Chapter 364 : Green Plum Meets Wine 15 (1/2)

Shi Sheng watched them coldly from her corner. ‘They’re all just foils to the FL anyway.’

This was the focus of the event. Even if their own children stood no chance, people still wanted to see whose kids could impress the magnate enough for him to make them his final disciple.

The test on basic theory finished quickly. All those who could finish answering were told to stand on the other side.

Shen Jiayin stood towards the end. When it was her turn, she answered calmly and proficiently, cutting a stark contrast to the previous few who stuttered and got their words all jumbled up.

“Whose kid is this? She’s actually this composed…”

“She’s quite a good seedling—her basics are very solid. I just wonder what her judgement is like.” The speaker was probably in this line of business.

Only five people passed the first test. Three boys and two girls.

Shen Jiayin received the most attention.

The final test was on one’s judgement. Basically, you had to pick three stones from a pile of unopened ores. The one who picked the stones with the highest total value would be the winner.

The other children would be able to keep the ores they’d picked.

This was simply giving away money! You could see just how rich this magnate was!

Of course, that was under the condition that you had the judgement and luck to open up an ore worth several tens of millions and strike it rich.

Though, Shi Sheng reckoned, these ores should have been screened beforehand. The only one who stood a chance of getting lucky was the FL.

“If I’d known about this beforehand, then I would’ve gone too.” Shi Sheng muttered. ‘It’s free money! Why wouldn’t I want it?’

“Xiaoxia-meimei, you like these things?” Yu Jiu leaned against a pillar as he asked her with upturned lips.

“No.”

“Then what do you like? Me?”

Shi Sheng gave him the ‘you’re an idiot’ look. “Just how big is your face?”

“Not very big, but it’s handsome.” Yu Jiu laughed as he spoke.

‘Handsome my arse! You’re at most cute!’

While the two were bickering, the selection had already begun.

Shi Sheng was very curious about how Shen Jiayin utilised her cheat, so she moved to a spot closer to her.

Shen Jiayin’s method of selecting ores was different from the rest. She didn’t go up to inspect it up close, merely pointing one out every so often, like how a ruler would view their territory from afar.

“Can she really pick a good one this casually?”

“I think she just has solid theory, but nothing else.”

“If she can pick a good one like this, I’ll write my name backwards!”

Shi Sheng turned to look at the people conversing. They were standing next to her.

They were a pair of balding men with beer bellies, chubby faces and large ears. Their gazes contained some lust when they looked at Shen Jiayin.

Yu Jiu came over, blocking them off from her view as he asked her casually, “You don’t like her?”

Shi Sheng shifted her gaze. “Oh, I like her a lot.”

‘I like her so much, I wanna kill her.’

Yu Jiu found that his understanding of his little green plum grew less and less, though he felt she was more interesting now—like this was the way she should be.

As if the person in his memories was the one that was off.

Yu Jiu reached out to pull Shi Sheng into his embrace, blocking out everyone else.

“Whaddya want, trying to get fresh with me? Do you want to get beaten up?” Shi Sheng gave him a dirty look.

Yu Jiu brought her into his arms fully and tightly held on to her. “Xiaoxia-meimei, you don’t want to lose face in public, do you?”

“Fuck!”
