Chapter 2826 Not one can be missing!
Lin Qile was somewhat confused by Wang Yue's words and asked, "What do you mean by 'not deciding yet'? But wasn't the math-based admission already decided?"

Wang Yue was truly exasperated by Lin Qile's overly enthusiastic nature, and could only pat Lin Qile's head to comfort him, "Cherry, do you think that with Jiang Qiaoxi's grades, even without being recommended for admission, he could get into Tsinghua University?"

Lin Qile then realized what was happening and excitedly said to Cen Xiaoman, who had followed her, "Xiaoman, I think you can talk to Jiang Qiaoxi. Anyway, he'll definitely get into Tsinghua University, so there's no rush about his major. If he really likes math, I can apply to the math department later. With his experience in the math Olympiad, he'll still be given special attention after he gets into the math department."

Cen Xiaoman thought it made a lot of sense, so she went to Jiang Qiaoxi and told him about Wang Yue's idea.

Jiang Qiaoxi thought it made a lot of sense, so he gave up his guaranteed admission and prepared to take the college entrance examination next year.

After letting go of his burdens, Jiang Qiaoxi became much more cheerful, and his previous depression was swept away.

So in the days that followed, they resumed their routine of being eight people together, playing ball together, and studying together, and the days passed quickly.

Their restaurant, named "Not One Less," has gained a reputation after several months of development, becoming a popular spot for group meals and team building activities thanks to its delicious food and unique cuisine.

Originally, Du's mother's cooking skills were not this high. She was just more sensitive to the taste of the food and had a more precise control over the ingredients, which is why her cooking was the best among all the parents.

However, through Wang Yue's continuous investment of secret recipes, and by having Du's mother learn and introduce these dishes one by one, the restaurant's menu became increasingly diverse, and the restaurant began to make money.

Only then did Du's mother finally feel relieved. However, she was too busy to handle everything, and the restaurant's private rooms were simply not enough. Occasionally, some customers with bad tempers would appear, forcing Wang Yuelin and Qi Le to temporarily give up their private room.

Everyone else was very happy about this situation, but no further plans were made.

Wang Yue, however, decisively launched a central kitchen strategy, which is essentially a pre-prepared food strategy, and at the same time began to open branch stores.

All that's needed is for Mrs. Du to prepare the meals here and transport them to the branch for reheating; there's no need to hire any other chefs. The funds they raised earlier, which they hadn't used up after opening one restaurant, were then used to open the branch.

Lin Qile, Yu Qiao, and the other children listened to Wang Yue in everything, so they didn't object to Wang Yue's decisions at all. They continued to study and play as usual.

However, the parents who were paying attention to this matter were a little worried. They were not worried about the money, but they were worried that if the business was not good, it would affect their children's mood, and then it would affect their studies.

Among these people, the most worried was Du's mother. Because she was so busy, she even stayed in a hotel, afraid of letting her children down.

It was precisely for this reason that Mrs. Du no longer needed to live with Mr. Duchamp, and thus became more free and at ease.

Mr. Du was a proud man, and there was nothing he could do if Mrs. Du didn't come home. He could only helplessly spend his days alone at home, and suddenly he began to panic.

It's understandable that Mr. Du is panicking. He's getting old, and his son is clearly very dissatisfied with him because of the domestic violence he suffered. If Mr. Du were to divorce his wife, his son would definitely not stay with him, and then he would be filled with despair.

So, in order to perform better, Mr. Du even stopped drinking alcohol and went to the restaurant every day to try to help out.

The problem now is that Wang Yue has just launched a central kitchen strategy, so although Mrs. Du is extremely busy, no one else can help her at all. Under these circumstances, Mr. Du has also become more cautious and no longer dares to lose his temper as he used to, which has actually made the Du family's life gradually improve.

However, Du's mother was inspired by her strong-willed nature. She felt that the restaurant in Jialin City was on the right track for development, and since her child was about to go to Beijing, it was time to expand into Beijing.

Mr. Du, who was usually idle, was sent to Beijing to help find a suitable shop.

Mr. Du was overjoyed to receive his wife's assignment and immediately went to Beijing. After a month, he finally found a place that wasn't too far from several universities.

The reason for choosing this location is that at this point, there is less than a month left before the college entrance examination. The last mock exam has been completed, and it is pretty much decided which schools the children will be able to get into.

