Lu Yaqing watched as Luofeng hung up the phone, her gaze complex as she looked at him. "Why do you want to help ?"
Faced with Lu Yaqing's question, Luofeng didn't imdiately answer.
Why help her indeed?
Firstly, it was the System's mission. This ti, by helping Lu Yaqing, he could obtain a luxury property on South Lake Peninsula. Luofeng was planning to buy one for Bai Ningbing anyway. But if the System was rewarding it, was there a need to buy another? At the very least, he could save tens of millions.
Secondly, Lu Yaqing was very beautiful. Luofeng didn't deny that he had certain thoughts about her. After all, Lu Yaqing really was a great beauty—long legs, a slim waist, and such a pretty face. As a normal man, wasn't it natural to have so thoughts about her?
However, these first two reasons were secondary. The main one was that Luofeng was a good man who couldn't stand to see injustice, alright? A good man like Luofeng just couldn't bear to see a beautiful young woman suffer; that was all there was to it.
"Does doing sothing always require a reason?" Luofeng replied.
"Of course it does!" Lu Yaqing said.
"What if I say there's no reason?" Luofeng said.
"I don't believe it!" In the entertainnt industry, Lu Yaqing had seen too much deception.
Unconditional kindness? Sorry. She really didn't believe it. That kind of no-strings-attached goodness often ca with unbearable consequences.
"You asked before if I was very rich. Now I'm telling you, yes, I am very rich, incredibly rich," Luofeng said. "Take the ten million earned from that web series; this investnt took more than half a year. Do you know how much I've earned in half a year?"
Faced with Luofeng's question, Lu Yaqing blankly shook her head. After all, she didn't know much about Luofeng.
"Talking about money, well, it seems a bit crass," Luofeng said. "Ordinary people might not understand the true value of certain sums. To them, a few hundred million or several billion is just a string of numbers; they simply don't know what this magnitude of wealth represents. On the internet, when the lon-eating crowd asks about a tycoon's family, they often ask if their family owns mines, and use 'having a mine at ho' to describe soone as wealthy."
"And my family does own a mine, a gold mine at that," Luofeng explained, using the concept most understandable to ordinary people. Otherwise, tell Lu Yaqing he's worth billions? The truth is, ordinary people don't really grasp how impressive it is to be worth billions. They don't even know what that entails. The internet has bridged the gap between the poor and the rich, fostering illusions among the poor. They start thinking that hundreds of billions isn't much money at all, and tend to believe that so-called millionaires are beneath their notice. However, the reality is that ninety-nine percent of families in the country can't produce savings of more than one hundred thousand. Because they lack money and don't understand its true concept, ordinary people have a very vague understanding of wealth, to the point where they harbor the illusion that earning a million a year is easy. So, for ordinary people, the phrase 'my family owns a mine' actually has more impact.
"Are you kidding?" Lu Yaqing was stunned.
"Do I need to joke?" Luofeng raised his wrist. "This watch is worth seventeen million. You're in the entertainnt industry, so you should know the relationship between watches and soone's net worth!"
After all, many top stars rely wore watches worth a million. It's not that they couldn't afford ten-million-level watches, but they had to consider cost-effectiveness, investnt value, and the liquidity of the Secondary Market. They didn't have the privilege, like Luofeng, to treat such items rely as toys. Buying an antique for one's own collection and buying it to resell for a profit are two different concepts, just like speculating in real estate is different from buying a house to live in. Of course, in this context, "buying a house to live in" doesn't an just one house, but having real estate in all major cities.
Lu Yaqing fell silent again. She had actually guessed the most likely reason; her greatest asset, her ultimate bargaining chip, was nothing more than her beauty. To a wealthy man like Luofeng, her greatest value was her appearance.
At this mont, Lu Yaqing struggled inwardly. She had previously been sidelined by her company mainly because she refused to submit. But now, facing Luofeng, she began to waver.
Lu Yaqing quietly pondered: if she submitted to Luofeng, she would gain his robust support. And the crucial point was, if she submitted to Luofeng, she would only be submitting to one person. As Zhao Luna had said before, if one were to beco a mistress, it was better to find soone capable and just focus on pleasing that one person. If she submitted to the industry, it would an serving one investor today and warming another's bed tomorrow. The day after, she might be kneeling before so sugar daddy. Such things were endless.
There were differences between one kind of submission and another. If it ant submitting to the industry, Lu Yaqing couldn't accept it at all. She truly couldn't imagine how those girls who accompanied so many n got through it.
But submitting to Luofeng… that didn't seem entirely unacceptable, did it? After all, Luofeng appeared reliable, and he was the tall, handso, and wealthy type. Surely, that was far better than those old n in their fifties or sixties? The thought of those old n, with bellies like they were eight months pregnant and wrinkled skin, disgusted Lu Yaqing. That was precisely why she had refused to submit to the industry.
Thinking this through, Lu Yaqing silently made up her mind. She stood up and walked from the coffee table towards Luofeng.
Then, she directly sat down on his lap.
"Is your reason sothing like this?" Lu Yaqing asked, looking at him.
At this mont, an indescribable smile touched her lips.
