Madam Marilyn said modestly, “What I know is just gossip. If ordinary people really want to know this, they can simply pay more attention. I’m really far behind compared to academic elites like you...”

With that said, Madam Marilyn added, “If Aurous University recruits you, then as a student with a doctorate from Hong Kong University, you may be able to directly or indirectly bring some student resources from Hong Kong to Aurous University in the future, which is what Aurous University values the most. Based on a combination of these reasons, I dare say that you will certainly be able to pass this interview.”

Marianne nodded in realization when she heard this.

She had never been away from Hong Kong much, and she did not care much about things that did not concern her, so Marianne had never had much of an understanding of what Madam Marilyn was talking about.

Marianne suddenly gained even more confidence after listening to her words.

Meanwhile, at Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.

    He moved the bamboo stool first and then came to sit down in front of Vera as he said respectfully, “Miss, it’s like this. I... I have a granddaughter who happens to be coming to Aurous Hill to attend a job interview, so I invited her to be a guest at the manor so that she can enjoy a meal with us here. I only learned about it this morning, so I didn’t report it to you in advance. Please don’t hold it against me.”Vera took a new teacup, rinsed it with water, then said with a smile, “This is your manor, and you’re the host. Why would you need to report anything to me if you want to host a banquet? I’m just one of your guests.”Logan said without hesitation, “Miss, this is the second matter that I would like to discuss with you. It’s rare that you like this place, and I’m also getting older, so I’m afraid that I will not be able to come here again after this visit. So, I want to give Scarlet Pinnacle Manor to you, and I hope that you’ll accept it!”Vera was slightly taken aback. She

    Logan was overjoyed when he heard that Vera was willing to meet Marianne.He hurriedly said to Vera, “Miss, they will be arriving in another twenty minutes, so you can come down when they arrive.”Vera nodded and said with a smile, “Don’t forget my new identity in front of outsiders.”Logan said without hesitation, “Of course! Don’t worry, Miss.”After that, he got up slowly and said, “Miss, please continue enjoying your tea. I will not disturb you anymore.”Vera said, “Find a servant to help you down, lest you get tired.”Logan was flattered and said, “Thank you for your concern, Miss. I’ll have no problem going down on my own. It’s much easier to go down, after all.”When Vera saw his insistence, she did not say anything else, nodded, and spoke up, “You can go ahead, then. I’ll go down when the car arrives.”“Okay, Miss. I’ll take my leave, then.”After Logan was done speaking, he cupped his fists together, bowed slightly to Vera, then slowly retreated. Vera had never been

    Marianne had just arrived at the main entrance of Scarlet Pinnacle Manor. She never expected that Logan would have such a magnificent manor in this kind of place.Although many wealthy people’s mansions were also built on the mountains in Hong Kong, no one could own a whole mountain by himself. The villas on Steerlain Island were nothing compared to his exclusive villa.The car drove into the manor and stopped outside the grand entrance of the main building of the one-story compound.This place was like a hotel, designed with a wide porch to park three cars side by side. Logan and his wife held hands as they walked out of the main hall to welcome her. As soon as Marianne got out of the car, she saw the elderly couple smiling brightly as they walked out. She hurried forward to greet them and said respectfully, “Grandpa, Grandma, it’s been a long time, but you two are still in such good health!”Logan smiled and said, “Marianne, we haven’t seen each other for so many years and yo

    Vera walked over from the main hall with a light gait.Marianne only had one thought in her mind when she saw Vera. ‘How can there be such a beautiful girl?’It was not that Marianne was making a big fuss.In fact, Marianne had seen countless young beauties because of her father’s flirtatious nature. Hong Kong as well as more than half of Asia’s entertainment circle had been her father’s hunting ground back then. Which one of the female celebrities who were caught in the scandals and media reports were not beauties?What’s more, Hong Kong has always been the fashion and financial center of Asia over the past few decades. Many handsome men and beautiful women from all over the world were gathered in that narrow and cramped corner of the city, so Marianne’s aesthetics had long been tired and even a little numb. But even so, she was still shocked when she saw Vera for the first time.Vera was the type of beauty that she had almost never seen before.It was no longer perfect to t

    Vera nodded in agreement after hearing this but she did not agree with Marianne at all.She felt that Marianne’s remarks seemed normal at first glance. Hong Kong was indeed a first-tier international city and was naturally fast-paced. It was also packed with a lot of people with a small amount of land. Many people worked hard all their lives but could never even afford to purchase a small house that was thirty to forty square meters, so many young people from Hong Kong began to head to Oskia for development, especially the special zone adjacent to Hong Kong which attracted many young people from Hong Kong.However, Vera knew very well that Hong Kong was a place where paradise and hell co-existed.It was not unusual for a poor family of six to seven members to be crammed in a room that was only ten square meters, and there were even some people who lived in places where a bed could not even fit. However, there were also top tycoons who could build super luxury mansions that looked

