Chapter 421: She Wants to Bring Her Older Brothers
Feng Linbai's low and pleasant voice reached her ears. Jiang Yu asked, "When next week?"
"Saturday, after you get out of school."
After Feng Linbai's eyes had recovered, Jiang Yu stopped going to the Feng family on the weekends. Feng Linbai was now spending less time with Jiang Yu so he thought of a way to get her alone.
"What do you want to do?"
"Skiing. Is that okay?"
Feng Linbai added, "Are you interested in the famous local hot springs and special delicacies?"
However, Jiang Yu suddenly said, "Do you mind if I bring a few extra people?"
Bring... a few extra people?
Feng Linbai was silent for a moment. "Can you tell me who they are?"
Jiang Yu said, "My brothers."
Feng Linbai was even more silent.
He wanted to take Jiang Yu out to play, then Jiang Yu would appear with her brothers...
This scene was too beautiful...
Moreover, if those few unsuspecting people came, wouldn't they do everything they could to ruin his relationship with Jiang Yu?
"If it's not possible, then forget it," Jiang Yu said. "I might have something to do next weekend."
She wasn't lying, nor did she think that there was anything wrong with Feng Linbai's lack of an answer.
She just had other thoughts on her mind.
Now that she knew about this, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing, right?
Feng Linbai immediately said, "No problem, no problem at all. Yu'er, you can bring whoever you want. I'll just book us a few extra rooms."
"Wait until I confirm the number of people before you book the rooms, alright?"
Fortunately, it was just a phone call, so Jiang Yu couldn't see Feng Linbai's expression.
Feng Linbai put on a fake smile and said, "Okay, Yu'er."
He didn't want more people at all, did he?
Especially Jiang Xingyi and Jiang Zeyu. It was like they were guarding against him as if he were a wolf.
Forget it. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't stop him from stealing away this little fish's heart.
After Feng Linbai hung up the phone, Ke Yanbin asked politely, "How was it? Did Miss Jiang agree?"
"She agreed. She just said that she would be bringing a few more people."
"Ah..."
Ke Yanbin said regretfully, "Miss Jiang is indeed a straight woman. For such a man to invite her on a date, she has to bring other people? It's not a blind date. Miss Jiang doesn't look like someone who has stage fright. Is she going to give you the stamp of approval?"
Feng Linbai threw him a cold glance and said, "Stamp of approval?"
Don't think that he didn't know what this meant.
The corner of Ke Yanbin's mouth twitched and he immediately realized that he had misspoken. "Miss Jiang is definitely not trying to give you any kind of stamp. If she did, she would have given it to you long ago..."
Feng Linbai's gaze became even colder.
Ke Yanbin said, "No, no, no, Master. You don't need any seal of approval. Miss Jiang is probably just shy and thinks that it'd be less awkward with more people around..."
Ke Yanbin was on the verge of tears as he spoke. Jiang Yu... was shy? She didn't want it to be awkward?
F*ck, even he couldn't believe what he had just said, let alone Feng Linbai.
Feng Linbai looked as if he was about to throw him out.
But Ke Yanbin was still adamant. "Who is Miss Jiang bringing? It can't be that she's being a riva—"
Fortunately, he suddenly had an epiphany and swallowed back the word "rival".
Ke Yanbin changed his words, "A friend who is as close as a sister, Ji Churan?"
Feng Linbai glanced at him. "She wants to bring her older brothers."
Ke Yanbin exhaled. "That's still alright. They're her older brothers."
It was better than a love rival.
Although Miss Jiang was slow, she probably couldn't tell what those little boys were thinking about her.
Feng Linbai snorted coldly. "How are older brothers alright?"
Chapter 422: The Results of the DNA Test
Ke Yanbin stated matter-of-factly, "Well, the brothers don't pose any threat to you, Master."
Feng Linbai waved his hand. "Get out. You're lowering the IQ of this room by standing here."
...
On the other end, Jiang Yu hung up the phone. She wanted to send a message to Jiang Xingyi and Jiang Zeyu about this matter, but she looked at the time and saw that it was already nine o'clock, so she decided not to disturb them.
Then, she gradually fell asleep.
In her dream, she became a child and saw Mother Jiang.
Mother Jiang had a good-looking and gentle face, possessing the elegant temperament of a southern beauty.
She combed Jiang Yu's hair and said gently, "Mommy's little baby, you must grow up well."
The little girl replied in a childish voice and shouted, "Braid my hair."
Mother Jiang smiled and kissed little Jiang Yu on the cheek.
She said gently, "Mommy loves you."
...
The results of the DNA test came back really quickly.
It was indeed as Jiang Wan had said, she and Jiang Chenglang were brother and sister.
Jiang Chenglang wasn't surprised by this result. He immediately arranged for people to start gathering evidence of Father Jiang's infidelity.
