Two hours later.
Gao Liyuan finally finished listening to Yang Jingying's brief explanation.
It was absolutely ridiculous!
It was like the ridiculous family opening the door for ridiculousness.
Good heavens!
She wondered how Lin Fan had coincidentally found her to help with his tasks.
Turns out, everything had been arranged all along!
If it hadn't been for that incident with the volcanic mud skincare product that screwed Lin Fan over,
she wouldn't have deleted him from her contacts.
After all, she had already cut ties with her family.
Out in the world,
if you don't hustle for money,
you'll starve.
If nothing unexpected happens,
the main problem lies with Xu Mo.
In this lifetime, she could hear Xu Mo's inner thoughts!
It was like a domino effect.
One move triggers a chain reaction!
The most crucial part was that there were actually seven or eight female leads!
And that's just the known ones.
Who knows how many more there were like her, unknown to the world.
In her heart, Gao Liyuan cursed the dog author who created this world to hell and back.
One or two would have been enough.
Why so many?
Wasn't this just adding unnecessary difficulty for her?
Starting off with nightmare difficulty.
How was she supposed to play this game?
Gao Liyuan's mouth hung wide open.
When in doubt, take a sip of soda to calm the nerves.
Yang Jingying, on the other hand, took a sip of tea and then calmly said, "I've told you everything you wanted to know. In exchange, do me a favor."
"What favor?" Gao Liyuan asked curiously.
Yang Jingying: "I want you to hack into Zhou Qiaoqiao's electronic devices and see where she's investing her funds."
Gao Liyuan smiled shyly, somewhat embarrassed.
"That... that doesn't seem very appropriate, does it?"
Yang Jingying's face darkened. "You hacked into my computer and phone without my consent! Besides, I'm not asking you to do anything shady."
Huh?
Do you have some misunderstanding about what "shady" means?
This is shady by definition.
Gao Liyuan: I suspect you're blatantly lying, and I have proof.
"Ahem... I apologize for what happened before."
After a pause, Gao Liyuan said firmly, "I'm a woman of principle!"
"I'll pay you!"
Yang Jingying laid her cards on the table.
Money talks!
Where does a hacker's income come from?
From taking on jobs.
Gao Liyuan had just said it herself.
She's a law-abiding woman.
So she doesn't earn dirty money.
But dealing with a female antagonist?
Is that really dirty money?
This is called forming a united front.
With that said,
she handed over the money.
Yang Jingying immediately regretted it.
Gao Liyuan's hacking skills were so impressive.
Even if she didn't have jobs every day,
one big job would be enough to sustain an ordinary person for a long time.
Even if she spent lavishly,
she'd still have savings.
Ah... money isn't everything.
The next moment,
Yang Jingying felt she had overestimated Gao Liyuan.
"How much?"
Gao Liyuan's tone did a complete 180.
Her lips curled into a sincere, trustworthy smile.
Sssssss!
Yang Jingying sucked in a sharp breath.
Heh... I didn't expect you to be this kind of woman.
And you call yourself a female lead?
Alright then.
Looks like she's not much of a competitor.
Gao Liyuan was stunned. Had her true nature been exposed?
Heh... spit...
That was just a reflex, it doesn't count.
"Ahem... Miss Yang, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously."
Gao Liyuan laughed it off.
"I do take it seriously! Very seriously!"
Yang Jingying's eyelid twitched.
Gao Liyuan said with a straight face, "Occupational hazard, occupational hazard."
No matter what Yang Jingying said after that,
Gao Liyuan remained unmoved.
Yang Jingying rubbed her slightly throbbing temples.
She muttered to herself in frustration,
"Even now, I still can't figure out Zhou Qiaoqiao's scheme. Xu Mo is in danger."
Hmm?
Zhou Qiaoqiao's scheme?
Related to Xu Mo?
This instantly piqued Gao Liyuan's interest.
"What's Zhou Qiaoqiao's scheme? Is it about Xu Mo?"
"Ah... right, I forgot to tell you."
Yang Jingying slapped her forehead. It's all been too hectic lately.
She hadn't been prioritizing properly.
What was the purpose of these vixens getting close to Xu Mo?
It was despicable!
They wanted to ruin Xu Mo's health.
What's more important, Xu Mo or money?
Of course, both Xu Mo and money are important.
By controlling Xu Mo,
you indirectly control the wealth code!
Yang Jingying wasn't short on money.
But that didn't mean the other female leads weren't!
Then,
Yang Jingying gave Gao Liyuan a rough overview of the current situation.
The common enemy,
and who the other female leads were.
If you want the horse to run,
you have to feed it.
Thank heavens.
Luckily, Gao Liyuan came to her first.
She had gained a useful ally.
For her, it was a very profitable deal.
Once Xu Mo was secured,
he could be discarded.
Everything was paving the way for the future.
Gao Liyuan understood.
"Wow! Zhou Qiaoqiao is dominating the scene!"
"No wonder the other female leads are teaming up."
"Not only does she have a marriage with Xu Mo, but she also has some big secret."
Involving Xu Mo,
this was something she couldn't ignore.
Since she was already helping,
the money...
Gao Liyuan hesitated for a moment, then said sheepishly,
"Sister, do you have any money? I'm a bit short lately."
"But don't misunderstand, sister. It's just that when I see money, my efficiency doubles!"
"Once the matter is resolved, I'll return the money in full!"
Gao Liyuan was a year and a half younger than Yang Jingying.
And she was also a latecomer.
The female leads' power was unevenly distributed.
Aside from Zhou Qiaoqiao,
only Yang Jingying's faction was worth considering.
A big tree provides good shade.
Calling Yang Jingying "sister"
wasn't a bad deal.
Yang Jingying: ..........
Old habits die hard.
Yang Jingying tearfully accepted this "phoenix chick." "Later, add me on WeChat and send me your bank account number. I'll transfer 100 million to you!"
These days,
Yang Group's stock had multiplied several times over!
She had made a lot of money.
In a little while,
they would break into the global market!
Unstoppable!
The skincare products recognized worldwide—this cake was too big!
So 100 million,
for Yang Jingying at this moment, was nothing!
Mainly because Gao Liyuan was worth it!
She could silently hack into her computer and phone.
Wasn't that skill enough?
Her electronic devices were professionally protected.
Even so, they were like paper walls.
Not to mention ordinary people with no protection at all.
For Gao Liyuan, hacking into their devices was child's play.
"Sister, what do you take me for?"
"Actually, you don't need to give that much. Just a few million as motivation would be fine."
"And after it's done, I'll return it all anyway."
"You're transferring too much, it's making me a bit embarrassed."
Yang Jingying nodded. "Will it cause you trouble? Like the bank investigating? But don't worry, with my status, they won't investigate you."
Gao Liyuan shook her head like a rattle drum, voicing her concerns.
"That's not what I meant, sister. I'm not afraid of being investigated! It's just that this amount is too much..."
Yang Jingying: "If I say I'll give it to you, then I'll give it to you. Don't feel embarrassed. Just get the job done! After it's finished, meet me tonight. I'll introduce you to the other female leads."
Gao Liyuan's body trembled. Had she found her tribe?
"I promise to complete the mission assigned by the organization!"
After holding it in for a long time, Yang Jingying's face turned green as she finally blurted out,
"......Do you have chuunibyou or something?"
