We both walked into the yard, and Mina finally spoke up, "Do you know why I'm in such a hurry to come back?"
I looked at her and shook my head.
Mina smiled slightly and said, "Next week is my wedding. Do you think if I didn't come back, Old Xiao and you two could relax and attend my wedding after such a big incident?"
"Ah? So that's the reason?" I asked.
Mina rolled her eyes and said, "What else? Do you think something happened? Did I break up with Longwen?"
She could say that, but I wouldn't dare to bring it up.
Mina sighed and said, "I've thought it through. If we're getting married, then let's just go for it. After all, his family hasn't said anything against it, and he treats me pretty well. The most important thing is that I'm still quite satisfied with him."
I quickly grabbed her and said, "Hold on, hold on. Can you say something more reliable? Everything you're saying sounds like you're settling. This isn't your style."
She rolled her eyes at me again and said, "What else should I say? That I'm hopelessly in love with him and can't find anyone better? His parents also hope I can marry into the Dragon Family because I have a business mind that can make up for Longwen's shortcomings. My goodness, although all of this is true, he just feels embarrassed to say it out loud."
Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. I really couldn't understand this Good Fellow. Clearly, it's a good thing, yet she had to create such an atmosphere that made me worry about her.
After talking about her own matters, Mina asked me, "The company's situation is a bit precarious. What do you think?"
I shook my head and said, "What good will it do? There are police outside and Xiao Minxing inside; he won't let me handle anything anymore. I just need to take care of the kids at home."
"He’s right. Don't underestimate this incident; although it's not big, it has cost quite a bit of money. The raw material warehouse burned down, dear sister. How many customer orders were in there? We're already trying our best to recover from this, but the compensation alone is a significant amount that will surely hurt Old Xiao's wallet."
I knew the raw material warehouse burned down, but I only realized that the compensation to customers would be even more substantial.
Xiao Minxing hasn't mentioned a word about it when he came back. Every time I brought it up, he just laughed it off. In fact, when it comes to money, I might feel even worse than he does because that's something I've lacked since childhood. Even though I have some now, I know how hard it is to come by.
"Alright, you don't need to look so miserable. You know what kind of capabilities your family’s Xiao has, right? Sure, the money is gone, but your family isn't lacking in that regard, is it? Besides, even if he doesn't firmly hold the top position in Haicheng, he won't be far off. And that's just what’s visible; who knows what else he might be hiding?"
Mina patted my shoulder to comfort me.
But I really couldn't feel happy about it; it wasn't about the money. I just felt that Xiao Minxing was really too exhausted.
If I were given a small company, I would be overwhelmed, yet he manages dozens of such companies, and there are even some I don't know about.
After thinking for a moment, I still asked Mina, "Are you really not going back to Haicheng after getting married?"
She pulled back a little and looked at me, asking, "What's wrong? Are you trying to get my attention? No way. Longwen's family is also quite large and prosperous. From what his parents say, they’ve always wanted him to manage the company, but this young master has no interest in that line of work. He spends all day singing and playing. Now that he has finally caught me, I can't believe they would let go."
"So you're saying Longwen's family is quite satisfied with you? Aren't they worried that you might take over the Dragon Family's company in the future?"
When Mina heard this, she rolled her eyes dramatically and then turned back to glare at me fiercely, asking, "Are you even my friend? Is this how you support me? Besides, while the Dragon Family is a family business, Longwen has siblings. And those siblings are nothing like the Xiao family's wastrels; each of them is a business elite. Even if I were to squander something, it would be from Longwen's hands. As his mother would say, since it's meant to be shared with us, it's ours as a couple. How we handle it is our own business."
I couldn't believe such words, but looking at Mina's expression, she didn't seem to be joking.
She sighed and said, "So yeah, I'm under a lot of pressure now. What if I accidentally mess things up? Wouldn't that make me look like a spendthrift?"
I nodded and said, "Very much so. Plus, Longwen isn't into business; in the future, he'll rely entirely on his family's assets. If you mess up, he might not survive."
"Yeah... So do you think I can still go back to Haicheng?"
Alright, I have to admit that in this regard, whether it's Mina or Xiao Minxing, they both have the ability to set traps for others; I'm just not as skilled and only end up being deceived.
However, Mina also advised me not to worry too much. She said Xiao Minxing is quite capable; this little issue isn't a problem for him at all. Moreover, there are plenty of talented people in Haicheng. The reason he wants me to go to the company isn't just to wait for Mina's return but to help me learn how to manage a company.
I know Xiao Minxing has good intentions, but I don't know what lies behind them.
Mina also looked confused: "Who knows? Your old Xiao always does things this way. Until the end, no one knows what calculations he is making. By normal logic, someone of his status wouldn’t just support one woman; even ten or eight wouldn’t be a problem. Moreover, he would definitely not let them work; they could just spend money at home."
"Maybe Xiao Minxing isn't a generous person? He doesn't want to spend money on me."
When Mina heard this, her eyes widened, and she touched my forehead, asking, "Girl, are you okay? Did you burn your brain out? He doesn’t want to spend money on you? Do you even know what you're saying?"
Of course, I knew that what I said was excessive. In fact, Xiao Minxing really hadn't restricted my spending; I was just guessing about his intentions when I casually mentioned it, not expecting it to provoke such a strong reaction from Mina.
She lowered her voice and said, "I've heard that all the companies he controls, all the profitable and manageable projects are under your name. After the merger, your shares are still above his. Didn't they say in the company meeting that he works for you? In other words, if Xiao Minxing is currently the top in Haicheng, you wouldn't be second; the only difference is that he is managing things for you now."
I looked at Mina in shock, unable to discern the truth in her words.
She looked back at me and then asked, "You really don’t know?"
I shook my head.
Mina gazed into the distance and said, "I've never seen a man like this before. Perhaps one day you'll suddenly receive a call from the bank saying, 'Miss Qiu, we can no longer hold your money; please transfer it elsewhere.' Only then will you believe it's true."
