The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

After she finished speaking, Murong Yao nodded thoughtfully.

As for Bai Jinxuan, she let it go in one ear and out the other. She knows all too well what rich people are like; last night she put on a grand show.

I wonder if the people from the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce and the Long Group have been affected by the new city lord's fire.

Ah... 5 million, what a pity.

Thinking of her diamond, Bai Jinxuan couldn't help but sigh.

However, seeing that both Yao's parents were healthy, she felt that it was all worth it.

Diamonds and the like are no longer needed...

So what if we're poor? How much money do we have left?

With 50 million in savings, plus the magic crystals I got from Zhou Kai, I could sell them all and raise about 100 million, which would be considered as achieving my small goal for the first chapter.

"Drip-drip-"

Just then, the smart bracelet suddenly beeped with a message notification. Bai Jinxuan opened it and saw that it was a new announcement from the union.

In short, the new city lord is offering a huge reward for information leading to the capture of the artifact by the men in black. Anyone with information or clues can report it. If the information is true, the reward ranges from 10 billion to 50 billion, and there will be preferential treatment for doing business in the future.

Upon seeing this message, Bai Jinxuan immediately understood that this was a scheme to use the promise of supporting a new family as bait to entice insiders at the auction to betray them and thus obtain information about the whereabouts of the artifact.

It has to be said, this move is truly insidious.

Why do I say that? Because the very next second, she saw her own sketch on the announcement.

To be precise, it is a sketch of Shirachiba.

Damn it, Long Jinming, you don't hesitate at all, do you?

Bai Jinxuan was initially worried that the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce would also be ruthlessly destroyed by the new city lord, but now it seems that the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce will not only avoid being raided, but also has the hope of taking advantage of the situation to soar to new heights.

Damn it!

Even if I sold the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce first, you can't sell me like this.

Besides, was that what I was selling? I genuinely invested 1500 billion, and I'm planning to give another 1500 billion to my good brothers in the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce as performance bonuses, okay?

Why should you sell to me? Damn it, you don't respect Shadow at all?

Long Jinming, you better not get caught by me! Otherwise, you'll be sorry!

and many more......

Suddenly, Bai Jinxuan thought of something.

She has an employee who works with Long Jinming... If Long Jinming has even sold himself out, then what about Jia Ruolin now...?

No, I have to ask right away.

Bai Jinxuan took out her phone, switched numbers, and was about to send a message to Jia Ruolin when, unexpectedly, Jia Ruolin's message appeared first.

Last night, she originally planned to capitalize on the auction's popularity by opening a pharmacy at the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce and selling all the medicines.

However, during the sale of medicine, the venue suddenly exploded, followed by lightning and thunder.

She immediately realized something was wrong with the auction, so she quickly took the money and medicine and ran away, returning to the new house she and her mother had rented in the downtown area.

Not long after she returned, she heard people on the street exclaim in surprise that there were floating cars in the sky.

Looking out the window, he saw that the group was indeed driving their hovercars in a grand procession towards the slums. The only reason that such a poor and desolate place might attract the attention of the city lord was because of him and Shadow.

At that moment, although she was very scared, she also felt a little bit of anticipation.

This proves that Miss Shirae Chiba has likely succeeded.

So she hid and waited for Bai Qianye's reply.

The last message was left an hour ago; just by reading it, you can tell she's terrified.

Bai Jinxuan took a deep breath and quickly typed on her phone, "I'll be there right away."

Then, she quickly finished what was in her bowl, swallowed it, stood up, and greeted her family.

"I'm full. I still have some things to do at school, so I have to go back now."

By this time, the food had been almost finished, and everyone was ready to rest, so no one stopped them. They simply waved and said, "Take care on your journey."

"Okay, bye-bye." Bai Jinxuan waved and got into the black knight parked in the front yard.

Bai Jinxuan didn't want a capable employee like Jia Ruolin to die prematurely.

As the boss, if you're not losing money and can lend a hand, you should. At least Bai Jinxuan would lend a hand.

Who told her to be Bai Jinxuan?

With these thoughts in mind, she activated the Black Knight and soared through the sky.

Volume 1: Chapter 129: The Girl with the New Project

After returning to No. 1 High School, Bai Jinxuan immediately began creating a new character face.

Bai Qianye is currently wanted by the authorities and is no longer useful. Scarface is also unacceptable, as it would attract the attention of Yao's parents.

After much thought, I think it's better to get a new identity. Anyway, there are plenty of people in the Shadow Organization, so I can just pick one.

Looking back on her previous roles, she usually portrayed herself as older in order to appear more mature. This time, she wanted to try something different.

Just like Tong Yishan, she looks young, but she will soon be the current head of the Tong family.

She stood in front of the mirror, carefully adjusting her facial features with the Mask of Innocence, and then using the Cloak of Shadowlessness to shrink her size as much as possible, making her look like a middle school student.

This was already her limit, and even so, she looked...

She is still considerably older than Tong Yishan.

Sigh, I'm growing up too fast.

Bai Jinxuan put on her cloak, transformed into the Shadow Three-Piece Set, and teleported to the outskirts of the slums.

As soon as I landed, I saw several hovercars flying overhead in the distance, the people on them wearing the uniforms of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

No wonder Jia Ruolin ran so fast; I would have run too.

