"My uncle’s six-pack has become a one-pack. He can’t do that kind of work anymore."
"Hahaha..."
Li Yueting was doubled over with laughter. She turned to the side to look at Lin Jiang, her expression growing much more serious.
"Bro, I need to ask you something, and you have to tell me the truth."
"I have loved."
"Hey, I’m being serious," Li Yueting whined playfully. "Have you been in contact with her again?"
"Her?"
Lin Jiang paused. It didn’t take him long to figure out who Li Yueting was talking about.
"You mean Chen Jingjia."
"Yes, her!"
Li Yueting narrowed her eyes like a little detective.
"Tell me the truth. Are you two back together?"
"We wouldn’t get back together even if your dad became a male model. You’re overthinking things," Lin Jiang said. "Why are you suddenly asking about this, anyway?"
"She just messaged me, so I thought I’d ask."
"She messaged you? Didn’t you delete her?"
"She suddenly sent me a friend request again. I didn’t accept, but she was able to talk to me through the request message. She asked if my studies were tiring, offered to buy me makeup and clothes, and even told me to apply for grad school in Zhonghai, saying she could help pull some strings for me," Li Yueting said.
"She’s being way too nice for no reason. She’s definitely up to something."
’Is this Chen Jingjia really willing to stoop to anything?’
’Will her next target be my male model uncle?’
"You could just not apply to schools in Zhonghai and stay away from me."
"But I’m your sister! And one of your only two sisters!"
"I don’t care if you’re my sister. You could be the Queen Mother of the West and it wouldn’t matter."
"Let me tell you something, Lin! I’m definitely going to Zhonghai for grad school! I’m going to eat your food, drink your drinks, and annoy you to death!"
"You’re a weirdo."
"Yep, a weirdo! Hope that pisses you off! Nyeh, nyeh, nyeh..."
Li Yueting stuck her tongue out and made a face, completely abandoning her composure.
"I’m hanging up. I have to go study. And another thing—if you two really do get back together, I swear I’ll die right in front of you, even if I have to be reincarnated as our third brother’s kid to do it."
"Don’t worry, that won’t happen."
Lin Jiang said while driving, "It’s almost the end of the month. Do you have enough money?"
"Not really, bro..."
"Alright, I got it."
After hanging up the video call, Lin Jiang sent Li Yueting a red packet for 1.66 yuan.
Lin Jiang: "Spend it wisely. It’s not easy for your big bro to earn money."
Li Yueting: [Call Declined]
Li Yueting: [Call Declined]
Li Yueting: [Voice Message: 60s]
Li Yueting: [Voice Message: 60s]
Li Yueting: [Voice Message: 58s]
Li Yueting: "Lin, you coward! Pick up the phone!"
Li Yueting: "You just wait! I’m definitely telling my aunt!"
Lin Jiang ignored Li Yueting. He was actually starting to feel a bit of admiration for Chen Jingjia’s persistence.
’But aside from grossing me out, what’s the point?’
He drove to Dao Yi Design and, knowing the way, went straight up to the second floor.
He saw Liang Shuhuo with a watering can, watering the money tree in her office.
Her outfit today was simple and professional: a dusty green woman’s suit jacket was hanging on a rack, revealing the white blouse she wore underneath. On her feet was a pair of flat shoes with square buckles, creating a look that was both professional and distinctly feminine.
Lin Jiang focused his gaze. Although he no longer had his X-ray Vision, his eyesight had improved significantly.
He could see things with a clarity that others might not notice.
White blouses, unless they were made of thick cotton, were almost always slightly translucent, just to varying degrees.
So...
’White. A push-up style. And it looks like it has a bit of lace trim.’
As she bent over slightly, her two "big white rabbits" pushed against her blouse, looking as if they were about to nibble on the money tree’s leaves.
"President Lin, you’re here."
A smile spread across Liang Shuhuo’s face when she saw Lin Jiang.
She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination or something else, but every time she saw him, Lin Jiang seemed even more handsome than the last.
"You didn’t even call me ’cutie.’ Bad review."
"We’re at the office, aren’t we? I call you that all the time otherwise," Liang Shuhuo replied coquettishly. "You have perfect timing. I just brewed some tea. Let me pour you a cup."
Lin Jiang nodded and sat down at her desk. Liang Shuhuo poured two cups, and the fragrance of the tea instantly filled the air.
"You have some refined hobbies. I see you’ve got a money tree now. I didn’t see it the last time I was here."
"That’s because you weren’t paying attention. I’ve had it for several years, but it grows so slowly. I have no idea why."
Lin Jiang glanced at the money tree, then back at Liang Shuhuo.
’Feels like all the nutrients were absorbed by her "bunnies."’
"Those things just grow slowly. It’s normal."
"It doesn’t matter. I just keep it for fun, anyway." Sipping her tea, Liang Shuhuo asked.
"The cleaning at the noodle shop should be about done, right?"
"Basically. I’m planning to open the day after tomorrow."
"You weren’t involved in the noodle shop’s renovation at all. It was all done according to my ideas. Now that it’s finished, what do you think? Is there anything you’re not happy with?"
"It’s all fantastic," Lin Jiang said, giving Liang Shuhuo a thumbs-up.
"How much did the renovation cost? I’ll transfer the money to you."
The Century Triumph property came with a renovation fund, but the noodle shop didn’t. The bill still needed to be settled.
"Didn’t you already give it to me? I used the 25 million to renovate it."
"Huh? You used that 25 million to finish the noodle shop’s renovation."
Liang Shuhuo was taken aback by his words.
"Isn’t that what you meant?"
For a moment, Lin Jiang didn’t know how to respond.
The renovation was already complete, and Tongzi hadn’t given him any warnings. This meant that using the renovation fund from Century Triumph for the noodle shop was an acceptable operation.
In other words, Liang Shuhuo had inadvertently helped him exploit a bug in the system.
