Chapter 88: Eight Billion "Eight Love Rivals Unite for the First Time"

In the coffee shop, by the window, Li Xiangjie sat next to Xin Jingli, holding the cup in both hands and looking at her, her eyes fixed, her mouth wide open in shock.

"Sister Xin, you're so beautiful now! Oh my God! When I saw you just now, I couldn't recognize you!"

Not only Li Xiangjie stared at Xin Jingli, but other customers in the store couldn't help but cast their eyes over.

Xin Jingli just smiled. The change in appearance was a fact. She didn't mind everyone's looks. She had to get used to it. There would be many days like this in the future.

The most important thing right now is how to make Li Xiangjie accept her changes.

"Maybe my skin has improved because I haven't been working for a while and I've been resting?" Xin Jingli shrugged.

Li Xiangjie nodded vigorously, "I knew it! I thought your facial features were very beautiful when I first saw you. Sure enough, now that you've just become a little whiter, you've instantly become incredibly beautiful!"

Xin Jingli then remembered that the system had said that everyone would naturally have reasons to accept her changes in appearance and there was no need to worry about it.

Xin Jingli sighed. She had said that without her signal, the system could not read her thoughts. As a result, she had been busy recently and had forgotten to chat with the small system.

Find some time to play with it, I miss it so much.

Xin Jingli smiled and took a sip of coffee.

"But Sister Xin," Li Xiangjie leaned in closer and asked in a low voice, "Are you really going to buy the City Center Building? That land is incredibly expensive, and it's the largest and tallest building in East City. What are you going to do with such a large space?"

"Yes, I want to buy it." Xin Jingli said lightly, and after thinking for a moment, he added, "Please help me check this matter throughout the process. As for what it will be used for... I'll tell you when I'm sure."

Xi Jiyu didn't nod, and Xu Zhanyan didn't agree to release the defense system. Only Jin Jingfang found some people from the bodyguard company. Her plan hadn't even started yet, so let's not talk about it for now.

Li Xiangjie used to work in a real estate agency, so Xin Jingli asked if she had any connections, just to give it a try.

Coincidentally, one of Li Xiangjie's college classmates was engaged in real estate sales, and he was doing very well. He had access to 80% of the well-known properties in Dongcheng.

Not wanting to reveal his identity too much, Xin Jingli entrusted Li Xiangjie to handle this matter.

She went out alone this time to see the City Center Building.

The City Building really met her requirements. It had more than 100 floors, much taller than the surrounding office buildings. The single office on the top floor overlooked the entire East City scenery.

This is still daytime. If you look at it at night, the expensive neon lights of Dongcheng shine on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the most expensive area in Dongcheng. The lights of thousands of houses are like stars in the sky, and the speeding cars are like moving toys. It is so spectacular.

She only took two glances at it before deciding to take it.

"How long will it take for me to get this building?" Xin Jingli tapped the edge of the coffee cup and asked Li Xiangjie.

Li Xiangjie was stunned again.

The last time they met, Xin Jingli gave her the impression of being a thin girl with dry hair, rough skin and no love for dressing up. This time, in addition to a big change in appearance, her way of speaking and temperament were also different.

The City Building is many times more expensive than Chenhong No. 6. When she took Xin Jingli to see it, Xin Jingli was as calm as if he was looking at a two-bedroom, one-living-room rental house. Now he has decided to buy it without even asking the price.

However, it seems that Xin Jingli didn't ask when he bought Chen Hong's villa last time.

But this time it was different. Xin Jingli's eyes were determined, as if she had a plan that was sure to succeed. The tasks assigned to her were also well organized, showing the demeanor of a leader.

Li Xiangjie was sincerely impressed by what she saw.

In such a short period of time, a person's realm can be improved so much!

Perhaps because he hadn't received an answer for too long, Xin Jingli frowned slightly, his eyes filled with confusion.

Li Xiangjie shuddered, came to her senses, and quickly said, "If it's fast, it will probably take half a month."

"Okay, then we'll solve the procedural issues within half a month, and solve the decoration issues within another half a month. Will there be any time pressure with this arrangement?" Xin Jingli asked.

Li Xiangjie: "Absolutely."

