Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 43

Li Xiaoya's breath caught for a moment.

Today's situation was unprecedented for the director, and wasn't it the same for Li Xiaoya?

No one had ever spoken to her with such a firm tone, saying such words.

Sheng Yuxiao held her hand and said, "Come, now make another choice."

Li Xiaoya suddenly didn't feel so afraid of making choices anymore. She nodded slightly.

Sheng Yuxiao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you choose to learn English with me, or to learn painting with Ning Heng?"

The cameraman quietly recorded this scene and immediately uploaded it online as a behind-the-scenes clip.

The show was already attracting a lot of attention, and this clip satisfied the netizens' curiosity.

[The director is quite cute, getting so happy from a compliment]

[Sheng Yuxiao is so good with words, he's speaking for me. That's right, Li Xiaoya made the right choice! Well done! You're a great Li Xiaoya!]

[Wait, I'm not worldly-wise, so let me ask: did this rich kid make such a big fuss just to teach a little girl to be firm in her choices?]

[Is this how the wealthy pamper people? I'm so envious!]

[Not really, Li Jingjing doesn't get this treatment in her wealthy family, lol]

[Don't drag others down]

The comment section nearly erupted into an argument.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaoya chose to learn English, leaving Ning Heng unhappily saying beside them, "I'm going on strike, I quit, I won't feed the pigs anymore, nor the chickens, and I won't chop wood either."

Sheng Yuxiao didn't even turn his head as he replied, "Then you can go back. Help me call Wei Zesheng here."

Wei Zesheng was the rich kid from a family that owned hospitals, whom Ning Heng had mentioned earlier.

Ning Heng sighed, "Never mind, Wei Zesheng can't feed pigs as well as I can."

Shitou School didn't teach English at all.

Sheng Yuxiao didn't have any English textbooks on hand either, but he made up for it with his good memory. He started by writing a word for Li Xiaoya: "Come on, repeat after me, abandon."

Among the staff, there was a young, recently graduated member who couldn't help but tilt his head in thought before hesitantly speaking up, "Isn't this a CET-4 vocabulary word? Shouldn't we start with ABC? Jumping straight to CET-4 words?"

Now they could see it clearly.

The young master Sheng was really not good at teaching.

This was such a waste of the child's time!

But not a single person dared to stand up and set things right.

On this side, Teacher Sheng began his lesson.

Meanwhile, the internet was still buzzing with activity.

The government has very strict regulations on pharmaceutical companies' advertising, to the extent that conventional brand promotion methods often can't be used by pharmaceutical companies.

Once a pharmaceutical company starts to decline, it's almost impossible to turn things around. Even if you have a miracle drug, you need to be able to distribute it widely and build brand awareness. The investment required for this, and how much profit needs to be given away, is an astronomical figure beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

But Thousand Gold Pharmaceutical Company now had countless organic promoters.

After all, it was now the only one of its kind! A rare commodity!

First, locals came forward to say that Thousand Gold Pharmaceuticals' medicines were really good, cheap, fast-acting, and had no side effects. They also told the story of how the formula was stolen, which sparked another round of sympathy from netizens who felt that this pharmaceutical company had really been through a lot.

After hearing about this, people from other areas would also ask if there were any Thousand Gold Pharmaceuticals' medicines when they went to the pharmacy.

This market was being created organically.

After being frequently asked, pharmacies would naturally turn to stock these products.

This was the market driving sales.

The production lines that had been shut down were quickly inspected and put back into operation after maintenance.

Any expired drugs that couldn't be sold were immediately destroyed, without regret for the small loss.

In just a few short days, Dou Dawei was beaming with joy wherever he went.

The shareholders who had gone to Li Family Village with him at the time were suddenly filled with fear: "It's a good thing we didn't sell for just a million."

"That Micro Light company at least sold for 100 million, if we had given up for just a million... once it hit the news, we would have been criticized endlessly."

"Mr. Dou, you saved us!"

Dou Dawei sneered, thinking to himself, now they're calling me Mr. Dou again? Earlier they were calling me by my first name.

"I didn't save you. Didn't young master Sheng say it? It was Li Xiaoya who saved us."

"Right, right."

