Chapter 16: 1.6 Billion "Are you almost in love?"...
Xu Zhanyan turned off her phone, stood up, and politely called, "Sister."
Seeing that he was the only one in the living room and his wound had been treated, Xin Jingli walked over and looked at his face.
She has fair skin, delicate features, and clear, clean pupils. She looks like a handsome classmate in the class who is quiet and has good grades. She is used to being alone. She is tall and has a good figure. She only reaches his shoulders.
Normally, a handsome guy of this level should be very narcissistic, but he avoids me as soon as I look him in the eye. This shy look makes him more charming and makes people want to bully him.
Damn, she must look pretty when she cries.
Xin Jingli was frightened by her own thoughts. She blinked and told herself to be a good person.
"It doesn't hurt anymore?" She raised her chin towards him.
Xu Zhanyan nodded, "Sister, I..."
"Eat something first, don't rush back." Thinking that he was still worried about the access control, Xin Jingli waved his hand, walked to the phone and pressed the call button.
"Send dinner over, a double portion." She ordered from the other end.
Xu Zhanyan was surprised.
Until now, she has been interrupting him, not letting him mention the repayment, and repeatedly emphasizing the access control. Did she see that he was worried that she was up to something bad?
He opened and closed his mouth, wanting to explain, but the moment he was about to speak, Xu Zhanyan frowned, his eyes focused on the girl's face.
Why do I feel like she's different?
She was lifeless before, but now her face is rosy. Moreover, he didn't listen carefully just now, but now he remembered that the strength of her voice was different. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito before, but now it is sonorous and powerful, and every word is clear.
As he looked at it, Xu Zhanyan's eyes softened.
In fact, when her eyes brightened, the freckles on her cheeks looked pretty nice, giving her a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat, and although she was thin, she felt very powerful.
Xu Zhanyan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
The door behind him opened and a waiter came in pushing a food cart. Xu Zhanyan quickly lowered his lips, cleared his throat, looked away, and quickly switched the APP interface with his hands, pretending to be busy.
After the waiter served dinner and left, Xin Jingli sat down and patted the chair next to him, "Sit down and have something to eat."
Xu Zhanyan nodded, but did not pick up the chopsticks after sitting down.
Xin Jingli didn't care about him. He handed him a piece of steak, said, "Eat as much as you want, it's a buffet," and then started stuffing the delicious food into his mouth.
She used to be weak, and every time she ate big mouthfuls of food, she felt her jawline was shaky. Now, her bite strength has increased, and she wants to grab food with both hands and stuff it into her mouth, using her mouth as a grinder to crush whatever is delicious.
Occasionally she would take the time to look at Xu Zhanyan, but he didn't move, just staring at her.
"Why don't you eat? There are so many cuisines, but you don't like any of them?" Xin Jingli looked at him, still chewing his mouth.
Xu Zhanyan was startled, lowered his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Her cheeks are chubby and there is sauce at the corners of her mouth, which is very cute.
Xin Jingli wondered what this kid was doing. He couldn't be so shy, could he? He didn't even dare to eat in front of strangers?
So he went up to him.
When Xu Zhanyan raised his head and met his gaze, his heartbeat quickened, thump-thump.
It was the first time a girl was so close to him, and she didn't care about her image at all. She looked at him while chewing, and she looked more lively, confident and generous.
Well, it's quite attractive.
bite-
The system pops up a prompt: [A change in Xu Zhanyan's favorability towards the host has been detected. The current favorability is 84, 24 points can be converted, 21 have been converted, 3 points have been converted this time, and the host has 3 available enhancement points.]
Xin Jingli blinked.
Huh? Another increase?
No, what did she do?
System: [Alarm, alert, host, please take note! When a man with an appearance score of 8 or above has a favorable impression of you that is greater than or equal to 85 points, that impression will be upgraded from ordinary emotion to love. At that point, the host will be one step closer to gaining a dog-licking admiration!]
What?! One point away from love? So careless?
Xin Jingli almost choked on a piece of meat in his neck.