She had made a lot of connections at her previous real estate agency, so this problem could be easily solved.

As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone vibrated. Li Xiangjie picked it up and looked at it, her eyes almost popped out.

Her college classmate sent her a message saying that the newly built building in the city center was actually sold. He said that Xin Jingli was very helpful and wanted to treat her to a meal to thank her.

Li Xiangjie's mouth could fit an egg, but she felt that Xin Jingli in front of her was so unfamiliar.

Earlier, Xin Jingli instructed her to ask her college classmates to prepare the contract, because someone would go to buy a property from him today and she couldn't be negligent.

If you weren't there, you wouldn't know how accurate her predictions were! She said a bunch of young men would come and bid up the price of the property, and one of the older guys would come out and say he wanted to buy the property. He'd even buy drinks for the crowd to celebrate this auspicious occasion. It was absolutely right!

"The people who came were all the sons and daughters of the major families in East City! A huge crowd gathered to watch! It was so crowded that the sunlight on our first floor was completely blocked out! The parking lot nearby was filled with limited edition luxury cars with consecutive serial numbers!"

She even asked me to raise the price in advance, and she was absolutely right! The person who bought the property was actually Zhang Shidao! He never haggles when buying things, so the contract was signed straight away! Now we just have to wait for the various paperwork to be completed!

[Your friend is amazing! Who is she? Can't I get to know her? I really want to thank her in person!]

There was a large piece of text, all expressing the classmates' joy that overflowed the screen, and their desire to meet Xin Jingli. Li Xiangjie couldn't help but feel proud.

Her fingers danced rapidly on the screen: [No need to thank her, she is a very good friend of mine, and she has done me a favor before. Just remember this favor, and when she needs you, it will be enough for you to stand by her without hesitation.]

Xin Jingli reminded her not to reveal her identity, so Li Xiangjie replied to her college classmates in this way.

"What? Has the property over there been sold?" Seeing Li Xiangjie's mouth grinning from ear to ear, Xin Jingli guessed something, but couldn't help but make a joke.

"Yes! Sister Xin, you are amazing! Your prediction is exactly the same!" Li Xiangjie threw her phone away, quickly hugged Xin Jingli, and rubbed her shoulder with a smile.

She pretended to cry again, "I got a lot of commission this time. Oh my god, Sister Xin! You are simply my god of wealth! I am so touched! Wuuwuwu~"

"Pfft~" Xin Jingli laughed out loud when she was described as the God of Wealth for the first time. She patted the back of Li Xiangjie's hand and said, "Okay, okay, stop crying. I have something to ask you."

Li Xiangjie wiped away the nonexistent tears and sniffed, "What's wrong?"

"How's your preparation for the postgraduate entrance exam going?"

"I have been preparing for the exam at home since I resigned. Don't worry, this is my second try and I have made up my mind to pass it!" Li Xiangjie patted her chest and spoke righteously.

Seeing this, Xin Jingli couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Obviously, Li Xiangjie is much more confident than when we first met, and her body movements are more diverse. As expected, without the burden of life, people will be much happier, just like her.

"Which university do you want to apply to?" Xin Jingli asked.

"Dongcheng University."

Buzz-

Coincidentally, Xin Jingli received a WeChat message from Xu Zhanyan on his mobile phone.

[Sister, I'm on my way to Chenhong to find you. Are you home? If not, I'll wait for you at the door.]

Why did Xu Zhanyan suddenly go to Chen Hong?

Xin Jingli glanced at his watch and it seemed that it was time to go back.

She picked up her bag, hugged Li Xiangjie again, and said, "Dongcheng University is a top university in the country. It produces many talents every year and has many opportunities. Go back and study hard. I am very optimistic about you."

"Okay!" Li Xiangjie nodded vigorously.

Looking at Xin Jingli's back as he left, Li Xiangjie felt an unknown emotion surge in her heart.

She wants to be like Xin Jingli.

Xin Jingli is decisive in her actions at a young age, has sharp and accurate judgment, is smart, calm and generous. In her life, she has only met one such person.

The role model is right in front of you, and you must work hard to catch up with her.

By the time she graduates from graduate school, perhaps the City Building will have been operating normally. If possible, she would like to go in and work with Xin Jingli.

