The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

After everyone was seated, Miao Xianxing took out the business association's work plan, which they had been working on all night.

"Mr. Wang, these are just some of our humble opinions. We hope you won't be disappointed."

Mr. Wang took the plan and began to read it carefully.

Secretary Li poured tea for the group and then stood quietly to the side. He was also curious about what they had written.

"Haha! Good! No wonder Jiu'er recommended you. You certainly didn't disappoint me. Tell me your specific ideas."

After reviewing the proposal, Mr. Wang was very pleased. He hadn't expected that these people could organize the material so clearly in just one night. He gestured for Secretary Li to sit down and take notes on the discussions between Hua Yan and the others.

An hour later, Hua Yan and her group walked out of Zhongnanhai in high spirits, because their plan had been fully affirmed by Elder Wang.

"Uncle Miao, you will be the president of this business association from now on. Old Master Wang has officially appointed you."

Hua Yan was also pleased that Old Wang valued Miao Xianxing so much. He was an ambitious person who had been overlooked after graduation. If she hadn't known how capable Miao Xianxing was in her previous life, he might still be holed up in that unit, drinking tea and reading newspapers.

Miao Xianxing was still in a state of shock. He had never imagined that his life would present such a great opportunity. Indeed, his life had changed since he met Ninth Master.

Miao Xianxing looked at Hua Yan with a face full of affection and said, "Jiu'er, may I hug you?"

Without a second's hesitation, Hua Yan opened her arms and gave Miao Xianxing a big hug.

"Uncle Miao, you are the best."

Hua Yan knew that Miao Xianxing was somewhat unprepared for this sudden opportunity, and he needed encouragement.

"Jiu'er, thank you!"

Miao Xianxing said with red eyes.

Hua Yan patted his back without saying a word. Their understanding was so profound that few words were needed.

"Third sister, I want a hug too."

Seeing that Miao Xianxing received such treatment, Ye Zhuang couldn't be left out. He never imagined that his adopted sister would bring him such great fortune. If he went back and told his grandfather, the old man would definitely want to adopt Hua Yan as his granddaughter. Yes, he must tell him when he gets back; that way, his sister will be even more secure.

Hua Yan accepted all comers without hesitation, knowing the excitement in their hearts, including Taiji, so she fulfilled their desire to express their gratitude.

Kyoto courtyard house

Busy Hua Yan was finally able to rest peacefully for two days, but fate couldn't bear to see her idle, and Zhang Tao knocked on the door.

"Jiu'er, I need to talk to you about something. I hope I won't bother you."

These past two days, Liu Quan has been telling everyone not to bother Hua Yan unless necessary, and to let her rest. Even Liu Quan himself doesn't seek out Hua Yan unless absolutely necessary, though he saw the light on in Hua Yan's study all night the other day.

"Uncle Tao, come in quickly. Just say what's wrong. Don't worry about disturbing me. There's no need for all this talk."

Hua Yan was reading a book; the college entrance exam was just around the corner, and she and Taiji were determined to become the top scorers this year. Although there were past exam questions, what if her little bee-like wings flapped and changed the current situation, making this year's exam questions different from those of her past life?

"Jiu'er, this is a gold lock that my father made for you by hand."

As soon as Zhang Tao entered the room, he handed a small box to Hua Yan.

"Hehe! Thank you, Grandpa Zhang."

Hua Yan took out the gold lock and glanced at it, discovering that there were several words in Song typeface on it: "Passing the Imperial Examination".

"Ah! Grandpa Zhang knows I'm going to take the college entrance exam?"

"Yeah! I heard it from Quan Ge. He mentioned it to my dad by chance, and he quietly made this for you."

Actually, Grandpa Zhang wanted to find an opportunity to thank Hua Yan. Zhang Tao said that Hua Yan was busy studying and taking the college entrance examination, so he couldn't come. That's why Grandpa Zhang came up with this way to express his gratitude.