But with her current appearance and a face value of only 46, would anyone still be attracted to her? And he's a 9-point handsome guy!
It turns out that her brother is so easy to fool. But he doesn’t seem to fall in love with her yet. That’s okay. She doesn’t want to make her brother sad.
Xin Jingli breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Xu Zhanyan.
Xu Zhanyan swallowed, not knowing what was wrong with him. His heartbeat seemed to appear in his palms. He clenched his fists, and his palms were sweating. When she came close, he didn't know what to do.
It was not until Xin Jingli sat back that he secretly relaxed his shoulders.
Xu Zhanyan cleared her throat and said, "Sister, I will definitely return the three million to you. Although I can't pay it back right away, you can give me a deadline. I will definitely not breach the contract."
Xin Jingli picked up a piece of pork ribs and was about to put it in her mouth, but after hearing what he said, she put it back into the bowl.
No wonder he doesn’t eat. Is he worried about this?
"Your major is computer science, right?" Xin Jingli asked.
Xu Zhanyan nodded.
"This way, I don't need you to pay me back in installments, and I don't need a deadline. Just give me a promise. When you use your expertise to earn your first pot of money over three million, I want eighty percent of that money."
Xu Zhanyan frowned.
Is this asking him to write her a blank check?
Let’s not talk about whether he can make three million. Even if he does, 80% is still less than three million. Moreover, three million many years later will not be as valuable as three million now.
What does she want?
"But this seems unfair to you." Xu Zhanyan said.
"Don't worry about this, just do as I say." Xin Jingli didn't take it to heart.
Dongcheng University's Computer Science Department is well-known throughout the country, with successful entrepreneurial examples every year. The founder of a national Internet leader also graduated from Dongcheng University. Three million is nothing to Dongcheng students.
Also, she wanted Xu Zhanyan to feel that she was at a disadvantage, otherwise why would he be willing to work for her?
There is a career value in her data, which is only 1 so far. If she guessed correctly, she must do something big to fill it up.
Instead of working hard to build her career, she decided to let others do it. She enjoyed life while counting money. Perfect.
"Okay." Xu Zhanyan agreed, "I will definitely work hard to earn more than three million."
"Well, I believe you."
Xin Jingli said lightly, but Xu Zhanyan clenched his fists.
During these days when he was in debt, he heard a lot of people saying that his future was ruined and that the future was bleak. He didn't expect that there were still people who believed in him and helped him pay off the debt and use the money to invest in his business. Suddenly, a fire burned in his heart, a fire of ambition to climb up.
"I will definitely not let you down." He said firmly.
"Oh, I know, I know. Let's eat quickly. I'm starving." Xin Jingli smiled helplessly.
The two of them ate for a while before Xu Zhanyan's phone rang. Xin Jingli glanced at the caller ID and felt that it looked familiar.
Xu Zhanyan picked up the phone and answered it.
"Hello, yes, I contacted your Xiaoyan."
"Okay, it's okay, Aunt Xue. I don't need to rent a house anymore. You can give it to them. Okay, okay, thank you."
After a round of greetings, Xu Zhanyan hung up the phone.
Xin Jingli was stunned. "Is this your landlord?"
Xu Zhanyan: "Not really. I saw her phone number on the bulletin board and contacted her. She said someone happened to be moving out and I could go take a look. When I ran into you this afternoon, I was there to look at the house."
"So what did she say to you just now?"
"She said all the houses were rented out, leaving one for me. Now many people have contacted her, asking if I'm still renting it. If I am, she'll keep it for me. Now I don't have to pay it back, and I don't have to move, so I let her give it to someone else to avoid delaying her rent collection."
Xin Jingli was stunned for a second, then chuckled.
It's quite fate.
Besides, Aunt Xue’s house has been rented out, which is great.
I thought that after I was done with my work, I would go back to see her and help the original owner maintain this rare friendship.
After dinner and exchanging contact information, Xu Zhanyan left. Xin Jingli washed up, lay on the bed, and flipped through his phone.
Find the best boxing gym and the best boxers in East City.
