Yan Ye was reading when he heard Li Xiaoyu call out to him. When he raised his head and met Yue Xin’s eyes, his face turned red.

He walked over and said uncomfortably, “Why are you calling me?” Ever since he lost to Yue Xin’s brother, he had always felt too ashamed to face Yue Xin. He tried his best to increase his strength and wanted to wait until he defeated Yue Xin’s brothers before greeting Yue Xin handsomely. In the end, his thoughts were ruined by Li Xiaoyu!

Why couldn’t Li Xiaoyu consider the situation?! He had been hiding from Yue Xin for more than a year! Why did she call him over?

Li Xiaoyu knew what Yan Ye was upset about, but she did not care. She went straight to the point. “Yan Ye, if you had 500,000 as your starting capital, what would you do with this money to earn more money?”

Upon hearing this question, Yan Ye did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Li Xiaoyu warily. “What are you doing?” He could not do anything illegal. Li Xiaoyu was so young. Why did she need so much money? There must be something strange. He had to be careful! He could not let her be cheated and support wild men with hard-earned money! He knew that love scams had recently become popular online and emptied the wallets of many girls. Perhaps Li Xiaoyu had also fallen prey.

Li Xiaoyu could guess what Yan Ye was thinking when she saw his expression.

She rolled her eyes and explained, “Yue Xin wants to buy a comfortable bed. That bed is a little expensive.”

When Yan Ye heard that Yue Xin needed it, he immediately perked up. “What bed do you want to buy? If you don’t have enough money, I can give it to you.”

Over the years, Yan Ye had participated in many competitions, big and small, and he still had a lot of savings. His mother had said that he could spend money on the girl he liked so that she could be happy. There was no need to be so calculative-

Just as Yan Ye was about to give up his assets, Yue Xin shook her head. “I want to earn my own money.” Only the money she earned could be hers. Only then could she bring it to prison in the future.

Yan Ye’s eyes darkened, but he did not insist. “The virtual currency overseas is very popular now. If it’s just a small sum of money, you can try investing a little. You can ask Zhuo Fei about the pattern of the rise and fall of the virtual currency. He has been studying the supply and demand relationship and the financial policy and virtual monetary policy of the United States recently.”

Yue Xin nodded and understood. She concluded, “So, after I get a sum of money, I can just hand it to Zhuofei, right?”

Yan Ye was speechless. That was not what he meant, but..

His heart raced when he met Yue Xin’s gaze. It didn’t seem impossible…

“Alright, I’ll talk to Zhuofei. How much money do you have?” Li Xiaoyu looked at Yue Xin, who said confidently, “Zero.”

Yan Ye fell silent.

Li Xiaoyu smiled and came out to smooth things over. “This is temporary. When we participate in the competition, we’ll have money. Do you know that there are a lot of prize money in those competitions recently?”

Yan Ye suggested, “There’s a mathematics league in three provinces. The prize money for the first place is 50,000 .”

Yue Xin’s eyes lit up, and it was rare for her to have a fighting spirit. “Then let’s participate in this!” She would go get 50,000 first and hand it to Zhuo Fei. Then, she would be able to earn more money! With more money, she could return a portion of the money that her brother had spent on her all these years and keep a portion to pay the rent of Building 1 in the prison in the future.

In fact, Yue Xin also knew a faster way to earn money. That was what she had learned in Building 8, but she did not want to do that. She remembered someone telling her that gambling would make people submit to people’s most instinctive desires and eventually become slaves to money. People had to control money, and not be controlled by money. Gambling could be used as a whetstone, but it could never be used as a method.

One day, when Yue Xin returned home, she realized that the bed in her bedroom had been changed to a bigger and softer one.

Yue Lingchen said matter-of-factly, “Didn’t you want a new bed? I bought it.”

That night, Yue Xin lay on the comfortable new bed and thought about how to bring this bed into Building One. As long as she could become the person in charge, she could do it!

In order to live comfortably in prison, Yue Xin’s future goal was to earn a lot of money! In theory, it was feasible to obtain the prize money through the competition, but when Yue Xin really began to study, she realized that this matter was not simple. The questions set by the competition were completely different from the questions solved by memorization!

Her brain had already automatically memorized the basic knowledge, but applying it was a big problem. Usually, the questions Liu Kai taught were all beyond the syllabus, but he would usually come up with an example question. According to the solution of the example question, Yue Xin could easily solve the new questions after that. Even if there were occasional changes in form and she needed to take a few detours, Yue Xin could rely on her brain to bypass them. However, the competition questions were different. Yue Xin was very sure that she could not bypass them!

After being defeated by five competition questions, Yue Xin put down her pen and began to put her hands together in prayer. She was torn between trying hard and giving up..
