Chapter 1407: How Much Money



Zhang Caixin was so angry that she stomped her feet. "Hurry back, I'll cover your airfare. If you don't come back, we're done. You have no idea whose hands I snatched this spot from to help you!"

Liang Siyu was genuinely a bit troubled. "It's not about the money. I'm already here and was planning to buy a batch of clothes."

Zhang Caixin let out another burst of anger and felt a bit regretful as well. Luohua's secrecy policy was definitely a bit too strict.

Actually, Feng Jun's requirements weren't much—just don't say what shouldn't be said.

But from top to bottom, once you consider, there were so many things in Luohua that shouldn't be talked about, even the fact that Yu Laolai wasn't leaving Luohua was extremely confidential—even though he had stayed for more than a year.

Liang Siyu was eager to leave the airport, especially since she had friends nearby, so she said, "You should at least wait for me to buy the ticket after leaving the airport," then hung up the phone.

After she hung up, her best friend asked what was going on, so she recounted her story of paying for a job position like it was a joke. "... Cai Xin is a good person; I trust her, but not even letting me have fun and making me come back is too overbearing."

Her best friend blinked incredulously and asked, "Fifty thousand a month to manage for someone else?"

Liang Siyu felt a bit embarrassed. Cai Xin had also instructed her to keep it a secret, so she gave a sheepish smile, "She said they could treat my little pimples there. Spending a little money doesn't matter, right?"

Her liver was a bit too fiery, so whenever she ate spicy food, pimples would pop up on her face, which was quite cruel.

At this point, her best friend's boyfriend spoke up, "Treatment... Xiao Liang, are you talking about Luohua in Zhengyang?"

"Yes," Liang Siyu turned her head to look at him, "You know about it too?"

"I know it very well," the man looked at her, hesitated a moment and said, "Cured my uncle's cancer. I can't say much else, but it's ridiculously expensive and incredibly prestigious. If it's that place, I'd suggest you go back now."

"Cured cancer?" His girlfriend blinked, "He dares to say they cured cancer? Just a coincidence, right?"

"Not a coincidence," the man shook his head, stopped short of explaining more, "Bulk treatment... just too expensive."

"So what?" Her best friend, after being surprised, started to complain again. She didn't lack money either, "Finally got out for a trip..."

"Don't make a fuss," her boyfriend patted her shoulder, "If you can truly enter Luohua, going back immediately is worth it. By the way, Xiao Liang, did they say what you'd be responsible for?"

"They didn't say," Liang Siyu shook her head, thought for a while and then replied, "Maybe... external business liaison?"

"That really sounds like a good role," the man replied with a smile, "Luohua certainly isn't short on business, so... it's others seeking you. Your best friend did a good job; better to go back."

"But..." Liang Siyu hesitated again, wanting to say more, but Zhang Caixin called again.

She had no choice but to turn around and buy a flight ticket back home, "What did I come here for in the first place..."

The plane landed at the airport, and just as she was about to leave the airport, her mobile phone rang again. It turned out Zhang Caixin had already helped her buy a train ticket to Zhengyang and said she would be there to pick her up at the Zhengyang train station.

At this point, Liang Siyu felt something was off—calling me back in such a hurry, what's going on?

Dragging her two huge suitcases, she got on the train and continued calling, Zhang Caixin told her coming late would mean losing the spot, which made her feel even more puzzled: could it be that Little Heart had joined a pyramid scheme during the past year?

She couldn't resist going online to search for "Luohua," only to find it was either refractories or import-export companies, and even a novel, she flipped through over a dozen pages and only found two pieces of news on Zhengyang's Luohua, one cursing Luohua as black-hearted, and one praising their high level of cancer treatment.

After getting off the train and meeting Zhang Caixin again, she found her best friend as beautiful as ever, with an added noble and ethereal temperament, which put her mind at ease, Little Heart hadn't changed.

Zhang Caixin helped her drag her suitcase to the parking lot. She opened the back of the SUV and easily stuffed the two large suitcases inside, then smiled and said, "Let's chat on the way."

Liang Siyu was a bit stunned, "Little Heart, when did you get so strong?"

"That's why I wanted you at Luohua," Zhang Caixin said while driving, "I've been cultivating at Luohua. Now I can't be bothered with the estate matters, so I'm finding someone to help me manage it."

"Wait," Liang Siyu interrupted her, best friends after all, nothing shouldn't be said, "What do you mean by helping you manage it? Luohua doesn't seem to belong to you?"

"I'm the second in command at the estate," Zhang Caixin replied without hesitation, "The boss is busy with cultivation, pretty much doesn't manage the place."

Liang Siyu thought about it, "So you're saying I pay fifty thousand a month to be the third in command at Luohua?"

Being under her best friend wasn't shameful; with both the first and second in command not managing, the third should have some power.

"Well, you're not the third," Zhang Caixin paused, calculated a bit, and then said seriously, "You'd be... joint twelfth."

