Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 226: Ill Start Working for You Right After This Lunc

“…”

i Yue was stunned to hear i Fang’s earnest job offer, realizing that he actually wanted her to work for him. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“So, in the end, you guys were just fooling with empty promises? Seriously.”

“We’re not fooling you, Sister Yue Yue! We’re genuinely inviting you to help us start a company…”

Seeing Xia Yuan’s sincere expression, i Yue thought they had no reason to lie to her. “Let think… You said you want to start a company and want to be the financial manager… Oh, are you planning to start an entertainnt company? But the entertainnt industry is very complicated, and I don’t know much about it. Even if you ask , I can’t help.”

“It’s not about singing; it’s about sothing else. Sister Yue Yue, you often browse C Site, right? I saw you have the C Site app on your phone.”

“Yes, I do. Why?”

“Do you know who the webmaster of C Site is?”

“I’m not sure… I just know people call her ‘Ojou-sama’ or sothing”

i Yue, curious, rested her chin on her hand and looked at the trio. “That’s a website with tens of thousands of mbers, only second to A Site (AcFun) in the country. You can’t seriously tell that you guys created C Site, right?”

“…”

i Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin Youxi all pursed their lips, not wanting to answer imdiately, which made i Yue a bit anxious.

“Hey, this joke is going too far…”

i Yue quickly pulled out her phone and looked up information about the webmaster of C Site.

“Ojou-sama’s userna…【Mountain Has Lush Forest】 (Shan You Lin Xi)… Shan You Lin Xi… You Lin Xi… Lin You Xi?!”

i Yue’s gaze fell on Lin Youxi. “Are you the ‘Ojou-sama’ of C Site?”

“It’s not exactly like that… I just used that account to post so updates, especially in the early days.”

Lin Youxi, leaning on i Fang’s shoulder and holding his arm, introduced her partner to i Yue in a sweet and dependent manner. “It was mostly Ah Fang who interacted with people on the forum and handled a lot of the initial work when the site was created.”

“C Site was established in 2009 or 2010, right? How old were you guys then…? You were so impressive, and yet your family had no idea.”

“We were just doing it for fun back then; we didn’t expect it to beco a success.”

Finding out that her little cousin and his childhood sweethearts were behind the well-known internet platform felt like sothing out of a fictional novel. If she’d known her cousin was so capable, why would she be working outside?

i Yue was a bit lost.

“But from what I know, making money with a video site like that is tough. Your families didn’t help you, right? So how did you manage to fund and maintain the site?”

“Well…”

Xia Yuan explained, “It was mainly Ah Fang making gas to support the site, and I also lent him a bit of money initially.”

“What? Besides running the site, you also made gas?”

So, i Fang briefly introduced the gas they had developed to i Yue. Although she didn’t play gas often and hadn’t heard of so of the later ones, she had definitely played Flappy Bird.

“Wow, I can’t believe that you guys are the ones behind that super popular ga Flappy Bird that went viral a while back! What the heck? Not only do you run a website, but you also make gas and sing? How many more secrets are you three hiding from ? I’m about to lose my mind… Unbelievable!”

i Yue kept patting her chest to calm herself down. Xia Yuan quickly handed her a glass of water to help her relax.

After calming down a bit, i Yue asked more about their current ventures. She learned that they had handled many things in an orderly manner, including registering copyrights for songs and domain nas in advance, obtaining ga licenses, and keeping simple financial records.

“Sigh… If it weren’t for the fact that you can’t start a company before you’re 18, you three wouldn’t have even thought of asking , your big sister, for help, right?”

“It’s not like that, Sister Yue Yue. We still need soone excellent like you to help manage the finances. Handling bills, expenditures, and tax optimization is still quite complex for us.”

“So, in na, you’re asking for my help, but it’s not just about being the financial manager, is it? Now if I join, I’d be the only adult on the team. Do you want to be the legal representative and prepare all the company docunts? And also help recruit employees and do the boss’ job?”

“Mainly the financial part. We can handle the rest among the three of us. The most troubleso part now is C Site.”

