A helpless voice came through the phone, “Did you offend someone recently?” “Probably not, why?” Lu Miao was a bit confused.
Besides Lu Siyu and the Lu family, she didn’t have any conflicts with anyone else.
Moreover, the Lu family didn’t have the capability to cause trouble that would reach Fu Jingshen.
“We’ve been dealing with hackers trying to breach our company’s systems every day, attempting to access your information. I’ve spent a fortune upgrading our security systems multiple times, and our security personnel are going crazy trying to stop them. It’s been a nightmare,” Fu Jingshen said with a hint of helplessness.
As soon as Lu Miao heard this, she immediately guessed that it must be Tang Mochen.
After the blow she dealt him last time, he was so angry that he vowed to challenge her every day.
She had forgotten about it since she returned home.
She didn’t expect him to actually follow through with his words and challenge her every day.
Nonchalantly, she replied, “Don’t worry about him. I’ve already deleted all the information that needed to be deleted from within the company. The remaining data has been encrypted, so he won’t find anything. Let him play around for a few days and enjoy himself.”
Consider it a way to rebuild confidence for this 28-month-old child.
“From the way you’re speaking, it seems like you know who this person is?” Fu Jingshen curiously asked.
“Yeah,” Lu Miao responded briefly without further explanation.
Fu Jingshen tactfully didn’t ask any more questions. “Regarding the inventions you gave me last time, I’ve applied for patents for all of them at the Patent Office. The employees in the company’s research and development department are excited and motivated. I wanted to ask if you have any new inventions recently?”
Lu Miao was speechless. She sighed, “Bro, leave a way out for others to meet in the future! Shouldn’t we give other technology companies some room to survive? If we continue like this, I won’t be hunted for information but for assassination.”
“Just assassination? Can’t Mr Gu ensure your safety? How about you come to the capital, and we can conquer the world together? I’ll protect you,” Fu
Jingshen excitedly suggested, never missing an opportunity to undermine Gu Shiyan.
“I appreciate your offer,” Lu Miao said without enthusiasm and hung up the phone.
After finishing her nighttime routine and getting ready to sleep, Gu Jinxi called to say that their grandmother was in the hospital and wouldn’t be coming home that night.
Lu Miao wasn’t surprised by this at all and simply acknowledged the information without asking any further questions.
The next day, after finishing school in the afternoon, she took a taxi directly to the pre-selected villa area.
She had made an appointment with the real estate agent to meet there today.
Although this villa area couldn’t compare to Lingyue Manor, the individual villas were spacious, had good privacy, and the facilities were well designed. So the prices weren’t much cheaper than Lingyue Manor.
Following the house number, Lu Miao arrived at the chosen villa, and the real estate agent was already waiting at the door.
After confirming that there were no issues, she decisively completed the transaction by transferring the full payment.
A “ding dong” message from the bank arrived, indicating a balance update.
Lu Miao glanced at the balance, finding it hard to believe, and rubbed her eyes, even counting with her fingers—units, tens, hundreds, thousands—several times.
32,000!
If she remembered correctly, after deducting taxes from the two meteorites in Beijing, she had earned a net profit of 370 million
It was 370 million, not 370,000!
Just a few days had passed, right?
No, she didn’t believe it!
Someone must have stolen her bank card!
Apart from investing 50 million in Gu Ziheng’s show and donating 100 million directly to charity because of the blue-and-white porcelain incident, she had forgotten to send the vase to the auction house due to her busy schedule.
Oh, right! She also invested in establishing a company, another 100 million. After that, there were various purchases of research equipment.
She had always known that she spent money extravagantly, but she didn’t expect it to be this extravagant!
Even she couldn’t help but exclaim in her mind, this was way too profligate!
Who spends money in units of billions every time!
In her past life, Lu Miao was involved in numerous profitable industries and had gained significant fame within her circle. Taking on projects worth millions or even billions seemed effortless, and her bank account never dipped below a nine-digit balance.
Consequently, she developed a habit of buying things without considering the price.
However, after transmigrating to this new world, she found herself unexpectedly impoverished, worrying about money every day.
Although she had made several investments since arriving here, the returns would take some time to materialize.
Lu Miao felt disheartened by this realization. Suddenly, she recalled the lucrative advertisements and variety show offers she had turned down. If she recalled correctly, most of them were worth eight figures.
Was it too late for her to regret those decisions?
Returning to school, she found Shen Muhan waiting for her. Since she had previously advised him to balance work and rest, attending school only half a day, he diligently followed her advice.
Seeing her arrival, he eagerly waved and greeted her. “Boss!”
Lu Miao nodded and stepped forward to help him adjust his sitting posture before taking a seat herself.
“Hehe, thank you, Boss,” Shen Muhan grinned foolishly, expressing his gratitude. Then, hesitatingly, he stole several glances at her, as if struggling to find the right words.
“What’s on your mind? Just say it,” Lu Miao encouraged him directly.
Scratching his head, Shen Muhan awkwardly began to speak. “Boss, my grandfather has been insisting on meeting you. It happens to be his birthday the day after tomorrow. Can you please come to our house and meet him?”
Taking a moment to consider, Lu Miao realized that the day after tomorrow was a Saturday, and she had no prior commitments. She agreed, saying,
“Alright.’
Upon hearing her acceptance, Shen Muhan’s face lit up with joy. “Then I’ll arrange a car to pick you up on Saturday morning.”
“Okay,” Lu Miao affirmed with a nod.
When Lu Miao returned home after school, Gu Jinxi and the others hadn’t arrived yet.
The house had been purchased, and now it was time to undertake the renovations. Transforming it to meet the standards of a vacuum environment would require an investment of several million.
Thinking about her distressing bank account balance, Lu Miao lost her appetite and could hardly bring herself to eat dinner.
After quickly consuming a few bites, she made her way upstairs. First, she powered on her computer and logged into the forum to check for any updates.
The bounty board displayed a scarcity of tasks recently.
Although there were plenty of orders for protective amulets, Lu Miao realized she had run out of talisman paper.
Yesterday afternoon, she had intended to purchase talisman paper from the City God Temple but ended up encountering Grandma Guts fainting spell, preventing her from entering the temple at all.
While the forum lacked tasks, she could livestream her fortune-telling services.
The only constraint was that she couldn’t reveal her face, which was a minor obstacle to overcome.
Promptly leaving her house, Lu Miao made a brief trip to a nearby supermarket, purchasing a mask and a phone stand. Filled with excitement, she hurried back to her room.
Unveiling her phone, she registered an account on the livestreaming platform and familiarized herself with the rules and procedures. Then, she securely positioned her phone on the stand.
After jotting down a simple “Fortune-telling” on the livestream page, she donned her mask and initiated the livestream.
Initially, the viewership was scarce, but Lu Miao remained unperturbed. She took out her homework from her backpack and began writing, patiently awaiting the growth of her audience..
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
