Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

In Xiaofan Entertainment's spacious and bright conference room, Lin Bufan was in acquisition negotiations with Lee Soo-man, the founder of SM Entertainment in South Korea. With both teams seated on either side of a long table, the atmosphere was both serious and subtly tense.

Lin Bufan's team included Qu Xiaoxiao, Duan Jiabao, and Zhuge Dasheng, along with the company's financial director and legal advisor. Lee Soo-man, on the other hand, brought his core management team and legal counsel. Although Lin Bufan had only spoken with Lee Soo-man on the phone before, their gazes met, and both men saw shrewdness and sophistication in each other's eyes.

As for Song Qian, she naturally would not appear in the meeting room for the acquisition negotiations. At this moment, she was being entertained by Mi Duo and was strolling around Xiaofan Entertainment!

"Mr. Lin, I've long heard of you." Lee Soo-man said in a slightly accented Chinese, his tone neither humble nor arrogant: "I didn't expect you to be younger than the rumors said."

Lin Bufan smiled faintly: "President Li is still as charming as ever. Let's get straight to the point. What are your thoughts on the acquisition?"

Lee Soo Man said seriously, "SM Entertainment is my life's work, like my child. If your offer wasn't so irresistible, I wouldn't consider selling it."

"I understand." Lin Bufan nodded. "But President Li, there's no need to worry too much. Emperor Wu of Wei once said, 'I will take care of your wife and daughter, so don't worry.' As a fan of Emperor Wu of Wei, I will definitely treat SM Entertainment like my own children!"

Duan Jiabao and Qu Xiaoxiao, who were originally preparing for the negotiation with serious faces, were choked by their own saliva at the same time and started coughing violently.

Even Zhuge Dasheng's mouth twitched uncontrollably twice, and he silently lowered his head and pretended to organize documents.

Although Lee Soo-man spoke good Chinese, he clearly didn't understand Lin Bufan's quotations. Puzzled, he turned to the translator beside him and whispered in Korean, "What did Mr. Lin just say?"

Beads of sweat formed on the translator's forehead. He stammered, "Probably... probably just saying that he'll run the company well... and you don't need to worry... that's what he meant..."

Li Xiuman nodded thoughtfully and looked at Lin Bufan again: "Mr. Lin, the thing you mentioned on the phone before about prolonging life..."

The conference room suddenly fell silent, and everyone's attention was focused on Lin Bufan. Although Li Xiuman's team had already known about this condition, they were still shocked when they heard it again.

"Mr. Lin," Lee Soo-man's lawyer couldn't help but interrupt, "This kind of promise is difficult to define and protect legally. If it's just a verbal promise..."

Lin Bufan raised his hand to interrupt Lee Soo-man's lawyer: "I understand your concerns. So we can list this clause separately as a long-term service agreement. We'll have a free trial for the first year, and then we can continue cooperation after we're satisfied with the results. If the results are not ideal, you can terminate the agreement at any time."

Lee Soo-man's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. "Mr. Lin, with all due respect, this rejuvenation technology sounds like a fantasy. What makes you believe it's true?"

Lin Bufan was well prepared and took out a small cooler from his briefcase. "This is the first quarter's dosage. You can try it for three months. If you don't see any significant results, we can terminate the acquisition negotiations at any time."

Lee Soo Man took the cooler, opened it, and looked at the neatly arranged small bottles inside. He frowned slightly and said, "Is it that simple?"

"The charm of technology lies in simplifying the complex." Lin Bufan said confidently, "But I must remind you that this is not a magic trick that can be achieved overnight. It is a maintenance plan that requires long-term persistence. Just like fitness, it takes time and patience."

Li Xiuman pondered for a moment, then turned and whispered a few words to his team in Korean. Then, he looked at Lin Bufan: "Regarding the purchase price..."

Lin Bufan gestured to invite him in. "We can leave this to the professional team. However, I hope Chairman Li can continue to manage the company, and I will only be a behind-the-scenes investor."

This statement clearly caught Li Xiumeng off guard. He had initially assumed Lin Bufan would take over completely, but unexpectedly, he was willing to delegate power. This made him even more optimistic about this negotiation.

The subsequent negotiations went exceptionally smoothly. Both teams quickly reached an agreement on price and terms. When the meeting concluded, Lee Soo-man stood up and shook hands with Lin Bufan: "Mr. Lin, it's been a pleasure working with you. I hope we both get what we want."

Lin Bufan held Li Xiuman's hand and said with a meaningful smile: "I definitely will."