"Grandpa Zhang's craftsmanship is unparalleled in the jewelry industry. Not only is the workmanship exquisite, but the designs are also unique and beautiful!"

"If my dad knew how much you like it, he'd be so happy!"

"I love it, I love it so much. But I have to keep this as a keepsake; it would be a shame to wear it around in public."

Haha! This gold lock is quite heavy. If Hua Yan wore it around her neck, it would not only be tiring, but also dangerous.

Zhang Tao scratched his head, realizing the problem. If it were someone with impure motives, they might harm Hua Yan for money. He had only wanted to thank Hua Yan and give her the best, without thinking too much about it. This gold lock was made with all the money his family had earned.

"Uncle Tao, I think this should be the crown jewel of our jewelry store. The craftsmanship and design are unmatched. But let's make this clear, this is mine. Don't sell it to me. It's just for you to display."

Hua Yan thought that since she had plenty of gold in her space, it would be a waste to leave this in there, so she came up with this idea.

Zhang Tao was initially taken aback, but after thinking about it, he realized it made sense. His father's craftsmanship was second to none in Kyoto, and if the child didn't wear it, having it in the shop would certainly attract customers.

"Hehe! Alright! By the way, Jiu'er, business at our gold shop is booming right now. All the young couples getting married are coming here to place orders. Our inventory is running low, and the recycled old gold can't meet the demand. I'd like to hear if you have any ideas."

"Oh! Is that so? No problem, I have a friend who has connections in this area. Just let me know how much you need."

“That’s great! My dad has been so worried these past few days. He said he needs at least 500 grams to meet his current needs.”

"No problem! Wait for my news. By the way, how's the old man's health lately?"

"Hehe! I'm doing great! I'm working at a jewelry store now, and I'm in better spirits than my brother and the others."

Zhang Tao chatted with Hua Yan about the gold shop for a bit, then took his leave. He didn't want to take up too much of Hua Yan's time, because he saw Liu Quan patrolling the courtyard. He understood; this meant he was telling her that it was enough.

Less than an hour later, Ronglu arrived. He didn't care about Liu Quan's opinion; he acted according to his own schedule. During the time Hua Yan was back, Ronglu was extremely busy, handling all the work while Liang Dong was away. He was truly exhausted.

Now that Liang Dong is back and has taken over some of the work, he finally has a chance to catch his breath and quickly came over to chat with Hua Yan.

“Jiu’er, Uncle Rong won’t say anything about gratitude. My Rong’s family has already told me how you saved him. You’ve seen how the Rong brothers treat you sincerely. If you ever need anything from us in the future, just ask. We will do our best to help.”

As an elder and a descendant of the Manchu nobility, Ronglu naturally possessed an inherent arrogance. His ability to say such things meant he truly considered Huayan one of his own.

"Uncle Rong, do we need to say all this? We're all family, no need for formalities. I remember how well you've managed Meihua Pharmaceutical! Second Uncle, Fifth Uncle, and Fourth Uncle, we're not just business partners, we're family and friends."

You have no idea, Fifth Uncle and Second Uncle of the Fu family are always comparing who I'm closer to, need I say more! From the very beginning when Uncle Rong sold me the house, I knew that the Rong family is not a family that values ​​profit, and your vision is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Back then, your ancestor, Ronglu, was able to shoulder the blame for the then-ruling party amidst widespread public condemnation; this shows he was a man who considered the greater good.

"Jiu'er, I didn't expect you to see things so clearly and understand my ancestor's good intentions."

Ronglu was moved. He truly hadn't expected that Huayan's knowledge had surpassed that of ordinary people, and even transcended time and space.

He chose this name because he wanted to vindicate his ancestors through his own efforts, but history changes rapidly, and the Rong family's once-thriving foundation vanished overnight, leaving no basis for restoring their honor. However, Ronglu seems to have seen hope again now, because of Huayan.