In the end, his people couldn't find anything. Cheese Tarts, the hacker that had received their order on the darknet hacker forum, sent an email directly to his inbox. It was as if the person knew what they had been investigating recently.
When Jiang Chenglang saw it, he immediately laughed out of anger.
The information showed that Father Jiang had been with that woman from the Lu family long before, even before Mother Jiang was pregnant.
Moreover, that woman was also married at that time, and both of them had cheated on their marriages with each other.
Amazing.
Admirable.
So Father Jiang was so shameless.
It made his previous sternness seem like a complete joke.
Jiang Chenglang's eyes turned cold as he began to make his move.
If Jiang Wan wanted this old house, he would give it to her. He didn't want to live in such a disgusting and dirty place anymore.
It no longer held any good memories. Jiang Chenglang packed up his mother's things and knew he wouldn't miss this old house at all.
Jiang Yu didn't have many things to begin with, so she didn't mind. Moreover, Jiang Chenglang would arrange for the move, so she didn't need to worry about it.
She sent a message to the other members of the Jiang family. "I'm moving out."
Jiang Zeyu was the first to reply, "Little Sister, where are you moving to? You've finally thought it through? You're leaving the Jiang family and won't see that liar Jiang Wan anymore?"
Jiang Zeyu: "Congratulations! Do you want me to help you move?"
Jiang Yu: "There's no need. Jiang Chenglang will take care of it. I'm going with him."
Jiang Zeyu: "? ? ?"
Jiang Yu: "Are you free to go skiing next weekend?"
Jiang Zeyu: "Yes, yes, yes! Definitely! Definitely!"
The person who rejects an invitation from his little sister must be an idiot!
He was definitely not an idiot!
Jiang Xingyi must still be on set or rehearsing, so he didn't reply.
Jiang Jingnian immediately replied as well, "When will you be coming to the Research Institute?"
Jiang Yu: "I can't come next week. Maybe next year."
After some thought, she asked again, "Are you free next weekend?"
Jiang Jingnian: "Why?"
Jiang Yu: "Want to go skiing together?"
Jiang Jingnian: "Who else?"
Jiang Yu: "Jiang Xingyi and the others."
Jiang Jingnian: "I'm not sure. Is it on New Year's Eve?"
Jiang Yu was stunned.
She hadn't realized what day the next weekend was.
When she looked at the calendar, it really was New Year's Eve, the day at the end of the year, and New Year's Day the next.
Jiang Yu suddenly understood something.
It seemed that Feng Linbai had deliberately chosen this date...
Then, she had blurted out and asked Feng Linbai if she could bring more people, to pray for the shadow in Feng Linbai's heart...
Chapter 423: Invited Her Older Brothers Out to Play
But on second thought, it seemed a little strange for her to go out alone with him on New Year's Eve and even out of the city?
So, it seemed normal for her to bring a few older brothers along.
Wasn't it fun to have more people?
Jiang Yu quickly threw away the little bit of guilt that she had felt. Time really flew by, it was almost the second year.
Jiang Yu wrapped her scarf around her neck and replied, "Yes, are you free?"
Jiang Jingnian's fingers hovered over his phone.
On New Year's Eve...
His little sister had sent him an invitation...
It seemed a little too much to reject?
But when he thought about Jiang Xingyi and the others, Jiang Jingnian immediately replied in a reserved manner, "I need to check with the Research Institute first."
Jiang Yu calculated the days and said, "Give me a reply by tomorrow at the latest. I need to book a room."
It was definitely impossible to book double rooms.
Two brothers living in the same room...
That wasn't something that she could imagine at the moment.
After a while, Jiang Xingyi called.
It seemed like he had just finished practicing his dance and was still a little out of breath.
"Little Sister, why are you moving? Do you need to move to my place?"
Jiang Yu wondered why Jiang Xingyi's answer was so similar to Jiang Zeyu's. She replied, "No, I've already chosen a place to stay with Jiang Chenglang."
Jiang Xingyi frowned. "You're still going to stay with him?"
Jiang Yu replied, "Yes."
Jiang Xingyi asked curiously, "Why is Big Jiang moving? What happened?"
Jiang Yu didn't hide anything from him. "Jiang Chenglang wants to leave the old house to Jiang Wan. So she can stay here and we'll move out."
Jiang Xingyi burst out laughing. "That's quite a mean move."
Following Jiang Chenglang's style, he must have already chosen a place.
But the question was, why did Jiang Chenglang suddenly want to move out?
Moreover, why did he want to leave Jiang Wan there?
Jiang Xingyi had heard that Jiang Wan had left the Jiang family to live elsewhere, but he didn't take it seriously.
Firstly, he wasn't close to Jiang Wan and didn't care about her. After he had left the Jiang family, he had selectively ignored all the news related to the Jiang family, let alone Jiang Wan.
