A cross-genre publicity event would yield priceless results to popularity of the comics. But, there wouldn't be much benefit to the famous artist himself. Furthermore, from the company's point of view, Eurasian Comics wouldn't stand to gain much either.
The only beneficiary of such a collaboration would be the comics and its author. The more Yu Lili thought about it, the clearer it became for her.

Eurasian Comics was one of his subsidiary companies, so he must have known of her works and her career
Ou Ming must have gotten one of his subordinates to help her with the publicity. Once her reputation as a comic artist was well-established, it would pave the way for her future works. Unfortunately, Ou Ming had met with such a disaster.
Hold on! If Ou Ming would go to such lengths for her sake, he must have been serious about her!
