"Sister Li Lin, why are you here?" Su Yue came forward and said in surprise.

"I was bored at home, so I went out shopping." Wang Lilin looked at Su Yue with a smile, then looked at the two girls beside him in surprise, and asked, "Xiao Su, how could you appear in Ningzhou?"

"Come to Ningzhou to participate in the single-recruitment examination of Huaxia University of Finance and Economics." Su Yue said with a smile.

He noticed that Wang Lilin was also following a personal assistant, and there were several women in equally luxurious clothes vaguely surrounding her, knowing that her current identity was completely different from before, and most of them had already married into the official family and became an official wife.

"Xiao Su, I really didn't expect to meet you in Ningzhou."

Wang Lilin smiled with his eyebrows and stood up from the chair in front of the jewelry counter, and said to the personal assistant beside him: "Xiao Liu, go back first. I'll chat with my friends. When it's too late, I'll call you and ask you to pick me up."

The personal assistant named Xiao Liu nodded, glanced at Su Yue lightly, and then turned around and left with the big bags and small bags bought by Wang Lilin.

Su Yue noticed the man's sharp eyes and his dragon and tiger steps.

I knew that this person must have been a soldier before, and I couldn't help but be surprised.

"Sorry, everyone, I have to leave first." Wang Lilin turned around and said lightly to the women around him who had been paying attention to Su Yue, and then reminded the waiter at the jewelry counter. Then he led Su Yue out of the mall building and smiled, "Xiao Su, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you... find a cafe to chat?"

There were many things, and Su Yue also wanted to ask Wang Lilin, so he nodded.

The four of them came to a nearby Starbucks cafe and ordered coffee and drinks. At this time, Wang Lilin looked at Su Xiaoyue and Zhang Xue carefully, and asked with a smile: "This one is your sister, and the other is your girlfriend, right?"

Su Yuewei was surprised: "How did Sister Li Lin know?"

"You forgot what I did before? I didn't fall for this ability to observe people." Wang Lilin chuckled, "When I was in Changling, I heard that you had a sister. It is not difficult to guess at her appearance that looks a bit similar to you and her intimate appearance to you; as for this girl... she can guess even better every move."

Su Xiaoyue stared at Wang Lilin with big eyes, full of surprise; Zhang Xue lowered her head and her face turned slightly red.

This shows that Wang Lilin’s guess is really correct!

"Sister Li Lin is still so smart." Su Yue praised.

Wang Lilin said happily: "Your mouth is still as sweet as ever."

Su Yue laughed and continued, "I haven't seen you for almost a year. Sister Li Lin has changed a lot. I almost didn't recognize you in the mall just now."

"Have you become fatter or ugly?" Wang Lilin teased.

Su Yue coughed dryly and said, "It's nothing. Sister Li Lin is still so beautiful. What I said has changed a lot. It's your temperament that has become more noble and elegant."

"I just think you are complimenting." Wang Lilin chuckled.

Su Yue said 'um', was silent for a while, and then he cut the conversation to the point: "A lot of things should have happened to Sister Li Lin in almost a year, right?"

"Yes!" Wang Lilin sighed, "Today, when I think back, all this still seems like a dream."

She said, looking at Su Yue with a chuckling: "I'm married, and my husband has also taken my parents to Ningzhou. From now on... I'm afraid I rarely go back to Changling."

"How did Sister Li Lin know your husband?" Su Yue asked suddenly.

Wang Lilin looked at Su Yue's deep eyes, but didn't think much. He just thought he was purely curious and replied with a chuckle: "We met in Changling. Does Xiao Su still remember the heavy rainstorm in Changling that night last summer? It seemed that a lot of things happened that night."

"Remember." Su Yue nodded and replied.

How could it not be remembered?

Wang Hai died that night, and the cause of death is unknown; Hongyuan Fund also collapsed that night, and 400 million yuan of funds disappeared without a trace; he also took advantage of the opportunity to accumulate his first pot of gold after rebirth, and then he gradually developed to a wealth of more than 1 billion yuan today...

A lot of things happened that night, which changed many people's lives. Some he knew, some he didn't.