Secondly, he didn't know what Jiang Wan had done. He thought that Jiang Chenglang was just like him and had a normal relationship with his little sister. Since Jiang Yu had returned, why would he still keep Jiang Wan?
Of course, Jiang Yu's feelings should come first.
Not to mention that he was heartless, this was something Father Jiang had taught him.
Wasn't Father Jiang the one who wanted to change his sister's name back then?
To have a stepdaughter live with the Jiang family and carry his little sister's name. Wasn't that in really bad taste?
Jiang Xingyi asked, "Why are you suddenly moving out?"
Jiang Yu replied, "I'm just tired of living here."
"Where's the new place?"
Jiang Yu gave him the address and Jiang Xingyi jotted it down. Jiang Yu then asked, "Are you free next weekend?"
Jiang Xingyi replied, "I'm going to a New Year's Eve party."
He was keenly aware that Jiang Yu was probably asking for another reason. So, he asked, "Little Sister, do you have any plans?"
"I originally wanted to invite you to go skiing, but since you have a party, it's ok then."
Jiang Xingyi thought to himself. The New Year's Eve party had been set up a long time ago, and they had signed a contract. It wouldn't be good for him to miss the party and his professional ethics wouldn't allow it.
But on the other hand, he really wanted to spend time with his little sister.
Jiang Xingyi said, "The New Year's Eve party will end at midnight. I have time to go over, and my program is in the front, so it's fine if I leave a little earlier. Little Sister, tell me where the place is and I'll go there immediately after I finish my work."
Chapter 424: Sister Jiang Yu, Are You Free Tonight?
Jiang Yu: "I need to get back to you on that. I'll send you the address when the time comes."
Jiang Xingyi: "Okay."
Jiang Xingyi was filled with anticipation. This was great! He could go out and play with his little sister!
It was so unexpected that he didn't stop to think whether he'd be going out with his little sister alone. There might be other people...
This point was completely ignored by Jiang Xingyi...
...
While Jiang Wan was still in the hospital, Jiang Chenglang was preparing to move.
At this moment, the results of the semi-finals of the five-subject examination had just been released.
The official website that was releasing the results for the five-subject examination almost crashed again.
The main reason was that after Jiang Yu had won first place in the preliminary round, a lot of people were now paying attention to this competition. They knew the last round had only been the preliminaries and that the semi-finals were coming up next. They sat in front of their computers and just stared, waiting for the results of the semi-finals.
When the results were finally published and some people saw the name list, they weren't surprised to see the first-place candidate. They couldn't help but shout on Weibo.
[Everyone, quickly! Go and look at the results of the semi-finals of the five subjects examination. The results are out! My sister is first again! It's a full score! My sister is a monster!]
And true enough, everyone responded to the call. A bunch of people rushed into the website to look at the name list. In the end, they saw the same line of words as the last time.
First Place: Jiang Yu, A High, 500 points.
Everyone: "..."
Trembling, they came back to type:
[What monster are you talking about? How can you talk like that? That's the God of Learning. God of Learning, do you understand?]
[Alright, I've already prepared images of my sister. Everyone, please take it. Our exam finals are about to begin. Pray to the God of Learning. Maybe you won't fail your exam then?]
[So the result of this semi-final is a copy and paste of the results of the previous preliminaries? If I remember correctly, it looks like the top three are still the same three people?]
[There are slight differences. For example, the scores are different. This time, the score of the second place holder is 15 points higher than the last time. However, the score of the third place holder still hasn't changed...]
[So this tells us that the ones with good results are the ones that we can't catch up with no matter how hard we try. Alright, let's just look and leave... On second thought, I don't want to leave. I want to continue praising my sister!"
...
Zhao Jiande happily announced the news and called Jiang Yu to his office to praise her. Cheng Maoshi held his thermos cup in his hands and smiled.
After Jiang Yu had left, Zhao Jiande was still in high spirits. He said to Cheng Maoshi, "This time, four people from our school made it into the semi-finals with four among the top 20 in the country and then three in the top 10.
"Among them, Jiang Yu got first place with full marks. She really gave a satisfactory answer! Now, that Beijing Two should have nothing to say, right?"
Cheng Maoshi took a sip of water and shook his head, "Beijing Two is not bad. In any case, among the top 20 in the country, Beijing High also has four people in the top 20. However, only two of their students made it into the top 10. The best ranking is Qin Fangfei, and the second place is slightly inferior.
"However, if we ignore the God-like existence of Jiang Yu, Qin Fangfei took second place with 460 points. That's very impressive."
Zhao Jiande clicked his tongue. "Now that you mention it, it makes sense. Qin Fangfei is indeed impressive. If it wasn't for Jiang Yu's sudden appearance, she would have been first place."
