Chapter 2 The Second Day of June

As the Four-School Joint Entrance Exam approached, more and more students in the class were taking time off.

Some hired famous tutors for intensive one-on-one coaching at home.

Others felt they were well-prepared and used the excuse of visiting universities in advance to take the opportunity to relax.

The vast majority of students at East Phoenix Rose High School came from well-to-do families, and most of them chose to study abroad, with the UK, the US, and Australia being popular destinations.

Students who wanted to stay in the Chinese-speaking world usually chose places like Hong Kong and Singapore.

Choosing a school was a big deal, and everyone was busy as could be.

Nearing the end of the semester.

The atmosphere in the grade was completely different from the previous two months. Classes were basically over, and attendance was optional.

Monday morning.

Su Yehao arrived at the classroom and found that nearly half the seats were empty. He simply joined He Shaofan in finding an excuse to skip class, saying they had to meet with a teacher in charge of admissions from a Hong Kong school.

Similar situations were common, and Linda Yun didn't ask too many questions, only telling them to be careful.

Easily handled.

After leaving the school, He Shaofan went to find his "Sailor Moon," while Su Yehao went to have a cup of coffee with Yin Liuli.

He stayed at the coffee shop until eleven o'clock.

After telling his old man in advance and arranging a yacht, Su Yehao headed to Hong Kong again...

————————

The week before last.

The old master of the Tang family originally planned to return to Hong Kong to celebrate his birthday.

However, due to feeling unwell, he temporarily canceled his plans.

The old master stayed in a hospital in London to recuperate, and only flew back to Hong Kong the day before yesterday.

Su Yehao's mother had told him to take some time to go to Hong Kong and have a meal with his grandfather.

Find an opportunity to make up for the birthday banquet and also to please the old man.

In addition.

There was also the venture capital company and the newly registered "tAt Network Technology" company, which Su Yehao, as the boss, had never visited.

A-Qiang had just called him yesterday, saying that he lacked confidence in the recruitment interviews and hoped that he would personally show up to hold the fort.

A-Qiang had already learned about Su Yehao's identity and considered it to be quite formidable.

From the very beginning, Su Yehao had been acting as a hands-off manager, which was indeed too difficult for A-Qiang and A-Dai.

Su Yehao therefore felt that it was necessary to first find a capable management talent to take charge of the overall situation for this tAt Network Technology company.

On the other hand, the progress of recruitment at the venture capital company, which Nong Qingying was helping to manage, was relatively smooth. After all, Hong Kong never lacked financial practitioners, and each position could attract a large number of people.

As long as the benefits were good, they could pick and choose from among the top university graduates.

A-Dai and A-Qiang were counting on Su Yehao, and Nong Qingying was also constantly asking questions, which made Su Yehao, who wasn't much more capable than them, feel a little flustered.

As the old saying goes, the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge.

As for exactly how it will "straighten," the ancestors didn't say.

Investing in Yahoo stock was so easy. He only needed to spend a minute each day checking the stock price trends online, and he could even take a break on weekends.

Su Yehao had no experience in starting his own business, but he had inadvertently ended up with two companies in Hong Kong.

He had no idea how to develop them in the future, which rarely made Su Yehao feel a slight sense of pressure.

The "Four Seas International" yacht slowly approached the Central Pier.

Su Yehao looked out at the city on both sides, holding a teacup in his hand and standing at the bow of the boat, feeling quite emotional:

"Why start a business? Why play with chat rooms? It's just asking for trouble..."

When the yacht docked.

Nong Qingying, who had arranged to meet in advance, arrived on the boat first.

Su Yehao sized her up.

Nong Qingying was wearing a black suspender top, paired with denim shorts, revealing a small section of her ant-like waist, just up to her navel.

Long legs, slender waist, slender neck, her hair tied into a bun, highlighting her advantages.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave, and first sat down on a wicker chair on the deck.

