Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 571 - 555 Ji Li

Chapter 571: 555 Ji Li

Thirty billion?

That really is a lot of money.

When it comes to constructing a base, let alone thirty billion, even three billion would be more than enough.

And it’s been multiplied by ten, in a small region?

A typical provincial city’s GDP for half a year might not even surpass two hundred billion.

Thirty billion?

Jun Lii felt it was a bit of a loss, "The amount reported by the government?"

Too expensive.

Yan Yueqing shook her head, "I quoted the price myself."

Jun Lii opened his mouth but was silent, unable to speak.

Oh well...

The money’s been spent...

Though it’s a loss, if I just work a bit harder and earn back my wife’s losses, then there’s no need to remind her she got played to avoid her being in a bad mood for several days.

Yan Yueqing sounded surprised, "Do you think I suffered a loss?"

"No, I think you’re very bold."

Her veiled compliment made her laugh. She stretched out her hand and, holding his chin, gave him a quick kiss, "So, you still think I took a loss, huh? Don’t worry~ Even if I don’t understand pricing, there are always people around me who do, so I can’t be easily fooled~"

Seeing Jun Lii fall into thought again, she gently explained, "The main reason I invested thirty billion is that—I valued another project."

"Another project?"

"Yes, it’s another project I came across inadvertently while discussing the base. The base, well, cost me eight billion and the remaining twenty-plus billion went all into that project."

This was Yan Yueqing’s little secret, which she hadn’t shared with anyone.

Until today, she finally found someone she could confess her feelings to, "Ah Lii, when I came back, I brought with me many memories of the future."

"The future?"

"Yes. I once thought I had transmigrated into a book, but later I realized that this body is mine, the child is mine, including—" Her eyes brimmed with a hint of mirth, "this man before me, he’s mine too!"

Her sentence trailed off with a playful upward lilt, like a proud little cat perched high up.

Jun Lii’s eyes gradually warmed, following her lead, "Mhm, everything is yours."

Yan Yueqing composed herself and continued, "I’ve never quite understood the concept of the flow of time, but I have indeed returned from the distant future, aware of some developments and have foreknowledge about certain important individuals..."

When she was reading the book and feeling extremely frustrated, she flipped right back to the table of contents, curious to see if there were any other compelling points to follow.

The Chapter titles seemed intriguing. She randomly picked a few and indeed encountered some notable characters.

Qin Youran, leveraging the Jun family’s influence, had done a lot of charity work.

One of the boys mentioned was Ji Li, a phoenix rising from the poverty of his village.

Qin Youran’s casual assistance allowed the boy to finish elementary school. The book mentioned, "Her act of kindness unexpectedly cultivated a prominent tech mogul in the future, who led Hua Country’s technology to new heights."

Yan Yueqing still remembered how speechless she felt reading that plotline!

Great, it talked nothing about how the child strived and climbed, the author credited all causality to Qin Youran’s funding his elementary school education?

That’s far-fetched...

If Qin Youran even remembered this character and helped him through university, Yan Yueqing would have thought it reasonable!

Damn, finishing just an elementary school decides a person’s entire life?

Having been back for so long, she almost completely forgot about this!

Then, during the investment in the Shuicheng base project, Director Tang suddenly mentioned Canglong Village.

And Ji Li was from Canglong Village!

An outstanding child would shine no matter where they are.

Ji Li was exceptional enough to catch Director Tang’s attention.

In the barren mountain village, a dormant dragon lay, slowly absorbing energy, waiting to transform the world after his struggles.

The book had written that Ji Li later encountered significant trouble in his research studies, struggling to find a suitable base. It was only after returning to Canglong Village and discovering some unique substances that he soared in the world of scientific research.

Yan Yueqing was prepared to give him a helping hand!
