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

"you……"

Li Xiao looked at Lin Biqi and opened his mouth, but the words got stuck in his throat and he didn't know how to say them.

The two had known each other since childhood only because of their elders, but he had never had any romantic feelings for her and had always regarded her as a younger sister.

"Qiqi, listen to me..."

"I won't listen!" Lin Biqi shouted hysterically, "I won't allow you to like anyone else, I won't allow you to be with anyone else, I won't allow it, I won't allow it, I won't allow it!"

She seemed to have gone mad, her sharp and piercing roars attracting countless strange looks, and quite a few people recognized Li Xiao.

"Isn't that Li Xiao? What's going on?"

"Who is that girl? She's crying and screaming at the cafeteria entrance, is she out of her mind?"

"It's probably not a serious relationship, no wonder his girlfriend broke up with him."

"Are you blind? This woman is nowhere near as beautiful as Shen Ci."

As the murmurs grew louder, Li Xiao felt utterly overwhelmed. Shen Ci had refused to get back together with him, and now Qi Qi was adding to the chaos. If Shen Ci found out, she would definitely be even less likely to forgive him.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao deliberately raised his voice and said to Lin Biqi, "I don't need your permission to find a girlfriend! I just like Shen Ci!"

A single statement of loyalty caused the onlookers, who had been secretly watching the spectacle, to widen their eyes in surprise.

Lin Biqi cried even harder because of this, and retorted defiantly, "You just can't!"

Li Xiao was too lazy to deal with her, so he simply left her there and turned to leave.

Unfortunately, Shen Ci didn't get to see this amazing scene.

After leaving school, she took a taxi directly to the real estate transaction center. The salesperson had arranged a time today to transfer the ownership of that second-hand house.

Shen Ci thought the other party had entrusted the transfer of ownership to the sales department, but when she arrived at the site, she found out that the homeowner had come in person.

"Mr. Lu, this is Ms. Shen, who bought your house."

Upon meeting, the saleswoman introduced them to each other. Shen Ci noticed the name tag on her uniform and knew that she had been successfully promoted to a permanent position.

Lu Jinzhao was somewhat surprised to see Shen Ci. Looking at her beautiful appearance and youthful temperament, she was completely different from the person he had imagined who could buy his house outright.

She clearly looks like a college student.

Shen Ci caught the surprise in his eyes, and with a calm smile, extended her hand: "Hello, Mr. Lu."

"Hello." Lu Jinzhao extended his hand, gentlemanly grasping only Shen Ci's fingertips, and then couldn't help but sigh, "I really didn't expect Miss Shen to be so young."

Even so, he was still somewhat disappointed.

His original purpose in coming to handle the transfer of ownership was to get to know the person who spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy his house. He thought that the person's status must be extraordinary, because he learned from the salesperson that this person had spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy two houses in one go, and it was all in cash.

Someone with such a large cash flow must be a remarkable person.

I didn't expect her to be a young girl around twenty years old. She must be from a wealthy family, which has nothing to do with her.

The sales team handles all the procedures; both the buyer and seller only need to provide identification and a signature.

While waiting, Shen Ci casually asked Lu Jinzhao, "I heard that Mr. Lu reserved this house a year before the opening. Why are you selling it after less than half a year?"

Lu Jinzhao smiled upon hearing this and explained, "Plans can't keep up with changes. I had my eye on this villa area a long time ago, but the company has its eye on a project in the second half of the year. This project has great potential, so the company decided to invest heavily in it. That's why I had to reluctantly sell this house."

Shen Ci nodded. She remembered the salesperson mentioning that the original homeowner's company needed money and that's why they were planning to sell the house.

Lu Jinzhao stared at Shen Ci for a while, then suddenly asked, "Miss Shen, do you usually read novels?"

This seemingly random sentence startled Shen Ci for a moment, then she nodded and said, "I see. I use it to pass the time when I'm bored."

Lu Jinzhao's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Miss Shen, have you read 'Destined to Be a Phoenix'? That book is very popular among you young people!"

Is she destined to be a phoenix?

That female-centric web novel?

“I know this book.” Shen Ci nodded, then a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she blurted out, “Mr. Lu’s company is planning to produce a film or television adaptation of this novel?”

Lu Jinzhao nodded: "Yes, this book has a huge online following and a very large readership. It is our company's key IP for the second half of the year. We estimate that we will invest nearly 20,000 yuan to create an epic female-centric drama!"

It turned out the other party was the owner of a film and television company.

Twenty thousand yuan is equivalent to two hundred million yuan before, this investment amount can definitely be called a super-large production.

Moreover, Shen Ci remembered that the TV series "The Phoenix" was very successful after it was adapted into a film and television series. It broke many records as soon as it was broadcast. The leading actress in the series became the top actress of the same period, and all the new supporting actors also made their mark in the entertainment industry and gained a lot of national recognition.

Her mind raced, and she smiled at Lu Jinzhao: "Mr. Lu, do you still need to invest?"

Lu Jinzhao was visibly taken aback: "Miss Shen, you...you want to invest in our drama?"

As he spoke, his tone became noticeably excited.

"Let's exchange contact information. I'll take a closer look at this novel later, and if I think it has potential, I'll consider it."

Shen Ci didn't make any promises, because she wanted to learn more about the characters in the novel first, see which one her sister was suitable for, and ensure she could get the role before deciding to invest.

Lu Jinzhao nodded repeatedly and took out his phone: "Ms. Shen, I'll scan your QR code."

The company poured almost everything into this project, spending a year just competing with other companies for the copyright.

If successful, the company will soar to new heights, but the lack of funds has always been the biggest obstacle to this project.

The company has been working on attracting investment, and now that the project is about to start, it is still far from the target of 20,000 yuan. So when Shen Ci took the initiative to express his willingness to invest, Lu Jinzhao's excitement was heartfelt.

"I wonder what your family does, Miss Shen?" Lu Jinzhao asked casually after scanning Shen Ci's WeChat.

Shen Ci replied casually, "As an individual investor, I have a good eye, so I've made some money."

Upon hearing that Shen Ci was a professional investor, Lu Jinzhao was visibly startled.

In all his years in the business world, he has met hundreds or even thousands of investors and businessmen, including many promising young investment geniuses. But this is the first time he has met someone as young as Shen Ci.

"Ms. Shen, we are hosting a cocktail party for the project's investors this Friday evening. Although you haven't decided to invest yet, I would like to invite you to attend. Is that alright?"
