"Don't worry, I... I agree to become a shareholder!"
Sheng Zhicheng was truly at his wit's end. He knew this was very likely a trap, but he couldn't disobey his father's orders, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to it.
With her back to Sheng Zhicheng, Diao Yu smiled smugly, like a little mouse that had stolen three pounds of sesame oil.
He turned around, his expression immediately returning to normal, and nodded with satisfaction. "Don't worry, Brother Sheng, consider this investment a testament to our friendship. I will absolutely not let you suffer any losses!"
Sheng Zhicheng maintained a smile on his face, but sighed inwardly, "How much do you want me to invest?"
“Well…” Diao Yu hesitated slightly.
He was a thousand-year-old demon who had only recently awakened, and he knew very little about modern knowledge. The words he had just used to deceive Sheng Zhicheng were all learned from a TV series that Nightingale Sharpbeak had been watching recently. He didn't really know anything about the value of modern currency.
If I ask for too little, wouldn't I be wasting my time? But if I ask for too much, what if Sheng Zhicheng changes his mind and refuses to do it?
Thinking this through, he quickly had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.
"Cough cough, not much, not much, this number." Diao Yu held up five fingers.
Sheng Zhicheng: "Five hundred thousand?"
Diao Yu smiled but remained silent.
Sheng Zhicheng: "Five hundred thousand doesn't seem to be enough to do much... So, five million?"
Diao Yu remained silent.
Sheng Zhicheng's eyes widened. "Could it be fifty million? What kind of project is that expensive?"
Seeing his expression, Diao Yu understood his level of acceptance and laughed heartily, saying, "Haha, I was just joking! Five million is enough!"
"Oh—that's alright, that's alright..."
Sheng Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yu Lin hadn't really made an exorbitant demand, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do. Then he was both amused and exasperated: although five million wasn't a huge sum for him, it was money he had painstakingly saved up to get married, and now so much of it was gone... it really hurt!
Having achieved her goal, Diao Yu found Sheng Zhicheng much more agreeable and was no longer in a hurry to send him away.
Hmm, this is a living money bag, and it's easy to fool him. Maybe I can "borrow" some more from him after I stop pretending to be Yu Lin.
Sheng Zhicheng didn't forget his purpose either, and took the opportunity to get closer to him: "Yu Lin, now that your background has been revealed, do you plan to return to the Qin family to take over the Xuanqin Group, or continue to develop your career in the entertainment industry?"
Diao Yu thought for a moment, recalling the attitude of Zhen Yulin towards Nan Xian that she had seen when she was lurking in the shadows, and her eyes dimmed slightly. "When I find the right time, I will announce my retirement from the entertainment industry."
In this life, the adult loves acting and seems to really enjoy the entertainment industry. I can't make her give up her dream, but I can eliminate all the dirty things around her that covet her!
Hmph, even if Yu Lin doesn't want to leave the industry, I have plenty of ways to force him to!
Sheng Zhicheng: "Oh... forgive my bluntness, but you are the only young member of the Qin family right now. You will definitely be included in the Qin family genealogy. After that... will your mother's grave be moved back to the country?"
Diao Yu sensed the strangeness of his question almost immediately.
Why is Sheng Zhicheng, an outsider, so concerned about "his" family's private affairs and asking such strange questions?
He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, scrutinizing him with a deep, unfathomable gaze that sent chills down Sheng Zhicheng's spine. He unconsciously looked away, unable to meet his eyes.
