Chapter 44: This Round, Let's Fleece!

Chapter 44: This Round, Let's Fleece!

Nanhuan rubbed her tired eyes as she waited for the new case.

She really wanted to sleep. If it weren't for the fact that Yang, who had been her fan for over a year and introduced her to this business, she wouldn't have bothered staying awake.

Looking at his expression, it seemed that the previous "G" case had been a test of her capabilities. The upcoming cases should be the real deal.

And the real deal was good. After all, she had been handling cases that paid only a few hundred thousand or a million. When would she get a chance to earn a billion?

Finally, the document she had been waiting for arrived. Nanhuan opened it and quickly skimmed through the pages.

Hmm, this case was intriguing.

It managed to wake her up from her drowsiness!

Nanhuan sat up, holding her phone with great attention. After reading it, she couldn't help but smile.

She was alert now and was about to type "accepted" when she hesitated.

Clearly, the person on the other side was a big cash cow, a really big one. She had to fleece them properly.

Thinking about this, a wicked grin appeared on Nanhuan's face, like that of a pervert seeing a beautiful woman about to fall.

After considering for a moment, she typed out a line.

Phoenix Heaven: This case is not simple.

On the other side of the chat, the three people were not surprised by her response. Of course, it wasn't simple. All the top tech experts in the country had been consulted, including Rongshi's Fifth Master himself. If it were simple, they wouldn't be in this situation.

Yang: Yes, the Great God is right.

Yang Bo unconditionally agreed with everything Phoenix Heaven said.

Xi Guangyao muttered in annoyance, "She doesn't think the money is enough."

Rongshi's Fifth Master was intrigued by this person's attitude. "Ask her how long she needs to complete it."

Yang Bo immediately typed.

Yang: Great God, our boss wants to know how long it will take you to finish this case.

Phoenix Heaven: If I have to...

Phoenix Heaven: Ten days should be enough.

Phoenix Heaven: The case is complex, and I'm busy lately.

The three people stared at the computer screen. It was clear that she didn't mean she couldn't do it; she just didn't want to. She wanted more money.

Xi Guangyao asked, "What does she mean by 'not simple' and 'doesn't want to do it'?"

Yang Bo, ever the eager beaver, quickly replied, "Great God thinks the payment is too low."

Rongshi's Fifth Master raised an eyebrow, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes. "Ask her how much she wants."

"Alright!"

If they could help the Great God get more money, Yang Bo was thrilled.

Yang: Great God, how much do you want?

It didn't take long for a response to come from Phoenix Heaven, causing a stir among the three men.

Phoenix Heaven: Five hundred million.

Xi Guangyao grumbled, "Why doesn't she just go rob a bank?"

Phoenix Heaven: This case is beyond anyone's ability except mine.

Phoenix Heaven: I'm short on funds, so I took on some online tasks.

Phoenix Heaven: If you don't agree, I'll log off.

Yang: Wait, Great God!

Rongshi's Fifth Master, Xi Guangyao, and Yang Bo all exchanged glances.

It was clear that the Great God was asking for more money. Xi Guangyao questioned Yang Bo, "Is she really worth it? Can she finish it within ten days?"

Yang Bo hesitated for a moment and then replied, "Our boss agrees, but he has a condition."

Phoenix Heaven: Go on.

Yang: According to the rules of the tech network, a case like this usually requires a 30% deposit upfront. However, five hundred million is indeed quite high. Our boss's suggestion is that we won't pay a deposit. Instead, we'll transfer the entire five hundred million to the platform. After ten days, once we've verified that the case is complete without any issues, we'll release the full payment.

Phoenix Heaven: That's acceptable.

Rongshi's Fifth Master, Xi Guangyao, and Yang Bo stared at the screen in astonishment.

She didn't even care about the deposit? It seemed that the Great God had a lot of confidence.

Xi Guangyao teased, "I told you, she's really confident. You should just become her underling."

Yang Bo rubbed his nose and said, "You don't know how many dedicated fans the Great God has. If she wants me, I'll go."

Xi Guangyao shook his head in disbelief. "You little traitor."

Rongshi's Fifth Master looked at the grayed-out "HUANGTIAN" profile picture on the screen and smiled. "If she can really solve it within ten days, then five hundred million is worth it."

Nanhuan, who had logged off, was still lying in bed, feeling excited.

Five hundred million! This was it!

Once she got her hands on this money, she would have capital. She could then find a reliable person on the platform to help her manage this five hundred million. She would follow Rongshi's Fifth Master in making investments.

When she was younger, she had studied investment and even tried her hand at it. She had carefully researched the companies she wanted to invest in. However, every company she invested in ended up going bankrupt.

She had come to realize that she wasn't cut out to be an investor. She was someone who had to earn money with her own two hands.

But she did know one thing—she could spot a good investor when she saw one. Rongshi's Fifth Master had a good track record and was excellent at business.

So, she would follow Rongshi's Fifth Master and make some money along the way. Let this five hundred million take root and grow under his guidance.

She wouldn't have to use her brain too much, and she wouldn't get tired. It sounded perfect.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning when she finished this chat.

Nanhuan pulled the blanket over her head, buried her face in the pillow, and fell asleep.

The next morning, the master of the grapevine estate, Rongshi's Fifth Master, and the new young lady slept in late.

Rongshi's Fifth Master woke up at nine, still looking a bit groggy. His eyes were shaded with dark circles, indicating that he hadn't slept well, as was often the case.

The young lady, on the other hand, managed to sleep until ten.

When Nanhuan got up and headed out of her room, the housekeeper, Mrs. Tian, greeted her warmly.

"Miss, Mr. Rong has been waiting for you to have breakfast."

"Breakfast... It's almost noon, and he's still waiting for me?" Nanhuan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Mr. Rong cares about you a lot and has been waiting for you," Mrs. Tian said with a smile. "Shall I take you to the dining room?"

Nanhuan

 thought to herself that this man doted on his white moonlight so much that even his stand-in was treated well. She nodded and said, "Yes, please."

This man cherished his white moonlight so much that even his stand-in was treated well.

Mrs. Tian chatted as she led Nanhuan to the dining room. "We've prepared youtiao (Chinese fried dough sticks) and ciba (rice cakes) for breakfast. Do you like them, Miss?"

"Yes, I like them," Nanhuan replied with a smile, her mind already on the five hundred million she was about to earn. She was in a very good mood. "I'm not a picky eater."

When Nanhuan entered the living room, Rongshi's Fifth Master had already put down his phone. His injured arm was in a cast and hung around his neck, and there was still a hint of dishevelment about him, making him look somewhat pitiful.

"Finally up," Rongshi's Fifth Master said when he saw Nanhuan. The irritability in his eyes disappeared instantly. "Come over here, little brat. I'll take you to breakfast."

End of Chapter 44.
