Chapter 529 - 235: Orders from the Organization (3)
Dou Ying: "But there’s more to the future than just work; there’s life too."
"Our work is our life, isn’t it? We don’t have real jobs; we’re just constantly hustling... Besides, I can’t break up with him now. If I do, who knows who might show up by his side? That guy’s got a knack for attracting women, and if someone with bad intentions takes advantage of him, the consequences could be severe. Mom, this is a task assigned to me by the organization!"
"What?"
"Yes, if you don’t believe me, I’ll call Jiang Baichuan, and you can ask him yourself. As for the mistakes Li Yang made before, let’s not worry about them for now. If he repeats them in the future, I’m not going to let it slide. Even if you don’t say anything, I’ll break up with him."
Dou Ying suddenly felt the situation had changed.
It escalated from personal feelings to something else entirely? She initially felt completely confident in persuading Jiang Banxia to give up this relationship.
But once it reached a new height, her reasons no longer held up.
It was like two families having a vicious fight, with no hope of reconciliation.
But as soon as there’s a common enemy like the invaders, they become reliable comrades, brothers who share everything, and can trust each other entirely.
In terms of neighborhood relations, they’re enemies.
But in the face of national affairs, those minor disputes can’t even come to the surface.
Dou Ying went to the first floor to buy some things, experiencing it differently than before.
She even proactively asked the salesperson about their salary.
When she learned it starts at six thousand, with room and board included, she was surprised for a moment.
In a small town, that’s considered a very high salary.
Even in top-tier cities, shopping mall employees can’t get such perks.
"Xiaxia, do you have enough money to sustain losses? How many years can you keep running?"
"What? It can go on for quite a while."
"How much back and forth has Li Yang spent? How much do you have left?"
"He hasn’t spent my money; he’s used his own. A few months ago, he invested three billion in Wanliu Capital, and recently after liquidation, he got sixty-four billion. That’s more than enough to spend."
Dou Ying frowned.
Li Yang didn’t even spend his girlfriend’s money?
And how do young people make billions like it’s nothing?
In this world, someone with billions in cash can walk anywhere globally without a worry. Why does Li Yang feel like he’s non-existent?
The impression she has of Li Yang is just a college student, gaming, streaming... none of these tags align with casually having billions.
"Do you know where his money comes from?"
"From stock trading, and he’s the one who set my stock trading strategy. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to achieve what I have now."
"Okay."
Dou Ying had nothing more to say.
Once they got home, Dou Ying couldn’t help but ask, "Xiaxia, did you really meet Jiang Baichuan?"
The next second, Jiang Banxia pulled out a business card: "Here, this is his card. He said I could call him anytime. Want to try?"
"Forget it, just keep the card. Make sure you send him a message so he knows your number."
"No need, he definitely has it."
"How do you know?"
"Li Yang told me."
Dou Ying sighed, "Then one last condition: you can continue dating Li Yang, but be sure to stay safe. No getting pregnant, do you hear me?"
Always have an exit plan. Someone like Li Yang isn’t reliable in a relationship.
"Oh, got it."
...
"Master Li, with my sharp tongue, I successfully convinced my mom not to trouble Ning’s boyfriend. Am I impressive or what?"
"Impressive, impressive. But is it really your talking skills? I haven’t experienced them yet."
"Uh... let me think... maybe I’ll try next time?"
"Haha, just joking."
"Hhh, wait, I’ll be going to the Capital City in a couple of days."
Since she sorted things out with Dou Ying, Jiang Banxia wouldn’t stay at home much longer. There’s still a month before the New Year.
Even though going to the Capital City isn’t busy, enjoying the time as a couple is always delightful.
Li Yang said, "Don’t come to the Capital City. After I finish my exams, I’ll bring you back to my hometown to accompany me to the Extreme Shadow Cars’ new car launch on January 28th."
Jiang Banxia: "Ah? It’s going into production so soon?"
"It’s been almost two years, of course. But it’s still early stages, with very limited production. Before the New Year, deliveries will only be in Jiangbei. Other areas will have to wait until the end of March before all the service centers nationwide are open. I expect by 2017 it’ll only meet demand in provincial cities, and second and third-tier cities will have to wait one or two more years."
"Do I need to adjust my stocks?"
"No need, no need. We’ll not take the first sip of this soup. Just wait another seven or eight days for me to finish my exams."
"Alright, alright, alright."
Jiang Banxia decided not to go to the Capital City and to stay home for a few more days.
Although she’s quite wealthy, her tastes haven’t changed.
She still thinks Li Yang’s cooking and her family’s meals are the best in the world.
And, of course, the clothes Dou Ying bought her are the most beautiful.
After hanging up the phone, she suddenly remembered she’d done a great job this time.
That jerk Li Yang completely glossed over it.
She immediately sent a message.
"Did I make a contribution this time?"
"What?"
"I want to bite you! I worked really hard to convince my mom."
"Haha, I know Comrade Jiang worked hard. I’ll bring you a gift when I come back."
"Great, but you also deserve credit. You suggested I take my mom to the supermarket, which gave me the inspiration. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come up with so many excuses."
In that moment, Jiang Banxia felt like a genius.
On second thoughts, if it were Li Yang, he’d probably handle it effortlessly, right?
