Chapter 1365 - 893: Melancholy Is Innate
Before finals, Li Qingrong asked him out. Jiang Nian was delighted, but he soon discovered there was an extra person.
"Soy Milk?"
"Why are you here too?"
Cai Xiaoqing: "....."
"The class monitor invited me."
The two of them turned their heads and looked towards Li Qingrong. The latter seemed cool and indifferent, not finding anything unusual about it.
"Time is tight, so let’s just meet up together."
Jiang Nian opened his mouth but didn’t say anything. Meeting up together works, that’s very "Qingqing."
"Alright, kind of reluctantly."
Cai Xiaoqing: "?"
Who was reluctant.
She wasn’t really keen either, walking together with Jiang Nian. He used to be annoying, and now he started a wealthy company.
Even more annoying, indecent beyond words.
So, she quickly spoke up before Jiang Nian could provoke her, "I’ve heard about your stuff."
This time, it was Jiang Nian’s turn: "???."
Bleh? What stuff, how much stuff?
He instinctively glanced at Li Qingrong, a bit unable to hold it in. His reputation was this bad, and Qingqing also has some responsibility.
Li Qingrong glanced back at him, looking puzzled.
"What’s up?"
"Nothing." Jiang Nian, feeling guilty, turned his head to look at Cai Xiaoqing, "Knowing too much is of no benefit to you."
Cai Xiaoqing was speechless, this guy really bullies the weak and fears the strong.
"Oh."
"I don’t want to know either, I’m busy preparing for the Level 6 exam."
"You passed Level 4?" Jiang Nian was a bit surprised, he had already gone to Beijing University, naturally he didn’t put his mind to exams.
Is he supposed to show an interview investor a Level 4 and 6 certificate?
"You howl~"
"I passed long ago." Cai Xiaoqing said, "My classmates are preparing for IELTS, I’m hesitating whether to follow."
"Howl oh of ao u?"
Cai Xiaoqing: "...."
Speechless.
She turned her head sideways, avoiding Jiang Nian, this lunatic, and incidentally sought the class monitor’s opinion.
"Do you want to go abroad?" Li Qingrong asked.
"No."
"Then no need." Li Qingrong said, "If you’re free, you can take it, but I suggest you study something else."
Cai Xiaoqing: "What?"
Li Qingrong turned her head, looking at Jiang Nian.
"Ask him."
Jiang Nian leaned back strategically, thinking inwardly: I haven’t said anything yet. How did Qingqing know, isn’t it Xu Shuang...
It must be.
No, do these two really have contact?
"Him?"
Cai Xiaoqing looked at the seemingly abnormal Jiang Nian, eyes filled with a doubtful attitude, hesitated for a while, and said.
"Where to learn about clothes stuff?"
This is Soy Milk.
Not asking why, even if she doesn’t understand. Still chooses to execute first, rather than hesitating for explanations.
"Not in the clothing industry, I don’t plan to do it anymore." Jiang Nian snapped his fingers and raised his eyebrows.
"Interested in understanding investment companies?"
Cai Xiaoqing: "???."
On the way, the three chatted about various things. Jiang Nian drove a car that wasn’t his and took them to eat.
They ate Hakka cuisine, the taste was alright.
Eating in Beijing is like this, the varieties are quite extensive. But delicious ones are rare; you have to find them yourself.
At the dinner table, warmth steamed up.
Lotus blood duck, yam beef, radish old duck soup, plus a few vegetable dishes, eaten light.
Below the dishes, a small stove, the soup crackling.
Jiang Nian reached out, and adjusted the valve. Handed a bowl of rice to Li Qingrong, she likes pumpkin rice.
"Spending the New Year in Beijing?"
"Mm."
"And Soy Milk?"
Cai Xiaoqing: "....Staying in Beijing, too lazy to return. My home is under renovation, not enough rooms in the old house."
"Kicked out of the house?"
"No, just used for storage." Cai Xiaoqing said, "Not convenient to return, better to stay outside."
"Where do you live?"
"With the class monitor."
"Oh~~"
Jiang Nian bowed his head to eat, thinking it’s alright, anyway, with Li Lanying, this troublesome woman, around, no chance for me either.
Hmm...
However, I guess I’m not a good person either.
Never mind, let’s forgive myself first.
"Investment.....?" Cai Xiaoqing frowned, looking at Jiang Nian, "If I start studying now, am I still in time?"
"No pressure, lie....." Jiang Nian originally meant to say lying flat is fine, but felt this phrase might cause misunderstanding.
After all, his bad reputation is widely known.
"If the position really requires you to be skilled in everything, what do employers and investment managers exist for?"
"Relax, it’ll take at least half a year. By the time I do a dragon whip maneuver..... All in all, just be here."
The more Jiang Nian spoke, the more complex Cai Xiaoqing’s expression became. These little phrases.... They were random and messy.
"Oh oh, then I’ll try."
.....
The dinner ended.
The three went their separate ways, Jiang Nian went back to Li Qingrong’s house. Her sister wasn’t home, just caught a time slot.
However, it reinforced Jiang Nian’s determination to buy a house.
Doing branding makes money too slowly, it takes forever. Push another half-year, make the transaction amount over a hundred million.
With performance skyrocketing, Purple City wouldn’t dare to continue investing. After all, next financing needs to start at fifty million.
Even eighty million.
Those would be long-term investments, getting returns would depend on luck. Once excessive expansion happens, it collapses immediately.
The best outcome is to connect with a major brand to take over.
You’re good, I’m good, everyone’s good.
"Qingqing, is this how busy you’ll be in the future?" Jiang Nian bent down, lips touched and left.
"Mm, why?"
"It’s nothing, just feels....." Jiang Nian said, "I’ve given you too little, always feel guilty."
Li Qingrong thought for a moment, then looked at him.
"Mm."
"If you’re guilty, then compensate." She pressed a finger against Jiang Nian’s lips, "Show me."
Jiang Nian heard and seemed encouraged. But looking down, he thought a mirror was still missing.
"To the bedroom?"
"Mm."
Who knows how much time passed, Li Qingrong’s breathing gradually steadied. Her collarbone slightly rose and fell, skin turning a pale rosé.
Oxygen thinned, senses heightened.
Her tongue lingered with a faint sweetness, like fruit sugar dipped in water, gently touching the tip of her tongue’s subtle sweetness.
