Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 49 Telephone
The bright moon hangs in the sky.

The night breeze is slightly cool.

The bright moonlight cast a reflection on the river, blurring into a shimmering band of white jade light.

Along the riverbank, a small electric scooter sped along the road at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per hour.

At midnight, there are almost no cars, and the roads have dedicated non-motorized vehicle lanes, making cycling on such roads a pleasant experience.

Not only is riding a bike comfortable, but sitting in a bike under the bright moon and with the evening breeze is also a joyful experience.

So much so that Yu Xiaoyu let go of her hands, closed her eyes, tilted her head back slightly, and opened her arms as if to embrace the evening breeze.

Her smooth, flowing hair brushed past her slightly red earlobes, dancing in the wind. The moonlight reflected on her gentle smile, weaving together a picture full of youthful memories.

pity……

The riverside section is ultimately less than one kilometer long.

After crossing this road, turn into a commercial street, and walk a few hundred meters further to enter Jiangtao Pavilion, which is built against the mountain and faces the river across.

Upon entering the villa, Yu Xiaoyu immediately spotted Ji Qingqing sitting on the sofa on the first floor in her pajamas. She couldn't help but ask, "Qingqing, weren't you feeling unwell? Why didn't you get some rest?"

"I'm waiting for you. How can I sleep if you don't come?"

Ji Qingqing stood up abruptly: "Isn't it because I was worried that you might be in danger?"

"Didn't Xiaoyou go to pick me up? What danger could there be?"

As Yu Xiaoyu spoke, she pinched her index and middle fingers together, making a throwing motion: "Xiaoyou is very good."

"Go remove your makeup and take a shower. Come find me when you're all clean and refreshed. I have something to tell you!"

Ji Qingqing greeted them and went upstairs.

Yu Xiaoyu didn't understand, but she still nodded.

They always whisper to each other when they sleep.

Sometimes, when they get really into it, it's not unusual for them to chat until three or four in the morning.

As for staying up past 1 a.m. every day...

What a joke! It's 2031 already, how many young people still go to bed before 1 a.m.?
……

Ji Fuyou watched Yu Xiaoyu and Ji Qingqing go upstairs one after the other, but didn't say anything.

He needs some time to undergo a psychological transition.

I took a shower, changed my clothes, and went to bed.

Lying in bed, he recalled the scene of him eagerly returning home after obtaining the Spirit Source Crystal so that Ji Qingqing could use it...

He laughed suddenly.

"The poor".

His behavior reeked of poverty.

"I refined two blue spiritual source crystals. Even at their normal price, they're worth a billion. It's no exaggeration to say I'm worth a billion..."

He said it to himself.

Despite his immense wealth, he doesn't resemble a billionaire at all.

Upon acquiring a Spirit Source Crystal worth 100 million, the first thought wasn't to maximize its benefits—but rather to exchange it for ten Body Source Crystals to strengthen Ji Qingqing's physique to level 10 or higher!

Instead, they used the spiritual source crystal as soon as possible.

They were afraid that the crystal might be damaged by bumps or knocks, resulting in a waste of 100 million yuan.

This behavior...

Ji Fuyou couldn't help but smile again.

In his past life, he was just an ordinary person who barely worked a few years.

In both of my lifetimes, I have never been wealthy.

Looking back on my behavior at the time...

"reality!"

He said, "This is the real me."

Immediately afterward, images flashed through his mind of how he risked everything, wielding a crowbar to kill the leopard-man in Fulong Mountain, and then ventured to Lion Mountain and Huanglong Cave to fight the human-shaped spider and the mutated giant scorpion...

Be rational and calm.

Kill decisively.

"This is the real me."

he said.

The truth ahead...

It is because of the limitations imposed by the external environment that, despite having lofty ambitions, they are still bound by class constraints and find it difficult to defy the general trend. Their forced actions only result in a life as fragile as paper.

In the end, they had no choice but to live honestly under the rules and regulations, and spend their lives in an ordinary way.

And the reality now...

It's an opportunity!
I will seize any opportunity, no matter how small! I will use all my strength to fight, to struggle, and to defy fate!

Achieve the extraordinary through the ordinary!
Use reason to control madness!
"Shouzhen!"

He muttered those two words to himself.

His clear self-analysis seemed to have caused a subtle change in the nascent sword intent he had condensed when he fought against Wolf Fang.

It began to transform from a crude and rudimentary form of sword intent into a formal "preserving the true essence" sword intent.

The core of sword intent is authenticity.

His own, purest and truest essence!
……

Longyuan Trading Company.

A lounge.

"This tactical watch is the highest-end model on the market. I can refurbish it and sell it for 30 without any problem. How about 28?"

Jiang Yubai said with a smile.

"can."

"Old account? I'll have someone transfer the money to you right away."

Jiang Yubaidao.

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou nodded and then said, "Those with intermediate-level mental ability titles can apply for an additional 300 million in interest-free loans, but it requires some paperwork. Do you have any connections to expedite the loan process?"

"loan?"

Jiang Yubai was taken aback.

Then I realized something.

Last time during the loan season, Fuyou followed Pei Zhaoye's approach.

Right now, he didn't choose to look for Pei Zhaoye, but instead looked for him...

This in itself is a form of trust.

He immediately replied, "Yes, the higher-ups are very lenient in their oversight of funds for people with mental abilities like you. I'll handle it, and it should be approved by tomorrow at the latest."

He then added, "Do you need money urgently? If so, I have about 300 million in pocket money that I can lend you first. You can pay me back when you have more money."

"300 million? Pocket money?"

Ji Fuyou couldn't help but glance at him.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying.

but……

Considering that Jiang Yubai has troubled her more than once, one more time wouldn't be a big deal.

At worst, I can leave behind a white physique source crystal next time I enter the mist.

When tens of millions are in hand, all problems will be easily solved.

"Lend me 200 million, I need to go to Flash to terminate a contract."

"Sparkling Culture Media?"

"Ah."

"wait."

Jiang Yubai immediately took out a mobile phone and quickly dialed a number.

A short while later, the call connected, and he immediately said, "Uncle Zhang, it's me, Xiaobai. Yes, yes, I heard you own a significant number of shares in Flash... Yes! I have a friend who wants to terminate a contract. What do you think about the penalty for breach of contract?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Ji Fuyou: "Whose contract should be terminated?"

"Yu Xiaoyu".

"Yu Xiaoyu".

Jiang Yubai immediately relayed the message: "Yes! He's a very good friend of mine! A very powerful business partner; I rely on him for many of my goods! Yes! Thank you very much, Uncle Zhang!"

The call ended quickly.

He hung up the phone, turned to Ji Fuyou, and smiled: "Alright, see when you're free this afternoon, I'll go to Flash with you."

"This is?"

“Uncle Zhang is also a member of our Longyuan Chamber of Commerce. He is a friend of my father. He has shares in Flash. Although he is not the executive director, his words carry weight. Terminating a contract is not a difficult matter for him.”

Jiang Yubai said with a smile.

"That 500 million?"

“Since Uncle Zhang has stepped in, the board of directors will naturally give him face. Besides, the so-called 500 million yuan penalty for breach of contract might be illegal somewhere. If we really make a fuss with him, he might not gain any advantage, and it might even damage the company's image.”

Jiang Yubai smiled and said, "It would be better to terminate the contract cleanly and become friends."
