Mao Xiaoyu woke up early in the morning to the sound of a QQ notification.
Upon opening it, I saw a "Good morning" greeting from Yang Ying.
Because of business to discuss last night, Mao Xiaoyu had already told Yang Ying when she took her home that she wouldn't have time to contact her that night, and that Yang Ying should contact her in the morning if she wanted to.
Even though Mao Xiaoyu repeatedly told her to, Yang Ying still sent a QQ message around 10 p.m. last night, asking if she had arrived home yet. Mao Xiaoyu saw the message but didn't reply.
After all, although Mao Xiaoyu wasn't extremely drunk, she had drunk quite a bit. She was feeling dizzy and didn't want to reply to these messages. She just wanted to take a shower and go to sleep. In addition, Mao Xiaoyu didn't want to indulge Yang Ying.
So even if Mao Xiaoyu saw the message yesterday, she pretended not to.
This morning around 7:00, Yang Ying sent another message, wishing everyone a good morning.
Mao Xiaoyu saw it too, but she was fast asleep and didn't reply. She just glanced at it and went back to sleep.
This time it was almost 8:00 when Yang Ying sent another message, and Mao Xiaoyu finally replied.
First, I apologized, saying that last night I was talking about business and drank quite a bit, so I didn't see her message when I was on QQ. I only found out when I got home that you cared about me and even sent me a message, but because it was so late and I was afraid you were asleep, I didn't reply.
As for this morning, because I drank yesterday and got home late, I overslept and didn't see your message. I'm finally awake now.
Oh, I just saw that you sent two messages. I'm so sorry to have worried you.
Upon hearing Mao Xiaoyu's apology, Yang Ying, who wasn't angry to begin with, stopped talking about the matter and started chatting about trivial things.
During this time, Mao Xiaoyu could only chat while getting up to brush her teeth and wash her face. She also took two photocopies of the Orange Company's documents, then took her keys and left home. She bought some breakfast on the street, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Yang Ying's maternal grandmother's house.
Throughout this process, QQ chat continued uninterrupted, which can be considered as precise timing control!
Fortunately, after getting on the bus, Yang Ying probably knew that Mao Xiaoyu was coming and wanted to be safe on the road, so she stopped sending QQ messages, which relieved Mao Xiaoyu.
After all, chatting with a little girl about childish topics made Mao Xiaoyu feel a bit helpless, but she didn't dare to say anything too outrageous or lewd. After all, Mao Xiaoyu was just a little older in terms of mental age and couldn't do such shameless things.
That's why, when the two of them were chatting, Yang Ying might have found it quite interesting, but for Mao Xiaoyu, it was just so-so.
Now that they didn't have to chat anymore, Mao Xiaoyu was able to catch her breath and start thinking about what had happened last night.
As for my second suggestion last night, I feel it's not that great. It's mainly because I didn't want to pay, so I just made up an excuse.
After all, the money has been spent, and while there is hope of getting it back, it may be a long process. Rather than investing the money in this, it would be better to invest it in something else, which is why the so-called second suggestion came up.
Furthermore, the second opinion is not a complete one; it's somewhat fragmented. After all, if there's a shortage of people to sell shares, Mao Xiaoyu could have suggested that he keep the seven missing shares in the company until he finds a suitable candidate, at which point the shares could be sold to him.
But then Mao Xiaoyu thought about it and realized that there was no need for qualified personnel for just one person who was in charge of the cafeteria. It would be better to distribute the shares to everyone. Otherwise, if the company made money, who knows what kind of trouble the company would cause over those seven shares.
Thinking it best to avoid trouble, Mao Xiaoyu proposed to simply convert the seven shares into cash and use the dividends to pay off the bank, distributing the proceeds to each shareholder. This way, the company would only have 93% of the shares, and there would be no need for further trouble.
Actually, this is a good thing. Invest a little money to explore the market and see how this canteen-inclusive arrangement benefits you.
Of course, the above was just a small experiment. Mao Xiaoyu knew in her heart that her main priority now was to earn her first real pot of gold from the house and prepare for the next two years.
Now that the house issue is nearing its end, hopefully Guo Xiaoyan can do her best in her final role and earn her last bit of money.
The car didn't stop because of Mao Xiaoyu's wild thoughts. In just over ten minutes, they arrived at the foot of Yang Ying's grandmother's house.
When Mao Xiaoyu finished paying the fare and got out of the car, she saw Yang Ying leading an old woman downstairs, which left Mao Xiaoyu completely dumbfounded.
