Sheng Quan sat in the silver luxury car, instructing the driver to park the car on the street. He leaned forward slightly to hand over the money, and called out to the boss lady who was busy at the roadside snack stand: "Auntie, give me a pancake with an egg."
The proprietress was about fifty years old, with some white hair. She was working hard. When she heard Sheng Quan's words, she nodded and agreed, and freed her hands to take the money handed to her. But when she raised her eyes and saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Not only her, but even the customers who had gathered in front of the snack stand looked over quietly with a look that was a mixture of confusion, shock, and a little excitement.
Sheng Quan, leaning back in the comfortable seat, was not affected at all. After all, if she had seen someone driving a multi-million dollar luxury car to buy a four-dollar pancake in her previous life, she would probably have had the same reaction.
For example, the girl over there who kept looking up at her while pretending to be looking at her phone, it was obvious from this angle that she was taking a sneak shot of this extremely handsome luxury car.
Sheng Quan bet that she would send the photos to her friends after taking them, and share excitedly the rare thing of "I saw a rich man driving a luxury car to buy pancakes."
She pretended not to see it. If she hadn't been the person involved, she would have thought it was strange.
But there was nothing she could do, because this damn system only gave her this luxury car that looked luxurious at first glance, and a penthouse suite in the hotel that she could stay in for half a year, under the euphemism of calling it a novice benefit.
The benefits are real benefits. The presidential suite is really cool, the luxury car is very comfortable, and the appearance is amazing. People turn their heads to look at her wherever she goes. The wardrobe is sufficient, but she didn't spend a penny.
Sheng Quan searched all his pockets but could only find two hundred yuan in cash.
What can she do with two hundred yuan? She has to be careful when ordering Shaxian snacks.
Fortunately, the treatment in the penthouse suite was really good. It was equipped with all the basic needs. Even the driver who was driving her now was a normal service of the penthouse suite, and she didn't have to pay him a penny.
But normally she could eat the hotel's meals when she was in the hotel, but it was not convenient to pack up the hotel's food to eat when she went out, so she could only order some pancakes.
Even for the pancakes, she only added eggs without sausage. After all, after spending for more than ten days, she only had 98 yuan and 50 cents left in her pocket.
Ninety-eight yuan and fifty cents. She was not so poor before she traveled through time!
Perhaps sensing Sheng Quan's resentment, the system appeared at the right time: [After the host successfully supports, there will be a cashback. ]
Sheng Quan looked at the couple who were busy with their business but couldn't help but secretly look at the cool luxury car: [I have already thought of who the first person to be funded will be. ]
She was in a car accident in her previous life, and after traveling through time, she was bound to this system, which calls itself a funding system. It is composed of people's wishes and is dedicated to funding outstanding talents with excellent character but tragic fate.
What is the funding? Of course, it is money.
What the host Sheng Quan has to do is to find outstanding talents with excellent character, sponsor them, and spend money on them. The other party's favorability towards her and the level of his career achievements determine the amount the system returns to Sheng Quan.
And, the number of days to extend life.
For example, if she finds a suitable sponsor now and gives him one million yuan, and if he is successful in his career and has a very high favorability towards her, then she can get at least more than 900,000 yuan, which can extend her life for 90 days. If the other party only has a high favorability towards her but has lower career achievements, then she can only get at most 300,000 yuan, which can extend her life for 30 days.
If one day the full amount of one million is received, it means that the sponsored person has achieved 100% career success and his favorability towards her has also reached 100%. Then his life will be extended. The details are too numerous to mention and the system cannot explain clearly. Sheng Quan will only know when the time comes.
Sheng Quan, who had read a lot of novels in his previous life, had the first reaction after hearing the rules: Isn’t this a system for super rich people?
The difference is that the system will not create money out of thin air. It is simpler than the novels Sheng Quan has read before. It directly transfers money to the name of Sheng Quan, the host, through various legal means, such as the stock market, some long-forgotten assets, buying and selling, and platform rotation. Sheng Quan feels that if the system is a person, then it must be an excellent trader.
