Murmurs erupted again. "What's Spirit Group?"
"How come we've never heard of it?"
"But the names sounded familiar."
Naturally, Spirit Group belonged to Ling Qingyu's future name of the consortium she planned. Under it comprised of electronics, automobile, heavy industry, food, agriculture, fashion and many more.
People realized after a while and gazed at Ling Qingyu in awe, while Mr. Shen became speechless. Throwing away half a billion without hesitation not long after she spent 2 billion.
Even the reputable Xia family comparable to theirs only spend around 300 million yuan. This woman hid too deep; how long had she been planning?

Sometimes, when a person was too mysterious, people allocated the reasons toward mythical and luck. And they were right—it was impossible without Miss System's and Athena's contributions.
In fact, Ling Qingyu could spill several billions and shut down everyone's brain but she never wanted to waste her wealth, not especially when she had no idea whether her money would reach the intended area.
If she had control over the cash flow and the ability to monitor throughout the entire path, she might have no hesitation.
Mr. Shen continued, listing out the names but no commotion arose. People's hearts were numbed by Ling Qingyu's number and the others seemed more like decorations.
Groups and corporations referred to the business contingents, specializing in several sectors. There were also some specific names such as entertainment and so on. Ling Qingyu heard various companies' names for the first time, including publishing houses.
Although the net worth of less than 1 billion appeared feeble, Ling Qingyu would never underestimate any businessperson. It all depended on skills and mostly luck, particularly opportunities during the journey, which differentiated the ranking.
Just because her business was doing well, Ling Qingyu never swelled and this was what attracted others.
While many were focusing on the lists, Yang Qingyue flowed through the crowd, came in front of Ling Qingyu and dragged her away.
Noticing Yang Qingyue's corny and excited expression, Ling Qingyu didn't refuse and came into a corner where there was a private space for the two.
Yang Qingyue rubbed her hands and asked in expectation. "I save you from the bad guy, are you not rewarding me with anything?"
Ling Qingyu's nose twitched. What in the world? She thought there was something important to discuss far away from the crowd.
Now Yang Qingyue was acting as a hero saving the beauty and begging for a reward. "Why didn't you ask me when you finished scolding the fat guy?" Ling Qingyu asked curiously. "Besides, do you think I can not solve this simple retard?"
Ling Qingyu's lips stretched into a wide grin. The coming days were never going to be boring again.
....
Splash! Splash!
Water dripped over the healthy whitened skin. The hands washed away the foams around and shook off any reaming droplets.
Ling Qingyu turned off the faucet. With support on her palms, she leaned on the basin and studied herself from the reflection in the mirror.
She had no idea if the wine was the factor or Yang Qingyue's teasing, her face blushed more and the boiling redness hadn't dissipated yet.
During the pause before the main event began, Ling Qingyu went to the toilet. For security reasons, Xiao Yue accompanied her and now stood on her right leaning against the wall.
Noting her confidantes, Ling Qingyu frowned. "Really. Do you have to stay near me all the time?"
Xiao Yue shrugged. "Who would like to listen to your nature sound?"
F**k, Ling Qingyu swore, these two girls always gave her high blood pressure. She worried the capillaries might rupture, if she continued the topic.
Ling Qingyu raised her hands. "I know. I know. Someone has been trying to kill me and we don't know who yet. Till we have better news, due vigilance is necessary." She replied like a report to the teacher and sighed.
Xiao Yue stepped forward and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry. With our presence, it's only a matter of time."
"You know, I want to make wealth in silence. No one knows I'm great. No one is even aware, that someone ordinary ranked very high on the wealthy list. That's my dream—becoming a hidden rich." Ling Qingyu said calmly. "But things push me more for publicity."
Xiao Yue remained quiet and served as a good listener. Ling Qingyu didn't say the deal she made with Miss System caused her reclusive plan to be impossible.
Earning merits meant people had to be aware of her existence. Only with higher prestige, she could seek more merits and a virtuous cycle formed.
No one spoke till Xiao Yue added. "I think your original idea shouldn't be your true wish. It's more like an effect brought from your previous life. What's wrong with showing off, as long as your action doesn't bring troubles. And becoming ordinary doesn't solve any problems or avoid one. You already experienced the fat guy.
How many similar types are on the street? Given your beauty, it won't be long before another disaster comes. Me and Sister Tang also extinguished one of them, the moment we came into this world. What makes you think being ordinary and reclusive life is what you desire?"
Xiao Yue poked Ling Qingyu's chest, causing the recipient to blush and the culprit to cough in embarrassment. "Haha, I'm into the play too much. But Sister Ling, believe me, everything is meant for a reason. You coming here, us coming here, even your...hmm...gender problem."
Ling Qingyu: It's better if you don't say it.