Without a doubt, Yang Yingqian's grandmother must be Yang Ying's maternal grandmother, but she didn't bring anything with her when she came to someone else's house to meet her elders. It's a bit unreasonable!
Why don't you wait a bit, go buy something yourself, and then come back?
-
"Brother Xiaoyu, come here, come here." Yang Ying didn't forget Mao Xiaoyu just because Mao Xiaoyu was dumbfounded. As soon as Yang Ying saw Mao Xiaoyu, he waved and called out to him.
Hearing Yang Ying's shout, Mao Xiaoyu knew that it would be too late to buy a gift, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go over.
"Brother Xiaoyu, this is my grandma." Yang Ying introduced Mao Xiaoyu happily as soon as she arrived.
"Hello, Grandma, my name is Mao Xiaoyu," Mao Xiaoyu greeted respectfully.
Mao Xiaoyu had already seen Yang Ying's maternal grandmother when she arrived. She looked like an old lady from a Shanghai alleyway, nothing special. At most, she looked a little like Yang Ying, but not that much.
Yang Ying's grandmother looked Mao Xiaoyu up and down, then nodded slightly and said kindly, "Let's go upstairs and chat. It's been a long time since we've had any guests."
After saying this, he didn't reply to Mao Xiaoyu and started leading the way upstairs by himself.
Seeing the old lady acting this way, Mao Xiaoyu didn't dare to speak. She looked directly at Yang Ying, then made various expressions on her face, head, and eyes to indicate what she meant.
Yang Ying didn't dare to speak, and could only make helpless gestures to indicate that she had no way or didn't know either.
Because they were following behind Yang Ying's grandmother, the two of them didn't dare to speak. They could only exchange glances to convey their messages, but the information they exchanged was very limited. Even when they reached the door of the grandmother's house on the third floor, the two of them hadn't stopped exchanging glances.

"Come in, don't mind that the house is small." Grandma opened the door and invited Mao Xiaoyu in.
When Mao Xiaoyu went inside, it was not bad. It was an old-style Shanghai house with a two-bedroom, one-living room layout. Since she hadn't entered the bedroom, Mao Xiaoyu didn't know how big the bedroom was, but judging from the size of the living room, the house probably wasn't much bigger, maybe around 50 square meters at most.
"Xiaoyu, what would you like to drink?" Yang Ying's grandmother asked.
"I'm easy, plain water is fine with me." Mao Xiaoyu asked for the simplest option.
"Come on, make yourselves at home! Don't be shy, make yourselves at home. And Yang Ying, pour some water!" Seeing that Mao Xiaoyu was hesitant to sit down, Yang Ying's grandmother warmly invited Mao Xiaoyu to sit down, and then turned to ask Yang Ying, who was standing to the side, to pour some water.
After Yang Ying finished pouring the water, she quietly sat down next to her grandmother. At that moment, Mao Xiaoyu felt a sudden chill in the room.
"I'll call you Xiaoyu. Where are you from?" Yang Ying's grandmother asked with a kind smile.
Upon hearing Yang Ying's grandmother's question, Mao Xiaoyu knew that Yang Ying's grandmother was about to interrogate her.
Adhering to the policy of retreating when the enemy advances and advancing when the enemy retreats, Mao Xiaoyu felt that the best course of action was to remain still and respond to the enemy's movements.
"I'm from Shanghai," Mao Xiaoyu replied succinctly.
"But your tone doesn't sound like someone from Shanghai. I feel like you have a bit of a regional accent," Yang Ying's grandmother asked casually.
"Well, because I spent a few years in my hometown, I inevitably have a local accent, but I was born in Shanghai and my ID card is from Shanghai," Mao Xiaoyu replied carefully.
"Oh, so your hometown is in another place. By the way, where in another place is your hometown?" Yang Ying's grandmother pretended to suddenly realize something, and then asked casually.
"My hometown is Yangshi City in Jiangsu Province—about three or four hundred miles from Shanghai—," Mao Xiaoyu carefully introduced.
"
They went through this question-and-answer session, cautiously probing each other. In the end, Mao Xiaoyu was questioned for over an hour, with her entire family's household registration information being investigated before she was considered a preliminary success.
This was because Mao Xiaoyu said she had something to do in the afternoon and needed to leave early; otherwise, she didn't know how long she would have been asked.
Originally, Yang Ying's grandmother wanted Mao Xiaoyu to stay for dinner, but Mao Xiaoyu refused, saying that she had already made an appointment to hand over something to someone and didn't have time to stay for dinner. Then she left Yang Ying's grandmother's house with Yang Ying.
