Chapter 282: Chapter 282 - Everyone’s Plans
The last question crumbled Song Meng’s defenses . Song Meng had no discipline . There was a reason why she never partook in any games or gambling . She was afraid she would drown in them .
“How much did you earn?” Song Meng picked up an apple and chomped down on it angrily .
“Two million . ” Li Xiangling didn’t hide it either .
Song Meng stopped eating the apple . She paused for a long while . “T… two million yuan? You made two million in a year with a hundred thousand as your capital?” Song Meng was incredulous .
Li Xiangling nodded . “I started studying this in Grade 11 . I only buy those I know will make money . I did face some blips along the way, but it ended well . ”
This was Li Xiangling’s first time buying stocks . She wasn’t confident in bringing Song Meng along for the ride . She didn’t need to bring Yun Xiangxiang . The actress didn’t need this money .
Li Xiangling understood Yun Xiangxiang . She was a goody-two-shoes who wouldn’t get into stocks . That was why she didn’t tell Yun Xiangxiang the reason she borrowed the money .
“Who do you need so much money for?” Just like how Li Xiangling knew her, Yun Xiangxiang knew Li Xiangling too .
Li Xiangling wasn’t someone who would risk herself for money . If she did this, she must have a reason for it .
“I’ll be applying to be a law graduate student at Yale during my junior year,” Li Xiangling laid out her plan . “I’ll be preparing for that in the next two years . I won’t have time to make money, so I need to prepare the necessary capital during my freshman year .
She would apply in her junior year and go there after graduation . There was only one year between them . Li Xiangling had to make sure her grades were outstanding in her first three years of university . Not to mention she had to take IELTS and a bunch of other tests .
She went for an internship during the winter holidays last year . This year’s summer break would be the last vacation she gave herself .
The apple Song Meng was holding fell to the ground . She looked at Li Xiangling in astonishment . “Are you talking about Yale, the world’s top university for law?” Song Meng asked hesitatingly .
“Xiangxiang made me understand that if I decided to do my best, then I must shoot for the moon,” Li Xiangling smiled at Yun Xiangxiang .
“Oh god . You’re a future superstar . ” Song Meng pointed at Yun Xiangxiang . And then she looked at Li Xiangling . “And you’re going to be a star in the world of law . You girls make me feel inferior . ”
“You can also study abroad,” said Li Xiangling .
Song Meng shook her head quickly . “Forget it . Passing is good enough for me . I don’t even want to try to shoot for any scholarships . The entrance exam drained me . I’m your average girl living her average life . ”
Song Meng knew where she stood . She wasn’t someone ambitious, nor did she want to suffer .
Of course, she wouldn’t live life as great as her friends . But she wouldn’t envy them either . Song Meng’s plan for her life was to have enough food, beautiful clothes to wear, and cute boys to ogle at .
Being a decent agent was her ideal goal .
“Do your best, Xiangling . Don’t dabble in stocks after this, okay?” Yun Xiangxiang knew Li Xiangling could discipline herself, but she still had to remind her .
“Yes, I won’t get into the stock market anymore,” Li Xiangling nodded thoughtfully .
Li Xiangling had a decent outcome . She did a lot of research before making this investment . She was trying to see what her future held .
She still had a pot of precious orchid, which could be sold for two hundred thousand yuan . If her stock investment failed, she would sell the pot of orchid to return the money to Yun Xiangxiang .
She would reserve the remaining money to create a business after graduation . She would stop after getting her bachelor’s degree .
But if she succeeded in getting the capital, Li Xiangling would have no more worries . The only thing she needed to do was to see how far she could go with her best efforts .
Yun Xiangxiang brought four more people aside from her girlfriends on this trip to Paris . They were: Song Qian, Ai Li, Coco, and Zhou Jie .
He Wei went with her too . He was worried about Yun Xiangxiang going there alone . She still had the interview and collaboration to think about .
Wang Yong stayed back with Qian Yongnian and Qian Qian . Wang Yong would take care of their meals .
After all the arrangements were made, Yun Xiangxiang and her group flew toward Paris .
No matter how many people didn’t believe in Hou Cang’s story, the fact was immutable . He had given enough evidence to back up his testimonial . It did affect him, but not much . Yun Xiangxiang hoped that the industry wouldn’t lose such a strong actor .
The news after that was unrelated to her . On the first day of her trip to Paris, Milles came to welcome them himself .
Paris was a beautiful city . Yun Xiangxiang did come here a few times in her past life for some endorsement business, but she didn’t stay long .
Milles arranged accommodation for them . When they had dinner together that night, Milles told Yun Xiangxiang that she would start work after two days .
“First Love” had already started filming . Since Yun Xiangxiang’s scenes didn’t clash with the main plot, they had filmed one-third of both protagonists’ parts .
Milles gave Yun Xiangxiang two days of rest to get rid of the jetlag so that she could enter the filming in her best form .
“Take a day off tomorrow and ask Song Qian to take you on tour around the vineyards .
The nightly routine didn’t change . When Song Mian knew Yun Xiangxiang had nothing to do for the next two days, he gave her some suggestions .
“Is it your family’s vineyard?” Yun Xiangxiang was unsure .
“No, but it’s technically the same thing,” Song Mian grinned . “It belongs to Ah Jun’s family . He’s in Paris now too . ”
“Oh, that’s great then . I have never seen your childhood friend before . I can take this chance to ask him to be my host,” Yun Xiangxiang was happy .
She had been to a vineyard in El Dorado . The grapevines had already bore fruit, but it wasn’t ripe yet . She wondered if the grapes in Paris were ripe .
She would bring her girlfriends out for fun before she started her work .
“Oh yeah! I have always wanted to see the vineyards here . Do they have a winery?” Song Meng exclaimed happily .
Yun Xiangxiang nodded with a smile . Li Xiangling was looking forward to it too . Most people would look forward to things they had never experienced before .
Someone added Yun Xiangxiang on WeChat before she slept . The username was: The Man who Challenges the Blacklist .
The profile picture showed a big, black spider . It looked terrifying . The user introduced himself as, “I’m Song Mian’s lover!”
Yun Xiangxiang snapshotted it to Song Mian . It seemed like Qi Jun didn’t learn anything from that kick last time . Even so, Yun Xiangxiang accepted his friend request .
Qi Jun immediately messaged her . [Oh my, my noble lady lets me through . I am Song Mian’s lover, you know?!]
[En, and I’m the woman who’s trying to snatch him away from you . Want to fight?]
Yun Xiangxiang played along .
[Great personality . I love it, my noble lady . You know, you can consider changing your partner to me . I understand women more than Song Mian does . ]
[Ah, so you’re trying to get my boyfriend to be single again . You’re trying to snatch me away, dump me, and then make Song Mian single for life just like you . ]
[{} You found me out . You’re smart, my noble lady . ]
[I wouldn’t be able to steal your man if I’m wasn’t, right, Young Master Qi?]
[Oh oh oh, my noble lady . I like you more and more . I can’t wait to see you tomorrow{}]
[See you tomorrow . ]
Yun Xiangxiang logged out of WeChat and smiled . One of Song Mian’s childhood friends was a man of few words, while the other was a funny guy .
It seemed like Song Mian had a lively childhood .
Song Mian sent her a message . [Get some rest . The best way to fight against someone who is helplessly deluded is to ignore them . ]
