Chapter 1817: This Time They Won't Scrape Off All Your Capital, Will They?

Chuxue didn't have much ambition; her main principle was to seize opportunities when they arose. This way, they wouldn't need to redistribute the shares again, which was quite good.

Seeing her agree, Jiang Wenxing smiled and said, "It's best if you agree to this; it will save us a lot of trouble. I came today just to give you a heads-up so you can prepare."

Chuxue smiled and asked, "Roughly when will you need it?"

Jiang Wenxing leaned against a pavilion pillar behind her and said, "We should be able to get the matter done by next week."

Chuxue smiled and said, "Alright. I'll go to the First Machinery Department these next few days to pick up a few more translation jobs. I should be able to gather enough money by next week when you need it."

Hearing her say this, Jiang Wenxing laughed and asked, "This time, they won't scrape off all your capital, will they?"

Chuxue looked into the distance, a serene smile on her face. "About that, yes. But I trust your judgment; following you is definitely the right move."

Jiang Wenxing didn't expect Chuxue to say that. "Sister, I love hearing you say that."

To be honest, in these times, an ordinary worker earned only thirty-something yuan a month. Chuxue's previous investment of twenty thousand hadn't yet yielded any returns. Today, she came simply to notify her as per custom; she truly hadn't expected Chuxue to agree so readily to advance or retreat together.

Actually, they had prepared for two scenarios. If Chuxue stopped investing, they would have to find a way to plug that hole. But to be honest, they couldn't come up with that much money all at once either; they had been raising funds these past few days.

Chuxue's unconditional trust was truly heartwarming, after all, no one could guarantee that the road ahead would be smooth.

Chuxue patted Jiang Wenxing's shoulder. "Although I'm still a bit short on hand, gathering the full amount is definitely not a problem. Notify me a day in advance when you need it. It's settled. Go get back to your work."

Jiang Wenxing gave a hearty laugh. "Alright, I like your straightforwardness. I'm off then; wait for my call."

After watching Jiang Wenxing walk away, she turned and entered the teaching building.

By the time she reached the classroom, class had already begun.

She bent down to enter through the back door and sat in the very last row. The class hadn't lasted long before the dismissal bell rang.

Zhang Yanyan gathered over in no time. "Chuxue, what did Jiang Wenxing want with you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenxing, who was sitting not far ahead, looked over.

Chuxue packed her things while saying, "Nothing major. She happened to be passing by on business and thought she'd come in to check on things."

Seeing that Chuxue didn't want to talk about it, Zhang Yanyan didn't press further. Just as she was about to say something else, she saw Jiang Wenxing walk over. "I say, Xiao Chuxue, are you still in contact with Jiang Wenxing?"

Chuxue didn't like Jiang Wenxing. "Who I keep in contact with is none of your business, right?"

Jiang Wenxing wore a mocking expression on her face. "You probably don't know yet; she's already been disowned by the Jiang family. Now she's likely struggling to take care of herself. You probably won't get a single bit of benefit from her."

Chuxue's face grew cold. "Who I associate with is my own business; you're meddling a bit too much."

After speaking, she leaned back and stared straight at Jiang Wenxing.

Jiang Wenxing suddenly felt a chill at the back of her neck and quickly blurted out, "I'm just kindly reminding you."

Jiang Wenxing wanted to say more, but seeing Chuxue's cold face, she didn't stay there any longer. She turned and slipped back to her seat.

Chuxue rolled her eyes at her retreating back. Although Wenxing had been wrong before, there was no need to belittle others so much. Besides, Jiang Wenxing herself wasn't any better, yet she still had the leisure to mock others.

Chuxue was a person of action. With no class during the fourth period in the morning, she headed straight for the First Machinery Department.

To avoid causing trouble for herself, she had to put on a show. Even the Minister was surprised this time, asking, "Since when has Comrade Chuxue become so ambitious?"