Meanwhile, Du's mother had finished arranging everything and hurriedly went to Beijing to prepare for the opening of the main branch of the restaurant.

This has been developing for several more months, and the number of branches in Jialin City has reached 10. The food for each restaurant is distributed through a central kitchen. Although the food is pre-cooked, the reasonable prices and excellent taste have made each store very popular.

Wang Yue and his team originally planned to use the money to buy a shop in Beijing, but they didn't expect to earn it directly through Jialin's restaurant.

Even the parents of Wang Yuelin, Qi Le, and the others had to admit that these children were much luckier financially than they were.

They were the kind of people who dared not venture into business. They originally thought they could live a life of security, neither too rich nor too poor, but they never expected that their children would make them more and more wealthy.

However, one can never know when bad luck or good luck will come.

Among these children's families, the Jiang family, which was originally the wealthiest, lost all their assets due to the sudden financial crisis.

In particular, Jiang Qiaoxi's uncle's family, who originally lived in Hong Kong and were doing very well in the financial sector, failed to survive this crisis. Most of their assets were gone, and they were left with only a small portion to rent a place to make a living.

Because Jiang Zheng trusted his elder brother so much, he invested most of his money in the stock market. In fact, he said that all the money he had earned before was made with his brother's help through the stock market. However, after this crisis, apart from the one million he gave to Jiang Qiaoxi, he lost all the rest of his money.

In other words, the Jiang family, which originally belonged to the two Jiang brothers, is now the wealthiest.

Jiang Zheng himself wasn't bothered, since he had a salary to live on. However, his older brothers' families were renting a cramped little house in Hong Kong, and the family of several people was having a hard time making ends meet. So he called Jiang Qiaoxi and explained the situation to him.

Jiang Qiaoxi hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He knew that his family's wealth was inseparable from the help of his uncle's family, so he took the initiative to tell everyone about his uncle's family's situation when everyone gathered together after school.

After Jiang Qiaoxi finished speaking, he said with great shame, "I really want to join everyone in this effort, but my uncle's family really needs a sum of money, I..."

He couldn't continue after saying that, since quitting at this point was tantamount to betrayal, which made the young Jiang Qiaoxi feel embarrassed, so he hesitated to say it.

Wang Yue glanced at everyone's expressions and found that no one was angry, only full of sympathy. Thinking of his mission, he smiled and said, "No need to quit. I can provide you with two options."

Before Jiang Qiaoxi could ask, Lin Qile urged, "Brother Yue, Jiang Qiaoxi is in a real crisis. Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us."

Yu Qiao, Du Shang, Cai Fangyuan, Cen Xiaoman, and their enemies couldn't help but laugh. They all trusted Wang Yue very much, so they weren't in a hurry at all, or rather, they didn't dare to urge him. Only Lin Qile was very natural with Wang Yue.

Wang Yue was speechless at his girlfriend's urging, so he said helplessly, "The first solution is for me to lend you some money. You can take it to your uncle's house to tide you over. You can pay me back next year when we get our hotel's dividends."

Having learned his lesson from last time, he immediately added before Jiang Qiaoxi could speak, "Another option is for you to pledge your shares to me, and I can lend you a large sum of money at our current highest valuation."

Give this money to your uncle's family so they can resolve their current crisis. They're in finance and good at making money work for them; they might be able to earn it back quickly.

Lin Qile was a little confused. She said uncertainly, "What's the difference between these two plans? It's just a matter of how much one is. If all else fails, we can each borrow a little and add it up."

Jiang Qiaoxi understood Wang Yue's meaning, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'll call my uncle and my dad to ask for their opinions. After all, it's not easy for me to make a decision directly about whether to lend or not."

After he finished speaking, he took out his phone, gestured to everyone, and then left.

After Jiang Qiaoxi left, Lin Qile glanced at Cen Xiaoman and complained, "Brother Yue, you're being too formal. We're not short of money. It would have been much better to just lend it to Jiang Qiaoxi. Why make things so complicated?"

Seeing that Lin Qile was only concerned with being helpful and had no sense of caution at all, Wang Yue helplessly reminded him, "If this were just a matter concerning Jiang Qiaoxi's family, we would help them because of our relationship. But now it also involves his uncle's family, so some things must be made clear."

Cen Xiaoman understood what was going on. She tugged at Lin Qile and reassured him, "Even close brothers keep clear accounts. Wang Yue did the right thing, and Jiang Qiaoxi will definitely understand. You can rest assured."