Cheng Maoshi said proudly, "So now you know why I coaxed Jiang Yu to participate in the five-subject examination, right?"
Everyone in the office gave him a thumbs up.
"You are wise, team leader!"
Cheng Maoshi shook his head proudly.
Wasn't that right?
He had to be credited with this achievement!
"But..." Zhao Jiande looked around and only dared to continue when Kong Tang wasn't in the office, "It's quite surprising that Chen Miaoyi made it into the top 10 this time. She didn't even make it into the top 20 in the preliminaries, but she made it into the top 10 in the semi-finals and even surpassed Jiang Wan..."
"Some people are talented in these kinds of competitions. Chen Miaoyi is talented."
Cheng Maoshi said slowly, "Besides, she has a friend who scored full marks."
Zhao Jiande suddenly understood. "That's true. If Jiang Yu tutored her, those questions wouldn't be a problem."
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "If Jiang Yu can tutor Chen Miaoyi, why doesn't she tutor her brother?"
As soon as Zhao Jiande said this, the entire office fell silent.
Jiang Zeyu, huh...
Hmmm...
Cheng Maoshi poured some more tea into his thermos cup and looked at Zhao Jiande with his small eyes.
"I've already said that some people's talent lies in other aspects. Jiang Zeyu doesn't have talent in learning, so forget it. Jiang Yu probably thinks so too."
Although he was a teacher and a grade leader, Cheng Maoshi also felt that some people's talent was not reflected in their textbook results, but in other aspects.
Otherwise, how did people from all walks of life exist?
Those calligraphers, artists, musicians, pianists... Did they have good results back in school?
But in front of those parents who wanted their child to succeed, he couldn't say this.
Otherwise, he would be treated as a teacher who ruined their child.
"Jiang Zeyu is working hard now," Cheng Maoshi said in an ambiguous manner. "Let him be."
...
The person in question, Jiang Zeyu, was sleeping in the classroom.
After starting his training, he became even more tired and sleepy every day.
As he slept, Feng Tianrui was playing games next to him.
When Feng Tianrui saw that Jiang Yu had returned, he immediately took Jiang Zeyu's place and went up to her.
"Sister Jiang Yu, are you free tonight?"
The girl sitting next to him: ???
She nervously looked back at Jiang Zeyu and saw that he was dead asleep. He was lying on the table, motionless.
The girl sitting next to him: Oh my God, School Bully, wake up! Someone is trying to snatch your sister away!
Jiang Yu: "What's wrong?"
Feng Tianrui waved his phone and gestured, "If you're free, could you make time to go online and play a few rounds of the game together?"
Female deskmate: 'He's actually using the game to ask Sister Yu out. He's so sneaky!'
Jiang Yu: "I'm not free."
Feng Tianrui: "Then, how about tomorrow night?"
Jiang Yu: "I'm not free either."
Feng Tianrui laughed dryly and said, "Sister Jiang Yu, you're so busy..."
Jiang Yu: "Yeah, I'm very busy. I'm busy sleeping."
Feng Tianrui: "..."
So, she was blatantly rejecting him?
He lowered his voice and moved closer to ensure that his voice wouldn't reach the ears of a third person.
"I know about you and Fifth Uncle!"
Jiang Yu asked, "Then do you know about your father calling me?"
She deliberately didn't lower her voice, so the girl sitting next to her could also hear it.
Feng Tianrui: ???
The girl sitting next to him: ???
Chapter 425: Be Careful of Feng Tianrui. He's Plotting Against Sister Yu!
She suddenly felt a little excited as if she had just heard some big insider news.
Feng Tianrui's father had called Jiang Yu?
What kind of plot twist was this?!
Could it be that a rich father knew that his son had fallen in love with a girl and felt that the girl wasn't good enough for his son, so he called her and threatened her? Offering her money so that she would leave his son?
Ah, that's not right. How could Sister Yu not be good enough for Feng Tianrui?
So, it had to be that kind of drama!
Feng Tianrui's mouth was agape, but he didn't know what to say. "My dad? Why is he looking for you?"
Jiang Yu: "He wants me to tutor you."
Feng Tianrui: "..."
The corner of his mouth twitched. Could his father really do something like that?
And he didn't even tell his son about it after he had done such a thing!
As a result, he found out through Jiang Yu. He was completely blindsided.
Then, in the next moment, Feng Tianrui's mind was filled with thoughts: 'It's over, it's over. If Fifth Uncle finds out, I'm done for!'
Feng Tianrui: "Sister Jiang Yu, let me explain..."
Jiang Yu: "Go ahead."
She had an expression that said, "I want to see what you have to say."
Feng Tianrui subconsciously gulped in nervousness.
He raised a hand to prove his innocence, "Sister Jiang Yu, I don't have any other thoughts about you. I really just want to play games with you... My dad misunderstood. I'll explain it to him when I get home. You have to believe me!"
