Upon hearing this, not only was Shi Jing surprised, but the beautiful woman next to Cai Fanghai also looked displeased.
These two are clearly here on a date, and Shi Jing doesn't want to be a third wheel.
Before Shi Jing could speak, Rong Yu had already spoken up to refuse: "No need, Mr. Cai, it's not convenient."
Shi Jing didn't speak, but his expression showed agreement.
Cai Fanghai was slightly taken aback, but then smiled again: "In that case, I won't bother you any longer."
Even after being rejected by the two, Cai Fanghai remained very polite.
This made Shi Jing even more puzzled; his temper was far too good.
If they had had a good relationship before, it would be fine, but now this only makes her wonder if this person has ulterior motives.
After Cai Fanghai and his companion said goodbye and returned to their seats, they finally relaxed and felt at ease again.
Rong Yu looked in Cai Fanghai's direction, seemingly lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Shi Jing noticed Rong Yu was lost in thought and waved her hand in front of him.
"It's nothing." Rong Yu came back to her senses. "Is there enough food? Would you like to order some more?"
"That's enough, that's enough. How can we eat so much?" Shi Jing quickly refused.
She took a sip of her drink and thought of the task assigned by the system. Now was the perfect time to bring it up: "Rong Yu, there's something I want to ask you."
"Hmm?" Rong Yu looked at Shi Jing curiously. "What is it? Tell me."
"Didn't you say before that you need to raise investment for your projects? Do you have that need now, or do any of your colleagues have an investment gap in this area?"
Rong Yu didn't understand Shi Jing's meaning at first, but he soon realized that Shi Jing wanted to invest in the research and development project.
He didn't refuse, but he still had to make things clear: "The investment gap has always existed, but the investment cycle for scientific research projects is relatively long and the risks are relatively high. If you're just doing this on a whim, there's no need to get involved in this field."
Rong Yu certainly hopes that more people will engage in scientific research, since although the country provides strong support, there are still far more researchers and projects to be done.
However, out of friendship, he didn't want Shi Jing to act on impulse. For investors, not seeing returns for a long time is also quite mentally taxing.
"Don't worry, I've already looked into the risks. Besides, even if there are projects, I'll take a look at them; I won't invest blindly." Shi Jing noticed his concern and explained, "I have some funds that I don't need right now, about one or two hundred million yuan. There's no point in leaving them lying around; I might as well use them to do something meaningful."
Seeing that she was clear-headed and not acting on impulse, Rongyu promised to recommend her to investors if he came across a suitable project.
"Alright, it's settled then." With that, Shi Jing picked up her drink and gently clinked it against Rong Yu's.
What she didn't notice was that the woman who was following Cai Fanghai, who was initially somewhat hostile towards her and was even thinking about whether there was a chance to embarrass her, overheard the latter part of her words.
She immediately stopped fidgeting and quickly returned to Cai Fanghai's seat with the juice she had just bought.
Cai Fanghai was scrolling through his phone at the moment, and without even looking up when he heard the noise, he said, "Why did it take you so long?"
The woman smiled ingratiatingly and said coquettishly, "There are so many flavors, I spent a while choosing."
After saying that, he casually asked, "Honey, who was that girl just now?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Fanghai raised his head, glanced at the woman, and then looked in the direction of Shi Jing: "I don't know anything about that person's background either, so don't do anything stupid."
Cai Fanghai is a womanizer and a playboy, but he's not brainless. Ever since he met Shi Jing over a year ago, he's felt that this woman's wealth is extraordinary. Upon closer investigation, he actually uncovered some things, but at the same time, her background became even more mysterious.
No one would turn down money, especially when it comes to a generous young woman; who knows, there might be opportunities to work together in the future.
"How could that be?" the woman said with a coquettish smile. "I won't cause you any trouble."
“That would be best,” Cai Fanghai said, then added a word of advice, “There are many wealthy and powerful people in this capital. You’re new here and don’t know them all, so keep a low profile.”
The woman felt a little guilty about what she had just done, but fortunately, she realized something was wrong after overhearing the conversation between the two people and quickly withdrew.
"I know, I won't act impulsively."
After this incident, the woman kept Shi Jing's appearance in mind and vowed never to offend him unless absolutely necessary.
The rest of the trip went smoothly until a week later, when the journey was basically over and Rongyu was about to return to Dingdu.
At the same time, Shi Jing was also planning to go to Dingdu. Now that she had accepted the system's mission, she had to talk to Zhang Ningyuan and his investment team; she couldn't just sit back and do nothing forever.
The two bought tickets for the same flight and flew back to Dingdu smoothly.
After disembarking, the two parted ways at the airport because they were going in different directions.
The airport isn't far from the research center, but it's much farther from Time Mirror's company.
Fortunately, she had messaged Zhang Sumu in advance, and he had already arranged for a company car to pick her up.
Over the past year, Zhang Sumu has been very dedicated to his work with the charity foundation and projects. Although the high annual salary offered by Shi Jing was undoubtedly a major factor, it was also quite remarkable that he managed the company so well in just over a year without giving Xiao Caishen any obvious leverage over him.
Shi Jing got into the car that came to pick her up, and the car sped off to the company.
The projects from the fund weren't complicated, especially since there was a system in place to oversee them. However, to avoid being completely clueless, Shi Jing still carefully reviewed each one.
She can review fund projects very quickly. Compared to the fund, the investment team's accounts are relatively more complicated, since the fund spends money while the investment team has both inflows and outflows.
With this in mind, Shi Jing deliberately postponed reviewing this part of the accounts until tomorrow, and also to discuss the film and television investment plan.
She was originally managing this project alone, but since she will be mainly operating in this category from now on, she will naturally need to make plans.
As for who should be in charge of this area, she hasn't thought of a suitable candidate yet. Having spent so many years in school, and not being particularly sociable, she doesn't know many people with expertise in this field.
Previously, I had met some industry leaders with Zhang Ningyuan, but while we could cooperate, poaching people was not a good idea.
She thought and thought, but couldn't think of a suitable candidate. So she decided to ask for everyone's opinions at the meeting the next day, hoping to find a suitable candidate.
With that thought in mind, she stopped dwelling on the issue and directly notified everyone to have a meeting the next day.