Just like that, a takeover deal that would shake up the Asian entertainment industry was finalized in just two hours. While others were still arguing over the specific terms, Lin Bufan had already quietly departed.

When Lin Bufan returned to the office, he pushed open the door and saw Mi Duo and Song Qian sitting on the sofa chatting. Both of them were wearing business suits, and their slender legs were wrapped in black stockings, which shone delicately in the sunlight.

I won’t talk about Mi Duo, after all, she just changed it a while ago, but Song Qian is different. It is very likely that she deliberately wore it after learning about Lin Bufan’s preferences on the show "Longing for Life"!

In this regard, Lin Bufan just wants to say, very good, keep going!

When Mi Duo saw Lin Bufan come in, she immediately stood up, her cheeks slightly red: "Boss Lin, you're back."

Song Qian also stood up gracefully. She had put on exquisite makeup today, and her red lips raised slightly: "Mr. Lin, we meet again." Her beautiful legs in black stockings were very slender, and she was wearing ten-centimeter high heels. She exuded the charm of a mature woman.

"Sit down, no need to be so reserved." Lin Bufan waved his hand casually and walked to the single sofa opposite the two women and sat down: "What are you talking about?"

Mi Duo answered obediently: "I am introducing the company's situation to Miss Song."

Lin Bufan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Mi Duo to adapt so quickly. "You understood so quickly?"

Mi Duo couldn't help blushing: "That... is what Assistant Duan told me..."

Lin Bufan knew that he had misunderstood. Mi Duo did not have an in-depth understanding of Xiaofan Entertainment, but was using what Duan Jiabao had just introduced to her to deal with Song Qian!

After smiling at Mi Duo, Lin Bufan turned to look at Song Qian.

"Miss Song, after taking a tour, what do you think of our Xiaofan Entertainment?"

Song Qian gently brushed the strands of hair away from her ear and gave a polite smile. "Mr. Lin's company is very dynamic, and the office environment is absolutely top-notch in China." She paused, then added sincerely, "However, as a new company, it may take some time to accumulate experience in terms of artist training systems and overseas resource integration. Of course, with Mr. Lin's strength, these are not problems."

Lin Bufan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Oh? It seems that Miss Song has a lot of insights into the operation of entertainment companies."

"I don't deserve it," Song Qian waved her hand modestly. "It's just that I've been in SM for a long time, and I've learned a few basic things through osmosis."

At this moment, Song Qian leaned forward slightly, her knees wrapped in black silk stockings accidentally touching the edge of the coffee table. "By the way, Mr. Lin, was the negotiation just now... going well?"

Lin Bufan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked with a half-smile, "Do you hope to succeed or fail?"

Song Qian's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and she opened her red lips slightly, "Of course I hope for success. In fact, I've wanted to visit Mr. Lin's company for a long time. After visiting today, I feel that the atmosphere here is particularly good. The team is young and energetic. Even an old man like me was infected by it."

Song Qian's eyes were full of sincerity, as if she was really longing for Xiaofan Entertainment. She was almost saying, "I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to be your godfather!"

Lin Bufan suddenly put down his teacup, his expression serious: "That's a shame. Xiaoman said that SM Entertainment is like his own son and he doesn't want to sell it."

Uh--

Song Qian froze instantly, the smile on her face frozen.

No, you said it all, didn't you? No one can resist the temptation of prolonging life, right?

Seeing Song Qian's expression, Lin Bufan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Just kidding, the acquisition went smoothly."

Song Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief and slapped the armrest of the sofa coquettishly: "Boss Lin, you scared me to death!"

"But what you said just now was very good..." Lin Bufan blinked: "I can tell Xiaoman about it later."

"No, no, no!" Song Qian waved her hands quickly, then realized she had overreacted and quickly adjusted her expression: "What I mean is... there's no need to specifically convey such polite words."

Lin Bufan laughed and stood up: "Let's go, to celebrate the successful acquisition, I will treat you two beauties to dinner."

Mi Duo stood up with a red face and asked in a low voice: "Am I going too?"

"Of course," Lin Bufan naturally put his arm around Mi Duo's shoulders, "You are my secretary now." After saying that, he looked at Song Qian and said, "Miss Song, come along too. It's a good opportunity to talk about your future development plans."

Song Qian stood up gracefully, her beautiful legs in black silk stockings faintly visible beneath her skirt: "Then I'd better obey your command."

After getting in the car, Lin Bufan started the car and turned to look at the two women in the back seat: "What do you want to eat? Chinese or Western food?"

Mi Duo twisted her fingers nervously: "I, I can do anything..."

