"Morning, Mr. Gu."

"Good morning, bring yesterday's sales figures to my office. Has the factory started restocking swimsuits yet?"

Gu Jia quickly got down to work. Her voice was crisp and clear, and her eyes were focused and determined.

She enjoys being busy because only when she is in the company can she temporarily put aside all thoughts that are not related to work.

I was busy until eleven o'clock.

For Gu Jia, three hours seemed like just a blink of an eye.

However, Jiang Han in the hotel felt that these three hours were extremely long.

He glanced at the time and hesitated whether to send a message to Gu Jia, but thinking that she might still be considering it, he finally gave up.

At this moment, Gu Jia suddenly remembered what Jiang Han said to her last night.

She glanced at the time, hurriedly picked up her phone, and opened the chat interface with Jiang Han.

Her finger hovered over the screen, her eyes fixed on the "comma" and "period" on the symbol interface.

She knew that if she missed someone like Jiang Han once, there would never be a second chance.

But her heart seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, unable to make up her mind.

Finally, she struggled to type a "period" in the input box and quickly sent it out.

After turning off her phone, Gu Jia felt a sense of loss.

However, I also felt a lot more relaxed.

Jiang Han looked at the "period" sent by Gu Jia. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt a sense of loss when he actually saw the message.

For the first time, he began to doubt himself. Did he do something wrong yesterday? He sighed, got up from the sofa, left the hotel, and got on the bus to the high-speed rail station.

On the way, Jiang Han called.

"Hey, Brother Yu~"

"What's up?"

"Nothing, just asking how you are."

"Oh, I'm on my way to the station now. I'll be back to the Magic City soon."

"Have you met Sister Jia?"

"Ah."

"She rejected you again?"

Yubei Wang smiled bitterly and said "hmm".

Jiang Han paused and said, "So you're leaving just like that?"

Yubei Wang replied calmly, "What else?"

"I'm not the type of person who would keep pestering others after being rejected. Besides, I can see that the person Gu Jia likes is not me, but you."

"I?"

Jiang Han was stunned.

A little speechless.

After spending so much time with Gu Jia, Jiang Han understands this little woman.

Indeed, sometimes Jiang Han felt that Gu Jia was weird and somewhat unnatural when facing him.

However, she hid this slight unnaturalness very well.

The two have always maintained a tacit understanding.

"Okay, let's stop talking, I have a call."

Yubei Wang said something, chatted with Jiang Han for a few words, and then hung up the phone.

Jiang Han glanced at Li Xiaoyue who was still lying on the bed.

I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so I got up and drove to the factory.

I walked into the office holding the gentian I bought from the store.

Gu Jia thought it was her assistant Zhang Xiaonuan calling her to eat again, so she replied without even looking up, "I told you, I'm not eating lunch."

However, the next second, the office door was gently pushed open.

Jiang Han stood at the door, his eyes fixed on Gu Jia.

She was staring at her phone with her head down, looking a little dazed, and seemed to have completely ignored his arrival.

He walked into the office, closed the door, and said in a low and gentle voice: "I treat you to a meal, but you won't eat it?"

Gu Jia suddenly looked up, and the moment she saw Jiang Han, her brain seemed to be stuck for a full three seconds.

"You...when did you come here?" Her voice was trembling and full of disbelief.

Jiang Han took two steps closer and gently placed the lisianthus in his hand on her desk. "While you're drinking coffee."

"Can I chase you?"

Hearing Jiang Han's words, Gu Jia's shoulders trembled slightly, and tears silently soaked her palms.

Her heart seemed to be hit by a huge wave of emotions, both the pain of the past and the warmth of the present. She wanted to escape, but she could not ignore Jiang Han's sincerity.

In the office, the air seemed to freeze, leaving only Gu Jia's suppressed sobs and Jiang Han's steady breathing.

Time seems particularly long at this moment, but also particularly precious.

She didn't dare look directly at Jiang Han, but only smiled self-deprecatingly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Do you know... an older single woman like me, who is often called "Auntie" even when walking on the street, is the hardest to pursue?"

Jiang Han smiled and said, "I like you like this. It's more interesting this way, isn't it?"

Gu Jia interrupted him, exhaled lightly, and regained her composure: "Let's go, let's eat."

"Okay." Jiang Han nodded and followed her. They walked towards the elevator together.

The elevator door slowly closed, and the people outside tactfully did not follow in.

The atmosphere in the elevator was a little subtle. Gu Jia lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously stroking the strap of her bag, while Jiang Han stood quietly beside her, his eyes always fixed on her profile.

When they reached the first floor and just walked out of the office building's door, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side: "Gu Jia~"

Gu Jia turned her head suddenly, and when she saw that it was her father, she became a little panicked.

Father Gu walked forward with a smile on his face, carrying an insulated lunch box. He looked Jiang Han over and asked with a smile, "Gu Jia, who is this?"

"He...he..." Gu Jia was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to introduce him.

Jiang Han calmly extended his hand and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Jiang Han."

