Chapter 948: Chapter 950-In the Unknowns
Li Muyao gave Wu Ling and Gu Zhijun a short lesson on beauty knowledge and continued to do her own thing. Cheng Yeyu was once again treated as an invisible person.
The results of the military training assessment were announced on the second day. The military training commendation ceremony and the welcome party for the freshmen of Huaqing University began on the third day as scheduled. Li Muyao and Duan Jingqi were both selected as the outstanding freshman representatives of the military training class.
When Cheng Yeyu returned to the dormitory that day, she didn’t dare to be sarcastic to Li Muyao.
Even though Duan Jingqi and Cheng Yeyu’s actions had made them famous outside of the Huaqing Forum, they were still not able to do anything. They could even see their beautiful photos on other websites.
However, Li Muyao was still more famous in Huaqing University.
Because Li Muyao was the top student in the military training, the instructors gave her the highest score. In addition, Li Muyao had given a speech on behalf of the students, which made it known to all the freshmen that Li Muyao was the top scorer of the national college entrance examination for liberal arts.
As for Duan Jingqi, although many of her classmates knew her name, they all felt that it was a pity that her results were only one point lower than Li Muyao’s.
One point was the distance between them and the top scorer in the country.
Duan Jingqi threw a tantrum at Cheng Yeyu.
After the military training ended, everyone started their classes as usual. When Li Muyao formally sat in a university class for the first time, she was both excited and nervous. Her thoughts followed the professors the entire time, because Li Muyao was afraid that she would lose her mind and lose face in the first class. More importantly, Li Muyao really cherished the opportunity to go to university.
Li Muyao had a good feeling about her first class and the first day of university life. It was better than she had imagined. Therefore, when Li Muyao returned to the classroom after her self-study session and continued reading, Wu Ling and Gu Zhijun were shocked.
“Mu Yao, you…Wasn’t he working too hard? Today was the first day of classes. Do you want to go shopping with us?”Wu Ling invited Li Muyao to go shopping at the supermarket, but to her surprise, Li Muyao went back to her dormitory to continue reading.
One had to know that it was not the college entrance examination now. There was no need to be so nervous and continue to practice so hard, right?
“I’m not going. I don’t have anything to buy. I’m not trying hard. It’s just that today is the first day of class. I’ll prepare the textbooks in advance so that I can feel a sense of security.
I’ll only be reading for an hour. I still have to chat with my boyfriend on the computer in an hour. You guys go ahead. Don’t worry about me.”Li Muyao explained to Wu Ling and the others as she took notes on her preparations. This was a small habit that Li Muyao had developed after repeating her third year of high school.
“Bah! He was just putting on an act! Did she really think of herself as a high school student? Li Muyao, stop pretending in front of us. Who doesn’t know who?”Cheng Yeyu had been directly slapped in the face by Li Muyao as the representative of the most outstanding freshmen yesterday and the day before yesterday. Today, she saw Li Muyao working so hard to practice after class, which was simply too annoying.
In Cheng Yeyu’s eyes, Li Muyao was just putting on an act.
“Why do you care? Whether I’m pretending or being serious, what does it have to do with you? Wu Ling, Zhijun, you guys go ahead. Can you bring me back a plate of yogurt? I want something that smells like jasmine!”
After Li Muyao retorted to Cheng Yeyu, she ignored her and took out some money from her wallet to ask Wu Ling for help while thanking her.
” Our relationship is so good that we don’t need to thank you, but it’s just a matter of convenience.””Wu Ling took Li Muyao’s money and left the dormitory with Gu Zhijun, each carrying a plastic bag.
It was Li Muyao who had given them the eco-friendly bags. Although they said they were eco-friendly bags, they were actually large cloth bags of good quality.
When Li Muyao went out to buy things, she always liked to carry such a plastic bag to the supermarket. Li Muyao never used plastic bags. She also used the leftover water in the bathroom to flush the toilet. She never wasted water. Even the plastic bottles or old papers that Li Muyao had used or drank were sorted and thrown into the recycling bin.
Li Muyao did a good job with these small details. Wu Ling and Gu Zhijun were also influenced by Li Muyao in just half a month, and they would bring their bags when they went out to buy things.
