Magical Girl Fan Bingbing

The next day is the weekend.

Jiang Li still got up early in the morning and appeared on the rooftop training ground on time.

Jiang Ran stood aside, arms crossed, watching her complete a set of basic skills. Then, he corrected a few details one by one and taught her two new variation techniques.

Jiang Li studied very diligently, practicing each movement repeatedly until Jiang Ran nodded and said it was okay before she stopped.

Judging from her attitude during training today, Jiang Li has indeed made up her mind, and it wasn't just a whim.

Therefore, Jiang Ran had no need to hide anything, and naturally devoted herself to teaching her daughter.

After their morning exercise, the two returned home, where Jiang Ran made breakfast.

Jiang Li ate very quickly, her chopsticks barely stopping. Before she could even swallow the last mouthful of porridge, she had already jumped up from her chair.

"Dad, I'm going shopping with my classmates today, so I might be back late."

"Shopping again?" Jiang Ran glanced at her. "Didn't you just have a get-together with your classmates?"

"That's different. Yesterday we ate, today we're going shopping." Jiang Li was already changing her shoes, her movements so swift that it didn't seem like she was going shopping, but rather like she was going to carry out some kind of mission.

Jiang Ran happened to be going out today to discuss the follow-up matters of yesterday's big order with Leng Qiaoqiao, so she didn't think much of it and let her go.

Jiang Li was about to open the door with her bag on her back when Jiang Ran called out to her.

"Wait a moment."

Jiang Li turned around and saw Jiang Ran take out his phone and tap a few times.

Her phone immediately vibrated, and a transfer message popped up.

Jiang Li looked down and her eyes widened instantly.

"Dad, where did you get so much money?"

"You've been studying hard lately, take this and buy something you like." Jiang Ran put her phone back in her pocket, her tone indifferent.

Jiang Li stared at the number on her phone screen for several seconds, then slowly raised her head and scrutinized Jiang Ran with an extremely suspicious look.

"Dad, tell me the truth, are you really being kept by a rich woman?"

"If I, your dad, had that kind of ability, would I need to be a PE teacher at a school?" Jiang Ran laughed and scolded. "Don't overthink the bonuses from the company."

"What exactly does that 'protective umbrella' company of yours do? Why are they giving out such large bonuses?"

"Alright, alright, if you keep asking, your classmates will have already finished shopping and gone home."

Jiang Li pouted, and although she was still muttering to herself, her fingers had already honestly tapped the payment button. Then she quickly opened the door and ran away.

"Don't come home too late at night."

"knew--"

The door closed, and the sound of Jiang Li skipping down the stairs could be heard in the hallway, gradually fading away.

Jiang Ran stood in the entryway and listened for a while. Only after confirming that the footsteps had completely disappeared did she pick up her car keys and go out.

……

The meeting point is not at the Umbrella Corporation.

It's just an empty shell; there's not even a reception desk. When you go there, you just stare blankly at an empty office.

Jiang Ran and Leng Qiaoqiao arranged to meet at an ordinary restaurant.

Leng Qiaoqiao dressed very casually today, not like she usually dressed up as a female CEO. Instead, she wore a simple sweatshirt and jeans, her golden hair tied in a ponytail. She sat in a corner booth with an untouched cup of milk tea in front of her.

Jiang Ran walked over and sat down. The moment Leng Qiaoqiao saw him, her eyes lit up.

"Teacher Jiang!"

She lowered her voice, but couldn't suppress the excitement in her tone. She pushed the phone directly in front of Jiang Ran, the screen displaying the company account balance.

"The Demonic Cult acted too quickly. Someone contacted me last night, and we signed a contract overnight. The 20 million payment was transferred to the company account first thing this morning."

She swiped her finger across the screen and brought up another page.

"Adding the twelve million from Commissioner Lin's side, after deducting previous costs and various expenses..."

Leng Qiaoqiao took a deep breath, as if to confirm that she hadn't misread it.

"Teacher Jiang, we are now millionaires."

Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, and even though the money had been deposited into her account, she still felt a dreamlike sense of unreality.

Not long ago, she was a wanted criminal whose hideout was raided by the police and who was so poor that she could only afford to eat cheap meals every day. Now, she has transformed into a multi-millionaire. This speed of making money is faster than winning the lottery.

"Has everything been settled with the tax authorities?" Jiang Ran's first question was very practical.

"It's going through the process. I've already spoken to the accounting firm, and the terms on the contract are all prepared. I can't find any problems." Leng Qiaoqiao patted her chest. "Don't worry about this, Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Ran nodded, picked up the tea that the waiter had just brought, and took a sip.

"How do you plan to spend this money?"

Leng Qiaoqiao originally planned to save enough money to find someone to help her kill the nine-headed sea monster, or to hire a more professional person to train her to awaken her powers.

But once the money actually arrived in her account, she didn't know what to do with it.

When she had millions, she had so many things she wanted to spend money on. When she had tens of millions, she suddenly realized that all the things she wanted didn't actually cost that much.

"Teacher Jiang, do you have any suggestions?"

"The Demonic Cultivation Guild might be expanding some businesses recently," Jiang Ran said, putting down her teacup. "You can invest in them then; you might make a fortune."

He looked at Leng Qiaoqiao and continued, "Moreover, investing in legitimate industries has another advantage: it can completely launder this money. Once all the funds have gone through the proper investment return process, you can get out of there and become a glamorous boss."

Although the money from selling magic essence is now processed through formal channels, the police can still uncover many problems if they really want to investigate.

After listening, Leng Qiaoqiao blinked her amber eyes, becoming even more curious.

"Teacher Jiang, how did you suddenly get involved with the Demonic Cultivator Association? Last time I asked you to inquire about them, I didn't find anything, but you, on the other hand, have turned around and started doing business with them."

Under her persistent questioning, Jiang Ran made up a random excuse: "One of my former students joined the Demonic Cultivation Society after his awakening, and I got in touch with him through that connection."

"Teacher Jiang, how many students do you still have that I don't know about..." Leng Qiaoqiao was about to say something sarcastic when her phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

She picked it up and her expression changed instantly.

Jiang Ran noticed her expression, but didn't say anything, just waited quietly.

Leng Qiaoqiao stared intently at the screen, her fingers clicking rapidly, her expression constantly shifting from confusion to surprise, and then from surprise to wariness.

This series of actions lasted for nearly ten minutes before she finally put down her phone.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ran asked with a smile.

Leng Qiaoqiao shook her head. "It's nothing important."

She picked up her milk tea and took a sip, as if carefully choosing her words.

"Those few underlings of mine who were arrested before, I don't know why they were suddenly bailed out, and now they're contacting me, their boss, saying they want to make a comeback."

Her tone sounded nonchalant, but Jiang Ran noticed that her fingers tightened slightly as she held the milk tea cup.

"and……"

Leng Qiaoqiao raised her head, her amber eyes looking directly at Jiang Ran.

"They also asked me about a name I'd never heard of before."

"Teacher Jiang, is the student you mentioned named... Disaster Master?"