"What?" Liang Siyu's mouth dropped open in astonishment, "Little Heart, you brought me back from Paris, made me pay, and I'm the twelfth... joint?"

"Hmm," Zhang Caixin nodded, "the eleven people before were all busy with cultivation, so they hired three people to manage the estate affairs."

"Let me get this straight," Liang Siyu was genuinely surprised. Is this a pyramid scheme or brainwashing? After thinking for a moment, she cautiously asked, "This cultivation you're talking about, what's that all about?"

"I can't explain it to you directly," Zhang Caixin replied solemnly, "Once you go to the estate, observe and think more, you'll slowly get it. If you perform well, you might have a chance too."

"I might... have a chance?" Liang Siyu was even more astonished. However, she was relieved that it seemed they weren't forcing people to cultivate, meaning it's less likely to be a pyramid scheme, but rather a higher chance of being brainwashing.

Zhang Caixin glanced at her and chuckled, "Do you know how much the opportunity I got for you is worth? Someone made an offer, it's Elder Yu's granddaughter, the one from our Funiu. Guess how much she's willing to pay?"

"Elder Yu's granddaughter?" Liang Siyu hadn't heard of others but knew Elder Yu, "Aren't you afraid Elder Yu will give you trouble?"

"He's in the estate too," Zhang Caixin didn't consider it leaking information, Little Liang would see the old man once she went to the estate, "He's been stuck at Luohua for over a year, refusing to leave."

Liang Siyu's mouth opened in amazement again, "Are you saying... he's at Luohua?"

"Yes, you'll see him soon. Just search for his photos, and you'll know if I'm telling the truth," Zhang Caixin answered casually, "Guess how much they're offering?"

"How much..." Liang Siyu thought for a moment and guessed tentatively, "Ten million?"

The eavesdropping Beauty Lin couldn't take it anymore, "Ten million... What are you thinking? We'd be willing to pay with two additional zeros!"

Zhang Caixin smiled indifferently, "Less, guess again."

"I'm not guessing anymore," Liang Siyu decisively gave up, "Just tell me directly."

"Five hundred million," Zhang Caixin's expression was calm, as if she was saying fifty dollars, "Plus a favor from the Yu Family."

"Oh my, if I had known, I would've sold the slot. That's five hundred million," Liang Siyu screamed. Her family was considered wealthy, with seven to eight properties and two commercial spots in the Magic City, totaling over a hundred million, with total assets just over two hundred million.

Of course, she was joking and wouldn't be so crazy as to actually want to sell this thing, "But I guess I couldn't sell it anyway, right? You mean, if I don't hurry back..."

"The opportunity might be taken by someone else," Zhang Caixin answered calmly, "I might also be laughed at by others."

"Who's laughing at you?" Liang Siyu frowned, feeling indignant, "I'll jot them down in my little notebook!"

"No need to remember," Zhang Caixin shook her head, experiencing a slight swell of pride but not showing strong bias, "Good things are always contested. Anyway, I've secured the opportunity for you, whether you can seize it depends on you."

Although she said this, she had already made up her mind that whether others could persist for five years to obtain the cultivation technique or not, Little Liang would have to, otherwise just her face would be tarnished.

Liang Siyu hesitated for a bit before finally summoning the courage to ask, "Caixin, have you been brainwashed by your boss?"

Zhang Caixin gave her a sideways glance, slowed down the car, and then pulled it over to the side, "Watch closely."

The next moment, a set of high-end cosmetics suddenly appeared in her hand, all in very large packaging boxes, the size of a twenty-inch rolling suitcase.

She then dumped the cosmetics onto Liang Siyu and continued driving, "Calling you back from Paris on short notice, I'm giving you this set of cosmetics as an apology."

Liang Siyu's mouth hung open for a good minute before she cautiously asked, "Magic trick?"

Zhang Caixin smiled, "Think whatever you like. I've already told you to observe for yourself, such things can't be explained directly... Plus, there's someone eavesdropping, which is quite annoying."

The eavesdropping Beauty Lin pouted, "Tsk, probably using a Storage Talisman to trick people again."

Liang Siyu paused again, "Someone's eavesdropping? Is someone trying to harm you?"

"Not really harming," Zhang Caixin answered casually, "It's the regular troops. With methods like these, it's understandable they want to keep an eye on us?"

Liang Siyu didn't speak until two columns appeared by the roadside ahead, Zhang Caixin's words broke the silence in the car, "See those two columns? Behind them, it's all Luohua's land."

Liang Siyu finally came back to her senses, glanced around, and subconsciously remarked, "A bit desolate."

"It used to be very desolate, but it won't be anymore in the future," Zhang Caixin drove for another two minutes before pointing ahead, "See those buildings? Luohua's Cancer Care Center... It's actually for treatment, but without medical practice qualifications, it can only be a care center."

Liang Siyu finally remembered what her best friend's boyfriend said, "This... I've heard it's quite expensive?"

"Five million per person, it's already gone down quite a bit," Zhang Caixin casually replied, "It used to be a hundred million per person."
