Chapter 9 – Spend one hundred million, but only 1% of the progress had been completed

Lujiang forum section has gone crazy.

[OP, are you sure what you wrote is not a dream literature??]

[As another small writer who writes for love, I quickly got up to update and pray that a rich lady can notice me.]

[Does OP’s draft box have enough space? If not, I suggest writing 100,000 words a day to pay off the debt, don’t hurt the rich lady’s feelings, Give advice.jpg]

[You must work hard! Use your updates and enthusiasm to keep the rich lady! Today she may buy film and television copyrights, tomorrow invest in a company, and the day after tomorrow she may even buy the entire Lujiang!]

[For the rich lady who spends money for love and the author who writes for love, both working hard in their own ways, I am so touched and moved to tears.]

[The future of Lujiang is in your hands. Keep going, hurry up and move forward.]

The novel “The Strongest Support” author “One Pen”, who shoulders the future of Green River, felt the pressure on his shoulders and excitedly released the 180,000-word chapters in one go.

With this passion and dedication, it should be enough to please the rich lady!

Ruan Yōu was pleasantly surprised by Wei Wen’s efficiency and happily read the story, even remembering to give ten ‘thumbs up’ when the story reached an exciting part. After reading all 36 chapters, she gave over 100 ‘thumbs up’ in total.

She didn’t count carefully. After reading, she added it to ‘Favorites’ and would come back next time.

“The Strongest Support” has jumped into the top 100 best-seller list, and the comments section is extremely lively. Many readers were attracted from the homepage of the best-seller list.

[Is this the story that the rich lady selected!]

[It must be, with a name like “Fat Cat Who Tries Hard to Spend Money” topping the list.]

[Finally, a rich lady understands our pain and vulnerability, and has spent a million to read the author’s entire manuscript. This is the most enjoyable experience for those who follow the story, who understands.]

Ruan Yōu doesn’t have the habit of reading the comment section. After finishing the novel, she closed the Lujiang app as she had more important things to do.

Ruan Yōu keeps her current life very clear.

The enormous assets of the top wealthy family can provide her with unlimited wealth and pleasure, allowing her to fully immerse herself in the joy of spending money. However, this kind of life also comes with many uncertainties.

Whether it’s the black card, the bank card with 100 million yuan deposit given to her by Gu Fuchen to complete her homework, the luxurious hundreds of square meters wardrobe and priceless jewelry inside, or the antique-level haute couture that Wei Wen is purchasing for her, they are all brought to her by her family.

Apart from her luggage and the four million in her own bank account, she doesn’t have anything that belongs to her personally.

Realizing this, Ruan Yōu felt a slight unease. She didn’t like others having control over her fate.

What if suddenly someone came up and said, “She’s not really from the top wealthy family, it was all just a mistake”? That would be disastrous.

Oh, right.

It’s already the second day since she went home, why didn’t anyone mention the paternity test?

Despite the fact that the two-year-old photo that Xia Shi sent her did look a lot like her photo from the orphanage, with a similarity of up to 98%, there was still a 2% chance of danger.

Why did all the members of the top wealthy family, who control billions of yuan of asset, act so naive? Ruan Yōu frowned and sighed as she asked for Gu Fuchen’s contact information from Wei Wen.

Gu Fuchen agreed very quickly.

His profile picture, name, and friends’ circle background were as simple as she imagined the domineering president to be.

The domineering president novels did not deceive her. The real domineering president is indeed like this.

Ruan Yōu took the initiative to send a set of emojis:

Fat Cat: [Cute cat waving its hand.gif]

G: [Have you finished your homework?]

Fat Cat: […No, there’s something I want to talk to you about.]

G: [Hmm.]

Fat Cat: [Shouldn’t we do a paternity test?]

G: [ ? ]

Ruan Yōu stared at the question mark in bewilderment.

How come doing a paternity test isn’t a normal procedure when her long-lost daughter has been found after so many years? Why would he question her intelligence with a question mark!!

The prompt ‘the other party is typing…’ is on. Ruan Yōu rests her chin on her hand and staring with an angry expression, waiting for Gu Fuchen’s response.

G: [Don’t you believe that we are your family?]

Fat Cat: [Hmm…I think you should be the one questioning my identity.]

