"Okay!" The young man's face flushed with excitement.

Lin Feng continued, "Also, my kids want to learn how to draw. Do you think you could spare some time to teach them?

"An hour would be enough; we don't need much of your time.

"They really enjoy drawing. Right now it might just be a hobby, but what if it becomes their dream one day?

"As parents, we always want to give our children the best and try to fulfill their wishes, so long as the requests are reasonable!"

Since he'd put it that way, what could the young man say? "No problem! Just bring the children over for their classes!"

The receptionist was in charge of finance and human resources. Lin Feng asked for the company's bank account and directly transferred 500,000 over.

Both the receptionist and the young man were stunned. What a big shot! Who just transfers money that easily?

She hurried to her desk. "I... I'll go issue the invoice right now!"

The young man was so moved he didn't know how to express himself. "Thank you. I really can't thank you enough!"

For days, they had been running themselves ragged trying to secure that 500,000, and they had truly reached their wits' end.

Lin Feng just smiled. In truth, 500,000 was just a drop in the ocean to him.

He excitedly shared the good news with the others, and a chorus of cheers erupted from outside.

The young man, whose name was Tony, spoke to Lin Feng with a seriousness that made his words sound like an oath. "We will definitely not let you down!"

The members of their team were all top-notch talents he had painstakingly assembled.

Lin Feng nodded solemnly. "I believe in your abilities!"

After the excitement died down, Tony took the children on a tour, leaving just the receptionist and Lin Feng in the office.

"Boss, here's your receipt and the contract. Please take a look." The receptionist kindly reminded Lin Feng, "You can have a lawyer check it out. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, we can make changes."

Lin Feng felt it looked fine and signed his name.

"Boss, your handwriting is really beautiful," the receptionist said, without a hint of exaggeration.

Just then, a young man who claimed to be from the "Planning Department" came to see Lin Feng. Although it was called the Planning Department, in reality, anyone could take on that role.

The man cleared his throat, seeming hesitant to speak. The receptionist tactfully excused herself.

Lin Feng smiled faintly. "Go ahead, say what you need to say."

"Boss, are you very rich?" the man asked tentatively.

Lin Feng replied at his leisure, "I'm reasonably well-off. Get to the point."

"The point is, this is the app promotion plan we wrote before. It was shelved due to a lack of funding in the later stages." His tone shifted. "But we're in a completely different position now. With a big shot like you on board, I'm sure all our problems can be easily solved."

It must be about the money.

Lin Feng held out his hand. "Let me see it."

To put it bluntly, a promotion plan was just advertising—paying for promotions on app websites. They could also hire influencers with large followings to create sponsored content. With the right promotion, the number of downloads would naturally increase, and in turn, so would the number of active users.

In this day and age, unless you have undeniable talent, the only way to get known is through widespread advertising. Of course, even some with incredible skill who never get a lucky break remain unnoticed, eventually fading into obscurity. It's also possible that they might suddenly blow up when the time is right.

Lin Feng asked, "How much do you need for promotion?"

Before the man could answer, Tony came over. "Let's put a pin in that for now. Once the app is finished, we'll look at the first week's data before we discuss it further."

The other man seemed to want to say more, but he held his tongue, and Lin Feng didn't press the issue.

Meanwhile, the children had already started drawing on their own, still very interested in everything.

The app was scheduled to go live at the end of January. In the meantime, they needed to select the right content to fill their video and comics library. Their own works would be exclusive. For other popular comics, they could buy exclusive rights. That way, people wouldn't be able to read them on any other app!

But this required money, and someone needed to handle the negotiations. They also reclaimed the rights to their works that had previously sold very well on other major apps, planning to host them exclusively on their own platform. As for anime, they would also need money to license series or simply act as a distribution channel...

As he was leaving, Lin Feng asked, "My home is quite far from here, about a forty-minute drive. Should I call the front desk before I come over?"

The receptionist made an "okay" gesture. "No problem!"

After Lin Feng and his group had left, the other man confronted Tony. "Tony, why didn't you let me speak? Five hundred thousand is only enough for app development! We don't have enough for what comes after!"

Tony sighed. "We finish the app first, let him see our work, and *then* he'll invest more.

"He just invested five hundred thousand, and not even ten minutes later, you were about to say it's not enough and ask for another hundred thousand? What do you think he would have thought?

"His money doesn't grow on trees. Do you think he'll invest however much you ask for? Who do you take him for?

"Didn't you see he has quadruplets? Four kids to raise—that costs money!

"We were lucky to get five hundred thousand. Let's not think about anything else and just focus on finishing the app.

"As for promotion, we'll talk about it after we see the results!

"Without results, why would he give us more money? Then..."

Suddenly, the receptionist let out a scream. "AHHHHHH!"

Her shriek startled everyone.

Tony frowned. "What is it? Did you see a ghost?"

The receptionist ran over with her phone. "No! It's the boss! He transferred another million and said to just spend it as we see fit!"

Everyone was speechless.

Damn, now *that's* an investor!

In a city like Yangcheng, one million wasn't a huge investment. But they were just an obscure comic group that hadn't even gotten off the ground yet. They might have a small name for themselves in the comics world, but in the real world, an investment of one million was something they could only dream of.

"Yes! With this million, promotion and all that won't be a problem!"

"We can also buy a few exclusive licenses!"

"I can't take it, I have to go finish the last few pages of my comic, hahaha!"

The SP Comic APP platform didn't have money to license other works. Coupled with the fact that it was a brand-new platform, many creators were unwilling to put their series on it. Therefore, most of the works available at launch were created by their own artists, who had been pulling all-nighters to get them done. This was to ensure there would be a large library of content for people to read the moment the app went live.

A smile finally spread across Tony's face. "Alright, money isn't an issue anymore. Let's get to work!"

"Yeah!"

With financial backing, everyone was more motivated than ever.

On the way home, the children were all happy, chattering nonstop.

Zhang Yuxi frowned. "Honey, isn't the drive a bit too far? Forty minutes is a long time."

Lin Feng smiled. "I was thinking, once the app goes online and starts doing well, I'll rent an office space for them.

"Right in our neighborhood, so it'll be convenient for the kids to go to their drawing classes too."

Zhang Yuxi nodded. She unconditionally trusted and supported all of Lin Feng's decisions.
