"Big Brother, why are you here? Where's my sister?"
Little Yu asked curiously upon seeing Guo Xuyang.
"Your sister has something to attend to, so she couldn't come. She sent me to pick you up. You must be tired, right?" Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
"It's alright. The freshman year curriculum is quite fast-paced. There's a lot I haven't learned or understood thoroughly. By the next class, I'm already falling behind, which makes it hard to digest. It's like indigestion."
"How about I find you a tutor to help you catch up?"
"No need. I'll review it again tonight to consolidate what I've learned."
"Relax a bit. I'll take you out for something delicious today."
"I've been eating delicious food every day for the past two days. I feel like I'm getting fat."
"Getting fat is good! You're too thin now. Girls need to eat more to grow taller and become more beautiful."
"My height isn't short in our class anymore, you know?"
"Then why are you still sitting in the front row?"
"How do you know I'm sitting in the front row? Were you peeking at me? I was wondering why I felt like someone was looking at me during class today. So it was you."
"Do you all have evening study sessions every Sunday?" Guo Xuyang didn't answer her question but changed the subject.
"Yes, we do. It's mainly to facilitate the learning of boarding students, so we day students have to attend as well. In reality, studying at school doesn't necessarily offer a better learning atmosphere than studying at home. However, teachers sometimes explain problems or difficult questions that students don't understand. If we don't come, it's a bit of a disadvantage, so everyone attends."
"Is studying at home good?"
"Of course! You can play some light music. It's more effective than studying in a quiet classroom."
"You could apply to not go."
"Didn't I tell you? Sometimes teachers give us extra tutoring, explaining difficult problems, which you can't get at home."
"When you come back, will you go stay with Zhan Yifang and her sisters? They should be more knowledgeable than your teacher."
"Specialty dictates expertise. Those sisters might not be as thorough as the teacher. If those sisters could give me some extra tutoring, I'd be quite happy with that."
"Then it's settled. When you have weekends off, go find them and have them give you extra tutoring."
"Thank you, Big Brother. You're so good to me."
"Let's go, we're going to eat seafood."
Guo Xuyang took Little Yu to the car, and they headed straight for Xing Shi Sea Cucumber House.
...
"Alicia, do you know how much loss you've brought us this time?" a white man demanded, standing before Alicia.
"Carl, you're mistaken. It's not that I brought you a great loss, but rather that you still don't know what they are doing."
"What do you mean?"
"Exactly what I said. You have no idea what they want. You're looking in the wrong direction and have offended people you shouldn't have."
"I still don't understand your meaning."
"How could Guo Xuyang bring back so many spaceships and robots by himself? Have you ever considered that? And they are all products far beyond modern civilization."
"Are you implying...?"
"My implication is not important. You chose the wrong target. Judging by their drastic actions this time, even abandoning the three teams in the sky, their conflict has reached its peak. Shouldn't you seize this opportunity to eliminate your rivals?"
"You really didn't leak this information?"
"I wouldn't do something that harms me as much as the enemy."
"Then who did it?"
"I don't know either. Perhaps someone wants to use this opportunity to sow discord between us."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure about that."
The man pondered for a moment and said, "You should suspend your work for now and wait for the final investigation results."
"I hope you'll remain contactable and stay at home obediently."
"Alright, I'll wait for the final investigation results." Alicia shrugged.
...
"Yangzi, you're here! Please sit down," Guo Xuhui and Xiao Li said, standing up as Guo Xuyang and his group entered.
"Brother Hui, you're too kind. I just went to pick up Little Yu. She just got out of school. Mom specifically asked me to pick her up when I left."
"Little Yu, right? Please have a seat. Yesterday, I was so engrossed in our conversation that I didn't even ask your name." Guo Xuhui smiled.
"I've already ordered a few dishes. Do you want to add anything else?"
"Just order whatever you think is good. We can eat anything," Guo Xuyang replied with a smile.
"Shall we begin then? Is there no one else?" Guo Xuhui asked Xiao Yun.
"No one else. Everyone heard that Brother Hui was treating and wanted to come, but unfortunately, the chef has already prepared the food. We can't waste it, can we? So, we've saved you some money today," Xiao Yun chuckled.
"It's fine, I can afford three meals or two. But I can't compare to you guys."
"Now you're envious? You were reluctant to invest back then."
"Wasn't it because I didn't have money back then? If Yangzi hadn't given me a few stones, I wouldn't have these shares now. If I had known it would be so profitable, I would have invested even if it meant selling my house and everything."
"Hindsight is 20/20. This is already good. Many people in our families aren't even shareholders yet."
"I'm not a shareholder either," Yu'er said from the side.
"Who says you're not? Don't worry." Xiao Yun gave her a sideways glance.
"If you wanted to be a major shareholder, what would be left for us? Just be a good supportive wife."
"Alright then. Anyway, Yangzi gives me money to spend."
"That's the honest truth. We can't do without you. Brother Hui, what will you two invest this time?"
"We haven't thought about that yet. Do you have any good projects? We'll join in." Guo Xuhui said.
"No. You'll have to ask Yangzi. I'm just following along to benefit."
"By the way, the dividends from those diamond mines in Africa should be coming in by now, shouldn't they? Why is there no news?" Guo Xuyang suddenly asked upon hearing this.
"I haven't asked about that. I'll ask Elena to inquire about it and see what's happening. She's more familiar with the business there," Xiao Yun suggested.
"Okay, I'll ask about it when I get back."
"Let's eat and chat. Waiter, serve the dishes," Guo Xuhui said.
Lobster, king crab, sea cucumbers with chopsticks-long tentacles, and over ten of Guo Xuyang's favorite oysters appeared, stunning Little Yu. She had never eaten these before, let alone seen so many.
"Eat whatever you like, don't be polite," Guo Xuyang said to Little Yu.
"Big Brother, then I won't be polite."
Little Yu picked up a lobster claw and started gnawing on it. "It's delicious! I think I'm full with just this claw."
"Later, you can have some abalone and papaya soup. It's good for beauty and complexion."
"Mmm. You guys eat your food, don't mind me. I'm not being polite."
"It's alright, everyone eat," Guo Xuyang urged, completely unfazed by Xiao Yun's hungry expression.
