As expected, Yang Yajing sold her shares in Xiamen New Materials in October at the end of 2002.

Just as Yang Yajing remembered, the positive financial report caused the stock price to double, which made Xia Changlong appreciate Yang Yajing's abilities even more.

Yang Yajing only invested a few million, but the consulting fees she received from Xia Changlong amounted to more than a few million, which gave Yang Yajing more working capital to carry out the next wave of planning.

Remember the pharmaceutical stocks Yang Yajing invested in? Actually, she just wanted to collect some low-priced stocks before a global health war in 2003.

Now is the truly crucial moment for investing.

When Xia Changlong asked what to invest the spare money in, Yang Yajing told him to put all the money into pharmaceutical stocks.

Although Xia Changlong also wanted the Xia family to invest in medicine, Yang Yajing rejected the idea.

First, Xia's Group has not entered the pharmaceutical sector, yet it still has to hold a shareholders' meeting, which is annoying!

Secondly, Yang Yajing now owns one percent of the shares, and in principle, she should attend the shareholders' meeting. However, she doesn't want to appear in that cesspool yet.

Finally, Yang Yajing knew that in 2003, due to that health war, online sales would rise, and that was the real concern for Xia Changlong's Xia family.

But she couldn't tell Xia Changlong directly that there would be a wave of online sales in 2003. She could only hint at it indirectly, telling him not to get stuck in one sector.

Xia Changlong understood this principle far better than Yang Yajing, so he naturally assumed that Yang Yajing was merely rationally analyzing the theory.

As for Yang Yajing, at this moment she thought of Quan Wukang and Chu Haotian.

One is a business adventurer, the other a tech whiz. Bringing these two together is the key to unlocking online sales potential.

Of course, online sales cannot function without express delivery. So... Yang Yajing thought of Zhou Pengfei's good friend from elementary school—Bian Xiaoming.

Bian Xiaoming didn't go to university; instead, he attended a junior college. His family used to run a car repair shop, but in recent years they started buying old batteries, refurbishing them, and selling them as secondhand electric bikes.

In his previous life, Bian Xiaoming worked as a courier and later became a dispatcher for a courier company.

This was an industry that only the poorest could afford to work in, but Bian Xiaoming loved and was very dedicated to it. Zhou Pengfei once said that Bian Xiaoming felt he was a red blood cell in the city's veins, and would always be needed.

In this life, Yang Yajing doesn't want Bian Xiaoming to start from scratch in the courier business again. Instead, she hopes to invest in him and start a courier company.

Their shop can handle the maintenance of your electric scooter, saving you money!

But I haven't been in touch with this person much lately. I only heard Zhou Pengfei mention that he was interning at a 4S store.

"Boyfriend! How about we get together with some old classmates for the National Day holiday?" Yang Yajing thought that with the National Day holiday approaching, she could arrange a meeting and try to get the courier company up and running before the health battle.

"Girlfriend, what kind of wicked idea are you up to now?" Zhou Pengfei knew Yang Yajing well; unless something was wrong, she wouldn't want to meet up with someone she hadn't seen in a long time.

Having been dating for almost a year, Yang Yajing's favorite way to date is to snuggle together and whisper sweet nothings.

Find a place to take photos and eat delicious food, find a scenic spot to enjoy the natural scenery, and then go to their secret base to do naughty things.

This so-called secret base was a farmhouse villa that Yang Yajing and Zhou Pengfei bought together by the sea.

Yang Yajing didn't actually need to buy it with Zhou Pengfei; the amount of money was just a drop in the ocean for her.

But what she wanted wasn't a gigolo like Zhou Pengfei, but an equal partner with whom she could spend the rest of her life.

Zhou Pengfei didn't want to be a gigolo either; he wanted to be someone Yang Yajing could rely on.

So when she proposed a joint purchase, proudly saying, "We need to bind them together with shared assets," Zhou Pengfei agreed without hesitation.

Back then, a seaside farmhouse like this would cost around a million, which was more than enough for the two of them.

Yang Yajing also joked that when she retires and is in her seventies or eighties, she will return to this rural villa to live in seclusion.

So when Yang Yajing said she wanted to have a reunion with her childhood friends, Zhou Pengfei guessed what she was thinking.

"Hehe!" Yang Yajing nestled in Zhou Pengfei's arms and giggled, "We're going to do something big next year, and we need helpers."

"You've got your eye on that one?" Zhou Pengfei asked softly, rubbing Yang Yajing's ear.

"I've taken a liking to you, boyfriend. How about comforting your restless heart?" Yang Yajing's fingers began to wander across Zhou Pengfei's chest.

Zhou Pengfei was captivated by her fingers, and struggled to maintain his composure: "Aren't you making plans with anyone?"

"Make an appointment! Of course we should make an appointment! Let's get things done first!" Yang Yajing murmured.

"You little vixen!" Zhou Pengfei flipped over, picked Yang Yajing up from the sofa, and rushed off to take care of "important business."

Several hours later...

Zhou Pengfei looked at Yang Yajing's profile and chuckled to himself: "Meeting someone? She's already snoring away! Selfish desires are ruining my work!"

The next morning, the two of them went out to buy various festive gifts, feeling refreshed.

Both families knew they were dating for a long time, and now their relationship is incredibly good. They always get together for holidays, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere.

The Yang and Zhou families were having such a lively time, and Xia Changlong was filled with envy and jealousy! He wanted to join in the fun too! But the Zhou family didn't know his identity; how awkward would that be?

Not only did the Zhou family not know, but even his own wife didn't know! Sigh! So frustrating, so incredibly frustrating!

It wasn't that Xia Changlong didn't want his wife to know Yang Yajing's identity, but rather that he dared not and could not! At this crucial moment, if Yang Yajing were exposed, things would become much more difficult.