G: [ ? ]

Fat Cat: [It’s possible that there’s a deviation from the photo, especially since it’s a comparison with a photo from when I was two years old. What if someone looked exactly like me at that time?]

G: [No other child can look so beautiful.]

Ruan Yōu: Thank you, I’ll take that as a compliment.

Finally, after Ruan Yōu’s insistence, a paternity test was done. The butler sent Ruan Yōu and Gu Fuchen’s samples to a professional organization, and the results would come out the next day.

Ruan Yōu was finally at ease. While receiving messages from Gu Fuchen urging her to spend money for her homework, she quietly opened the website that Lu Ming had sent her.

She felt that Gu Fuchen’s intelligence was unstable. How did this kind of unscrupulous successor who didn’t even do a paternity test double the family’s assets?

This was unscientific!

She felt that the family was on the verge of collapse and could go bankrupt at any moment.

Before going bankrupt, it’s better to earn some money if you can.

The forum that Lu Ming sent her was a niche website with few users.

There were many paid questions floating on the homepage of the forum, which was a platform for communication among top experts in the industry.

Ruan Yōu randomly clicked on two questions, and the answers were hidden, only accessible to paying customers. The same applied to the question askers.

Beside each small answer, one could see the answerer’s personal experiences, educational background, participation in investment projects, how many times their answers were paid for, the number of likes, number of fans, and most importantly, their ranking within the forum.

In the center of the forum, there was a ranking list. Only those whose answers had been purchased over 500 times were eligible to be on the list. The more purchases, the higher the correct rate, the more fans and likes one had, the stronger they were considered.

This was an implicit rule in the forum.

Like game rankings, it was divided into bronze, silver, diamond, and king.

Industry experts not only enjoyed the pleasure of earning money by answering questions, but also the thrill of climbing the rankings.

Ruan Yōu registered an account to browse the forum, but was too lazy to change the default username, so she kept the most original username: User4388320.

She majored in finance in college and was very hardworking in her freshman year. She had already finished reading all the professional books for her junior and senior years at that time. After her freshman year, she switched to the entertainment industry. She could even give some advice from time to time when chatting with Lu Ming.

A long time has passed, but some of the professional knowledge was still in her head.

She knew more than beginners.

Ruan Yōu had an excellent memory and learning ability. After paying to read some interpretations by industry experts, the knowledge structure that she had gradually forgotten reappeared in her mind. It’s not comprehensive, but enough to buy stocks and funds.

Having grasped the recent direction of the industry, Ruan Yōu left the website and prepared to look at stocks. Her eyes inadvertently scanned the homepage and suddenly saw a red post.1

[Can you guys help me out and tell me which one to choose between Puxiong Technology and Shirui? I’ve been arguing with my dad about it all day and we’re about to start fighting.]

After clicking on the post, Ruan Yōu quickly skimmed through it.

There were many replies underneath the post.

After analyzing the two companies, she came to the conclusion that PuXiong Technology was a more stable option, with a potential for a small increase in value. She also found recent industry reports suggesting that Puxiong Technology had made a breakthrough in its autonomous driving technology, which could lead to a slight increase in stock value.

Shirui is a subsidiary of the Bozhan Group under the Gu family. It focuses on clean energy and new energy businesses. Ruan Yōu looked up the company’s financial statements and found that Bozhan Group invested several billion yuan in this company each year. It also collaborates with many universities, magazines, and industry leaders worldwide in the field of new energy development, but it still has a long way to go to reach the top level.

Overall, after comparing the two companies, it’s still safer to go with Puxiong Technology.

But Ruan Yōu doesn’t quite agree.

In the past two years, there have been improvements in the achievements of Shirui, and a world-class university professor has published two articles in a well-known journal related to environmental protection and power. And just now, Ruan Yōu confirmed that this person is on the cooperation list of Shirui.

In recent times, there have been more and more discussions about new energy on the hot search list, and Ruan Yōu has a feeling that something big is about to happen.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, opened the answer column, and made a shallow analysis, summarizing the suggestion to buy Shirui.

As soon as the answer was posted, Ruan Yōu sensitively noticed a rectangular shape of red color above the words “Shirui Medical”, which is the kind of bright red color that indicates a stock price increase.

