Chapter 1 The Golden Shorthair cat that Yin Liuli brought back to the apartment was named "koko."

Putting aside whether it was a nice name, Su Yehao suddenly wanted to drink milk tea.

Early in the morning.

Holding this docile, lazy fat cat, Su Yehao sat at the dining table, stroking the cat while waiting for breakfast.

In the kitchen, Yin Liuli put on an apron.

She was busy frying eggs, humming a song.

Then, she put on disposable gloves and started to serve rice and make rice balls, filled with shrimp, pickled vegetables, and ham.

Judging by her skill, it was clearly not her first time making them.

She was meticulous about the shape, making them almost triangular, wrapped in seaweed.

The rice was piping hot, so she had to be quick, placing the finished rice balls on a plate, alongside cherry tomatoes and sliced bananas.

She had been in the apartment for a few days now.

Everything was neat and tidy, and clean, showing that she knew how to live well and had a touch of refinement.

Her life hadn't been too good before, but now she had a fresh start. Yin Liuli was gradually adapting, and her mood was much more relaxed than when they first met.

Su Yehao put down the fat cat, went to the kitchen, hugged her, and said with a smile, "You make different breakfasts every day, you're going to steal my stomach and my heart."

Just some casual flirting.

Hearing this, Yin Liuli smiled happily and replied, "Don't make fun of me. Your family has maids. They must cook better, right?"

"It's not the same. No matter how good the soup is that the old aunt at home makes, it's still missing something compared to your breakfast made with love."

He picked up a cherry tomato and popped it into his mouth.

Su Yehao glanced down and saw that she hadn't changed out of her yoga pants yet.

A woman who could wear yoga pants and a sports vest with such style, and who could easily do the splits, was a formidable person. It required too much of her figure, from eating and drinking to exercise, everything was essential.

Flattery will get you everywhere.

Yin Liuli rolled her eyes at him, but she was smiling. She said, "Okay, go pour the milk, it's in the refrigerator! Find a name when you have time. The signs for the cafe and restaurant really need to be made soon, or we won't be able to open next month."

"...How about calling the restaurant koko? It's easy to remember and easy to read. You can come up with a name for the cat cafe on the second floor. It should be fun. You're the one managing it from start to finish, so I want you to feel involved."

"Then I'll go to the bookstore today. Maybe I can find some inspiration."

Yin Liuli went on to say, "The workers will be there today to put up a partition to separate the stairs leading to the second floor, so they won't disturb the restaurant guests when they go up and down. Do you want to try the milk tea today?"

Whoa!

That was telepathy.

Su Yehao had just been thinking about milk tea.

Considering that there was a tradition of afternoon tea in Hong Kong, which had long influenced Casino, it was not strange to sell milk tea in a cafe.

Su Yehao said, "I have something to do during the day, so I'll go in the evening. Find some dessert shops that we can work with in the long term. We can also add pudding, red beans, tapioca, and so on to the milk tea. I've even thought of a name, Milk Tea Trio."

"Then can there be Four Brothers? Five Brothers?"

"Of course. Recently, send people around to collect as many milk tea and beverage recipes as possible. The shop can also sell fruit salads, shaved ice, and so on. The menu should be a little richer and higher-end..."

The small building was being prepared for opening.

Recently, whenever they met, they would talk about these topics, enriching the business ideas bit by bit.

At that time, Su Yehao just wanted to find something to do to keep Yin Liuli by his side. Now he realized that this move was right. They were obviously much closer, and she didn't lack things to do.

When a woman was idle, she was prone to overthinking and worrying about gains and losses.

Since she started managing the business, their relationship had been much more solid... This successful experience was worth replicating!

There weren't that many predestined relationships. You had to create opportunities yourself.

He drove Yin Liuli to the small building near the Ruins of St. Paul's commercial street, suggesting that she get a driver's license, with expenses reimbursed and a company car provided.

On the way to school.

Su Yehao began to seriously consider how to tie Nong Qingying to his side as well, to play matchmaker for himself.

That woman was bored to death recently. She had no friends, no career, and Casino was too small, with not many places to play.

Last time they watched a movie, she was even thinking about traveling to Europe, and she might really fly away.

He had no clue for the time being.

One hand couldn't clap. He still had to ask Nong Qingying for her opinion first. Maybe they could start another business together.

Not long after this idea was generated, Su Yehao slowly figured out the taste. He was usually too lazy to move, but when he met a girl, he got excited... Could it be that the motivation for his struggle was for pretty girls?

