Chapter 296: Urban Card Drawing System (2)

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The bedroom door was knocked, and Feng Xuanxuan's urging voice came through:

"Yang Yang! Haven't you finished changing yet? It's getting late!"

Xie Yang ignored her, choosing to use her novice points to redeem a rare card, then randomly drew one from the card pool floating with twelve rare cards.

【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn the rare card—Good Luck Continuous.】

How was it not the "Bad Luck Strikes" that Feng Xuanxuan drew in the original fate board?

Xie Yang raised her eyebrows in surprise. Originally, she had kept Feng Xuanxuan around to give her a taste of her own medicine by using a bad luck card on her for the original owner. She hadn't expected that changing the person drawing the card would result in a different outcome?

The bad luck card had turned into a good luck card; how could she possibly still give it to Feng Xuanxuan to use?

Xie Yang rubbed her chin, weighing the options between herself and her father, and finally decided to give it to her father.

Comrade Lao Xie had worked hard raising the original owner as both a father and a mother.

Giving him a good luck card would let him have some fun.

Selecting the card's target—Xie Qidong, and clicking to use.

The operation complete, the selected card instantly atomized, turning into specks of light that quickly dissipated into the vast, deep blue sea of stars.

"Yang Yang! Yang Yang! Aren't you ready yet?"

Feng Xuanxuan was growing impatient.

If it weren't for the dream she had last night about the ink-purple pendant Xie Yang had worn since childhood—a pendant that emitted a glowing blue light in the dream, mysterious and unlike any mortal object—she wouldn't be happy about coming over early in the morning to coax this airhead.

What a stingy thing! It was just a pendant; she had hinted so many times, yet never saw her agree to give it to her. How annoying!

"What's with the rushing!" Xie Yang pulled open the door with a straight face. "Disturbing someone's sleep early in the morning is one thing, but you keep rushing me while I'm changing clothes. Are you annoying or what? Forget it, I suddenly don't want to go out! It's just a bag, isn't it? I have so many pretty bags, I'm not missing that one."

Feng Xuanxuan: "..."

Xie Yang had always been enthusiastic toward her, and coming to her house was no different than returning to her own; seeing her suddenly become so cold and distant made it truly hard for Feng Xuanxuan to accept.

Just as she wanted to say something, the next second, she saw that what Xie Yang was wearing around her neck was a round, plump, natural deep-sea black pearl, and she felt terrible.

"Where is your pendant?" Feng Xuanxuan's voice suddenly spiked. "Where is the ink-purple pendant you always wear?"

"Why are you being so loud?" Xie Yang yawned lazily and walked past Feng Xuanxuan toward the stairs. "It's just a pendant, isn't it? I'll wear whichever one I want."

"But..."

Feng Xuanxuan exhausted her eloquence, failing to persuade Xie Yang to go shopping for bags or to coax her into giving away the pendant she was tired of wearing, and left in a huff:

"I ran over here to tell you the moment I got the news, and this is how you treat me? You never really considered me a good friend, did you? It was a waste of time being so good to you before!"

After saying this, she left in a rage.

She swore in her heart: if Xie Yang didn't give her that pendant as an apology, she would never come to the Xie Family again!

Xie Yang wished she wouldn't!

Once Feng Xuanxuan left, Xie Yang felt the air in the Xie Family garden become much fresher.

This villa of the Xie Family had some years on it; it was bought by her father when he proposed to her mother after earning his first pot of gold.

At the time, there were no other developments in this area, and the surroundings of the villa district were still vegetable plots; her father chose it because the total price was low.

Now, it had become a new city center with glass-curtain CBDs everywhere—a place of prime land and excellent environment, where property prices had risen to a height where there was a market price but no supply.

Since her mother passed away, her father had invested more in his work, partly to provide a better life for his daughter and partly out of fear of feeling sad if he were idle and thought of his late wife. His business territory expanded accordingly, especially since the original owner entered high school; not only did Xie Family Home Furnishings go public, but her father also successively purchased properties in prime locations in various cities.

It was just that he couldn't bear to part with the beautiful memories of the family of three left here while her mother was alive, so apart from redecorating every five years and discarding some old appliances, the father and daughter never had the thought of moving.

In the late spring of Jiangcheng, the morning was neither cold nor hot. Xie Yang had a bodyguard lady move a lounge chair into the garden, and while drinking freshly squeezed juice and listening to music on her phone, she lazily gazed at the rows of office buildings in the distance.

The Xie Family's company was among them, and it was the tallest one.

At night, when the glass-curtain billboards lit up, one could even clearly see the iconic logo of Xie Family Home Furnishings.

Her father started with home furnishings, but his first pot of gold was earned from the stock market; he caught two bull markets in a row, then withdrew from the stock market to invest in factories and engage in real industry.

It was good luck, really—those years were a period of rapid development for the real estate industry, and the fields of decoration, furnishing, furniture, and home textiles were particularly marketable.

When whole-house customization first became popular, her father, who had a background in design, used his forward-looking vision to make the ahead-of-its-time Xie Family Home Furnishings quickly stand out and establish a firm foothold in the industry, eating meat and drinking soup along with the booming real estate industry.

It wasn't until recent years, when the real estate industry fell into a slump, that the home furnishing industry also went downhill.

Comrade Lao Xie seemed to be worrying about the company's future lately...

Gazing at her family's company building, Xie Yang remembered the "Good Luck Continuous" card she had used on her father an hour ago, wondering if it had helped him.

It should have had an effect, right? That was a rare-grade good luck card!

Judging by the fact that the rare-grade bad luck card Feng Xuanxuan drew in the original world focused on leaking wealth, the effect of the rare-grade good luck card she drew this time would likely manifest in financial luck as well, right?

The facts were indeed as she had guessed—

Xie Qidong had just successfully negotiated a partnership at a dinner, meaning the Xie Family was officially entering the smart home field and opening up a new market.

He was truly happy!

He hadn't held much hope for this negotiation before coming; although he had confidence in his own products, he was still a layman in the smart field, not even as good as the Feng Family, who had switched from the home textile industry halfway through.

He heard that the Feng Family had two nephews who had studied smart home design and engineering in university and had been interning at the company before they even graduated, and the ideas they came up with were very novel.

In contrast, his own company, despite establishing a new department for smart home research last year, had results that were not satisfactory; it seemed linked to "smart," but in reality, it was still somewhat old-fashioned. Even he wasn't satisfied, let alone the ever-changing market.

However, unexpectedly, in a business dinner he held no hope for, he didn't even try to flatter or humble himself to toast and drink; instead, he relaxed, leaning back in his chair, eating and drinking as he pleased, speaking freely as if it were a tea party. As they talked, they actually reached a consensus on a partnership intention with GD Technology Company regarding smart homes.

Xie Qidong was so happy that he transferred a six-figure allowance to his daughter.

"Daughter, Dad just closed a big deal! Hahahahaha!"

Receiving the voice message from her father and seeing the deposit notification pop up on her bank account, Xie Yang, who had received an unexpected small fortune less than two hours after transmigrating, was: "..."

Using the Good Luck Continuous card on Comrade Lao Xie could even benefit her?

Not bad, not bad, truly not bad!
