… 

All in all, Ji Fanyin thought that her break hadn’t been too bad. 

She managed to get ample rest while easily earning a hefty sum of money.

Li Xiaoxing hadn’t called her ever since Christmas Day, which suggested that he was starting to become independent. He no longer needed to constantly refer to ‘Walkthrough Guide’ Ji Fanyin for his every move. 

Ji Xinxin also hadn’t harassed her ever since then. 

Of course, it was likely that Ji Xinxin was pulling something from the shadows, but honestly speaking, Ji Fanyin couldn’t care less.

After all, she was an emotionless money-making machine with no scruples. What could the latter possibly do to her?

Sully her reputation? 

Ji Fanyin was only interested in the money. Any scorn or love from her family members couldn’t hope to faze her in the least. 

Tighten her rein on her fishes? 

Unless Ji Xinxin was able to make multiple clones of herself, there were bound to be people who would be dissatisfied with whatever limited time and energy she had to offer. 

Ruin her current stand-in business?

That was easier said than done.

No matter how rich and well-connected Song Shiyu, Bai Zhou, Cen Xiangyang, and Li Xiaoxing were, they didn’t have the power to interfere in her business. 

Even if Ji Xinxin somehow managed to ruin Ji Fanyin’s business as a stand-in, she could simply redirect her time and effort into developing her studio. It was only a matter of time before she raised ten billion anyway.

The day before Ji Xinxin returned to France, Ji Fanyin took out her phone and checked on her reservation app. It was already the last day of her two weeks break, meaning that she would be resuming operations tomorrow.

So far, she didn’t have any work lined up. No one had made a reservation yet. 

A person who had taken a long break would be inclined to continue lazing around, and Ji Fanyin was no exception to the rule.

It was then that the number of concurrently online users reflected on the app’s admin portal suddenly increased from 0 to 1. 

This meant that a client had just accessed the app, and Ji Fanyin only had three clients.

Out of curiosity, she chose to wait patiently on the admin portal to see who was going to make a reservation. 

But several seconds later, the number of online users dropped back to 0.

I guess I’m taking a break tomorrow.

A second later, the number increased to 1 yet again. The number then continued to alternate between 0 and 1 several times nonstop. 

Ji Fanyin: “…”

Yup, it’s Bai Zhou.

The way he kept accessing the app but refused to make a reservation felt like a nervous husband pacing outside the labor room, frequently peeking into the labor room but not daring to enter.

Ji Fanyin was able to quickly figure out what was behind his peculiar behavior.

Ji Xinxin has a good grasp over the fishes in her fishery. She also knows that Bai Zhou is the easiest one to handle. All she has to do is to order him to not meet me privately anymore. 

Oh well, who cares? He can refresh the app for all he wants.

Ji Fanyin was just about to close the admin portal when she noticed that all fifteen blocks for her schedule tomorrow had changed from white to green. It meant that someone was in the midst of confirming his reservation.

Ji Fanyin quickly checked the number of concurrent online users and saw that the number had increased to 2.

Shortly after, Song Shiyu’s reservation request appeared on the admin portal. There was no message appended to it, just a simple 1,500,000 dollar reservation.

She received a message from the bank informing her about the money transfer of 1,500,000 dollars right after. 

Ji Fanyin stared at the request with lifted eyebrows before confirming the request.

Song Shiyu came earlier than I thought. It must be because he has plenty of money to burn. 

At the same time, Bai Zhou, who was furiously refreshing the app on his phone, blurted out a vulgarity, “Fuck!”
