“This is the deed to one of my properties. It’s currently worth around a hundred million dollars. I’ve already settled the administrative procedures with my lawyer, so all you have to do is to place your signature on this document to make the property yours. This is a token of my sincerity.”
“Assuming that I accept your deal, what do you want me to do?” asked Ji Fanyin as she munched on a slice of tangerine. “It won’t be easy to deal with Bai Zhou’s mother, no?”
“You need not worry about Mrs. Bai. I’ll deal with her,” replied the madam calmly. “All you have to do is to continue what you’re doing, or if possible, make Bai Zhou fall even deeper for you. Make him spend every single cent he has on you. It’s that simple. You’ll be able to do it.”
“What about the compensation?”
The madam tucked her hair behind her ear and generously offered, “I’ll match whatever Bai Zhou is paying you, meaning that you’ll be able to earn double. How does that sound?”
Ji Fanyin gave the offer some thought.
Is this my opportunity to expand into the vixen industry? But just because an opportunity arises doesn’t mean that I’ll have to take it.
“You don’t have to answer me right away. You can take your time to think it through,” said the madam. “I’ll call you in a few days’ time, Miss Ji Fanyin.”
Leaving the document folder on the table, she rose to her feet and gracefully smoothened out the crumples on her skirt.
Ji Fanyin looked at her and asked, “Aren’t you worried that I might tell others about this?”
“Who are you going to tell?” The madam laughed softly. “Bai Zhou? I doubt that he dares to tell this matter to his parents. To Mr. and Mrs. Bai? Pardon me, but I don’t think that Miss Ji Fanyin has the connections to reach them.”
The madam walked to the doorway before directing a nod at Ji Fanyin. “Do consider it. Such opportunities tend to slip past your fingers before you know it.”
Ji Fanyin watched as the madam left her house before reaching into the plastic bag to grab her second tangerine. While she was in the midst of peeling her skin, her phone on the table vibrated. It was a message from Zhang Ning.
【Babe, are you ready? I’m coming over in three hours’ time.】
Ji Fanyin was going to attend a small-scale party tonight. Zhang Ning had insisted on her participation, saying that this event was crucial if they wanted to reach out to the cinema chains. Many important figures were going to be at the party.
Perhaps fearing that she would dress in casual clothes as she did back at He Shen’s movie premiere, Zhang Ning had dragged her out to a boutique to try out new clothes three days ago. Even earlier this morning, she made sure to give her a wake-up call eight hours before the event.
Never had a person dared to rush Ji Fanyin so much in her previous life.
She stuffed the tangerine into her mouth in a single mouthful before marching to the bathroom with stuffed cheeks.
The property deed that was worth over a hundred million was left just like that on the table. Ji Fanyin didn’t even bother opening it to take a look.
Coincidences really did happen at times.
It was just earlier in the afternoon that Mr. Bai’s lover told Ji Fanyin that she didn’t have the connections to request a meeting with the Bai couple. Yet, just hours later, while Ji Fanyin was sipping on a glass of champagne in an elegant silk dress, she spotted Mr. and Mrs. Bai walking into the venue together.
Standing not too far behind the couple was Bai Zhou in a formal suit.
Bai Zhou initially cast an irritated look to every corner room, as if everyone was an eyesore to him. Yet, despite being fifty meters away from each other, he was somehow able to swiftly lock his eyes upon Ji Fanyin.
Ji Fanyin took a sip of her champagne, not bothering to pay any heed to Bai Zhou.
She wondered if she should make a trip back home to bring the property deed over and attempt to make an even larger deal with Mrs. Bai. Such a move did come with risks, but who knows? Perhaps Mrs. Bai might just whip out an 800 million dollar cheque in response.
