Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 301: They Are Engaged in Compensated Dating

When Xiao Song recalled the balance she’d seen in that bank card, she even suspected that her eyes were playing tricks on her. She had counted the numbers several times and felt that she must have seen two, no, three commas!

When the Maosheng Group was at its richest, it did not even have this much liquidity!

Didn’t they say that the Xue family was broke?!

He must be so poor that all he had left was money!

She could not even say that amount and had to silently mutter a few words in her heart before she could say it...

“What is it?”

Xue Gui could not help but say, “It’s not that it’s not enough, but there are other expenses, right? Brother, look at Xiao Song. She’s so anxious that she can’t speak. You should quickly accept the check!”

Xiao Song: “...”

Xue Sheng frowned and sighed as he stood up. “Just speak if you’re having any difficulties. I can handle it.”

It can’t be that something has happened at the laboratory again, right?

Last time, at least a few million was spent.

Where can I get this kind of money? If it doesn’t work out, should I sell my house first? I’d better sell my car. I really let Ye Li and Xue Xi down.

Just as Xue Sheng was feeling helpless, he heard Xiao Song gulp and say, “Yes, it’s because the card has too much money.”

Xue Gui: “?”

Xue Sheng: “?”

The two brothers felt that they were hearing things and turned to look at Xiao Song.

Xiao Song was still in a daze, as though she had never seen so much money in her life.

Xue Sheng coughed and carefully counted the money that should be in Xue Xi’s bank card. Other than the prize money from each subject, there should also be money from the competition.

Oh, right. I still haven’t counted the money she’d earned for acting...

Just a small supporting role could receive at most a few hundred thousand yuan, and that bonus was at most a million yuan... With this calculation, Xixi’s card might really have a million yuan.

There was indeed enough!

But Xiao Song should not be so frightened, right? Her annual salary was also a million!

Xue Gui was clearly scheming in his heart. He then smiled and said, “Big Brother, look at this special assistant of yours. She’s too short-sighted. She’s so frightened just because she’s seen some money. Secretary Xiao Song, how much do you think Xue Xi has?”

Xiao Song gulped and lowered her head to raise her fingers. After calculating, she said, “Ten...”

Xue Gui hurriedly asked, “Tens times a hundred thousand?”

Xiao Song nodded.

Just as Xue Gui was about to mock her, he heard Xiao Song say, “Ten times a hundred million.”

Xue Gui: “?”

Xue Gui was stunned, then he burst out laughing. “Xiao Song, do you think you’re still a child? Why are you messing up your words? Ten times 100,000 yuan is 1,000,000, and after that, you still only have 10,000,000 yuan... Don’t you know that when you stack that together, that’s how you get 100 million yuan? People who don’t know might even think that Xixi’s card has one billion yuan in it!”

Xiao Song: “... Yes.”

Xue Gui: “?”

Xue Sheng: “?”

He was stunned. “What did you say?”

With one billion to fight against, what chance was there for him?! Who would dare to look down on Xue Xi, who had such a huge sum of money as her dowry?

Xiao Song must have said something wrong!

Xue Gui was also stunned. “Are you kidding me?”

Xiao Song shook her head and respectfully passed the card to Xue Sheng. “Mr. Xue, the salary has been deducted from inside. The rest of the money... What do you think we should do?”

This was the first time she had paid her fellow employees in one go. Even after transferring more than 100,000 yuan, she felt that the balance in Xue Xi’s bank card had not changed much...

One billion.

She had never seen so much money in her life!

Xue Sheng sat down and hurriedly turned on the computer. “I’ll go take a look. It’s impossible for there to be so much. You must have calculated wrongly.”

However, when he went online and entered the online bank to look at the balance...

He was stunned.

Ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, ten million, a hundred million...

Xue Sheng could not help but rub his eyes. “Did I count too many commas?”

Xiao Song was confused. She was like this just now!

Xue Gui also rushed behind Xue Sheng and looked at the card... After counting a few times, Xue Gui could not help but gulp. “Mr. Xiang, you’re really rich!”

...

What a waste of money!

In the laboratory, Xue Xi looked at the experimental materials in front of her. They were all marked with prices and she could not help but sigh. How expensive!

Some rare materials were sold at a price of more than a million yuan. It was no wonder that Xue Sheng had spent tens of millions of yuan in just one month for it.

Research is really expensive.

She took out her things from her bag and placed them on the table. Then, she started to prepare for the experiment.

Chemistry was not something that could be achieved just by theorizing. It still needed to be explored many times. For example, changes that would only happen under high temperatures would have to be tested many times to determine the exact temperature.

Just as she finished preparing, she saw Xue Sheng knocking on the transparent glass wall outside the laboratory.

Xue Xi paused and put down her things. When she left, a researcher happened to enter to take something, so she did not mind.

Xue Xi walked out and saw Xue Sheng standing outside. He looked anxious and asked, “Xixi, the money in your card... Does it have something to do with Xiao Xiang?”

Xue Xi: “?”

She widened her misty eyes.

She had checked the balance in her card. There was a total of one billion yuan, and most of it was given to her by Qian Xin. She had never remembered the bits of income she was giving away.

But since Dad said this, could it be...

Xue Xi sighed. “Dad, you found out.”

Xue Sheng’s expression was solemn. “That’s right, Xixi. People can’t be casual, and you can’t be entangled with Xiao Xiang for money.”

Xue Xi revealed a troubled expression. “But I had an agreement with him!”

Xue Sheng: “?”

Xue Xi sighed. “Back then, when I asked him to be my boyfriend, I said that I had money and could provide for him. That was why he agreed. Hence, I give him 300 yuan a week... Dad, if you mind, I won’t provide for him anymore. Anyway, he should be very rich and doesn’t need my 300 yuan.”

Xue Sheng: “?”

He was stunned and only reacted after a while. “No, wait, you’re saying that your relationship with Xiao Xiang is not about him giving you money, but you giving him money?”

Xue Xi nodded coldly. “I’m keeping him. Of course I gave him money.”

Xue Sheng: “?”

His voice was trembling. “Daughter, tell me. Where did you get the money from?”

Xue Xi: “... It’s money I earned.”

Xue Sheng: “...”

What did you do to earn a billion in one go?

Xue Xi explained, “I helped Qian Xin calculate a math problem. He said that he’d give me 20% of the company’s shares, but I didn’t want it. Hence, he gave me a billion.”

Xue Sheng: “?”

He, who felt that his daughter had been taken advantage of by him, subconsciously said, “This is too much of a scam. How can a 20% share be only a billion?!”

Xue Xi nodded. “Then I’ll ask him for more next time.”

Xue Sheng: “You do that.”

Xue Sheng, who had been successfully carried away by his daughter, was so shocked that his mind could not function properly. Just as the two of them were in a daze, the chemistry professor in the laboratory walked over. “Mr. Xue.”

Xue Sheng nodded.

The professor sighed and said earnestly, “CEO Xue, actually, I have something to advise you. This D-acid is actually very hard to develop. Professor Ye’s lifetime of hard work has not given any result. We’ve been here for two months and can’t figure out anything. We can’t organize any detailed information. I advise you to give up on this research project.”

D-acid?

Xue Xi was stunned and instinctively looked at the professor.
