Chapter 390 The next time you need to speak, it'll be because you're begging me.
Meanwhile, Shi Nianzheng invited Lin Zhihuan to a spa treatment at a beauty salon.
They went to the same beauty salon that Xu Qinxin had taken Shi Nian to last time.
She didn't care at all what Lu Xinyi thought.
The main reason for inviting Lin Zhihuan over this time was to thank her for helping her investigate Gu Qian's matter.
After the two changed their clothes, they were sitting in the hall. Shi Nian said to Lin Zhihuan, "Now that Gu Qian's mother's matter has been resolved, Yu Yan's matter will be much easier to handle. Huanhuan, thank you."
Lin Zhihuan happily sipped her tea, laughing as she said, "Hehe, no need to thank me. I didn't take nothing, haha, Shi Nian, I've been paying for everything here this past year on your tab!"
Shi Nian smiled and said, "Okay!"
"How have things been between you and Jian Jinran lately?" Shi Nian asked.
“It’s the same as always, I…” Lin Zhihuan replied.
The two chatted casually, one sentence after the other.
Just then, the door to the beauty salon opened, and two people walked in.
They had barely entered when someone rushed up to them, and there was a great commotion over there, with people talking about something.
Moreover, the other party must be someone of high status, as the beauty salon manager personally greeted them.
Shi Nian and Lin Zhihuan also heard some noise and looked up together.
But as soon as I looked up, I saw another person in front of me.
It was Lu Xinyi, and she was with another woman.
After Lu Xinyi came in, she also saw Shi Nian.
For a moment, Lu Xinyi's expression became amused.
Lu Xinyi has been very nervous lately. She was only a little happier these past two days because she had suppressed Shi Nian, so she immediately invited the friend who had temporarily lent her money to come here for a beauty treatment.
Standing next to Lu Xinyi is her friend An'an.
"An'an, I knew it! There was a strange smell here today. Now I know why," Lu Xinyi said sarcastically.
Lin Zhihuan knew perfectly well that Lu Xinyi was mocking them, and she immediately stood up.
Shi Nian grabbed Lin Zhihuan and shook her head, signaling Lin Zhihuan not to act impulsively.
Seeing Shi Nian and Lin Zhihuan's actions, Lu Xinyi immediately smiled.
“Yes, don’t move.” Lu Xinyi’s face was full of smugness, her eyes fixed on Shi Nian. “You guys have been in a bad situation lately, constantly losing money. When you’re at your lowest point, you have to keep your guard down.”
"Lu Xinyi, watch your mouth!" Lin Zhihuan immediately retorted.
Lu Xinyi shrugged indifferently, then looked at her friend and said, "Oh dear, why do I feel a huge aura of bad luck around here?"
Her friend blinked, immediately understanding, and said with a smile, "I didn't know, I didn't see it outside just now."
Lu Xinyi chuckled and said to the manager who had followed her, "What's going on? You guys aren't screening your guests at all. I feel like the feng shui here is bad. It looks so unlucky."
The manager looked at Shi Nian, then at Lu Xinyi, and for a moment didn't know what to say, so he could only wipe his sweat and smile apologetically.
Shi Nian didn't want to pay attention to Lu Xinyi and was about to leave with Lin Zhihuan.
But Lu Xinyi quickly took two steps forward and blocked Shi Nian's path.
"What? You're going to run away after just a few words?" Lu Xinyi sneered. "You can't even handle this little bit? What are you even playing at?"
Shi Nian turned around and distanced herself from Lu Xinyi.
She shielded Lin Zhihuan behind her and looked at Lu Xinyi.
“Lu Xinyi, don’t speak so confidently,” Shi Nian said. “I have no grudge against you, and there are many things you don’t need to do.”
Lu Xinyi laughed even more happily upon hearing this.
"You make it sound like you're so innocent!" Lu Xinyi felt endless resentment as she recalled the events of the past few days.
But the thought that Shi Nian was the one who had suffered a setback made her feel better.
Lu Xinyi took a step forward, getting closer to Shi Nian, looking at Shi Nian's face, and said with a smile, "So, have you admitted defeat?"
Shi Nian raised her eyes and looked at Lu Xinyi, who was still smug, with an unreadable expression in her eyes.
“Lu Xinyi, sometimes you have to give yourself a chance, don’t walk yourself into a dead end,” Shi Nian said softly.
"Still being stubborn?" Lu Xinyi laughed. She glanced at Lin Zhihuan to the side, then turned back to Shi Nian and said, "You still have money to get facials done, so cherish this time. Later, you might not have the money to do this anymore."
Then, turning to Lin Zhihuan beside him, he said, "You too."
After saying that, Lu Xinyi burst into unrestrained laughter again.
Shi Nian didn't speak, she just stood there calmly.
“Yes, it’s right to keep quiet,” Lu Xinyi said. “Shi Nian, the next time you speak, it will be because you’re begging me. An’an, let’s go.”
As she spoke, Lu Xinyi led her friends inside.
When her friend went in with her, he gave Shi Nian a mocking look from head to toe.
The manager nodded to Shi Nian and immediately followed.
As they walked along the corridor, they were filled with Lu Xinyi's cheerful laughter.
Lin Zhihuan and Shi Nian stood in place.
"Why don't you let me say something back to her? I get annoyed just looking at her like that!" Lin Zhihuan said angrily.
Shi Nian watched Lu Xinyi's departing figure and said, "There's no need to argue with her."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Lin Zhihuan and said, "She has been overwhelmed by emotions, lost her rationality, and is unable to make normal judgments."
Lin Zhihuan didn't know what Shi Nian was talking about.
Shi Nian smiled and said, "Don't worry about her. Why don't we go back to our pool and soak? You'll get wrinkles if you get angry."
Lin Zhihuan immediately covered her face.
Shi Nian smiled and reached out to tap Lin Zhihuan's forehead.
The two of them playfully bickered as they went inside.
Just before entering, Shi Nian glanced in Lu Xinyi's direction one last time.
...
The next day, Lu Xinyi remained smug.
Another day has passed.
Suddenly, on that very day, a shocking piece of news broke.
A landslide occurred at a copper mine in country G.
The underground copper mine chose to conceal the truth in order to protect the company's reputation.
But now it can't be hidden anymore.
Furthermore, there have been casualties, and family members are now causing trouble outside the company.
The company that owns the copper mine immediately launched a public relations campaign.
"We apologize, this is our problem, and we will take responsibility for this incident."
On the news screen, the other party stated, "We will temporarily suspend underground operations for a thorough safety inspection and halt production in the short term."
"We will definitely provide a perfect solution to this matter."
...
Production halted!
This copper mine is quite large, and copper is used in many places, but it has now ceased production.
Furthermore, it was just an inspection, and there was no indication of when mining would resume.
It's still unknown when production will be suspended.
The news quickly spread throughout the industry.
Copper prices had been falling continuously, but now, due to the stimulus of news, they have rebounded sharply.
Copper prices surged immediately.
