Zhang Yu returned to her post, still thinking about what Ye Zhuo said—what did he an by saying the Jiang Family would soon be unable to keep an eye on her?
It’s definitely not that the Jiang Family wouldn’t keep an eye on a small fry like her, but rather that the Jiang Family was about to encounter so troubles.
Zhang Yu pondered for a long ti and couldn’t recall how much trouble the Jiang Family was facing. Forget it, even in the information age, so things are still hard to trace.
Anyway, now that this matter was out in the open, Zhang Yu planned to enter the stock market and try her hand at it.
She wanted to double her more than ten million, work diligently at the company for a few years, and buy a house in full.
Yes, that’s right, in full, forget about loans.
When Zhao Kang and the others saw Zhang Yu return, it was right at lunchti, "Want to go out for a al together?"
Zhang Yu responded with an "oh" and, after tidying herself up, went out to eat with her colleagues.
On the way, Zhao Kang asked Zhang Yu about the eting she attended. Upon learning it was just an investnt briefing, he was stunned.
"Why would they let you attend sothing like this?" Zhao Kang was dumbfounded. Normally, such matters would be for mid-level managers, so why was Zhang Yu involved?
The other colleagues were also surprised, not understanding why it was Zhang Yu who went.
Zhang Yu didn’t understand either and hesitated, "I still have to write an analysis report."
"Maybe it’s to train ?" Zhang Yu was clueless as to why she, a minor figure, was involved in such matters.
Upon hearing she had to attend an investnt eting and also write a report, any colleagues who were initially a bit envious imdiately lost any jealousy.
They were already overwheld with work, and if they had to write sothing like this, they estimated they’d be busy to death over the weekend.
"Do you have to work overti this weekend?" Zhao Kang looked at Zhang Yu with pity.
"Yes." Zhang Yu sighed helplessly, "The report needs to be submitted to the boss before I leave work on Friday."
Everyone exclaid again, "So rushed?"
Zhang Yu spread her hands helplessly, "It’s the boss’s order."
Alright, everyone present knew Ye Zhuo’s work attitude and realized he’d indeed do sothing like that.
"Good luck, you can do it."
"Good luck."
Besides offering Zhang Yu encouragent, the only thing they could do was let her eat more, "Eat more."
"Yes, you still have to work overti tonight." Their workload was already imnse, and now there was another task.
"By the way, is it difficult?" one person asked curiously, noticing Zhang Yu didn’t seem too bothered.
"It’s a bit challenging, and the deadline is tight, but I’ve had so exposure to it before." Zhang Yu indulgently ate more; the braised pork here was really delicious, not to be missed.
Exposure before? Everyone couldn’t help but pause, wondering how Zhang Yu might have encountered it.
Could it be similar to projects they had worked on before, or was the principle sowhat the sa?
"I previously attended a similar investnt conference with my professor." Zhang Yu briefly explained.
Everyone suddenly rembered her professor was Professor Ouyang, who, although teaching at a university, was a very busy individual, often consulted by many wealthy people.
Thinking of it this way, it was indeed quite normal that she would attend such investnt conferences with Zhang Yu.
With this thought, everyone couldn’t help but feel discouraged. They had all gone through university and graduate school, so from prestigious universities, helping ntors with projects.
But even with renowned ntors, comparing them revealed a substantial gap.
"Have you done a similar report before?" At this point, Zhao Kang, living up to expectations, asked the question everyone was curious about.
Zhang Yu shook her head, "No, I just listened in a bit, and on our way back, the professor said that the project was not promising."
"Ah, not promising?" Imdiately, everyone could predict that Zhang Yu would likely disapprove in her report this ti.
"Yes, the investnt conference I attended today, while the project seems improved in many ways, it’s just a new package with the sa content; the most crucial aspects remain unchanged."
Though so minor details were altered, the most critical parts hadn’t changed at all. How could Zhang Yu view the project favorably?
Everyone let out an "oh," realizing this, and then probably continued their al, joined by so casual chat to relax a bit.
As they chatted, the topic turned to weekend plans, "Zhang Yu, what are you doing this weekend?"
Zhang Yu had earlier overheard the plans—either attending exhibitions, going to museums, or taking a walk nearby to relax a bit.
"As for , I’ll sleep in. I’m used to getting up early every day, then staying up late at night, not getting enough sleep."
"Then maybe walk a bit nearby." Indeed, Zhang Yu’s weekends were spent just like this. Attending concerts or exhibitions was really out of reach for her.
Weren’t the others just as tired? They were, but after hearing their colleagues’ varied activities, they couldn’t just say they rested at ho over the weekend; they had to ntion occasional activities.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu candidly admitted she rested at ho on weekends, stunning everyone present.
"Sounds good." Soone awkwardly comnted, having to change the topic.
The conversation couldn’t continue, so everyone thought of changing it, "The New Year is approaching soon. I wonder if we can take an early holiday this ti."
As working people, they looked forward to the Spring Festival, especially those working away from ho who wished to return and be with family and parents.
So planned to travel during the Spring Festival, as it was a ti to truly relax, with clients unlikely to be in touch.
"I plan to accompany my parents." Zhang Yu shared her New Year plan, "If ti permits, take them to a nearby hot spring to relax a bit."
A trip aid at relaxation, finding a place to enjoy good food and rest, recharging well would ensure better work after the holiday.
Everyone agreed, "Yes, but the Spring Festival is also busy, with many relatives to visit." Zhao Kang felt overwheld thinking about the upcoming festival.
"Exactly, you have to visit relatives, otherwise they’ll say you’re working in a big city and looking down on them."
Everyone could deeply relate, looking at each other, realizing they all had similar relatives—it was exhausting.
Exhausting? Zhang Yu looked at her colleagues’ pained expressions, "Besides visiting relatives, have you thought about being pressured to have children."
For people their age, although still a bit away from 30, they were considered marriage-challenged by their elders.
Everyone sighed deeply again, "Yes, every ti I go back, they ask when I’ll get married."
" too. We’re busy; where’s the ti to date?"
Others might have office romances, but it wasn’t suitable for them. With their busy work schedules, the ho beca just a place to sleep.
"And after marriage cos the pressure to have children," Zhang Yu comnted.
Well, with those words, many people sighed again, "Buying a house in City S is not easy."
In City S, a desirable house starts at least at two million; if you want a neighborhood with a good environnt and affordable price, it’s far from the city center.
If you want to live downtown while considering price, it’s just old, worn, and small—tough indeed.
