Inside the jewelry store.

Seeing the dazzling array of jewelry in the display case, several women excitedly ran over.

The sudden appearance of so many beautiful women amazed the store’s customers and staff, making them almost stare in disbelief.

"These earrings are so pretty."

"No, no, no, this one is better."

"Let’s have Zixuan help us check it out."

The women said, dragging Liu Zixuan over.

Looking at the earrings in front of him, Liu Zixuan scratched his head, "They all look nice. If you like them, buy them all."

"These earrings cost over eight thousand." Ying Qingning murmured with some difficulty.

"No worries, don’t save money for that guy," Bai Jingjing said directly to the sales clerk, "Wrap up all these sets."

The sales clerk was overjoyed, seeing the holiday approaching, and thinking if a lot is sold today, the year-end bonus would double.

Seeing the women like this, Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead, "Take it easy, I can’t afford all of you liking everything here!"

"We heard from Ruyan that your company is already listed, how could you possibly have no money?" The third sister An deliberately teased.

Speaking of Xiumei Group, Liu Zixuan suddenly remembered something.

Last time after auctioning items at the Ghost Market, the bank sent a message showing the account balance had only a few ten thousand left. According to the usual practice, Xiumei Group would send the previous month’s sales revenue at the beginning of each month.

But it was nearly mid-month, and still no message from the bank had been received.

Standing there pondering for a moment, Liu Zixuan went aside and checked on his phone. This was also to make sure in case last month’s sales weren’t credited, then the few tens of thousands in the account wouldn’t be enough for these beautiful ladies to spend.

By that time, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

After inputting the password and checking, Liu Zixuan stared in shock at the numbers.

"Damn it, this is deliberately trying to humiliate me!"

The bank card showed not millions, nor the usual extra of over ten million, but only twenty-four thousand nine hundred.

The earrings Bai Jingjing just asked to be wrapped would likely cost thirty to forty thousand.

Liu Zixuan, pinching his forehead with a helpless expression, hadn’t worried about money since leaving Qian Nan, due to earning along the way and Xiumei Group’s regular transfers, it was enough for him to splurge.

But recently it was only spending with no income avenues, and checking the bank statement revealed Xiumei Group also hadn’t transferred money recently.

Call Jiang Yiyi now to ask what’s going on? She’s been away from Ghost Wood City for a while, and probably hasn’t contacted them there, right? Asking for money right away would surely make Jiang Yiyi look down on him, wouldn’t it?

Temporary borrowing?

Liu Zixuan flipped through his phone contacts, everyone, whether these bigwigs in Celestial Capital or those elsewhere, could easily lend a few million to spend first.

But this put Liu Zixuan, who had never borrowed money, in a real dilemma.

Looking at the excited women, pondering telling them not to buy? That would definitely be a buzzkill.

A penny can stymie a hero, this old saying was truly apt right now.

Liu Zixuan walked to Liu Ruyan’s side, "You all keep looking, I’m going out for a smoke."

"Alright." Liu Ruyan replied casually, her mind entirely on the jewelry.

Liu Zixuan grinned, walked to the door, and casually lit a cigarette.

Picking up the phone, he found Xiaoliuye’s number and dialed, and it wasn’t long before the other side answered.

Xiaoliuye laughed, "Is this a sign of inviting me to dinner tonight?"

"Don’t mention dinner, I’m already stressed out!" Liu Zixuan smiled helplessly, "Liuyi, I’m in deep trouble, you have to do me a favor."

"Wow, helping the mighty Lord Zixuan of Celestial Capital is something others would want but can’t do." Xiaoliuye laughed playfully.

Liu Zixuan scolded good-naturedly, "You old geezer, go ahead, mock me now, someday I’ll coax your daughter away, and make you cry on the street!"

"Hahaha, don’t get mad, just tell me what you need." Xiaoliuye chuckled.

"Well, I’m on Glacier Road buying something, and I’m short on cash. Can you see if you can..."

"Oh, I thought it was something serious. Just wait there, I’ll send someone over in a bit." Xiaoliuye readily agreed.

After hanging up, Liu Zixuan took a few puffs on his cigarette, muttering discontentedly, "Damn, I even have to borrow money from someone, what’s the deal with that?"

In his helplessness, he also felt something wasn’t quite right.

With the new year approaching, Xiumei Group’s sales should be at their peak, and nearing year-end, the stock market ought to rise all the way up. How come no money was sent to him?

Jiang Yiyi wasn’t convenient to contact, and there was no way to contact the Xiumei Headquarters in Ghost Wood City, so it seemed only after returning tomorrow would he know what happened.

About seven or eight minutes later, an eye-catching pink Maserati stopped in front of the jewelry store.

Bei Meiyin, carrying a small bag, came out of it, wearing a slightly tight-fitting down jacket paired with sleek black stockings, exuding an allure that captivates men.

"You came personally?"

Liu Zixuan felt a bit embarrassed, thinking Xiaoliuye would send someone instead, so as not to embarrass himself in front of the ladies.

But now Bei Meiyin had come herself, wasn’t it like borrowing money from a great beauty?

Bei Meiyin chuckled, "I was right next to my dad when you called, so I just came over."

As she spoke, Bei Meiyin handed Liu Zixuan a bank card, "There’s fifty million in this card, is it enough?"

Liu Zixuan’s mouth twitched a few times, fifty million? Is it enough? Indeed, Lady Bei from Celestial Capital is generous.

"Oh wow, we’ve known each other so long, but this is the first time I’ve seen you blush, are you embarrassed?" Bei Meiyin teased as she noticed Liu Zixuan’s awkwardness.

"It’s my first time borrowing money, and from a great beauty like you, how could I not feel embarrassed?" Liu Zixuan said awkwardly.

"I remember you have thick skin, how come after a trip to Qian Nan it’s gotten so thin, that just fifty million could make you feel embarrassed?" Bei Meiyin teased playfully.

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow; after all, having a thick skin wasn’t something new, and he couldn’t let Bei Meiyin make fun of him like this.

Taking a deep breath, he reached out and lifted Bei Meiyin’s chin with a mischievous grin, "Lady Bei, for fifty million buying me for a night, once I pay the bill, I’m all yours tonight."

"Deal!" Surprisingly, Bei Meiyin agreed without hesitation...
