Chapter 1364 -1236: Face-to-Face Meeting 2

“Sis, one billion can stimulate the economy of a province. I think you should reconsider. If you want to invest domestically now, it’s mainly over in the special zones.

You’re making too much noise, with lots of pressure. It might be better to have Lawyer Xue set up a company in Hong Kong and then inject the funds in the name of foreign investment.”

After he finished speaking, Zhou Jiao smiled and looked at May 1st without saying a word.

“Mom, I think my little uncle has a point. Pulling back so much capital doesn’t seem like something you’d do. Is there another reason?”

Zhou Jiao didn’t intend to hide from them, “I want to give your dad a hand. This money only realizes its value when it’s in his hands.

Xiao Ming, the focus remains abroad, at least for the short term within five years, there’s no plan to invest in domestic special zones. I need to pave the way first.

Moreover, setting up a company brings a lot of trivial matters. Not to mention you’ll be helping me, but you’re already carrying a heavy load, including May 1st, none of us plan to go into business.

Besides, I’m not bragging, I could turn 250,000 into several billion in just a few years. I can certainly increase it to tens of billions again, but it’s still too early to start a company and do real business.

Let’s wait a few years. You focus well on developing family businesses, and when things over there end, the two of us can go all out together.”

After hearing this, May 1st smiled and spread his hands toward Miao Tianming, “Better listen to my mom. She should have considered all aspects thoroughly.”

Miao Tianming gave him a sideways look: Silly boy! It’s like throwing buns at dogs, one billion! Whose money is he worried about?

“Sis, does Brother Xiao Wu know about this?”

Zhou Jiao guiltily touched her nose, “He knows.” But he doesn’t know exactly how much capital I will withdraw. Anyway, the money is from my family; we’ll talk about it then.

May 1st slightly shook his head at Miao Tianming. For now, follow his mom’s plan; it’s enough to contact his dad when there’s time. New Year’s Eve? Haha, there are still two or three months to go.

“Alright. Other than these, is there anything else to add?”

“Yes! There really is.” Zhou Jiao squinted her eyes at May 1st, “Son, how about mom gives you a task?”

May 1st was startled and immediately grinned, “Heh heh, mom, do you need to discuss with your son? At your command, I guarantee everything will be smooth.”

Zhou Jiao watched for a moment, “You won’t be too busy?”

“How could I be?” May 1st’s gaze immediately flicked to Miao Tianming, “You ask my little uncle, I’m very free every day.”

Miao Tianming quickly shook his head, “Heh heh, I’m too far away from you.”

“Little uncle, cousin lady sends people over every three days, and that hourly aunt is hired by you. I properly stay under your nose.”

“Sis, May 1st wasn’t wrong, I asked Third Aunt, she said May 1st is very well-behaved, usually spends more time at school, rarely returns to the villa, and never brings outsiders home.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiao chuckled. Her son wasn’t easy to see through; that’s him. However, she had no intention of saying more, hoping they’d help cover.

As for collecting antiques and artifacts abroad, it’s related to Gu Family’s major matters. She’ll discuss it with her son later, hiring people with money will do. She really doesn’t want her little cousin to busy himself for her.

So, Zhou Jiao quickly changed the subject, “Your aunt has a heart, let’s invite her for a meal later. By the way, why did you promise sis to get married last year?”

May 1st laughed aloud.

Old bachelor?

“Sis?”

“Calling me sis won’t cut it! Even Ping’an and Liu Yi are engaged, how long are you planning to drag this out? Do you have any shame? You’re almost thirty and still a bachelor, not because you can’t afford a wife. Originally, I was worried you’d pick up bad habits outside, be surrounded by women, but now, not even one!”

May 1st pulled on her, “Mom, my little uncle has someone, he’s quite shy, reportedly has a girl chasing him, but he dislikes she’s only twenty.”

“Sis, don’t listen to his nonsense. This year, definitely this year I’ll get married.”

“Little uncle, really? Then I’ll have to supervise you!”

“Mind your own business.” Miao Tianming gestured with his chin outside, “Do you understand your own situation? Any clear-eyed person can see that girl is deeply in love with you.”

“I’m not like you; talking about this is still too early.”

Miao Tianming gave him a glare, “Be careful not to play too much, or you’ll regret it when she leaves.”

May 1st shook his head, smiling without a word.

Zhou Jiao observed and instinctively frowned, “What’s going on? If you’re not interested, keep your distance. Don’t play both sides, or I’ll deal with you!”

“Mom, I’m wronged.” May 1st quickly raised both his hands, pulled his neck back, “I wouldn’t dare to mess around; I plan to let her choose.”

Zhou Jiao glanced at him, eventually holding back from embarrassing her son. Firstly, she trusted her child’s character, and secondly, she just saw the two’s relationship in the restaurant was quite good.

Then she asked about Wen Yu and their current situation.

This trip she bore her aunt’s bunch of old and young women’s commands, unsure whether she’d have time to visit those two kids’ school.

They’ve been talking for some time now, colleagues from the group were still at the hotel, with events scheduled in the afternoon. Zhou Jiao couldn’t delay official matters.

Agreed to talk again in the evening, tomorrow she plans a trip to May 1st’s school, visit the child’s professor and observe daily situation.

No matter how much the child says, seeing for herself is better, and she could take more local photos for her mother; otherwise, she’d hear a nagging upon return.

Her little old lady, increasingly biased, constantly concerned about the grandchildren, every time urging her to visit her sons in the military.

Reportedly, they fear her most!

Where does that come from?

She is the most open-minded mother in the world.

Strolling through Yale campus, feeling the beautiful Gothic and Georgian architecture, witnessing enthusiastic classmates greeting her son.

Zhou Jiao couldn’t help but feel happy for her son.

Looks like her May 1st is indeed quite popular!

Her biggest worry about racial discrimination and campus violence didn’t exist.

The two-story villa was also beautiful.

Those white neighbors were friendly and hospitable, influenced by the flashy capitalist world, her little brother was cultivated successfully. ℴ

That night she didn’t stay at the villa.

Firstly, leaving the group for too long wouldn’t look good; secondly, the time was too tight, she still needed to visit where Little Jiu was staying.

Seems that girl has become sprightly, fair and tender, what a worry if she encounters family with ill intent, one mistake and she’ll suffer.

Children without parents around often wear a false smile outside.

Who knows if this girl only reports happy news, not sadness; without seeing it personally, there’s always a concern.

In her opinion, it would have been safer when she was dark and inconspicuous.

After visiting Little Jiu’s landlord, a lady large enough to be thrice her size, and an old man relying on a wheelchair, Zhou Jiao could finally relax.

A household like this is the safest!

Of course, unless Little Jiu foolishly provokes them, otherwise that white lady could slap her onto the wall with one hit.