As for why Yang Ying was still allowed to take Mao Xiaoyu away, it was Yang Ying's request. Yang Ying insisted on going out to play with Mao Xiaoyu and didn't want to stay at home. Yang Ying's grandmother had no choice but to pretend she didn't see anything.
"Oh my god, this joke has gone too far. Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were going to meet your grandma? This surprise attack is too much for my heart to handle."
After the two left Yang Ying's maternal grandmother's house, Mao Xiaoyu pretended to pat her chest and said in a worried tone.
"I didn't expect it either. How was I supposed to know about you? It was all from the neighbors. They said they'd seen you coming here a couple of days ago—"
"She picked me up and then quietly told my grandma. My grandma didn't say anything, but just as I was about to leave, she stopped me and came downstairs with me. That's when you got blocked." Yang Ying's words were a bit incoherent, but Mao Xiaoyu still understood the general meaning.
"Oh no, we've wasted a lot of time today. I was planning to take you to get your internet installed, but it looks like we'll have to stay at the hospital today and can't go anywhere else."
Mao Xiaoyu checked the time and exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's already past ten o'clock! If we hurry to get to the hospital, it will be almost lunchtime!"
"If we can't go, we can't go. Anyway, I'm with you, so it doesn't matter where we go. It's perfect. After we get the people out this afternoon, let's have some fun around the hospital. There are some interesting places here." Yang Ying said with a carefree attitude.
"In that case, let's go," Mao Xiaoyu said.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, where's your electric scooter? You didn't just ride it all day and then give up?" Yang Ying asked curiously when she saw that Mao Xiaoyu wasn't riding his electric scooter.
"I drank at Sister Liu's house yesterday, and it's not safe to ride my electric scooter home at night, so I left it with her. She can bring it to me today," Mao Xiaoyu replied.
"Oh," Yang Ying replied.
The two then walked through the alley to the main road, hailed a taxi, and took it all the way to the hospital building.
Then they entered the house, checked the tenants' information, and after confirming how many beds they needed to rent, they took the sign and went with Yang Ying to the restaurant.
At this moment, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were here again.
"Sister Liu, Brother Guan, Brother Zhang. Good morning." Mao Xiaoyu didn't care what time it was and greeted them with a "Good morning."
"Here, hand over your car keys and your documents."
When Sister Liu saw Mao Xiaoyu coming over, she stood up, went to Mao Xiaoyu, placed the key on Mao Xiaoyu's desk, and then asked Mao Xiaoyu for the documents.
"Here, this is a copy from the company." Mao Xiaoyu handed the copy she had prepared that morning to Sister Liu.
"Alright, I'll take it. I won't bother you two anymore." After saying that, Sister Liu returned to the table where the three of them were sitting.
"Did you finalize your collaboration yesterday?" Yang Ying asked quietly as Sister Liu left.
"It's not a big deal. Let's talk about a cooperation first before we start. There are still a lot of things to do after this," Mao Xiaoyu said pretentiously.
"Tch, talk big as you want. Wait until you become a billionaire before you start showing off in front of me." Yang Ying showed a disdainful expression.
"Okay, when I become a billionaire, I'll show off in front of you and let you see what a billionaire is really like," Mao Xiaoyu said, echoing Yang Ying's tone.
"I hope it happens soon. If I become a billionaire and you're still the same as you are now, then we're doomed," Yang Ying said happily.
"Let's make a bet. Whoever becomes a billionaire first will have to fulfill one of their requests, as long as it's legal." Mao Xiaoyu started digging a hole.
Upon hearing Mao Xiaoyu's words, Yang Ying's mind raced, and he opportunistically said, "Okay, but since you dare to make a request to bet, I also want to make a request to bet."
"Oh, okay then, go ahead and tell me," Mao Xiaoyu asked.
"Since whoever becomes a billionaire must agree to one condition, I will not change that. But there must be a time limit for becoming a billionaire; you must be a billionaire for 3 years, while I will be a billionaire for 10 years."
In other words, you must become a billionaire within three years, while I can become a billionaire within ten years. If either of us becomes a billionaire, then we must agree to the other's request.
"As for why, it's because I'm a girl, and it's not easy for me to earn money. But I can make you a billionaire in three years, I'm sure you can, right?" Yang Ying said with a sly smile.
Mao Xiaoyu looked at Yang Ying seriously. Although Yang Ying was smiling slyly, Mao Xiaoyu said earnestly, "OK, no problem, let's bet."
