Zong Jia laughed when she heard this, "Godmother, it must be finance. It's not that human resources and administration positions are not suitable for you. On the contrary, I think administration positions are very suitable for someone as meticulous as you."
But finance is truly crucial. Without reliable finance, at best, public funds could be embezzled; at worst, tax problems could arise.
Li Guizhi nodded repeatedly, "Xiao Zong, you're absolutely right! I was just worried that someone might take advantage of your young age and tamper with the accounts!"
Jiang Xiaoli put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "Mom, from now on, our family's purse strings will be in your hands!"
"Okay, it's settled then! I'll take Xiaoyu's mom to register tomorrow!" Li Guizhi was no longer conflicted.
After dinner, Jiang Xiaoli discussed things with Zong Jia.
"I was hesitant at first, but now I've decided to register a company. My mom will be the legal representative, and we'll use the company's name to acquire Fengqing Canned Food Factory."
This arrangement makes her joining the finance department less abrupt. Uncle Wei is still the factory manager, and you're the deputy. What do you think of this arrangement?
Zong Jia nodded approvingly. "That's exactly what I was going to suggest to you today. This way, it will be easier for you to invest if you become interested in other industries in the future."
She gave Zong Jia a knowing look and said, "Then I'll leave the company registration to you. Just tell me how much it will cost."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang."
Upon hearing his form of address, the two exchanged a smile.
As Zong Jia was leaving, Li Guizhi packed a bag of food. "These are all things that Xiaoyu and the others brought back for us from their trip to Yunnan Province. We can't finish them all, so you can take them back and share them with Dafu and the others."
"Thank you, godmother. I'm off." Zong Jiayu picked up the bag, got on her bike, and rode away.
Jiang Xiaoli turned around and went back to her room to study.
This afternoon, Chen caught her and asked about her study progress. She had spent too little time studying during the entire holiday, and her self-study progress on senior year knowledge was a bit slow.
She promised that the senior high school test could be held next Saturday, and Chen Zhe let her off the hook.
She complained to Xu Xing, "Teacher Chen has really gotten arrogant. At first, she was shocked that we were learning so fast, but now she's complaining that I'm too slow!"
Xu Xing chuckled, "The truth is, if you had used your holiday to study, we could have taken the exam tomorrow."
Jiang Xiaoli immediately shut her mouth tightly.
She'll study! She can catch up now, right?
She opened her brand-new textbook and began to absorb knowledge rapidly, reading ten lines at a glance.
The next morning, Xu Xing gave her a surprise.
He pointed to several sets of test papers on her desk, "These are the actual questions from this year's preliminary and final rounds of the math and physics competitions. Take a look."
Jiang Xiaoli was pleasantly surprised, "You have this method? That's impressive!"
She didn't care about keeping up with the schedule anymore and picked up the test paper to start working on it.
The difficulty of the preliminary round was similar to the competition questions given to them by Chen Zhe and Teacher Liu, and she finished it in just two class periods.
Her current level is more than enough to pass the preliminary rounds and enter the league, but the league's questions are quite difficult.
She did the math first, which took two class periods. After she finished writing it, she compared it with Xu Xing's handwritten answer and found that the same problem still existed—she missed some steps, which resulted in a deduction of several points.
She patted her head in frustration, "If you write any fewer steps, I'll chop off my hand!"
Xie Yitao was taken aback by her action. He glanced at Teacher Li, who had wandered to the back of the classroom to give a lecture, and asked in a low voice, "Jiang Xiaoli, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xiaoli pouted, "I could have gotten full marks on this test, but I missed writing two steps. Ugh, so annoying."
Xie Yitao glanced at the top of her exam paper and was immediately speechless.
Although he doesn't participate in the competition, he knows that even a small mistake would definitely make him a provincial first-place winner, and he could enter the winter camp to participate in the finals as a provincial team member!
He was internally screaming at Teacher Li, but before Teacher Li could catch up, he thought, "You're amazing, keep it up!"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, the pen twirling between her fingers as she slowly calmed herself down.
She was very careful when she did the physics league exam in the afternoon and got a perfect score.
She ran off to Xu Xing, beaming with pride, "Ta-da! Look, a perfect score! What do you think?"
Xu Xing glanced at her paper, suppressed his shock, and praised, "Very impressive."
Jiang Xiaoli found his three dry words uninteresting and returned to her seat.
Xu Xing, however, was very melancholy.
He asked a relative to find these test papers, and as soon as he got them, he did them once. He lost a few points in both math and physics.
Although he was capable of winning first place in the province, he felt a pang of bitterness when he thought about the perfect score he had just seen.
She's the kind of genius Grandpa and Dad talk about, right? The kind that God practically feeds you.
Since meeting Jiang Xiaoli, he hasn't dared to relax for a single day, but he still fell short.
This was a bit of a blow to him.
Xu Xing secretly made up his mind: next time... next time I must surpass her!
Jiang Xiaoli had no idea that her boasting would ignite Xu Xing's fighting spirit, making him relentlessly pursue her studies throughout his high school years.
She's craving coffee right now and is thinking of rushing home to make some as soon as school is over!
Li Guizhi was a little unhappy when she saw that her daughter wanted to drink coffee as soon as she got home. "Be careful you don't have to sleep tonight!"
Jiang Xiaoli pointed to the wall clock, "Mom, it's only 5:30 now, not past 6! You can't go back on your word!"
Li Guizhi was speechless, then took the things out and gave them to her, saying, "Drink less!"
"Yes, yes, no, don't worry!"
Soon, she got to drink her coffee and let out a satisfied sigh.
Holding her cup, she asked Li Guizhi, who was doing laundry, "Mom, did you go to register with Aunt Xu today?"
Li Guizhi continued rubbing the clothes in her hands, "They went. I applied for accounting, and Xu Feng applied for English."
Jiang Xiaoli was a little surprised, "You didn't mention yesterday that Aunt Xu was interested in English?"
"Haha, you're right, I'm a little surprised too. Do you know why she's learning English?" Li Guizhi asked her daughter with a smile.
"Hmm...want to travel abroad?" she guessed.
Li Guizhi stopped what she was doing. "How did you know? Xu Feng said she wants to travel the world with your Uncle Xiao in the future. She's worried that she won't understand people's languages and that it will be inconvenient for her."
"Haha, Aunt Xu is so trendy!" She never expected that her wild guess would actually be right!
"Of course! She even wants me to go out with her!"
Jiang Xiaoli agreed, "Yes, Mom, it's nice to go out for a walk. You must take me with you!"
Li Guizhi said with a smile, "Sure, next time you have a holiday, let's find a place to go and have fun for a few days, how about it?"
"I think it's a good idea! Winter break is coming soon." To be honest, she really wanted to see what the scenery was like across the country in this era.
Perhaps... there are still many business opportunities!