    As soon as Vera thought of this, she looked at Marianne again, and she suddenly smiled as she teased, “Marianne, I don’t think you’re here to look for a job after coming to Aurous Hill all the way from Hong Kong!”Marianne asked in surprise, “Why do you say that?”Vera laughed and said, “It feels more like you’ve come to pursue your sweetheart despite all odds.”Vera’s seemingly teasing words touched the depths of Marianne’s heart. She was instantly flustered and hurriedly tried to cover up as she said, “How... How could that be? I’ve never been to Aurous Hill, and I don’t have any acquaintances here, let alone a sweetheart.”Although Marianne was in a hurry to hide her true feelings, Vera had already captured the panic in her expression.It was this slight change that made Vera even more certain that her judgment was definitely correct. Coupled with Marianne’s identity, who else aside from Charlie could make a rich young lady such as Marianne put everything aside to come all th

    Marianne hurriedly said, “No need, Lady Carrick. I think this kind of thing needs to be encountered slowly by oneself. If you can’t encounter it, it means that your fate is not here and there will always be someone for you if you wait a little longer.”When Lady Carrick noticed her firm attitude, she sighed faintly and nodded slightly. After lunch, Marianne rested in Scarlet Pinnacle Manor for a while before she was then accompanied by Madam Marilyn as she headed to Aurous University for the interview.Vera smiled brightly as she sent Marianne to the car. After the car had left Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, Vera’s innocent and pleasant smile instantly dissipated as she turned around, and it was replaced by her usual calm demeanor. Logan followed behind and said respectfully, “Miss, can I ask you a question?”Logan was puzzled because he could see that Vera was playing tricks on Marianne just now. He had some doubts and wondered why Vera was doing this.Vera knew what Logan wanted to

    Vera was not surprised at all when Logan was full of doubts and reported the information to Vera.She simply smirked and said, “Charlie is obviously married, but he is still attracting women everywhere. He could make Marianne come all the way to Aurous Hill for him after just a trip to Hong Kong, so he will probably attract other women too if he goes to other places. If you dig out Charlie’s trajectory over the past few years, you will probably be able to find many women who are infatuated with him.”Logan smiled embarrassedly and sighed, “I can only say that this kid really has extraordinary charisma. However, I’m afraid that Marianne will not be able to achieve a positive result if she has fallen for a married man like him.”Vera smiled faintly, thought of something, and asked Logan, “Can you find out what identity Charlie used and why he went to Hong Kong to meet Shawn previously.”“This can be settled easily.” Logan nodded and said, “I’ll just call Shawn and ask him about it.”

    The wealth of the Rothschild family had long been beyond the estimation or calculation of outsiders. Over the years, they had made both visible and hidden investments in countless fields. All offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as long as they remained unlisted, were not required to disclose shareholder information. Among them were numerous companies in which the Rothschild family held shares or even controls. The true value of these holdings was impossible to verify. Even for listed companies, shareholder information was only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market was bought and held through various channels that were impossible to count. In addition, the Rothschild family had investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, and other areas around the world. It could be said that any industry that was at the forefront of the trend could make enormous wealth. In colonial times, Britain was known as the em

    Since both Harrison and Helena had reached an agreement, Helena took out a pen and amended the details of the contract. The whole process was recorded, and coupled with Helena's identity as the Nordic Queen and the high traffic on the internet, she was not at all worried that Harrison would go back on his word. After the two sides agreed on the terms of the contract, Harrison wrote his name on the contract, and then the two sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially in effect. After everything was settled, Helena put the contract away, turned off the video recording on her phone, and beamed, "It's been a pleasure working together, Mr. Rothschild!" Harrison hastily asked, "Y-Your Majesty, can you please give me the pill now?" "Of course." Helena handed him the pill swiftly and said, "Even though my family doesn't have a lot of money, we always attach great importance to the spirit of the contract." Harrison stretched out his trembling hand and took the pill.

    Helena said, "Mr. Harrison, your family is involved in almost all of the institutions that are major shareholders of Nvidia, and you also hold a lot of floating shares in the secondary market. You got these shares very early, and the chips were very low. As Nvidia's stock price has gone up to over 1 trillion, you have made a lot of money." Harrison had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received a concession of 10 billion, so when Helena started to talk about his past, he quickly explained, "Business is business... Whatever we earn from Nvidia shouldn't be mixed with this matter, w-w-wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?" "Agreed." Helena nodded. "However, since I'm granting you a hundred billion in hardware costs, this absolutely ties back to Nvidia. You'll ultimately need to procure the AI model hardware through them, and as a shareholder, any bulk orders from Nvidia will effectively be you moving money from one hand to the other." "First, even if the listed cost is a hundred b

