Chapter 221 Support Dad! I'm the Boss...
Niannian, however, was persistent. She climbed down from the railing, ran to her father's side, looked up at him with a determined gaze:
“No… Dad, it wasn’t money you saved for me, I earned it myself!” Her voice was soft, but full of strength.
Since Niannian was born, Jian Xiaohan has had a habit of saving a considerable sum of money for her every year on her birthday.
He hopes his daughter can live a carefree life in the future, and that even if he cannot be by her side, she will have sufficient material security.
Jian Xiaohan even managed to grow these savings to nine figures within twelve years.
"What do you mean by 'earned it yourself'?" he asked.
Jian Xiaohan's gaze froze on the phone screen. The string of numbers shocked him, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
He counted the zeros repeatedly to make sure he wasn't mistaken.
Eighteen billion is a fortune that an ordinary adult might never accumulate in a lifetime, but his daughter, a child not yet twelve years old, did it.
"Niannian, what... what exactly happened?" Jian Xiaohan stared wide-eyed at his daughter in astonishment.
He hurriedly put down the important documents in his hand, then slowly squatted down, trying to keep his eyes level with Niannian's, as if trying to find the truth through her clear, watery eyes.
Jian Xiaohan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking:
"Niannian, you didn't... secretly take someone else's things, did you?"
He suddenly realized halfway through his sentence that such speculation might hurt his daughter's young heart, so he quickly changed his words:
"Niannian, be good. Tell Daddy, have you done anything wrong?"
???
ha?
Stealing? Doing something wrong?
Hearing her father's question, Niannian's little face instantly scrunched up, her little mouth pursed, and she muttered with a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction:
"No way! I didn't do anything wrong! Dad, how could you think that about me! Humph!"
Immediately afterwards, Niannian took a deep breath and then forcefully puffed out her small chest, just like a spirited little fighting rooster.
Her slender hands were expertly placed on her hips, her face radiating confidence and pride as she explained to Jian Xiaohan with an air of self-righteousness:
"Dad, don't be angry! It's actually very simple. I just sold the gold bars that Brother Yun Jing gave me!"
Think about it, it's not a big deal, right?
Moreover, Grandpa Xu once told me that those antiques left over from the Guangling period are priceless!
"Isn't that how I can help you, dear Dad?"
At this point, Niannian became even more smug. She grinned and reached into her pocket, pulling out a brand new bank card as if by magic.
The card gleamed brightly under the light, as if proclaiming the wealth it represented.
Niannian excitedly held the bank card high in front of Jian Xiaohan, waving it happily, and continued in her sweet voice:
"Dad, look! Look what this is! Hehe, I have lots and lots of money now!"
So, from now on, I'm going to invest in you. I'm your big investor and boss! You'll have to listen to me obediently from now on!
However... if this amount of money is still not enough, it's okay! I can go find Brother Yun Jing again and ask him to send me some more antiques.
After all, in this era we live in, those antiques from the Guangling period would definitely fetch a higher price!
That way, we can earn more from the price difference! Hehehe... Dad, don't you think I'm super smart?
Jian Xiao's cold and stern face turned slightly to the side, his sharp, hawk-like gaze sweeping over Old Master Fu.
Grandpa Fu remained calm, showing no sign of opposing Niannian. It seemed that he agreed with Niannian's approach.
Immediately afterwards, Jian Xiaohan slowly raised his broad and powerful hands, cupping his palms.
He bowed slightly and said with a hint of earnestness:
"I implore you, Boss Niannian, to take pity on me and listen to my request. I hope you will be generous enough to invest in the project I am in charge of!"
In fact, if it weren't for the technological innovations in war robots, there would be enormous difficulties and challenges.
Moreover, the required research and development costs are simply staggering, so why would Jian Xiaohan seek financial support from all sides?
At this moment, with a smile on her face, Niannian slowly and gently placed the bank card into Jian Xiaohan's warm and large hand.
Then, she cleared her throat and deliberately imitated an adult's tone, saying, "Alright, Comrade Jian, since this big boss has decided to invest in you;
From now on, I'll be checking on your research progress from time to time! You'd better work hard!
After saying that, she winked playfully, then put her two pink hands behind her back, raised her head and puffed out her chest, striking a pose befitting a big boss.
Grandpa Fu, who was standing to the side, was stunned at first when he saw this scene, and then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The somewhat somber and tense atmosphere vanished in an instant, replaced by a relaxed and cheerful mood.

Meanwhile, inside the magnificent and imposing Zichen Palace in the Guangling Kingdom...
Inside the hall, the flickering candlelight illuminated the entire space as brightly as day.
Emperor Pei Chuan sat firmly on the dragon throne, a symbol of supreme power, his majestic gaze slowly sweeping over the princes standing below.
When Pei Chuan's gaze finally settled on the Third Prince, Pei Ancheng, people couldn't help but be attracted by the young prince's charm.
At this time, Pei Ancheng was already over eighteen years old, in the prime of his youth.
He was dressed in a moon-white, straight-collared long robe, his clothes fluttering, as if he were an immortal descending to earth;
A beautifully crafted waist belt with auspicious cloud patterns in moon white was tied around her waist, making her figure appear even more upright and slender.
Her long, jet-black hair was tied up high and secured with a simple yet elegant white jade and silver crown, making her look handsome and extraordinary.
His cold and stern face also subtly revealed an innate air of nobility and arrogance.
As is well known, the position of Crown Prince has been vacant for a long time, which has made the competition for this position among the princes increasingly fierce.
Although Pei Ancheng and Pei Yunjing were both favored by Pei Chuan, they could be said to be equally loved;
However, there are still subtle differences in their positions in Pei Chuan's heart.
