Chapter 1363 - 892: Embrace
It’s over!
Xu Yuanshan felt his legs go weak with fear in an instant. He quickly shielded Jiang Nian behind him and pretended to play dead.
"My roommate went into labor, I have to return to school."
After saying that, Xu Yuanshan bolted away. Within a flash, he disappeared, his efficiency was astonishingly quick.
Xu Shuang: "..."
"What did he say to you?"
"Nothing much." Jiang Nian waved his hand, "I have to head back to school soon too. By the way, can you lend me some money?"
"What?" Xu Shuang felt a bit disappointed when she heard Jiang Nian was leaving right after dinner.
She didn’t expect his next words would almost make her twist her waist, "Weren’t you the one who resolutely refused to lend me money before?"
Jiang Nian didn’t respond, thinking that times had changed. Xu Shuang previously wanted to buy into his shares when they were low, which would have put him in a passive position.
Now, his shares had rebounded.
He wasn’t short of money, just utilizing some idle funds. Do some other things, turn it around and give it back to her.
"Ahem, because I want to start an investment company."
"You know, my company just managed to secure financing. Moving funds at this time would be too sensitive."
Although the innocent have nothing to fear, it would surely be more troublesome.
Upon hearing this, Xu Shuang glanced at him.
"Investment company?"
She guessed that Jiang Nian had been in contact with VCs and was possibly tempted. With extra money in hand, he also wanted to enter the market.
"Yeah, why?"
"Investment carries risks, forget it... you probably understand." Xu Shuang pondered for a moment and agreed to lend the money.
However, she imposed a condition.
"I want to start one too."
Jiang Nian: "???"
"Why?"
"Nothing much, just saving some money for baby formula." Xu Shuang said calmly, "Some things, who knows how they’ll turn out later."
Jiang Nian thought about it and felt it didn’t take much effort anyway.
"Alright then."
....
And so, Jiang Nian’s Wanhe Capital Company was established. Along with it, Xu Shuang’s was also set up.
He was speechless; she followed whatever he did.
Is she a kid?
"Why set it up in Hangzhou?" Xu Shuang was curious and messaged him, "Isn’t Beijing better?"
"If someone checks, they might pay more attention."
When Jiang Nian received the message, he was in class. With nothing else to do, he patiently explained.
"Beijing has stricter regulations; you need a real office."
"Yuhang is more lenient. You can casually link up with a friend to get it done, and it saves a lot of money."
Xu Shuang: "?"
"But I have an office in Beijing."
Jiang Nian: "???"
Dammit.
Why didn’t she say earlier?
"Oh, that’s fine too." Jiang Nian pretended to be indifferent, "It’s more convenient in Yuhang; you can set yours up in Beijing."
After sending the message, he nearly ground his molars to bits.
However, it’s not a big deal. After all, it’s just a small company, with only a one million registered capital.
Without a license, it can’t conduct financial operations.
Setting it up in Yuhang would mean a higher likelihood of obtaining a license later, plus the name could include ’capital.’
But in Beijing, the audit is stricter.
For major companies, being situated in Beijing would make all sorts of things much easier.
After all, physical distance equates to political distance.
A fortune never comes alone, misfortune never comes singly. Jiang Nian was reluctantly featured in the campus newspaper.
Luckily, it wasn’t too conspicuous.
Since he accompanied Chen Yunyun back to Zhen Nan, a month had passed, and the semester was nearing its end.
Jiang Nian had mostly been a good student, attending classes as much as possible, and getting along with classmates.
Only Xu Qianqian and Song Xiyun were a bit "tsundere," unwilling to interact with him much.
It wasn’t until the end of December, the day before the new year, that they finally arranged to have a meal together.
In the dorm, Jiang Nian was getting ready to go out. He dressed up, wearing a black coat with dress pants.
To be honest, he hadn’t even dressed this formally when meeting with suppliers.
Brother Bao Song finished a game and turned his head to look at him, instantly stunned, and couldn’t help but ask.
"Going on a blind date?"
Da Chao was also getting ready to go out and couldn’t help but tease.
"Probably, this guy is so vain. Can show off even more than me, started picking clothes half an hour ago."
"Ahem, it’s a business meeting." Jiang Nian adjusted his hair, "The other party is coming on strong, with a lot of people."
"I’m dressing a bit formally to intimidate them, right?"
Da Chao couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Is this still business?"
"Close enough."
Jiang Nian said and left, bidding farewell to his silly roommates. As soon as he stepped outside, he felt a chill on his face and looked up.
At some point, it had started snowing lightly.
"A year has passed, huh."
Last time it snowed, he was building snowmen with the two girls. It was freezing outside, but warm and lively inside.
Now...
Even going for a meal requires effort, formal meetings.
He only sighed for a moment, exhaled deeply, and quickly walked out, meeting with the two girls at the east gate.
"Why did you come out dressed like that?"
Song Xiyun glanced at him; the two girls wore down jacket hats and thick scarves around their necks.
Judging by the style, it wasn’t from him.
"Didn’t you know it was going to snow today?"
"No idea." Jiang Nian had some snow on him, his hair was white, but thankfully it was dry snow.
A quick shake, and it was all gone.
"No worries, let’s go." Jiang Nian deliberately didn’t shake it off, making it seem like he was living a bit "rough."
However, his outfit couldn’t be sloppy.
Xu Qianqian didn’t speak, just gave him a glance. The three maintained some distance, walking slowly ahead.
Suddenly, she spoke.
"Let’s take a cab."
Initially, the three planned to walk to their destination. It was just over a kilometer, perfect for a stroll and then ordering food.
"My feet are uncomfortable; I can’t walk any further."
"Oh, oh." Jiang Nian paused for a moment, pulled out his phone, and started calling a cab, "Then stand aside a bit."
