Chapter 733: A Poor Family

Xue Xi paused. “What?”

Xiang Huai smiled. “Nothing much. Do you still want water? I’ll go get you clean water.”

Only then did Xue Xi notice that he had drunk all the water. She asked nervously, “Why did you drink the water?”

Xiang Huai said indifferently, “This water is useless to me.”

How could these drugs stop his special power?

Xiang Huai lowered his eyes coldly. Anyway, he was used to drinking this and had already developed an immunity.

Useless?

Xue Xi misunderstood. “I forgot that you don’t have any special power. Medicine meant to suppress a special power is naturally useless to you.”

Xiang Huai: “…”

His girlfriend seemed to always misunderstand him, but Xiang Huai was enjoying it. Every time he saw Xue Xi carefully protecting his dignity as a man, he felt that the little kid did view him with importance.

Xiang Huai found clean water for Xue Xi. After drinking it, she started to process some documents.

The school’s matters were naturally handled by the vice director. As the acting director, she was just a figurehead. Actually, she did not have to do much real work. After all, she was still a student and was young.

However, when she flipped through the documents, she realized that several projects that looked promising had actually been put on hold and were not approved.

Xue Xi remembered Professor Feng Xingshen’s kindness and how he wanted to expand the mathematics industry in China. When she saw this, she stood up and went to look for the vice director.

Actually, she could have called the vice director to come over, but the vice director was also a mathematics professor who was about the same age as Feng Xingshen. He was very senior.

When Xue Xi entered, she saw the vice director’s worried expression.

Xue Xi actually did not know much about scientific research. Even though she had solved many difficult questions, most of them were actually with others’ help. She only needed to study a few key points.

She asked, “Vice Director, why are these projects being delayed?”

The vice director sighed. “These projects seem to have good prospects, but they actually don’t have any direct use. Hence, they can’t be used to pull in investments. Without early-stage investments, the project can’t progress, so it’s very difficult.”

When she came out of the director’s office, Xue Xi’s face was stiff as she pondered.

Xiang Huai, who was walking beside her, slowly asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Xue Xi replied, “I’m thinking about what the vice director said.”

The current state of scientific research in the country was indeed as the vice director had said.

Everyone was obsessed with earning money. Scientific research was a very hard job. Some people could not complete a single research project even if they spent their entire lives.

Last year, someone had even mentioned that celebrities earned much more than scientists. This was also the reason why many scientists had abandoned scientific research and became businessmen.

Everyone had ambitions, but they also had to eat and wanted their family to live a better life. Under the pressure of reality, how many people could persist?

The vice director was a scientist. He had a fixed salary and occasionally earned a little on the side. He was considered to be doing better among the scientists because there were many investors who wanted him to do projects.

However, most people were studying unpopular topics. They had no future, even if they were top students from Huaxia University.

Xue Xi was confused. “Why can’t China transfer funds?”

Xiang Huai explained, “China has already allocated a lot of money. On the one hand, the money from the national treasury has to be used to make a living for the people, and on the other hand, it has to be used for national defense. It also gives a lot of funding to scientific research, but our scientific research projects are too far behind that of Western cultures. Whatever we do, it’s still not enough.”

Xiang Huai then recalled that he had established the God of Fortune Group because of this.

A special department that could gather all the espers would definitely give the espers a high salary. Only then could the espers not use their special abilities to earn money by causing trouble.

And these salaries were all from the God of Fortune Group.

For example, the Gao family. After Gao Yanchen’s parents died, he directly gave all of Bin City’s assets to the Gao family. The high compensation made the espers even more loyal. They knew that even if they sacrificed themselves for the country, their families would be settled properly.

Hence, even though he had founded the God of Fortune Group in his own name, he had never taken a single cent from it.

Usually, he would ask Lin Jing for money.

Lin Jing was also willing to give the money to her son because she knew these reasons. After all, she did not want her son to be too shabby.

Hence, Xiang Huai was really the poorest in the special department.

He did not have a salary and his personal assets were basically zero. No matter how much money he spent, he would get it from Lin Jing. At the thought of this, Xiang Huai could not help but rub his nose guiltily.

