Chu Nian: "It got warm when I was shooting, so it softened. I didn't pay much attention at the time and just put it in my pocket. When I got home, I saw that it had become like this."
Tan Yunqi picked up the gun and examined it, then asked suspiciously, "Did you... tinker with this yourself?" Although it was indeed far from a real gun, it was still too... frightening that a high school girl could tinker with something like this!
Chu Nian said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. It's because I'm good-looking that I get stalked by hooligans all the time!"
Tan Yunqi confiscated the curved-barreled gun. Before leaving, Tan Yunqi said, "You don't need to worry about your personal safety anymore. We've already sent people to protect you 24 hours a day." But when he reached the door, he seemed to remember something and stopped, turning to Chu Nian and saying, "Actually, I have serious doubts about whether you really need protection."
Chu Nian: "Do as you please."
Tan Yunqi's lips twitched, and he said, "Forget it, let's still send someone to protect you!" What if she really goes too far one day? Someone has to stop her, we can't let this genius end up in jail.
The next day, as soon as Chu Nian arrived at school, she noticed that Li Fangqi was looking at her strangely: as if it was odd to see her at school so early in the morning.
This is a bit strange. Could it be that Li Fangqi thinks she shouldn't have come to school this morning? Does that mean Li Fangqi knows about Liu Quan and his cousin calling the police last night? Does this mean Li Fangqi and Liu Quan are in cahoots?
Hmm, it seems I'll have to pay more attention to Li Fangqi, this reborn female lead, from now on! Chu Nian thought to herself.
Since there was still some time before morning self-study, and not all the students had arrived yet, Li Fangqi walked over and sat down in the empty seat in front of Chu Nian. Facing Chu Nian, she smiled and said, "Nian Nian, a couple of days ago my parents gave me the land compensation and demolition compensation that our village received, and they want me to help invest it. Uncle Ling and Aunt Ling also received a lot of money, right? Did they say they wanted to invest it too?"
Chu Nian said, "No." Was she showing off her status at home?
To be honest, when the Ling family members came to rely on Chu Nian, they didn't mention a single word about money to Chu Nian. Even the house they found at Aunt Wang's house next door, with food and lodging provided, was paid for by the research institute.
However, the research institute has always treated the families of its staff members well, especially those like Chu Nian, whom they consider super geniuses. They went to great lengths to win them over, and since they were willing to pay to take care of the Ling family, Chu Nian didn't feel guilty. The benefits she brought to the research institute far outweighed that.
Li Fangqi said with a hint of surprise, "They didn't tell you at all that your family got a lot of money!"
Chu Nian remained silent: As expected, he came to show off.
Li Fangqi said, "Our two families have land and yards of about the same size, and I heard from my parents that you received about the same amount of money as us, tens of thousands of yuan each!"
These days, tens of thousands is no small sum, so it's no wonder that the people from Zhegutun have become arrogant.
Li Fangqi continued, "I've already invested in the three companies I invested in before. Why don't you go back and talk to your family about it? What's the use of holding onto that money? Why not take it out and invest it so that it can make money grow?"
At this moment, Fang Hua also came over and said excitedly, "Yes, Niannian, Hao Jia and I have told our families that we are going to take out the money we received and invest it."
Although not all students in the class are from Zhegutun, most of them come from the Zhegushan area, and many of their families have received notices of redevelopment.
Chu Nian felt that the capital city must have made significant plans for the Zhegushan area, and it was possible that the entire area would be developed into a city in the future.
After listening to Fang Hua's words, Chu Nian finally advised, "Investment involves risks, so please be cautious."
Li Fangqi said, "This is an industry supported by the state, and it will definitely have great development in the future. There are certainly risks, but the benefits it brings are also very considerable. Money in your hands can't generate wealth; only by investing it can you make money continuously."
Chu Nian stopped talking; no matter how much she said, these people probably wouldn't listen anyway.
Seeing that persuasion was useless, Li Fangqi got up and left. Fang Hua followed her like a shadow, muttering in her ear, "Look at Niannian, what kind of attitude is this! We kindly reminded her to invest and make money, and she just ignores us."
Li Fangqi said, "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. Even if this money were lying on the ground, only a limited number of people could pick it up. Not everyone is lucky enough to be rich. Let's leave her alone. Once the base is built and we make a lot of money from the dividends, she'll definitely regret her decision today when she gets envious."
The money the Li family invested later was all from demolition compensation and land acquisition fees, which wasn't a big deal; they could wait a few years, since that money would just sit in the bank anyway. But Chu Nian thought Li Fangqi was a bit crazy for investing the money she had previously invested through loans and high-interest loans.
In her previous life, she lived for decades and should know that loan interest rates would be adjusted with economic development and would rise in the future; usurious loans, on the other hand, would have compound interest and be very difficult to repay.
However, a closer analysis of Li Fangqi's experiences in her previous life helps to understand her somewhat. Unlike Ling Nian, Li Fangqi didn't go to university, nor did she systematically study investment. In fact, she only left Zhegutun in middle age to experience the prosperity of big cities and their advanced technologies.
She simply lived for decades and knew that software development would flourish in the future, so she thought this industry would bring her good profits.
She didn't realize that software development takes time; developing timely software also requires time for trial and error.
During this period, her debts will definitely pile up like a mountain wall.
If others didn't borrow money and just had spare cash to make this investment, it wouldn't be a big problem; but for her... Chu Nian shook her head: she felt that even without her taking action, Li Fangqi, this reborn female protagonist, was very likely to ruin herself.
Therefore, Chu Nian decided that aside from keeping an eye on Li Fangqi, she would just observe how things develop for the time being.
In the afternoon, Chu Nian heard the gatehouse calling out again that she had a phone call. She quickly answered it and found that it was Ling's mother calling, saying that Li's parents had come to visit and had mentioned asking them to invest.
Chu Nian wondered how many of the companies that had successfully bid and secured a place in the newly developed software base would be eliminated, and how many would ultimately remain. Although the money they received was substantial, most of it was unused and considered spare cash, losing it all due to a poor investment would still be painful for anyone.
So she advised, "Mom, I think we should wait and see. If you really want to invest, then invest in that software company under the Xio National Military Command!" It was the research institute where she worked.
