Although it was already the end of August, the weather was still very hot.
Shi Jing had just arrived at Fang Ning's dormitory and put her things down when her phone rang. She hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath when her phone started ringing.
Upon checking the caller ID, it turned out to be Jiang An.
Since Shi Jing hired Jiang An last year to help her with investment matters, she has hardly had to worry about anything this year.
Jiang An is quite capable, and he is also quite familiar with this field, having been exposed to a lot of promising research.
Furthermore, Jiang An would summarize his investments every month and send it to Shi Jing so that she could keep track of where the money was spent and how effective and progressing it was.
It must be said that with Jiang An's help, Shi Jing's workload was greatly reduced.
However, she didn't tell Jiang An about her visit to the research center, and she didn't know why he called.
She answered the phone, and Jiang An's voice came through very quickly.
"Young boss, Mr. Sun's research lab has produced results and will soon be entering preclinical trials. Yanghai Pharmaceuticals is also interested in the research of this drug and intends to increase its investment. I wonder if you could take some time to talk to them?"
"Around when?" Shi Jing asked.
"The other party still needs to conduct some preliminary research, which is expected to begin in early September."
Early September?
Shi Jing thought for a moment. School was about to start, and they didn't have much time.
After thinking it over, she decided that Jiang An would be in charge of this matter.
“Our school starts on September 1st, and I probably won’t be able to find the time. I’ll leave this matter to your team.”
"Okay. So, what are the young boss's opinions on the cooperation?"
"Check whether Yanghai is reliable. If they are, then we can have a proper discussion. After all, once a drug is developed, it needs to be launched on the market. If they are not reliable, then we can continue to look for partners. Don't worry about the investment; I can provide it."
Shi Jing spoke with considerable confidence.
Thanks to the little god of wealth, the returns on her research projects were very high, so she was even more willing to invest money in this area.
“Okay, boss, I understand,” Jiang An replied.
After expressing his opinion, Shi Jing quickly hung up the phone.
Shi Jing herself didn't actually have much need to spend money, and the little god of wealth gave her enough.
Instead of just leaving this money sitting there, it would be better to do more things that benefit people's livelihoods and the country.
For example, drug research, technological development, and assistance in public welfare undertakings.
For this reason, Shijing is particularly willing to spend money on both public welfare and scientific research.
In both of these aspects, the Little God of Wealth rewards them exceptionally generously.
After she finished dealing with this matter, Rong Yu, who had been listening to the phone call, asked, "School is about to start, so are you planning to go back to Beijing?"
"Okay," Shi Jing replied. "Tickets for the day after tomorrow."
As soon as Fang Ning entered the door, she busied herself taking drinks from the refrigerator.
He has even less stuff here than Rongyu has there, after all, he just moved here not long ago, and even the kitchen countertop is empty.
Clearly, he doesn't usually cook.
Looking at his house, and then thinking of Rong Yu's house from earlier, Shi Jing couldn't help but sigh. Both of them had a bit of a workaholic streak, and their personal living space was actually very small.
Shi Jing took a bottle of chilled juice, unscrewed it, and took a sip. In the sweltering summer, a refreshing drink was quite pleasant.
She took a breath, looked at the empty room, and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"
"No problem, we can eat in the cafeteria, it's convenient," Fang Ning said succinctly.
Shi Jing didn't offer much opinion on their living conditions. She just thought that if she had the chance, she would buy them more food and supplies to keep on hand.
Did you go back to the orphanage this year?
Jing initially planned to visit the orphanage last year, but something came up and she couldn't go.
This year has been even busier than usual, and I even went abroad, but I couldn't make it there.
I wonder if Fang Ning went back this year.
"No, graduation, too many things to do."
The mirror clearly shows the time.
After all, Fang Ning's education was different from theirs, which was typical for students.
Fang Ning completed her undergraduate and graduate studies in just a few years, which made her much busier than students like her who followed the established path.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Xiao should be starting elementary school by now, right? How's his health lately?"
Fang Ning's expression softened at the mention of Xiao Xiao. A faint smile appeared in his eyes as he said to Shi Jing, "She's in elementary school, lively now, and in good health."
Upon hearing Fang Ning's words, Shi Jing also smiled.
Xiao Xiao suffered a lot as a child because of congenital heart disease. Fortunately, she had surgery early and can now jump and play like a normal child, leading a normal life.
This is probably the meaning of public welfare.
Shi Jing has always been very fond of her charitable foundation, and positive feedback like Xiao Xiao's is exactly what she is happy to see.
The three of them quickly stopped feeling hot in the air-conditioned room.
After talking with Fang Ning for a while, Shi Jing couldn't help but cast his gaze at Rong Yu beside him.
He was sitting on the sofa, looking slightly dazed.
Shi Jing could tell that he was actually quite tired.
If he hadn't come today, he might still be working in the lab, or perhaps he would have been able to rest for a while.
Because she was there, Rong Yu stayed with her the whole time, which made Shi Jing feel a little embarrassed.
"You have to work tonight, and you've brought everything over now. Why don't you go back and rest first?"
Rong Yu rubbed his temples, a smile blooming on his slightly pale face. He said apologetically, "Alright. I've been too busy lately. I'll come to the capital to see you after I'm done with this."
Shi Jing did not refuse and nodded.
It wasn't that she wanted to send Rong Yu away, but seeing him like this, Shi Jing was worried that his severe lack of sleep was causing him to feel unwell.
"Once you're done with your work, take a good rest for a while."
"Yes, I will."
Shi Jing escorted the person to the elevator entrance, and Rong Yu waved to her, not letting her continue to escort them downstairs.
"I can go back by myself. You should go back too. It's hot outside."
"Okay, see you next time."
After watching the other person enter the elevator, Shi Jing returned to Fang Ning's dormitory.
He didn't go with Shi Jing to see the people off. While Shi Jing was seeing them off, Fang Ning had already tidied up the things Shi Jing had brought and put them into the storage cabinet and refrigerator.
The house was very empty, and the things that Shi Jing brought had hardly changed the dormitory.
Looking at Fang Ning's somewhat immature appearance, Shi Jing couldn't help but ruffle his hair.
"Take good care of yourself. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to tell me. Don't keep it to yourself."
"Mmm." Fang Ning nodded obediently, her eyes full of trust.
