"Of course you will!"
Ji Xiaoli boldly locked eyes with Jace. "Because this is the right choice."
Jace countered, "How do you know it's the right choice?"
It was simple. The system had approved this plan.
When Jace was discussing with Ji Changmin, the system had surprisingly given her a prompt.
[Player, please note. An important figure has been detected. Seize the opportunity.]
It was the first time Ji Xiaoli had encountered such a situation. She quickly bombarded the system in her mind.
Ji Xiaoli: System, why did you suddenly give this prompt today? What do 'important figure' and'seize the opportunity' mean?
The system patiently explained.
[According to the detection, if the player forms a partnership with Jace, it will bring a large amount of good - luck points. So it's very important. Please seize the opportunity.]
Ji Xiaoli pondered for a moment. You mean he's crucial, right?
[That's right. Please seize the opportunity quickly.]
After that, the system went silent again.
It only reappeared to confirm Ji Xiaoli's speculation when Jace asked the question just now.
Jace suddenly burst into laughter. Then he stopped smiling and said with admiration, "Ji Xiaoli, I have high hopes for you. The question I just asked you is also a problem I'm facing. Thank you for helping me make a choice."
Ji Xiaoli thought to herself, just as she'd guessed.
She vaguely suspected that the question was not just a test for her, but Jace was also thinking about it.
After this, everyone present relaxed and started chatting happily.
When it was getting late and Jace was about to leave, something unexpected happened.
A horde of reporters swarmed outside the Ji family villa. The camera flashes never stopped.
All their questions were about Jace.
"Miss Ji, it's said that you've reached a cooperation with the stock god Jace. Is this true?"
"Miss Ji, how do you feel about the stock god visiting you in person?"
Seeing this, Ji Xiaoli felt embarrassed.
The situation was likely to make people think that she'd contacted the reporters on purpose to use Jace for self - promotion.
She immediately turned to Jace and said helplessly, "I'm very sorry. We didn't prepare well. But I have absolutely no intention of using you for self - promotion."
Jace smiled like an ordinary old man. "Ms. Ji, don't be nervous. I sent people to contact these reporters. You don't need to worry."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli was stunned. "You mean you invited the reporters?"
Jace nodded without hesitation. "After all, I'm intruding unannounced. This is a little gift from me."
Before coming here, he'd heard that Ji Xiaoli was in some trouble.
As a greeting gift, Jace had spread the news that he was coming to visit her in person. It was like giving her his implicit support. After all, anyone who could be visited by the stock god Jace was no ordinary person.
Ji Xiaoli realized this and was left speechless.
Although it was beneficial to her, the method was a bit...
Zheng Nanfeng, who had been silently standing beside Ji Xiaoli, immediately noticed her repulsion.
He stepped forward and said to Jace gently but firmly, "Sir, I don't think such a gift is suitable for the domestic situation. What do you think?"
Jace saw Ji Xiaoli's expression and readily said, "It's my fault. I forgot the difference between the US and China. I heard that Chinese people are more reserved and may not like such a noisy occasion."
Zheng Nanfeng said politely, "Thank you for your understanding."
Then, without even looking at the stock god, he called the security guards and asked them to evict all the reporters.
Jace twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling very embarrassed.
Ji Xiaoli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Zheng Nanfeng, such a smart person, had publicly confronted Jace for her.
While touched, something strange began to sprout in her heart.
The security guards came quickly, but they were no match for the reporters' speed of taking photos.
Ji Xiaoli sighed and didn't interfere anymore.
She'd long known that nothing could stop paparazzi from chasing news.
Thanks to Jace's prior notice, the reporters had already taken a lot of materials.
Although Ji Xiaoli's popularity had declined a bit compared to the previous two days, it was still very high.
As soon as the reporters got back, they quickly sorted out the photos and started writing press releases.
One was Ji Xiaoli, the lucky girl who had gone viral in China, and the other was Jace, the internationally renowned stock god.
Either of them alone could boost the sales for a day. Together, the effect was even greater.
Some well - informed people found out that Jace had come to consult Ji Xiaoli about investment.
After Jace returned, he immediately acquired the research institute with a debt of 20 billion.
Smart people quickly connected the dots and guessed that it was very likely Ji Xiaoli who had advised Jace to invest in this project.
Someone listed this project online, especially highlighting the 20 - billion - yuan debt.
Now, there were two extreme views on the Internet.
One side believed that even though it had a debt of 20 billion, as long as Ji Xiaoli was optimistic about it, no matter how much debt there was, it could still make a profit.
After all, Ji Xiaoli was the lucky girl with a 100% success rate in investments.
However, more people thought that the research direction of the institute had a very high failure rate. One wrong step could lead to a complete loss.
Even if the institute's project succeeded, the technology was too advanced and not suitable for most communication devices on the market.
Moreover, the cost was high, and it would be difficult to popularize. They could refer to the high - tech projects that had failed in the previous years. If a large amount of money was invested, the investors might end up bankrupt.
Whether the project succeeded or not, it was bound to result in losses!
If they were lucky, the losses might be smaller. If not, even the stock god would go bankrupt!
Many people immediately began to call on Jace not to be deceived by Ji Xiaoli and waste so much money.
Jace, a very confident man, directly posted a statement on INS -
"Regarding some of the current online comments, I'd like to inform everyone that I was very sober when making this decision... During my trip to China, Ms. Ji's theory has helped me a lot. I believe in the joint decision made by her and me.
If you don't believe it, just wait and see."
Jace also added a smiling emoji at the end of the statement, which seemed particularly mocking.
Now, many people thought that the stock god Jace had gone crazy.
A well - known daily newspaper wrote an article based on this incident, titled -
#The Myth of the Stock God Is About to Shatter#
