Chapter 115: One Hundred and Fifty Million, Final Chapter, Choose One from Eight...
[The Fukin Black Card holder has appeared?! !]
[Impossible! How could the Fujin Black Card, being so mysterious, easily become a trending topic?]
[Really?! My friend who runs a marketing account received a message from a mysterious person saying there's a real problem with the Fujin black card!]
What is the Fukin Black Card?
[You're so ignorant, you don't even understand this. This is the most expensive card in the world, there's only one, and it seems to have unlimited global use.]
[Unlimited amount?]
[You can use your card wherever you want. All banks automatically accept its currency unit. There are no restrictions. You don't have to consider the exchange rate. Of course, there is no upper limit.]
[Holy crap! Doesn't this card mean I have all the money in the world?]
[That’s right!]
[So who is the owner of this card? ! ! !]
The term #FujinBlackCard# appeared in the hot searches on major platforms. No one in the comments pointed out who the holder of this card was, but just released the news, as if giving a warning.
Inside the villa, the afternoon sunset shone lazily into the large living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Xin Jingli leaned on the sofa, her beautiful long hair reflecting a soft luster.
She was swiping her phone calmly, scrolling through the information related to the "Fujin Black Card". She just looked at her empty bag as if nothing had happened, pretended to know nothing, and switched to the next hot search term to eat melon.
On the side, a man wearing a custom-made white shirt and well-tailored trousers, holding a cup of coffee he had personally mixed in one hand and a cake he had just made in the other, slowly walked to Xin Jingli.
Jingyun bent over the table and glanced at her phone screen.
"It's time for afternoon tea. Your eyes must be tired from playing with your phone too much, right?" He said in a soft tone with a smile. He walked behind Xin Jingli, took her phone, and put his finger on her temples, rubbing it gently in circles.
"Even if you're busy with work, you still need to rest." Jingyun pretended not to see it and found an excuse to divert her attention.
"Yeah, then let's not play with the phone for now." Xin Jingli saw through it but didn't say anything. He just raised his eyebrows, picked up the coffee, and really started to enjoy it.
On the other side, in the Zhang family's old house, on the sofa in the hall.
Old Master Zhang stared at the movements of several mobile phones on the table with a frown. Next to them was a black Fujin card that he had seen for the first time.
He was the one who leaked the news.
He originally wanted to let Xin Jingli know that he was using this card to threaten her.
This card is the reason for her wealth and her only support. The four families of Tan, Xi, Jing and Qin must have been hindered by this card. Those young masters created a scene of fighting for love.
According to Xin Jingli's style of doing things, the entire network should have been restricted by now, but the entries on all platforms are still fine, and she has not contacted him.
Old Master Zhang took a deep breath and said, "One more entry. Tomorrow night, Fujin Black Card holders will use this card to make donations at the largest charity dinner in East City. Let's see how it goes."
Old Master Zhang has worked hard all his life, and he built the Zhang family with his own hands. Seeing that the Zhang family's position in Dongcheng was being encroached upon, he naturally could not sit idly by.
Of course, there is another important thing to do by doing this. He wants to pull Zhang Shidao out.
As for the connection, if Xin Jingli had not stopped him, Zhang Shidao would not have had to go in at all. He could have just given some money and asked someone to take care of it.
It just so happened that Xin Jingli was unwilling to do so and did not want to reconcile, so he asked the four families of Jing, Xi, Tan and Qin to join forces to put pressure on him and stir up public opinion, which is why he let Zhang Shidao in to pretend to do so.
Now that so much time has passed, it would be fine to find a way to get it out, as long as Xin Jingli doesn't interfere.
On all major platforms, the entry for [Fujin Black Card] exploded once.
[Oh my god! He's actually in East City!!! There's actually such a big shot in my neighborhood?! ! !]
[Are people in Dongcheng too lucky? Sister Li used to be from there too, and there were a few people who liked her, especially those second-generation rich kids. It was so exaggerated, it felt like you could bump into them just walking down the street.]
[Nonsense, Dongcheng is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, why not come and travel?]
[Wait, a charity dinner? I remember this dinner was closed, right? No excitement to watch?]
