Steven vaguely understood what Jessica was implying, but he didn't show it. "Oh?"
Jessica continued, "I want to invest all this money into my work. If the marketing goes well, then everyone in the country will know how much you've spent and how much effort you've put into promoting my project. This way, you'll look even more impressive."
Annalise would also know how much Steven was willing to care for his people.
Steven immediately raised the offer. "50 million dollars. How about that?"
Jessica's heart raced. She never expected Steven to be willing to offer her an additional 40 million dollars with a little persuasion.
However, Jessica didn't immediately accept the offer. A crazy thought flashed through her mind, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She could feel cold sweat forming on her forehead.
Jessica was afraid that if she asked for the amount she had in mind, Steven would think she was too greedy and decide not to give her any money. But she couldn't help herself; what if he agreed?
With that in mind, she casually said, "How about 100 million dollars?"
Fearing Steven might reject her, she quickly added resolutely, "You can transfer this amount to me as the entire promotional fund for my comic. And I promise, I won't ask you for extra money later.
"More importantly, I'll take full responsibility for my work—its promotion, and the production of any merchandise. You won't need to worry about any of that. Once the comic gains popularity and the merchandise starts selling, I'll share some of the profits with you."
Steven smiled and responded, "Okay."
Since the money hadn't yet been transferred to her account, Jessica was careful about her tone when speaking to him.
