OFR – Chapter 223 Investment completed

After interacting a few times, Mu Bai gradually realized that Xu Jinhuan was indeed an exceptional woman.

She wasn’t like the typical young girls who liked to act cute and whiny, nor did she have the aloof, queen-like attitude of those beautiful, self-important career women.

What she had was gentleness and grace.

She was also empathetic, knowing exactly what to say and do at the right moments—and she had her own career.

You could say she was nearly perfect, the kind of woman you’d want to marry.

Realizing this, Mu Bai was a bit surprised. Why was someone as outstanding as Xu Jinhuan still single?

Was it because she was too excellent, to the point where other men felt intimidated?

Or was there another reason?

After pondering it for a moment, Mu Bai shook his head and let it go. After all, it was her private matter, and prying into it was meaningless.

Bringing his thoughts back to the present, he began signing the contract with Yun Wenxi.

Now that they had agreed on the investment amount and equity, the contract didn’t take long to finalize.

After about half an hour, all three copies of the contract were signed.

During this time, Mu Bai had also transferred the 2.6 million yuan investment to the game studio’s bank account via online banking.

After confirming receipt of the funds, a visible trace of joy appeared on Yun Wenxi’s face as he said, “Mr. Mu, it’s really been a pleasure doing business with you. This is the first time I’ve closed a game investment deal in just one sitting. I truly hope we’ll have the chance to work together again.”

“Oh? A pleasure?”

Mu Bai chuckled softly.

Though he wasn’t sure what Yun Wenxi was really thinking, judging by his earlier helpless expression when facing Xu Jinhuan, it probably wasn’t that pleasant.

Realizing he’d been caught being a bit disingenuous, Yun Wenxi gave an awkward smile, then said sincerely, “Alright, I admit I chose the wrong words. But Mr. Mu, I genuinely hope we can work together again in the future. You’re the most straightforward investor I’ve ever met. Rest assured, any future game projects we bring to you will be our best—not just filler.”

“Alright, I’m looking forward to it as well,” Mu Bai nodded.

Just as he finished speaking, a line of glowing text—only visible to him—appeared in front of his eyes.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully investing in the game Primordial Immortal Fate. This game has received a rating of 85. Special reward: 30,000 Net Coins. Current Net Coin balance: 98,000+.”

The game investment side quest had progressed once again.

And surprisingly, Primordial Immortal Fate turned out to have a very high potential rating—85 points.

It looked like Yun Wenxi hadn’t been exaggerating earlier; the game truly had the potential to become a big hit.

Even the last mobile game Mu Bai invested in, Power and Status, only had a rating of 80.

Investing just over two million for this? Definitely a good deal.

Not only did he earn 30,000 Net Coins, but he also acquired 40% equity in a game that could go viral.

Of course, a large part of the credit went to Xu Jinhuan.

After all, she was the one who discovered Primordial Immortal Fate.

While Mu Bai was reading the glowing system message, Yun Wenxi exchanged a few more polite words and then took his leave.

Once he left, only Mu Bai and Xu Jinhuan remained in the room.

At that moment, Xu Jinhuan seemed to remember something. She bit her lip slightly and asked Mu Bai somewhat sheepishly, “Mu Hao, I didn’t mess anything up just now, did I?”

In truth, Xu Jinhuan had regretted her actions after bargaining with Yun Wenxi.

She originally thought that haggling during an investment deal was normal.

And deep down, she just wanted to do something for Mu Hao, who had helped her through her most difficult time. So she had taken it upon herself to negotiate the price of Primordial Immortal Fate on his behalf.

But for some reason, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she might have accidentally disrupted the invisible yet undeniable aura of wealth and dominance that surrounded Mu Hao.

As she dwelled on this thought, she heard Mu Bai softly shake his head and say, “Silly girl, don’t overthink it. By the way, your bank account hasn’t changed, has it?”

“Nope, it’s still the same. Why, Mu Hao?” Xu Jinhuan asked curiously.

She didn’t know why Mu Hao was suddenly asking about her bank account, but she still answered seriously.

Her voice was as pleasant and sweet as ever.

Mu Bai then said gently, “It’s nothing. I just transferred the 200,000 you saved through bargaining to you as a bonus. Don’t refuse it. If you really want to thank me, just help me find more good game projects in the future.”

Hearing this, Xu Jinhuan was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.

She hadn’t expected that the 200,000 yuan she had bargained off would end up being gifted to her as a bonus.

At that moment, she also realized something clearly—her decision to take the initiative and negotiate for Mu Hao had been entirely unnecessary.

After all, someone who didn’t even care about investing a few million wouldn’t possibly be concerned about a 200,000 yuan difference.