“Although C Site is a large site, it’s not that complicated to manage. The current workflow can still support its size. But to further develop and even surpass A Site, we need to actively seek funding.”

While C Site was thriving, A Site still held its top position in the ACGN community due to its less strict registration system and wider user base.

A significant factor in A Site’s success was the capital investnt. As early as 2010, the well-known card ga company Biangfeng Network, which was also riding high on the success of the online ga San Guo Sha Online(Legend of the Three Kingdoms Online), acquired A Site from its founder, Xilin. The key figure behind this was Chen Shaojie, who later used A Site’s traffic to create the leading streaming platform, DouYu.[1]

Bianfeng was a subsidiary of the gaming giant Shanda Interactive Entertainnt, backed by substantial capital. Compared to A Site, C Site was still a niche player.

To survive in the fiercely competitive capital market, C Site needed a more professional team and stronger financial backing. Funding had beco an urgent necessity, and establishing a corporate entity was crucial for that.

In fact, so major investors had already begun to show interest in C Site. However, without a corporate entity and corresponding legal and financial support, securing funding remained an unattainable goal. Investors might even think that acquiring C Site would be a more attractive option for i Fang and his team.

The highest offer i Fang had received so far was 8 million yuan (est. $1.1m). This is double the initial selling price of A Site back in 2010, when its founder sold it for only 4 million (est. $558k) due to unsustainable high bandwidth costs.

Upon hearing these astronomical numbers, which shouldn’t be coming from the mouths of these kids, i Yue couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

“If it were other kids, their achievents would have been widely known by now. But you all have been so low-key…”

“If it had been exposed too early and our families had found out, our parents would definitely have been nothing but opposed to it since the business hadn’t taken off yet,” i Fang said with a smile. “It’s more interesting to reveal it after we’ve succeeded. Besides, school wouldn’t be fun if we exposed it too soon…”

“W-what?! Are you saying that C Site can be sold for 8 million right now?” Xia Yuan was equally shocked after hearing this from i Fang. “I only found out today. Have you and Youxi been hiding this from ?”

“No, I didn’t tell anyone,” i Fang shook his head. “You never asked, so why would I be hiding it from you? And now that you know the price, are you thinking of selling C Site for the money?”

“Not really… I wouldn’t support selling it anyway. I just think…”

Xia Yuan glanced at Lin Youxi, who seed unusually calm. “Youxi, you seem to have known about this for a while. Didn’t Ah Fang tell you? You look pretty composed for soone who just found out this number.”

Lin Youxi wiped her mouth with a napkin and explained, “I’m more interested in researching website technology than in how much money we can make or sell it for. Ah Fang has always been handling the finances, and he’s done a good job…”

She then patted i Fang’s shoulder and smiled at the other two, “From the beginning, Ah Fang told to just focus on my work without worry, so I only need to trust Ah Fang.”

“…”

Wow… this imposing aura, just like she’s the official girlfriend!

Seeing Lin Youxi’s flirtatious behavior, i Yue couldn’t help but feel a little worried for Xia Yuan, who was chuckling beside her.

Sigh… I really can’t figure it out…

How did Yuan Yuan, with her limited skills, manage to make Xiaofangzi her boyfriend?

I saw them kissing on New Year’s Day, so they weren’t just sneaking around, were they?

“I roughly understand the situation now. I’m definitely willing to help, but I’m not sure if I’m capable of handling all the work. I don’t want your business to fail because of . So, I’ll prepare the preliminary work for starting the company, but there’s still a lot to do. Just thinking about it gives a headache.”

i Yue scratched her head and then looked at i Fang, “Xiaofangzi, you said you’d pay a monthly salary of 20,000 (est. $2.7k). You weren’t kidding, right?”

“Nope, 20,000 it is,” i Fang confird, despite Xia Yuan’s pained expression.

“Okay, I’ll start working for you right after this lunch!”

Clearly, i Yue was very enthusiastic about starting the company. She intended to treat the company as her own ho.
