Party time.

Aside from a few acquaintances, Su Yehao didn't recognize most of the guests.

He Shaolin, arm in arm with Qiu Yaohuo, came over to greet him. They seemed to be dating, a good match in terms of social status. The combined assets of their families exceeded 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

However, the Su family's wealth far surpassed both of them, already on a different level altogether.

After perfunctory pleasantries, Nong Qingying was surprised that He Shaolin recognized her, even mentioning her "wedding" in Hong Kong.

As the saying goes, "Don't hit a person in the face." To Nong Qingying, this felt like a deliberate attempt to expose her past, leading her to complain to Su Yehao afterward.

After all, their families had some connections.

Su Yehao could only humor Nong Qingying by gossiping about He Shaolin behind her back, nothing more.

In truth, he didn't have much fondness for He Shaofan's cousin. She seemed overly shrewd, with a strong focus on personal gain, and her personality wasn't particularly likable. Compared to Zhao Yi Meng, another young lady also learning business, she fell far short.

Previously, He Shaolin had hoped to use iCQ and tvt to advertise and drive traffic to their instant messaging software.

As rivals in the same industry, without a close relationship, it was odd that Su Yehao even bothered to engage her. If he truly helped, wouldn't it be equivalent to aiding the enemy?

The party was merely a formality, nothing special.

That night, he accompanied Nong Qingying to a pub, ate late-night snacks, flipped through magazines, and decided to spend two or three days at a ski resort in the French Alps, followed by a trip across the Atlantic to ring the bell in New York.

The plane was still in Kyoto, parked at the airport after dropping off Grandpa Tang.

Therefore, early the next morning, Su Yehao and Nong Qingying took a car from Tokyo to Kyoto, heading directly to his maternal grandfather's hotel.

The hotel was called "Togetsutei." The rooms had outdoor circular pools, and the onsen hotel staff wore kimonos and were quite pretty.

Indeed, Grandpa knew how to enjoy life.

Seeing Nong Qingying accompanying his grandson, Grandpa Tang thought the same, asking her a few questions with a smile, mainly about her family and their occupations.

Knowing Nong Qingying cared about her past, Su Yehao helped by saying a few good words, quickly steering the conversation toward the Min Fang Lei bronze vessel.

The owner of the Min Fang Lei was already quite old and not in the best health. Grandpa Tang had taken him out for a high-end teppanyaki dinner the previous night and had agreed that today the vessel would be sold for $5.5 million, with the money deposited into the account of the owner's son, who had immigrated to Los Angeles.

At this moment, Grandpa Tang asked Su Yehao:

"Are you busy today? After the lawyer finalizes the contract, will you accompany me to see the Min Fang Lei this afternoon? I've seen many bronze artifacts, but this one is truly remarkable. It's a pity that the lid is in a museum in mainland China. Sending it back there...I'm a little reluctant, but without the lid, it feels incomplete. Anyway, it's your money, so you can decide what to do with it later. Let me keep it for now and enjoy it for a couple of years."

His reluctance wasn't about the price, but simply the joy of the find. This kind of national treasure-level bronze vessel was exceptionally rare on the market.

Grandpa Tang enjoyed collecting, so he couldn't help but feel conflicted.

Su Yehao didn't mind, only saying:

"After the contract is signed, call my people, and they'll pay for you. It's all arranged. As for that item, let's wait until we get back to Hong Kong to see it; it's not going anywhere. I have to go to France later, or you can stay in Kyoto for a few more days. We'll fly there first, and then arrange a plane to pick you up and take you to Hong Kong?"

"You go ahead with your business. It's been years since I last came to Japan. It's okay to stay a few more days. Keep the private jet for yourself."

Grandpa Tang continued with a smile, "Wandering around, I might even find some antiques I like. Are you going to France for the listing?"

"...The roadshow in Paris has already started. I'm going to find a ski resort and relax for two or three days."

After Su Yehao finished speaking, he himself felt a bit irresponsible. When other companies went public, the bosses were mostly anxious and restless, while he was only thinking about taking a break to enjoy himself.

He met his maternal grandfather briefly, and after arranging the flight path, he immediately set off for the airport.

Along the way, through American Express, he arranged transportation and accommodation at the Megeve ski resort in France, reserving a wooden holiday home with a stunning view from the window.

---------------------

Time flew by, and six days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the Su family's mansion in Big Wave Bay, Hong Kong, a llama unexpectedly gave birth to a baby llama. People previously thought that the mother llama was just fat, never expecting that she was pregnant.

So, the birth of the baby llama was a pleasant surprise.

With Hao Ge not at home, Xiao Nizi, as the hostess, felt that even the spacious house was quite dull.

So she coaxed Madam Nangong to come to Hong Kong to dine and shop with her, barely managing to repair their mother-daughter relationship, so that her mother wouldn't constantly complain that she didn't spend time with her, and that she was practically already married off.

Regarding Su Yehao's funding of Nangong Tian to establish an entertainment company, Madam Nangong only felt that he was thoughtful.

Whether the feelings between a man and a woman were genuine could be seen from this kind of thing. If it were just a casual relationship, why would he put so much effort into it?

He gifted her a Maldivian island, diamonds, stocks, and now he had invested hundreds of millions in operating a new company.

Unexpectedly, she gained a wave of goodwill from her mother-in-law.

To the point that Madam Nangong turned a blind eye to the flaws of Su Yehao not being at home to accompany Xiao Nizi, or the constant rumors about him, never interfering in front of her daughter.

Sweet Fish Entertainment was still in preparation. The initial staff recruitment was almost complete, and the first batch of more than 30 trainees was scheduled to begin closed training from mid-April, preparing to form a boy group and a girl group respectively.

Xiao Nizi wasn't busy today, so she sat cross-legged on the carpet, eating fruit and checking the computer.

Her mother leaned in to take a look, and the screen showed the stock price of Emoji Group. It was morning in Hong Kong, but New York had already closed.

Madam Nangong exclaimed softly, asking, "This is Xiao Hao's company, right? Has it gone public already? I thought it was going to be listed tonight, 11.66...is that good?"

"Of course it's a big jump! It's amazing, okay? The opening price was nine dollars, and it rose 29.5% on the first day, with a total market value of nearly six billion dollars. Hao Ge is really rich this time!"

Xiao Nizi excitedly found this morning's news and handed the laptop to her mother to read.

"Six billion US dollars, that's so much money? How much stock does Xiao Hao own?"

Madam Nangong asked in surprise. Last night, she had been drinking and playing mahjong with friends, and she had fallen asleep at the Shek O Country Club after a spa, only returning this morning.

As for Xiao Nizi, she had stayed by the computer last night and had already sent a message to Su Yehao at the first moment, congratulating him.

At this moment, Nangong Tian thought for a moment, then shook her head, saying, "I'm not too sure. Hao Ge should own more than four billion dollars worth of stock. When he returns to Hong Kong, we'll go out for dinner. We must celebrate this time..."
