Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

The weather was exceptionally clear the next day. The sky was a clear, cloudless blue, and the warm sunlight felt wonderful on my skin, making me feel lazy and sleepy.

Su Xue, wearing pajamas, stretched lazily by the window. "The weather is so nice. Yao Yao, where shall we go for a stroll?"

She was looking for clothes in her closet and was having a bit of a problem. She seemed to have gained some weight recently. Most of her clothes were jeans; she didn't have any sweatpants, and the ones she did had were from spring, which were a bit too thin for her to wear now. These jeans were a little tight.

"Let's go buy some clothes first." Since my pants are too small, I'll just have to make do with these for today.

"Okay, I'd like to buy some clothes first." Su Xue took a knitted dress from her suitcase, put on a pair of leggings, and then added a long down jacket with plenty of down filling. Hmm, not bad, very warm.

Tang Junyao struggled with her jeans for ages, unable to button them up or suck in her stomach to breathe. She finally gave up, turned to Su Xue, and asked, "Do you still have tights?"

Su Xue blinked, "Hmm, are you going to wear a skirt?" Full of doubt, she glanced at her lower body, "Yao Yao, you seem to be gaining weight faster than me."

"Hey, jeans are the most accurate measuring tool; if you can't button them up, you're definitely overweight."

Su Xue handed her a long sweater and leggings, and casually retorted, "No, you could say these pants shrank, but that's just a self-comforting excuse, hahaha."

Tang Junyao rolled her eyes at her, "Don't be too happy yet. If you were wearing jeans, you'd definitely be wearing Pierre Cards."

"Why are you so annoying? Can't you just let me have a moment of happiness? Can't we have a pleasant conversation?"

The two argued and bickered about who was fat, which took half an hour. By the time they were dressed, it was already an hour later.

Su Xue lowered her spending standards, considering the future expenses of raising a child. She couldn't very well ask her mother for money, so she followed Tang Junyao to the Dazhong Shopping Mall.

Tang Junyao also dared not touch the money left by her grandfather, fearing that the Tang family business would need more money to operate.

Tang Junyao took Su Xue into a sportswear store. The brand was called Feile. The fabric was very comfortable and breathable. She had done some research online a few days ago when she had a big appetite.

As soon as Su Xue walked in, she spotted a pink tracksuit. "Yao Yao, how about we buy one of these colors together? I think it looks really good!"

Tang Junyao couldn't help but dislike the color at first glance, shaking her head. It was too pink and didn't suit her. "You're pink, I'm dark."

The sales assistant came over and explained enthusiastically, "Hello, we have several other colors of this style in our store. This lady has very fair skin, and this gray and beige set would also be nice."

As she spoke, the saleswoman displayed two sets of different colors in front of them.

"Yaoyao, why don't you wear beige? Don't always look like a night raider, dressed all in black."

After much hesitation, Tang Junyao chose beige. She rarely wore bright colors; her clothes were usually either gray, black, or white.

Even the bed sheets and duvet covers were rejected by Su Xue.

After buying clothes, Su Xue asked to go shopping together for dresses, flat shoes, and underwear. These were items that Su Xue, with her expertise, would need to guide Tang Junyao to buy.

It was already past 6 p.m. when we finished buying everything.

Grandpa Ji was leisurely eating white fungus soup in the dining room when he noticed his grandson's face was as dark as Bao Gong's, and he was a little puzzled.

Ji Hancheng strode in, preparing to go upstairs, but was stopped by Old Master Ji.

"Who offended you? Your face looks like it's been smeared with charcoal. It was already dark yesterday, how come it's even darker today?"

Ji Hancheng: ".............." Grandpa did it on purpose.

The old man finished his soup, put it down, wiped his mouth, and stood up with renewed vigor. "Since you're my grandson, I'll tell you some news, free of charge. The girl's flight is at 9:30 a.m. on the 5th."

After speaking, the old man carefully observed his grandson's expression, and within a few seconds, a smile appeared on his face.

Ji Hancheng paused for a moment before speaking, "What does it have to do with me? She can go out if she wants, it's none of my business!"