He was very unwilling to admit that he had no great ambition.

He was going down the wrong path, but it was barely a good thing. At least he had a goal, a pursuit, and hope, so he wouldn't completely lie down...

————————————————

He listened attentively in class in the morning.

Out of safety considerations, Su Yehao mentioned the matter of finding a bodyguard to Gummy.

Gummy had a large family and many trustworthy siblings, so when he had the opportunity to earn extra money, he immediately patted his chest and promised to go home and talk about it, and he could give a reply in the evening.

When he learned that only two or three people were needed, Gummy was a little disappointed.

He urged Su Yehao to say that the Su family was so rich that they were easily targeted, so it would be better to find twenty or thirty people to follow him all day long, so that he would have a presence when he went out, and they could work in shifts day and night.

Su Yehao always felt that he wanted to ask him to help support idlers, but he had no evidence.

During lunch with Nangong Tian, he received a call from his old man, saying that he should take time to go back to the company, as there was serious business to discuss.

Since his father had said so, Su Yehao decisively chose to listen and skip class.

The after-effects of the *Xin Lian Zaobao* article were still there. He thought that his old man had found a good project from it, but when he arrived at the Sihai International headquarters building, he realized after meeting that it was actually the son of an acquaintance who had come to visit, also to seek investment.

…

The visitor's name was Qiu Yaohe.

He was twenty-seven years old, looked energetic, was neatly dressed in a suit, and was not tall, so he couldn't be considered handsome.

Qiu Yaohe's father was Su's old friend, the small shareholder of Casino Lisboa, the wealthy businessman Qiu Wanfeng with a mole on his face.

The Qiu family and the Tang family were family friends, and their relationship could be traced back to the Republic of China. Su's father-in-law was also because of this that he became friends with Qiu Yaohe's father.

Because he had been caught at Casino Lisboa, this dark history, although it only had a half-cent relationship with Su Yehao, still made him feel uneasy. He glanced at his old man, who was indeed smiling meaningfully.

He coughed dryly, and they greeted each other.

Su's father smiled and said, "There are a few years between you two, but you are of the same generation. Our two families have a good relationship, so you should interact more. Son, your older brother is amazing. He is a Cambridge graduate with rich entrepreneurial experience. He failed to form a team to develop a new drug last time, but this time he found a good project! I listened to it, and I was very excited!"

Su Yehao shook hands with Qiu Yaohe. He could see that this "older brother" seemed to have a good temper and looked simple and unassuming, and was relatively humble.

Last time, he tried to invest in the research and development of new drugs, and eventually lost 300 million.

It didn't matter.

Qiu Yaohe tried again and again, and had already come out of the shadows. At this time, he continued to persuade Su's father:

"Uncle, the communications industry in the mainland is not as developed as ours. Many people can't afford mobile phones, so the market prospect is very big. My dad has already promised to give me 300 million Hong Kong dollars this time. With this money as start-up capital, I will strive for policy support. In addition, I have already negotiated with the Bird company to win the entire South China and East China agency rights at once, and I guarantee that I can seize the pager market!"

At first, Su Yehao listened carefully, thinking that they were talking about mobile phones, and his eyes lit up.

But when he suddenly heard that it was a pager, his eyes suddenly darkened.

Qiu Yaohe's attention was only on Su's father, and he continued to focus:

"I have done detailed market research. In the past, they were all imported Motorola, Panasonic and other brands, which were expensive and had few users, and they were in English."

"Now Bird has developed a Chinese character version of the machine, and the price is much cheaper, so many people can afford it, and the market prospect is broad!"

"I promise to purchase 1.5 million Bird machines in two years. I will definitely be able to win the agency rights for the two major regions. Judging from the user base, it can be easily digested. If I add 400,000 more units, I can even win the agency rights for North China together. This is definitely a good project!"

"Now there is a funding gap of about 200 million, which will be used for initial purchases and integration of sales channels. If you are interested, Uncle, we can divide the equity according to the proportion of investment, and I will manage it for you..."

When he heard that he wanted to hoard 1.5 million units, or even 1.9 million units.

He even had the audacity to ask his old man for a full 200 million!

Su Yehao's eyes darkened even more!

Thinking that he had finally sold off the Hong Kong real estate and cashed out to avoid a big pit, where did this guy come from!?

Last time, he chose a project to develop new drugs, but this time he was eyeing the pager, which was a transitional product.

However, this Young Master Qiu was so serious and confident when introducing the project...

Damn it, he's simply a mudslide in the investment world!
