Chapter 86: Arrangement
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The three siblings of the s.h.i.+ family rarely sat together for dinner, especially with their sister-in-law, Yuan Shu. Therefore, the atmosphere was a little awkward at the beginning.
Yuan Shu didn’t mind the awkwardness. Instead, she started to ask about everyone’s daily lives.
First, she asked s.h.i.+ Bin, “You’re graduating in June. Nowadays, all schools let their students intern. What are your plans?”
s.h.i.+ Bin said nonchalantly, “I don’t have any plans. It’s just an interns.h.i.+p. I can just get a random stamp from the company. I don’t like to work. I want to enjoy my life.”
Looking at s.h.i.+ Bin’s youthful face, Yuan Shu picked up a mouthful of fish and placed it in her mouth. She chewed it slowly and finished swallowing before asking, “Are you sure?”
When s.h.i.+ Bin glanced at her, he felt as if she wasn’t eating the fish, but him. s.h.i.+ Bin felt apprehensive and said, “I… I’m not sure. I haven’t thought it through yet… Yes, I haven’t thought it through.”
Yuan Shu nodded thoughtfully and asked, “Are you interested in venture capital?”
s.h.i.+ Bin didn’t answer immediately. He thought about the investment plan that he had made for Yuan Shu two days ago. He and the professor had only come up with it after spending an entire day in the computer room. When he saw the investment plan, s.h.i.+ Bin was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
This was the first time he had worked so hard and put in so much effort for something. Now that he thought about it, there wasn’thing wrong with being a venture capitalist.
Seeing that s.h.i.+ Bin was silent, Yuan Shu could tell at a glance that he was tempted. However, he had just said that he didn’t like work, so he would definitely not backtrack right away. Hence, Yuan Shu gave him a way out.
“Shenglan Venture Investment Company has been hiring interns recently. Why don’t you give it a try?”
Shenglan Venture Investment Corporation was a company founded by Xiao Sheng. It was medium-sized, but it was quite famous in the industry. Coupled with Xiao Sheng’s character, many people in this industry had high hopes for him.
Therefore, interning in his company would allow s.h.i.+ Bin to learn knowledge without coming into contact with the dark side of society. It was the best choice for s.h.i.+ Bin.
s.h.i.+ Bin was already a little interested in the venture capital profession. In addition, he couldn’t help but want to listen to his sister-in-law and treated her words like an imperial edict. He wanted to receive her praise. Even if he couldn’t, not getting scolded would be nice as well.
Now that Yuan Shu had given him a way out, s.h.i.+ Bin naturally had no reason to reject her. Moreover, he didn’t have any resistance regarding it. Instead, he agreed to this matter willingly.
Everyone at the table was silent for a moment. When Yuan Shu spoke again, she talked to s.h.i.+ Yi.
“s.h.i.+ Yi, how do you want to deal with the haute couture copyright infringement?”
At the mention of this, s.h.i.+ Yi was furious. She gripped her chopsticks tightly and said fiercely, “Of course I want to sue him! Who cares about his lousy money?! Since he dared to touch my things, I’ll let him know how powerful I am!”
Yuan Shu approved s.h.i.+ Yi’s decision.
Yuan Shu’s principle was eye for an eye. If someone offended her, she would get revenge! She treated her family the same as well. As long as they wanted to compete, they had to win fair and square!
Yuan Shu encouraged s.h.i.+ Yi, “Don’t worry about this. Liu Lan and I will help you.”
s.h.i.+ Yi was touched and nodded solemnly. “Alright!”
Yuan Shu waited for her to calm down before asking her, “What are your plans after you return to the country? Are you going out of the country soon?”
s.h.i.+ Yi supported her chin with her hand and tapped her trusted cheek with her finger that had just been manicured. “I won’t go back for the time being. I want to find a job in the country so that I can make a name for itself in the country through my designs! This way, no one will dare to plagiarize my design so easily in the future.”
Seeing s.h.i.+ Yi’s confidence and fighting spirit, Yuan Shu was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
As the only daughter in the family, s.h.i.+ Yi had been pampered since she was young. Although she was domineering sometimes, she also had the pride of a lady from a blue-blood family, which made Yuan Shu feel gratified.
Suddenly, an idea appeared in Yuan Shu’s mind. She thought of her fabric factory, Yushu Buyi.
She had already seen the company’s development report just now and felt that the company’s current development model could no longer keep up with the trend of the times. It was time to carry out some reforms..
