At 35, Jiang Xiaoli went wild skiing with friends, only to die in an avalanche. She woke up to find herself back at 16, a year when her beloved mother was still alive!
Given a second chance, ...
Chang Yue and Yan Chengcheng exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously, indicating, "We will consider it carefully."
After the discussion ended, Jiang Xiaoli climbed onto the bed. "Alright, all my beloved concubines may leave. I'm going to take a nap."
Yan Chengcheng was reluctant to leave. "Do you think I can apply to move in?"
After Sun Weiwei and Jinzhi moved out, two beds in dormitory 307 became empty.
Hu Jingxin's eyes lit up. "Great! Chengcheng, I'll go with you to ask this afternoon! If we don't apply now, the school might arrange for new students to move in next semester!"
Yan Chengcheng nodded, "Okay! I'll ask when the teacher comes to work this afternoon."
Fang Yong has been particularly easy to talk to lately. This afternoon, Yan Chengcheng mentioned that she wanted to move to dormitory 307, and he immediately found a dormitory application form from a stack of documents.
"Fill out this form, and then you can move it when you get back. I'll get it stamped for you. You can come back tomorrow to pick up the paperwork and give it to your dorm supervisor."
Yan Chengcheng bowed to Fang Yong with delight, "Thank you, Teacher Fang!"
Fang Yong smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, go back and say goodbye to your old roommates before you move."
"Okay, I understand!"
That evening, Hu Jingxin and a few others helped her move her things over in no time.
Yan Chengcheng looked at the luggage scattered all over the floor, put her hands on her hips and said, "Now I'm finally an official member of 307!"
Ren Zhiyi nodded with a smile, "Now we're finally complete. Xiaoli said she'll throw you a small welcome ceremony tomorrow at noon."
Chang Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, "Is she planning to try some new restaurant again?"
The girls in the dorm burst into laughter instantly. Hu Jingxin collapsed onto her bed, "Haha! Xiaoyue, you know Xiaoli too well!"
Chang Yue's guess was absolutely right. Right now, Jiang Xiaoli was asking Zhong Yuan what dishes were good at that restaurant.
Zhong Yuan stroked his chin as he recited the menu for her, but then he objected, "Little Pear, why don't you just take me with you?"
She shook her head. "It's so inconvenient for you to come back in the middle of the day! Besides, tomorrow is the day we're welcoming Chengcheng to move into our dorm. Why are you getting involved? Even if you asked Xinxin, she wouldn't agree."
Zhong Yuan curled his lip, "You girls always have so much to do!"
"What do you know!" she said dismissively. "Rituals are very important, okay!"
Zong Jia waited until the two of them finished arguing before saying, "Come back early tomorrow night. Godmother has found two aunties to come and taste the dishes."
Dafu was moved to tears, "This is wonderful! I can finally escape this sea of suffering!"
After Aunt Zhang resigned, Dafu took over the job of cooking for the group.
I thought it would be nice to cook occasionally, but these three people were all incredibly picky, which made Dafu curse while cooking.
Zhong Yuan laughed and said, "Fu Zi, we're testing you on behalf of Chang Yue! Tell me, with your current skill level, do you even have the nerve to say you can cook?"
Dafu rolled his eyes. "It's still better than you, who can only give orders with your mouth!"
The other two maintained their admirable virtue of keeping quiet when they couldn't do something, and sat aside watching the two of them argue.
The conversation between the two ended with Dafu saying, "You're not allowed to eat any of the food I cook from now on!"
Jiang Xiaoli burst into laughter and fell into Zong Jia's arms, "Why does Brother Yuan always end up shooting himself in the foot? It's hilarious!"
Zong Jiayu analyzed, "Could this be the fish's memory?"
After joking around for a while, Dafu found Jiang Xiaoli and asked, "Xiaoli, I heard from Yueyue that you're planning to increase investment in the clothing company to expand it?"
She nodded. "Well, I originally wanted to give '307' more time, so that everyone would have some money before developing further and no one would be left out. But now that this topic has been brought up, I don't think there's any need to wait any longer."
Dafu hesitated for a moment and said, "Little Pear, can I cover Xiaoyue's share of the cost?"
Jiang Xiaoli explained to him, "Xiaoyue currently holds 4% of the shares. I plan to increase the investment by 50 million yuan. If she wants her shares to not be diluted, she needs to invest 2 million yuan, which is not a small amount for Xiaoyue."
I've already offered her and Chengcheng interest-free loans, but it's best if she discusses it with her family and decides for herself. I believe that if you directly tell Xiaoyue you're offering to pay this money, she won't agree.
Dafu nodded after hearing her words, "You're very thoughtful."
Zhong Yuan became interested upon hearing their conversation, "Little Pear, what about Xin Xin? How much will she have to pay?"
“12 million,” Jiang Xiaoli replied. “Xin Xin owns 24% of the company’s shares.”
Zhong Yuan immediately shut up, "Hehe, even if I wanted to help Xin Xin, I don't have that much money on hand."
Dafu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Your father-in-law won't let a son-in-law like you pay for it!"
"Tsk tsk." Zhong Yuan sighed, "I'll give Lao Shen a call and urge him on! Why is this movie filming so slowly? At this rate, when will it wrap up and when will it be released!"
"Yu Jia Technology" will not distribute dividends in the short term, and Zhong Yuan is just waiting for Shen Zhaokun's movie to be released to make a fortune.
Seeing that the two of them were discussing paying for their girlfriends' money, Zong Jia held Jiang Xiaoli's hand and said, "My Xiaoli is so capable!"
Jiang Xiaoli popped a grape into her mouth, raised an eyebrow proudly, and said, "That's right!"
The plan of "307 Clothing Company" to expand its scale and increase its capital has caused a great uproar in the homes of the other shareholders.
Both Hu Jingxin and Ren Zhiyi come from families in business, so they are relatively accepting of this.
They were only concerned with the actual operation of the company their child had started, and whether it was worth investing so much money in.
For them, the money invested in the early stages of the company can be seen as an encouragement for their children to try their hand at something new, but when it comes to investments of tens of millions, they need to think carefully.
Yan Chengcheng and Chang Yue come from different families; they are both ordinary working-class families.
In particular, only Yan Chengcheng's father works in her family, while her mother is a full-time housewife.
Last year, Yan Chengcheng told her family that she and her classmates had started a company together. Not only did they not invest any money, but they also received more than 20,000 yuan in dividends before the Lunar New Year. Yan's mother boasted about it to everyone.
But when she received her daughter's call this time, and heard that she wanted to borrow 2 million yuan from her classmate to invest in the company, she instantly exploded and shouted at Yan Chengcheng, "No way! If you dare to sign this IOU, don't acknowledge me as your mother! What kind of classmate is this? Have you been scammed?"
No matter how Yan Chengcheng explained, her mother's disapproval was final.
Chang Yue's situation is similar to hers, but her parents are more receptive to their daughter's advice.
Mr. Chang said, “Yue’er, we understand your desire to make a name for yourself, but there are always risks in doing business. If it were just a few tens of thousands of yuan, your parents would grit their teeth and agree, but this is 2 million yuan! If something goes wrong, our family will have to live with a huge debt for the rest of our lives, and we can’t afford that!”
