On the way home, Jiang Xiaoli asked, "Chengcheng, did things go smoothly when you got back?"
Yan Chengcheng nodded. "It went fairly smoothly."
"Was it alright?" Hu Jingxin asked. "Tell me what happened."
Yan Chengcheng didn't hide anything, "Well, it's just that my parents have rather old-fashioned ideas. They think we have money to burn and they nag us a lot."
She added, "My parents just like to nag; they're used to being frugal."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "It's okay, we understand."
Changing the older generation's money mindset is not an easy task, and the ideas of strict fathers and mothers are easy to understand.
Although Yan Chengcheng's earning power is much stronger than that of the couple, she doesn't earn so much that they feel money is just a number.
For them, no matter how big a business becomes, there are always risks involved. It's best to save money for a rainy day.
Sponsoring a neighbor's child's schooling and providing living expenses for the child and the mother is seen by them as a waste of money.
Yan Chengcheng stretched and turned to ask, "Xin Xin, how's your thesis coming along? My advisor called yesterday to ask about my progress."
Hu Jingxin sighed, "I was asked the same question. I put together a first draft, but I don't know what my supervisor will say."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but find it amusing to see the two of them looking so worried when they talked about their graduation theses.
She tapped her fingers lightly on the steering wheel twice. "Okay, don't be upset. I'll show you when we get home."
Yan Chengcheng's expression immediately brightened, "Xiao Li, I love you to death!"
Hu Jingxin chimed in, vying for attention, "Little Pear, I love you even more than Chengcheng!"
They kept escalating their arguments, determined to determine who "loves Jiang Xiaoli the most."
Jiang Xiaoli shook her head with a laugh, "Stop arguing, it's not like I'm only showing this to one person."
Yan Chengcheng chuckled, "That's true, how could the two of us compete with Zong Jiayu!"
Hu Jingxin followed behind her, laughing heartily.
After returning home, Jiang Xiaoli was immediately taken to Hu Jingxin's house to have her and Hu Jingxin read her thesis.
Chang Yue felt like she had missed out on a fortune after returning from her date with Dafu that evening.
She quickly took out her own paper and stuffed it into her arms, saying, "Xiao Li, can you take a look at it for me too?"
Jiang Xiaoli was stunned. "Chang Yue, have you forgotten that we're not in the same major?"
Chang Yue waved her hand, "I don't believe you can't understand this little bit of our major. Just take a look for me."
She nodded helplessly and agreed, "Okay, let's eat first, and I'll show you after we eat."
In the evening, Li Guizhi took Aunt Tian out to listen to a play, and for dinner, Zong Jia and Zhong Yuan brought back takeout for barbecue.
While munching on a grilled chicken wing, Jiang Xiaoli asked, "How have your conversations with the designers at Uncle Xiao's place been these past few days?"
Zong Jiayu remained silent, while Zhong Yuan muttered to himself, "Today was just for measuring the rooms, and three design assistants came. Two of them make me angry just thinking about them!"
"Getting angry?"
Zhong Yuan nodded. "After we finished measuring the rooms on-site today, when we discussed the plans this afternoon, they brought out several renderings of the commercial interiors they had done before."
Some of the designs are really ugly. Even if a thousand designers said how good their designs were, I would still think they were ugly.
As soon as I finished speaking, two people became unhappy and made sarcastic remarks, implying that I didn't understand art.
If they weren't from Uncle Xiao's company, I would definitely switch to another renovation company!
Jiang Xiaoli's brows furrowed. "Such a thing is true?"
Zong Jia nodded, "Da Yuan's description is a bit exaggerated, but that's the general idea. However, these three are all design assistants. Let's see how things go after we meet with the lead designer tomorrow."
Zhong Yuan complained, "It's obvious that these two idiots are the kind who treat people differently based on their status. I just want to see what their expressions will be when they find out that the two of them are the company's leaders!"
Hu Jingxin asked in surprise, "They don't know who you two are?"
Zhong Yuan sighed, "The two sides didn't communicate well at the beginning. We didn't know at first that today was just for measuring the rooms and the chief designer wouldn't be there."
Since Zong and I were already there, we followed the three of them to measure the rooms and take a look around, and also discussed how to arrange the work area.
Who would have thought this would happen when we were discussing preferences and plans this afternoon?
Yan Chengcheng, with a gossipy look on her face, suggested, "Xiao Li, how about we go to 'Yu Feng Decoration' tomorrow to discuss renovation plans?"
Jiang Xiaoli looked at her and laughed out loud, "You just want to join in the fun, don't you?"
Hu Jingxin hugged Yan Chengcheng and said, "To be honest, I want to too, but Chengcheng, we have to register for school tomorrow and go to our thesis advisor, have you forgotten?"
"Sigh!" Yan Chengcheng sighed. "Xiao Li, shall we send you? I really want to know the details of tomorrow's chaotic scene."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled helplessly, "Alright, you've made me a little curious too, so I'll go join in the fun."
After dinner, she helped Chang Yue carefully review her thesis.
She had just finished work when she received a call from Ren Zhiyi, "Xiao Li, I sent my paper to your email, you can't be biased towards one of them!"
Jiang Xiaoli took a deep breath, "You four, every single one of you owes me a meal!"
A voice came from both the microphone and beside me at the same time, "No problem."
She stood up and said goodbye to Hu Jingxin and the others, "Alright, you guys revise your papers, I'm going home to take a look with Zhiyi."
Yan Chengcheng held onto her, not wanting her to leave, "Professor Jiang, you can stay here and watch. We'll fix it now, and we can ask you if we encounter any problems."
Hu Jingxin blinked and looked at her expectantly.
She could only turn to Zong Jiayu and shrug, "I'm trapped."
Zong Jia and Da Fu and Zhong Yuan cleaned up the trash from dinner together. "You guys go ahead and do your work. We'll head back first."
The three of them closed the door, and Yan Chengcheng stroked her chin and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk tsk, this trio is really something."
Chang Yue hugged her and said with a smile, "Chengcheng, are you feeling the urge to fall in love?"
"No, no, no," Yan Chengcheng denied repeatedly. "It's better to observe other people's relationships. Besides, people like those three are definitely a rare find!"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Alright, focus on revising your paper. I'll go home after I finish reading Zhiyi's. If you have no questions, I'll go home."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Jingxin and the other two became more serious and began revising their papers.