Li Muyao continued reading. When Cheng Yeyu saw that there was only her and Li Muyao left in the dormitory, she looked in Li Muyao’s direction but didn’t dare to provoke her again. When Wu Ling and Gu Zhijun returned from the supermarket, Li Muyao received a call from Huang Yuying.
As it was already night time, Li Muyao didn’t want to talk too loudly in the dormitory, so she walked to the balcony of the dormitory and called,” As soon as the call went through, Huang Yuying reported the results of the investment feasibility report to Li Muyao.”Mu Yao, the investigation and evaluation report has been sent to your email. Open it and take a look.
The feasibility is about 40%. Compared to our previous investment projects, this profit will take a long time, or even very slowly. It would take at least ten years for the company to generate revenue, and this revenue would be very low.
It might not even be profitable in ten years. After all, the ancient town in Wing City was too small and did not have any special features. The only memorable point that could be publicized was that there was a Martyr Mountain nearby.”
“Martyr Mountain?”
This was something that Chen Tao had never mentioned when Li Muyao had followed him on the field trip.
“Yes, it’s less than ten kilometers away from the old town of the city. The Martyr Mountain was not called the Martyr Mountain locally, but there were a few Martyr Monuments there. However, if they really wanted to develop the ancient town of Wing City, the stories of these martyrs were also an entry point.
Therefore, in the final evaluation of the investment report, all of us had a meeting to discuss that it was best not to invest!”Huang Yuying told Li Muyao all the important points in the report, including the results of the meeting between the company’s higher-ups.
Li Muyao went back to her desk from the balcony and turned on her computer again. She opened the email that Huang Yuying had just sent. As she read it, she heard Huang Yuying’s explanation. By the time she finished reading it, Huang Yuying had finished speaking.
Li Muyao closed her eyes and asked Huang Yuying,”Sister Ying, if I insist on investing in the ancient town of Yi City, will it affect our company’s next investment plan?
Also, if I invest, can I lean towards Martyr Mountain? I mean… Yes, my father used to be a member of the guards. He retired, but I still want to do something to help in this area.”
“I understand! Mu Yao, if you really want to invest in the project in the ancient town of Wing City, it’s not impossible. Although it won’t affect our company’s funds much, it will indeed reduce the number of large-scale projects that we plan to invest in next year.”
Huang Yuying knew about Li Muyao’s family situation. She even knew that if she didn’t mention this Martyr Mountain, Li Muyao probably wouldn’t have invested in the ancient town of Wing City.
But Huang Yuying still brought it up because she knew how kind Li Muyao was.
“Then let’s vote! Anyway, 100 million wasn’t a lot, so they left in three batches. When the time comes, Sister Ying, you and your lawyer will come to Jin City personally and then go to the ancient town of Yi City.
As for Manager Chen, if she’s almost done with her business, he could ask her to come to Jin City to choose the address of the beauty shop branch. Just in time to let her change her mood.”
Just as Huang Yuying had guessed, Li Muyao wouldn’t have invested in the ancient town of Yicheng that Chen Tao had mentioned if Martyr Mountain hadn’t been mentioned. It was also because of the appearance of Martyr Mountain that some images that she might have forgotten long ago appeared in Li Muyao’s mind again. That was to confirm that she had really been there with her father when she was very, very young.
Li Muyao had really gone to see the Big Lion at the entrance of the old town and Martyr Mountain with her father.
Li Muyao and Huo Jiling had analyzed Chen Tao’s behavior during the video call. With his intelligence, he wouldn’t have thought of investing in the unfinished project of Yicheng Ancient Town, but Chen Tao had invested and wanted to pull Li Muyao into the project. Was he really just trying to get lucky with Li Muyao’s koi?
Not only Li Muyao, but even Huo Jiling, who knew Chen Tao, didn’t believe it.
Huo Jiling also supported Li Muyao not to invest, but if Li Muyao invested, Huo Jiling told her to invest according to her mood. Anyway, Huo Jiling had plenty of money. He was Li Muyao’s backer, so Huo Jiling could take out as much money as Li Muyao wanted. If Huo Jiling couldn’t bring it out, then there was the Huo Family behind him.
