111: Wishing Well (I)

“Li Youqian, I’ve already sent someone to handle the procedures.”

“You should be able to get them this afternoon.”

It’s good to have connections in the officialdom; ten extra “people” appeared out of nowhere, and it was resolved with a single phone call.

“Thank you, Zhou Yushen.”

“Oh, by the way, Zhou Yushen, I just bought a private jet and plan to go to the grasslands for a few days. Want to come along?”

A private jet?

Didn’t this guy just buy a yacht not long ago?

Is the Li Family really this generous to its direct descendants?

Giving out billions in pocket money!

“I won’t go. I’ve been grounded by my father recently.”

Uh… It’s pitiful for descendants of big families; they’re in their twenties or thirties, yet they’re still grounded.

“Alright then, I won’t insist.”

After bidding farewell to Zhou Yushen, Li Youqian returned to his small home.

Having nothing to do, Li Youqian decided to start a live stream to give his fans a little shock~

“System, charge all the balance I’ve accumulated these past few days into Douyin.”

[....]

[How many days has it been since you last recharged?]

That’s a good question… he also forgot.

[Forget it, I won’t think about it. Let’s just say 300 million. I’m not short on money~]

[It’s charged. I even rounded it up for you.]

...

“Hello, brothers, long time no see.”

After a long time, Li Youqian opened his live stream again, then casually turned off the gift donations.

He no longer cared for these small sums.

[(70) I Love Free Stuff entered the live stream.]

[(52) Wind Forest Grass Wood entered the live stream.]

[(75) Ting Hai entered the live stream.]

[(75) NvZongcai Jiadao entered the live stream.]

...

[(75) NvZongcai Jiadao: “Oh, you still remember you have a live stream, huh?”]

[(75) Ting Hai: “This is my first time seeing President Qian go live.”]

[(70) I Love Free Stuff: “Commander, if you don’t go live again, I’ll reach max level!!!”]

[(52) Wind Forest Grass Wood: “How dare you say that? Every time you encounter a beautiful girl, you have to share her with me, causing my personal stash to shrink rapidly.”]

[(70) I Love Free Stuff: “We’re the left and right guardians, so if there’s anything good, I definitely have to share it with you!”]

[(63) A Cigarette After Sex: “Sigh, I’ve also been poisoned by these perverts.”]

“Why are you guys spending so fiercely?”

“Free Stuff is one thing, after all, this guy is rich. But Feng Lin, what’s wrong with you?”

“Where does a college student get so much money?”

[(52) Wind Forest Grass Wood: “No more spending, no more spending. If I spend any more, my New Year’s money will be gone.”]

[(52) Wind Forest Grass Wood: “Huh, President Qian, why did you turn off gift donations?”]

[(70) I Love Free Stuff: “Exactly, exactly! I want to be your top donor!!!”]

[(75) Ting Hai: “Cough cough, I haven’t been the Commander’s top donor yet. Let me do it this time.”]

[(75) NvZongcai Jiadao: “I’ll just quietly watch you guys without saying anything.”]

[Hahahahaha, Daxiaojie: You’re all trash.]

[If my Daxiaojie wants to be the top donor, who can beat her?]

[Just asking, why is Female CEO called Daxiaojie?]

[Because her previous ID was Miss Da Xiao.]

“Alright, brothers, I won’t open gift donations. You can give up on that idea.”

Open donations? Don’t even think about it.

“Today, we’re going to do a special program: the Wishing Well.”

“You can guess how many Douyin coins I have now. If you guess correctly, you can come up and make a wish.”

“Of course, wishes can’t be too outrageous!!”

[(75) Ting Hai: “Two billion?”]

[(70) I Love Free Stuff: “Based on my understanding of President Qian, it’s definitely more than two billion.”]

[(75) NvZongcai Jiadao: “Since he said that, it’s definitely more than two billion. Ten billion?”]

[(13) Seeking a Miraculous Elixir: “It can’t be twenty billion, right…”]

[Getting more and more ridiculous…]

[Twenty billion, do you know what concept that is? Two billion RMB!!]

[My goodness, even Douyin’s CEO, Mr. Zhang, wouldn’t dare to have twenty billion Douyin coins in his backpack!]

[I estimate it’s only forty or fifty billion.]

[About that, after all, President Qian has already spent forty or fifty billion Douyin coins.]

“Congratulations to the netizen named ‘Seeking a Miraculous Elixir,’ you guessed correctly, it is twenty billion.”

Although he didn’t know if he just said it casually, since he answered correctly, Li Youqian naturally wouldn’t be stingy.

Moreover, looking at that username, there’s probably a story behind it.

[!!!]

[My goodness, such a niche number!]

[No way, President Qian, are you serious??]

[Twenty billion!! Holy cow!]

[President Qian, if it’s really not working out, you should run away quickly. You can’t spend money like this!!]

[Cough cough, I fully believe in President Qian’s character, but twenty billion… I really can’t help but think more.]

[(13) Seeking a Miraculous Elixir: “Really? I just said it casually!”]

“Is it convenient to connect? I’d like to hear your story.”

[Uh… Actually, I wanted to say something earlier, but I didn’t expect President Qian to notice.]

[If there are real difficulties, I can contribute my part.]

[+1+1.]

Meeting is fate. If he has difficulties, Li Youqian doesn’t mind helping.

He can’t help everyone, nor is he that selfless.

But if he encounters it, he’ll help if he can.

[(13) Seeking a Miraculous Elixir: “No problem.”]

“Hello, President Qian.”

A female voice full of laughter came through; he didn’t expect it to be a young woman.

“Hello, hello.”

“Originally, I didn’t want to bother you, but I saw your ID, so…”

Li Youqian regretted it a bit after bringing her up. Such a thing, bringing up someone’s painful past, is still very awkward.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Since I chose this ID, I’m bound to be noticed.”

“Actually, it’s nothing much, just a minor illness.”

“Just pancreatic cancer.”

Pancreatic cancer… the king of cancers.

Patients basically have no chance of survival.

The mortality rate is as high as 98.46%!

[Pancreatic cancer…]

[Sigh, my maternal grandfather passed away because of pancreatic cancer.]

[This disease… indeed a minor illness, it just takes a small life.]

[Such a young woman, how did she get such a disease?]

“What did the doctor say? Is there a possibility of recovery?”

Li Youqian was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.

“Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’ve come to terms with it.”

“Rather than draining my family’s savings for a slim chance of survival, I’d rather enjoy life to the fullest in my remaining time.”

“After all, even if I’m cured, I won’t live much longer.”

Her tone was very optimistic, but it was precisely this optimism that made one’s heart ache.

“Do you have any other wishes?”

Although pancreatic cancer isn’t the cancer with the highest mortality rate, the reason it’s called the “King of Cancers” is that even if cured, patients usually don’t live long.

It could be as short as three to five years, or as long as ten to twenty years, with very few exceptions.

“A wish…”

“I hope my parents can always be healthy and happy.”
