The next morning, Jiang Xiaoli took out the after-sun repair and whitening cream made by Jiang's Medical Aesthetics Research Center from home and gave it to An Ke and a few of her friends in the mathematics department at school.
Wu Cui, who came with An Ke to pick up her things, was stunned when she saw Jiang Xiaoli. "Oh my goodness, Xiaoli, you really did go to military training with us! Look at the state Ke Ke and I have become!"
Jiang Xiaoli said apologetically, "I don't have many sunscreens at home, so I couldn't give them to you. But if you use this after-sun repair and whitening product and it works for you, just ask me for it again. I reckon you'll be back to your original fair skin by the time Chinese New Year comes around."
Anke exclaimed in surprise, "Really? That's wonderful!"
Wu Cui patted Jiang Xiaoli on the shoulder, "Xiaoli, thanks!"
She smiled and waved her hand, "The extra ones are for Xu Xing and the others. Please give them to them for me when you see them later. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
On the way back to "Heyuan" to pick up Xiao Muyu, Jiang Xiaoli secretly decided that she must call her second uncle when it got light in Chongqing. The products of Jiang's Medical Aesthetics Research Center must be launched and sold as soon as possible, especially in the Chinese market, which will be an immeasurably huge market.
...
Jiang Xiaoli arranged her reunion with her old classmates from No. 20 Middle School at a long-established restaurant called "Zhiweiju" in Kyoto. The food was delicious and the price was reasonable, so it wouldn't make her classmates feel uncomfortable.
The restaurant "Zhiweiju" was easy to find, and everyone arrived before noon.
Once all the dishes were served, Jiang Xiaoli, holding a drink, smiled and said, "On behalf of Kyoto, I welcome everyone!"
Everyone laughed. After clinking glasses, Tang Wanqiao said with a smile, "Xiao Li, aren't you going to say you're from Xijing now?"
Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand, "How could that be! Xijing is my first hometown, and Kyoto is my second hometown. You've all registered at the school, and your household registrations have all been transferred to Kyoto! We're all the same!"
Li Cheng laughed and said, "That's true, thinking about it this way, we're all Kyoto people now!"
Chen Jing held up her cup and said, "Speaking of which, we have to thank Xiao Li. If it weren't for her summary of the key points and difficult questions, it's hard to say whether we would have been able to get into our current schools. At least, that's how it is for me."
When Chen Jing first started high school, she was only an average student in her class, and she never dared to imagine that she could get into Renmin University of China.
Everyone raised their glasses to toast Jiang Xiaoli, saying, "Chen Jing was absolutely right!"
Xie Yitao said with a smile, "You guys have no idea, when I received the admission notice from Tsinghua University, my two brothers couldn't believe it at all!"
"Hahaha! My relatives are the same!" Chen Jing smiled brightly. "When they heard that I got into Renmin University, none of them believed it! If my mom hadn't listened to my cousin and put my admission notice away early, I reckon the people who came to my house to see it would have crumpled that piece of paper to pieces!"
"Me too, me too..."
Old classmates had so much to talk about that they spent more than three hours eating together.
When they parted, Jiang Xiaoli said to them, "You'll be going to have military training soon. After the National Day holiday, let's get together again, including those who couldn't make it today!"
"no problem!"
After parting ways with her classmates, as Jiang Xiaoli was driving almost home, Xiao Muyu spoke up, "Xiaoli, Professor Gu is on duty today, I want to go to the hospital."
"Okay." She drove past the entrance of the residential area and dropped her off at Xiehe Hospital before turning her car around and going home.
She glanced at her watch, estimating that it was already morning in Chongqing. She called her grandparents for a chat and then called her second uncle, Jiang Ruixin.
"Little Pear, what's up calling so early in the morning?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Second Uncle, it's already afternoon here! I just wanted to ask when you plan to launch and sell those sunscreens and skincare products I got from the medical aesthetics research center last time?"
Jiang Ruixin recalled for a moment and then remembered, "Oh, you mean Dr. Pei's team's test subjects, right?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Yes, it's Dr. Pei. He said this sunscreen is really effective. I was in military training in China for more than 20 days and I didn't get tanned at all. In fact, I even got a little fairer."
Jiang Ruixin smiled, "That's good. But I still need to have a meeting with them to find out about the listing and sales. I haven't asked about it yet. But even if it is listed and sold, the product standards in Great Britain and China are different, and the approval process will take quite a while."
Jiang Xiaoli advised, "Second Uncle, your uncle is making great strides in investing in China. You can't fall behind. Believe me, once these products from the Medical Aesthetics Research Center enter China, they will bring huge profits to the Jiang family."
Jiang Ruixin said, "Okay, Xiaoli, I understand. I will look into this matter and let you know when I have any news."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoli sighed. Her eldest and second uncles grew up in Great Britain. Although they acknowledged China's development, they remained skeptical about the future of China's commerce and economy.
However, my uncle is completely different from the other two. Recently, he has invested in nearly 10 companies in China, and he has also been involved in the stock market.
The stock market... the stock market... she felt like she'd forgotten something lately.
She simply grabbed her car keys and went straight to the office building that Heaven Capital had recently rented in Financial Street.
Jiang Ruilin was very interested in her arrival. "Xiao Li, what brings you here?"
Jiang Xiaoli cut to the chase, asking with a smile, "Uncle, what are your thoughts on Hong Kong's return to China next year?"
Jiang Ruilin tapped his pen twice on the desk with his right hand. “As far as I know, many British families with businesses in Hong Kong are selling off their assets. Your uncle asked me about it some time ago, but our Jiang family’s decision is to remain inactive. I believe Hong Kong will be even better after the handover.”
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded, "Then, Uncle, can you help me buy some stocks?"
Jiang Ruilin holds a British passport, so doing business in Hong Kong is like coming home to him, not to mention that the Jiang family has branches in Hong Kong.
Jiang Ruilin chuckled, "So this is what Little Pear wanted to talk to me about? That's simple, your uncle has quite a few stock accounts, I'll give you a few."
Jiang Xiaoli shook her head. "Uncle, don't you have a stock investment company here? Do you accept external funds?"
Jiang Ruilin's smile faded slightly, and he asked with concern, "Xiao Li, is your company short of money? Just tell me how much you need."
"No, no!" she quickly waved her hand. "Uncle, you misunderstood. Hong Kong will return to China in less than a year. I'm just very optimistic about the Hong Kong stock market, but I don't know much about the specifics of stock trading. Wouldn't it be better if I provided the money and you earned the commission?"
Jiang Ruilin was relieved to hear her say that. "Hehe, what nonsense are you talking about, girl? If your grandfather knew that I was even making money off you, he would immediately send me back to Great Britain to be punished by kneeling!"
