The two of them didn’t go shopping as Taehyung had expected but instead went to the bank to withdraw money. Lisa had helped with her finances, so there was quite a sizeable amount of money already stored in the account, so when the accountant told Rosé the sum of money in her account, her mind went blank in shock.

She had never had so much money before!

“Why are you in such a rush to get the money?” Lisa asked after they got out of the bank.

Rosé touched her bag in disbelief as they walked. They didn’t withdraw all the money into cash, and the rest was transferred into a card, and upon hearing Lisa, she thought for a bit, before answering, “It’s nothing much. I just want to help my brother because he’s been lacking some funds lately.”

That distantly related uncle of theirs had been acting up once again, and quite greatly at that. She heard her grandfather and her brother talk about it in secret the night earlier when she went downstairs for water. She kept it a secret that she knew about it because she didn’t want to waste their effort of wanting to not distract her from the national finals.

But looking at their worried expressions, Rosé couldn’t stay calm any further, so as soon as they were done with the national finals, Rosé dragged Lisa with her to the securities company, then to the bank.

Lisa nodded in understanding, before patting her shoulder comfortingly. “Your brother can solve it without a problem.”

“I know!” Rosé raised her chin proudly. “How can such a weakling think of laying a finger on the great Xiao family? He doesn’t even know how much he’s worth…Hey, hold my bag for me, I’ll go buy some milk tea!”

Lisa stood there with the bag as the other girl disappeared in the crowd, before taking out her phone and fiddling with it.

Jinhee called right at that moment, telling her about the official opening of the company. Lisa gave him all the rights to do anything he thought was fit, but he still gave her reports daily, as well as ask for her advice.

“All the proceedings are being carried out faster than expected. I thought that it would have been too hurried for the grand opening on the twelfth, but judging by how quickly it’s going, we could even start tomorrow without any problems.”

Jinhee was quite surprised that the procedures that were usually so slow could have been carried out so quickly, and in the end, the only conclusion that he could draw was that it was due to Lisa’s influence.

Speaking of which, it was really good to be on the receiving end of special privileges!

Upon getting confirmation from Lisa, Jinhee immediately continued getting his tasks done. Even though the creation of the company was made convenient through special privileges, they still had to develop the company with their own hands, and he smiled as he looked at the employees that he had recruited into the company confidently.

Lisa hung up on the call and looked around, not seeing Rosé yet in the crowd.

How did she take such a long time to buy milk tea? It wouldn’t take this long to queue up in line, no?

As she looked at the time displayed on her phone, she realized that something wasn’t right.

It was right at the peak hour when people would get off work, so there were a lot of people and vehicles around. Lisa closed her eyes and controlled her weak chi to expand her senses. The system was closed off from use due to it being in the middle of upgrading, or else she could have used it to pinpoint where Rosé was.

Her eyes fluttered open, and her glossy hair started floating without any wind, then she looked down and relaxed her fingers that were holding her bag.
