Chapter 1542: Eagle Under Heaven
If they continued to oppose it, what would the result be?
It goes without saying.
That would be the two children breaking up.
At the time, in the heat of the moment, they felt that if they broke up, they broke up; there was nothing to regret.
But thinking about it later, nothing can always be exactly as one wishes, and perfection does not exist.
It is better for each to take a step back, and that would be enough.
Father Gu stated his position: "Right, no opposition."
"Good, I am preparing to take the postgraduate entrance exam for Professor Zhang."
This was the same choice as Yuxin's, so the Gu parents naturally had no objections.
After dinner, the two were walking by the artificial lake on campus, and Yuxin asked him: "How did you suddenly figure it out?"
Zichen: "Figured it out? Not really, I still think taking the postgraduate exam is useless."
Yuxin: "Then you changed your mind because of me?"
Zichen: "Mm."
Yuxin felt very happy, but the feeling of happiness didn't last long, as Zichen added: "A little bit."
"Go to hell, can't you say it's all because of me?" Yuxin angrily gave him a push.
This guy said with a grin: "You said I can never lie to you, that I must tell the truth in front of you. I am telling the truth now, but you don't like it after I say it."
"Fine, I'll let you off this once. Tell the truth, what is the reason you changed your mind?"
Zichen told the truth: "Half of it is because of you; I don't want to put you in a difficult position between me and your parents. The other half is because of what my mother said. My mother said that when a person stands at a different height, the scenery they see is different..."
He repeated what his mother had said to him, word for word, to his girlfriend.
Gu Yuxin admired her future mother-in-law to the point of prostration.
No one expected that Ji Yingjie's housekeeping company would actually take off.
Eagle Under Heaven not only took off but was doing so well it was even preparing to go public.
Sheng Hanyu returned home after work and said to his wife: "Aunt's housekeeping company is going public, did you know?"
"Are you kidding? A housekeeping company going public? Stop joking." She didn't take it seriously.
"I'm serious. Didn't you watch the news today?"
Seeing that her husband's expression didn't look like he was joking, Shi Youxuan then picked up her phone to take a look: "My god, it really is."
A housekeeping company going public isn't a novel thing, but to take a company public just one year after opening is definitely a novel thing!
How did Aunt manage to do it?
Before Shi Youxuan could ask, Aunt's call came through: "Xuanxuan, tomorrow at six in the evening, I'm holding an anniversary celebration at the Crown Hotel. You and your husband both come over to support me."
"Aunt, I heard your company went public? Congratulations!"
"Don't just say congratulations with your mouth. When you come tomorrow, send a few large flower baskets and be a bit high-profile to help me hold up the scene. Alright, I still have to call others, hanging up."
After speaking, the "beep-beep" sound came from the phone. She hung up just like that; it was just that straightforward.
Anyway, she had said everything she wanted to say. As for whether the niece and her husband had time?
Whether they wanted to go?
These were not within the scope of her considerations.
Of course, what if the niece and her husband didn't go? Hehe, the consequences would be very serious.
Usually, Shi Youxuan and Ji Yingjie could bicker and roast each other however they liked, but in matters like this, there could be no ambiguity.
Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu attended on time, giving Ji Yingjie plenty of face.
It wasn't just the flower baskets; they also sent the entire display of ceremonial cannons, and the best band in all of Jiangzhou was invited by Sheng Hanyu.
Ji Yingjie's face gained quite a bit of color, and she was very happy.
It was rare for her to praise her niece's husband, and she said to her niece: "Xuanxuan, your husband is not bad this time; he counts as having done a proper thing. I actually invited this band too, but they wouldn't come. I didn't expect you to be able to invite them over."
Shi Youxuan said: "Do you think everything can be solved with money? This band has a cooperative relationship with Ding Sheng and doesn't easily cooperate with outsiders."
"Hmph! Give you an inch and you take a mile. What's so great about that? I didn't invite them because my subordinates were incompetent and the money wasn't given to the right place. If the money is given to the right place, there is nothing that cannot be done."
She didn't want to be outdone, even if this person was her own niece.
"You couldn't invite them no matter how much money you gave. If you don't believe me, let's bet."
Shi Youxuan didn't give an inch at all, going tit-for-tat with her aunt, just wanting to dampen her arrogant spirit: "Don't always be so self-righteous, thinking that having money is everything. Look at the guests invited today; how many powerful people did you invite?"
Ji Yingjie fell silent.
Even if her niece didn't say it, she had actually noticed it.
There were many guests today, and it looked glorious on the surface, but most of them were the connections of her two nieces and their husbands. The people she could invite were indeed not impressive enough.
A strong thought emerged in Ji Yingjie's heart: she must have power; she must have power, influence, and connections in Jiangzhou!
The anniversary celebration of Eagle Under Heaven began.
It was made very lively.
Jian Yining and Wan'er, needless to say, had to come. Besides them, the Yun Family, and Sheng Zerong and Jian Yixin were all invited.
The families were all big shots in the Jiangzhou business world; any one of them pulled out would be a focus.
Now that so many focuses were gathered together, it was like a group of dazzling stars.
The light of the stars radiated in all directions, covering up the limelight of today's host.
Ji Yingjie's desire for connections and power became even stronger!
Regardless of whose limelight it was, anyway, after this anniversary celebration, Eagle Under Heaven caused a sensation throughout all of Jiangzhou.
Later, everyone realized that their lives were closely intertwined with Eagle Under Heaven Housekeeping, to the point where they could no longer be separated.
Although it hadn't been long, their businesses had already formed a one-stop service chain.
Taking children to and from school, cooking, cleaning, washing windows, and hourly domestic work were all handled by specialized nannies, and these nannies were not just women, but also men.
In addition, there were other related industries and daily consumables!
There was nothing they couldn't do; there was only what you couldn't imagine.
Ji Yingjie truly had a head for business; for someone so chauvinistic, she was still able to handle the housekeeping industry with ease.
……
Ji Yingjie's birthday was approaching, and she took the initiative to call Shi Youxuan to ask for a gift: "My birthday is next week, what gift have you prepared for me?"
Shi Youxuan hadn't prepared any gift at all; she hadn't remembered it in the slightest.
Although she hadn't remembered, she couldn't tell the truth, as the consequences of telling the truth would be severe.
"Hey! Who is like you? I've never heard of someone proactively asking for a birthday gift. Don't worry, I've already prepared it. Of course there's a gift, and it's a surprise, but I can't tell you right now."
"Pfft! Don't try that with me. If I hadn't asked for it, you definitely wouldn't have remembered! What kind of surprise is it? Let me guess?"
Although Ji Yingjie was quite old, she was still like a little girl.
She liked surprises, liked romance, and liked unexpected little joys.
"Jewelry?"
Shi Youxuan said: "Of course not, how could I be so tacky? You have countless pieces of jewelry; no matter what kind of jewelry I give you, you wouldn't find it rare."