"Don't you get it? We should think about what to send to Li Xiaoya! Before, when we didn't have money, I just sent her a Barbie doll. Thinking about it now, that was really cheap!"

"What do you have in mind, Mr. Dou?"

"How about giving her 1% of the shares?"

"Are you crazy? She's just a child! A girl from a mountain village, with no parents..."

Dou Dawei rolled his eyes, interrupting his partner's foolish speech: "I'm not crazy, you're just too stupid."

"How am I stupid, I..."

"What kind of person is Sheng Yuxiao? Do we have any real connection with him?"

"He invested in us!"

"He might lift you up today, but he could lift someone else up tomorrow. That's the power of capital. Do you know how many assets and businesses the Sheng family owns? He has too many things he could invest in! We're not the only one! But to make Li Xiaoya's 1% shares play their due role, won't young master Sheng have to pay more attention to us?"

"Mr. Dou, you're really knowledgeable and experienced. I admire you." The other party suddenly realized and immediately changed his tune.

Dou Dawei's mouth twitched as he accepted the compliment.

He genuinely wanted to thank Li Xiaoya, but he also shamelessly hoped that young master Sheng would pay more attention to them because of this.

For a rich kid at Sheng Yuxiao's level, even the scraps that fell through his fingers would be enough for them to live very well!

After Dou Dawei convinced the shareholders, they immediately went to draft a contract, invited a notary, and then rushed to Li Family Village with their official seals.

Meanwhile, Xu Ruying had just arrived at Li Family Village.

She was twenty years old this year, studying for her MBA and Master's in Media overseas.

The journey had been bumpy, and the mobile signal was poor, so she simply hadn't played with her phone and thus didn't know how heated the online news had become.

She had contacted the show's production team in advance, and they had said they would send someone to pick her up.

But now it seemed a bit early?

Xu Ruying looked down at her wristwatch; it was more than an hour earlier than the agreed time.

She stood at the village entrance, taking out her phone to call the production team. Her Chanel outfit attracted many glances from the villagers.

This made Xu Ruying feel very uncomfortable. People say that poor places breed difficult people, and it seems there's some truth to that... She wondered if that Li Xiaoya would be just as annoying.

"Hello, I've arrived at the village entrance. How far is it to Li Xiaoya's house? Could you come and pick me up?" Xu Ruying said into her phone.

Just then, Dou Dawei's car pulled up. Hearing Xu Ruying's voice, he immediately leaned out enthusiastically and said, "We're also going to Li Xiaoya's house. We can lead the way, and you can just follow in your car."

Xu Ruying glanced at Dou Dawei but didn't refuse. After all, she was driving her own car, not riding with them.

The group then arrived at Li Xiaoya's house.

Li Xiaoya was sitting at her doorstep, learning vocabulary words with Sheng Yuxiao.

Sheng Yuxiao was teaching her: "Amusement."

Xu Ruying's lips twitched uncontrollably.

"Sheng Yuxiao, that's a college-level English word. Why are you teaching it to a little child?"

What was most absurd was that this word was further down the list. Had he already taught her the ones at the beginning?

Xu Ruying couldn't believe it.

Sheng Yuxiao looked up at her voice and said, "Just a moment."

Xu Ruying's eyes widened. Did he just tell her to wait?

She said unhappily, "I've already heard about your reckless investments. Did you listen to her? How old is she? Why do you listen to everything she says? Sheng Yuxiao! Look at me! I'm your sister, after all!"

Sheng Yuxiao spared her a glance and said, "Cousin."

Xu Ruying's face flushed red with anger. "Does being a cousin mean I can't look after you?"

Suddenly, Dou Dawei nimbly squeezed forward, interrupting the argument.

He said, "I've brought something for Li Xiaoya."

Sheng Yuxiao gave him a dismissive look. "Another Barbie doll?"

"No!" Dou Dawei handed over the folder in his hand and said softly, "It's a share transfer contract for Li Xiaoya. It's already been stamped with the company seal and is legally binding."

Xu Ruying was stunned.

She couldn't help but take half a step back and look up at the sky.

That's right, the sun was still hanging in the east.

How had the world become so bizarre?

How could someone be so eager to give shares to this child?

Even her own parents thought her too young and refused to give her any shares!

How had everyone been bewitched by this child?
