Ye Wangchuan reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back steadily, almost holding her in his arms. He lowered his head, his unfathomable eyes sparkling with a smile: "I can't help it, my fiancée is too rich, I have to save up some money to marry her, I can't let her marry under grievance."
Qiao Nian was stunned for a moment.
Ye Wangchuan reached out and played with her extremely long black eyelashes. He only touched them lightly and chuckled softly, "I know she doesn't care about these things, but I just want to give her the best. Poetry and distant places require money. She doesn't want to spend time on these, so I have to do it."
"How soon did you start conceiving this project?" Qiao Nian drooped her eyelashes slightly, and her eyelashes trembled like a butterfly flapping its wings.
Her heart was touched by the feeling of a butterfly flapping its wings.
"long time ago."
Ye Wangchuan did not hide it from her.
"I had this idea when I was 18 or 19. But the timing was not right and I didn't have the time or energy to do it. It wasn't until two years ago that I went to Raocheng to find a miracle doctor to treat Chenchen, and then I received a notice from your brother saying that he had found my fiancée, who had been engaged to me for many years... Probably from that time on, I had the spare energy to start promoting the project, and slowly formed the so-called metaverse."
The metaverse is just a term used by the outside world.
When he first established this project, he named it "Project Zero".
Start from 0.
Everything is created from 0.
Everything is zero.
That’s roughly the concept.
Later, the executor he launched changed the name of the project to one that was more in line with the market, "Source Universe", which implies a new universe.
"This is a financial project, just like what you said, Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing to take the bait will be caught."
Ye Wangchuan was calm and steady, and said lightly: "I gave a concept. Those who join in voluntarily trade under the new rules, thereby generating losses and gains. I am just a broker, responsible for building a large trading platform for them. The metaverse is probably such a thing." Qiao Nian took a deep breath, put his hand against his chest to push him away, calmed down his complicated emotions, and looked up at him: "So you wanted to spend money on me from the beginning? Then you also cheated me of a lot of money on rare metals?"
"..." Ye Wangchuan's face was full of black lines, and he raised his hand helplessly: "I didn't know the buyer was you at that time."
Qiao Nian raised his eyes and said arrogantly: "Now you know."
Ye Wangchuan understood immediately and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll transfer it to you later."
"Yeah. Thank you, big guy!"
Qiao Nian actually just said it casually, deliberately trying to ease the atmosphere.
In fact, she is not short of money. Even if she doesn't have as much money as Ye Wangchuan, she still has a lot of money.
At her stage, money has long become numbers, similar to the virtual currency in the metaverse, and is often useless.
For example, she has not yet found the source of the tungsten gold she has always wanted.
In their world, these are things that cannot be bought with any amount of money; they are hard currency!
Ye Wangchuan heard the casualness in her tone, and knew that Qiao Nian didn't really want to ask him for the money.
He seemed to always know what Qiao Nian was thinking.
"Master Cheng called me a few days ago. Don't worry about the tungsten metal. I will help you find a solution. I will find a partner for you in at most half a month."
Qiao Nian raised her eyes to look at him deeply. Although she said nothing, everything was implied.
She knew that Country Z had tungsten gold, but she never asked Ye Wangchuan for help because it was not appropriate to drag Jiusuo into this matter.
