Chapter 619: with translation of title

~7 min read 1,235 words

The legendary figure who, with just a codename, strikes fear into M Guo's financial circles is set to arrive in M Guo next week.

This news spread rapidly through the private chat groups of M Guo's underground investment circles.

Those few men who operate behind the scenes have been in the circle for years, yet the speed at which the news spread far exceeded Shi Che's expectations.

Within less than half a day, several peers who usually don't keep in touch sent messages to probe.

【Young Master Shi, heard You is coming? Real or fake?】

【You is coming out of seclusion?! You say should I go to your place to wait for him, or go to your place to wait for him?】

【Rumor has it that You will make a formal appearance? That would mean that over the next few weeks, M Guo's financial circles here won't be peaceful.】

【Brother, stop playing dead, give a definite answer.】

Shi Che uniformly replied "I don't know", then quickly switched out of the chat window, pretending to be busy.

The more he concealed things, the faster the news spread; by evening, someone had already posted a vague update on the circle's social platform.

【That person is about to appear, this year's most anticipated news, without equal!!】

The comment section below immediately exploded.

Many people asked who it was, or guessed which industry tycoon it was, and some directly named "You".

That post was deleted not long after, but screenshots had already spread among several core circles.

Shi Che watched the message notifications constantly pop up on his phone screen, and silently set his phone to silent.

The news is out; this time the commotion got a bit big, hoping that foster father won't be too angry when he comes next week.

A week passed while staying at the Mountain Villa.

Mu Xi was the first to leave here; he took a call, told his younger siblings, and rushed off to drive.

On the same day, Song Huaiyu's vacation ended and he also had to leave; Song Huaixian went with him.

Early the next morning, Song Lujing took a call; the other end was probably his team's coach, asking when he could return to training.

After hanging up, he went to his sister's door and knocked, saying, "Sister, I've checked in at the base; I'll come keep you company later, remember to think of me."

Mu Youyu opened the door and waved at him, "Lujing brother, keep going, I'll wait for you."

After this person left, besides her and Jiang Liangjin, only Mu Xin and Mu Xianqi remained; the courtyard instantly fell silent for a few moments.

Mu Youyu held the glutinous rice ball in her arms and sighed idly.

After greeting Mu Xin, she got up and walked to Jiang Liangjin's door, knocking; a low voice came from inside: "Come in."

She pushed the door open; before she even stepped in, her eyes shifted and a plan formed in her mind.

She released her hold on the glutinous rice ball, pointed at the open door, indicating the cat should wake Jiang Liangjin on its own.

This cat, also clever, entered the room with elegant steps, its tail held high, leaving a silent plum-blossom pattern on the carpet.

At that moment, Jiang Liangjin sat at his desk, attending a video conference; the screen's cold light outlined his deep profile, and his tone when speaking was not good: "Redo."

The glutinous rice ball had already walked to the side of the desk, pushed off with its hind legs, lightly jumped onto the desk edge, and sat down on the edge of the document he had spread out.

It tilted its fluffy head, its sapphire eyes fixed on him, the tip of its tail lightly brushing the edge of the document.

It seemed to want to convey with its gaze: Human, I advise you to quickly end this meaningless conversation.

Jiang Liangjin's voice glitched for a moment; the executives on the other end noticed the abnormality here, and the eyes of several split-screen avatars on the screen began to flicker subtly.

【The chairman keeps a cat?】

【I don't know, it seems to belong to Miss Mu.】

【No wonder he's so self-important.】

He raised his hand to rub his brow, "... Wait for my message."

After ending the video call, Jiang Liangjin pushed his computer aside, lowered his gaze to stare at the cat, and asked feigning ignorance: "Who sent you?"

The glutinous rice ball responded with a short meow, then jumped off the desk and stepped on his foot, as if saying: "It's none of your business who sent me."

"" Jiang Liangjin reached out to pick it up, but it nimbly rolled to the side, indicating he should look behind the door.

Mu Youyu was leaning against the doorframe, tilting her head to look at him with a bright smile: "Busy person, in a meeting?"

Jiang Liangjin pointed at the clump of glutinous rice ball, "Just ended; you also saw its performance just now."

Mu Youyu leaned against the doorframe, feigning curiosity: "How did it perform?"

Jiang Liangjin waved at her.

After his fiancée walked in, he slowly said: "It is now my assistant, specifically responsible for stepping on people's feet; from now on, whoever speaks nonsense in meetings, I'll have it scratch them."

Mu Youyu was amused by this: "Then how is its salary calculated?"

"Room and board included, plus a cat treat every day."

Jiang Liangjin lifted the glutinous rice ball to eye level with him: "However, as my assistant, were you secretly taking private jobs behind my back just now?"

The glutinous rice ball turned its face away haughtily, flicked its paw impatiently, refusing to meet his gaze.

Mu Youyu laughed as she rescued the glutinous rice ball from his hand, casually asking: "Didn't disturb you just now, did I?"

Jiang Liangjin pondered, then accused: "A bit; when it burst in, I was training someone, which prevented me from fully exerting my presence."

Mu Youyu blinked twice: "Who are you going to criticize?"

Jiang Liangjin remained expressionless: "Criticizing those who didn't come find me early after waking up."

"" Mu Youyu realized he was talking about herself, suppressed a smile, put the glutinous rice ball down, and began to speak seriously: "This place is so boring; I don't want to stay here any longer. Let's call Mu Xin and the others and head to M Guo now, how about that?"

Jiang Liangjin didn't hesitate, took her hand: "Sure, as long as you want, I can leave anytime."

The two went downstairs to explain the situation to the elders; Shen Ningmu was reluctant: "Why suddenly leave? Weren't we supposed to stay a few more days?"

Jiang Liangjin gave a brief explanation.

Shen Ningmu interpreted his words as the son and daughter-in-law going on a honeymoon: "Alright, then stay safe on the road, and once you reach M Guo, remember to check in."

Not long after Song Lujing left, uncles and aunts came one after another with concern.

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Ye Ye came out of the house: "Just leaving? So early? Not staying a few more days?"

Mu Youyu smiled: "Jiang Ye Ye, we'll come back after a while, and then we'll come to see you again."

Jiang Ye Ye let out an "eh", chuckled and waved his hand, "All right, then you be careful on the road."
