The apartment building developed in Hong Kong City through a partnership has been successfully sold.

As the major shareholder, it was impossible for the Su family to simply drop everything.

So Jiang Yu's father has been in Hong Kong City recently, helping to hand over all the relevant documents and information to Huang Zewen's family.

Huang Zewen's father had already gathered eight hundred million Hong Kong dollars and deposited it into Sihai International's account. The remaining amount would be paid in full within two weeks.

After all, it involved more than a billion Hong Kong dollars.

The Huang family wasn't one of the top wealthy families in Hong Kong City; they couldn't just pull that kind of money out of thin air.

Even taking out a bank loan would require time to process, so a few days' delay wouldn't be a big deal.

On April 2nd, Counselor Jiang, with his catfish whiskers, invited Su Yehao to dinner.

His wife and Jiang Yu were also present.

The restaurant was located next to the Sihai International Hotel, a Chinese restaurant specializing in Chaoshan cuisine.

At that moment, Counselor Jiang sent his wife and daughter away, telling Jiang Yu and her mother to buy juice.

Taking the opportunity, he asked with a smile, "I've been quite busy lately. Young Master, you had my children bring me a message, saying you wanted to see me. Is there something you need?"

Su Yehao had met Jiang Yu's mother and now understood where the girl's innocent face came from.

He could only say that it was fortunate she hadn't inherited her looks from her father, Counselor Jiang; otherwise, a beautiful girl would have become just another ordinary person.

After taking a sip of lemonade, Su Yehao put down the glass and got straight to the point, asking, "You know my dad, Uncle Jiang. He's got a terrible temper and is very stubborn. He doesn't like me at all, and it's often impossible to reason with him."

Counselor Jiang didn't take the bait, simply nodding and saying, "Actually, your dad is very good to you. When you wanted to buy a shop to start a business, he agreed without hesitation."

"I understand that. That's not what I'm talking about."

Su Yehao added, "Selling the shares of the real estate company in Hong Kong City and cashing out such a large sum of money... Where does my dad plan to invest next? I tried asking, but he ignored me. Recently, many industries have been facing headwinds, and Hong Kong stocks are still rising, almost reaching the sky. I'm a little worried."

Counselor Jiang might seem unreliable, but he was actually quite dependable.

He was smart and tactful, so he immediately understood Su Yehao's meaning and said with a smile, "Don't worry about that. Your dad is a shrewd man. He saw long ago that Hong Kong stocks aren't a good investment. Recently, after people found out that our company had cashed out a large sum of money, brokers, wealth management companies, and banks have been calling one after another, acting like they're crazy, unable to resist the scent of money."

"It's good if he doesn't plan to invest in stocks." Su Yehao was slightly relieved.

When it came to personal ability, he was definitely not as good as his father, who had weathered many storms. But when it came to grasping the overall direction, Su Yehao believed he had some experience.

He hadn't eaten pork, but he had at least seen pigs run.

Just as his parents were worried about him having money, Su Yehao was also worried that he had just pulled the family business out of one pit, only to have it fall into another.

He couldn't directly interfere with his father's business in the short term, but he could think of ways to indirectly influence it and guide its direction.

That was why he wanted to spend time with Counselor Jiang.

Counselor Jiang then told him, "Your dad has been paying attention to bonds and wealth management products recently. Based on my understanding of him, he'll probably take a break for a while and choose a more stable business model. You have to wait for opportunities; you can't be impatient."

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, Uncle Jiang."

Su Yehao asked with a smile, tentatively, "In recent years, the computer and internet industries have become increasingly popular. Some people say a new wave is coming. I don't know if you've looked into it?"

Across the table, Counselor Jiang vaguely felt something was off.

He had been working with Su's father for a long time and had practically watched Su Yehao grow from wearing open-crotch pants to the young man he was today.

If someone else were discussing this topic, Counselor Jiang would think it was normal.

But Su Yehao was being so serious, which made him feel a little disoriented, as if he had completely changed.

After pondering for a moment, Counselor Jiang began to take it seriously, organizing his thoughts and replying, "Computers? I have one in my office. More and more people are using them now. Young Master, are you planning to develop in this area? Do you want me to help persuade your dad to give you money to start a business?"

"No, it's just that I think the money we cashed out is idle anyway, and it's worth paying attention to those high-tech companies in the United States. It would be best to buy some stocks; the prospects should be good."

Su Yehao said with a smile, "I don't have any status with my dad. He'll definitely be more willing to listen to your opinion, Uncle Jiang."

