“It’s fine.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan held Yang Liu’s arm. “There’s no rush. But next time, don’t spend so casually. The economy isn’t doing too well right now. The housekeepers said that many gyms had just charged their customers before the boss ran away, causing the customers to lose their money.”

Before she transmigrated, she had more or less encountered or heard about these things. Topping up her membership card to be used in a shop only to have them close down. How was that right?

Yang Liu also regretted it. “I won’t top it up anymore. Last time, I was too gullible and thought that the manicure design was very nice. In addition, the salesperson kept persuading me, so I topped up 1000 yuan on impulse. In the end, before I could claim it, the shop moved. I heard that the two bosses had a disagreement, and one of them wanted to reclaim their investment. But Boss Wu is still pretty nice. He said that he would continue doing it for me. He’s quite honest.”

“That’s good. As long as it’s not a loss.” Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled and said, “Then let’s do the manicure next time.”

The two of them strolled in the supermarket for a while and then went to the women’s clothing shop in the mall for more than an hour. Both of them ended up buying a lot of things.

After finding a barbecue shop and sitting down, the two of them chatted while barbecuing. Xiang Xiaoyuan recalled the charity banquet that Lu Wanggui had mentioned before and asked, “Yang Liu, do you know about Shengkong Group?”

Lu Wanggui had mentioned this banquet several times. She guessed that the charity banquet held by Shengkong Group should be very important. At that time, she had wanted to search for some information on the Internet, but she couldn’t find any.

Yang Liu flipped the pork belly and thought for a while, “Shengkong Group? I know a little about this. I have an older sister who used to work there. Why?”

“Lu Bei’s father asked me to accompany him to attend a charity banquet organized by them. I don’t know much about these things, so I wanted to do my homework in advance to avoid making a fool of myself.”

“Unfortunately, my sister is overseas for business, so it’s not good to disturb her. If she was in China, I could ask her out for a chat.” Yang Liu thought for a moment. “But I heard from my sister that Shengkong Group has many disputes. The chairman has two children. A girl and a boy. Originally, the brother was supposed to be the heir, but he seemed to have some kind of hereditary disease and passed away a few years ago. Now, the sister is in charge. My sister said that her brother is a very good person. He is smart and capable, the kind that we’d call a prodigy. It was a pity to hear about his death.”

“In fact, there were rumors before that the relationship between the siblings was not very good. Some people said that the sister was behind the brother’s death, but there is no evidence for this. No one can say whether it is true or not.”

“Is that so…” Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed. “Maybe wealthy families are like this. They are complicated and don’t care about their family when it comes to money.”

She couldn’t help but feel lucky. Fortunately, the Lu family was peaceful and had few family members. Lu Wanggui was addicted to work, and Lu Bei wanted to be independent, so they got along quite well.

She had originally thought of networking with the rich ladies and adding them on Wechat to expand her client base. Now that she heard Yang Liu say this, she felt that it was better to forget about it.

Some money was not meant to be earned, and the connections around Lu Wanggui were not something she could control.

If she was accidentally used by others and got involved in some conflict, that would be too bad.

The two had a fun date. They shopped, bought exquisite accessories, ate delicious barbecued meat, and lined up to buy milk tea. Finally, when Xiang Xiaoyuan sent Yang Liu home, she lamented, “It’s fun to hang out with you.”

Yang Liu laughed, “Why? Aren’t you happy when you hang out with Lu Bei’s father?”

“It’s just not as interesting as hanging out with you.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan shrugged, “You know that he’s very busy. Let me tell you a secret, it’s extremely difficult for rich people to even get off work on time!”

“Is he that busy?”

“That’s right. That’s why I’ve never gone on a date with him.” Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled, “But this is also good. If he really comes shopping with me and watches a movie, I won’t be able to stop myself from calculating how much money he’d have lost during that time.”

For a busy person like Lu Wanggui, time was calculated by the second. Every minute and second was money.

Delaying his time was a waste of money.. Xiang Xiaoyuan’s heart would ache.
