Hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, Yan Ruyu burst into laughter, "Alright, so you're good at bragging without paying taxes. Earning money in America? Why don't you say you're going to fly to the moon? Do you want to fly side-by-side with the sun?"
Alas, it seemed her business partner didn't understand her. Zhang Tianxing was speechless. It was mainly because his actions were too audacious, with no prior planning.
Damn it, this was a true reflection of his life. He never planned anything, always just getting by.
It was only when trouble found him that he would actively resolve it, never taking initiative.
It seemed that once his commercial empire was established, he would need to draw lines and set industry standards, allowing everyone to make a living based on their own merits.
Only then would others stop doubting him.
"Beautiful Yan, don't worry. We've known each other for quite some time, and we have a connection. You must believe me. What's so great about going abroad? I'm just going there to make money. Earn abroad and spend domestically; we'll be winners in this world."
Zhang Tianxing said earnestly. A qualified "old yellow ox" was hard to find, especially one who was not only beautiful but also exceptionally capable. Under Yan Ruyu's management, the crayfish hot pot business was thriving, making a fortune daily, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say.
Moreover, within Zhang Tianxing's plan, crayfish hot pot was an indispensable part of his commercial empire.
They would produce their own crayfish, and then sell them. Utilizing his advantage as a pioneer, he could make the crayfish industry bigger and stronger. It would be incredibly simple.
After hearing Zhang Tianxing's explanation, Yan Ruyu's expression softened a tiny bit, but her demeanor remained stern, as if Zhang Tianxing owed her tens of millions.
"How about this, tell me your money-making plan. Let me see if this is a whim or something you've planned for a long time. Why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Yan Ruyu asked directly. The thing she could least tolerate was being deceived.
Especially when the person doing the deceiving was Zhang Tianxing. Yan Ruyu considered Zhang Tianxing like a younger brother. Otherwise, she wouldn't have poured her heart and soul into the crayfish hot pot business.
Running a business together was the only way to ensure long-term success.
Even though Yan Ruyu treated Zhang Tianxing like a younger brother, he was still a university student. A university student's duty was to study diligently, and in Yan Ruyu's mind, Zhang Tianxing just needed to show up occasionally, leaving the store's operations entirely to her.
However, things didn't unfold that way. Yan Ruyu had freed him up, but Zhang Tianxing went off to start an investment company and surprisingly, he was doing remarkably well. He had even brought his good friend Guo Jiajia onboard.
Now, Guo Jiajia was Zhang Tianxing's top assistant. Her talent in investment had been honed by the guidance of a seasoned investor and proven through practical experience. Guo Jiajia, a person with such high standards, had agreed to work under Zhang Tianxing without hesitation.
Regardless of anything else, Yan Ruyu noticed that Zhang Tianxing had a good rapport with women.
At least, both of the "campus beauties" from his high school seemed to have feelings for him. Yan Ruyu still remembered that night last summer, the way those two beautiful girls looked at Zhang Tianxing was clear proof of that.
She had initially thought they would end up together, perhaps one of them would be his partner. Who knew that neither of those two beauties was by Zhang Tianxing's side?
The outcome was beyond Yan Ruyu's expectations. Without the high school beauties, women still kept appearing around him. Yan Ruyu had completely lost hope. There was nothing she could do; her "younger brother" was just too handsome.
The saying "looks are justice" was indeed true. Yan Ruyu had asked herself more than once, if Zhang Tianxing were an ugly person, would they still have become partners?
The answer was definitely no. Attractive people were more favored, especially by beautiful women.
Yan Ruyu was an undeniable beauty, that was for sure.
A handsome guy and a beautiful girl, they never feared hard work.
"Sister Yan, I'm sincere. If I don't come back after going abroad, my mother will immediately disown me. That's not all," Zhang Tianxing said helplessly. He wasn't alone; he had parents, how could he not return?
Besides, there was really nothing abroad that attracted him. He just wanted to make money there.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be acting like this.
"Oh, right, Sister Ruyu, I still need to tell Jiajia. I'll be out for half a year, so the matters at home will have to be entrusted to you two sisters. Guard my savings for a wife. If I lose money, I won't have the funds to get married. It's really difficult to find a good wife these days." Zhang Tianxing played on their emotions. He had no choice, as an army is easy to recruit, but a general is hard to find.
These two women could be considered Zhang Tianxing's left and right hands. With them, his affairs became much more manageable.
With talented individuals assisting him, the boss could rest easy.
Even a hero made of steel can only drive so many nails. This was not an era of solo battles; teamwork was the trend.
No matter how capable one person was, their energy was limited, and they couldn't attend to everything.
Knowing how to delegate and utilizing people's strengths was the key to achieving great things. Zhang Tianxing had now learned to delegate. He could only wrap so many dumplings himself, but with his wealth, building a team would make his resources inexhaustible.
Yan Ruyu looked at Zhang Tianxing's face and asked seriously, "I'll ask you one last time, what is the purpose of your trip abroad this time?"
"To tell you the truth, Sister, I didn't really plan to go. But when our school leader suggested I lay low for a while, I immediately had an idea. You wanting me to leave is just because you're afraid of me. Fine, I'll go. Let them be happy for a couple of days. Then, I'll go abroad and make a fortune. In less than half a year, I'll return with wealth that can crush them, making them open their damn eyes. To think they could weaken me by taking advantage of this opportunity is impossible," Zhang Tianxing declared with great pride.
His words were eloquent and resonant. Yan Ruyu was mesmerized. A man speaking with conviction was the most handsome. Zhang Tianxing in this state was too captivating. Fortunately, only she could see this expression of his, which was great.
"Alright, seeing how sincere you are, I'll reluctantly help you one more time. However, I'm only giving you half a year. If you don't return by then, don't bother coming back. My sister and I have plenty of ways to make you bankrupt. I absolutely keep my word, you must believe in the abilities of Jiajia and me!" Yan Ruyu stated word by word.