"...You've said it and it didn't work?"

"I haven't said it yet, and I'm not confident at all. If you're willing to help me, Uncle Jiang, it'll be different."

Su Yehao shook his head, laughing:

"I'm just a high school student; my dad doesn't bother with me. But I think it's a very promising sunrise industry, very attractive to young people, and office workers use it often. The market is huge. Games, news, office work, social networking, etc., have already started moving to the internet. I bought ten million Hong Kong dollars worth of Yahoo shares a few days ago, but my mom wouldn't allow me to go all-in."

Having roughly understood what Su Yehao meant, Counselor Jiang nodded, still pondering.

In the past, he had thought that Su Yehao wasn't a bad person, but he also wasn't associated with words like "mature," "steady," or "promising."

Simply put, he was an underachiever and a troublemaker.

It would be a blessing if he didn't squander the family fortune.

That was all.

Suddenly discovering that Su Yehao was "hiding" another side, Counselor Jiang couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

After taking a sip of tea, Counselor Jiang didn't agree or refuse, but vaguely said with the smoothness of an old hand, "Young Master is starting to become sensible; your dad's smile will reach his ears. I'll look into this matter first. If I think the market is good, I'll talk to your dad about it. I heard you're busy opening a restaurant. How are the preparations going? I can help if you need it."

Hearing Counselor Jiang subtly change the subject, Su Yehao didn't pursue it further.

It would be great if it worked out, but if it didn't, putting the money into wealth management products wouldn't be bad either. Although the returns would be lower, it would be stable.

Once the storm had passed, there would be plenty of opportunities to make money.

The family's money was ultimately just the family's money. While answering questions about the restaurant's preparations, Su Yehao thought to himself that he really should develop his own business to avoid being constrained.

A moment later, Jiang Yu and her mother returned.

Her mother had bought milk tea. In middle age, she still had a charming demeanor and asked with a smile, "What were you two talking about just now?"

"Nothing. When Young Master's restaurant opens, let's all go and support him."

Counselor Jiang replied calmly. He was quite patriarchal and felt there was no need to mention serious matters between men in front of his wife and daughter.

Jiang Yu had long known that Su Yehao had bought a shop and said at that moment, "We'll eat for free and eat you broke. We'll have another test in a few days, the Four-School Joint Exam is coming up. You're busy opening a shop, do you still have the energy to study?"

Energy, he definitely didn't have.

Su Yehao said:

"So-so, I'll try to get a passing grade, with no upper limit."

"Bragging, when have you ever passed?"

Jiang Yu didn't hesitate to expose him.

Her mother immediately reached out and gently patted Jiang Yu's thigh, signaling her to be mindful of her words.

It was fine for young people to tease each other.

Counselor Jiang and his wife both worked under Su's father and couldn't completely treat Su Yehao as a junior.

Su Yehao saw Mrs. Jiang's little gesture and smiled slightly.

He said, "Didn't Teacher Linda Yun post my English composition on the school bulletin board? I've been working quite hard recently. The choir for the celebration is also planning to have me be the lead singer. Should I add you to the list?"

Jiang Yu became interested and asked, "Does it seem like you can get a bonus for participating in this choir activity?"

"Yes, five thousand dollars per person. The school is indeed rich and generous. I originally refused; rehearsals are too troublesome."

Su Yehao replied, "But Teacher Linda Yun told me that participating in this kind of activity is beneficial for university admissions. My personal score is too low, and my honors and achievements are all blank. I haven't even received a scholarship..."

Among the four people present, only Jiang Yu regarded the choir as a purely performance-based activity.

The Zhao family behind Donghuang Rose Middle School was willing to invest heavily in supporting it, which actually had a reason: they were trying to pave the way in advance and build good relationships.

Counselor Jiang quietly reminded him:

"You should participate in these activities, Young Master. It'll be good for you in the future. Your parents will definitely support you."

Su Yehao replied:

"Yes, in a while, I also want to persuade my dad to do some business up north. The market is much bigger than the casino, and the competition is relatively small. With our company's strength, entering early has many advantages. There are profitable projects everywhere; it just depends on how you choose. Uncle Jiang, remember to help me keep an eye on things recently."

After listening, Counselor Jiang could finally confirm that this kid was a smart man.

He suddenly felt a little gratified.

He thought that the Su family's business had a successor.

He began to feel fortunate for Su's father. They had been working together for so many years, and the two families were already close.

Counselor Jiang glanced at his own daughter.

He sighed inwardly.

That useless silly girl only knows how to eat...
