Two hours after Jiang Yu sent the message, Su Yehao finally found a chance to reply to her, this "tAt Chief Technology Officer, Xiao Ba Tian."

She asked in the chat box, "Are you back?"

Su Yehao replied:

"Tomorrow morning at eight, meet me upstairs at your house. I'll call you then."

When he replied, Jiang Yu's account was already showing as offline. In this era when mobile phones couldn't log into chat accounts, staying in touch online meant that being out of touch was a common occurrence.

Their conversations were always sporadic.

Especially while Su Yehao was in Silicon Valley, he would only occasionally receive a reply from Jiang Yu every day or two.

The thought of seeing Jiang Yu again excited Su Yehao.

In fact, if he tried, he could probably squeeze out some time this afternoon or evening to meet Jiang Yu.

However, every time he "paid his dues," whether it was to Nong Qingying or the little girl, they were both like greedy landlords, never giving him a chance to rest. So, it was better to rest for a night.

After logging into his email and financial accounts again, Su Yehao thought for a moment and instructed the housekeeper to stew a black-bone chicken soup with ginseng for lunch, plus a stir-fried kidney with onions.

He probably wouldn't have time to rest for a while, so he should seize the time to eat more nutritious food.

…

He went to tAt headquarters in the morning.

He also held a conference call with Lei Busi and others at Silver Sea to determine the next development plan for the portal website.

After drinking chicken soup at home for lunch, he visited Grandpa Tang in the afternoon, accompanied him to get a haircut, and then went to inspect the hotel that was under renovation.

As for the apartment building near the Kowloon Walled City, which he had purchased at a high price, it had already been handed over to a specially established hotel management group. Through Hong Kong Hao International Travel Company, more than six hundred rooms were occupied by guests today, at an average price of two hundred and seventy Hong Kong dollars, which was relatively cheap.

After all, the travel company wasn't just Su Yehao's. Business was business. According to industry rules, a portion of the room fees would be given back as kickbacks and then distributed to Hong Kong Hao International.

Jiang Shiye didn't mention it, but Su Yehao took the initiative to propose that they follow the rules and not take advantage of him and his friends.

With thousands of tourists checking in every day, even the convenience store located downstairs in the apartment hotel could generate a daily revenue of tens of thousands of dollars.

After the visit, he contacted Jiang Shiye and learned that the travel company was planning to purchase several small yachts to take tourists to see the sights of Victoria Harbour.

The more popular the business, the higher the company's profits, which meant that more funds would be available for development and expansion. Ordinary sightseeing yachts costing millions of Hong Kong dollars could also be financed through bank loans, so Su Yehao didn't need to continue investing money.

The travel company he had casually invested in was a "small business," and Su Yehao didn't take it to heart.

Actually, he wanted to take the opportunity to ask how Jiang Yu had been doing these past few days, but it wasn't easy to discuss this in detail with Jiang Shiye. He probed indirectly, asking, "I saw online last time that Jiang Yu wanted to study for a master's degree in the United States?"

"Yes, that's right. It's good to learn more while she's young. I haven't thanked you yet for helping to take care of her."

Jiang Shiye only knew that his daughter had met Su Yehao, who was also in California, when she visited the Stanford University Business School a few days ago.

Of course, Jiang Yu wouldn't tell her parents the more specific details, as that would be asking for trouble.

Su Yehao said with a smile:

"My company happens to be near Stanford, and the house I bought is also very close to Stanford University. It would be great if Jiang Yu went there to study. Not only is the diploma highly valuable, but I can also help take care of her in the future. It's easy to run into trouble when you're new to a place. If she has any problems, she can just give me a call, and I can arrange for someone to visit her at any time. And if she wants to work there for a while, she can just come to my company."

Jiang Shiye and his wife had already considered these things in advance.

Their child's education was a major event, and how could parents not worry? Originally, Jiang Yu preferred the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, but after returning from her visit, she suddenly changed her mind and said she wanted to go to Stanford Business School.

In the eyes of Jiang Shiye and his wife, Stanford Business School seemed to be inferior to Wharton.

It was precisely because they felt that if they sent their daughter to Silicon Valley in California, they could ask Su Yehao to help look after her that the couple had no objections at all and felt that it was very suitable.

After all, the United States was chaotic, and the chaos in New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia was well known, with high crime rates.

Learning more or less didn't matter. Jiang Shiye and his wife only hoped that their daughter would be safe.

He laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Jiang Shiye's voice came through the phone:

"Jiang Yu mentioned at home that you could help her arrange a good advisor. We also hope that she can go to Stanford University. It's really my daughter's good fortune to have a friend like you. Actually, she mentioned her plans to study abroad before, and her mother and I were so worried that we couldn't sleep all night. She's leaving Hong Kong, and she's not familiar with the place. My daughter's thinking is also relatively simple, and I don't know if she can adapt. It would be great if you could take care of her."

Hearing the word "good fortune," Su Yehao smiled awkwardly.

He wasn't sure if it was good fortune, but Jiang Shiye, who was kept in the dark, probably didn't know that his little Jiang Yu had already been "eaten clean" by him.

He used to jokingly call him "father-in-law," but now he really was half a father-in-law.

Thinking about whether Jiang Shiye would chase him with a kitchen knife if he found out about the shenanigans, Su Yehao continued, "We grew up together, and she's also my adopted sister. How could I not help her if I have the ability? Shiye, you don't need to be so polite. I originally planned to personally send her back to Hong Kong, but I had some unfinished business that delayed me for a few days. Is Jiang Yu in a good mood after returning? I didn't have much time to take her around California."

This was a roundabout way of inquiring about Jiang Yu's recent situation.

Although their relationship had taken a big step forward, Jiang Yu was obviously worried in California, feeling very sorry for the little girl.

Afraid that the little fish in the pond would slip away again, Su Yehao was a little uneasy.

Unfortunately.

He asked the wrong person when he asked Jiang Shiye.

On the one hand, even if Jiang Yu had thoughts, she wouldn't tell her father.

On the other hand, Su Yehao took the time to kindly entertain Jiang Yu. How low would Jiang Shiye's EQ have to be to nitpick about this kind of thing?

So Jiang Shiye only said that Jiang Yu had a great time and didn't reveal any useful information.

Su Yehao, who had asked a lonely question, thought about logging into tAt again when he got home to see if Jiang Yu had replied. After hanging up the phone, he sat in his bulletproof Rolls-Royce and drove from near Kowloon Walled City Park toward his home.

On the way, he also raised the partition inside the car and called Yin Liuli, telling her that he was preparing to return to Casino tomorrow night and asked her to come out for dinner.

Sweet words are ultimately no match for being together day and night. In the blink of an eye, it had been two months since they had met, and they were slightly estranged.

This couldn't all be blamed on Su Yehao.

He had previously wanted to arrange a plane to take Yin Liuli to stay in Silicon Valley for a few more days, but she herself was unwilling to travel far.

All in all.

He had to spend time with each of the four girls, which was a bit overwhelming and he couldn't attend to everyone equally…
