A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"Consideration?"

Li Xixue's gaze fell on the documents Chen Yan handed over.

She knew the Gu Group very well. The two companies had been locked in a battle in the commercial real estate and financial sectors for several years, with each side winning and losing. Old Gu was a steady and cautious person who didn't act rashly, but he always made the right moves.

As for his daughter...

To be honest, she didn't know much.

Chen Yan glanced at the other person's profile: "Twenty-four years old, just returned from studying abroad."

Li Xixue hummed in agreement.

This person is either truly capable, or Old Gu is grooming a successor.

"What has she been up to lately?"

"She's been quite active. Last month, she spearheaded a new project, which is said to be specifically for investment."

"What specific investments will you make?"

"Invest in your dreams."

"..."

Li Xixue paused for a moment.

Investing in your dreams?

What kind of investment is this?

Chen Yan thought for a moment: "But there's something quite strange."

"What is it?"

"Her project has recently been in contact with some... how should I put it, some not-so-reliable projects."

Li Xixue frowned.

What does "not very reliable" mean?

Chen Yan carefully selected her words: "It's the kind of project where the business plan is written in a very flowery style, but in reality, it has little ability to be implemented, and the background of some of these projects is also not very clear."

Li Xixue didn't speak, but tapped her finger twice on the table.

A returnee from overseas, who just returned to China and immediately started making big investments, including some shady projects?

Either she has a problem with her own judgment, or someone is pushing her from behind.

Compared to the former, Li Xixue believed the latter more.

As for who the person behind him is...

He must be a highly skilled person.

"Keep an eye on it," Li Xixue said.

"OK."

Chen Yan nodded and closed the file.

She paused and glanced at the half-knitted scarf on Li Xixue's table.

"Keep it up, scarf!"

Li Xixue ignored her.

Chen Yan smiled and went out, closing the door behind her.

The office fell silent again.

Li Xixue leaned back in her chair and picked up the scarf to examine it.

But only one small section is missing.

She picked up her knitting needles again.

My technique is much more skillful than when I first started.

……

the other side.

After finishing his conversation with Lu Yang, Li Xiaochen patted Lu Yang on the shoulder and turned to go back to the store.

He took two steps and then suddenly stopped.

"That's not right, brother-in-law."

Lu Yang looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Li Xiaochen turned around, looked Lu Yang up and down, and frowned, saying, "Brother-in-law, do you know what day it is today?"

"Qixi Festival".

"Since you know, what about my sister?"

Li Xiaochen looked at Lu Yang with an expression that seemed to say, "Why are you here all alone?"

Logically speaking, shouldn't the brother-in-law go to be with his sister on Qixi Festival?

What is he doing here all by himself?

Lu Yang said calmly, "You know your sister."

"No, aren't you going to spend Qixi Festival with her?"

"I'm working."

"Is your job more important or my sister?"

Realizing something was amiss, Li Xiaochen suddenly changed her mind and said, "Wait... wait, you work? What are you doing working at a bubble tea shop?"

"Is it possible that I'm the owner here?"

Lu Yang replied in this way.

"The boss?"

Li Xiaochen was stunned.

Then his expression changed.

It wasn't surprise, but excitement.

"Brother-in-law, is this shop yours?"

"Um."

"Business looks good."

Li Xiaochen peeked into the store and saw that the queue at the door hadn't dispersed yet; her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Looking at his expression, Lu Yang had a bad feeling.

really.

Li Xiaochen leaned closer and lowered her voice: "Brother-in-law, I want to talk to you about something."

"explain."

"Can I become a shareholder?"

Lu Yang's brow twitched involuntarily.

Li Xiaochen quickly continued, "I'm serious. Don't be fooled by the small amount of money I lost on my previous investments..."

Are you sure you only lost a little bit?

Lu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Li Xiaochen coughed and said, "That's not important anymore. What's important is that I have better judgment now, and I'm completely transformed!"

Lu Yang frowned and stared at the other person.

This kid has only been hanging out with the daughter of the CEO of the Gu Group for a short time, and he already thinks he's been reborn?

Can't you?

"And brother-in-law, think about it."

Li Xiaochen rubbed his hands together. "I'll invest in your milk tea shop. We'll work together to make it big and successful, open a chain, do franchising, and expand nationwide. Just imagine the scene (of it going bankrupt)!"

Lu Yang thought about that scene.

What were the outcomes of all the projects that Li Xiaochen had worked on?

At this moment, Gu Nian, the girl from the shop, came out carrying two cups of milk tea.

"Honey, here's your milk tea."

She handed one of the cups to Li Xiaochen, then glanced at Lu Yang.

"Is this your friend?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Li Xiaochen took the milk tea and quickly introduced, "This is Lu Yang, my... friend, and also the owner of this milk tea shop."

Upon hearing this, Gu Nian looked Lu Yang up and down.

He looked to be in his early twenties. Although his clothes and appearance were quite casual, he was very handsome.

"Hello there."

Gu Nian smiled politely.

"Hello there."

Lu Yang nodded.

Gu Nian took a sip of milk tea: "This milk tea tastes good."

"Thanks."

Li Xiaochen, standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up: "Right, baby? I told you this shop had potential! Brother-in-law... no, Brother Lu, are you really not going to consider letting me invest? Even just a little bit would be fine."

"roll."

Before leaving, Li Xiaochen turned back to look at Lu Yang one last time, her expression as if to say, "Brother-in-law, this isn't over."

Lu Yang watched him walk away and shook his head.

That kid is a troublemaker every day he lives.

But then again, if he really went and caused trouble for the Gu Group...

Good luck, Miss Gu.

Lu Yang withdrew his gaze and walked back into the shop.

Xia Ning and the others were still standing there, staring at him expectantly.

"Boss, who was that person just now?" Xia Ning asked curiously.

"A relative."

"Oh……"

Xia Ning responded with a drawn-out "Yes!", then clapped her hands. "Boss! Let's get down to business!"

"What important matter is it?"

"About Qixi Festival!"

Xia Ning then got back to the main point.

Lu Yang sighed, also impressed by the girl.

To be honest, it wasn't that he didn't want to do something, but rather, where could he go for a romantic visit? He always felt that given Li Xixue's personality, she would find anything fancy and frivolous pretentious.

At this moment, Xia Ning tilted her head and looked Lu Yang up and down.

From head to toe, and from toe to head.

Lu Yang felt a little uneasy under her gaze: "What are you looking at?"

"Boss, what are you wearing today?"

Lu Yang looked down at himself.

A very standard men's outfit for going out.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Ning frowned.

"Boss, if I may be so blunt, this outfit is fine for normal everyday wear, but for Qixi Festival... it's a bit lacking."
