Huang Feirong gave Shen Jiuyi a thumbs up.
She was amazed by the woman's train of thought, which could actually keep up with her own mother.
Then,
she turned her head to look at her mother and asked,
"Mom, what exactly is your line of thinking?"
"I feel like what Yaoyao said makes sense."
Huang Feirong and Shen Buyao exchanged a glance, seeing the same blankness in each other's eyes.
What schemes or no schemes?
On the surface, wasn't Sister Hong's current approach just playing the sucker?
The doubts Shen Buyao raised were completely valid!
Getting these two carefree souls to understand would indeed require some explanation.
Thinking that the Huang family only had Huang Feirong as an heir gave Sister Hong a massive headache.
Oh well.
What can you do? She's your own flesh and blood.
What else could be done?
Can't just strangle her, right?
"You two are still too young, lacking any depth or cunning."
"On the surface, it looks like we're losing a lot of money now and suffering some damage to our reputation."
"But if we don't compensate for these few deals, all the reputation we've built up over the years will be completely gone!"
"If you were a buyer who didn't know the inside story, would you still buy from the auction house?"
Sister Hong pointed at Shen Buyao, asking for her opinion.
Shen Buyao nodded and replied,
"Sister Hong, I can understand that point."
"But you can't just keep foolishly losing money to protect your reputation, can you?"
Shen Jiuyi stepped forward again and asked Shen Buyao,
"Do you have any better ideas?"
Shen Buyao was stunned by the question: "..."
Wasn't that a pointless thing to say!
If she had a solution, would they still be here going back and forth?
It was precisely because they didn't that they were standing here!
Shen Buyao said with annoyance,
"If there's no way, we can think of one!"
Huang Feirong pulled Shen Buyao's arm and said awkwardly,
"Although, I don't fully get it either."
"But given the current situation, Yaoyao..."
"If even the two of them can't think of a better way, the two of us definitely don't stand a chance."
Shen Buyao: "..."
Huang Feirong: "..."
These words left Shen Buyao speechless.
Sister Hong remained optimistic, saying,
"Alright now, since when do you two need to worry about me?"
"You make me sound old!"
"It's just a bit of hardship, hardly enough to bring me down!"
"Just wait and see. If we can tough it out, the money we're spending now is all an investment!"
Shen Jiuyi fully agreed with Sister Hong's view and also understood what was needed of her today.
"Sister Hong, regarding funds and the operation of Gui Hang, there must be quite a gap to fill during this period, right?"
"Wu Bao Ge's accounts can still spare some money to help you bridge it for a while."
Sister Hong said, particularly moved,
"Xiao Jiu, you're so chivalrous!"
"Yaoyao used to say you were stingy, and I actually believed her."
"Now it seems she was just spreading rumors."
Shen Jiuyi continued calmly,
"I'm also making a long-term investment, investing in the Huang family's future."
Sister Hong: "..."
Huang Feirong: "What a cold-blooded reply."
Shen Buyao: "I told you her character was questionable, but you wouldn't believe me!"
...
At Fang Xinran's home.
A dozen or so beer cans lay scattered haphazardly on the table.
The movie had played for about an hour, reaching another captivating plot point.
Yanzu, caught up in the moment, shouted "It's you, it's you!"...
While shouting, his hands kept tearing and pulling.
In contrast,
On Fang Xinran's soft bed, Lin Yu's movements seemed much gentler.
Alcohol could indeed bolster courage and make one lose themselves in the moment.
At this point, Fang Xinran,
after an hour of drinking together,
had long shed her initial nervousness, her actions even bolder than Lin Yu's.
The opening moves, usually initiated by Lin Yu, were now completely reversed.
Senior sister Fang before and after drinking were like two different people.
Leaving Lin Yu utterly unprepared!
"Xinran, this dress doesn't have buttons, no need to pick at it there!"
"Ah..."
"Maybe don't press down, lift up a bit? I can do it!"
"Okay, okay, you do it, you do it, don't rush!"
"..."
"This is a nightgown, are you trying to pull it off like a T-shirt? Are you drunk?"
"It's not that I have to pull it off, it's a dress..."
"..."
Fang Xinran's unrestrained, slightly reckless behavior actually made Lin Yu nervous instead.
He didn't know why she was in such a frantic hurry.
Was someone rushing to grab eggs behind her?
Or was the room about to be checked out?
It's not a short-stay hotel!
No need to make the atmosphere so intense; no one was pushing them.
Lin Yu was originally an ambitious, driven young man who kept pushing others.
But compared to the hardworking senior sister Fang, he could only lie back and be outdone, unable to get a hand in.
At this moment,
Lin Yu truly empathized with Chu Chu facing Jian Chen in "The Storm Riders".
Too terrifying!
This perspective was genuinely a bit frightening.
It was hard to imagine what scenes were playing in senior sister Fang's mind just moments ago while they were drinking at the table.
Knowing she was leaving Pingchuan and might not easily return,
so she had completely let go, not caring at all anymore, right?
When women go wild, men really can't handle it.
...
Half an hour later.
Apart from lying down at the beginning, Lin Yu had hardly made any other moves.
For the rest of the time, everything was autonomously completed by Fang Xinran.
Clearly having no prior experience, with initial ideas that were absurdly shocking.
But...
you couldn't deny she was really eager to learn!
With just a little guidance from Lin Yu, Fang Xinran could quickly grasp and master the techniques.
"Phew..."
Fang Xinran lay beside Lin Yu, letting out a warm breath.
Lin Yu looked at her profile and couldn't help saying,
"What's up? Having a post-coital cigarette?"
Fang Xinran was immediately amused by Lin Yu.
"Hahaha, I was just wondering what time it is now?"
"Has it been like four or five hours?"
Lin Yu answered honestly,
"Not that long, you're overthinking it, and thank you for the high regard."
As he spoke,
Lin Yu pulled Fang Xinran into his arms.
"If you can still hold on, continuing for another four or five hours wouldn't be a problem either."
Fang Xinran extended a finger, drawing circles on Lin Yu's arm, and said,
"Really can't. I often don't place in school sports meets."
Lin Yu: "..."
So she took all the physically demanding tasks upon herself, huh?
Lin Yu was, after all, a man with plenty of stamina!
"Xinran, don't always be the giving type."
"Try receiving sometimes too. It might be better if you don't work so hard."
Lin Yu offered his advice.
Fang Xinran looked at Lin Yu in confusion:
"What do you mean?"
Lin Yu moved closer, saying,
"People teaching people doesn't always work; learning through experience is what really teaches!"

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System."
