Chapter 160 – Junyao High School (Part One)

Ye Yunxi settled into the Di Family residence as Di Junxie’s fiancée. Although Di Wei was extremely displeased, he didn’t voice any objections. As for Di Qianqian, the Young Emperor had already sent her off to boarding school early on.

The early morning sunlight felt particularly pleasant, and Di Junxie even thought the morning air smelled especially fresh today.

Hades soared above the two, its wingspan—even though it was still juvenile—far exceeding that of ordinary birds.

The noisy birds in the vicinity immediately fell silent when they saw Hades’ massive shadow. An intimidating sense of oppression rippled through the shaded woods, causing sparrows and swallows to huddle together trembling, afraid of being spotted by Hades and meeting their demise.

Thus, the surroundings grew exceptionally quiet—no bird dared to chirp at this moment.

They didn’t want to die either.

While stretching her legs, Ye Yunxi answered a phone call.

Ye Junpo’s voice was brimming with excitement: “Yunxi, our movie’s first-run box office has already surpassed one billion! Wan Ming wants to schedule a second run for us!”

Typically, movies would premiere for about half a month to gauge box office performance—this was the first run. If the results were good, they’d add second, third, or even fourth runs.

With the first-run box office breaking one billion, a second run was guaranteed.

“That’s wonderful.”

“By the way, I’ve already received the first-run box office earnings—so much money, so much! I’m really overjoyed. Oh, and your brother is thrilled too! I just gave him ten thousand in pocket money, and he immediately went to an art supply store to buy two canvases—one for himself and one just to display!”

Ye Yunxi: ……

What could she say?

It wasn’t her fault her brother had such chuunibyou tendencies.

“Also, I opened a bank account for you. Since you contributed the most to this film, half of the box office earnings should go to you. I’ve deposited it all—come back whenever you can, and I’ll give it to you!”

Ye Junpo had put considerable thought into this. What kind of place was Junyao High School?

Its students weren’t like those at Imperial Secondary School, where backgrounds varied widely—some rich, some poor.

At Junyao, even the least affluent students came from wealthy families—otherwise, they couldn’t afford the tuition alone!

Ye Junpo feared his daughter might be bullied at Junyao, so he wanted to give her the card before classes officially started, ensuring she wouldn’t be looked down upon for lacking funds.

“No need, Dad. I’ll come back to get it on the weekend. I won’t need it before then anyway.”

With the Black Card in hand, she could spend up to her total assets, so having the physical card didn’t matter.

“Alright then.”

Ye Junpo’s voice carried a hint of disappointment: “Take good care of yourself at school. If anyone bullies you, fight back hard!”

Ye Yunxi glanced at the man leaning against a tree smoking nearby and responded firmly, “Mm.”

Don’t worry, Dad—she wouldn’t hold back.

After hanging up, Ye Yunxi directly asked the System: “What’s my current Black Card limit?”

[Congratulations, Host! The Black Card limit has been increased to: 100 million!]

100 million?

That little?

Her dad had given her half, meaning the total box office revenue of one billion only left two billion in his hands after her share.

Even after deducting taxes and cinema shares, they should have gotten at least 30%!But after thinking it over carefully, Ye Yunxi quickly realized that the reason they received so little was because her father lacked fame and had no backing. People took advantage of newcomers by increasing their commission, leaving them with a mere two billion in hand.
