I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 519: Chapter 519 Happy_1

The banquet came to an abrupt end, and looking back on it, I remember that getting those investments at the start wasn’t easy at all. Now, everyone’s falling over themselves to curry favor with me. Actually, another reason is that I have third brother Shen Dong backing me up; if he were here, things would probably be a lot simpler.

But based on my own abilities, I managed to secure this signing. Mr. Bia, you are a straightforward person, daring to trust me and directly investing a large sum of money. On the surface, you claimed you were reluctant to invest and wanted me to run the business, to see whether it would lose or earn, but in private, you still had Mr. Ma give me a small portion of the money.

I only found this out when Mr. Ma handed it to me just now.

Mr. Bia sometimes doesn’t know how to express himself, and it’s also because he got cheated when he was younger. Now, he doesn’t dare to boldly go after what he wants. But with me here now, I will certainly not let such things happen. If I’m going to act this time, I’ll make it big and not let others trample over me so easily.

"I see it’s about time now, what are you dazing off for? Almost everyone has left, and they’re all eagerly waiting for you to collect those business cards. You’ve made a name for yourself in one fell swoop. The industry hasn’t even started yet, and you’ve already shown your face on Mr. Ma’s side, not bad, this will be of great help to you in the future."

Kang Yue indeed had a good understanding of the situation and offered this rather fair assessment. Of course, I knew this was the case and nodded, saying,

"Yes, that’s what I think too. But there’s still one thing you need to try hard yourself. Although everyone seems nice now, those ladies can be quite picky sometimes. You have to be a bit more careful when it comes to your hair, hairstyle, and makeup.

If it’s too troublesome for you, then forget it, you’re not lacking in that area. Don’t worry about not having connections; I can draw them for you from here, and you don’t have to worry about your restaurant not being able to open. With me here, you won’t fail."

"Okay, I get it, don’t worry. If they are that picky, why should I bother helping them? I do my best, but if someone is too fussy, I won’t continue serving them, I’m not some kind of maid. I’m here to expand my business, not to serve as their slave," Kang Yue said, her eyes dancing as if to emphasize that there was no way she would put up with being mistreated. I knew about this young lady’s temper and didn’t say anything else.

If she really got angry, she could probably flip all the tables over, not leaving any chance for others to bully this kid; so I just quietly waited in place, not saying anything more.

"But what worries me most right now should be your industry, right? You’ve been doing all these things lately for it to go smoothly, haven’t you? I just feel like you’ve got a lot on your plate, and I’m worried something might just go over."

Kang Yue spoke with concern.

"You don’t need to worry about that; everything else might have a bit of concern. But just look around, how many people are helping me? Wang Xiaocong is cleaning up the aftermath for me, and a bunch of brothers are assisting me. Just focus on getting your own business sorted out."

After a brief chat and exchanging details about tonight’s event, we roughly understood each other’s situations. The rest of the time was spent toasting and exchanging pleasantries; everyone had come to understand the newcomer’s background was not to be trifled with. With such a strong support base, a single misstep could mean disaster.

Previously, no one had noticed this person, and it’s unknown when it started, but now, everyone knew not to offend him; if cooperation was possible, they should quickly join in, hoping to share in the benefits. That was what everyone was thinking.

"Shen Dong, leaving so soon? I was actually planning to invite you for a midnight snack after the banquet, didn’t you say you wanted to have a good chat with me?

It’s not too convenient at this banquet table; the two of us could discuss the future development of the enterprise and other plans in detail. With you here, our group is like a tiger with wings. You have no idea how much profit we’ve made recently."

Mr. Ma, having drunk a bit too much, spoke with a slur, but he was still coherent, remembering he wanted to treat this young brother to a meal. Shen Dong couldn’t help but smile wryly; Mr. Ma was quite adorable when drunk, remembering their previous conversation so clearly. In a moment, he went up to pat Mr. Ma’s shoulder, saying,

"You’re almost drunk, you should head back and rest. I still have things to do. After my project is finished, I’ll definitely treat you to a good drink. If it wasn’t for you this time,

I wouldn’t have been able to sign the deal for this piece of land with Mr. Bia so quickly, it would’ve taken a lot more time. I don’t have much time to spare, so I really must thank you."

Shen Dong knew the ropes of social etiquette well, and when it was time to thank someone, he wouldn’t pretend to forget—it was just a meal, wasn’t it? Mr. Ma was overjoyed to hear these words, finally having a day when he could help Shen Dong. Although he was almost too drunk, this in itself was quite good, and Shen Dong felt briefly relieved.

Mr. Ma didn’t say much more, waved his hand and turned to speak some sweet nothings to his wife. Kang Yue thought it was about time to leave; if she didn’t go now, there would soon be a traffic jam. Seeing the crowd ready to depart, she figured she’d leave first.

"Let’s go. I haven’t drunk much, so I can drive you back. You shouldn’t drive looking like that—I find it quite scary," Kang Yue said, then pulled on the person, hoping to whisk them away quickly and not to linger here.

"What are you talking about? I haven’t drunk much either, and I’m still clear-headed. If you don’t believe me, smell my breath. Just a few small bottles won’t affect me; I can still drive, you can’t steal my thunder, you know." Shen Dong said this, although his head was already a bit fuzzy.
