After getting in the car.
Xie Yizun glanced around the car’s interior and said to Shi Wangyue beside him, "Bro, your car is pretty nice."
As a boy, there’s no way he wouldn’t like cars, and Xie Yizun was no exception.
"Once you turn 18, I’ll give you one," Shi Wangyue said casually, hands resting lightly on his abdomen.
"Your car is nice, but it doesn’t really suit me," Xie Yizun shook his head, "I’ll definitely need a van in the future."
"A van?" Shi Wangyue raised his brow, "You want to be a celebrity?"
"Yes," Xie Yizun said seriously, "My dream is to be a star!"
——"I want to be the most famous star in China, hopefully famous worldwide!"
Shi Wangyue nodded knowingly and said, "Then work hard. Once you become a star, I’ll give you a van of the same brand."
Xie Yizun grinned widely!
He gave Shi Wangyue a thumbs-up, "Brother-in-law, I think you’re really something!"
The same brand van, Xie Yizun knew, the one his mom used, costs at least eight figures!
That "brother-in-law" came straight from Xie Yizun’s heart.
"What else do you like?" Shi Wangyue asked with a smile, "I can give them to you."
"I’ve got some!" Xie Yizun rattled off several items in succession.
Each item was expensive and not very practical, things his mom didn’t buy him.
The driver, Old Nie, who silently drove in the front, felt his heart skip a beat every time Young Master Xie mentioned something—so extravagant!
...
After bringing Xie Yizun to the company, Shi Wangyue told Youyou, who entered the company at the same time, "Youyou, take him to have some breakfast, and bring me a portion too."
Youyou said, "Okay."
He was about to take Xie Yizun to breakfast when he found that in just a few minutes, the female colleagues who had gradually arrived at work had surrounded him.
"Do you drink milk, little brother?"
"I do, thank you, sister."
"Here’s some beef jerky!"
"Wow! This beef jerky is delicious, I really like it!"
"Do you like spicy strips and dried tofu?"
"Of course, I love these!"
"Little brother, your skin is so nice and fair!"
"Thank you, sister, your skin is nice too ~"
"This drink is good, give it a try."
"Thank you."
The boy, arms full of snacks with more piling up, was charming the tough ladies in the company one by one.
"..."
Youyou realized that the boss’s "little brother-in-law" probably didn’t need to go out for breakfast.
He thought wistfully, "Pretty people are adored everywhere."
Even though the boss’s little brother-in-law is still a kid.
He couldn’t deny, the boss’s little brother-in-law was really good-looking, somewhat resembling Miss Ning, mostly inherited from their mother—the actress Xia Youqing.
Such exquisite features, and fair skin.
Yet their temperaments were quite different.
Miss Ning looks delicate and ethereal, while the little brother-in-law is stunningly attractive.
Luckily, the remaining baby fat on his face made his looks less aggressive.
Otherwise, who knows how many girls in the company would go crazy today!
He could foresee that when this little brother-in-law grows up, he’d be quite the charmer.
...
"Youyou."
The female colleagues from the "Starlight Investment Fund Company," who were enchanted by the good looks, finally noticed Youyou standing by, observing quietly with a slightly complex expression.
After saying hello to him, they reluctantly returned to their desks.
"Youyou," Xie Yizun also greeted politely, "I have a lot of snacks here, want some?"
After declining, Youyou said, "The boss asked me to take you out for breakfast. What do you want to eat?"
"No need to bother, I’ll just eat these." Xie Yizun said with a bright smile.
[I thought so too.] Youyou thought to himself, but he asked, "Isn’t it not very nutritious?"
"I’ll just have my brother take me for a good meal at lunch." Xie Yizun planned thoughtfully.
"Alright," Youyou said, "then I’ll go get coffee and a sandwich for the boss. Do you want anything to drink?"
"No need," Xie Yizun said, "I’ve got plenty to drink."
He motioned for Youyou to look at the pile of juice, coffee, and fruit tea in his arms.
Seeing all those drinks in his arms, Youyou decisively went downstairs.
...
In Shi Wangyue’s office.
Xie Yizun held a bag of chips, munching away while looking at the collection of curious items on his bookshelf.
"Bro, why do you have so many fun things here? Do you like figures too?"
"Many of these are products our company invested in," Shi Wangyue replied casually.
"Are all these?" Xie Yizun was amazed, "Bro, your company sounds pretty cool, eh."
Shi Wangyue chuckled, "What’s cool about investing?"
"With so many fun things on the market, all funded by your company, isn’t that cool?" Xie Yizun said, "Isn’t your work fun?"
Shi Wangyue shook his head, "It sounds cool on the surface, but like any industry, doing investment well takes decades of honing."
Xie Yizun pondered, "Don’t you just invest in promising companies and give them money?"
"You’re not wrong," Shi Wangyue tapped the desk, "but for a hot startup, besides money, we need to offer them resources beyond that."
"Oh," Xie Yizun continued munching chips, "I don’t understand this."
"It’s normal not to understand now, you might understand later," Shi Wangyue said.
"Really?" Xie Yizun said, "Sounds troublesome. I don’t want to think about it, I just want to be a star, other stuff can be handled by others."
"If you can be a good star, certainly other things can be handled by others," Shi Wangyue said, "provided you can be a good star."
"Bro, what do you think makes a good star?" Xie Yizun asked curiously.
"I’m not a star, I don’t know," Shi Wangyue said, "maybe Aunt Xia can give you some advice?"
"Oh, forget it, I don’t even want to ask her!" Xie Yizun dismissed with distaste, "She won’t tell me such things, she’ll just tell me to study well."
Shi Wangyue smiled slightly, "I think being a star and our industry are similar in that you have to be worth investing time and resources in, essentially, ’star’ work and a startup’s quest for investment share the same basic logic." 1314
