With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

"But I think that speaking out today will boost everyone's morale, and I will try my best to contact the Jiang family."

Hearing Shen Ci's words, everyone became excited, and their eyes lit up.

Ge Youcai said, "Gu's is the leading company in artificial intelligence in China. If they are willing to cooperate with us, then... then it will be much easier for us to find other companies after that!"

"I can do it, I think I can do it again!" the marshal nodded.

Others also began to eagerly try, and Shen Ci's statement seemed to inject another boost into the team, making them even more excited.

"Then everyone will pair up and split up to try to contact the various group companies. I will also keep things in order."

"Okay, no problem!"

"We still have the investment materials from Tianrui, which include the addresses and phone numbers of major AI companies in Longcheng. We'll each get a copy and walk the path that Tianrui took for the team."

Luo Tianrui gave a bitter smile upon hearing this. He still remembers the unpleasant feeling of being turned away time and time again.

Fortunately, their hardships have finally come to an end.

At this moment, Shen Ci suddenly said, "I have only one request."

Everyone looked up, and then they heard Shen Ci say, "We will not cooperate with the Li family!"

They had heard bits and pieces about Shen Ci and Li Xiao's affair, and Luo Tianrui and Ge Youcai had also been insulted by Li Wanchang and his wife for no reason.

Their entire team didn't have a good impression of the Li family.

They would certainly listen to Shen Ci.

"Fine, we won't cooperate with the Li family!"

"No problem, Shen Ci, we'll do as you say."

"I heard that they insulted Tianrui and Youcai for no reason before, and we won't be soft on them even if they come begging to us."

Finally, Luo Tianrui suddenly took out a small hard drive and handed it to Shen Ci: "Junior sister, this is the 'key' for the project program. The key is 154 bits long, divided into two parts. One part, which we have, is 77 bits long, and the other part, which I'm giving you, is also 77 bits long. Only by importing both copies of the key can the program be activated."

This is a guarantee, and also to put Shen Ci at ease. Every successful collaboration requires Shen Ci's personal participation to complete, so she doesn't have to worry about the team secretly doing something behind her back.

The 154-bit "super key" also greatly protects the project's security, making it very difficult for even hackers to crack.

Shen Ci gladly accepted: "Senior Brother Luo is so kind."

*

Having not returned home all night, Shen Ci was immediately confronted by Gu Lianxing, who grabbed him by the throat and interrogated him: "Tell me honestly, did you go out with Tang Song for 'mmm' or 'ah'?"

Upon hearing this, Pili frowned and said, "What do you mean by 'uh-huh' and 'ah-ah'? That's disgusting!"

Shen Ci rolled her eyes: "Big sister, didn't I already tell you I was with Senior Brother Luo? The project is a success!"

"what?"

Gu Lianxing let go of her hand and asked in surprise, "It's done? You mean that artificial intelligence project you invested in?"

Pili perked up: "What investment? What kind of investment?"

Shen Ci nodded: "It's done. The test was successful yesterday."

She then looked at Gu Lianxing with a sweet smile: "Lianxing, didn't you say that your aunt and uncle wanted to invite me to their home for dinner?"

"Yes, do you want to go?"

Shen Ci nodded repeatedly: "I want to go, I want to go tonight!"

"Tonight?" Gu Lianxing exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that too rushed? How about next week?"

"Let's do it tonight!" Shen Ci took Lianxing's hand and surprisingly acted coquettishly.

Gu Lianxing looked at her with an expression as if she had swallowed a dead fly: "What is this?"

The next second, she suddenly realized: "You're not going after my dad, are you?"

"Huh?" Pili couldn't help but exclaim, quickly covering her mouth: "Shen Ci, you've taken a liking to Lianxing's father?"

Shen Ci and Gu Lianxing both turned to look at Pili with speechless expressions.

She blinked innocently before remembering that Shen Ci had a boyfriend: "Sorry, please continue."

Shen Ci nodded: "Yes, I'd like to talk to Uncle about our new project."

"Don't you have any backbone?!" Gu Lianxing punched Shen Ci's shoulder, angrily saying, "My dad treated Senior Brother Luo and the others so badly back then, and you still want to cooperate with him? If it were me, I would definitely make him regret it!"

“Gu’s Group is an industry leader. How could we dare to argue with Uncle Gu about these things? Our project has just been completed and we need the affirmation of an industry authority. If we can cooperate with Gu’s Group, our future path will be much easier.” Shen Ci told Lian Xing without any concealment, revealing all his thoughts.

Gu Lianxing sighed upon hearing this: "Alright then, I'll call my mom and ask her to make arrangements tonight. Look, it's almost four o'clock already, this is really last minute."

"A simple home-cooked meal is fine, don't trouble Auntie too much." Shen Ci said, hugging Lianxing tightly. "Thank you, darling."

Gu Lianxing pretended to be impatient and pushed the person away, but then turned around and went to contact her family.

Pili then came closer and asked, "Shen Ci, what did you invest in? Did you make a lot of money?"

Shen Ci knew that Pili had always wanted him to guide her in investing and making money, so she patiently explained to her, "It's an artificial intelligence program. The project was just successfully tested yesterday, and it's not ready to make money yet. This project was done before I met you."

As she spoke, Shen Ci suddenly remembered the film project from yesterday, and she asked Pili, "There's a film project that has a lot of potential, would you like to invest?"

"Film and television projects? That would require a lot of investment, wouldn't it? I don't have that much money." Pili hesitated.

The master's ancestral home was sold, but that money came from the master, not hers.

Shen Ci smiled slightly: "These kinds of projects all have channels for small investors, which are set up for investors like you who don't have much capital. As long as the project makes money, you can earn some even if you only invest a little."

"How much should I bet?" Pili was very interested, mainly because she trusted Shen Ci.

Shen Ci thought for a moment: "For the first time, I can try betting ten or twenty yuan. I don't need a lot, just a safe bet."

Pili nodded knowingly: "Okay, I have ten or twenty yuan. Could you help me manage it later so I can learn a bit? I've also bought several books on investment and plan to study them carefully."

Seeing this, Shen Ci laughed: "That's fine, as long as you don't go to fight in amateur boxing matches, you can do whatever you want."

“Okay, my mom said the nanny is going out to buy groceries, and she told us we have guests at home tonight.” Gu Lianxing returned, waving her phone, and raised an eyebrow at Pili, saying, “Pili, come along too. I told my mom, all my roommates are going.”

"Huh? I think I'll pass. 'Ten Thousand Lights' is so far away." Pili shook his head, wanting to refuse.

Gu Lianxing said, "It's okay. We can sleep at Shen Ci's house tonight. There are plenty of rooms. We can go back to school together tomorrow."

Shen Ci also said, "Since Lianxing has already given the instructions, it wouldn't be right for you not to go. Let's go together."

Thus, Thunderbolt had no choice but to nod.
