Chapter 306: Urban Card Drawing System (12)

Xie Yang looked toward the voice and smiled slightly: "Your family is the one that went bankrupt!"

The other party choked: "Since you didn't go bankrupt, why are you dressed like this? If you're out of money, just say so; I'll lend you some."

The smile at the corners of Xie Yang's mouth deepened: "Alright! How much can you lend me?"

"……"

Seeing the friend who had just made the sarcastic remark get choked up by Xie Yang's retort, Xue Ling hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over:

"Xie Yang, she was just joking with you. Who doesn't know you're the one least short of money among us? Come on, come on, Qiqi saved us a Presidential Private Room, and I even brought a collector's edition red wine that my brother won at an auction from a French vineyard. You should taste it and see how it differs from what we usually drink."

The pained expression on Xue Ling's face was not faked; this bottle of red wine was truly not cheap, or else the vineyard wouldn't have put it up for auction.

Xie Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.

This scene wasn't in the original plot.

After all, the friendship between Xue Ling and the original body wasn't good enough to warrant treating her to collector's edition red wine for free.

On second thought: Oh, in the original world, Feng Xuanxuan had used a Bad Luck Card on the original body, who by this time had already lost 46 million in the stock market and had also bought that global limited-edition bag, so the spare cash she had on hand for investments was at most one or two million—hardly enough to be worthy of the expensive red wine Xue Ling brought.

It seems that today, Xue Ling has marked her as prey.

She asked with a smile: "Really? I've never tasted red wine that has been on an auction block before. Shall we find a place to savor it?"

Xue Ling: "……"

You want to drink wine before even investing money? In your dreams!

"Well, Qiqi has prepared quite a bit of food, let's eat and chat. Wine is meant to liven things up, so of course it should be saved for last."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yang smiled without a word.

Arriving at the private room, she was still admiring the unique luxury decor of the Presidential Private Room when Xue Ling impatiently took out her phone:

"Xie Yang, I recently found a great channel for making money grow. I was reluctant to share it with anyone, but you guys are my good sisters! Look, it's this investment platform. I've test-invested for two periods, and the returns are really impressive. You have much more spare cash than I do, so your money will grow even faster."

As she spoke, she opened an investment app on her phone and demonstrated it to Xie Yang:

"Tianqiong Wealth Management, the highest returns in the country! I put two months of my allowance in earlier, and I earned 150,000 in one month!"

Feng Xuanxuan walked over, and upon hearing this, she looked surprised: "I remember your two months of allowance is 500,000, right? 500,000 earns 150,000 in one month? The returns are that high? Is it for real?"

"Why would I lie to you! Haven't I already tried it? My cousin-in-law said the boss of this investment platform has a net worth in the trillions and isn't short on money at all; it's just that a 100-billion project he was preparing had shareholders pull out at the last minute, so he opened this platform to raise funds so as not to affect the project's scheduled launch."

As Xue Ling spoke, she glanced at Xie Yang, intentionally trying to stir up Xie Yang's competitive spirit:

"If we buy in now, we're basically shareholders in this 100-billion mega-project! And it's not something just anyone can buy; you must have an invitation code, otherwise, you need strict capital verification procedures. If you guys need one, I can pass the invitation code to you."

"Yang Yang, did you hear that?" Feng Xuanxuan said with an excited face, "Xue Ling put 500,000 in and earned 150,000 in a month. It's a pity my allowance is too small, but you're different. Your allowance is even more than Xue Ling's, and you have dividends and rent. If you put in 5 million, you could earn 1.5 million a month; put in 10 million, you could earn 3 million; put in 20 million, you could earn 6 million... Your dad would be thrilled if he knew!"

As soon as Feng Xuanxuan arrived, Xie Yang lost interest.

She had originally intended to mooch a glass of auction-grade red wine before leaving, but facing two people plotting against her wallet, she couldn't even be bothered to put on a show of compliance.

She stood up neatly and turned to look for Chen Jiani.

"Xie Yang……"

Feng Xuanxuan hurriedly stood up to follow, but was stopped by a look from Xue Ling, who mouthed: Don't rush, find the others first.

Fat sheep, after all, should be saved for the final slaughter.

……

"Yang Yang!" Chen Jiani had just come out of the restroom. Seeing Xie Yang from afar, she waved her hand slightly and trotted over, "I haven't seen you lately; I thought you wouldn't come today."

Xie Yang said with a smile: "I didn't plan on coming, but then I thought you might be here, so I came."

"Really?" Chen Jiani's eyes brightened suddenly, and her chubby cheeks showed a shy blush, "I just went to the restroom. By the way, I heard a lot of people in front of the restroom talking about an investment platform; it's really profitable! Should we try it? I got an invitation code; I heard Xue Ling passed it to them."

"……"

Xie Yang suspected that Xue Ling was a shill for this fraudulent investment platform; if she wasn't, then her cousin-in-law was.

Otherwise, why would she be so hardworking in promoting it for others?

And what's with the invitation code? If you don't have one, you need capital verification—plainly speaking, it's specifically designed to scam the rich.

If someone without money wants to enter this platform to earn some interest, they wouldn't even be allowed in.

This mastermind behind the scenes is interesting; they only take money from the rich, and specifically focus on the circle of wealthy women. Her father and Uncle Song had never heard of this "Tianqiong Wealth Management."

However, Xie Yang guessed that the other party probably didn't have a conscience; it was highly likely they wanted to quietly collect money and make a quick getaway.

After all, it's hard to wrap things up if too many people know.

If it's limited to the circle of wealthy women, the money they use for investments is rarely money they earned themselves, so they don't feel as much heartache if they lose it.

Furthermore, wealthy women care about face; if they lose money, they don't dare to make a scene, otherwise, being ridiculed by their husbands for not understanding finance or mocked by plastic friends for being sore losers would be even more depressing to them than losing the money, so naturally, they wouldn't blow it out of proportion.

Xie Yang rubbed her chin, pondering what way there might be to get the innocent victims to withdraw their funds before it imploded.

But right now, this platform was being hyped up in the circle of wealthy women, and even if she exposed it, she was afraid few would believe her. They might even think she was making trouble out of nothing and interfering with everyone's money-making.

【Congratulations to the Host for checking in for 30 consecutive days. Reward: one card draw opportunity from the common card pool.】

The Card Drawing System spoke up suddenly.

Xie Yang distracted herself to log into the Card Drawing System and saw that she had accumulated 175 points and checked in 45 times in total. Oh, she had forgotten to check in once in the middle, which broke the streak.

So now there were two card draw opportunities: one common card gifted by the system, and one rare card that could be redeemed for 100 points.

【Draw card!】

She said in her heart, hoping to draw something useful for the current situation.

First, draw the common card gifted by the system.

The background of the cards in the pool turned into a beautiful sky blue.

Xie Yang drew one from it.

【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a common card—Seven-Day Inedia.】

"……"

Seven-Day Inedia?

Does that mean being able to jump around energetically even after seven days without eating or drinking?

What's the use of that!

Once again, it proves: a common card is just a chicken rib!

Xie Yang rubbed her hands together and proceeded to draw a rare card.

She chanted silently in her heart: Draw a useful one! A useful one! A useful one!

【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn a rare card—Devil Fruit.】

"???"

Devil Fruit?

What is this?

After reading the card description, it turned out to be a type of wish power.

Designate a target for the card and make a wish, and you can borrow the devil's power to realize this wish, but it can only be realized once.

Xie Yang curled the corners of her mouth: This card has come at such a timely moment!
