Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When she reached home, Wang Yunmei was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the door open, she knew that her daughter had returned.
“Xiao Ai, school’s over! Mom bought you some grapefruit. Have some. Dinner will be ready soon. Your brother is also coming back for dinner.”
Jian Ai threw her school bag on the sofa and went into the kitchen in her slippers. Wang Yunmei was cleaning a carp. Jian Ai leaned forward to take a look. “Mom, are you making braised fish?”
Wang Yunmei nodded with a smile. “That’s right. It’s what your brother asked for. I also bought pork ribs. How do you want to eat them? With sugar and vinegar?”
“Sure,” Jian Ai answered happily.
“Go out and wait. Your brother will be back soon.”
Jian Ai returned to her room and glanced at the clock. It was six pm. Her mother usually went out to work at the nightclub around 7 pm with her makeup done. If the night ended early, she could be back around midnight. If not, she would reach home around two am or three am.
There was never an accurate time for such an escort job. They would not be able to get away from demanding customers.
In her previous life, her mother had passed away due to liver cancer. Jian Ai understood that the cause was her mother’s consumption of alcohol. Drinking alcohol hurt her liver. The more she drank, the more injured she became. In this life, she would not let the same thing happen again.
But now, she couldn’t possibly ask her mother to quit her job at the nightclub because the income of this job contributed to a large part of the family’s expenses. Her mother would not agree to it. Therefore, Jian Ai understood that if she wanted her mother to leave the nightclub, she would have to work hard to change the family’s financial situation personally. When money was no longer what her mother was worried about, everything else would naturally happen.
Therefore, Jian Ai was very clear about what she needed to do now. That was… earn money!
She opened the closet and took out a pink wallet. She took out all the money inside.
She had been reborn with her memories of the future. She knew the trajectory of this world twelve years in advance. Hence this was her unique advantage.
In the future, the most profitable industries would be real estate, food and beverage, nightclubs, and cultural and creative industries. In her previous life, Jian Ai relied on herself to work in the capital for several years and gradually stabilized her footing in the real estate industry. It was also the industry that she was most familiar with.
But when Jian Ai saw all her savings, she couldn’t help but wipe off sweat. All the money she had saved up… when added together… was only… one thousand and three hundred yuan!
One thousand and three hundred yuan was not a small sum for an ordinary high school student like her. With her mother’s monthly living allowance of two hundred yuan, one thousand and three hundred yuan was equivalent to half a year’s living allowance. However, if she wanted to start a business, this one thousand and three hundred yuan was too much of a joke. If she invested it into the business world, it would probably not even cause a splash. Furthermore, she had no business opportunity now, so this amount of money could not do anything.
Looking at the money on the bed, Jian Ai had a headache, but her brain was still working hard. What could make her multiply the money by tens or even hundreds of times in a short time…
Buying lottery tickets?
No, the probability of winning was zero. It was completely unreliable.
Jian Ai thought of investing in stocks again, but she immediately rejected the idea. She needed an identity card to open an account at the securities company. She was only fourteen years old and had yet to apply for an identity card. Secondly, investing in stocks was too risky. Although she had experience in this area, she could not guarantee that nothing would go wrong. If she lost, it would be a complete failure.
