CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: HOW CAN YOU MAKE ANY MONEY LIKE THIS?

"Dad, that estate was developed by our family back then. Isn’t there more than just that one house? Why don’t we just move there?"

"You’re right. I left one for your brother back then, but that brat never comes home now. What’s the point of keeping it for him? It’s decided, we’ll move there!"

Besides giving Qiao Qiqi the property deed, Qiao Yaozu also gave her a card with a million on it, telling her to buy whatever she liked.

Qiao Qiqi looked at her parents who handed out money at every turn, accepted it with a smile. Since neither she nor her brother wanted it, it’d all end up with that ingrate Jun Bai. It was better for her to take it.

Before leaving, Qiao Qiqi reminded her father again not to believe what her uncle said, especially when it came to investment.

As Qiao Qiqi was leaving, Qiao Guangzong really showed up. He greeted her, but the young girl snorted coldly and walked off straightaway.

"Second Brother, what did Qiqi come to see you for?" Qiao Guangzong felt that his little niece had some kind of peculiar energy, which made him uneasy.

"Nothing much. Do you have business at the office, Big Brother?" Thinking of what his nephew did, Qiao Yaozu felt particularly sad.

"Here’s the thing, I found a promising project. I think we can invest! He knows that over the past decade e-commerce has surged, and this project is born of this trend. It will definitely make big money! How about it? If I didn’t have connections, we’d have no avenue to invest!" Qiao Guangzong said.

"What kind of project is it and how much is needed?" Qiao Yaozu asked with a frown.

"It requires five hundred million."

"What? Five hundred million is so much? Big Brother, the company currently has three building projects under construction, and houses don’t sell well now either. Five hundred million is almost all of the company’s working capital."

"Come on, if you know it’s hard to sell, just offer a discount and get your return. I’m telling you, property prices are bound to drop eventually. This is a great opportunity; it’s now or never."

"Let me think about it." Qiao Yaozu remembered his daughter’s advice and could only stall.

"If it doesn’t work, just get a loan. With the company’s strength, it’s no problem to borrow tens of billions."

"Big Brother... You have to be able to repay a loan. Let’s leave it for now. I have a meeting to attend. We’ll discuss this later." Qiao Yaozu picked up a document and stood up.

"Second Brother, you can’t be too conservative in business. How can you earn money like this?"

"..." Qiao Yaozu signaled to the secretary, who immediately came over to block Qiao Guangzong.

...

After asking her homeroom teacher for leave, Qiao Qiqi went to find buyers. The Qiao Family manor was a famous wealthy area in Manchester. Second-hand houses were particularly popular. Selling was easy, but she had to find someone with a strong background. If Old Mrs. Qiao tried to play tricks later, there had to be someone capable of dealing with her.

She quickly got in touch with a buyer, someone with a dark background, and completed the procedures that day. Qiao Qiqi also contacted a moving company to move the stuff at night.

After everything was sorted, Qiao Qiqi thought of Old Mrs. Qiao and the scene of her uncle’s family being homeless, which made her feel refreshed!

She turned to look out the car window.

?

Qiao Qiqi saw a girl already climbing over the bridge’s railing, about to jump off.

"Stop the car!"

She shouted, startling the driver, who quickly slammed on the brakes. Qiao Qiqi pushed open the car door, jumped out, and ran towards the bridge.

But before she got close, the girl already leaped down. Below was a very wide and deep river.

Without any hesitation, Qiao Qiqi climbed over the railing and jumped down too.
