"I didn't expect your destination to be here too. I wish I had brought you with me."
Shui Jing looked at Mu Liuyun with a smile, her gaze sweeping over Mu Liuyun as if she wanted to see through her.
Mu Liuyun frowned. He couldn't understand why this woman, whom he had only met once, acted as if she knew him very well.
Could it be that she was sent by that Uncle Dong?
That's not right. If that were the case, she could have attacked me as soon as I got off the plane.
"You know me?"
"I know you. My younger sister has told me a lot about you."
After saying that, Shui Jing took off her sunglasses.
A beautiful face was revealed behind the sunglasses to Mu Liuyun. Looking at those somewhat familiar faces, Mu Liuyun remembered that Shui Qing had once mentioned to her that she had an older sister.
"You're Shuiqing's outstanding older sister?"
Seeing Shui Jing nod, Mu Liuyun was even more confused.
What do you want from me?
Could it be that Shui Qing's remarks have affected the Shui family, so they've come to me for an explanation?
“I didn’t come here to see you. I was just preparing to discuss cooperation with Beiji Village. It was purely coincidental that we met.”
"But now, I do have something to discuss with you."
With the village chief as witness, Shui Jing and Mu Liuyun talked for a long time.
Shui Jing's request was simple: she wanted Mu Liuyun to work for the Shui family and offered him a company as its general manager.
Mu Liuyun naturally refused. He didn't want to work for someone else again, as it would remind him of some unpleasant things.
Therefore, Shui Jing sought cooperation, offering to help Mu Liuyun start a company in exchange for shares in Mu Liuyun's company.
Mu Liuyun had no reason to refuse this. The last time they were able to do live-streaming e-commerce, it was because they were just helping others sell goods and didn't need their business licenses.
However, Mu Liuyun's account will definitely grow bigger and bigger, and sooner or later she will need to set up a company to obtain the necessary qualifications. With Shui Jing's help, a lot of trouble can be avoided.
"Okay, I'll bring the business license over within three days. I hope you'll do your best, Xiaoyun."
After the deal was finalized, Shui Jing followed the village chief to have dinner. Just before leaving, she suddenly blurted out, "Could Xiao Qing's livestream get us an opportunity?"
Upon hearing Shui Jing's words, Mu Liuyun, who was about to continue editing the video, paused and said, "I am very pleased with her growth."
"Me too."
Mu Liuyun's answer was completely irrelevant, but Shui Jing already understood his meaning and turned to leave.
She could give her sister anything she wanted; she could even find a way to buy the stars in the sky.
But if it were someone who didn't have a clearly marked price, Shui Jing would be somewhat at a loss.
Before leaving the convenience store, Shui Jing looked back at the "Er Ya Convenience Store" sign one last time and gave a wry smile: "Xiao Qing, you still have to think of a way."
...
...
In downtown Peanut District, the capital of the United States, a grand banquet has just concluded in a luxury villa.
The villa's owner, a very capable-looking middle-aged man, was standing at the door, seeing off his distinguished guests.
An elderly man with blond hair and sallow skin walked towards him and spoke in broken Chinese: "Oh, Lin, tonight is a wonderful surprise!"
The middle-aged man smiled and shook the old man's hand: "Mr. Te Lipu, congratulations on your election."
Te Lipu shook his head: "Your help is very important, thank you."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and before leaving, in a particularly outrageous move, they wished each other well in Chinese: "Lin, I hope your daughter recovers soon, and I also hope your son returns soon."
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then smiled again: "Thank you for your kind words."
After the old man left, the once lively villa fell silent instantly. The middle-aged man collapsed onto the sofa, feeling utterly exhausted.
A woman of short stature, who bore a resemblance to Mu Liuyun, wrapped her arms around his neck from behind: "Jianguo, are you tired?"
The man nodded: "Yes, a little, but now that Telou has taken office, we can relax for a while."
The man was none other than Lin Jianguo, the current head of the Lin family, one of the two major families in Jincheng. The woman embracing him was his wife, Lin Ying.
They are the biological parents of the five Lin sisters, and also guests of honor of the current President of the United States.
"How are Xue Lan's ears?"
"She's almost fully recovered. These past two days she's been telling me she wants to go back to China to help Hongmei."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianguo sighed: "It must have been tough on Hongmei. All the domestic business was entrusted to her, and she was even put in charge of looking after that troublemaker Yu Rou."
As the eldest daughter, Lin Hongmei truly shouldered the entire business in China single-handedly. Besides that, she also had to contend with the covetousness of the older members of the Lin family. Lin Jianguo felt he had let his eldest daughter down.
"...Mr. Te Lipu, do you have any news about Yunze?"
Lin Jianguo shook his head: "Still no."
"So, do we really have to wait until the agreed-upon time?"
Lin Ying's voice trembled slightly, and even carried a hint of a sob.
Back then, in order to expand into overseas markets, Lin Ying, who was pregnant, followed Lin Jianguo to the United States. With their joint efforts, the business grew bigger and bigger, and her belly grew larger and larger.
The couple were overjoyed, especially when they learned that the child was a boy.
Although they didn't have a preference for sons over daughters, having had five daughters, they would inevitably want to have a son.
But on the day of delivery, their newborn baby was taken away by a nurse.
The nurse disappeared after leaving the hospital, leaving behind only a letter: "Stay abroad and don't come back to China. You will see him in twenty-two years."
Lin Jianguo knew that the letter must have been left by those old folks in the Lin family, but he had no choice but to obey for the sake of his child.
He wasn't stupid; he knew the child was most likely gone, and the letter was just a delaying tactic to postpone their return home, but he dared not gamble.
However, he wasn't completely unprepared. On one hand, he was searching extensively in the United States, and on the other hand, he was trying to prevent the old fogies of the Lin family from seizing power.
"My poor son..."
Mentioning Lin Yunze brought tears to Lin Ying's eyes again. Lin Jianguo hugged her tightly, and just as he was about to comfort her, his phone rang.
"Hongmei? What's up so late?"
"Dad, look at this video! I think I've found my brother!"
