Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

Jiang Zong and Lin Ting went downstairs together.

Then he discovered that his relatives were very familiar with Lin Ting, almost more so than with him.

"Xiao Zong, Nannan, come sit here."

As soon as Auntie San saw Lin Ting and Jiang Zong come in, she immediately waved to them.

In the past, when the Chiang family held family banquets, everyone was seated according to seniority, regardless of their relationship to the family or their financial status.

But there aren't so many rules when it comes to late-night snacks. There are just two round tables set up in the restaurant, and whoever is hungry can come and eat without much restraint.

Lin Ting glanced at the time before going downstairs; it was past ten o'clock.

Heaven knows why two hours passed after Jiang Zong only ate a little something.

I don't know where the time has gone.

She thought most people would be resting at this time, but when she arrived at the restaurant, she found that there were more than forty people gathered there, apart from children.

"Xiao Zong is here! You've gotten so thin from being so busy these past few days. Come and have something to eat."

"Xiao Zong, hasn't your uncle returned yet?"

"Xiao Zong, keep eating. Your cousin has something to tell you. You don't need to say anything, just listen to me..."

For most people, weddings, funerals, and other celebratory events are simply a perfectly reasonable social platform.

They won't be truly happy, nor will they be truly sad. Besides getting their money back, they'd be even better off getting some extra benefits.

In ordinary households, this kind of benefit might be a pack of cigarettes, half a bottle of wine, or even a small red envelope;

In the Chiang family, that was...

"Xiao Zong, what do you think of my cousin's business?" Jiang Yu stared intently at Jiang Zong and held up a hand. "Only five million, and it will double by the end of the year!"

Jiang Zong remembered his cousin's instructions and ate his meal in peace without saying a word.

"Ahem," Jiang Yu said without feeling embarrassed at all, and continued to persuade him, "Xiao Zong, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to have your own career. I'm only taking you on because we're like brothers. You just need to invest your money, and you don't have to worry about anything else. Just wait for your dividends!"

Jiang Zong was annoyed and didn't want to talk to him.

"Xiao Zong, I'm not bragging, but the health supplement business is definitely booming. In particular, the raw materials we've chosen are cultivated using a very scientific method. We let the people grow them themselves, and then we'll buy them all at once. This will not only help a large number of laid-off workers find employment, but also reduce our raw material costs."

Lin Ting listened from the side, and the more she listened, the more familiar the words seemed.

She couldn't help but interject, "Cousin, do you know about Ant Power God?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yu was a little confused. "What is that?"

Lin Ting waved his hand and laughed it off: "No, no, I heard two people discussing this on the way here. They were talking about having people adopt raw materials and then paying them money every month."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu became even more enthusiastic: "Look, Xiao Zong, the competition is so fierce, it'll be too late if you don't join now!"

Jiang Zong: "..."

I'm so annoyed, I want to kick him out.

Lin Ting then gave Jiang Yu an apologetic smile: "I'm really sorry, cousin. Last month, my brother and I invested in a business together, and all the money went into it."

"What?" Jiang Yu stared wide-eyed in shock.

He never imagined that even after winning against all his brothers and sisters, it would still be too late.

Lin Ting continued with a smile, "However, I think your plan is still very feasible. Why don't you talk to your master directly? After all, it costs five million. Even if my brother wants to do it, he doesn't have that much money."

Jiang Yu was speechless, almost choked to death by those words.

When discussing business with his uncle, one needs to present a detailed plan and a five- or even ten-year forecast. If he could produce such a thing, would he need to try to fool Jiang Zong?

Jiang Yu's face turned red with frustration, then he sighed in regret: "Xiao Zong, you're so foolish! Why don't you do business with your own family? Even if you don't care about a hundred or two hundred thousand, you can't just throw it away like that."

Jiang Zong really didn't want to talk to him.

But judging from what he said, it seems like he was implying that Tingting was lying to him.

Ah.

Why would you need to lie to him?

So what if she likes it and it's just thrown away?

Jiang Zong put down his chopsticks, his cold gaze falling on Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu shivered involuntarily.

He hadn't noticed it before, but at this moment he suddenly felt that Jiang Zong looked a lot like his uncle when he was angry.

I don't need to say anything, just one look at you is enough to make me feel scared.

"I don't need my cousin to worry about who I do business with or what kind of business I do."

Jiang Zong stared into Jiang Yu's eyes, his voice cold and his expression even colder.

Jiang Yu twitched his lips, wanting to say something, but was grabbed by the collar and taken away by his father, Jiang Zong's second uncle.

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly turned cold. Although not everyone surrounded Jiang Zong and talked to him, their attention remained focused on him.

Second Uncle was not Jiang Zong's biological second uncle; he was a cousin of Jiang's father.

In reality, although there were many relatives present, none of them were direct relatives. Grandpa Jiang only had one son, but he had many brothers and sisters, which is why there were so many relatives.

"Xiao Zong, don't take it to heart by your brother. He's just worried about you, he just doesn't know how to say it." Second Uncle chuckled and casually coaxed him, then glanced at Lin Ting intentionally or unintentionally, "What kind of business are you doing? Let Second Uncle give you his opinion."

Jiang Zong naturally couldn't tell the truth. He pondered for a moment and answered, "Imported."

"What are you importing?"

"arms."

Second Uncle: "..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Xiao Zong, you really know how to tell jokes..."

The second uncle chuckled awkwardly for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Ting, who was noticeably softer and sweeter: "Nannan, why don't you tell your second uncle?"

Lin Ting, with a sincere expression, earnestly said, "Second Uncle, as you know, the Soviet Union has collapsed, so this business... has great potential!"

The second uncle looked bewildered.

How can you make this sound so real?

Lin Ting casually handed a bowl of old duck soup to his second uncle and said, "However, this investment is quite large, and we are currently short of funds. Second uncle, would you be interested in investing in it?"

Second Uncle: "Hehehe, I think we should forget about it. My old bones can't take this kind of strain..."

His son was just trying to swindle some money, but they actually tried to take his life!

He glanced at Jiang Zong.

This kid has gone astray.

Lin Ting blinked, glancing at her relatives who were eyeing her menacingly, and continued staring at her second uncle, saying, "You don't have to do import business, that's fine too. We actually do exports as well."

His second uncle glared at him: "Export what? Type 56?"

“Of course not,” Lin Ting shook his head with a smile. “The export business we’re currently preparing for is sending highly skilled professionals to major capital countries.”

Lin Ting swore that she was absolutely not lying.

Providing TOEFL training is essentially sending people abroad!

However, to my second uncle, these words sounded like—human trafficking.

Lin Ting enthusiastically invited, "Second Uncle, are you interested in joining? We're just starting out, so joining now would make you a veteran."

Second Uncle: "Never mind, never mind, never mind..."