    Helena was not afflicted by Harrison's annoyance. She said lightly, "Calm down, Mr. Harrison. I haven't finished." After a short pause, she continued, "I want your model for my own use, not for any commercial use, which means it will have no impact on your original market. I just want a completely identical replica for my own use. For you, it's nothing more than giving me a copy, a set of hardware, and twenty years of maintenance fee. That shouldn't cost much, right?" "H-How can I be sure that y-you won't use it for commercial purposes?" Helena smiled and said, "That's the specific detail I'll talk about next. You will still pay me 100 billion dollars, but I will sign a contract with you stating that 50 billion dollars of that will be returned to you at the rate of 2.5 billion dollars per year for the next 20 years. "If you stop upgrading and maintaining the model, I will stop the subsequent return of the money." "If I use your AI model for commercial purposes, you can immedi

    Helena added, "In fact, Mr. Rothschild, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the family's sake, you could save this money and allow it to contribute to the future development of the family. Who knows—perhaps your descendants would even build a monument in your honor." Feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen, Harrison covered his stomach and waved her off. "Alright, t-that's enough. Since it's a deal, y-you name your price, a-and I can negotiate, so let me give you... a one-and-done price." With that, he held up five fingers, resolutely declaring, "50 billion dollars! Not a penny more! Any more, and even if I regain my health, I'll feel miserable. Just thinking about spending hundreds of billions on a single pill might ruin my happiness in old age." The thought of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a single pill genuinely pained Harrison. Some people, even without money, still acted generous. But some, when they had wealth, became increasingly stingy. Some believ

    Harrison initially thought that 100 million dollars was already an astronomical figure and that offering this amount would sufficiently demonstrate his sincerity. However, he never expected that Helena, upon hearing this offer, couldn't even be bothered to negotiate and would turn to leave. He had just felt the tangible effects of the medicine. If one-tenth had such an impact, taking a whole pill would undoubtedly restore him to his former self. He couldn't afford to miss this rare opportunity. So, he quickly called out, "Your Majesty! Whatever the matter is, we can discuss it, b-but why are you leaving?" Helena explained lightly, "I have never liked to negotiate partnerships with ignorant people. If you believe your health is worth only 100 million dollars, then, frankly, what is there left for me to discuss with you? Although I may not have as much money as you, in my view, my health is certainly worth more than that amount." Harrison was rendered speechless. He hadn't ex

    Helena didn't give Harrison a chance to resist. She pinched his cheeks on both sides, forcing his mouth to open. Then, she poured the water containing the dissolved Healing Pill directly into his mouth. Harrison was so scared that the blood drained from his face. He wanted to kick and struggle, but he was trembling profusely and couldn't do anything. The thought of Helena trying to poison him gave him a chill to the marrow. He wanted to spit out the water, but Helena didn't give him a chance. While the water was still in his mouth, she threw the glass aside with her other hand, grabbed his chin, and lifted it up, snarling, "Drink it!" The moment Harrison's chin was lifted, his esophagus directly opened. The water, which was not much, went straight down his esophagus into his stomach, and he literally drank it. Harrison's eyes were full of fear at this moment. He thought that he might not even have time to say goodbye before he died. The next second, when he felt a different k

    Harrison scoffed when he heard Helena's suggestion. He snapped angrily, "I-I-I have the best medical team in the world, and t-they don't even dare say such a thing. W-Who do you think you are?!" Helena smirked and replied, "Your team can't cure you, but I can." With that, she took out the Healing Pill that Charlie had given her from her purse and said to Harrison, "This pill comes from the ancient and mysterious East. Once you take it, you'll be restored to your former self. To alleviate your concerns, I can let you take one-tenth of it for free before we discuss terms so that you can truly feel its effectiveness. After that, we can discuss the pricing." Harrison, without any hesitation, disdainfully replied, "I-I would never b-b-believe in such a r-ridiculous pill! T-T-This b-bullshit has no scientific ba-a-asis at all!" Helena sneered contemptuously, "If you believe in science so much, why are you afraid of the Qing Eliminating Society? Can they possibly be a match for your

    Helena pursed her lips, looked at Harrison, and then looked at Julien, pretending to be hesitant to speak. Despite his paralyzed body, Harrison was still as sly and smart as ever, so he looked at Julien and said, "Julien, clear the room. I want to talk to Her Majesty alone." Knowing that Harrison was trying to give him a boost, Julien immediately said, "Okay, Dad!" After that, he quickly asked the doctor to leave. Before leaving, he turned and said to Harrison, "Dad, you have all the time in the world. Please have a nice chat with Her Majesty. I'll ask everyone to keep a distance of 20 meters from the room. Please rest assured." Harrison nodded in satisfaction and flicked in the air at him twice, motioning for him to leave. Julien gleefully closed the door and promptly urged everyone to stay 20 meters away from the room, including himself. Seeing that the room was clear, Helena cut to the chase. As she looked at Harrison on the bed, she stated, "Mr. Harrison, the main reaso
