Chapter 87: Chapter 86: Check All Personnel
Fu Man’s heart skipped a beat.
Xinnuan had been obedient and studious since childhood, always steady and reliable in academics as well as the arts, never letting anyone down.
For her to say sothing like this today, she must have suffered a setback.
But this child had always been sensible; she’d keep everything bottled up inside, only ever speaking kind words to comfort others, which made people all the more anxious.
Fu Man pulled Lu Xinnuan onto the sofa and after much pressing, finally learned that it was about the physics competition.
Yet Xinnuan claid that Lu Mian had scored full marks. After her initial shock, Fu Man felt it was unrealistic, no matter how she thought about it.
However, Fu Man wasn’t in the mood to concern herself with Lu Mian’s affairs, comforting Lu Xinnuan instead, “Nuannuan, you’re putting too much pressure on yourself. This is just the preliminary round, there’s still the semi-finals and the finals. Lu Mian might just have gotten lucky this ti with a perfect score. Luck isn’t everlasting. You’re different; you have a solid foundation and real strength. Mom believes in your abilities.”
“Mom…” Lu Xinnuan looked up slightly, her voice quavering, “Can you ask sister to co back? I’m really worried about her being out there alone.”
Fu Man was just as worried. No matter how much she scolded or lectured her, that was still her child.
But ultimately, rembering Lu Mian’s cold and ruthless deanor, she shook her head, “Forget it. Her return would just irritate and distract you from your studies.”
“Oh…”
Lu Xinnuan seed to have sensed sothing and contentedly snuggled into Fu Man’s embrace.
“By the way, Mom, can I learn stock trading with Su Jue?”
“Stock trading?”
“Yeah, he’s really good at it, always earning tens of millions each ti. I want to pay off our family’s debts as soon as possible so you won’t have to work so hard anymore…” Lu Xinnuan said this with unwavering faith in Su Jue’s abilities.
Fu Man didn’t understand stock trading, but she had heard about the risks involved, including countless news stories about people jumping off buildings after failures in the market.
She wasn’t in a hurry to repay the money. As long as Nuannuan made good, the debt would be a trifling matter in the future.
“Nuannuan, your task right now is to study. Let Mom handle making money!”
“Mom, actually, I just wanted to find an opportunity to spend more ti with Su Jue…”
Fu Man had noticed his indifference lately.
Perhaps she would have played hard to get in the past, but after witnessing Su Jue’s abilities, she felt the need to hold onto him tightly.
At the very least, she couldn’t let Lu Mian take advantage.
“You don’t have to give too much money. Just a few thousand will do; we can start small!”
Lu Xinnuan was brimming with enthusiasm, and Fu Man, reluctant to dampen her daughter’s spirits, clenched her teeth and transferred half of her recently received paycheck to Lu Xinnuan.
Three thousand yuan.
She smiled sweetly and clicked ‘Receive.’
——
Late at night.
Lu Mian returned to Jin City Number One, her black outfit exuding an aura of deadly seriousness.
She shed her clothes, changing into comfortable pajamas, the faint scent of blood dissipating with them.
She lazily settled in front of her computer.
In the empty room, with only dim light, the computer screen glowed resolutely bright.
Her delicate, small face looked rather pale in this lighting.
Encouraged by a bunch of eager stock enthusiasts, Lu Mian ticulously analyzed another promising stock and sent the information to Zero.
The rest was handled by Zero.
But this ti was different from before; Lu Mian added an extra comnt.
Mian: [Screen the group mbers.]
Zero: [Got a traitor? Should we stop distributing this information?]
Mian: [No need, just check for now!]