Plus, Huo Jiling had called Grandma Huo to ask Chen Tao about the ancient town of Yicheng, so he got a positive answer. Huo Jiling told Li Muyao to reconsider and even decide whether to vote or not according to her mood.
Huang Yuying wasn’t surprised at all when she heard that Li Muyao wanted to continue investing. Everyone in her company knew that if Li Muyao invested 100 million yuan in this project, it would be considered a charity. Not only would she be able to protect the ancient buildings that might be demolished, but she would also be able to provide a place for the elderly who didn’t want to leave.
It would also help to preserve the last bit of the unique characteristics of Wing City.
“Okay, I’ll have a meeting with everyone tomorrow. I’ll go to Jincheng with Manager Chen then. If you have time, let’s meet again.”
Sun City Men’s Beauty Shop had been successfully transferred. Even the name of the shop had been transferred to Dream Come True’s bank account. They immediately got someone to take down the signboard with the words ‘Dream Come True’. It had now been placed in the company’s warehouse.
More importantly, the foreign company that took over Dream Come True Men’s Beauty Shop had really transferred 30,300,000 yuan to Dream Come True’s account.
It was definitely a high price. It was higher than Li Muyao’s price from the time she was preparing to open the shop to the time she was selling it. In just over half a year, Li Muyao had made a net profit of 20 million yuan.
Yes, Li Muyao’s men’s beauty shop cost about ten million yuan to open. It was more expensive than opening a women’s shop called Dream Come True, mainly in terms of renovations and beauty equipment.
There was also the transfer fee for buying the shop, which accounted for a large amount.
“Okay, I’m basically free at noon, Saturday, and Sunday anyway. Send me a message when you arrive in Jin City. I’ll arrange it and we’ll meet up together.”
Li Muyao’s schedule was pretty much the same from now on, noon, Saturday, and Sunday.
“Alright.”
After Li Muyao and Huang Yuying hung up, she saw Wu Ling, Gu Zhijun, and Cheng Yeyu looking at her again. Li Muyao subconsciously touched her face and checked her clothes. After confirming that she was fine, she asked them,”Did I call you too loudly?”
Even Cheng Yeyu revealed a shocked and complicated expression, which made Li Muyao feel a little strange.
“No, no, it’s just… Uh, that Mu Yao you just said 100 million, is that 100 million RMB? You want to invest in the ancient town of Wing City? Is that what I heard?
Mu Yao, we didn’t mean to eavesdrop on you, we just overheard you. You know, I’m from Wing City…So he was just asking out of curiosity? Is it convenient for you to tell me? It was fine if it was inconvenient for her to answer.”
Wu Ling waved her hands repeatedly and asked this question that seemed to be inconvenient.
That’s right, Gu Zhijun and Cheng Yeyu didn’t say anything. They were also shocked by the words that Li Muyao said on the phone.
If the 100 million yuan was really the 100 million yuan that they understood, this was simply…A super rich woman!
“Cough cough. Yes, as you know, I have a small investment company. Before I came to report to our school, I went to the ancient town of Yi City to inspect it. It just so happened that a friend wanted to invest in and take over the unfinished reconstruction. I thought that I had some spare money on hand and felt that this project was not bad, so I decided to invest a portion of my money.”
Even if Li Muyao didn’t tell them with certainty, that 100 million was what they understood.
However, Li Muyao’s words had already told Wu Ling and the other two that Li Muyao was really doing something that they might never have thought of in their lives.
“But Mu Yao is an unfinished project. Even though to me, a citizen of Wing City, being able to protect the old town is a very good thing. But for an investor like you, it’s not too good.”
Wu Ling was also a finance major student, and she was also Li Muyao’s classmate. Of course, she still had to think about making money first!
“You know, investment itself has risks, and the ancient town of Wing City has a special meaning to me. Even if the investment fails, I can bear the risk.”
Although her memories with her father were still vague, Li Muyao still wanted to invest first and then take the time to visit the Martyr Mountain near the old town.
Li Muyao wanted to see if there was really something there that she could guide.
Guide? This was a strange word, but when Huang Yuying mentioned the Martyr Mountain, Li Muyao thought of it. Was this guidance man-made or predestined?
Or was it related to her father’s arrangements?