Grandpa Ji was still all smiles, stroking his short beard. "Hmm, that makes a lot of sense. It seems to have nothing to do with you. Alright, I guess I was being nosy. Oh well, I still have to go see the girl off. It'll be two years since I left..." He dragged out the last syllable.

As he went upstairs, Grandpa Ji muttered to himself, sighing repeatedly.

Ji Hancheng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He sat on the sofa, not going upstairs, and was very irritable. "Sister-in-law Ji, make me a cup of coffee." He rudely ripped off his tie and threw it on the sofa.

But the person who brought the coffee wasn't Aunt Ji, but Yuan Shu. She gently placed the coffee on the coffee table and said softly, "Lancheng isn't actually that far. You can go anytime you want. Isn't that where your father's leg has been treated? If you're not busy this year, come with me. We go several times a year."

Upon realizing it was his mother who had brought the coffee, Ji Hancheng didn't know how to start the conversation, and simply said, "We'll talk about it another time."

Yuan Shu knew her son's temperament, so she didn't nag and stopped there. "Alright, don't stay up too late. I'll bring your father a bowl of white fungus soup."

"Um."

Tang Junyao and Su Xue returned to Yixinyuan. Not long after they entered, the property management knocked on the door.

Tang Junyao had walked a lot today and was a little tired. Pregnant women are indeed delicate. She got up and opened the door.

The property management staff maintained their usual professional smile, "Hello, this is your package. We've come twice today, but you weren't home."

Tang Junyao returned a polite smile and said, "Thank you."

"This is our job."

After closing the door, she opened the package and found a share transfer agreement from the platform, along with a resume of a professional manager.

"Lin Yuan? A returnee from overseas, a graduate of a prestigious university, and a former soldier. The specific type of soldier he served in wasn't mentioned. His major was economics and management..." The information was very detailed, and there was even a phone number. She didn't plan to show up herself to avoid causing trouble. Given her current special status, safety was the priority. She could only call the manager to handle it. She trusted Zhai Sha's abilities and believed that no one would be able to find out who was in charge of the acquisition agreement.

As for why she trusted this platform so much, perhaps it was because her grandfather told her so, and also because of its efficiency.

Su Xue also came over to take a look. "I've never heard of this person before. He doesn't seem to be from the capital." If he were a well-known manager, she should be able to find out about him.

Tang Junyao felt that it was good that she didn't know the person and that the person wasn't from the capital. Few people would suspect anything, and people might even think that the acquisition was done by someone from outside the capital.

"I'll make a call. You sort through the items first and see if we're still missing anything."

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."

Tang Junyao sat down on the sofa, dialed the number provided in the information, and the other end answered quickly. "Feed."

A rough, emotionless voice came from the phone, "Is this Miss Tang?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

Before Tang Junyao could ask any questions, the other party had already gotten into work mode. "Well, how would you like me to hand over the work next, Miss Tang? Would you take the lead or should I take over in full? When do you need me to start work?" This made Tang Junyao feel that this was a very direct way of doing things, without any unnecessary words.

Every point was something she had just wanted to ask.

"I don't plan to show up at the moment when it's convenient for you to start working here."

"Yes, I can start work on the 6th of the month. I will send the monthly accounts to your email on time. If Ms. Tang feels that Mr. Lin has done something wrong during this period, she can terminate his employment at any time without having to pay him any fees."

Tang Junyao: "........."

"No, I have faith in Mr. Lin's abilities."

She liked his efficient and clean work style; the handover was effortless and worry-free.

Tang Junyao signed every agreement, and the organizer even thoughtfully prepared inkpads, which surprised her a little.

When Su Xue came out, she saw her best friend signing and pressing her fingerprints. "Yao Yao, do you want to keep this agreement with me, or do you want to open a safe deposit box and put it in there?"

Tang Junyao pondered for a moment before speaking, "I'll open one tomorrow. After all, we've been away from here for so long, it's safer to keep it in a safe."

"Yeah, I also think it's safer this way."