But in fact, the system cannot operate on its own. It is made up of people's will. Only when Shengquan completes the funding task can it start the next step.
[Again, I remind the host.] Although it is a nascent funding system, the system still warns Sheng Quan very professionally: [In the initial stage of funding, you can only choose one funding target per month. If you make a wrong choice, the host will lose the funding opportunity for this month, so please choose carefully.]
This is the second disappointing thing about the funding system besides 'giving you a car and a house but not giving you money'. It has no way to judge a person's character, and it can only be observed by the host Sheng Quan himself.
If Sheng Quan chooses a recipient with low character, the money will be wasted and not a penny will be returned to her.
But Sheng Quan was very confident: [Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes. I've read this book three times, and I know exactly who has the highest character value.]
Yes, this is Sheng Quan’s second "golden finger".
She is a person who travels through books.
Sheng Quan discovered this on the first day after arriving in this world, when she was frantically reading the history and news of this world. This world turned out to be the world of a book called "The Bright Stars" that she had once followed with true feelings.
"Starlight" is a fictional serialized entertainment novel that has become popular on the novel website. The world structure is huge, and the characters are numerous and rich. While the book is still being written, fan works are already everywhere. Almost every character has his or her own fan base, and popular characters are even more beloved by the public.
Then, the author wrote the characters to death one by one.
Those who loved singing more than life, had their voices destroyed and can never sing again, those who loved dancing on the stage suffered a car accident and left the stage forever, those who devoted themselves to polishing their acting skills were hidden, those who pursued their dreams in the entertainment industry left sadly, and those who were the most beautiful and cherished their looks were criticized to pieces and finally splashed with sulfuric acid by anti-fans...
Book fans are going crazy, okay?!
The author perfectly embodies what it means to 'create the best in them, and then destroy them bit by bit'. No matter how the readers cry and beg, he still sticks to his original intention and makes each vivid character dim, just like jokingly pinching off beautiful blooming flowers.
Sheng Quan, who is also a reader, expressed anger: "It's not funny at all!" She doesn't have a favorite popular character, she just likes to watch the characters do their careers, but it ended badly, and it was such a frustrating ending. Sheng Quan, who has a career-oriented mind, is not happy at all.
This book also quickly evolved from "the best-selling novel of the year" to "the most popular newspaper novel of all time". Countless readers turned into haters of the author, wishing to grind the author to ashes. Sheng Quan himself was one of the fans who turned into haters in anger and turned into a keyboard warrior. He held his keyboard all night and passionately insulted the author in a 10,000-word long review.
As a result, the next day, she didn't sleep well and had no energy on the road, so she failed to avoid the car that ran a red light in time.
Thinking of this, Sheng Quan wanted to insult the author again. She suspected that the wish power the system mentioned was the resentment of readers like them. She dared to say that her resentment at that time could definitely support ten evil sword immortals!
It seems reasonable to develop a system.
In short, Sheng Quan has quickly come to terms with and accepted the unscientific experiences of dying and coming back to life again, and having a system of a wealthy person that can help her prolong her life. After all, it seems that she didn't have much to miss in her previous life. Her parents didn't want her when they remarried, and her grandparents who raised her have passed away. She has only two or three friends, but they are not particularly close.
Not to mention love. People who are busy working from 5 to 9 have no time to fall in love.
Although she only has a few dozen dollars in her pocket now, if you really ask Sheng Quan whether she had a better life in her previous life or now, it must be now! Now the penthouse suite that costs 188,000 yuan a night is her daily residence, and the limited edition cool luxury car that costs 25 million yuan is her travel vehicle. She has a driver when she goes out, and every staff member in the hotel is respectful to her and responds to her requests. All the things she uses are the best and most expensive. Sheng Quan couldn't afford to live in such a place in her previous life, no matter how hard she worked, but now, all of these have become her daily life, and will continue to be so in the future.
