Hearing the prompt sound, Ji Xiaoli perked up.
It seemed that her efforts in the past few days were not in vain!
She had spent all the money she had on hand. If it still didn't succeed...
Then Ji Xiaoli would have no other options. Now she could only wait.
She hoped the system would come through!
【Humph, of course this system is reliable. It is recommended that the player wait patiently.】
Ji Xiaoli's heart started pounding. She had never been this nervous before.
She was a bit scared, but mostly looking forward to it.
Ji Xiaoli: System, could you at least give me a definite answer?
【Please explore the reward content on your own.】
After saying that, the system pretended to be dead again.
At this moment, Ji Changmin's phone rang.
He didn't avoid the mother - daughter pair. He answered the call directly, "Lao Zhang, what's going on?"
Lao Zhang was his old subordinate. They had a decades - long close relationship. A sudden call from him must mean something urgent.
Lao Zhang's voice on the phone sounded a bit shaky, "General Manager Ji, something big has happened!"
Ji Changmin sighed, "Lao Zhang, just tell me straight. I can handle it."
After the past few days of turmoil, he had already come to terms with it.
Wasn't it just a bit more bad luck?
Lao Zhang trembled for a long time and finally blurted out with tears in his eyes, "General Manager Ji, the company is saved!"
"What?" Ji Changmin was stunned. He quickly asked again, "Saved? Lao Zhang, don't lie to me."
Lao Zhang slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Why would I lie to you! Do you still remember that project in Venezuela?"
Ji Changmin definitely remembered. It was this project that had lost tens of billions. Now they still had to keep investing.
He had been tricked. He bought a piece of useless land.
He thought there would be abundant oil resources under the land he bought. But there was only a shallow layer of oil on the surface. Digging deeper, there was nothing.
But they had already invested all the manpower and material resources, so they had to keep digging.
The daily mining cost was no small amount. But because they had signed a contract with the local government, they had no choice but to continue. So they had been in continuous losses.
Ji Changmin sighed, "How much more did we lose?"
Lao Zhang burst into laughter through his tears, "No losses! We've earned it all back. Guess what? Oil has been found under that land!"
Ji Changmin held his breath nervously, "Lao Zhang, stop beating around the bush. Just tell me!"
Lao Zhang burst out laughing, "There's oil on that land! And it's not just one piece. There's oil under all the land we bought. Conservatively estimated, it's worth thousands."
Obviously, this "thousands" was in units of billions.
Even though he was usually calm, he was still surprised by this figure.
It took Ji Changmin a while to find his voice, "You mean we've made a profit?"
Hearing this, Wei Yanlan and Ji Xiaoli beside him also turned their gazes over.
Lao Zhang laughed and shed tears at the same time, "Not only did we make a profit, but our company is saved! I told the bank the news. The bank not only didn't urge us to pay back the loan, but also lent us another 20 billion."
That meant they were finally saved!
This debt crisis was completely resolved, and the Ji Group was out of danger.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Changmin couldn't hide his smile.
"We're saved."
Wei Yanlan wiped away a tear, "Yes, we're saved."
Only Ji Xiaoli burst out laughing, "Dad, Mom, I told you there's always a way out."
【It's not that there's always a way out. It's that believing in this system is the right choice.】
Ji Xiaoli: Did all these come from the good - luck points?
【Of course. This system detected that the host's biggest wish is to solve your father's debt, so most of the rewards will be delivered in this way.】
Ji Xiaoli: Most of the rewards. What about the rest?
【Please explore on your own.】
Ji Xiaoli: I knew you'd pretend to be dead again.
Ji Changmin immediately felt elated, "Yes! Daughter is right. We've really turned a corner!"
Suddenly, he thought of something, "Wait, I'll make another call."
Ji Xiaoli smiled slightly, "Dad, are you going to tell others this good news?"
"No, I'll keep it a secret for a few more days." Ji Changmin squinted his eyes like an old fox, "A gentleman should return the favor."
Just take advantage of these few days to catch his old rival off guard.
At this time, Ji Xiaoli's phone rang.
Ji Xiaoli saw that it was Tao Guangguang, that live wire.
As soon as the call was connected, Tao Guangguang wasn't polite, "Hey, General Manager Ji, I can finally get through to you. I have something to tell you. Don't be scared."
Ji Xiaoli slowly typed a? in her mind.
Without waiting for her to answer, Tao Guangguang started smiling happily on his own.
"Hehe, General Manager Ji, let me tell you. You don't know. That drama we filmed last time has become a national hit!"
"Do you know how high the box - office is? The premiere exceeded 100 million, and the highest single - day box - office was 320 million! Do you know what people are saying outside? It's a 'phenomenal' movie! Now when people meet, they don't ask what you've eaten. They ask if you've watched my movie!"
"Tell me, which director is as awesome as me? I, Tao Guangguang, swear that if this movie doesn't become popular, it's against the will of heaven!"
On the other end of the phone, Tao Guangguang was laughing extremely brightly.
Ji Xiaoli gasped, "Is it really that high?"
Tao Guangguang was very proud, "That's right! But do you know how much the cost was?"
He seriously calculated the cost for her. It was only a few tens of millions, but it could bring in billions in revenue. Although it was a bit less compared to Ji Changmin's company, it was actually a huge profit.
Hearing what he said, Ji Xiaoli realized that the entertainment industry was really a highly profitable one!
After calculating the cost, Tao Guangguang started to sum up, "General Manager Ji, in a way, half of the success of this movie is because of me, and half is because of your discerning eye."
Ji Xiaoli was a bit touched. Although Tao Guangguang seemed unreliable, he was actually quite talented.
After calculating the share, Tao Guangguang smiled obsequiously, "General Manager Ji, look, I have another script..."
General Manager Ji didn't hesitate, "I'll invest! How much do you need? I'll transfer it to you!"
Such a money - making machine definitely deserved an investment!
Tao Guangguang's face immediately lit up. He smiled obsequiously, "Okay, okay, okay. As usual, as long as the price is right, I'll do whatever you want!"
Rarely having found a big spender, no, a benefactor, Tao Guangguang naturally wouldn't give up easily. He took the opportunity to make many more requests, and Ji Xiaoli, in a good mood, agreed to them all.
After hanging up the phone with Tao Guangguang, Ji Xiaoli felt extremely refreshed.
She knew clearly that the huge success of this movie must be due to the good - luck points. Even a small amount of good - luck points could bring such great returns. She couldn't help but feel even happier.
The Ji Changmin couple beside her also had smiles on their faces.
Ji Changmin said with a smile, "Daughter is really our lucky star. After coming back from a trip with our daughter, we've received so much good news."
Wei Yanlan also said with a gentle smile, "Yes, yes, yes. We should thank our little lucky star."
Ji Xiaoli didn't decline. She accepted it, "I'd be more than happy to be your lucky star!"
The three of them immediately burst into laughter.
Wei Yanlan pulled the two of them, "Then let's go home!"
Ji Changmin thought for a moment, "No. I'll go to the court first to settle the matter of the court summons."