Li Xiangjie wanted to bring this up just now, but she didn't want to take advantage of Xin Jingli's kindness to selfishly get a job, so she didn't mention it.

She wanted to rely on herself, to impress Xin Jingli once more, to tell Xin Jingli that her judgment was correct. She had done the right thing by offering her a hand, and she would not let her down.

With her ambition and fighting spirit aroused, Li Xiangjie drank the coffee in one gulp, got up and went out, wishing she could go back home immediately, sit at her desk, and memorize more professional knowledge.

On this side, on the way back, Xin Jingli received another call from Xu Zhanyan.

"Huh? What's wrong?" she asked while driving.

Xu Zhanyan's voice faltered: "Sister...sister...are you back? I brought you some...biscuits...at Chenhong's door."

So fast?

Xin Jingli glanced at the navigation and replied, "Halfway, probably another half an hour."

Xu Zhanyan was obviously relieved. "That's good. Don't worry. Drive slowly and be careful."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhanyan's tense shoulders relaxed. He turned around to look at the heads around him and asked, "Are you satisfied now?"

Not long ago, Xu Zhanyan noticed that Xin Jingli was with another person, but he couldn't tell whether the other person was a man or a woman.

Everyone thought that there was a new competitor, so they wanted to let one of them test and call Xin Jingli back.

So, they created a new group: [United Against External Situations]

However, Xin Jingli was having a happy chat at the moment. Anyone who came out to disturb her would definitely be disliked by her, which would be equivalent to actively lowering his or her favorability in her heart.

Now that there are rivals everywhere, this is a dangerous job. If I’m not careful, I might be kicked out by her.

Everyone knew it, so they blamed each other in the group:

Xi Jiyu: [@Xiahe, Yahe, you're young, why don't you go and act like a spoiled child with your sister and call her back?]

Siah He: [How could my sister listen to a child? @谈井繁, brother, didn't you say you were planning a livestream and wanted to discuss charitable donations with my sister? My sister is the kindest person, she'll definitely understand.]

Tan Jingfan: [It's afternoon now. My livestreams are usually at night. She won't believe it if it's full of holes. @QinQing, why don't you tell her that the new sports car has arrived? Want to take her to see it?]

Qin Qing: [I just gave her a car two days ago. I mentioned during our chat that the new models won't be arriving until next week, so there will be even more loopholes. @Jingyun, why don't you tell me you've developed a new dish and want her to try it?]

Jingyun: [I specialize in various cuisines, not in developing new dishes. Besides, it's afternoon now, and my restaurant doesn't offer afternoon tea. This excuse is lame and untenable. @Xu Zhanyan, why don't you say the defense system is malfunctioning again and ask her to come back and check?]

Xu Zhanyan: [The defense system is an online system, so my sister doesn't need to be on-site for confirmation. Besides, my system isn't that fragile, and she's not stupid, so how could she possibly believe it? @Jin Jingfang, why don't you say your mission here is complete and you want to go find her and continue serving as her bodyguard?]

Jin Jingfang: [She specifically reminded me before leaving that I could just go back to Chen Hong after finishing. I'm calling her now to ask, so I definitely have a question, and she won't be able to answer. @Ling Yao, she cares a lot about your career. Why don't you call her to report on the album's progress?]

Ling Yao: [I never reported this to her at all. Calling her now would be too obvious. If she finds out we're suspecting her, wouldn't that be...]

The group stood at the entrance of the building, wondering who the person next to Xin Jingli was. Was it a man or a woman?

All the handsome faces were now filled with sorrow.

"What are you doing?" Qin Mo bit the cigarette, his eyes half closed due to the strong afternoon light.

"I'm making a choice now. It's none of your business. Go home quickly and don't cause trouble outside." Qin Qing glanced at Qin Mo perfunctorily. After all, he was his younger brother, so he had to say something.

Qin Mo shrugged and said before leaving, "It's no big deal. Just roll the dice and leave it to fate. That's how I wrote my multiple-choice questions in school."

Several people seemed to have a flash of inspiration and their eyes suddenly lit up.

So, everyone in the group spontaneously proposed: "Roll the dice, whoever gets the lower number goes out and calls Xin Jingli back."