Naturally putting his arm around Nong Qingying, Su Yehao asked curiously, "A forty-nine meter fishing boat is even longer than this yacht. Are you sure your parents need such a big boat?"

"They haven't been in the limelight much in their lives. The only time was probably when I got into Hong Kong University. Since there's an opportunity, of course I want them to be proud in front of the villagers. A small fishing boat just won't do."

Nong Qingying hadn't seen Su Yehao for a few days. She rested her head on his shoulder and pointed to the wicker chair opposite them, saying, "You bullied me for the first time right there."

Su Yehao laughed and said, "That's right, and then I fell for you."

A handsome young master who knew how to talk was undoubtedly very popular with girls.

Nong Qingying's face was full of smiles, and she shyly said he was annoying.

Su Yehao then said:

"A fishing boat can be bought, but I suggest you take out a loan. The potential of Yahoo stock... is very good. It won't be long before there's a chance for it to rise sharply. Don't worry about bank loans. What's happening now is that Southeast Asia is having problems, which is actually good news for the US stock market. Look at me, I clearly don't have the money to invest in the newly established company, but I still choose to firmly hold onto this stock."

Su Yehao had already said similar things when Nong Qingying called to ask about cashing out.

He was worried that this girl wouldn't take his words to heart, so he specially reminded her again.

Nong Qingying nodded at this moment and said, "Okay, then I'll take out a loan to buy the boat. I mortgaged the house for twenty million Hong Kong dollars last time, so I should be able to continue to pledge it."

Hearing this, Su Yehao swallowed.

Compared to telling the truth, playing dumb was the best option. He gave her a heads-up in advance, tentatively telling Nong Qingying:

"The sales of the prime feng shui residential complex don't seem to be going well. I saw in the newspapers that Hong Kong's housing prices will fall, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

He thought Nong Qingying would care.

But this girl didn't seem to care at all, and said calmly, "If it falls, it falls. Anyway, the house won't grow legs and run away. I went to the furniture store these past few days, and the nice sofas and tables are all expensive. I'd like you to help me choose."

"...No problem, my parents should know people who sell furniture. I'll ask my mom for you when I see her tonight."

Changing the subject, they chatted about eating, drinking, and hanging out.

Su Yehao promised to accompany her to the pier later to inspect the fishing boat that was for sale.

Seeing Nong Qingying in a cheerful mood, Su Yehao realized that he had worried for nothing.

He thought to himself that since there were many opportunities to make money anyway, he might as well continue to help Nong Qingying plan and live a comfortable life.

They held hands and got off the boat.

This girl's Porsche convertible 911 was right next to the pier.

The Ferrari she had when she was Xue's daughter-in-law had been returned to Aunt Hua before she left. Nong Qingying had temporarily rented this 911 and drove Su Yehao towards Yau Ma Tei.

The journey took more than half an hour.

Arriving at the pier, they saw the red and white fishing boat. All they knew was that it was new and big.

Su Yehao didn't know anything about fishing boats, he was really just there for moral support.

This boat was worth five million two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. Nong Qingying haggled with the salesperson for a long time, but they were only willing to give a 4% discount.

Whether or not to buy it depended on whether she could get a loan.

She didn't buy herself a car or expensive furniture, but she was willing to spend so much on this big guy to show filial piety to her parents, which was really heartwarming.

In order to buy the boat, they went to the bank and messed around for a long time.

According to the bank, she could mortgage the Yahoo stock she invested in to the bank. Getting a loan was not a problem, and she could sign the contract tomorrow.

Afterwards, Nong Qingying was particularly happy.

Even when Su Yehao suggested going to a hotel to celebrate, she readily agreed and went straight to the Four Seasons.

They enjoyed a double treat in the afternoon.

It wasn't until five o'clock in the evening that Su Yehao called his mother and asked her to arrange for a driver to pick him up.

Nong Qingying continued to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel.

They agreed to meet again in the evening to stroll around Mong Kok and eat late-night snacks.
