For a man like Shi Jiangyuan, who had a promising future, if he were to fall into Kang Ying's gentle village, his ending would definitely be even worse than her father's.
Shi Jiangyuan, I'm here to save you!
Liang Ying thought to herself as she was filled with a sense of righteousness.
You rest first. Tomorrow, Shi Jiangyuan will accompany you at home. I will take you guys to play, so I can't stay at home. I have to go to work. Kang Ying said.
Liang Ying, however, noticed that Kang Ying was talking about "our" shopping mall, and recalled that Shi Jiangyuan was also talking about a shopping mall that he worked with others to invest in.
Could it be that this investor and collaborator was Kang Ying?
Her heart sank. If the two of them were to work together to invest in the mall, then the conflict between Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan had just begun.
Ye Zichen didn't think that this woman was so smart that she tied Elder Brother Yuan up in such a way.
Liang Ying blinked and asked, "Did you invest in the mall with Elder Brother Yuan?"
Kang Ying thought for a moment and said, "This shopping mall was established and received a lot of help from Shi Jiangyuan. If not for his help, it wouldn't have been able to operate so smoothly."
Kang Ying's words were vague, and she didn't say if Shi Jiangyuan invested in her because Liang Ying suddenly came. She hadn't asked Shi Jiangyuan and didn't know if he was happy to reveal the business she invested in.
She could tell at a glance that Shi Jiangyuan was on good terms with Zhao Shihong, and Liang Ying could only say it was side by side. Now that the two of them had just gotten to know each other, it was inevitable that they would have deep ties, so they vaguely passed on.
Liang Ying seemed to be deep in thought. Kang Ying took her leave politely.
To Kang Ying, this was just an ordinary night, but to Liang Ying, it was a night that was like overturning rivers and overturning seas, making it impossible for her to sleep in peace.
Compared to the capital, it was much cooler here. He did not even need to turn on the fan to not sweat.
The cool breeze blew gently outside. Liang Ying had her window open and was looking out at the barren land. She wasn't worried about being peeked at.
Although the room was cool, Liang Ying was like flipping pancakes as she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. There were too many things on her mind …
Shi Jiangyuan and Zhao Shihong hadn't met for so long, so they had a lot of topics to talk about. Since Zhao Shihong was such a chatterbox, Shi Jiangyuan went to the fridge to drink a few cans of beer with Zhao Shihong.
After Kang Ying had arranged Liang Ying, she originally wanted to go back to her room to sleep, but when she walked over and saw that each of them was holding a can of beer and drinking the leftovers from the table, she said, "Let's eat."
"I'm going to make two more dishes and get you guys to come down to the bar?"
"Great. "Sorry for the trouble." Zhao Shihong was very happy and felt that Kang Ying was really considerate.
Kang Ying went to the refrigerator and looked around to see if there was anything she could use as a dish.
Luckily, there was still some stock in the fridge. Kang Ying found a bag of sausages and a bag of raw peanuts. So she fried a fragrant peanut and sliced the sausage into a pan of fried oil. These two things were perfect for the wine.
After taking the two new dishes, Shi Jiangyuan picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. As he chewed, he felt satisfied.
When Zhao Shihong saw Shi Jiangyuan's expression, he couldn't help but be stunned. That's right, since when did Elder Brother Yuan become so satisfied with just a peanut? This was truly a rare sight, one that people loved to see.
Zhao Shihong treated Shi Jiangyuan's expression like he was having a meal. He floated for quite a while before turning around to look at Kang Ying. He then called out to her.
"Beautiful girl, you should come over and drink as well."
Kang Ying knew that Zhao Shihong was her family's benefactor and had wanted to express her gratitude ever since he entered the door. However, it wasn't convenient for Liang Ying, so she came happily.
When Kang Ying took it, she only felt the slight coolness in her hand, but it wasn't too cold. She knew that Shi Jiangyuan wanted to take care of her, she once said that she didn't want to drink too cold of something, but Shi Jiangyuan actually remembered it.
Shi Jiangyuan, on the other hand, was different. In the summer, he liked to take out beer from the fridge that was so cold that his tongue was numb.
This was what Kang Ying admired the most about Shi Jiangyuan. He would never force others to follow him just because of his preferences.
Kang Ying opened the top of her beer and said to Zhao Shihong, "Brother Zhao, let me toast you. It is all thanks to you that our Friendship Mall has been activated."
Zhao Shihong quickly waved his hand modestly and said, "You're too kind. This is a simple task. Besides, what's the relationship between me and Elder Brother Yuan? It's my business."
Shi Jiangyuan raised his eyebrows and said to Kang Ying with a smile, "He also has shares in our mall."
"Oh?" It was Kang Ying's first time hearing about this. Shi Jiangyuan didn't tell him about Zhao Shihong's shares.
This was quite normal. For example, if the shares were divided into ten shares, one million, ten shareholders each raised one million, and when the shares were handed over, they would live together, and no one would ask him where the million came from.
Shi Jiangyuan smiled and said, "His orchids were sold just in time. Not only did he stop the loss, he even made a profit. I will let him invest the money to buy shares."
"Yes, yes, I sold it for 15 thousand yuan. Elder Brother Yuan said that it was a shopping mall, so I decided to invest in it. "So you don't have to thank me. Helping you is helping yourself." Zhao Shihong chuckled happily.
Kang Ying suddenly realized something. She picked up the beer can and bumped into Zhao Shihong again. She smiled and said, "Shareholders, it's a pleasure to work together."
Zhao Shihong raised his head and drank most of the beer, but he did not force Kang Ying. Seeing Kang Ying take a sip and put the beer can down, Zhao Shihong said:
"Now that we know each other, we're on the same side from now on."
"Of course!" Kang Ying was also very satisfied with Zhao Shihong's gentleman demeanor.
In their previous life, when they had met her for social meetups, the men had seen that she knew how to drink and couldn't wait to drink a few more cups of her wine. It was truly a male chauvinistic and wicked taste.
Therefore, Kang Ying first gave extra points to a man who didn't want to force others to drink.
Under the moonlight, the three of them were chatting happily while eating peanuts and beer. Zhao Shihong had a good alcohol capacity, one of them drank 7 cans of beer, Shi Jiangyuan drank 2 cans. Kang Ying's can was not finished, the other half was taken by Shi Jiangyuan and said that they couldn't waste it.
Kang Ying felt a little awkward. Luckily, when Zhao Shihong finished his beer, he became a little tipsy and didn't notice Shi Jiangyuan drink the remaining half of Kang Ying's beer without saying a word.
Kang Ying saw Shi Jiangyuan pick up the beer that she drank before bringing it to her mouth and almost yelled at him to stop. There was her saliva on the beer can, so wouldn't Shi Jiangyuan wipe it off? Or pour the beer into a glass and drink it?
However, since Shi Jiangyuan was so nonchalant, it would be even worse if Kang Ying suddenly shouted.
Thus, Kang Ying didn't scream out loud. She just watched Shi Jiangyuan put the beer can to his mouth and drink from the place she just drank.
