio’s year-end financial report from New Year’s. I’ll send it to you now.

But Xiao Mu, please listen to me—we may have lost over 3 million yuan this year, but I’ve already used my own savings to cover the shortfall.

Right now, we only owe six months of wages to our team, plus the office rent.

I swear—as long as we secure your 1.6 million investment, we can turn things around with ‘Power and Prestige’.

Xiao Mu, please believe in me just this once, okay?“

As she sent the report, she continued pleading desperately.