[No, no, no, ordinary dinners are closed. This is East City's largest annual charity dinner. There are many tricks involved. Major companies and groups are all watching and want to develop connections there, so they all show their skills.]
[Yes, whoever has a strong presence has a good foundation, and naturally more people will come to discuss cooperation, which will make the future easier.]
[This dinner was previously live-streamed, but because the attendees were mostly family elders and no prominent figures with good looks, the attention was mostly from those in the industry, and it didn't attract much attention outside of the industry.]
[Things are different now. The Fujin Black Card is about to appear. I guess tomorrow night will be very lively!]
[Wow, rich people really know how to have fun! I'll definitely be watching tomorrow night. Do you have a link so I can make a reservation?!]
[I want it too!]
In an instant, the charity dinner reservations were fully booked and became a hot topic.
The number of participants is increasing, and the amount of discussion is also increasing.
Among them, some people also talked about Sister Li.
[Do you think Sister Li will show up tomorrow night?]
[If she shows up, will she still be wearing a mask?]
[Actually, I don't really care about the Fujin Black Card; I really want to see what she looks like.]
[Me too! I was one of the first fans! I want to see it, I want to see it, I want to see it!]
…
The topic continued to be hotly searched, and #Who is the holder of the Fujin black card# rushed to the top.
Everyone is guessing who is involved.
Tan Jingfan, Xi Jimu, Qin Qing and Jingyun have the highest support, followed by the Zhang family.
There are also reports that it is from Jin Jingfang, Ling Yao, Xi Yahe, and Xu Zhanyan.
On the other side, the unanimous external chat group exploded.
For the eight of them, it was no secret that the owner of this card was Xin Jingli.
When Xi Jiyu sold the villa to Xin Jingli, he felt that there was something wrong with the card, and the information about Xin Jingli staying at Qin Qing's hotel was also saved.
Siah: [What should we do now? Was my sister's card stolen?]
Qin Qing: [Who stole it? Any news?]
Xu Zhanyan: [It's most likely the Zhang family. The source of the news was spread by the Zhang family. I asked my sister, and she said there's no need to block it or ignore it. I don't know what her plans are.]
Ling Yao: [Will Jing Li attend the dinner tomorrow night?]
Xi Jiyu: [Logically, she would. Her current status is different. No one who can afford to contribute will be left out of these activities in Dongcheng.]
Jin Jingfang: [Yes, she just told me to go there to protect her tomorrow night]
Qin Qing: [I received it too.]
Jin Jingfang and Qin Qing, a bodyguard and a driver, naturally knew the itinerary first.
Jingyun: [So, she's not planning on hiding anymore? Tomorrow night's live broadcast. If she shows up, she'll probably be filmed in real time, given the buzz.]
Xu Zhanyan: [It's all fine. As long as she wants, we just do what she says.]
Qin Qing: [Does she want to go get the card back by herself? How? What can we do?]
Xi Jiyu: [I just asked her if she needed any special security for tomorrow night, and she said no, and asked us not to get involved.]
Ling Yao: [But…]
The eight people argued in the group until the next afternoon, but they still couldn't come up with a solution.
Go get it back for her in advance?
They had no way of knowing who the card belonged to, nor could they prove that the card was hers.
Stop her for her own safety?
They couldn't change what Xin Jingli decided.
Before departure, they could only say: take it one step at a time.
At 7:30 the next evening, the sky in East City rarely turned blue.
The dinner was held in a suburban manor. The major families heard that there would be a black card event tonight, so they arrived early and chose the best viewing spots.
Xi Jiyu and his group of six also stood together in suits and ties, holding champagne, their eyes extremely alert.
During the live broadcast, the barrage of comments took off
[These six people are so pleasing to the eyes!]
[I said Sister Li has good taste!]
[But have they finally decided the winner? Who did Sister Li choose?]
[I think Xi Jiyu is a good choice. He’s handsome and can manage the company. That’s a good choice!]
[No, no, no, Jingyun, she's gentle and virtuous, and can also manage the company!]
[What? Xu Zhanyan! Her defense system is invincible. Besides, she's only eighteen years old! Young and promising with a healthy body, who wouldn't love her?]
[Alright, alright, stop arguing! I'm taking screenshots like crazy.]
