“Once I get my entry visa, I’ll visit her lab in Oxford and discuss what to do next with her.”

Ji Fanyin drew the flight path with her finger. “If things go well, I’ll be learning in her lab for some time.”

“... All the way in England? So far away from home?” Cheng Lin pouted.

“Yes, I heard the weather in England is not very good,” Ji Fanyin grimaced.

Cheng Lin cleared her throat, “Mm, can I visit you in England when you’re there?”

Ji Fanyin was stunned. “Would you really go that far to visit me?”

Cheng Lin was stunned too. Slowly, her cheeks turned pink. “What do you mean? Can’t I even do that? We need to maintain social contact to be friends!”

“Ah!” Ji Fanyin exclaimed in surprise. Her face, too, turned red. With suppressed excitement, she asked, “Are you saying you want to be my friend?”

Cheng Lin covered her burning red face. With a clench of her teeth, she agreed, “That’s. Right. If you’re still not ready to forgive me for what I’ve done to you previously, I’ll find a way to make amends with you before we become friends.”

“Let’s be friends!” Ji Fanyin blurted out then looked down at the tip of her shoes. “Erm… Because… I’ve never had a friend before. No one wanted to be my friend.”

Cheng Lin was about to explode from this kindergarten level friend making process. Pushing Ji Fanyin out the door, she said, “To celebrate, let me treat you to a meal. Let’s go, where did you park your car?”

“Erm, I took a taxi here.”

Cheng Lin’s voice instantly shot up. “But you have so many cars?!”

Even though she had no idea of how the other Ji Fanyin had amassed so much wealth, she was sure she was not an innocent lamb after hearing about how she had gotten four luxurious mansions from the Li family, just to meet Li Xiaoxing once. Needless to say, the meeting with him only lasted fifteen minutes.

With these sorts of money making methods, Cheng Lin was sure Ji Fanyin’s bank, investments and financial accounts must all be in the VVIP class.

Fun fact: If you deposited one hundred million dollars in the bank, even if the interest rate is 0.03%, you would still receive an annual interest of three hundred thousand.

But Ji Fanyin had still not realized that. With a worried face, she complained while showing off her newfound wealth, “The new car she bought is so luxurious! I’m sure the repair fees will be exorbitant if I even scratch it… I’ll need to spend her money again if that time comes…”

“Isn’t her money also yours?”

Ji Fanyin shook her head furiously. “The money she earned is hers. It was not easy for her to amass such wealth… Ah! I still have somewhere I have to go, her studio.”

“What studio?”

Thinking about the socialite, Zhang Ning, Ji Fanyin felt butterflies in her stomach. She grabbed Cheng Lin’s hand. “It’s a film studio the other Ji Fanyin started with some partners. One of them is a really capable lady and the other is someone she could talk comfortably with. That’s something beyond me.”

… Looking at the time, the email the other Ji Fanyin had scheduled for Zhang Ning should have been sent to her. But Ji Fanyin was still nervous… No, thinking about Zhang Ning’s temper, she was more than nervous.

She was not used to handling matured ladies like Zhang Ning.

Cheng Lin looked at Ji Fanyin’s hand on hers. “Both of you are going to talk business, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to interfere. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Ji Fanyin called out in a suppressed voice, “Friend!”

Cheng Lin: “...” She took a deep breath.

“That partner of hers, what’s her name?”

“She’s called Zhang…” Ji Fanyin was interrupted by the sudden ring of her phone.

She took it out and took a look at the caller ID, ‘Zhang Ning’.

Ji Fanyin felt her vision tunneling. With a shiver, she stuffed the phone into Cheng Lin’s hands. “H-h-help me.”

Cheng Lin: “...” What else are friends for, right?