Jiang Yu said, "Oh."
Feng Tianrui whispered weakly, "Why don't I stop calling you sister? I'll call you... Fifth Aunt?"
Jiang Yu almost choked.
She turned around and flipped open a book. "I'm not playing games with you."
Feng Tianrui returned to his seat dejectedly and happened to see Jiang Zeyu waking up.
Jiang Zeyu said in a daze, "Eh, my little sister's back?"
Feng Tianrui didn't reply.
Jiang Zeyu quickly ran to his little sister, his tail wagging.
Just as he was about to return to his seat, a girl beside him suddenly stuffed a note into his hand.
Jiang Zeyu was a little displeased, but he saw the girl nervously winking at him while her eyes kept glancing behind him.
Jiang Zeyu was puzzled. He opened the note and saw a sentence written on it:
"Be careful of Feng Tianrui. He's plotting against Sister Yu!"
Jiang Zeyu: ???
He angrily returned to his seat and slammed the note on Feng Tianrui's table. He asked, "Is there something going on that I don't know about?"
Feng Tianrui: "I can explain..."
Jiang Zeyu: "I won't listen!"
Feng Tianrui: ???
Jiang Zeyu: "Alright, talk, I'll listen!"
Feng Tianrui pinched the space between his eyebrows. "I really just want someone to form a team with. I feel like I've hit a bottleneck recently, and I just want your sister to help me improve..."
Jiang Zeyu's focus quickly shifted. "My little sister is so amazing! Even more amazing than you, who's ranked first on the leaderboard."
Feng Tianrui nodded and said, "Her control of the game is amazing. She switched freely and her skills were all very good. Her standards are above mine."
Jiang Zeyu said smugly, "My little sister is indeed amazing!"
Feng Tianrui said, "Then, do you believe me now?"
Jiang Zeyu said, "My little sister, why should I lend her to you? Hmph!"
His little sister hadn't even raced with him a few times, so why should she play games with this kid?!
No!
Feng Tianrui: "..."
Just wait. He was going to make that little snitch pay. Was she tired of living?!
...
After Feng Tianrui returned home, he found Feng Le'an.
Chapter 426: Falling in Love Really Made People Improve
He reprimanded, "Dad, did you call Jiang Yu and ask her to tutor me?"
Feng Le'an rubbed the back of his head as if he was recalling something. "Ah, now that you mention it, I seem to remember something like that..."
Feng Tianrui exposed him. "Dad, you don't have to pretend anymore. You're so fake."
Feng Le'an choked and tried his best to hold on, "Then, it must be true. I'm getting old and can't remember clearly."
Feng Tianrui pressed, "Didn't you say that I should go to A High and just relax? Why did you have to ask someone to tutor me again? Isn't this shooting yourself in the foot?"
Feng Le'an mumbled, "Isn't it because Jiang Yu is amazing and got first place in the five subjects exam... I didn't expect my son to fall in love with a straight A student. I have to say, son, you have good taste!"
Feng Le'an gave him a thumbs up.
Feng Tian Rui's forehead twitched, "Dad, I've already told you that I don't have feelings for Jiang Yu. I only pay attention to her because she plays games well. I just want to form a team with her. I don't have any other intentions."
"Aiyo," Feng Le'an said as if he had been through this before, "I know, I know. She plays games well."
He said softly, "I haven't heard my son praise anyone's gaming standards for so long. It seems like love really makes people improve."
Feng Tian Rui: "... I heard that, Dad."
He repeated, "Jiang Yu's gaming standards are indeed good. I'm not lying. Stop pulling strings, or else..."
Otherwise, he might get sacked by Feng Linbai for nothing.
Feng Le'an still didn't believe it. "Really?"
Feng Tianrui: "Absolutely. It's more real than gold. If it's fake, then let me lose the league tournament!"
Feng Le'an's expression changed. If Feng Tianrui dared to swear on the league tournament, then it meant that he wasn't lying. He really didn't have feelings for Jiang Yu.
"Alright then." Feng Le'an felt a little regretful. "I thought my son had finally come to his senses. Since it's not, then forget it. It's just..."
He looked at Feng Tianrui's expression and said in a low voice, "There's something that's a little complicated. I'll say it simply. Last time, your grandfather already said that he wanted to invite Jiang Yu and the others to the Feng family as guests to talk about wedding arrangements... I think it should happen after New Year's Day..."
"What?!"
"Of course, you're not the only one. Feng Wenshu is also here. He's also planning for Feng Junhao. Anyway, your grandfather said that Jiang Yu and Jiang Wan would be coming over, but he definitely won't be interested in both of them... When the time comes, ahem ahem, we'll see what happens..."
The corner of Feng Tianrui's mouth twitched. "Dad, you're really sneaky!"
...
