"Working as a designer on that project in Crossing City, the design fee is 20 million. No need to clock in, meetings can be scheduled according to my time, and I can also receive an advance on my salary."

"Cough…" Qin Yuezhi was choked directly. After finally recovering, the first thing she said was: "Are you stupid? Such a good job, why are you even considering it? Just agree, what boss is so awesome and generous… Cross the city, cross the city," she muttered twice, then looked at Shen Wanci with a suggestive face, blinking her eyes: "Isn't this Nie family's project? Was it Nie Yucheng who hired you?"

"Is the design fee too high?"

Shen Wanci didn't understand that industry. If the salary was really outrageously high, then she wouldn't go.

Although she is short of money, she doesn't want to make it this way.

“Well, it’s not too high. You have your worth there. If the program airs well and gets a good response, then you'll be famous. You can even use that to attract customers when you open your business,” Qin Yuezhi said, propping her chin up and analyzing, “But this kind of thing is priceless. After all, you’re not an expert. Large-scale ancient architecture projects are rare, so this is a fantastic opportunity, one you can’t miss.”

She saw that Shen Wanci had been drinking a few sips while she was speaking, so she snatched the wine from her hand: "Grand Lady, drink less. I really don't want to see you drunk again. Quickly send Nie Dacaishen a message and tell him you're going, don't be late and let someone else take the opportunity."

Having made her decision, Shen Wanci didn't hesitate and immediately sent a message to Nie Yucheng.

The other party estimated that they were just playing on their phone and replied quickly: "Tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock, come to the company to sign the contract, and send me the bank card."

"Let's wait until the project officially starts before making any advance payments."

Since the contract hasn't been signed yet, she doesn't have that much face.

"Deposit."

With Nie YuCheng saying that, Shen WanCi had no choice but to send her bank card information. A few minutes later, she received a transfer of ten million yuan.

"...."

Qin Yuezhi watched the whole thing, reached out and poked Shen Wanci's arm, and said jokingly, "Ask Mr. Nie if he has any brothers to introduce to me? I'm available."

"Yes, Bo Jingzhou."

Qin Yuezhi sneered, "At least we're sisters. Why would you push me into the fire pit? Are you jealous that my flower quota is higher than yours?"

As soon as the money arrived, Shen Wanci immediately transferred it to Bo Jingzhou. She had a limit, and could only transfer 500,000 yuan at a time, so she transferred a total of one million yuan in two transfers, reaching her daily limit.

……

Yu Ting Courtyard.

Bo Jingzhou heard his phone vibrate. He glanced up and saw a text message from the bank about a deposit. He didn't intend to pay attention, but when he saw the amount, his brows furrowed slightly.

Five hundred thousand?

Nobody would wire him such a small amount of money.

Clicking on it, it was indeed turned by Shen Wanci.

He stared at the text message and asked Gu Chenye, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, "What did you just say?"

"You said you and Yu Cheng had a falling out, so I have to invite guests twice for the New Year. Don't time mean anything to you?"

"Did you run into Shen Wanci at the golf course today?"

"Didn't you say you weren't interested in the whereabouts of unimportant people, so I shouldn't tell you? What? Now you're interested?"

Bo Jingzhou looked at the two transfer records, his stern face lost its temperature all at once, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and he said softly, "Did you make an appointment with Nie Yucheng to play golf today?"

"Are you fucking stupid? Didn't I call you this morning? You didn't even go yourself," Gu Chenye frowned. Seeing him staring at his phone like it was an ancestral tablet, he looked utterly dejected. "What are you looking at? Did Shen Wanci send you a wedding invitation for her second marriage?"

"She gave me one million."

Gu Chenye was stunned for a moment before reacting. He understood that Shen Wanci was returning the money to Bo Jingzhou: "It's been transferred, so what? Wasn't it you who asked someone to repay the debt? Now that it's repaid, you're not happy?"

Bo Jingzhou: "She has no money."

It hadn't been long since she had thrown a bank card worth 10 million yuan at him. Back then, he suspected the origin of the money and even checked her bank statements and balance. In the end, he confirmed that it was Qin Yuezhi who lent her the money, and that she herself only had a little living expenses left in her card.

How soon could she pay him back one million dollars?

And as if by coincidence, after seeing Nie Yu Cheng in the morning, I had money in the evening.

Gu Chenye: "If you don't have money, you can't prevent others from making money, can you? She's a pretty famous antique restorer, she should be able to make a good living."

Bo Jingzhou: "Do you think restoring cultural relics is like laying eggs? One a day, at least one takes several months to repair. With her salary in Beijing Yuan, she could barely afford to feed your dog. The world of cultural relic restoration values seniority, and these are accumulated over time. At her age, she's just slightly better than her peers." Gu Chenye was in a bad mood today, otherwise he wouldn't have come to find Bo Jingzhou for a drink in the middle of the night, speaking with sarcasm: "That has nothing to do with you. What does an ex-husband care so much? Even if she spent the money selling herself, it has nothing to do with you. If you are lonely, find a woman to date. I don't think Miss Shen has any thoughts of reuniting with you."

"…" Bo Jingzhou finally took his gaze away from his phone, falling languidly on Gu Chenye: "You can get lost, I'll be expecting the two bottles of alcohol you drank back tomorrow."

……

The next day.

Shen Wanci got up early and went to the DNA paternity testing center to get the results. The sample was sent last year, through an acquaintance, with expedited processing.

She took the paper bag handed to her by the staff member, but instead of opening it directly, she walked over to a nearby bench and sat down.

On her first day at the assessment center, there were hardly any people around. The gleaming glass reflected her numb face, devoid of any expression.

She thought she had made ample preparations, but when the time came, she realized that no amount of preparation could truly make her immune to feeling anything at this moment.

Shen Wanci carefully untied the string wound around the paper bag in a circle.

The phone suddenly rang.

Her tense body slightly relaxed, even letting out a breath.

It was Shen Zhengan who called.

"Shen Wanci, why are you still fighting with Jingzhou?" Shen Zhen'an hadn't called Shen Wanci this past while because he knew her personality was stubborn and she needed to figure things out on her own. He also knew that even couples need some time to cool off after an argument.

Although Bao Jingzhou said last time that he needed to repay the debt, he never followed up. He thought it was just empty threats and planned to take his wife and daughter on vacation yesterday. This morning, a lawyer came knocking.

"Are you trying to kill your father? You ungrateful wretch."

Shen Wanci heard the furious voice of Shen Zhengan on the other end, and she slightly curled her lips. She felt an infinite surge of courage, even a little impatient to see the result: "Dad, do you know where I am now?"

"...Where?"

"The DNA Paternity Testing Center just got the test results..."
