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

Uh.

Luo Tianrui blinked, puzzled, and then exchanged glances with Ge Youcai, both seemingly not understanding what Shen Ci meant by "wanting to talk to you."

What could they possibly have to talk about?

Shen Ci smiled as she looked at the documents in his hand and said softly, "I'm very interested in the program you've developed."

"what?"

Luo Tianrui was startled and asked with a surprised expression, "You're interested in this?"

He waved the document in his hand as he spoke.

Shen Ci nodded slightly: "Although I don't understand, I would like to learn more about it."

"no……"

Luo Tianrui was completely dumbfounded. He had no idea what Shen Ci's motives were. She didn't understand, but she said she was interested and wanted to find out. What would happen after she found out?

"Our program is still a work in progress, so..."

“I know.” Shen Ci smiled. “To complete this process, you will need funds, which is why you came to the Gu family today to ask for investment.”

Luo Tianrui nodded dejectedly.

Shen Ci thought for a moment, took out her phone from her handbag and opened her personal QR code: "You may have some doubts about me right now, but I think we can find a suitable time and place to sit down and talk slowly. How about we add each other on WeChat?"

The girl took the initiative to add him on WeChat, and she was such a beautiful girl as Shen Ci. Although Luo Tianrui was still a little dazed, his actions did not falter at all. He took out his phone, quickly added Shen Ci as a friend, and said, "My name is Luo Tianrui."

Seeing this, Ge Youcai grinned and said, "I want to join too!"

“Of course.” Shen Ci handed over the QR code.

Just then, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz slowly pulled up to the side of the road. The driver got out and opened the door for the people in the back seat. Li Wanchang, chairman of the Li Group, and his wife got out of the car one after the other.

Mrs. Li took her husband's arm and glanced up to see two men and a woman scanning a QR code to add each other on WeChat. The woman was dressed in an evening gown and had a refined appearance and demeanor, while the two men were dressed as waiters.

She didn't pay much attention at first glance, but after glancing at it casually, she suddenly froze, and then looked back uncertainly.

Under the streetlights, why does that girl in the black dress, who looks so beautiful and radiant, look so familiar?

It's Shen Ci!

The moment Mrs. Li recognized Shen Ci, she unconsciously tightened her grip.

"what happened?"

Noticing his wife's unusual behavior, Li Wanchang turned his head and asked in a low voice with concern.

Mrs. Li's face was ashen. The thought of her son's drastic change in temperament these past few days, his constant sullenness and isolation in his room, filled her with a tightness in her chest. Her eyes, sharp as poison, stared at Shen Ci.

"Wan Chang, that girl is Shen Ci!" Mrs. Li said through gritted teeth, letting out a disdainful snort. "Exchanging WeChat contacts with two boys on the roadside late at night, how shameless! How could Xiao Zai fall for such a slut?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wanchang looked over. He only knew of Shen Ci, but had never met her before. At first glance, Li Wanchang, being a man himself, seemed to instantly understand why his son liked Shen Ci.

She is very pretty.

But Li Wanchang was a very calm person. He objectively acknowledged Shen Ci's beauty, but as Li Xiao's father, he would never allow his son to be with such a pretty but unattractive girl.

So he didn't hesitate and walked directly towards Shen Ci.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Li unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth in a cold smile.

Shen Ci had just arranged to meet Luo Tianrui at a coffee shop outside the east gate of USTC the next afternoon. Before they could even say goodbye, she felt an extremely oppressive atmosphere approaching her.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, only to meet Li Xiao's mother's fierce gaze.

The middle-aged man beside her, enveloped in a chilling aura, was Li Xiao's father.

Standing close by, Li Wanchang stared intently into Shen Ci's eyes. His gaze was so intense that it was almost unbearable for most people to bear being stared at like that.

But Shen Ci was no stranger to this. She remembered that look, she remembered Li Wanchang, and she remembered how she had once cried out to heaven like an ant in front of him.

But at this moment, her heart was as still as water, and she simply looked at him calmly.

“You are Shen Ci,” Li Wanchang said first.

Shen Ci smiled and nodded in acknowledgment: "It's me, Uncle Li, hello."

“Since you know who I am, I’ll be frank,” Li Wanchang said solemnly. “I hope you can stay away from Li Xiao and stop getting entangled with him.”

“Uncle Li, I’m too lazy to explain my relationship with Li Xiao anymore. Auntie knows very well. If you don’t understand, you can ask her.”

“I know you two broke up,” Li Wanchang said without changing his expression. “But as long as you’re still at USTC, you will definitely have an impact on Li Xiao.”

"Then how about I leave Earth?" Shen Ci couldn't help but chuckle, then asked in return, "My aunt found me and asked me to break up with Li Xiao. I agreed and I did it. Even after Li Xiao kept pestering me, I remained unmoved. Aren't you satisfied yet?"

"Are you forcing me to leave USTC or Longcheng?"

Luo Tianrui and Ge Youcai stared in astonishment at the scene before them. They immediately recognized the man in the suit in front of them as Li Wanchang, the chairman of the Li Group.

The two locked eyes and began to communicate without saying a word.

Luo Tianrui is Li Wanchang. The Li family only ventured into artificial intelligence two years ago, so they might have a chance.

Ge Youcai's eyes widened. "Now?"

Luo Tianrui winked. "What a great opportunity! Otherwise, how would we ever have a chance to see him? If we miss this chance, we'll really miss it!"

Ge Youcai, with a sour face, said, "At this time? Isn't this inappropriate?"

The tension between Shen Ci and Li Wanchang is palpable!

"I can compensate you, one hundred yuan?" Li Wanchang said, looking at Shen Ci.

Shen Ci smiled but remained silent.

Li Wanchang frowned, and his expression finally showed some reaction.

"Two hundred yuan!"

Seeing that Shen Ci still wouldn't budge, Mrs. Li finally snapped, "Don't push your luck! Do you really think you're worth that much money? If it weren't for..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Wanchang stopped her with a look.

Compared to Mrs. Li, one commendable thing about Li Wanchang is that he knows that arguing and humiliating the other person will not solve the problem.

But that's the only thing worth acknowledging.

He looked at Shen Ci again and said, "Or you can name your terms."

"Sure enough, you can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people; even their methods are exactly the same." Shen Ci smiled, thinking of the "ten-dollar check" at the coffee shop: "They're both equally disgusting!"

Li Wanchang's eyes darkened as Shen Ci looked at him and continued, "Instead of wasting your breath trying to bribe me to leave Longcheng, I have a suggestion for you two: why don't you send Li Xiao abroad? He won't be able to see me, and I'll be free from the hassle of seeing him. It's a win-win situation!"
