He took off his coat.

Su Yehao washed his hands and helped Yin Liuli make dumplings.

He hiccuped, with a hint of scrambled eggs with chives. He'd been eating home-style dishes tonight, having grown tired of rich, heavy meals for several days in a row.

Yin Liuli asked, "Are you full? Do you want to try my dumplings? Who did you have dinner with tonight? Why did you suddenly come here?"

"My dad, Second Aunt, and some of their friends."

Su Yehao answered calmly, not mentioning Jiang Yu at all.

He continued, "I was afraid you'd be bored at home, so of course I want to spend more time with you. How about going to California with me for ten or fifteen days?"

Without hesitation, Yin Liuli nodded, "Sure, I don't have much to do lately. Are you going to America on business?"

"Yeah, mainly for the company's IPO. I also wanted to acquire a wafer foundry and a computer manufacturing company, but after asking around, I found that the valuations are generally quite high. Anyway, there's no rush. Let's wait until this bull market ends. By then, I should have more money, and I'll sell off my marketable financial assets."

While speaking, Su Yehao made a dumpling.

The shape wasn't nearly as exquisite as the ones Yin Liuli made, but they tasted about the same. He made do and started on the next one.

He changed the subject, asking, "Why are you making dumplings by yourself? Where's the housekeeper I hired for you?"

"It's almost the New Year, and she wanted to go home to see her daughter, so I gave her a few days off. It's clean everywhere anyway, and there's no need to clean every day. If the housekeeper does everything, I'll have nothing to do. Dumplings made by myself like this taste the best."

After hearing Yin Liuli's explanation,

Su Yehao realized she seemed bored lately, so he suggested:

"Have you thought about changing jobs? For example, you could help out at my hotel management company in Hong Kong. It's closer to me, and it would be easier to see you. Or you could find another project, and I'll invest the money while you manage it. You can leave the work at the small building near the Ruins of St. Paul's to the store manager, so you don't have to show your face all day and keep getting annoyed by troublesome customers."

"...Let's talk about it later. Help me put this plate of dumplings in the refrigerator first."

Yin Liuli was restless.

Although she wanted to do something, she hadn't found a new goal yet.

Su Yehao didn't want her to be idle all day, as boredom would set in. He jokingly said he'd invest in a casino and let her be the boss, in charge of keeping order.

Imagining herself as a big shot, Yin Liuli couldn't help but laugh, only saying that she would consider it recently. If she really couldn't find anything she wanted to do, she would help out at Su Yehao's hotel management group.

Among the girls by his side,

only Nong Qingying's career was thriving. Jiang Yu and Nangong Tian were in college and might continue their studies.

As for Yin Liuli, she had been guarding the small building near the Ruins of St. Paul's for almost two years, and her career had remained almost unchanged.

In fact, the work wasn't busy, but it was mentally exhausting.

Whether it was the Western restaurant on the first floor, the cat café on the second floor, or the small bar on the third floor, they were all service industries. They often encountered unreasonable and annoying customers, which inevitably led to a constant accumulation of negative emotions over time.

Even with her homebody personality, she was slowly becoming weary and wanted to find something else to do...

Around nine o'clock in the evening,

Su Yehao personally cooked ten dumplings for Yin Liuli.

By the time he tasted them and put them on a plate for Yin Liuli, there were only seven left. The taste was indeed very good.

After a late-night snack, they drew a bath.

When renovating this villa, Su Yehao had specially customized a round massage bathtub. Today was the first time he used it. The strong current of water hitting his waist and back was quite comfortable.

Bubbles floated on the water, filled with the scent of milk.

There were also some dried rose petals scattered around. It was easy to guess that this was Yin Liuli's doing, as he wasn't so particular.

At this moment,

the two of them sat facing each other.

Su Yehao suddenly thought of something and said to Yin Liuli, "If you don't want to travel far, then stay in Casino, and help me manage the charity business of my family trust, how about that?"

"Then... what can I do to help you?"

Yin Liuli was slightly troubled, feeling inadequate and looking like she was being forced to do something she wasn't capable of.

Su Yehao continued, saying:

"It's simple, just keep an eye on things for me, such as donating to orphanages, building schools in the mainland, and protecting endangered animals. You'll be responsible for ensuring that the funds are used properly, instead of being embezzled privately through collusion. This job is quite meaningful, and I think it suits you."

Looking at Su Yehao, Yin Liuli asked curiously, "Your family actually has a special charity business? Does that mean you donate a lot of money every year?"

"Scattered here and there, it's indeed quite a bit. Anyway, as long as you're in charge, I'll definitely find something for you to do..."

When a business reaches a certain level, it's not just wealth that determines its strength.

Dedicating a portion of profits to high-profile charitable causes is also a form of intangible investment, which can bring both reputation and a sense of self-worth.

Last year, when the north was hit by floods, Su Yehao donated 15 million Hong Kong dollars in the name of tAt. His father also donated 10 million Hong Kong dollars in the name of Sihai International, and provided about 10 million Hong Kong dollars worth of relief supplies, helping many homeless victims.

The family trust under Su Yehao's name was only established last year. Its assets mainly consist of Sihai International Group shares and Hong Kong Earl Medical Group shares. The amount of cash available is limited, so charitable work has only just begun.

Although the fundamental purpose of establishing a family charitable trust fund is to achieve the inheritance of wealth, it has fortunately also done a lot of practical things, such as sending supplies to nursing homes and providing scholarships to poor students.

Since it's a family trust, of course it has to be managed by someone you can trust, so Su Yehao took the opportunity to recommend Yin Liuli to join.

After considering it, Yin Liuli agreed to give it a try first.

The next morning,

Su Yehao returned to the Su family mansion and found the living room filled with all kinds of gifts, all sent by people for the New Year.

As the saying goes, the poor are ignored in the bustling city, while the rich have distant relatives in the remote mountains. With the Su family's current situation, which is on the rise, of course people will take advantage of the festival to come and visit in person, and try to get close.

With Su's father's temper, he will definitely accept the gifts, but whether he is willing to help is another matter.

Looking through a pile of gifts, he indeed saw a box of fine dried longan. It had been a long time since Su Yehao had eaten this stuff. He directly gave it to the servants at home and asked them to help stew a bowl of rock sugar longan egg soup.

When Second Aunt saw him come back, she specially wrapped a red envelope with 10,000 yuan and said to Su Yehao when handing it to him, "Here, I know you don't lack pocket money, but you must accept this New Year's money for good luck."

"Of course I want New Year's money." Su Yehao decisively accepted the money and casually stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

"Xiaohao, I found out last night, are you and Jiang Yu together?"

Second Aunt said with a gossipy face and a smile:

"Don't think about lying to me, I've been there. Jiang Yu usually calls me godmother, you have to treat her well, otherwise I won't have the face to meet her in the future. Who says rabbits don't eat grass near their own burrows, look at you, you're eating it very deliciously, the Nangong girl is the same..."