After a brief moment of confusion, it would be a lie to say she was unhappy.
The only problem is that her life now has a countdown.
【006, how many days do I have left?】
The system's mechanical voice sounded: [The host can still survive for thirty days, twelve hours and fifty minutes. ]
It has both zeros and integers, and is quite rigorous.
Sheng Quan accepted the news that she only had 30 days to live. After all, strictly speaking, she was not from this world and was considered "dead" in her own world. Every day she lived was earned.
And most importantly, with two golden fingers in hand, Sheng Quan is very stable.
[And they have excellent conditions themselves, so I can sign them. Speaking of which, if I invest in a movie, I can get box office returns as an investor.]
Sheng Quan happily calculated in his mind: [With the cashback, that’s two sources of income. Oh no, I can also sell the copyright, which is three sources of income. Even if I don’t rely on the system cashback, I can still live a comfortable life.]
The system somehow ended up talking about a hundred ways for the host to make money: […But we are a funding system.]
[Yes.] Sheng Quan said confidently: [As long as the funding is in place, it’s fine. There is no rule that says you can’t make money while providing funding. There is no such rule, right?]
system:……
It felt that the host's idea seemed a little wrong, but it couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, as it had only been created by the power of will for less than a month, so it could only answer slowly: [...No.]
Sheng Quan: [That’s right, okay, let’s do it! ]
As soon as she finished speaking in her mind, the proprietress handed over the wrapped pancake. Although Sheng Quan's attitude was normal, just like any ordinary customer, she was still a little embarrassed and cautious in front of such an expensive luxury car.
"Well, your pancakes are ready."
"Thank you, Auntie." Sheng Quan took it with a smile and glanced at the person who was pushing two boxes towards them.
He was in his early thirties, very tall but not aggressive, with gentle yet upright features, giving people a feeling of a warm spring breeze. Even with beads of sweat on his forehead, he looked refreshed.
Sheng Quan took a bite of the pancake in her hand, feeling the comfortable dry fragrance melting in her throat, just like the feeling the other person gave her, warm and comfortable.
Even though he had only seen descriptions of him in books, Sheng Quan recognized him at a glance. This was Yan Hui, the Yan Hui in the book who was as gentle as jade and unparalleled in the world.
In "Starlight", Yan Hui is not the most popular character, but he is definitely the most popular with readers, because he can truly be called a gentleman, so gentleman that people feel that such a perfect person can only appear in a fictional world that is made up out of thin air.
This is also the reason why she appears here. In terms of character, Sheng Quan thinks of Yan Hui first.
And Yan Hui is also an excellent actor. If she had not been exploited by a black company for ten years and offended others because of helping others, and was unable to display her talent, it would not be her turn to pick up the bargain now.
Under Sheng Quan's unobtrusive gaze, Yan Hui walked over. Perhaps to make it easier to work, he was wearing a washed-out shirt with his sleeves casually rolled up. His beautiful fingers, with distinct joints but not slender, were resting on the cart.
It is worth mentioning that the book "Starlight" is simply a carnival for those who love beauty. Even a character like Yan Hui, who is not given much attention in the book, has such an outstanding appearance that makes people can't help but be dazzled.
I didn't feel much when I read the book, but when I actually met Yan Hui in real life, Sheng Quan, who is obsessed with looks, was attracted by his gentle temperament.
While Sheng Quan was secretly admiring the beauty, Yan Hui, who was being admired, walked to the side of the proprietress and looked up. When his eyes fell on the dazzling luxury car, a hint of surprise appeared in his slightly restrained eyes. However, he did not look at it like the others did. Instead, he quickly retracted his gaze, bent down and took the boxes off the cart.
The boss's wife wanted to help, but he gently refused: "Mom, your waist is not good, I can do it."
Sheng Quan looked at him bending over to work skillfully and thought, but your waist is not in good condition either.