"I met my husband that night. That night, he should have appeared in Changling City, but unexpectedly, on the section of Nanhua City to Changling Shujiang Bridge, a serious landslide suddenly appeared on the section close to Changling City. They were in danger and could not move forward or retreat. In the end, they could only stay in my hometown for the time being. It happened that night that I was also in my hometown, so many things happened later."

Her face turned slightly red, and she didn't tell the story of the relationship between the two people.

After listening to Wang Lilin's story, Su Yue did not continue to ask, but was a little confused. Why did her husband appear outside Changling City in such a sensitive occasion that night?

Should I go there or have other purposes?

Now that things have changed, everything that happened that night has passed. It is probably unlikely that he will try to figure it out again. Moreover, this matter has little to do with him, so he has no reason and has no motivation to dig into the bottom line.

"After coming to Ningzhou, is Sister Li Lin still used to living?" Su Yue abandoned the doubts in his heart and asked about family matters.

Wang Lilin smiled and said, "At the beginning, I was a little uncomfortable, but as time continued, I gradually became familiar with everything around me and had my own circle of activities. I felt that it was no different from when I was in Changling before."

"Sister Li Lin, I see that the sisters and friends around you are dressed well, and you are also equipped with a personal assistant. Your husband should... not an ordinary person, right?"

Su Yue pretended to be curious, but actually asked questions knowingly.

"He..."

Wang Lilin's husband flashed in front of her eyes and said with a chuckle: "Actually, he is not a big shot. In Ningzhou, he is currently in charge of urban construction. He is busy from morning to night, and there is no one to see anyone. I can only wander around myself."

Su Yue felt a little nervous. He was in charge of urban construction, but he was in control of the city.

Even if the position is not the executive vice mayor, he should be the most important of other deputy mayors without prefixes. Moreover, Su Yue knew that this person is not very old at present and his future is even more broad.

In my memory, this character was also from a low-level rural area and was gradually emerging in the officialdom, so he accepted Wang Lilin.

Su Yue pondered for a while and wanted to ask again. Wang Lilin smiled and said first: "Xiao Su, don't be curious about my situation. What about you? How are you doing in almost a year? I heard that your sister has leukemia, and now... she must have survived it, right?"

As she said that, she looked at Su Xiaoyue carefully and smiled gently at Xiaoyue.

"It's great. I opened a company and have earned some money at present, which is enough to resolve the difficulties I encountered in my life." Su Yue replied, "After graduating from high school, I will probably stay in Governor Ning in the next few years. I will have many opportunities to meet Sister Li Lin at that time. I hope Sister Li Lin can take care of her more."

"It is also worth helping you when you meet an old friend in a foreign land."

Wang Lilin smiled and said, "As long as you don't cause too much trouble, my sister can help you settle it. But... Xiao Su, Ningzhou is a place where you crouch and hide the dragon. If you seek too much, you should be careful and cautious. After all, this place is not Changling, and some things... I am powerless."

Wang Lilin knew from the first time he met Su Yue that this was not a peaceful child.

She didn't understand the financial matter, but she knew that it was an extremely cruel market, a place where people could kill without blood. Based on the friendship between the two in Changling, what she could do was to remind Su Yue as much as possible to remind him not to be too persistent and fall too deep.

"I thank Sister Lilin for reminding me." Su Yue said with a smile.

"By the way, Xiao Su... Where are you staying in the hotel now?" Wang Lilin asked suddenly, "If you come to Ningzhou, don't you lead the team?"

The road conditions in Ningzhou are complicated, and the mobile phone navigation system is not perfect these days.

She was worried that the three of them would not be able to find a place in Ningzhou.

"Sister Li Lin, don't worry about us." Su Yue smiled and said, "As long as you have money, you can pass anywhere. If you have taxis, you don't have to worry about not being able to find a place. Moreover, we are now living in Professor Gu's home, so we don't have to worry about accommodation and safety issues."

"Professor Gu?" Wang Lilin was a little confused.

"Professor Gu Zhengqing of Huaxia University of Finance and Economics." Su Yue explained, "When I was in Changling, Professor Gu discovered my talent in finance, so he recommended me to the school, giving me the opportunity to recruit special recruitment from Huaxia University of Finance and Economics."

