After finishing the pig farm project, Shen Wei was left with little money.
She had previously invested all her funds in the new district kindergarten.
The loose change had been spent on buying gifts for Gu Qingyan.
Although the system had recently rewarded her with quite a bit, it was all gone after opening the pig farm.
Shen Wei looked at the bills for the kindergarten. Since the introduction of a wealthy class, the monthly revenue of the kindergarten had been skyrocketing.
Initially, this kindergarten was meant to be a welfare project. Shen Wei hadn't expected to make money from it.
But earning money was indeed quite nice.
Most of the children in the wealthy class were actually from middle-class families.
Now, as Starry Sky Kindergarten became increasingly popular,
Those middle-class families who hadn't enrolled their children before were starting to regret it.
The truly wealthy people also began frantically seeking connections and relationships to get in.
Lin Rui returned after a busy morning, wearing high heels, and sat down to drink some water.
Shen Wei really admired Lin Rui; she always dressed like a fashionable career woman.
No matter how early or late, she always appeared at various occasions with impeccable makeup.
Just this ability to maintain such a polished appearance made many people feel inadequate.
With the cooking competition handed over to the TV station, she could relax a bit.
She then sat in the chair and asked Shen Wei, "Want to go to a bar tonight?"
"No, thanks." Shen Wei didn't like places that were too noisy.
Besides, she planned to come to the kindergarten more often recently, and it wouldn't be good for the children to smell alcohol on her.
"How have you been lately?" Lin Rui asked.
Although they were together every day,
They were always busy with their own affairs and rarely had such leisurely moments to sit and chat.
"Same as usual, just a bit tight on money!" Shen Wei rarely had times when she was short on cash. Although she didn't have many expenses now, she just wasn't used to it.
Lin Rui chuckled, "You're really something, paying for a building in full. I've never heard of such a thing in all these years!"
Those in wealthy circles, no matter how rich they were, would always borrow from banks.
Some wealthy families might have assets worth several billion, but often owe external debts of over 10 billion.
They could hardly be considered wealthy in that case.
Paying 100 million in full to build a kindergarten had caused quite a stir and shock in high society, which hadn't subsided even now.
Lin Rui said, "If you're short on money, I can give you some. I'm not using it anyway."
Shen Wei said, "No need!" She still had a few hundred thousand.
It was enough, and once the pop-up store and kindergarten started operating, money would flow in steadily.
Seeing that Shen Wei wasn't just being polite, Lin Rui added, "Make sure to let me know if you need money."
Then they moved on to other topics.
Neither of them noticed a slim figure at the door who had overheard their entire conversation. It was Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan had been diligently supervising the work recently.
But since he had an assistant to help manage things, unlike others, he could still find moments to steal away from work!
This time, he had given himself a break, wanting to come back and see Shen Wei.
Unexpectedly, he overheard this conversation.
After a while, Lin Rui was called away by the TV station staff.
Shen Wei was left alone in her office.
Gu Qingyan knocked on the door and heard Shen Wei's pleasant voice say, "Come in."
Gu Qingyan hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open.
It had only been a week since they parted,
But seeing him again, he really was different.
Previously, Gu Qingyan was like a flower nurtured in a wealthy family.
But after experiencing some hardships, his skin color had darkened slightly, making him appear even more handsome.
Indeed, when someone is good-looking, they look good no matter what.
Gu Qingyan stared at Shen Wei for a long time without speaking. Shen Wei smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Has it been tough out there?"
Those words nearly made Gu Qingyan's nose sting with emotion.
He had never experienced such hardship before. In his limited life experience, this was the most difficult time.
But hearing this, he gritted his teeth and endured.
However, upon seeing Shen Wei, for some reason, a bit of grievance welled up in his heart.
Shen Wei naturally knew how much he had helped with this matter.
If it were up to her alone, she might not have been able to handle it, so she looked at him with a smile and even brewed him a pot of good tea.
Gu Qingyan seemed to have something to say. Shen Wei said, "If it's not working out, we can hire someone to do it!"
Gu Qingyan said, "No need, I'm doing well there, and I can learn more things."
After saying this, he opened his mouth but didn't continue.
Shen Wei seemed to keenly sense his concerns and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Gu Qingyan was silent for a moment before saying, "I have 10 million here, plus various stocks that can all be transferred to your name. Can you help me manage them? If you need money for anything, just take it from there."
Shen Wei was stunned, not expecting Gu Qingyan to say this: "Why put the money with me?"
Gu Qingyan turned his head away and said, "I just want to leave it with you."
Men usually keep a tight grip on their money.
Putting money in Shen Wei's hands could only mean one thing.
Shen Wei also sensed this and finally blushed.
A strange atmosphere lingered between the two of them.
Then Doctor Lu knocked and entered, saying the kindergarten needed to purchase a batch of new toys.
He ended up looking at the two of them with a mischievous grin.
He glanced at Shen Wei, then at Gu Qingyan.
In the end, Gu Qingyan, being more shy, couldn't bear it and fled in embarrassment.
Doctor Lu wore an expression of someone who had just gotten some juicy gossip, and then leisurely walked out.
He went back to enthusiastically tell his colleagues at the kindergarten about everything he had just witnessed.
Since coming to Starry Sky Kindergarten, he had become very gossipy.
Matters of who liked whom and such never escaped his keen eye.
