~6 min read 1,160 words

"Haha, that's all I can say for now." Xiao Ming laughed heartily: "I built a laboratory earlier; we must make good use of this hard-won resource and let them thoroughly research aerospace technology and high-end phone technology."

Xiao Ming himself thought it exciting; he never expected to dig up so many talented people all at once, as if everything had been prepared just for him, and it was just right.

It was precisely because he had these top-tier tech research personnel that, when Meng Zongping said he wanted to sell Dragon Brilliance, Xiao Ming readily agreed.

Meng Zongping's core phone technology was cut off by Mi Guo; for Meng Zongping it was devastating, but for Xiao Ming it's not a problem.

If Mi Guo won't provide it, he'll just research it himself.

"Dad, if that's the case, aren't we incredibly lucky? Dragon Brilliance not only can be revived in your hands, but will also take a big step forward." Xiao Yunzhe said excitedly, unable to sit still, he stood up and paced happily in the study.

"Dad, you're so foresighted, so impressive."

Xiao Yunzhe still thought he was excellent, but now seeing his father, he feels utterly weak.

Afterwards, they talked a bit about work; after finishing, Xiao Ming said to Xiao Yunzhe: "You said you have a very impressive teacher, right? Go make an appointment to see him, and if possible, invite him to a meal."

"Sure, Dad, I'll go to his place this afternoon to check it out." Xiao Yunzhe agreed.

"Yunzhe, Jing Shu's side—have you ever mentioned her studio? I remember you both studied finance, and her grades weren't bad. Since you're going to marry her, it's a shame to keep her just selling houses."

Xiao Ming isn't short of people; moreover, those he has are top-notch talents, but no matter how talented, they're ultimately outsiders, so he inevitably keeps his guard up.

But if family members stayed at his company, it would be different.

The relationship between Geng Jing Shu and Xiao Yunzhe has stood the test of time; through his interactions with her, he also highly regards her character. Although she hasn't formally confirmed marriage with Xiao Yunzhe yet, it's already a done deal.

Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't cause trouble at this time.

Xiao Ming also saw that Geng Jing Shu is a smart child; if she could stay by Xiao Yunzhe's side to help him, he would feel much more at ease.

"I haven't mentioned it to her yet; I'll talk to her later and see what she thinks." Xiao Yunzhe shook his head and replied: "Right, Dad, you weren't planning to provide dorms for some senior staff, were you? Jing Shu's company just launched a new housing project not far from ours."

"Haha, you little rascal, you never forget your wife." Xiao Ming laughed heartily: "Seeing how loving you two are makes me genuinely happy. Alright, I'll have my secretary check it out; if it's suitable, I'll buy a place in their new development."

……

At this moment, Geng Jing Shu was in the sales office, resting in her office.

It wasn't that she was putting on airs as a leader; rather, even if she went out to work, no one would let her work. This was because Xiao Ming had bought many units in their sales office before, and because Xiao Yunzhe often came to see her, everyone saw him arriving in a luxury car each time, so they all knew she was about to become a wealthy daughter-in-law, and they put her on a pedestal.

Bored out of her mind, she could only stay in the office scrolling her phone; occasionally, she saw the news that Minghui Group had acquired Dragon Brilliance, and she was instantly shocked.

Her future father-in-law had just become the richest person in Wuxingguo, and now he pulled off another huge move.

In the afternoon, extremely bored Geng Jing Shu decided to go out for a bit; as soon as she stepped out, she ran into her direct supervisor.

"Jing Shu, you're our company's top salesperson. I heard your future in-laws are that newly richest person of Wuxingguo—you're so blessed."

"Our company just launched another new housing project; the location and conditions are pretty good. I don't know if your in-laws would be interested—could you inquire for us?"

"Look at our company—it's always been good to you. Besides that, you should speak more well of us, right?" said her leader, trying to curry favor.

Geng Jing Shu heard this and inwardly complained.

"Has it been good to her?"

Everything she has came from her own blood, sweat, and tears; earlier, because she offended Xiao Yunzhe's grandmother Wen Fengshu, the houses she sold were returned, and she was scolded as utterly worthless.

"I'll ask him later, though I can't guarantee he'll buy." Geng Jing Shu said perfunctorily.

This leader is just trying to use her as a cash cow, isn't he?

Even if father-in-law Xiao Ming is rich, that's still his money—what's the point of buying so many houses for no reason?

"Fine, fine, go ask him. Also, you represent our company's leadership and all staff—give Mr. Xiao my regards." The leader nodded with a cheerful face.

The leader knew deep down that someone like Xiao Ming, if he doesn't buy, he doesn't buy; but if he does, it's an astronomical sum.

Moreover, if anyone knew that the richest person's daughter-in-law worked at their company, it would be a walking advertisement.

At that moment, a video call from Xiao Yunzhe came through.

Seeing everyone in the lobby looking at her, Geng Jing Shu felt embarrassed, put in earplugs, and answered the call—though everyone already knew it was her boyfriend calling.

"Um, Jing Shu, is that your boyfriend calling?"

"Yes." Geng Jing Shu nodded, then after hanging up calmly, she turned to the leader and said: "He said his father knows we've launched a new housing project and plans to provide dorms for employees; he'll send a secretary over to check it out, and if suitable, he'll buy our units."

Upon hearing that, the leader's eyes lit up: "Really? I mean, Jing Shu is the most capable person in our company."

"But he's just coming to have a look; if it's not suitable..." Geng Jing Shu hesitated to speak.

The leader quickly replied: "I know, I know—don't worry, if you can help bridge things for our company, that's already great."

That attitude was almost too good.

The leader was overly excited; in front of Geng Jing Shu and all staff, he called the company boss and relayed the matter.

The employees in the lobby all looked at Geng Jing Shu with envy.

Before, they'd heard that Geng Jing Shu had a boyfriend who was a poor nobody; they'd gossiped behind her back and even felt sorry for her—but they never expected that, in such a short time, she'd become someone they could only look up to.