Two days later, Tongxun Technology Co. Ltd. which the small communications team had started preparing, was officially established.
The company wasn't big at the moment, so they had already recruited all the people they needed.
Ding Jiaxu had prepared the position of general manager of the marketing department for An Yimin according to Jiang Yu's instructions. This would let him be in charge of marketing development.
An Yimin had already prepared a plan. He had not been in Shun-Ning for a long time for nothing and had accumulated some connections.
Moreover, now that Shun-Ning had closed down, he got in touch with some of his old mates. Some of them were willing to work with him. There were also some good employees who were willing to follow him. After all, An Yimin had a good reputation in the company, whether it was working under him or cooperating with him, everyone felt good about it.
Everything was going according to plan and on time.
Chapter 427: Establishment of the Company
After all, this product had just been launched, and not many people knew about their company at the moment. And the older smartphones held the majority of the market share, so it was difficult to get customers to accept a new product and take the initiative to buy it as a group. This was something difficult to do.
The sales curve of the product gradually extended upwards, but the curve wasn't big enough, and it wasn't the effect they wanted.
An Yimin proposed to cooperate with some variety shows to expand their popularity, using the star power of the celebrities in the show, to entice potential customers to buy their product.
Ding Jiaxu also thought that this idea wasn't bad at all.
Although their sugar daddy had recently given them a large sum of money, they still had to spend it sparingly.
After all, if they only spent her money with no returns, what was the point?
Money had to be spent on the edge of the knife. It was a good idea to cooperate with the tv programs and in turn, get word of their product out.
An Yimin led the marketing department in selecting the various programs from all the major channels. From there, they would pick out good partners and engage them one by one. They would understand the thinking of the other party as well as the conditions that could be given.
When Jiang Yu went to the An family for dinner, she overheard An Yimin talking about work.
Although the house she bought for An Yimin was well-decorated, she had yet to pick out soft furnishings and dampen the echoes. She should get them in before the Spring Festival next year.
Jiang Yu had already thought of an excuse to get Ding Jiaxu to say that this was a company benefit and that only outstanding employees were given this benefit. Anyway, with An Yimin's determination, the outstanding employees couldn't escape.
While Jiang Yu was eating, An Yimin was still asking, "Yu Yu, what kind of programs do you usually watch?"
Jiang Yu: "Food programs."
After watching it, she went to look for the food that she had just seen.
Xun Shaorong was a little flustered. "Yu Yu, is this food not to your taste anymore? It's my fault. After so many years, there really isn't that much else I can prepare..."
Xun Shaorong thought to herself that she would definitely go to the bookstore to buy a few gourmet recipe books later. She would learn them well and cook a few more dishes for Yu Yu to eat!
The meat on Jiang Yu's chopsticks almost fell off.
She hadn't expected that her answer would trigger Xun Shaorong's imagination. She hurriedly said, "No, I just think it looks quite interesting."
Xun Shaorong looked as if she was deep in thought. "Don't say anything else. I understand."
Jiang Yu: "..."
However, Jiang Yu's answer didn't give An Yimin too many ideas.
He continued to mumble, "Food shows, how do we implant this into advertisements? To make it look good? But taking photos isn't the main feature of our product. Although we can try our best in this area next time and give the development department some advice... But now, which show is better? Which do people watch more?"
Jiang Yu casually asked, "Can you find the answer by looking at the market share of each show after its broadcast?"
"That makes sense. But a show that is being been broadcasted can't be interrupted midway. If the shows that are not being recorded are not broadcasted, either the investors have already been selected or they are all new shows that have never been broadcast before. It's hard to predict whether the money will be wasted or not."
Jiang Yu: ... An Yimin has indeed thought far ahead and saved quite a bit of money for the company.
"Moreover, the production effects of each channel are different. I've chosen a few channels and the conditions are similar, but it's a bit difficult to choose..."
Just as An Yimin was speaking, Jiang Yu received a call.
It was an unfamiliar phone number.
Jiang Yu picked it up. "Hello?"
Chapter 428: Invited Jiang Yu and Jiang Xingyi to Participate in the Program
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the other side was a mature female voice. "Hello, Miss Jiang. I'm Cui Chaoying, the producer of Apple TV. I went looking for you at A High once. Do you still remember me?"
Jiang Yu vaguely recalled that there seemed to be such a person. At that time, what program did they want her to participate in? She had rejected Chaoying.
She couldn't remember the name of the program. Forget it, it wasn't important.
Cui Chaoying said, "It's like this. We're doing another program now. It's a scenario-based competition variety show that requires close partners. We want to invite Miss Jiang and Mr. Jiang Xingyi to participate. I wonder if you'd be willing?"
Jiang Yu first asked, "Have you asked Jiang Xingyi's opinion?"
Cui Chaoying said, "I've already asked. Mr. Jiang, who said that it's mainly up to you, Miss Jiang. He has a schedule."
