After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

“Tomorrow is Li Manni’s grandpa’s eightieth birthday celebration.”

“Let’s go together to wish him a happy birthday!”

Ye Wei said outright.

“How do you know about this?”

Huang Qing asked with a puzzled face.

“It’s actually quite a coincidence.”

“Maybe it’s fate…”

“So I think, we can go and celebrate!”

Ye Wei explained how she had gotten the news.

“So we’re going without being invited?”

“That doesn’t seem right!”

Huang Qing hesitated. She did want to see Yang Hao, having not seen him for a long time.

But, the problem was, no one had invited them to Li Manni’s grandpa’s birthday, and it felt somewhat inappropriate to go uninvited.

“How could we be going uninvited? I’ve already thought of the reason.”

“We’re good sisters with Lulu. Isn’t it normal to attend her grandpa’s eightieth birthday celebration?”

Ye Wei felt she was incredibly smart, her voice even carried a hint of laughter, and she was just short of directly asking Huang Qing to praise her!

Huang Qing nodded. That indeed was a good excuse.

Moreover, going to wish a friend’s elder a happy birthday is generally welcomed by the family, especially when it is someone influential like Huang Qing, who would definitely add luster to the family’s celebration.

“Qing, can you now put aside your work?”

Ye Wei asked with a smile.

“Hmm, come to the Haojue Club!”

Huang Qing responded and then hung up the phone. She immediately called her assistant, “Prepare a generous birthday gift right away.”

“Hmm, the more generous, the better.”

Half an hour later.

The parking lot of the Haojue Club.

Several security guards were busy moving crates of alcohol and gift boxes into a Jinbei van.

In front of this Jinbei van was parked a black Rolls-Royce Phantom, with Huang Ji leaning casually against the rear of the car, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

“Sis, I just got back from Hucheng.”

“My butt’s barely gotten warm and you’re sending me to Xiangyang!”

“Shouldn’t I get some kind of subsidy for that?”

Huang Qing needed a trustworthy driver, so she called her brother over.

But Huang Ji clearly didn’t want to just obediently do the hard work and wanted to get some benefits from his sister.

Huang Qing merely gave him a disdainful look, “You reek of perfume and you say your butt hasn’t gotten warm!” Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire

“God knows which woman you’ve been fooling around with!”

“Going to Xiangyang isn’t for me, it’s an opportunity for you to shine…”

Huang Qing was also good at making promises and immediately told him the reason for going to Xiangyang.

“I see!”

The person Huang Ji admired the most was Yang Hao, so when it was about doing something for Yang Hao, he was always extra motivated, like a couple of days ago when he went to Hucheng to deliver a car.

While the siblings were talking, Ye Wei arrived. She didn’t go directly to the Haojue Club but first went back to her own place to dress up carefully. Although the chance of seeing Yang Hao today was not high, she had to be prepared at all times. This was also part of the professional conduct for people like Ye Wei.

“As expected of Qing, you are certainly generous.”

Ye Wei glanced at the boxes the security guards were moving, which were all prestigious wines and tobaccos, and some expensive health supplements.

“That Niu Lulu you mentioned on the phone, what’s her background?”

Huang Qing looked toward Ye Wei and asked.

“The resume has already been sent to you, and that’s pretty much all I know for now, but we’ll have plenty of time to chat on the way there.”

Ye Wei understood her best friend well and had anticipated that she would investigate Niu Lulu’s background, so Ye Wei had already obtained her resume from the HR department at the earliest opportunity.

“Hmm, let’s get in the car and talk!”

Huang Qing nodded, and by that time, the security guards had already loaded the birthday gifts into the car.

Because there were too many gifts, the Rolls-Royce Phantom couldn’t fit them all, so Huang Qing had someone bring over another Golden Cup van to carry the gifts, and along came four security guards.

The sole purpose of these four individuals was to carry the gifts from the vehicle to the specified location upon arrival. It’s just that wealthy people truly do not do physical labor, except in certain liked circumstances.

The two women took their seats in the back of the Rolls-Royce, while Huang Ji obediently assumed the role of driver.

“Sister, are we going straight to Xiangyang?”

While starting the car, Huang Ji asked.

“No, we have to pick someone up first.”

Huang Qing then asked Ye Wei, “What’s the address?”

“Starlight Homeland.”

Ye Wei glanced at the location sent by Niu Lulu on her phone and spoke.

“Ah, that’s a resettlement building, isn’t it?”

“I heard that complex is kind of chaotic…”

Huang Ji seemed to have some understanding of the situation in Starlight Homeland and hesitated as he began to speak.

“Go into detail.”

Huang Qing glanced at her brother in the driver’s seat.

“What’s there to say, the rent in resettlement buildings is relatively cheap, and the area has convenient transportation, so it attracts a lot of women who work on the side. I know a few ladies who live there.”

Ye Wei took over the conversation.

“It’s just like Wei said.”

Huang Ji gave an awkward smile, echoing her sentiment.

But Huang Qing frowned, yet Ye Wei knew exactly what was going through her best friend’s mind and immediately explained, “It’s true that there is a sizable number of women working on the side in Starlight Homeland, but they are a very small fraction compared to the overall number of tenants, and many low-income workers also choose to rent their homes there.”

“Niu Lulu has definitely not gone into that line of work, otherwise she wouldn’t have bothered with a tough job in a bar.”

When it came to identifying whether a girl was involved in such work, Ye Wei could be considered an expert.

With just a glance, she could generally tell to a high degree of accuracy, and Niu Lulu had none of that aura about her. More importantly, a woman who has made quick money in that way finds it very hard to work seriously again.

Hence the saying that getting into it is easy, but getting out is hard!

“Hmm, it seems like her financial situation isn’t very good.”

Huang Qing spoke while looking through Niu Lulu’s resume.

“It’s probably not great.”

Ye Wei nodded in agreement.

“That’s good then!”

Huang Qing took a deep breath, knowing that if someone is short on money, there are plenty of things to discuss.

However, Huang Ji was confused and couldn’t grasp the underlying meaning of their seemingly trivial conversation.

“Sis, are you speaking in riddles?”

“What’s good when it’s not really good?”

Huang Ji asked curiously.

But neither of them paid him any attention, clearly too lazy to explain.

In reality, when Ye Wei said “not great,” she meant financial status, while Huang Qing’s “good” meant that if Niu Lulu’s family was indeed in poor financial standing, it would be easier to influence her.

From the current situation, Niu Lulu still had some value, at least she was Li Manni’s cousin.

Seeing that no one was responding to him, Huang Ji wasn’t annoyed. While driving, he muttered to himself, “I went to deliver a car in Hucheng this time, stayed at my brother-in-law’s villa there and saw several beauties. I was thinking about discussing their situation…”

“Huh, it seems like no one’s interested…”
