High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 644: Chapter 274: Jiang Banxia Refuses to Be an NPC (Part 3)

"What are you afraid of?"

"Well... Master Li, do you have a system?"

"System? What?"

"You know, like in the novels, where a task gets activated with a ’ding’ sound, and you get rewards by completing these tasks. For example, answer ten thousand questions correctly and become a top scorer in the college entrance exam, or marry me and get an amazing quantitative program..."

"Hmmmm?" Li Yang’s tone suddenly became serious, and he whispered, "You’re really smart, I didn’t expect you to figure it out!"

Jiang Banxia got goosebumps.

Thinking about it, it actually makes sense.

Why was it that Li Yang could achieve more in one month than others in several years of hard work?

It happens that system novels are trending on the internet recently, and when she loosely compared them to Li Yang’s life, she found it quite similar.

If it’s true, then she’s the NPC in Li Yang’s system, and marrying her was just a task Li Yang accepted.

Tasks are emotionless.

"You... really have one?" Jiang Banxia asked in a low voice.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Banxia mumbled, "Then... according to tradition, since I know about the system, am I going to be eliminated?"

"No need, no need. Your positive feeling score towards me is 100. In the system’s view, you are absolutely not going to betray me. Not only won’t it eliminate you, but it has also assigned me another task, and once I complete it, the system will reward me with one billion US dollars."

Jiang Banxia’s eyes widened.

"Wha... what task?"

"Have another kid!"

With that said, Li Yang went in alone without waiting for Jiang Banxia to react.

Jiang Banxia: "..."

"Am I really an NPC now?"

"NPC my foot, what are you thinking about all day? If I had a system, would I need to work so hard? Besides catching up to you, what do I have? All the companies I run are losing money, how much money have I poured into them?"

Li Yang’s business talent isn’t outstanding; if it were someone more capable, they could have used that money to create a top global enterprise.

The projects he’s working on aren’t particularly impressive and lack high recognition.

They have the exposure, but gaining recognition has always been challenging.

He’s really out of money now, not even a drop left, including all the money from his dad’s account, which he spent entirely.

There’s only some dirty money with Chen Peipei, which isn’t necessary to touch for now.

He’s always been spending Port City’s money openly through Convolution Company; otherwise, the little he earned in the stock market wouldn’t have been enough.

Extreme Shadow Cars has consumed forty billion in total, with Ye Bingcheng helping him get a ten billion loan, Jiang Banxia investing ten billion, Li Yang himself investing four billion, and another ten billion through Convolution Company and a few billion through Po County New City Capital.

This doesn’t count the funds recovered from selling tens of thousands of cars, bringing the total spending on Extreme Shadow Cars to fifty billion.

Aurora Studio hasn’t turned a profit either.

They’re losing billions a year on the game itself; it’s only this year that selling items started recouping some money, and sponsorship income from tournament projects hit billions this year, allowing them to earn a few billion after covering costs.

Green Water Group is even more of a money pit, doing a capital increase once a year, except for one time handled by a group of wealthy women, all other times he had to raise the money himself, spending billions each time.

Mouyu and Kuai Pai together saw an investment of billions.

He now owns virtually no money personally, only company shares.

The next day around noon, when returning from the club, Li Yang brought Jiang Banxia a morning-after pill.

After all, they hadn’t used protection last night.

Taking more than four of these pills a year could possibly harm the body, but just one should be fine.

This is definitely not the time to have a child because a child born late next year would still be too young and vulnerable at the start of the year after next, even with her medical team, they don’t have comprehensive equipment just for her.

If they really want children, they should wait a few more years; they’re still young after all.

Li Yang secretly slipped the pill to Jiang Banxia, who just glanced and took it.

After training in the night, Jiang Banxia said, "Honey, I’m going back tomorrow. The kid will stay here, with mom and dad around. You must remember to come home for meals."

"Ah? Leaving so soon?"

"Yeah... you have competitions anyway, and I feel my period is coming... Quick, quick, before it’s here..."

Li Yang knew this was a symptom of taking the pill; otherwise, Jiang Banxia’s period would still be a week away.

Before giving birth, her period was very punctual, never more than two days off.

After the child, it was even more on schedule, not off by a single day.

"Sorry, honey, I was impulsive last night, caused you trouble."

"No, no, I’m happy... the pill works for three days, no need for my husband to suffer tonight..."

...

The next morning after breakfast, Jiang Banxia left.

The pill Li Yang gave her was still in her bag.

She didn’t take it, just checked the after-effects and made an excuse to leave.

If she didn’t leave, she’d be exposed. She knows Li Yang is quite astute.

After thinking it over, even though Li Yang is amazing, wanting the QDII fund to earn one billion US dollars in a year is nearly impossible.

Based on this year’s mid-year liquidation data, at most, it can earn five hundred million US dollars, far from the one billion Li Yang mentioned.

Without any leverage, earning one billion US dollars in a year is absolutely impossible.

She won’t be an NPC no matter what!
