Chapter 21: Still Need Investment?

"You..."

Li Xiao looked at Lin Biqi and opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat, not knowing how to say them.

The two only knew each other since childhood because of their elders, but he had never felt a shred of romantic love for her, only always treating her as a younger sister.

"Qiqi, listen to me..."

"I won't listen!" Lin Biqi shouted hysterically: "I don't allow you to like others, I don't allow you to be with others, I don't allow, don't allow, don't allow!"

She was like a madwoman, her sharp and ear-piercing roar attracting countless strange gazes, and many people recognized Li Xiao.

"Isn't that Li Xiao? What's the situation?"

"Who is that girl? Crying and shouting at the cafeteria entrance, is there something wrong with her brain?"

"Probably not a serious relationship, no wonder his girlfriend wants to break up with him."

"Are you blind? This woman is far worse than Shen Ci."

The discussion started, and Li Xiao only felt that he had a headache. Shen Ci refused to reconcile with him, and now another Qiqi followed to add to the chaos. If Shen Ci knew about this, she would definitely not forgive him even more.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao deliberately increased his volume and said to Lin Biqi: "I don't need your permission to find a girlfriend! I just like Shen Ci!"

A sentence of loyalty made the onlookers who were secretly watching the fun widen their eyes one after another.

Lin Biqi cried even harder because of this, and roared back without showing weakness: "You just can't!"

Li Xiao was too lazy to deal with her, threw her on the spot, turned around, and left.

It's a pity that Shen Ci didn't see such a wonderful scene.

After she left the school, she took a taxi directly to the Real Estate Trading Center. The sales agent had made an appointment today to transfer the second-hand house.

She thought the other party had fully entrusted the transfer matters to the sales department, but she didn't expect that after arriving at the scene, Shen Ci learned that the owner had come in person.

"Mr. Lu, this is Miss Shen who bought your house."

Once they met, the sales girl that day introduced both parties. Shen Ci saw the name tag on her uniform and knew she had successfully become a regular employee.

Lu Jinzhao was a bit surprised when he saw Shen Ci, looking at her beautiful appearance and youthful, vibrant temperament, which was completely different from the person he had imagined who could buy his house in full.

She looked, very obviously, still a college student.

Shen Ci captured the shock in his eyes, smiled calmly, and reached out: "Hello, Mr. Lu."

"Hello." Lu Jinzhao reached out, gentlemanly only holding Shen Ci's fingertips, and then couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect Miss Shen to be so young."

Although he said so, he was still a bit disappointed in his heart.

Originally, his purpose for coming to handle the transfer in person was to get to know this person who had spent ten thousand yuan to buy his house, thinking that the other party's status and position must be extraordinary, because he learned from the sales agent that this person had spent more than twenty thousand yuan in one go to buy two houses, and it was all in full.

Being able to have such abundant cash flow, it must be a character.

Didn't expect it to be a little girl around twenty years old, so it was estimated that her family had money, and it had nothing to do with this little girl.

The process was operated by the sales agent on behalf of them; the buyer and seller only needed to provide identity proof and sign. While waiting, Shen Ci looked at Lu Jinzhao and asked casually: "I heard that Mr. Lu booked this house a year before the opening, why are you selling it after buying it for less than half a year?"

Lu Jinzhao smiled upon hearing this and explained: "Plans can't keep up with changes. I had my eye on this villa area early on, but the company took a fancy to a project in the second half of the year. This project has great potential, so the company decided to invest heavily, and that's why I reluctantly gave up this house."

Shen Ci nodded. She remembered the sales agent mentioning to her that the original owner's company needed money and intended to sell the house.

And Lu Jinzhao looked at Shen Ci for a long time, and suddenly added: "Does Miss Shen usually read novels?"

This headless and brainless sentence made Shen Ci stunned for a moment, then she nodded: "I read them, I use them to pass the time when I'm bored."

Lu Jinzhao's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Then has Miss Shen read "Tianming Weihuang"? This book is very popular among you young people!"

Tianming Weihuang?

That big heroine web novel? "I know this book." Shen Ci nodded, and then a flash suddenly appeared in her mind, and she blurted out: "Is Mr. Lu's company going to invest in the film and television adaptation of this novel?"

Lu Jinzhao nodded: "Yes, this book has a huge internet trend, and the reader base is also very huge. It is our company's key IP in the second half of the year. It is estimated to invest nearly twenty thousand yuan to create an epic big heroine drama!"

So the other party was the boss of a film and television company.

Twenty thousand yuan was equivalent to two hundred million in the past. This investment amount could definitely be called a super production.

And Shen Ci remembered that after the film and television adaptation of "Tianming Weihuang", it was very successful. Once broadcast, it broke multiple records. The top-tier heroine in the play even topped the list of actresses of the same period because of this play, and every newcomer supporting actor also emerged in the acting world, gaining a batch of national popularity.

Her mind turned, looking at Lu Jinzhao, she raised her lips and smiled: "Mr. Lu, still need investment?"

Lu Jinzhao was obviously stunned: "Miss Shen, you... are you going to invest in our drama?"

As he spoke, his tone was obviously excited.

"Leave a contact method, I will look at this novel carefully later. If I feel it has potential, I will consider it."

Shen Ci didn't say things too full, because she wanted to understand the characters in this novel first, see which one was suitable for her sister, and be able to ensure that she could get this role, so she would decide to invest.

Lu Jinzhao nodded repeatedly and took out his phone: "Miss Shen, I'll scan you."

The company almost exhausted everything for this project. Just competing for the copyright with other companies took a year of time.

If it could succeed, the company would also soar into the sky, and the shortage of funds had always been the biggest obstacle to this project.

The company had been doing investment attraction, and now that the opening was imminent, it was still far from the goal of twenty thousand yuan. So when Shen Ci took the initiative to express her willingness to invest, Lu Jinzhao's excitement was from the bottom of his heart.

"I don't know what Miss Shen's family does." Lu Jinzhao scanned Shen Ci's WeChat and asked along the way.

Shen Ci responded lightly: "Individual investor, my vision is relatively good, so I earned some money."

Hearing that Shen Ci was a professional investor, Lu Jinzhao was obviously startled.

He had been in the business world for so many years, and he had seen no less than eight hundred investors and investment firms. He had also seen those young and promising investment geniuses, but he was seeing someone as young as Shen Ci for the first time.

"Miss Shen, this Friday night, we specially held a cocktail party for the project's investors. Although you haven't decided to invest yet, I still want to invite you to attend, is that okay?"

Asking for monthly tickets!