Cui Chaoying was telling the truth. She had indeed contacted Jiang Xingyi. Moreover, as she had guessed, Jiang Xingyi had developed an interest in the show and had even asked about some of the content related to the show.
For example, whether it was outdoors or indoors. Was it too difficult and what needed to be done.
Although he wanted to spend more time with Jiang Yu, he didn't want to put her through too much trouble.
Cui Chaoying answered them one by one, but Jiang Xingyi still said that he had to ask for Jiang Yu's opinion. He couldn't make decisions for Jiang Yu.
Cui Chaoying could tell from Jiang Xingyi's words that he was willing to participate in the program. Of course, one was a sister-spoiling maniac, and the other was treating his little sister as a guest at his concert. Moreover, they had sung together... How could a crazy person who never looked away from his little sister reject her suggestion?
Moreover, now that Jiang Yu's results for the semi-finals were out, she was ranked first in the country. All the universities were fighting over her. Even if she went to the most famous university in Beijing, she would still be able to choose a major.
She didn't even need to take the college entrance exam anymore. It could even be said that Jiang Yu was now the most leisurely examinee in the country. She didn't even need to go to school anymore.
With her IQ, did she need to learn high school content?
So, she had the time to participate in variety shows.
Moreover, the participation of smart students in variety shows was also one of the hottest topics on the show.
In addition, Jiang Xingyi was a person with his fanbase. As long as the two of them were confirmed participants, the show would definitely become popular.
Jiang Yu wasn't interested in participating in any variety shows. The reason she was calling him now was just to find an excuse.
But when she heard such an answer, Jiang Yu's first thought was actually: Could it be that the previous incident was still affecting Jiang Xingyi in some way?
Had his popularity really declined?
So, he could even free up time to participate in variety shows?
Could it be that after Jiang Xingyi had switched over to the Feng Ling Group, they weren't taking good care of him?
Jiang Yu frowned. "I'll think about it again."
Jiang Yu didn't immediately reject Cui Chaoying's request, which meant that there was still a chance. Cui Chaoying took advantage of the situation and said, "Why don't I send the contents of the project to your phone later? I will include the idea and location of the project, as well as the places that you might want to go. We already have some plans for the initial stages of the program. I'll send them all to you. See if you're interested."
Jiang Yu: "Okay."
She was wondering if participating in the program could save some of Jiang Xingyi's popularity?
However, she still had to ask Jiang Xingyi for the details.
After all, she had heard before that Jiang Xingyi wasn't very willing to participate in the program, so the fans were clamoring for Jiang Xingyi to open for business. Now that Jiang Xingyi had relented, did that mean that the program might not be too bad?
Chapter 429: Jiang Chenglang Goes to School

If he really wanted to go, it was fine for her to accompany him.
After Jiang Yu hung up the phone, she quickly sent out a few messages.
Jiang Yu only saw a notification on her phone but didn't click on it. She then put her phone back into her pocket.
An Yimin asked, "Yu Yu, are you busy with something? If you're in a hurry, hurry up and go. Don't delay things."
"It's fine, it's not important," Jiang Yu replied.
Seeing that Jiang Yu was indeed calm and collected, An Yimin didn't say anything else.
Now that Jiang Yu had taken first place in the five-subject examination, she didn't have to worry about going to university anymore. As soon as he returned to the district, there would be a wave of congratulatory voices.
An Yimin was also happy for Jiang Yu, so he had called her over specially to celebrate.
After dinner, An Yimin chatted with Jiang Yu for a while before saying that he needed to return to his room to continue preparing for work.
Jiang Yu fell silent. She never knew that An Yimin was such a workaholic.
Xun Shaorong explained on An Yimin's behalf, "Sigh, your father is like this. If he really starts working, he will forget to eat. That's why I have to bring to his food while he's the company from time to time. Otherwise, he'll get gastric pains.
"Also, your father really likes the work this time. He said that the people in the company are all really nice and take good care of him. The company's atmosphere is also good. He's happy to work in such a team. It's been a long time since he has felt this way."
Jiang Yu said happily, "That's good."
"There's another reason," Xun Shaorong whispered, "To be honest with you, the company is paying him quite a high salary. Your father feels bad. He always feels that he has to do as much work as he's paid, so he works even harder. Don't think that he's giving you the cold shoulder. That's just his personality. He can't change it."
Jiang Yu shook her head. "As long as he's happy, don't work too hard."
Jiang Yu had already completely cured An Yimin of his heart disease, so she wasn't worried about the risk of a relapse. But, An Yimin still had to take care of other aspects of his health.
"Don't worry, I'll watch him."
Jiang Yu was about to leave, but when she remembered what An Yimin had said during dinner, she couldn't help but walk into his room to see which shows he had selected. She wanted to see if she could get someone to take a look.
