He Jinnian asked, "I heard from Tao Jin that you also partnered with someone to start a clothing company. How are the profits?"
Su Yan shook her head: "I'm not sure about that yet. The other two partners are in charge of the accounts, and they haven't contacted me yet."
"Huh?" Tao Yue couldn't help but say, "You don't care about something so important? What if those two... Ah Yan, you should be more careful, after all, they're not very close friends."
"No, that won't happen. Sometimes they'll make a copy of the ledger and send it to me, but I don't have time to look at it. Don't worry, I won't be cheated."
Cai Minjun is a wealthy person in Gangcheng, and Du Yun is also not short of money. Neither of them seems like the type to do such a thing. At the most basic level, business partners should have mutual trust.
Tao Yue knew that Su Yan was much smarter than her, so she didn't say anything more.
"Second sister," He Jinnian said with a fawning smile, "about the stocks..."
Su Yan was extremely helpless. "I really don't know which one to buy right now. Once I've decided, I'll contact you as soon as possible, but don't get your hopes up too high."
Su Yan's family knows that she made money buying stocks, and she can now be considered a "small-time rich woman".
However, she's far from being the richest person in the world; she's not even as wealthy as Tao Jin yet.
In the new year, she needs to speed things up, otherwise she will only be busier after taking the postgraduate entrance exam. Her mentor gave her a heads-up during dinner: she must work even harder after the exam and strive to enter the international research institute where her second senior brother works in her second year of graduate school.
Although Ye Feixu was the director of the International Medical Research Institute, it would have been easy for him to arrange for someone to get in. But even if he agreed, his master would not allow her to use connections.
"Junior sister, take me with you next time you buy stocks! Why don't you share such good things with me?" Guo Ziming couldn't help but complain, "I've really spoiled you for nothing."
Su Yan rolled her eyes. "You're already a millionaire, do you really need a little windfall?"
“Second sister, you’re wrong. Who would complain about having too much money?” He Jinnian replied.
"You like money?"
Ye Feixu, who hadn't said a word until now, suddenly asked.
Su Yan was stunned. Guo Ziming patted Ye Feixu on the shoulder with a smile and teased, "Second Senior Brother, your junior sister's grand ambition is to become the richest person in the country. How could she not love money?"
Ye Feixu remained silent, his expression thoughtful.
The group chatted until nearly 11 p.m. before finally leaving.
Besides Jue Lao, Ye Feixu and Guo Ziming also returned to the hospital to continue monitoring the experiments.
The Tao family naturally had to go back. Grandma Tao was getting old and was a bit picky about where she slept. Tao Jin had to go to the company the next day. Tao Yue was currently working as a manager and Tao Jin's secretary at the Tao Group. She took the second position because she wanted to learn from him and quickly catch up with the company's pace.
Fortunately, she's not stupid. Her family is in business, and she's been exposed to it since she was little, so she doesn't find it too difficult to get started now.
Su Yan watched the Tao family's car disappear from sight before she was about to go back inside. Just as she moved, she caught a glimpse of a military green jeep turning and driving this way.
She paused, unsure of who it was.
Su Yu was supposed to come home for dinner tonight, but he hasn't shown up yet, and no one answers his phone. He probably had something urgent to attend to.
The jeep slowly came to a stop in front of her.
The driver's side door opened, and a man, still wearing the same military uniform as today, stepped out.
Her eyes widened. "Why are you here so late?"
Jiang Jingxing stepped onto the stairs, not even out of breath, and hurriedly explained, "There was an emergency meeting today, so I missed dinner. Su Yu is still in a meeting and said he'll be back tomorrow."
Su Yan asked in confusion, "Isn't the meeting over yet? How can you leave?"
"The rest of the content is not important, I'll make an excuse and leave first."
Under the bright moonlight, Jiang Jingxing stood straight, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his breath slightly ragged, clearly having rushed over in a hurry.
Su Yan felt a little uncomfortable and said in a complicated tone, "Actually, you could have called me. There was no need to come all this way so late."
Jiang Jingxing raised his eyebrows and suddenly stepped closer to her.
Su Yan subconsciously stepped back, her dark eyes staring blankly at him, her mind a complete blank, as if she had forgotten what she wanted to say.
She only snapped back to reality when she had nowhere left to retreat and her back lightly touched the cold wall.
The man, exuding a dangerous aura, asked, "Don't you want me to come?"
Su Yan's mind went blank for a few seconds, but her mouth answered faster than her thoughts, "No, I meant it's too late and not safe."
"It's alright. As long as you want to see me, I will come as soon as possible."
The alluring yet dangerous atmosphere made her feel somewhat overwhelmed. She avoided his gaze and changed the subject, "Have you eaten?"
Almost as soon as the words were spoken, a thunderous sound suddenly came from someone's stomach.
Jiang Jingxing looked slightly embarrassed and said awkwardly, "The meeting started at 4:30, and I'm a little hungry."
Su Yan couldn't help but laugh.
...
Fifteen minutes later.
In the kitchen.
Su Yan was in charge of heating up the dishes, while Jiang Jingxing sat in the back and ate.
He slurped up his rice noodles, looked up at Su Yan who was busy at the stove, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
If only time could stand still at this moment.
In less than five minutes, Su Yan stir-fried the leftover spicy and sour chicken giblets and braised beef from the evening and placed them on the table in front of him.
There's no rice left over from dinner, so please make do with this.
Jiang Jingxing was indeed very hungry, and he kept eating with his head down, finishing his plate in less than ten minutes.
Su Yan said irritably, "You can't eat so fast, it's bad for your stomach. You'll realize you were wrong when you get old."
Jiang Jingxing put down his bowl. "I'm used to it, but I'll definitely change slowly after you told me."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan blushed slightly and coughed lightly, saying, "Now that you've been promoted, shouldn't you be going to another unit? Why are you still in the same unit as my brother?"
“I took over the position of the division commander who was originally in charge of the 61st Regiment, so your brother is now one of my men.”
Su Yan laughed and said, "Are you and my brother planning to lock each other up completely?"
Jiang Jingxing smiled faintly, "More or less. Our camaraderie will probably last a lifetime."
"What do you mean?" Su Yan asked, sensing the deeper meaning in his words.
There was nothing to hide from her, so Jiang Jingxing said directly, "Your brother will probably get promoted after the New Year."
"Huh?" Su Yan was shocked. "My brother only went on two small missions last year after he came back, right? How long has it been since then and he's getting promoted again?"
She wasn't surprised that Jiang Jingxing was promoted, after all, he had accumulated a lot of military merits before.
"Is my brother skipping a grade too?"
“It’s still unclear.” Jiang Jingxing said, “The final results of the promotion haven’t come out yet, and no one knows what the higher-ups mean. You may not be aware of the importance of the five-year mission your brother carried out. After he was cleared of suspicion and returned to the team, he was originally going to be the brigade commander, but he was ultimately suppressed. The political commissar wronged him.”
