The Introvert is Becoming the Police Station's Beloved!

Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Investment Comes with Risks

"Yeah, I didn’t even recognize her just now. Back when she was at the company, this young girl always kept her head down and worked, but her work ability was really impressive!"

"Indeed..."

Hearing the compliments from colleagues, Susan’s face turned a bit sour. She suppressed her anger and quickly left the company.

Ai Lin sat in the car, feeling very excited.

She had never sat in such a comfortable car before!

Lin Xiaoyan introduced, "This is my good friend, Nan Xi. She’s joining us for dinner today. Sister Lin, you don’t mind, do you?"

Ai Lin quickly shook her head, "I don’t mind, of course I don’t mind."

"By the way, where are you working now? How’s it going?"

Lin Xiaoyan replied slowly, "I’m working at a bubble tea shop over on ** Road."

"You’re still working at that bubble tea shop?!"

Ai Lin was surprised.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded with a smile.

Ai Lin touched Lin Xiaoyan’s hand, "I heard bubble tea shops can be exhausting, can you handle it? Why not come to the company? We’re hiring right now, I can speak to HR and have you come directly on board."

Lin Xiaoyan smiled warmly, "No need, Sister Lin. By a stroke of luck, I took over that bubble tea shop. I don’t need to work there myself.

The shop has employees, so I usually don’t have to go there."

Ai Lin: !!!

"You... you said you... opened a bubble tea shop!!!" Ai Lin was shocked!

Lin Xiaoyan: "I didn’t exactly open it. I was working at that bubble tea shop before, and it just so happened that the owner didn’t want to continue running it due to some personal issues, so I took it over..."

Ai Lin’s eyes lit up, "That’s great! It’s much better than working for someone else!

How’s the business going?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "The business is okay, mainly because the location is good."

Ai Lin nodded, "That’s really great, much better than those of us who are still working!"

"You have no idea, ever since the company changed owners..."

Along the way, Ai Lin talked about many things that happened after she left the company with Lin Xiaoyan.

She also shared some stories about her colleagues at the company.

Ai Lin and Lin Xiaoyan hadn’t seen each other in a long time, and they ended up chatting for quite a while.

In the evening, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi took Ai Lin home.

When they arrived at Ai Lin’s residential area, Ai Lin reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Let’s meet up again when we have the chance!"

Ai Lin: "Sure, let’s go watch a movie then. In Sea City, besides my boyfriend, I don’t have any other friends to hang out with."

Ai Lin was speaking the truth. Her friends worked with her at the same company, and over time, due to conflicts of interest, they gradually stopped sharing heartfelt conversations.

So the friendships slowly turned into just colleague relationships.

Every day after work, besides venting to her boyfriend about company stuff, she couldn’t find anyone else to share her frustrations with.

Meeting Lin Xiaoyan today, she had such a great time chatting with her.

Lin Xiaoyan was also very happy.

"Bye-bye, Sister Lin."

"Bye-bye, keep safe on your way home. Message me when you get back."

"Got it!"

After parting with Ai Lin, Lin Xiaoyan went home with Nan Xi.

On the way, she still had a smile on her face.

Nan Xi looked at the relaxed Lin Xiaoyan and smiled, "You seem very happy tonight."

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at Nan Xi, "Yeah, Sister Lin is really nice. Last year when I had just graduated and joined the company, I knew nothing. It was Sister Lin who patiently taught me."

Thinking back to last year, working hard every day for living expenses, calculating every expense, wishing she could split a dollar into several pieces to spend.

Back then, sometimes her bank account showed three digits, sometimes two digits, and sometimes even just one digit.

But now, it’s eight digits!

Thinking of the money in her account, Lin Xiaoyan recalled what He Qi’an said before, about investing in many businesses with his friends.

Should she also consider doing some investment projects, letting money make more money!

"Sister Nan, do you save all your salary?"

Lin Xiaoyan asked Nan Xi beside her.

Nan Xi: "I save part of it, and invest the other part."

Lin Xiaoyan: !!!

"Sister Nan, what do you invest in? Teach me, I also want to let my money make money!" Lin Xiaoyan looked at Nan Xi eagerly.

Nan Xi: "What do you want to invest in?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "I don’t know, I don’t understand it, but I think leaving money in the bank is useless; better to make some investments, let the money generate more money."

Nan Xi pondered for a moment and said, "I am not an expert in these things either. There’s a senior in our department who is very knowledgeable about finance. Colleagues with extra money let him help us with investments."

Lin Xiaoyan felt very envious upon hearing this.

"If you want to invest too, I can ask that senior when we get back."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly, grateful words pouring out towards Nan Xi without repeating.

Nan Xi was a bit overwhelmed by the thanks and quickly stopped her.

After getting home, Lin Xiaoyan checked the balance in her bank account.

She calculated in her mind how much she could take out for investment.

"Yanyan, my senior just took on a task recently. He said he’d discuss this after completing his task."

After contacting the person, Nan Xi informed Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded after hearing this, "Alright, I’m not in a rush."

During a chat with He Qi’an that night, Lin Xiaoyan mentioned this investment idea.

When He Qi’an heard his wife wanted to invest, he found it pretty simple.

"Do you know what returns the fastest now in terms of investment?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "What?"

He Qi’an: "Investing in the entertainment industry has fast returns."

Lin Xiaoyan: !!!

"Jing Yi asked to borrow money from me a few days ago. He said he’s planning to invest in a movie and asked if I’d like to join."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan hesitated; investments in movies can be unpredictable.

Sometimes they may indeed multiply profits several times, but at times they might also cause significant losses.

"I skimmed through the movie script and found it okay. I’ll send it to you, and if you’re interested in investing, just put in one or two million; don’t put in too much.

Jing Yi said he’s quite optimistic about this movie, so he invested a lot."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Then send it over; let me take a look, and if it seems good, I’ll put in a bit and give it a try."

He Qi’an: "Sure, I’ll send it to you now."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoyan opened the script sent by He Qi’an.

The movie is a sci-fi film, and the storyline is pretty good. At least, after reading it, Lin Xiaoyan wanted to see the sequel.

But...

Lin Xiaoyan thought about the current state of sci-fi movies in Hua Country; many movies have flopped.

Each sci-fi movie had great promotions, but after watching them... well, it was indescribable.

Lin Xiaoyan felt hesitant. If the movie were shot according to the script, it should be fine, at least not a loss.

But if they get a bad director or actor, the script could be changed, or bad acting could ruin everything.

Lin Xiaoyan realized, investing truly has its risks!
