35: Worried Wealth

They arrived at the private room, and the dishes were served one after another.

During the meal, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning work; after all, no one wanted to work while eating.

Gao Ying had undergone etiquette training, and every move she made at the dining table was a feast for the eyes.

"Sister Ying, is this table etiquette your family's etiquette?" Xi Yutang couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, this is just the most basic etiquette. I've also been trained in international etiquette since I was a child.

I can be more casual in front of friends, but when working outside, I still need to show respect to others." Gao Ying put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a napkin before explaining to her.

"I thought the etiquette I learned since childhood was strict enough, but I didn't expect you to have learned even more than us.

I really admire you so much." Xi Yutang looked at her with stars in her eyes.

"It's nothing to admire. Anyone who is raised this way from a young age will develop it as a habit.

Since I enjoy the conveniences brought by the family, I must also accept the rules brought by the family.

Speaking of which, I'm also quite helpless. The rule my family gave me is to spend money.

The elders gave me unlimited wealth to start a business.

They also warned me that I can only seek help from the family's industries during the most difficult times.

It's really too hard for me."

Gao Ying looked troubled; she was taking the opportunity today while they were all present to give a general overview of her situation.

Not to mention that she didn't know about the other industries of the Langhuan Gao Residence, even if she did, they weren't under her name yet.

Although she had spent two days with Xi Yan and the others, they would definitely conduct a background check on her once they returned to the Imperial Capital.

So it was better to strike first. That way, when they found out she only had the Ding Tian Auction House and a charitable organization under her name, they wouldn't suspect anything.

"Sister Ying, I'm tired of saying the word 'Versailles' today.

Unlimited wealth to support your entrepreneurship—that's just too wonderful." Xi Yutang's voice was full of envy.

"Little Ying, I actually have an investment here that you might be interested in," Xi Yan said after a moment of reflection.

"What investment?" Gao Ying looked at him with interest.

"It's regarding medicine. If you're interested, we can find a place to talk properly after dinner," Xi Yan didn't hide it, seeing her interest.

"Young Master Xi, the medical investment you mentioned is cancer research, right? I've heard a bit about it," Fu Sheng put down his teacup and looked at him.

Xi Yan: "Indeed, this research is showing some promise, but the funding is about to run out. The Xi Family has been investing in this project for a long time, so we don't plan to give up."

"Unfortunately, I've invested in another medical project, so the funds I have on hand probably can't be invested in your cancer project."

The reason Fu Sheng was in a wheelchair now was that he suffered from motor neuron disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

There is no clear cause for this disease yet; patients simply lose their mobility gradually.

The most cruel part is that the whole body cannot move while the mind remains clear; this is the greatest blow to a patient's spirit.

[Sister, the system mall has medicine that can treat Fu Sheng's illness.] Fugui spoke up at this moment.

"Does Fu Sheng have something you want?" Gao Ying asked back.

[Doesn't Sister want to build a career? With Fu Sheng's help, starting a company will be much smoother.

Your career can't just be limited to Jiangcheng. According to the standard of a god-level tycoon, it should at least span the whole world.

China is the first target.

Sister, don't forget what you promised me: to help me collect all the emotions and help me level up ten times.

I even want to meet my online friend in person!] Fugui's voice carried a hint of bashfulness at the end.

"You're just a system, and yet you want to learn to fall in love like a human!" Gao Ying exclaimed.

[Hmph, don't look down on us systems. We've experienced much more than you humans and know much more than you do.

Once I transform into human form, I'll be no different from a human. So you must work hard to spend money and let me have a beautiful romance as soon as possible!]

"Fine, I get it. Now, mute yourself."

Gao Ying was spacing out, but no one at the table said anything; they continued eating.

"Young Master Fu, actually, my family can treat your illness." Gao Ying looked at him with a serious expression.

Hearing her words, Fu Sheng subconsciously tightened his grip on the teacup, the veins on his hand becoming faintly visible.

"Miss Gao, I have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; it's not an ordinary disease. For this illness, I personally flew abroad and found the most authoritative experts.

At most, they can only help me delay the onset of symptoms; they cannot completely cure it." Fu Sheng stared at her as he spoke.

"Yes, I know, but this condition is not a big deal for my family." Gao Ying remained calm and composed under his gaze.

"If Miss Gao can truly cure my illness, I will agree to any request, no matter what it is.

If you take a liking to the Fu Family's industries, I can even offer them to you with both hands." Fu Sheng was very sincere.

"The Fu Family's industries aren't much in Shanghai; I'm actually more interested in the AL Group.

The AL Group has just emerged in recent years and has been unstoppable.

Many people want to know who the chairman behind the AL Group is. Do you think I can meet him?

Young Master Fu?" Gao Ying looked at him with a beaming smile.

"Heh!

As expected, I can't hide it from Miss Gao. Yes, I am the person operating behind the scenes of the AL Group.

However, the Fu Corporation also helped a lot. With it as the vanguard, my group was able to become famous in one fell swoop." Fu Sheng also directly admitted that the AL Group was his.

"Actually, I'm quite interested in the Holographic games your group is currently researching.

I want to invest in this project. To show my sincerity, how about an initial investment of 10 billion?" Gao Ying asked.

"Miss Gao is truly generous; I accept the investment." Of course, Fu Sheng wouldn't refuse an investor.

"Good, Young Master Fu is straightforward. I will have someone from my family bring the medicine for your illness as soon as possible."

Saying that, Gao Ying made a phone call right in front of them.

"Your Highness, have you run out of money? I'll have the Great Elder transfer another ten quadrillion to your account." As soon as the call connected, a heavy yet kindly voice came from the other end.

Gao Ying: ... Gao Ying almost failed to control her expression upon hearing this voice. This Fugui really knew how to add drama.

"Ahem, Elder Yao, I know a friend who has a disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Please have someone send the medicine over."

"Stinky Fugui, act normal for me."

Fearing he would say more, Gao Ying quickly communicated with him via brainwaves.

However, Fugui didn't listen to her.

"Hahaha, Your Highness, is your friend a Young gentleman?

Is your old habit acting up again? Can't walk away when you see a handsome Young gentleman?

Don't worry, as long as Your Highness has taken an interest in him, I can cure him no matter what illness he has.

Just don't forget to invite me when you two get married..."

Gao Ying hurriedly hung up the phone, not daring to even lift her head.

"Fugui!" she roared in her mind.

[Oh, Sister, no need to be polite. Fu Sheng is so handsome; I definitely have to help you keep him.] Fugui said with a chuckle.

"Shut up!" Gao Ying threw him directly into the little black room.