Wang Lilin listened carefully, and said 'Oh', and slowly let go of the worry in his heart.

The two continued to talk about many trivial matters, and then Wang Lilin also asked Su Xiaoyue and Zhang Xue many questions. The four of them had a great time talking to each other.

When the four of them felt a little hungry, they came out of the cafe, it was already 5 pm.

Wang Lilin called to order a seafood feast, and then forced Su Yue and the other two to have supper before they left.

Su Yue and the other two returned to the Gu family villa again. It was already 9 o'clock in the evening. Gu Zhengqing was sitting on the sofa watching TV and brewed a cup of hot tea on the coffee table. He should be waiting for them to come back. Xu Ruoyun was missing and should have fallen asleep. There was also a girl about the same age as Su Xiaoyue in the living room. She sat next to Gu Zhengqing with bright eyes. She looked at Su Yue and the other two who were entering the door carefully, with curiosity and doubts on her face.

“Go out shopping?”

Gu Zhengqing glanced at the two girls beside Su Yue and laughed.

Su Yue nodded: "Take my sister and Xiaoxue to visit Taihe Street, and then met an acquaintance who used to be in Changling, so he chatted and had dinner."

While talking, the nanny Liu Ma had already taken the shopping bags from Xiaoyue and Zhang Xue, and then turned to make tea.

After a while, when the three of them sat down on the sofa, three cups of hot tea had been brought to the front of Liu Ma.

"Xiao Su, this is my daughter Gu Churan." Gu Zhengqing introduced, "At the age of Xiaoyue, I am also in the first year of high school. You all know each other."

After seeing his father say something, Gu Churan stared at him.

My heart jumped, and I hurriedly stood up, smiled sweetly and greeted Su Yue and the other two.

She was a cheerful and lively man, and she judged people by her appearance. The first impression was that she was good to Su Yue and the other two. So within a while, under her initiative, she became familiar with Su Xiaoyue and Zhang Xue. It seemed that she knew that her father would say a lot to Su Yue next, so she pulled Su Xiaoyue and Zhang Xue upstairs and went to play in her room.

Seeing that the entire living room finally became quiet.

Gu Zhengqing took a sip of tea and then asked, "Xiao Su, have you considered it?"

Su Yue was silent for a moment and said, "Old Gu, have you seen the betting agreement between Star Fireworks and Nanfeng Fund? What is the annual profit of the company they agreed on?"

"50 million net profit." Gu Zhengqing replied.

When Su Yue heard this number, he looked expressionless and asked again: "How much is the current loss of Star Fire Pictures?"

"Listen to Mrs. Dong, the current loss should be around 60 million, but I estimate that the loss will continue to expand as time goes by." Gu Zhengqing said, "After all, the capital chain of Xinghuo Film has been stretched to maintain its operation. There is still a film and television project, so it cannot be stopped just by saying that it will stop."

Su Yue nodded slightly and said, "In other words, if I want to help this, I have to invest at least 110 million yuan to reverse the dilemma."

"From the financial data, that's the case." Gu Zhengqing replied.

"It seems that film and television projects are really worthy of being a money-burning machine. The investment is much greater than I thought!" Su Yue said in his heart, thought for a while, and continued to ask, "Old Gu, if you were asked to value "Star Fire Pictures", how much can you value it in your heart?"

This company has not been listed, so naturally there is no public valuation in the market.

The valuation calculated by institutions based on the proportion of investment equity is only for outsiders who are not aware of their profession and cannot be counted at all.

If Su Yue really wants to invest, he has to weigh how much the company can be worth.

"Xiao Su, after you went out in the afternoon, I called Lao Dong, asked some things, and learned some specific information you wanted." Gu Zhengqing said, "If you want to value the company, Xinghuo Film Company, you have to estimate it from its artists, in-hand projects, exclusive copyrights, etc.."

"There are no fixed pricing standards for these three things, but we can deduce them from the cost direction."

"For example, how much does it cost to train an artist, or sign an artist, how much does it cost to invest in the project in hand? How much does it cost to purchase exclusive copyrights..."
