"Yunyan! You actually have that much cash!" Xu Yaowei was shocked. He never believed anyone could have so much money in their account, but Shang Yunyan casually pulled out a check for a staggering 9.9 billion. Whoever could issue such a check must have a hefty bank balance!
"Don't be so surprised; I'm not helping you all for free! I have a request!"
"Yunyan, just say it!!"
"I want her!" Shang Yunyan pointed directly at Xu Yiru!
"..." The Xu family fell silent. It wasn't that they were unwilling, but they were taken aback by how straightforward Shang Yunyan was!
"Ah! Yunyan! You could have told me quietly!" Xu Yiru suddenly blushed!
"Uncle, don't misunderstand. When I say I want Yiru, I've already discussed my intention with her. I plan to kick off the Yunyan Jewelry project and aim to start operations before the New Year. I've also looked into the situation in the Xu family. The group company has been managed by you, Yaowei, and the others, and Yiru would only have menial tasks there. So, I think it's better for Yiru to come help me start a business, and I'll hand over the company operations to her. As long as she's happy, that's what matters!"
Hearing this, the Xu family quickly recalled what their daughter had talked about the night before regarding a second project!
Surprisingly, Shang Yunyan's words left Xu Yiru a bit disappointed. Did it mean that Yunyan didn't really like her?
"Dad, Yunyan has a point. There's really no formal position for my sister in our family! Even if she gets into Xu Group, it would take years to secure a stable role, before she could even consider a managerial or assistant position. Being by Yunyan's side seems like a better development! He'll definitely take good care of her!"
"Right! I will take good care of Yiru, don't worry, Uncle!" Shang Yunyan added, but his words carried an intriguing meaning that Xu Daqiang, Xiao Wei, and others understood immediately!
"Yiru, you decide on this. You're grown up now, and Mom believes you can follow your own ideas! Don't worry about what your dad and brothers think! Of course, Mom has guessed your thoughts!"
"Mom and Dad, then I'll go help Yunyan. I have three brothers at Xu family who will take care of me, and I also have my own dreams!"
"Great! When can you start working, Yiru? Is today convenient? Let's talk!" Shang Yunyan was excited, while Xu Yiru felt a bit overwhelmed. She was going to start working today?
"I… Yunyan, can it be tomorrow? I need to prepare!"
"Ah! Sure! I'm a bit anxious too; I need to prepare as well! But Yiru, starting this venture with me might be tough at first, but I won't let you down!"
"I'm not afraid of hard work. Honestly, I want to do something for myself. I'm really happy you're giving me this chance!"
"Alright, let them chat! We should go! Let's not be third wheels!" Xu Yaotian glanced around, not seeing Shang Wantong, and he quickly proposed it to avoid interrupting the couple.
"Good, Yiru, you and Yunyan discuss the operations of Yunyan Jewelry well, we'll be leaving now!"
"Uncle! If my calculations are correct, the Ai Hongcheng project will be settled after the auction, and I'll contact you directly then. Don't worry about the funds; I'll reach out to the bank! About the interest, I'll figure it out!"
"Yunyan, thank you for your help!"
Xiao Wei looked at Shang Yunyan; she knew men like him were one in a million, and he was definitely the best future for her daughter!
Once everyone else from the Xu family left, Shang Yunyan took Xu Yiru's hand and asked, "Silly girl, how did you feel when I said I wanted you just now?"
Xu Yiru blushed deeply upon hearing his words!
"I… just…"
"You don't want to? Is it too much for you?" Shang Yunyan pretended to look sad!
"I want to! There's nothing I don't want! But I don't think I'm good enough for you! I know what I am; the Xu family is only here because of your help…"
Before Xu Yiru could finish, Shang Yunyan kissed her!
Feeling the man's scent, warmth, and the softness of his lips, Xu Yiru froze on the spot, not knowing what to do, while Shang Yunyan kept testing the waters, gently searching for something…
After a long time, they finally separated. Shang Yunyan said, "You said you wanted to; you can't back out now!"
"Um…"
"Awesome! Then you're my girlfriend now! Yes! By the way, do you want to move in with me? I…" Suddenly, Shang Yunyan realized he was babbling; they had only just confirmed their relationship less than a second ago. He was too eager!
"Ah… that's too…"
"What I mean is, my house is big; you're welcome to come any time since it's close! Now, sit down; why are you standing at home?"
"Ah!" The two seemed to find themselves in an awkward situation, each lost in their own thoughts!