Now that she has recovered her spirits, luxury cars, clothes, bags, watches and other things must be put on the agenda. When her net worth increases, she will need a flexible personal bodyguard.
Although the bodyguards provided by the hotel are useful, they cannot always be given to her. Moreover, these bodyguards have special training and are too commercial, which makes them more conspicuous, as if they are afraid that others will not know that she needs protection.
What she needs is someone who can follow her around in plain clothes.
The next day.
In the afternoon, Xin Jingli changed into sportswear and walked out of the suite.
"Ms. Xin." The waiter at the door greeted her.
Xin Jingli nodded, looked at the six bodyguards, and asked, "Who are the two most powerful among you?"
The bodyguards looked at each other, and the two tallest men stood out from the queue. Their muscles were the strongest among them. Their biceps were so strong in the sleeves of their black suits that they seemed ready to explode at any time.
Xin Jingli nodded in satisfaction, "You two come with me."
It takes more than an hour to drive from Song Fanghua to the boxing gym.
Xin Jingli walked in.
There is a boxing match at the boxing gym today. The best boxers in East City will come to participate, and it is already the finals. If the conditions are right, she can just hire the champion.
The arena was filled with noise, and the audience stood by the ring, shouting heart-wrenchingly.
Some of the people who came were there to watch the fun, while others were enthusiastic boxing fans, all of whom were talking and placing bets.
"I'm betting on Zhao Yong from the red team! He's been the champion for several consecutive years. He's got strong muscles and a big head!"
"I'm betting on Qian Zhuang on the blue team! Although he's a newcomer this year, he's been unstoppable throughout this competition! Plus, he's young and in great shape, so he's definitely going to win!"
"Zhao Yong has more competition experience than Qian Zhuang, he's a veteran! He can definitely knock him out!"
"You're overthinking it! Qian Zhuang is agile, smart, and quick to dodge! He throws powerful punches! It's still unclear who will knock out whom!"
"Don't you see Qian Zhuang's mental strength? He was almost stunned in the semi-finals last time, and he only won by luckily knocking out his opponent."
"Don't you see Zhao Yong? He's old, and he relies on those few moves. Young people can easily dodge them. Didn't you see it in the last semi-final? Even a weakling on the opposite side dodged them!"
Fans from both sides blushed, pointed at each other and provoked each other, wishing they could go on the field and fight.
Xin Jingli didn't know who was who, so he just stood aside and watched the fun.
After a while, the boxers stepped onto the ring. The two fighters were short, but had huge muscles, like bullfrog legs. It seemed that normal clothes could not cover their arms.
If I follow her, the target will be too big, which doesn't seem appropriate.
Just as I was thinking about it, the fans in the audience cheered and competed to see who could be louder. Gradually, the emotions became too high to be suppressed and they started quarreling in a few words.
"Who the hell is Qian Zhuang!"
"Zhao Yong is the one who takes advantage of his age. He should retire now!"
"What are you shouting about? Go up and fight me if you dare!"
"Hit me if you want! I'll beat you up first, you lackey!"
…
Once the situation got out of hand, the atmosphere in the audience exploded, fans started fighting with each other, and a bottle flew out and headed straight for Xin Jingli's head.
The incident happened suddenly, and Xin Jingli closed his eyes when he saw that he was about to be hit.
There are two bodyguards protecting us secretly. It's just a bottle, not a big problem.
After waiting for three seconds, the bottle did not fall on her. Xin Jingli opened her eyes and saw a man wearing a black baseball cap standing beside her, lifting a dumbbell in one hand and holding the bottle in the other.
The bodyguard who was supposed to protect her didn't react at all.
The light was dim and Xin Jingli couldn't see his face clearly, but he was tall, wearing a black sleeveless sportswear, and the lines of his muscles were smooth and natural, neither too big nor too small, just the right size.
"Be careful." The man spoke, his voice deep, magnetic and pleasant.
Before he could even take a look at his appearance, someone inside shouted in a very aggressive tone: "Jin Jingfang, what are you doing? Hurry up! Do you want to do it or not?"
The man nodded to her and walked past her inside.
