"However, setting up a laboratory is not easy. What kind of laboratory do you plan to build?

I happen to have many friends in this field, and I might be able to help you!"

Li Haoze was delighted, as he needed professional help.

So he introduced the laboratory's plans and goals to Cheng Jingyi in detail.

It includes various parts such as the Mechanical Research Center, Gene Research Center and Computer Research Command Center.

"No, are your goals so unrealistic?" Cheng Jingyi said as she opened the door of Li Haoze's house and pushed it open.

"A complex laboratory like this isn't cheap. Even the most basic one would cost tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!"

"And the daily expenses after opening the business are also not a small amount, at least one million per month."

"Although you have some savings, are you sure you can afford it?"

Li Haoze was stunned by her question. He had indeed never thought about this issue in depth before.

The construction and operation costs of the laboratory are undoubtedly a huge expense.

However, he is the owner of Qingyun Sect, and he still remembers the huge underground treasure space vividly.

Not to mention tens of millions or hundreds of millions, even tens or hundreds of billions are just a drop in the bucket.

The only problem he faces now is how to sell these ancient books, ancient texts, antiques and ancient jade in a reasonable and legal manner.

"Of course I can afford it, but I still need your help, Sister Jingyi!"

Li Haoze also walked into the house and closed the door. He then said:

“To be honest, I have a number of antiques and cultural relics handed down from my ancestors that are quite valuable.

But if you want to do it legally and reasonably, and not be taken advantage of by others, you need the help of a professional like you."

Cheng Jingyi's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this. She knew that Li Haoze was not a person who spoke without purpose. Since he said so, he must have real goods in hand.

Moreover, since he could even say "very valuable", the value of this batch of antiques and cultural relics must be far beyond her imagination.

"Oh? Could you tell me roughly how much the antiques in your hands are worth?" Cheng Jingyi asked curiously.

Li Haoze hesitated for a moment, then held up a finger and said with a smile, "At least this number!"

"One hundred million?" Cheng Jingyi asked tentatively.

Li Haoze shook his head.

"One billion?" Cheng Jingyi raised the number by an order of magnitude again, but she still felt a little bit unbelievable.

Li Haoze shook his head again, chuckled, and said, "Sister Jingyi, feel free to guess wildly!"

Cheng Jingyi couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this. Guess what?

Could it be that the antiques and cultural relics in Li Haoze's hands are worth more than 10 billion, or even tens of billions?

This is a bit too exaggerated!

She didn't expect that the tool she wanted to use to reproduce offspring was so complicated.

It seems that Cheng Jingyi is indeed a favored daughter of heaven, and her vision of people is so unique!

For a moment, Cheng Jingyi couldn't help but feel a little proud and happy.

"Okay! No problem!" Cheng Jingyi agreed readily, her eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.

"Don't even mention antiques and cultural relics worth tens of billions, even if they're worth hundreds of billions, I'll take care of them all!"

"But... you have to make some delicious food for me tonight and treat me well!"

"Okay! That's easy!" Li Haoze was delighted. "I'll make your favorite food tonight and reward you well."

For Cheng Jingyi, who eats at Li Haoze's house almost every day, this request is hardly a condition, but more like a little daily pleasure.

Cheng Jingyi's ready agreement made Li Haoze feel relieved.

With the assistance of this professional, he believes that the construction of the laboratory will be much smoother.

Immediately, Li Haoze tied a scarf and walked into the kitchen, intending to show off his skills.

"Let me help you!" Cheng Jingyi hurriedly followed in and asked quietly.

"Li Haoze, your distant cousin... is out of the fifth generation of mourning?"

"Ahem!" Li Haoze paused and looked at Cheng Jingyi in surprise, "Why are you asking this?"

Cheng Jingyi curled her lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why, can't I ask?

I'm just curious, is your distant cousin already out of the fifth generation?

If so, then there is no blood relationship between you and her."

Although she said this, Cheng Jingyi showed a rare hint of resentment.

She thought to herself, such a beautiful woman like her was always by his side, but he turned a blind eye to her. It turned out that he had another girl in his heart!

If we say that Cheng Jingyi first contacted Li Haoze because of "Little Lion".

But after spending so many days together, we can be said to have fallen in love.

But Li Haoze's attitude towards her was indifferent, without any intention of pursuing her, which made her, a proud girl, feel a little frustrated.

Now that I found out that Li Haoze has a "distant cousin", I naturally feel a little jealous.

Upon hearing this, Li Haoze was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He looked at Cheng Jingyi and saw her pouting in pretending to be angry, and he understood a little.

In fact, it is impossible for Li Haoze not to be moved by such a beautiful woman like Cheng Jingyi.

It's just that in ancient times, he had always been served by beautiful women like Li Lizhi, Wu Shuner, Tianxiang, and so on, so he didn't take the initiative.

However, he had also thought that if Cheng Jingyi could become his girlfriend, it would not be a bad thing.

But now, Qingluan's sudden appearance disrupted his plans.

The appearance of Qingluan means that Li Lizhi, the little princess and even Chengyang may appear in the future, which makes him feel conflicted.

After all, if they really showed up, they would already be a thousand years old.

Age is not his biggest concern. The key is that he has not yet figured out how to deal with this complicated situation.

Therefore, when Cheng Jingyi tested his feelings, he could only choose to pretend to be confused for the time being.

"Sister Jingyi, you already have so many close friends around you, so don't set your sights on Qingluan anymore." Li Haoze said with a smile.

After hearing what Li Haoze said, Cheng Jingyi remembered that she had exposed herself too early and had promised Li Haoze not to interfere with his daily life.

Looking back now, she felt like she had shot herself in the foot and felt embarrassed.

"Hmph! Don't worry, I have plenty of good girlfriends around me, I don't need a little lover like you!" Cheng Jingyi snorted in pretended anger, then turned and left.

However, when Li Haoze brought the food to the table, he saw Cheng Jingyi and Qingluan sitting on the sofa chatting and laughing, and the two looked very intimate.

Seeing Li Haoze coming out, Cheng Jingyi regained her usual liveliness. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

In the next week or two, with the assistance of Cheng Jingyi, Li Haoze auctioned antiques to raise funds while setting up his own laboratory.