Yan Hui had an old injury on his waist, which was sustained during filming. It would hurt if he exerted a little force, but he had always been good at hiding the pain, so few people knew about it. But it certainly could not be hidden from Sheng Quan, a reader with a God's perspective.
The boss's wife continued to work while muttering, "I told you I'm busy. You must be tired after working all day. Just go home and have a good rest. You have to work the night shift tonight."
Yan Hui listened to his mother's chatter patiently, and helped with his hands swiftly. He just smiled and replied, "I have been sitting in the office all day, and I am bored. I came here to stand for a while and exercise my body."
Looking at his smiling face with so much energy left, you couldn't tell at all that he had worked hard at the construction site all day. The thing that Sheng Quan admired most about Yan Hui was that even if he was exhausted to the extreme, he would do his best to hold on and not show it in front of his family in order to avoid worrying them.
Others would be able to hide it from him, but Sheng Quan, who had a God's perspective, could see the fatigue in Yan Hui's eyes and the barely perceptible reluctance in his smile.
Yan Hui now seems to be in the most desperate, painful and helpless stage of his life. Because his father is seriously ill and needs money, he resolutely gives up his dream of pursuing the entertainment industry and returns to his hometown to support the family. It is obvious that the job he finds in order to raise enough money as soon as possible is hard labor, and in order not to worry his mother, he has to create a decent appearance of working in a company. It seems that it is written in the book that he gets up at four in the morning and goes to bed at one in the morning.
Sheng Quan, who was once exploited by an unscrupulous boss, had to get up at 5:30 in the morning to commute and could not get home until the early hours of the morning, could empathize with this passage in the book.
The difference was that she only lasted half a month before her face became sallow, her eyes dull and her spirit became irritable, while Yan Hui lasted a full two months and was still smiling at his mother.
What’s even more amazing is that he can only sleep three hours a day and looks so haggard, yet he still looks so good.
Sheng Quan was admiring the beauty openly while thinking about all sorts of things in her mind. After she finished the last bite of the pancake, she called out, "Hello."
Yan Hui's men were busy at work. When they heard the voice, they immediately looked up and glanced over in question.
Then he saw the girl sitting in the luxury car handing him a pen and paper.
The girl smiled with eyes curved: "Excuse me, are you interested in filming? If you are interested, can you leave me your phone number? I have a play in hand, and I think you are suitable for it."
"Of course, it's not confirmed right away. If you're interested, you still have to audition."
Yan Hui was startled. He had not been an actor for a long time. Hearing the word "audition" again, he felt as if he was in another world. Before he could answer, the proprietress happily agreed:
"Oh! Great! My son is an actor! Thank you, Yan Hui, hurry up and write it down."
"Mom." Yan Hui shouted helplessly. He wanted to say that he had no mood to go for the audition now, but his mother stuffed a pen into his hand.
The boss's wife urged him: "Write quickly, don't waste the boss' time."
Yan Hui had no choice but to write it down and return the paper and pen to Sheng Quan. Since he offended someone, he had been rejected too many times. He actually didn't have much hope for this opportunity. After all, he had been disappointed too many times. He had learned not to expect anything anymore. But he still said to Sheng Quan seriously, "Thank you."
Even though there was little hope, he was sincerely grateful to the girl who was willing to show him kindness.
"You're welcome."
Sheng Quan smiled and signaled the driver to drive.
The driver obviously had good professional qualities. Even though Sheng Quan lived in an expensive hotel and drove a limited edition luxury car but came to eat Jianbing, and extended an audition invitation to the son of the owner of the Jianbing shop, he did not show any emotional response and just quietly did his job.
The dazzling luxury car restarted, and Sheng Quan sat in the car, looking down at the mobile phone number in her hand, as if she saw a lot of life points and small amounts of money flying towards her with wings.
Sheng Quan's mood instantly improved.
【System, this opportunity will support Yan Hui. 】
Um……
At least this time, Yan Hui will not be disappointed again.
