Chapter 401 A Qualitative Leap
Shen Xuewei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Zhao Xiannan.
"I just opened a bottle of red wine, would you like some?"
Zhao Xiannan raised an eyebrow. "Okay."
After a pleasant night, Zhao Xiannan took a plane back to Italy the next day.
Shen Xuewei and Chen Fanglan drove to Pengcheng.
A week later, having kept his achievements hidden, he returned to Huacheng with the newly recruited auntie.
Let's not even talk about how the homeowner was devastated after Shen Xuewei poached the housekeeper who had been with them for many years.
Thanks to the care of their aunt, Shen Xuewei and Xu Yue's lives have taken a qualitative leap.
That day, Shen Xuewei went out alone to run some errands.
After having lunch at home, I went back to my room for a nap.
After dinner, Xu Yue sat in the living room, staring at her computer screen, and carefully watched an analysis of the acting in a movie.
When I got up to get a drink of water, I accidentally knocked the documents next to me to the ground.
She bent down to pick it up, but froze when she saw the words on the document/contract in her hand.
After Shen Xuewei woke up, she felt that Xu Yue's gaze was a little strange.
When Xu Yue looked over hesitantly for the nth time, Shen Xuewei finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Ah Yue, just say what you have to say. Don't keep looking at me like that. It's kind of scary."
Xu Yue recalled the contract she had seen earlier and asked tactfully:
"Weiwei, have you encountered any difficulties lately? For example, financially..."
Shen Xuewei scratched her head, somewhat puzzled.
"No, I'm perfectly fine, what difficulties could I possibly have?"
Seeing that she was still hiding it, Xu Yue simply went straight to the point.
"I just saw your mortgage agreement. Are you short of money lately? Otherwise, why would you mortgage this house?"
Shen Xuewei finally realized why she was acting strangely; she had thought she was out of money.
She glanced at the mortgage contract not far away, her expression relaxed.
"Don't overthink it. It's just a mortgage to get some money for investment. The house is still mine."
Xu Yue didn't say anything more, but just nodded silently.
Ten minutes later, Shen Xuewei frowned as she looked at the transfer text message that popped up on her phone.
Why are you transferring so much money to me?
Xu Yue put down her phone. "It's nothing. I've been sitting here with this money anyway, so I'll let you use it for now."
"You can pay me back when you have the money, or it's okay if you don't. Anyway, I have a little bit of fame now, so I won't be unable to make money."
No matter what she said, she wouldn't let Shen Xuewei turn it back to her.
Shen Xuewei had no choice but to accept it, thinking she would return it to her next month.
She mortgaged her house, claiming it was for investment, but it really was just for stock speculation.
She intends to live permanently in the villa in Shanghai, especially since she only recently bought it and it's almost finished being renovated. She's reluctant to mortgage it, so she only mortgaged this property, planning to get some money back.
With the added benefit of her past life's memories, Shen Xuewei was confident that she could make several times her initial investment in this bull market, so she tried to invest as much money as possible.
Even if she really lost money, Shen Xuewei owns shares in so many companies. Just Wudao Interactive Entertainment alone can bring her at least 100 million yuan in dividends every year, not to mention her other companies.
Failure might cause heartache for a few years, but once you recover, everything will be fine.
But once she earns back several times over, she can obtain a large amount of funds in a short period of time.
Compared to investing in ordinary projects, the return on investment is much faster.
Xu Yue transferred 6.35 million yuan to her.
Although she didn't need the money, she was still moved by Xu Yue's sincerity.
All relationships are maintained through mutual support.
Family love, romantic love, and friendship are all the same.
Shen Xuewei was very guarded, but over the years, Xu Yue had already melted her guard.
Xu Yue is her friend and also her family.
Xu Yue would appear at any important occasion she attended, never missing a single one.
Just a few words on the phone were enough to tell that she was in a bad mood.
Without the slightest hesitation, he was willing to fly from thousands of miles away to Guangzhou that very day to be with her.
He even gave her all the money he earned from filming just by seeing her mortgage contract.
That's almost everything to her.
Xu Yue once said that the luckiest thing in her life was meeting Shen Xuewei.
Shen Xuewei was equally grateful for Xu Yue's companionship.
The two of them had a very relaxing summer in Huacheng, so much so that when Xu Yue stood on the scale, she found that she had gained nearly four pounds in just one month, and she let out a scream.
"ah!"
Shen Xuewei thought something had happened to her, and in her fright, she dropped her phone on the ground and rushed to her room to find her.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Xu Yue pouted, heartbroken.
“I’m doomed, Weiwei, I’m already 97.6 pounds. Before I came out, my agent told me to lose two pounds.”
"But instead of losing weight, I've actually gained a few pounds. She's going to kill me when I get back. What am I going to do, what am I going to do..."
She's 1.72 meters tall and weighs 97.6 kg, which is considered thin. She screamed as if the sky had fallen.
Shen Xuewei is 1.62 meters tall and weighs 95 kilograms, and she didn't complain at all...
She paused for a moment, then pointed to the gym room in her home.
"Aren't there treadmills and barbells in there? If you exercise there for two hours every day, you'll lose weight, right?"
Xu Yue hesitated, "No, Sister Zou makes so many delicious things every day, I can't lose weight."
Sister Zou, who rushed over upon hearing the commotion, was bewildered.
Shen Xuewei snapped her fingers. "That's easy."
"Sister Zou, from now on you only need to cook for two people every day. As for A-Yue, you can make her a low-fat meal separately."
Shen Xuewei is the eldest child in the family, so Sister Zou naturally listens to her.
"Yes, Miss Shen."
Thinking about the meal already prepared in the kitchen...
"Miss Shen, the meal is ready. Now... should we prepare a weight-loss meal for Miss Xu as well?"
Shen Xuewei looked at Xu Yue and asked, "Are you eating this?"
Xu Yue gritted her teeth, "Eat!"
Sister Zou has been here for so many days, and the dishes she makes every day are different, delicious and fresh, making it hard for her to stop eating.
The thought of having to eat only bland, tasteless diet meals made Xu Yue feel hopeless.
Thinking it was her last meal, Xu Yue stuffed her food into her mouth, eating the amount she had in the previous two meals in one sitting.
Shen Xuewei shook her head and sighed, glancing at Sister Zou who was somewhat stunned.
Look, even Sister Zou, who has seen a lot, is stunned.
From that day on, Xu Yue began her weight loss journey.
While Shen Xuewei and Sister Zou were enjoying delicious dishes like sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork belly, and chicken stew with mushrooms, she could only eat a bowl of low-fat food.
After two weeks of this, with daily diets and exercise, Xu Yue finally lost two pounds.
However, he was still four pounds short of the weight his agent required.
Unable to bear it any longer, Xu Yue secretly slipped out to get a treat when she saw Shen Xuewei in a video conference that day.
Shen Xuewei ended the video conference and called out to Xu Yue twice, but received no response from Xu Yue.
Sister Zou wiped the dust, glanced at the door, and said:
“Miss Shen, Miss Xu is not at home. I saw her leave earlier, but she didn’t say where she went.”
When Shen Xuewei made the call, Xu Yue on the other end seemed a little embarrassed and stammered:
"Weiwei, um... I'm at a vegetarian restaurant here..."
She wanted to treat herself, but having finally lost two pounds, she didn't dare eat high-calorie foods.
I'm afraid a rebound would make all my efforts over the past two weeks go to waste.