Song Qian smiled gracefully and said, "It's up to Mr. Lin to decide, but..." She winked playfully, "I know there's a new Japanese restaurant nearby. All the ingredients are flown in from Hokkaido. I heard they're very good."

"Then let's have Japanese food." Lin Bufan turned the steering wheel cheerfully: "It just so happens that I haven't had sashimi for a long time."

Mi Duo secretly glanced at Song Qian, feeling both envious and a bit inferior. Song Qian exuded the charm of a mature woman in every gesture, while she looked like a little girl who had never seen the world.

As if sensing Mi Duo's mood, Song Qian took the initiative to move closer to her: "Mi Duo, do you like Japanese food? If you are not used to it, we can try something else."

"Oh, I like it!" Mi Duo nodded quickly: "It's just... I might not be very good at ordering..."

Song Qian patted Mi Duo's hand gently: "It's okay, I'll recommend it to you. You will definitely like the salmon belly and sweet shrimp, they are fresh and sweet."

Seeing Song Qian's friendly look, Mi Duo's nervousness gradually dissipated, and a smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Miss Song."

"Don't be so formal, just call me Qianqian." Song Qian blinked: "Maybe we will be colleagues in the future."

Then, Song Qian looked at Lin Bufan again: "Boss, you too, don't call me Miss Song anymore!"

While driving, Lin Bufan asked with a smile: "Then what should I call you?"

Song Qian tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled sweetly, "I'll be your employee from now on. You can call me Xiao Song or Xiao Qian."

"Xiao Song... Xiao Qian..." Lin Bufan repeated, then shook his head: "Forget it, we are about the same age, I will call you Qian Qian too."

"also!"

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Japanese restaurant that Song Qian recommended. The restaurant was elegantly decorated with soft lighting, and the waiter led them to a private room.

When ordering, Song Qian expertly recommended several signature dishes: "The bluefin tuna belly here is particularly fresh, and the sea urchin is also very sweet. Boss, you must try it."

Lin Bufan smiled and nodded: "I'll listen to you, just order."

Mi Duo looked at the menu nervously and whispered, "I, I've never eaten so much raw food..."

Song Qian immediately said considerately: "It's okay, we can order some cooked food, such as grilled eel, tempura, and chawanmushi, all of which are delicious."

Mi Duo looked at Song Qian gratefully: "Thank you, Qianqian."

During the meal, Song Qian would occasionally tell some funny stories about her time as a trainee in Korea, making Mi Duo giggle. Lin Bufan savored the food while admiring the interaction between the two beauties.

"You know what? One time, our group was preparing for a performance backstage, and we realized we had the wrong costumes—all men's!" Song Qian gestured exaggeratedly. "We had no choice but to put our clothes on backwards. Then, when we got on stage, we moved around so much that our clothes almost came undone!"

Mi Duo covered her mouth and laughed: "What should I do?"

"What else could we do?" Song Qian shrugged. "We just had to finish the dance. After we got off the stage, the whole group hugged each other and cried. We felt like we were doomed. But unexpectedly, the audience thought we were adorable, and the video of our performance even went viral!"

Lin Bufan was also amused: "It seems your group is lucky."

"Yeah," Song Qian blinked, "So I think sometimes accidents aren't necessarily bad things."

After finishing their meal, Song Qian thought she should take this opportunity to show off her abilities to the new boss, Lin Bufan, so she suggested, "It's still early, why don't we go to KTV for a while? I know a place with a great environment nearby."

Mi Duo hesitated: "I, I'm not very good at singing..."

Song Qian affectionately took Mi Duo's arm and said, "It's okay, just go and relax. Besides, the boss and I are here, so just listen to me."

Lin Bufan also nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it's rare to be so happy today, let's go play for a while."

Seeing that both of them said so, Mi Duo couldn't refuse anymore and nodded slightly.

Arriving at the KTV, Song Qian easily booked a luxurious private room. After the waiter brought a fruit plate and drinks, Song Qian picked up the microphone and jokingly said, "Let me start by singing one of our group's songs to warm up the crowd and let the boss check out my stuff and see what I can do!"

The music started, and Song Qian began to sing along with the rhythm. As a former lead singer of a girl group, her voice was clear and powerful, and her dance moves were professional and in place, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the box.

Mi Duo was very supportive: "Qianqian, you sing so beautifully, and you dance beautifully too!"

Lin Bufan's eyes lit up. If one person was so exciting, then what if it was a group? No, the negotiations must be accelerated. Then, he could... Hey! Hey! Hey!
