Chapter 854: Living to the Age of 7
The two went back to their room to rest. Cheng Xiangdi hadn't resolved the matter in the study yet. From his frown, it could be seen that things were not so optimistic.
Cheng Xiangdi was in China and not at the scene, so he could not hear many things in person, which caused a lot of trouble. He had already told his subordinates how to deal with the problems. Next, Cheng Xiangdi just had to wait for news here. If the problem could not be resolved, then Cheng Xiangdi would have to fly back.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xiangdi had a bad feeling in his heart, so he immediately checked the flights back. When he saw that there were tickets available in the next few days, he finally felt a lot more at ease.
He gave his assistant three hours. After three hours, no matter whether the matter was resolved or not, Cheng Xiangdi would receive their news.
What happened at his company was actually not a big deal, but it would not be easy to deal with if Cheng Xiangdi himself was not there, so Cheng Xiangdi would have to wait for news from there before he would know what to do.
Cheng Xiangdi knew that this matter could not be rushed so he did not keep thinking about it. At worst he could go back and solve it in person. Besides, he had been back to China for so long and it was time for him to go back.
Cheng Xiangdi was quite open-minded about separation. After all, he often needed to be separated from Cheng Yunchuan when working abroad, so both of them were used to such things.
Cheng Xiangdi would not receive the message from his secretary until dinner time, so there was still a lot of time and he went straight back to his room to rest.
Jiang Mubai got up early in the morning, had breakfast and then rested on the sofa. She saw that the weather outside was good today so she planned to go for a walk in the garden with Zhou Xiaoying.
Jiang Mubai studied with Jiang An in the garden for several hours yesterday, so she couldn't help but show off what she had learned.
Zhou Xiaoying also gave her face and kept praising her for being so great. Jiang Mubai herself was indeed excellent. Before, she didn't know the names of half of the plants in the garden. After several hours of study last night, Jiang Mubai finally could say the names of all the plants, and there was not a single wrong one. The plants and the names all matched.
"Mu Bai, you are really amazing."
"No, if I didn't have such a strong memory, I would have had a hard time memorizing lines for acting."
"I think so. If you have such a good memory, wouldn't it be easy to memorize the lines?"
"Yeah, after reading the script once I can probably remember the lines I'm going to say."
"So you're born to do this. If you don't enter the film industry now, will you regret it? Regret getting married and having children so early? Aren't girls of your age all focused on their careers?"
"There's nothing to regret. It's all my own choice. If I hadn't married Yunchuan, I wouldn't have such a lovely thought today. And even though I'm at home and not working, I'm not without income, right?"
Hearing Jiang Mubai talking about this, Zhou Xiaoying thought of what Jiang Mubai and Zhao Tao had said yesterday. At that time, she was listening beside them with her arms around her. Zhou Xiaoying saw that Jiang Mubai did not avoid her, so she thought it was not a confidential matter. Later, after Zhou Xiaoying listened to the whole thing, she found that the content of Jiang Mubai and Zhao Tao's conversation did not need to be avoided from her.
"Yes, I knew it yesterday when I heard you chatting with Mr. Zhao. It turns out that you are so amazing, Mu Bai. I really admire you for having such a smart mind."
"This is nothing. I didn't know much about investment and finance before, but after learning from Teacher Zhao, I gradually understood and found it very interesting. No wonder people say that rich people will only get richer because they can break the information gap."
"Is that so? Mu Bai, can you help Aunt Zhou take a look? Although Aunt Zhou doesn't have a lot of money, it doesn't seem worthwhile to keep it in the bank. I thought it would be a good idea to ask you to help me take a look. I also hope that Mu Bai, you don't despise Aunt Zhou for having little money."
"Auntie Zhou, why do you think so? Don't you know what kind of person I am? I can promise you this, but there are some things I have to tell you in advance so that you can understand."
"Okay, Mu Bai, Auntie Zhou will be very satisfied if you can agree to this. Just tell me what you want to say."
"Stocks and futures are all risky. Although you trust me, the choices I make are not foolproof, so you have to think about this carefully. Some people may lose all their hard-earned money without even hearing a sound."
"It's okay, Mu Bai. Auntie took the initiative to tell you about this, which means that she trusts you very much and is not afraid of these things at all. Just tell her."
"Okay, since Aunt Zhou has made up her mind, I won't say much."
Jiang Mubai thought that it was not easy for Zhou Xiaoying to make money at such an old age. Although she believed in her own vision, there were always variables in everything, and there would always be certain variables before anything was confirmed.
If Zhou Xiaoying really believed that she had invested all the money she had saved over the years and suffered a loss, Jiang Mubai would not know how to face Zhou Xiaoying's trust.
"How about this, Aunt Zhou? We don't have to invest all our money. Although high investment brings high returns, there are also high risks, right? Let's invest a part of it first. If there is a return, the income will still be more than the interest you get from the bank. We won't lose money this way, right?"
"Okay, then I'll listen to what you say, Mu Bai."
"Okay, then I'll tell you how to do these things when I get back. Although I won't lie to you, you still have to understand this knowledge, right? If we understand it ourselves, we won't be deceived by then."
"That's true. Mu Bai, if you can do this for me, I will be very happy. I will treat you and Xiang Xiang twice as well in the future. I will treat Xiang Xiang as my own grandson."
"Auntie, please don't say that. Before you mentioned this to me, weren't you very good to me and Xiang Xiang? I know what kind of person you are, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to this. After all, this is a troublesome matter. But since it's you, I'm willing to do it, so don't be so grateful to me. Let's just do it the same as before. I also hope that you can keep more money on you so that you can live a good life in your later years."
"Okay, it's not a wrong place for Auntie to come to your house to take care of you. It would have been great if we could have met earlier."
"I think so in my heart, but no matter what, it's not too late for us to know each other now. There is still so much time in the future."
"Yes, yes, yes. I don't look very old. I'm only in my fifties and I still have more than ten years to live. It's easy for us to grow up."
"Aunt Zhou, you got the timing wrong. Ten years is not enough. You are in such good health that you can definitely live to be old, or twenty or thirty years. There will be no problem at all. You must see us grow up and get married in the future."
"Okay, after hearing what you said, Mu Bai, I also hope to see it. Aunt Zhou, I have to take good care of myself and try to live to see that day."
