Chapter 14: Everything a Devoted Admirer Could Ask For!

Ten days later.

It was Sunday, and Qiao Xinxin was livestreaming in her rented apartment when she suddenly received a call from Lin Fan.

"Ah, you're already downstairs? I'll be right there!"

Qiao Xinxin hadn't expected Lin Fan to actually come looking for her. She hurried downstairs and invited him in.

Lin Fan had mentioned starting his own company, claiming he could get everything ready within a few days. She thought he was joking—after all, the process of founding a company is complicated and can't be completed in just a handful of days.

Yet when she saw Lin Fan again, he had transformed into the general manager of Genesis Media.

Dressed in a sharp suit, his extraordinary presence was even more striking than ten days earlier. And he had brought a contract.

"Genesis? Happy World? Are you really planning to compete with President Wang?"

Seeing Lin Fan had named his company Genesis, just one character different from Happy World Entertainment, it was clear he intended to take revenge on Wang Dezhi.

"You know what that old fox has done, don't you? I've been tolerating him for long enough," Lin Fan said with a sly smile. "I'm going to poach talent, bring over the hosts from my previous company, and send him right back to square one!"

The real reason, though, was that the system had issued a task. If he completed it, he would gain a mansion and luxury car worth tens of millions.

Yet in Qiao Xinxin’s eyes, his words only made him more charming and confident, even a little domineering.

For a naïve, pure-hearted girl like her, Lin Fan’s resolute actions and sense of justice were irresistibly attractive.

"I’ve already prepared the contract. Once you sign, you’ll be Genesis Media’s first female host. Take a look and see if there’s anything you want to add."

Lin Fan was decisive, producing the contract on the spot.

"I trust you," Qiao Xinxin said, glancing over it briefly before signing, then asked how the company preparations were going.

"At the moment, it’s just the two of us. But don’t worry, I’ll recruit more staff soon..." Lin Fan replied honestly.

He was currently juggling all roles—manager, finance, network administrator, and operations. Fortunately, he had experience, and he was essentially replicating Happy World Entertainment, so he could handle everything himself.

"This place is too small for you. I’ll buy you a bigger apartment..."

Lin Fan surveyed the less-than-twenty-square-meter room, shook his head, and declared she needed a better place.

Hearing this, Qiao Xinxin’s heart fluttered wildly. The more considerate Lin Fan was, the more overwhelmed she felt.

"A new apartment... Isn’t that unnecessary?" she said shyly, increasingly convinced Lin Fan was trying to woo her.

She had daydreamed about becoming his girlfriend in recent days. But Lin Fan had told her he already had an official girlfriend. Now, his warmth made her wonder if he was casting a wide net, juggling multiple women.

Lin Fan easily read her thoughts. To prevent misunderstanding, he said earnestly, "You’re thinking too much. It’s in the contract! Besides the monthly salary of a hundred thousand, I have to provide you with a house and a car."

"The point of buying a new apartment is so you’ll have more space to showcase your talents—dancing, playing instruments, and so on. Didn’t you say you play the zither? This place is far too small!"

Qiao Xinxin suspiciously picked up the contract and checked it carefully. Sure enough, there was a clause requiring Lin Fan to provide her with a house and car.

"I have to follow the rules, so don’t refuse," Lin Fan said with a firm tone.

He had deliberately added this rule—to increase his wealth. The more he spent on women, the more wealth he gained. The so-called "simp gold" could only be used for the goddess, but the system’s returned wealth was his to keep.

"Alright then, I’ll accept your arrangement," Qiao Xinxin finally conceded.

Lin Fan then took her to see the company.

The office was located in Tianhu District, opposite a three-star hotel, in an art school that had closed down. The school had three floors; the lower levels were a large shopping mall. Lin Fan had taken over the property, and with some quick renovations, it would soon be ready for use.

The company was being renovated and would be finished in a few days.

Afterward, Lin Fan took her to a nearby residential complex and bought a fully furnished duplex villa, ready for immediate move-in, worth six million.

Then he went to the dealership and bought her a BMW worth one million.

After signing all the paperwork, Qiao Xinxin hugged his arm tightly, leaned close to his ear, and whispered sweetly, "You paid my penalty, and now you’ve bought me a house and a car. I really don’t know how to thank you."

"How about offering yourself?"

Lin Fan seized the chance to wrap his arm around her slender waist, inhaling her alluring scent with a hint of boldness.

This time, Qiao Xinxin didn’t resist; in fact, she hoped he’d be even more daring.

"It wouldn’t be impossible..." she whispered, barely audible.

Unfortunately, Lin Fan didn’t catch her words, distracted by the staff nearby.

"Sir, it will take two hours to get the license plate. Please provide the address, so once we finish, we can deliver the car to your home..."

Lin Fan gave the address of the duplex villa he’d bought for Qiao Xinxin.

Both the house and car were registered in her name.

At that moment, the system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Funds spent have been returned. Please check for yourself.]
[Wealth: 7,870,000]

"Two million more, but still far from being a billionaire..." Lin Fan thought.

Ten days ago, he’d paid Qiao Xinxin ten million in penalty fees, receiving a one-million wealth return. A few days ago, he’d spent five million acquiring the art school and today another thirteen million on the house and car. His wealth had risen from 5.4 million to 7.7 million.

But that was still not enough to become a billionaire. He’d have to keep spending on women!

"So enviable—must be some rich kid, casually gifting a luxury car worth over a million. Looks like tonight will be fireworks again..."

"Such a beautiful girl, wonder which school’s campus queen she is. Sigh, the gap between people is really huge."

"Next life, I’ll make sure to pick the right family!"

The surrounding staff watched Qiao Xinxin and Lin Fan’s affectionate display with jealousy and envy.

Both of them heard the comments.

Qiao Xinxin didn’t mind at all—she wished she could have a place in Lin Fan’s heart.

But Lin Fan had no intention of claiming her yet.

To him, Qiao Xinxin was more a money tree than anything else.

He couldn’t reveal his ambitions now; what if he scared the innocent girl away?

As the saying goes, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.

On the other hand, another woman was growing impatient.
