The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

After he came in, Gu Shengsheng quickly looked outside, then shut the door once she was sure no one was there.

She said, "We have a bit of a mixed crowd at our house today."

"I live next door. Come find me if you need anything," he said.

"Okay." Gu Shengsheng thought he was just being polite, so she gave a casual reply.

Then she got straight to the point. "That code of mine—are you willing to buy it?"

"I’m not."

The words Gu Shengsheng was about to say died in her throat. Then she said, as if to herself, "Well, that’s fine too. I’ll just find someone else to take a look."

"No," Lu Shijing said seriously. "What I mean is, you should manage it yourself."

"I’ll help you."

Seeing that Gu Shengsheng was about to refuse, he said directly, "You rejected all those buyers today, so everyone can guess that you have the password. This ID is usable."

"You could certainly sell it for a high price right now, but you don’t need to sell it, because this account’s value is far greater than what you see at the moment," Lu Shijing analyzed.

"Then what should I do?" She also analyzed her own situation seriously. "I’m not good at playing the stock market or trading crypto, and I don’t even dabble in it. I just want to earn money by appraising antiques and live my own life. To be blunt, even if I learned all this, I could never do it at your level."

She was serious, and she knew her own strengths and weaknesses well.

Lu Shijing watched her count on her fingers and found it rather cute.

He couldn’t help but smile.

His well-defined fingers held the water glass as he took a light sip, his Adam’s apple bobbing.

Gu Shengsheng...

’I got distracted again. I really do have a thing for hands. My neighbor has the most beautiful hands I’ve ever seen.’

Then, Lu Shijing said, "You could ask me to be your partner."

"Let’s hear your proposal." Looking at him, Gu Shengsheng knew he must have already planned it all out.

"The interesting thing about this account is that it can make money from money, and I can control the market. So, how about this: I’ll be in charge of the daily operations, and you’ll be like a shareholder, responsible for taking a cut of the profits?"

"Will you give me money at the beginning?" Gu Shengsheng asked.

"Yes. First, let me see the account’s value, and I’ll calculate how much to give you."

As he spoke, Lu Shijing took out Gu Shengsheng’s laptop, logged into the account, and checked the coins inside.

There were about five hundred Bitcoin.

Gu Shengsheng asked, "500? Did I get ripped off?"

"Five thousand, Miss Gu. One Bitcoin is about 35,000 US dollars. Do the math. That’s a total of 175 million US dollars. Just think how much that is in RMB..."

Gu Shengsheng found it incredible. "Thank goodness I didn’t sell it."

"That’s right. And look closely at this account. Its functions aren’t the same as a normal account. It can continuously create secondary markets—in fact, it has already opened one. This is all your principal capital, which you can use to make more money."

"There was a time years ago when Bitcoin crashed and a lot of people lost money. The original owner probably abandoned this account during those loss-making years. Left until now, it’s really in the best possible state."

"In that case, Mr. Ryan, just name a suitable price. I’ll sell it to you," Gu Shengsheng said readily. She knew that no matter how much was said about things she didn’t understand, she still wouldn’t get it.

Selling it now was the wise thing to do.

Lu Shijing said, "I’ll give you 20 million US dollars to buy this asset. And after that, we’ll split the subsequent profits."

"Okay. A ninety-ten split, in your favor." Gu Shengsheng felt that even getting ten percent was already great.

Who knew that Lu Shijing would just say, "A fifty-fifty split."

"No way! Mr. Ryan. I know you won’t let me take a loss, but there’s no need to let me earn so much!"

"The value of this thing is all dependent on you."

Lu Shijing didn’t mind. The virtual Bitcoin market he had built himself was far more interesting than this.

Making money was something he could do whenever he wanted; nothing was impossible. He was just thinking of helping her out for fun.

’But now she’s refusing... If she doesn’t accept, won’t it be difficult for the two of us to find excuses to talk on the pretext of business later on?’

So he said, "You take four, I take six? How about that?"

Gu Shengsheng’s face darkened. "Ten percent for me. The rest is non-negotiable." ’Actually, just taking the 20 million US dollars would be enough for me,’ she thought. ’That’s over 100 million RMB.’

’And ten percent from Mr. Ryan’s operation would probably amount to a lot over a year...’

"Fine." Lu Shijing didn’t mind. He was just waiting for the day he returned to the Lu Family, when he would have to split all his assets with his wife anyway.

’We’re family, after all, so it doesn’t matter.’

As for her, she had finally resolved this major hidden danger.

Because if she couldn’t sell this account, more and more people would start hanging around. It would be hard to tell the good from the bad.

Most importantly, what if some bad guy started targeting her?

’These computer guys, these hackers... aren’t they all terrifying?’

’You have no privacy in front of them.’

Lu Shijing understood her worries and said, "Don’t worry. I’ve already drafted an agreement for our partnership. You just need to sign it when the time comes."

"I’ll post a statement on the company’s official social media account mentioning our partnership. Once they know the asset is with me, they’ll naturally give up."

Gu Shengsheng nodded, then asked with some confusion, "Why is your LG Company so formidable? You’re clearly an outsider, yet in just one year, you’ve become so established in the country. On top of that, several companies are on the verge of collapse because of you."

"It’s just normal business competition. The Lu Group is in peril. Does Miss Gu blame me for that?" he said with a smile.

"Of course not. That has nothing to do with the main branch of our Lu Family. Our family’s Old Madam and my mother-in-law are both busy managing their own investments right now. As for me, I’m appraising antiques, so it doesn’t affect me much either."

"Oh, right." Gu Shengsheng remembered something. "Mr. Ryan, you should probably visit me less in the future. I’m a married woman, and our family’s grandmother said that your character might be questionable. Let’s just keep our interactions strictly professional."

Lu Shijing’s eyelid twitched. "Grandmother?"

"Yes. I’m very grateful to Mr. Lu for saving my life, but I have a husband and it’s not appropriate for me to be alone with you. In the future, if you need to discuss things with me, you can also bring an assistant."

"Thank you for understanding." Gu Shengsheng knew it was wrong to be so ungrateful after he had helped her.

But she was also telling the truth; she really should be mindful of these things.

Lu Shijing nodded and, feeling a bit helpless, found an excuse to leave.

’Now it’s certain. The old madam knows I’m back.’

’But she’s not exposing me? I wonder what the old madam is up to now...’

Feeling helpless, Lu Shijing decided to contact his grandmother after work.

For now, he had to hurry to a meeting.

On Gu Shengsheng’s end, right after she signed the electronic contract, she saw LG Group’s partnership announcement.

"LG Group Acquires Streamer Gu Shengsheng’s Bitcoin Account for 20 Million US Dollars."

The netizens could finally rest easy:

"I was wondering who would get their hands on it. Didn’t expect it to be LG Group. Well, that settles it."

"Yeah, they deserve it. That’s so much money."