[But why are there only six people? Where are the other two?]
[Look~ Aren’t the Qin family here?]
The Qin family's black Rolls-Royce slowly drove to the gate of the manor. Against the backdrop of the red carpet, the Rolls-Royce was so black that it reflected light.
There was another car of the same model following behind, like conjoined twins, always sticking close to the car in front.
The moment the car stopped, flashes of light went off and on, and the barrage of comments went crazy.
[Oh my god! ! ! ! If I'm not mistaken, the passenger seat is a girl? ! ! !]
[Ahhhhhh it’s Sister Li!]
[Although I haven’t seen her face, I know her figure very well!!!]
[It's so beautiful! Even the blurry reflection is so beautiful!]
…
Inside the car, Qin Qing turned to look at the figure in the darkness ahead, then looked at Xin Jingli, who was wearing a white evening gown and a golden mask, and her heart trembled.
"How about we go back?"
He wasn't sure what Xin Jingli was going to do tonight, but the Zhang family must have been prepared for this card. Xin Jingli hadn't said anything yet, so he couldn't guarantee her safety. Plus, there were cameras everywhere outside. If she said or did something wrong, people would make unfounded accusations and public opinion would drown her.
"I'll think of a way to deal with the card issue." Qin Qing said lightly.
Behind the mask, the co-pilot's beautiful eyes shone faintly as he quietly looked at the figure in the distance and said softly, "No, you guys can do whatever you need to do later. Don't worry about me on the scene."
"No!" Qin Qing turned sideways, frowning, "We are very worried about you. If the Zhang family..."
"I can handle it myself. Your presence will only cause unnecessary trouble."
After he finished speaking, Qin Qing's eyes darkened. He looked at the cold mask in disbelief, and nodded mechanically.
It's working hours now, he can't put himself in her shoes and affect her emotions.
Qin Qing gathered his thoughts, got out of the car, walked around and opened the door. As expected, the camera turned to the passenger seat.
Flashes as dazzling as stars flashed one after another, and after seeing the flawless mask, they sighed with regret as if they could speak.
The barrage also expressed regret.
[Sure enough, I shouldn't have had such high expectations. I knew she would be wearing a mask.]
[Why? She's so beautiful, and everyone else is eager to show off their faces and attract traffic, but she keeps herself so tightly covered.]
[Sister Li...is it so hard to just look at you?!]
…
Xin Jingli ignored the camera, gestured to Qin Qing, and walked into the manor.
Along the way, the leaders of various families extended olive branches. They all knew that a beautiful woman suddenly appeared in Dongcheng. She came from a wealthy family and was favored by the rich second generation. Other families were also jealous and wanted to find a good partner for their sons.
Being able to get married, manage a company, be rich and powerful, who wouldn’t want to have it all?
Xin Jingli naturally knew what those people were thinking, and he just nodded lightly along the way without paying much attention to them.
"Tsk, so arrogant, no wonder he wears a mask, I guess it must be very ugly and he dare not let others see it!"
"That's right, so rude. It's my first time here, and my chin is already in the air."
"Forget it, forget it, don't worry about her. The protagonist tonight is Fujin Heika, don't let this little girl affect your mood."
"Yes, yes, yes! The Fujin Black Card is important!"
…
A few people cursed at each other, but soon calmed themselves down and turned around to look around to see who was the holder of the Fujin black card.
Xin Jingli found a seat in a corner and sat down, ignoring everything in the room.
Soon, the charity dinner began and the host began to introduce the treasures to be auctioned tonight.
Xi Jiyu and a few others were originally still present. Logically, they didn't need to be present, as it was up to the elders in the family to attend the meeting. Xin Jingli signaled them to leave to avoid too many people and too many topics to talk about later.
When a few people saw that they were kicked out, they gathered in the lobby of the hotel next to the manor, sat on the sofas in the lobby, looked dejected, and stared at the live broadcast on their phones.
Siah: "What on earth is my sister trying to do?! Why won't you let us follow? What if there's danger?!"
Jingyun: "Why is Jin Jingfang here too? Isn't he here to protect her?"
Jin Jingfang: "There's no other way. I have no choice but to obey Jing Li's orders."
