Chapter 58 - Why Can't I Start A Company?
Xu Nuan who was eating her spicy lobsters looked up when she noticed him staring at her. She placed her chopsticks down and wiped the corner of her mouth using the napkin and said, " Mr. Han, stop staring at me. Otherwise I will think that you want to kiss me." she grinned after saying this.
Han Zihao was startled when she suddenly looked up and caught him staring at her. He hurriedly picked his glass and sipped on the water, but he choked upon hearing her words. He stared at her in disbelief how easily she can talk about a kiss.
"Cough, Cough"
' Does this girl have no shame?', he wondered while patting his chest to calm down.
Even he is feeling embarrassed, but how come she is grinning so shamelessly and annoyingly, even though it's not annoying and she looks beautiful but she is too aggressive.
He cleared his throat and wiped his face with a napkin and put the glass of water back on the table.
He straightened his back and said, " Stop your nonsense and tell me what you wanted to talk about."
Xu Nuan picked up her wine glass and swirled it slowly while inhaling its fragrance and said, " Hmm. I don't think that today is not the right day. Let's meet tomorrow, I will tell you then." she smiled.
He looked at her sternly and said, " Stop finding ways to meet me. Tell me the reason now or never. Your choice!" he said while picking up his fork and knife again.
Xu Nuan knitted her brows as he figured her intentions. She was indeed finding ways to meet him and see him more.
' Sigh. This man is too smart for his own good. Hmph.'
She sighed helplessly and placed the wine glass back on the table and leaned back on the chair; she crossed her legs and folded her hands in front of her chest and looked at him with a professional and confident smile which surprised the latter.
" Mr. Han, I know you have a huge business to manage and you have expanded your reach to almost every kind of business. From food products to automobiles to textiles, Han Corporation can be seen everywhere. But...There is a field which Han Corporation has failed to reach yet." she raised her hand and played with her hair strand while staring at him.
He knitted his brows and looked at her in interest. She has done some significant research on him. He raised his brows as her talk started to interest him, " And what is it?"
Her lips curled up as she said, " It's...the Entertainment industry. Han Corporation is everywhere but not in that industry. Even though Han Liang is working as an idol and was a significant part of that industry but it doesn't belong to Han Corporation, does it?"
" So what do you suggest, we should do?" He said while cutting his steak with a knife and taking a bite of it.
They were eating together but both were eating different kinds of dishes. She was mainly eating spicy Chinese food while he was eating mildly seasoned western cuisine.
"So...I want to propose a business offer. I want to start an Entertainment company and I want you to invest in it. This way, you will be able to reach this industry and I can fulfill my dream to start my business. Isn't it a win-win situation for both parties?" she said while looking at him expectantly.
Han Zihao paused in his actions and placed the fork down. He stared at her silently as he tried to decipher her thoughts. He couldn't understand if she was joking or being serious. However, her expressions were telling that she was serious but her words were not matching with her expressions.
He chuckled and said, " What? You are joking, right? You want to start an Entertainment company?"
She frowned hearing his mocking tone. She pursed his lips and controlled herself from biting him on his lips. She took a deep breath and tried to maintain a professional smile.
" What do you mean by this? Why can't I start a company?" she asked while staring at him sternly.
" Xu Nuan, you're young, that's why I am telling you that, that's not how things work in the industry. No one will be willing to invest in your business which has no scope or no plan. Moreover, you have no qualifications either. What do you know about business? Do you think that you can run a business just by setting up an office, a few employees, and done? What comes after that? Do you know anything about its management? How does it work?"
" You're talking about the Entertainment industry, right? Do you even know how competitive and complicated that industry is? It's even more complicated than any other industry, not anyone can survive in that industry. So stop dreaming and prepare to enter into a university rather than dreaming about unreal things." he said seriously.
He wasn't trying to mock her or something but he wants to tell her that it was not so simple to establish a business with no backbone in the industry. Moreover, she is just a young girl who has no idea about how business works. How can she even stay in that industry?
Xu Nuan stared at him for a while without saying anything. Han Zihao thought that she was seriously considering his words.
After a while, she sighed softly and said, " Hmm..you're right. I am young and don't have many qualifications either. I am just a high school graduate who didn't even manage to get into a reputed university. But Mr. Han, you tell me, since when degrees are required to open a business? Many businessmen are high school dropouts and now are a billionaire. Now you tell me, which is more important, degree or capability?" she stared at him without avoiding his suspicious gaze.
She was smiling confidently because she knows what she is doing. In her past life, she became a trainee when she was 18, right after her high school graduation. She doesn't want to study further but later, her grandfather came to meet her.
He made a deal with her that he will not force her to leave this industry and he will never interfere in her life if she enters a university and completes her business studies. She knows what he was planning, he was trying to prepare her to take over the business in the future. However, she had no interest in the business at that time.
But she still did as he said and without anyone knowing, she was studying business and giving exams for her university. The university she studied in, was established in Singapore and was known as the topmost universities when it comes to business studies. Fortunately, she doesn't need to go there and study. The exceptions can be made based on the circumstances and thankfully, in her situation, she got the chance to take lectures and exams from her place. This way, she managed to finish her education, without anyone knowing or disturbing her workflow.
After working in an industry for so long, she started to understand the business and always wanted to establish her entertainment label. However, she did not think seriously about it at that time because of Qin Ju, as she gave priority to him more than her desire to establish her own business.
' How stupid of her!'
However, now she is Xu Nuan and not Jiang Yue, she wanted to fulfill that dream of her. She has spent 5 years of life on stage, performing and enjoying the limelight. But now, she wanted to make music and stay close to the stage, while being at the backstage.
Music will still be the number one priority for her.