Gu's father shook his hand warmly and said with a smile, "Hello, hello!" He looked at Gu Jia, then at Jiang Han, with a meaningful smile in his eyes: "Are you going to eat?"

"Yes." Jiang Han nodded frankly.

Father Gu calmly hid the insulated lunch box behind his back, smiled and waved his hand: "You guys go ahead, you guys go ahead, I just came to take a look."

Jiang Han nodded politely, turned around and opened the passenger door for Gu Jia.

Gu Jia got into the car awkwardly, a faint blush on her face. Jiang Han walked around to the driver's seat, started the car, and quickly drove away from the office building.

After the car drove a distance, Gu Jia breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window with some helplessness. Jiang Han glanced at her sideways, his lips curled up slightly, and his tone was relaxed: "Does this count as meeting your parents in advance? I can see that your dad is very happy."

Gu Jia twitched the corners of her mouth, her tone a bit self-deprecating: "He probably thinks someone finally wants me, so he's very happy."

The days that followed were uneventful but pleasant.

Jiang Han could sleep until he woke up naturally every day, and his diet and activities were entirely up to his own taste, enjoying the kind of life that most people yearned for. Unconsciously, time quietly slipped into late August.

Since Wang Yuxin had to report to school early, Jiang Han arranged for Ling Xiao and Wang Lin to return to Suzhou together after they returned from their trip to Sheshan.

The factory has been very busy recently, so Jiang Han rarely goes home.

Who knew that as soon as he opened the door, he heard Jiang Ma say in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, you still remember to come back. I thought you really went to live with someone else as a son-in-law and didn't want to leave!"

Jiang Han, carrying his bag, pretended to be aggrieved and asked pitifully, "Then I'll leave?"

"Get in here right now!" Jiang Ma shouted angrily.

Jiang Han instantly put on a bright smile and playfully said, "Mom, if you think it's too boring to be alone at home with Dad, you can definitely respond to the national call and have another child. I absolutely support it."

"Puff..." Old Jiang spat out a mouthful of water. He couldn't help coughing a few times, rolled his eyes, and said, "It's too late for you to say that. If you had said it a few years ago, your mother and I might have been able to help. Now we have the will but not the strength."

Jiang's mother slapped Old Jiang hard on the back and scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Jiang Han chuckled, put the bag back in his room, and sat back on the sofa.

Just as he was about to chat with Jiang Ma, the phone in his pocket rang. Jiang Han saw that it was Linda calling and quickly answered it.

"Hello, Tongwen."

"Jiang Han, I just sent you an email. Please take a look at it when you have time. These Pacific Cinemas branches have successfully achieved profitability during the summer vacation. I was wondering if we could make additional investments and develop Tustin into a franchise brand?"

"Okay, I'll take a look later."

"We've roughly estimated that about 4.5 million will be enough to move on to the next step."

"It's just a small amount of money, so you can make your own decision. There's no need to call me."

"it is good."

The elderly couple listened in amazement. Four and a half million? Small change? Old Jiang opened his mouth, about to ask, when Jiang Han's phone rang again. This time it was Cheng Zhipeng.

"Hello~"

"Haha, there are two good news, one about the company and one about you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"I saw the news. Douyin raised $30 million in Series B funding, led by Matrix Partners. After our shares were diluted, our market capitalization should be close to 100 million. Just tell me about the good news that's related to me."

"Another good news is that the Shanghai Venture Capital Association named you the best investor of the year."

"I haven't heard of it. Is there anything else?"

"Yes," Cheng Zhipeng said with a smile, "Didn't you mention before that if there were any good film projects, we might consider investing? We started filming a movie this year, but we ran out of funds halfway through, and now we're in urgent need of some money."

Jiang Han casually asked, "What movie? Who is the director?"

"The movie seems to be called 'Wolf Warrior'. It's said to be the second installment in the series. The first one received a mediocre response, so the risks were quite high. The director's name seems to be... called... I forgot."

"cast."

"what?"

"We invested in this movie (agea)."

"you sure?"

"determine."

Cheng Zhipeng agreed without any hesitation.

After such a long period of cooperation, Cheng Zhipeng is now very willing to trust Jiang Han unconditionally.

Jiang Han put his phone back in his pocket and turned to look at Jiang Ma and Old Jiang. He found that they were staring at him with wide eyes. He deliberately asked, "Why are you two staring at me like that?"

"Son, how big is your business now?"

"Well, I'll try to make our family financially free before we're 25." Jiang Han smiled slightly, stood up and walked towards the bathroom to take a shower.

The old couple looked at each other and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Jiang Han answered these two calls in front of Jiang Ma and Old Jiang, simply because he wanted to let them know that he was now rich and successful.

As for Lao Jiang, although he is a civil servant, he has little say in the unit and is considered a veteran.

Jiang's mother was also a small employee in the unit. The two of them had never dealt with older people with higher social status, so they naturally seemed a little restrained.

Jiang Han chose this time to tell them about his current achievements, in fact, he wanted them to have some peace of mind and not feel that he was trying to climb above his station.