She muttered something like Tong Yishan, pulled a rabbit doll out of the treasure box, hugged it, and walked towards the edge.

Not long after, she realized that the "hugging" posture was extremely uncomfortable, especially with both hands hugging. So she changed it to "strangling" on her own, directly using her elbow to strangle the rabbit's neck, which also freed up her right hand to wield the knife.

A martial artist is like this: if he puts both hands on a doll, wouldn't he just be a sitting duck to get beaten up?

After avoiding the crowds, Bai Jinxuan found Jia Ruolin's address in the Lower City District.

She didn't knock, but went straight through the crack in the wall, turning into a shadow—that's how shameless she is.

At that moment, Jia Ruolin had just comforted her mother and was looking at the union's latest statement on her phone.

Suddenly, a small, thin figure appeared in front of her, startling her.

But soon, she realized that it was Miss Bai Qianye who had arrived.

"Miss Bai Qianye, you've arrived."

"I am not Bai Qianye."

A childish voice came from under the black hood. Jia Ruolin was stunned for a moment, then squatted down and realized that the person in front of her was not Bai Qianye.

She was a slightly chubby little girl, very cute, and even cuter if she weren't wearing the Shadow Organization's signature cloak.

"Um...you are...?"

Before discussing the next steps, Jia Ruolin felt it was necessary to exchange information with the little girl in front of her, since she had not yet come into contact with any of the Shadow members other than Bai Qianye.

"My name is... cough cough... you can just call me Bai Xiaoye."

Bai Xiaoye? She must be Bai Qianye's younger sister, right? So both sisters are members of the Shadow faction...

Jia Ruolin thought for a moment and decided that Bai Xiaoye was trustworthy, so she spread her hands and asked, "Is Bai Qianye your sister?"

"Uh...yes."

"Is what happened at the auction real? Was the artifact really stolen?"

As she said this, Jia Ruolin was somewhat sad. In fact, she already knew the answer. She asked this question only to get a reply from An Ying so that she could give up on this idea.

"it is true."

The little girl's voice rang out.

really.

Jia Ruolin sighed, forced a bitter smile, and stood up.

They're not even selling the artifacts anymore, so there's practically no hope of curing my mother's Oripathy with them.

She was just a poor girl who had been living in the slums not long ago. What right did she have to compete with the newly appointed city lord for the divine artifact? She didn't even dare to think about such a thing.

Just when she was feeling utterly hopeless, the little girl in front of her walked up behind her and said casually, "We stole it."

"That's true...wait...who?"

After deciphering the information in her words, Jia Ruolin immediately turned around and rushed to Bai Xiaoye's side, looking flustered.

"Are you referring to...Shadow? The men in black mentioned in the news are from Shadow?"

"No, but we stole it." The little girl grinned, clutching the rabbit doll in her hand, and teased, "We are the Shadows."

"That......!"

Jia Ruolin was very excited. If Shadow managed to get the artifact, wouldn't that mean her mother could be saved?!

However, Bai Xiaoye's next words immediately calmed her down.

"I heard from Bai Qianye... that you want to use the power of the divine artifact to cure your mother's Oripathy, right?"

The little girl's mischievous laughter startled Jia Ruolin. Of course, she didn't think the girl in front of her was innocent. What a joke! She was a central member with formal abilities and clothing from the Shadow faction, not someone like Jia Ruolin who could easily be taken advantage of.

After a moment of silence, she nodded.

"Correct."

"The organization sent me here for this very reason. I'm willing to treat the illness, but on one condition: after all, divine artifacts are extremely valuable..."

"You said."

Jia Ruolin was ready.

To be precise, she was already prepared for this when she joined the Shadows.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. If Shadow doesn't want anything and is just trying to protect her out of pure kindness, then she really needs to consider running away.

The little girl stopped, turned around, and very formally lifted the two corners of her black robe, bowing with the elegance of a noblewoman: "Miss Jia Ruolin, we want you to become the spokesperson for Shadow, to establish a chamber of commerce, to sell medicine and raise funds... This job is very risky, but once you accept, you will become the apparent president of the chamber of commerce."

"Do you have the courage to stand atop Star City?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jia Ruolin fell silent.

Indeed, this is a question that needs to be seriously considered.

Managing a chamber of commerce is not something you can do just because you want to. Putting aside funds, resources, and background, whether you have the ability to do it is still a question.

If she messes it up, not only will Shadow not be able to forgive herself, but she herself won't be able to forgive herself either.

However... you can try it, or rather, you should definitely try it!

Jia Ruolin's brain was working at lightning speed. What was the situation in Star City now? Large numbers of families were falling from grace, and their businesses, their share of the pie that originally belonged to them, were all empty.

The announcement also mentioned that finding clues could support businesses... but to be honest, even without union support, the overall trend is still upward!

Those companies went bankrupt, and the employees lost their jobs and were looking for new employment, and Jia Ruolin just happened to have such connections.

She started with intelligence and knows many people; as long as Shadow is willing to invest, she can definitely make it work.

"I'll do it."

Jia Ruolin knew that this was the last time she would have such an opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoye smiled calmly.

Where is your mother?

"The innermost room is still occupied... Are you planning to...?"