Ruan You rubbed her eyes and wiped the clean display screen back and forth, making sure that the color really existed.

It lasted for about thirty seconds, and the red rectangle gradually disappeared.

Ruan Yōu was stunned.

She carefully recalled the novel memories that awakened two days ago. In the original novel, after she became a cannon fodder, she was criticized on the hot search for a full four days. The overwhelming abuse ended after Shirui Medical made breakthrough progress in environmental power, and Shirui’s stock price skyrocketed.

After more than ten minutes, Ruan You finally came back to her senses.

She had come to accept living in the world of a novel, so being able to see the future direction of investment didn’t seem like a big deal.

Perhaps this was the world’s way of compensating her for her miserable life.

Suddenly, Ruan Yōu wondered if her abduction at the age of two was also orchestrated by the plot master.

Unfortunately, there was no answer to this question.

The retired salted fish didn’t want to think about such a mysterious topic anymore, so she asked Wei Wen to prepare a bath with essential oils for her to soak and have a good sleep.

While soaking, she boredly browsed the forum on her tablet and was surprised to see that her answer had caused quite a commotion.

Unexpectedly, there was a commotion because of her answer.

Most people are skeptical.

Not skeptical about her answer, but her identity.

[Even premium users have to pay to answer? No free option? And they charge 300 per answer, is it just to make money?]

[Although I didn’t see what it was, I suggest that newcomers don’t click on it and give money.]

Someone who paid to see it was also complaining.

[There is no value in watching it, it’s just saying that Shirui is good. It’s just a beginner who has a money-making obsession.]

[Camels, you’re the only sucker who gave him money.]

[Hahaha, Camels continues to promote the spirit of being a wealthy second generation. Whenever they see a post they like, they buy all the answers.]

Ruan Yōu frowned.

She didn’t know that she could set the answer as free, and the 300 yuan answer price was just the system default.

These people were just looking for easy targets to take advantage of.

Those who didn’t have a ranking badge were all considered newcomers and were given no chance at all.

It was a bit boring.

When Ruan Yōu wanted to exit, she received a notification message.

Someone had bought her answer again.

A user named “Xuanxuan Wants To Get Rich” sent her a private message: [I think you’re right. I’ll buy Shirui with the last 800 yuan I have. Bless me to make big money! I’ll let my brother use it for star-chasing!]

Seeing the expert being attacked, the user “Xuanxuan Wants To Get Rich” directly confronted the “Countless Camels” who were jumping up and down.

[Don’t talk nonsense. I’m going to buy Shirui!]

[What an idiot. If you don’t buy it when the market opens tomorrow, you’re a loser. I’ll buy 2 million worth of Puxiong stocks.]

[Oh, don’t cry and beg for mercy when you regret it.]

When “Xuanxuan Wants To Get Rich” went offline, “Countless Camels” were still babbling, criticizing the naïve newcomers for not listening to the advice of the experts.

Ruan You saw that “Xuanxuan Wants To Get Rich” had entrusted her with the last of her money to buy her answer, and was planning to invest all her assets in Shirui’s advice. She imagined a tragic story of a poor girl who had no pocket money and was forced by her brother to take a desperate gamble by trading stocks to earn money.

Protecting the poor girl, it is everyone’s responsibility.

The poor girl was still trying her best to defend her.

Ruan Yōu frowned and replied to those who questioned her in the comments: [The analysis has been presented, believe it or not, it’s up to you to judge.]

After replying, she quickly went offline and went to bed after her skincare routine.

There is still a big event waiting for her tomorrow.

She had to spend 100 million yuan, but only 1% of the progress had been completed.

There are still more than 98 million waiting for her to spend.

The next day, she slept in until 10:30 in the morning.

Her workaholic elder brother had already suffered through two hours of work, and it didn’t even count his commute time.

Feeling a little guilty, she turned on her extra-large, extra-expensive TV and watched a couple of short dramas while doing her skincare routine. Then she had Wei Wen bring breakfast up to the dining room on the seventh floor, where she enjoyed a luxurious meal while browsing through Weibo.

As she scrolled through her feed, one particular news article caught her eye.

She finally knew how to spend her money!