Everyone was silent. They had agreed not to disobey her orders.
"Actually, she just... said we're quite troublesome..." Qin Qing's mood became even more gloomy, and his eyes drooped. "I think we should ask her... if there are any results from the assessment now... and whether it's time to choose one..."
This was the topic they were most reluctant to discuss, so several people remained silent and pretended not to hear.
After a while, the host's inspiring voice came from the phone: "One hundred million?! Is this gentleman really going to spend one hundred million?"
It's just a vase, and logically speaking, it shouldn't be worth so much money. Even though it's a charity dinner and the price is deliberately inflated for charity, it won't be that much higher.
But tonight is different. From the beginning, everyone was wondering who the Fujin black card holder was and whether he would be generous enough to make a contribution.
When the price was announced, everyone in the audience gasped.
"Mr. Zhang? He offered 100 million? Could it really be him?"
"Why do I feel that it's not true? The Zhang family wants to save face. If they really had this card, would Mr. Zhang still have to fight for his whole life?"
"But at the previous charity dinner, although the Zhang family was generous, they also spent the money where it was needed. Unlike now, spending 100 million on this vase is simply throwing money away!"
"Then it really could be him!"
Host: "Miss, are you really going to bid 200 million?!!!"
Perhaps because he had never seen such a scene before, the host was very professional, but there was still a hint of trembling in his words.
If 200 million yuan is not donated to charity to support black card holders, what is the purpose?
In an instant, all eyes shifted from Mr. Zhang to the golden mask in the corner.
Xin Jingli quietly raised the sign and nodded. His calmness was so powerful that it caused a huge storm at the scene.
"No, no! Could it be her?"
"It's really possible! She just arrived in East City and immediately established her own power network. Moreover, the sons of several families are completely devoted to her. It makes sense!"
"I bet it's that golden mask!"
…
Amidst the whispers of discussion, Xin Jingli calmly put away his sign and sat quietly, waiting for the next opportunity to raise his sign and the next opportunity to compete with Mr. Zhang.
Host: "Three hundred million?!!! Mr. Zhang?! Are you really willing to bid three hundred million?!!!"
The host's voice once again drew everyone's attention back.
Xin Jingli was not surprised at all.
She turned her head calmly and looked through the mask at Mr. Zhang in the front row of the crowd.
Old Master Zhang is over sixty years old, his hair is gray, and his face is full of wrinkles, deep and shallow. Even so, his eyes are still sharp, and the hand holding the cane still shows the ruthlessness of his youth.
When others raised the sign for him, he turned his head slightly and looked at Xin Jingli, his eyes showing that he was determined to stay with her until the end of the night.
Xin Jingli still raised the sign calmly.
Time and time again, everyone turned their heads until they felt dizzy.
Host: "Mr. Zhang! You have to think carefully. This time, the bid you're raising is the capped price for this event: 7 billion! And you have to sign the contract on the spot and verify the payment card!"
In order to appear more humane, every charity dinner has a price cap. On ordinary days, it is more than 1 billion yuan, but tonight's dinner is bigger, so it is set at 7 billion yuan.
The whole audience held their breath, unable to believe it.
The barrage is also crazy.
[Fuck!!! 7 billion! What’s wrong with me being a rich guy in this world?]
[This confirms that he is a Fujin Black Card holder, right?]
[But Sister Li also raised her sign many times just now. Is she also that rich?]
[Now I suspect she's trying to hype things up. She probably heard through the grapevine that Mr. Zhang is a Fujin Black Card holder and will definitely bid the most, so she's deliberately raising the price to attract attention!]
[I feel the same way now. Fujin Black Card! Is this a joke? My filter is shattered!]
…
"What should we do? Public opinion is not in her favor now!" In the lobby, several people were extremely anxious.
"What is she doing? Why is she roasting herself on the fire?"
"It's okay, trust her! We'll wait and see what happens. If necessary, we'll charge in!"
"But listen! Those people in the venue are also scolding her!"
Mr. Zhang's final transaction price of 7 billion seemed to confirm his identity as a Fujin black card holder, and everyone cast flattering glances at him.
Xin Jingli's relentless pursuit and holding of the sign just now clearly offended Mr. Zhang, and those people now also regard her as an enemy.