Then, she glanced at An Yimin's list. One of the names seemed familiar.
Hmmm...
Why did this name sound so familiar?
Jiang Yu thought for a moment. She seemed to have seen it somewhere before?
Just now?
She suddenly remembered the phone call from Cui Chaoying and the text message that she had sent.
Jiang Yu unlocked her phone and looked at it. As expected, Cui Chaoying wanted her to participate in this program.
Jiang Yu memorized the other programs in her mind. After leaving the An residence, she gave Ding Jiaxu a call and asked him to find out what kind of production team was behind these programs.
What An Yimin saw was only on the surface, but what Ding Jiaxu could find was information from various channels. In total, it was more comprehensive than what An Yimin could find.
"When you finish compiling the data, let me take a look."
Although Cui Chaoying had invited her and the program had appeared on An Yimin's list, Jiang Yu didn't think that the program was that impressive.
She'd better watch it again.
...
On Monday, Jiang Chenglang walked Jiang Yu to school.
After he had walked Jiang Yu to her classroom door, he turned around and left.
But instead of walking to the school door, he walked toward the teacher's office.
Jiang Chenglang arrived at Kong Tang's office.
Chapter 430: Changing Jiang Wan's Guardian
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Kong Tang was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Chenglang arriving at his office.
The last time Jiang Chenglang had contacted him was during the parent-teacher conference. At that time, Jiang Chenglang had come to attend the parent-teacher conference, but he went to Jiang Yu's classroom.
Later, Jiang Wan came back to class after her long leave of absence. Kong Tang wanted to contact Jiang Chenglang about the five-subject joint examination, but his call had been directly transferred to Jiang Chenglang's assistant's cell phone. It had truly been a long time since he had contacted Jiang Chenglang.
Therefore, Kong Tang was very surprised that Jiang Chenglang had appeared in person.
"Director Jiang, what brings you here?"
"Teacher Kong," Jiang Chenglang said without hesitation, "I'm here to talk to you about changing Jiang Wan's guardian."
Kong Tang was stunned.
"What... Change of guardian?"
"Yes." Jiang Chenglang nodded, "Now, Jiang Wan's guardian is now her biological uncle, Lu Hetai. The process has been completed. This is the revised document. I'll have to trouble the school to make the changes as well. From now on, you don't have to contact me about Jiang Wan anymore. Just look for her uncle."
This news was too sudden. Kong Tang didn't react. "This..."
Could it be that something had happened to the Jiang Family?
So, the last time Jiang Wan took a leave of absence wasn't due to her being sick. Was it because of another reason?
As it involved the Jiang family's private matters, Kong Tang couldn't ask too many questions. However, Jiang Chenglang could see that Kong Tang wanted to say something but hesitated. He asked, "Teacher Kong, do you have any other questions?"
"No, it's just a little sudden..."
Jiang Chenglang glanced at the other teachers in the office who were secretly listening in on their conversation.
In fact, if it was to avoid suspicion, Jiang Chenglang could have gone to other separate guest rooms with Kong Tang, but Jiang Chenglang had felt no need to hide anything.
The office door wasn't locked, and a student walked in.
Jiang Chenglang continued, "Jiang Wan was the daughter my stepmother brought over after my father's second marriage. My father and stepmother had a good relationship, so they doted on this daughter. Later on, my father and stepmother passed away and as the eldest brother, I should be her guardian. But..."
The student quietly pricked up her ears.
She wasn't a gossip.
But what...
Quickly say it!
Oh my God, this news is too explosive!
If Jiang Wan was just the daughter of the Jiang family stepmother, then wasn't she the biological daughter of the Jiang Family?
But she had never mentioned this before!
Although it was understandable that no one would go around saying such things after Jiang Yu was brought back to the Jiang family, some people said that Jiang Yu and Jiang Wan were obviously biological sisters, but why didn't they look alike?
At that time, Jiang Wan clearly heard everything, but she hadn't bothered to explain anything. That was interesting!
Wasn't she just pretending to be deaf and dumb, pretending that she didn't hear any of it?
After all, she didn't want to admit that she was just a burden brought to the house by her stepmother and had nothing to do with the Jiang family, right?
Otherwise, how could Jiang Wan, who was so proud, tolerate her identity being reduced by a large margin?
The girl sneered and heard Jiang Chenglang continue, "However, due to some accidents recently, it has been confirmed that Jiang Wan is my father's illegitimate daughter. Therefore, for the sake of my late mother, if she finds out that I am acting as the guardian of an illegitimate daughter to a man that has betrayed her, she will roll over in her grave."
Thud!
Someone accidentally dropped something.
Kong Tang was speechless.
No...
Was it okay to say out loud such a secret of a rich and powerful family in such a straightforward manner?
Director Jiang, aren't you going to consider avoiding it?