Mhm, it seemed like he would have to rely on his wife and parents-in-law in the future. Otherwise, he would have to continue spending Lin Jing’s money.

His reputation as a gigolo and a spoiled heir was going to be cemented.

Just as Xiang Huai was thinking this, Xue Xi suddenly stopped and looked at him. “I remember you saying that after we get married, I can choose not to return your 200 billion, right?”

Xiang Huai’s eyes lit up. “Yes.”

Although that 200-billion-yuan mine was bought for Xue Xi and for personal gain, it was also bought by Xiang Huai for the sake of mentally ill patients, so it was not considered a personal expense. Moreover, that mine would generate huge profits in the future. He would never make a loss.

Xue Xi said, “Then I’ll spend my money in peace.”

The success of the light source machine had allowed her to earn back the hundreds of millions she had spent recently. Now, her funds had reached another billion, and she was still generating profits.

Based on a rough calculation, the light source machine could earn ten billion a year.

In that case—

Xue Xi suddenly turned around and returned to the vice director’s office. She pushed open the door and said, “Vice Director, I want to invest in a mathematics research and development foundation.”

The vice director was stunned. “You… personally?”

Xue Xi nodded. “Yes, personally. I can draw funds from the foundation for any research projects that you think have value. Although the funds might still not be enough, I want to provide for Huaxia University’s research and even the Math Department’s research. Perhaps it’ll be barely enough.”

Supporting Huaxia University and the Math Department?

The vice director felt that Xue Xi was dreaming and could not help but ask, “How much personal assets do you have?”

The vice director felt that the director was just a young lady. She was passionate and had a good attitude, but in the end, she did not know how much scientific research could burn.

The young lady might have tens of millions in her hands, and she might be feeling that it was a lot and could provide well enough for others.

Just as the vice director sighed, he heard Xue Xi say, “It’s currently one billion.”

The vice director: “?”

Seeing his stunned expression, Xue Xi misunderstood and hesitated before saying, “But I have 90% of the shares in the light source machine. It can generate a profit of 10 billion yuan every year, which I will also invest. Isn’t this… enough?”

The vice director: “!!!!”

Ten billion a year!

What kind of godly acting director did Director Feng find?!

Their Math Department was saved!

Xue Xi had always done things quickly. After agreeing to it, she established the foundation and transferred the profits from her bank card and from the light source machine to the foundation before she left.

The rest could be left to the vice director.

Seeing that the balance in her bank card was zero, Xue Xi could not help but silently look at Xiang Huai.

We still have to live. Do you have money?

Xiang Huai: “…”

Xiang Huai pretended to be calm and smiled. “Little kid, don’t be anxious. I have a solution.”

He picked up his phone and sent Lin Jing a WeChat message: “Mom, do you have money?”

Lin Jing: “Scram. Send another message and I’ll block you.”

Xiang Huai: “Don’t block me yet. Your daughter-in-law and I are hungry. We don’t have any money for food to eat tonight.”

Lin Jing: “Is ten million enough?”

Xiang Huai: “Just barely. I’ll send you your daughter-in-law’s card number later. In the future, remember to transfer money regularly~”

Lin Jing: “???”

A minute later, Xue Xi received ten million yuan in her bank card. There was also Lin Jing’s message: “Goddaughter, take this money and eat. If you want to buy clothes, look for me. I’ll send more every 23rd of the month.”

After transferring the money, Lin Jing sighed silently.

Each of them could earn money by themselves. She heard that her son could earn many billions a year, and her daughter-in-law had a light source machine. Even she had 30% of the Lin family’s dividends, but why were they so poor?

The two who were being supported by their parents did not have any self-awareness. They even took Lin Jing’s hard-earned money and entered a luxurious restaurant. Lu Chao, who had not seen them for a long time, called Xiang Huai. “Boss, we’ve caught the person who put the medicine into Sister Xi’s water dispenser!”

Xiang Huai: “Oh. Then bring him over in 20 minutes.”

Lu Chao: “Why in 20 minutes?”

Xiang Huai: “…We’re eating. We’ll finish in 20 minutes. You’ll be here in time to pay the bill.”

Lu Chao: “?”