"This little girl is so ignorant that she actually dares to use this card to make a joke!"
"That's right! If it weren't for Mr. Zhang's magnanimity, he would have had her kicked out by now!"
"I told you! This person definitely has no background! I still remember when she attended the dinner party before, she didn't even have an invitation card! It was Zhang Shidao who spoke up for her and let her in!"
"What? There's such a thing? But wasn't she the one who sent Zhang Shidao in?"
"Yeah, I originally thought Zhang Shidao deserved it, but now it seems like he might have been set up!"
"This woman is so scary! She actually devoured my benefactor completely!"
…
These words also drifted into Xin Jingli's ears. She didn't care at all. She just looked at Mr. Zhang and clapped gently to express her congratulations.
Old Master Zhang seemed to be lost in thought, always feeling that something was not right, but now that the card was in his hands, it didn't matter even if there was a fraud.
Whoever gets the Fujin black card will rule the world. Now the Zhang family can act so tyrannically.
Under the guidance of the host, Mr. Zhang walked towards the microphone with a cane and in high spirits.
He smiled, his eyes gleaming with a foxy glint. "Thank you all for coming tonight. I really like this vase. It's an honor for me, Old Man Zhang, to be able to photograph it and do some charity at the same time."
The audience was still flattering: "Rich people still have a big vision. 7 billion to buy a vase! Mr. Zhang is so generous!"
As they were talking, the staff brought up the contract and placed it in front of Mr. Zhang, and the people below all leaned over to look.
If this contract is signed, it means that the vase must be purchased, and even if it means going to the ends of the earth, the money must be returned.
Everyone below wanted to see if he would hesitate, but before they could even start discussing, Mr. Zhang signed his name.
"Okay, now I'm sure he's the Fujin Black Card holder!"
The people below seemed to have witnessed something extraordinary. They applauded and cheered, and shouted loudly about the magnanimity of the Zhang family and the great vision of Mr. Zhang.
Host: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your gift! However, because the amount is so large, we need to verify your card. Please show it to me."
Everyone knew that although the Zhang family was wealthy, the cash flow they could produce was not as much as 7 billion, so this card must be a black card for Fujin. Everyone kept quiet and looked out, wanting to see what it looked like.
Mr. Zhang lowered his head and chuckled. "Of course, this is a necessary procedure for the dinner. I will naturally cooperate. It's just that this card is a bit special. I hope everyone won't pay too much attention to it."
These words added insult to injury.
Even so, when the black bank card was taken out, there was still a deafening exclamation at the scene.
"Oh my god! It's really him!"
"Not necessarily! Everyone, don't panic! There's no daily transaction limit on the Fujin Black Card! If he pays the 7 billion on the spot later, that will prove it's him!"
I don't know who said this, it was a girl's voice, but it sounded like a sharp thorn to Mr. Zhang's ears.
"Now I will use this card to make the on-the-spot payment." Feeling guilty about the thief and eager to prove that it was him, Mr. Zhang immediately took over the conversation.
Originally, no one was so forced to do it, but when they heard Mr. Zhang take the initiative to bring it up, they immediately cast expectant glances.
The staff brought the equipment and, in order to highlight the special nature of this card, even broadcast it on the big screen on site so that everyone could see the specific operations.
The sense of satisfaction reached its peak, and Mr. Zhang put the Fujin black card on with a smile.
"Go ahead," he said.
The staff took it with both hands and operated it carefully.
The next second, the atmosphere in the whole place froze, and Mr. Zhang's smile froze.
The big screen displayed: Warning! Non-holder operation, Fujin Black Card has been frozen!
The whole audience gasped.
What followed was all kinds of sarcasm and ridicule.
"Who isn't him? Then whose card is this?"
"But seeing how arrogant he was just now, it was obviously him!"
"Oh my God! This is so embarrassing! Could this card be stolen?"
"I understand the logic, but didn't they say before that this card can be used without a password? It even has an automatic recognition function?"
"Now I understand. Extremely wealthy people aren't fools. How could a card without a PIN be used by anyone? Wouldn't that be chaos? Anyone can just rob it if they want."
