Chapter 171: Let’s Go on a Trip
However, Jian Ai felt a headache when she thought of money.
Real estate was a deep pit, to begin with. The initial investments were bottomless, but if one wanted to see returns, it was another extremely long process.
Take the hotel project for example. When the hotel was built and opened for business, it would be profitable. However, this would not be completed in a few months or a year or two.
Hence, many people who invested in real estate had succeeded in other areas before they had the capital to dabble inland. It was because Bai Zhou had supported her that she could rush in with just two million yuan.
Even so, Jian Ai felt that this was not a long-term solution. The company couldn’t rely on just Bai Zhou alone. Even if Bai Zhou believed in spending money on her, Jian Ai could not cross this hurdle.
Therefore, she had to think of another way to get money. Moreover, it was the kind of way to get rich overnight.
Jian Ai had no other goal but to return Bai Zhou’s money to him as soon as possible and then use her abilities to operate the corporation.
She suddenly remembered that it was going to be the First of May soon. There would be seven days of holidays then…
A thought occurred to Jian Ai, and a sly smile appeared on her face.
This smile made Bai Zhou’s hair stand on end when he saw it. He blinked at Jian Ai and said softly, “Sect Master, you are…”
What was she up to?
Bai Zhou didn’t dare to say the rest of his words, but the meaning in his tone was very obvious.
Jian Ai sat up straight and raised her head to look at Bai Zhou. “Let’s go on a trip on the First of May?”
“Alright!” Bai Zhou’s eyes lit up, and he was excited. He was going on a trip with the Sect Master.
“Where are we going?” Bai Zhou asked with anticipation.
Jian Ai smiled. “Macau!”
He nodded hurriedly. As long as he was with the Sect Master, he could go anywhere.
They ate until they were stuffed. It had been a long time since Jian Ai enjoyed delicious food so unrestrainedly. Chi Yang’s cooking was too good.
After dinner, Jian Ai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the night view of Baiyun City. She was momentarily dazed.
It had been almost a month since her rebirth, and Jian Ai seemed to have completely integrated into the current environment. There were her elder brother and mother, her first love back then, her new friends, the ancient sect, and her new company.
With this thought in mind, Jian Ai felt like it was a real dream. Just like how she was looking at the bustling night sky of Baiyun City, the neon lights, and the busy streets, they made her feel weightless and dazed.
It was as if she was going to wake up the next second.
“Sect Master.”
The sound of Bai Zhou came from behind her, calling Jian Ai’s wandering thoughts back.
She turned around and saw that Bai Zhou was holding a photo. He handed it to Jian Ai. “It’s the person you asked me to check on.”
Jian Ai took it expressionlessly and looked down.
The person in the photo was slightly plump. He was not considered ugly, but he could not compare to her brother.
“The boss of Starlight Bar is called Liu Zhigang. His son’s name is Liu Yong, and he’s the person in this photo. Every Monday and Wednesday, he would go to a fight club in Haicheng District to practice boxing and Taekwondo. Every Friday and Saturday, he would be enjoying himself at his bar. As Liu Zhigang has a triad background, Liu Yong relies on his father’s power and no one dares to provoke him in Zhonglou District. He also has quite a few bad friends,” Bai Zhou said.
Jian Ai nodded lightly. Not much emotion could be seen on her face, but she put the photo back in her pocket.