…
Old Master Zhang's hands were shaking and his face was pale. His face, which was originally full of wrinkles, now looked as if all the energy had been sucked out of it, and his lips were purple.
He stared blankly at the bank card, then slowly turned his head and looked at the mask lying quietly in the corner.
He thought the mask was so scary, like it could eat people, was silent, and didn't spit out bones.
"Mr. Zhang? Mr. Zhang?!" The host laughed inwardly, but still pretended to be calm and called out softly, "Mr. Zhang, do you have another card that can be verified?"
The Zhang family has a cash flow of 7 billion. They have lost a lot of money in the Zhang Shidao incident before. Now they want so much money. Isn’t this clearly an attempt to cut off the capital chain?
He didn't want to bid so high originally, it was all because of that person who kept following him and raising the sign, which caused the price to go up so much!
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang felt a chill down his spine.
He looked at the mask in disbelief, his gray pupils trembling violently.
She was the one who kept holding up the sign just now, so this was her plan? Was she doing this on purpose?
Mr. Zhang staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the staff came forward to help him. They knew that he had encountered difficulties, but the contract had already been signed and the assets in the card had to be verified.
"Mr. Zhang, if you really can't produce a verification card, you can also use your assets as collateral," the host reminded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen switched to a video that was taken inside the shopping mall. A pair of hands reached out to a lady's backpack and took out the bank card from the bag.
The scene changed, and the hands drove the car into the Zhang family's old house.
"Damn, he really stole it!"
"Bah! I told you Zhang Shidao deserves to go to jail! If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked!"
"Mr. Zhang is so foolish! He lived a lifetime, but in the end he lost his integrity!"
"No wonder the Zhang family is in decline! I think this move is bankrupting the Zhang family!"
"Serves you right! If you hadn't stolen or robbed me, I'd be living a good life now!"
As he was speaking, the police rushed in from outside and handcuffed Mr. Zhang.
"You are suspected of a large theft and need to come with us now."
At the same time, the charity dinner has already prepared relevant staff to deal with the practice of people who cannot pay but still bid high prices. They want to recover the money to the end.
"Mr. Zhang, according to the contract you just signed, you owe us 7 billion. Since you are unable to repay, we will auction off your house and car to pay off the debt."
In an instant, the Zhang family seemed to have disappeared in an instant, and the whole audience was in an uproar.
"See, this is what happens when you're not a good person. You do all the bad things, but in the end, you get nothing good!"
"No wonder everyone used to despise the Zhang family!"
"But who exactly is the holder of this card?"
"Don't you think the girl in the video just now looks familiar?"
While everyone was talking, they unconsciously looked towards a corner of the venue.
Over there, the golden mask that had been sitting quietly is now just an empty chair.
Outside the manor, inside the black Ferrari.
"Sister, the matter has been resolved. I followed Mr. Zhang's theft and the use of his assets to repay debts. Also, here's your card." Li Xiangjie handed over the Fu Jin black card.
Xin Jingli put it away and patted her, "Thank you for your hard work. It seems that you have learned very well."
Li Xiangjie wrinkled her nose and smiled, "Then can I reserve a position in your company's legal department now?"
"Of course, you are very good." Xin Jingli smiled.
Li Xiangjie nodded.
The matter was settled. Xin Jingli was just about to ask her driver and bodyguard where they had gone and why they had all disappeared when she received a message from them saying that they were going to a high-end hotel.
Strange, all eight of them are here?
Xin Jingli didn't understand, but thinking about how he had just ignored them for the sake of the plan, they were probably angry, so he didn't ask any questions and drove over directly.
The hotel is not far from the manor.
Logically speaking, there are a lot of people coming here tonight, and they are all well-known figures. No matter how high-end this hotel is, there shouldn't be no one here.
But when she arrived, there was no one there except a parking attendant and a receptionist.
Xin Jingli was confused and just walked to the front desk.
I only saw the receptionist with a standard smile, skillfully placing eight room cards in front of me, each card had their corresponding name written on it.
After setting up the front desk, he said, "Please feel free to do as you please," and left.
There was a note on the room cards: [According to your heart, choose the person you most want to see.]
In the empty hall, Xin Jingli stared at the note and slowly reached out his hand.
