437: This is a big deal.
437: This is a big deal.
If it were someone else, Fu Yueci would have persisted and pleaded, but if it were Xiao Qingdai, he really wouldn't dare.
Of all the people from both families combined, the only one who could frighten this child was Xiao Qingdai.
Fu Yueci used to wonder why Aunt Qingdai was so cool, while Qingqing was so cute and cuddly.
He now realizes that it was because she was young at the time.
Now, her personality has begun to change a bit, and at times, she and her mother are very similar.
Perhaps when she grows up a bit more, she will resemble Aunt Qingdai even more.
Fu Yueci thought this was a good thing, after all, his sister was going to be the head of the family in the future, and that's how it should be. Besides, the Xiao family was no ordinary family.
As an older brother, I feel a little lost when my younger sister stops clinging to me.
However, this is easily solved. Now that Fu Yueci has nothing to do, she takes Qingqing out to play and takes more videos and photos to keep as souvenirs for the future.
The little girl was very easy to talk to, and she was used to people taking pictures of her with cameras all the time, so she didn't resist.
Fu Yueci's photography skills are improving at a visible rate.
He felt he shouldn't study business administration; he should study photography instead.
Graduation means employment; I might as well apply to be Qingqing's photographer.
Moreover, since he was using his older brother's supplementary credit card, he didn't need Qingqing to pay him a salary, which saved him a lot of money. It was such a win-win situation.
There were cameras readily available, and the old man bought a whole bunch of them; the lenses alone filled an entire wall.
The more Fu Yueci thought about it, the more he felt that this profession had a promising future, and he planned to start developing in this direction from now on.
It was almost ten o'clock when Xiao Su drove the car out with the three of them. It seemed they wouldn't be coming back for lunch.
The housekeeper watched them leave with a smile, then turned back.
The Xiao family's house needs to be maintained every month, and today is the day again.
He called the team of craftsmen to arrange a time in the afternoon and made a note of it in the ledger.
After finishing this, he planned to tell the head of the family that the young lady had gone out to play.
While walking through the connecting corridor, the butler encountered Shuangjiang coming from the other side.
Although the two came from different directions, they seemed to be heading to the same place.
As they drew nearer, Shuangjiang slowed her pace and greeted him, "Uncle Xiao, are you going to see the head of the family?"
The butler nodded, in a good mood, and replied with a smile, "Yes, Miss has gone out to play and won't be back at noon. I'll let the master know so she won't worry."
He's quite old, and the Xiao family is so big, Shuangjiang reminded him that next time he could just send a message directly, so he wouldn't have to run around.
Incidentally, she took on this job, and she was just about to go there now.
Xiao Qingdai was still in the conference room. There weren't many people inside; a small meeting had been going on since nine o'clock.
Those attending the meeting were all heads of the biotechnology and medical sectors under the Xiao family.
Since the beginning of the year, stocks related to the Xiao and Fu families and these two sectors have been soaring, rising by more than 100 points from their original levels, which is quite alarming.
The Xiao family is currently focusing on developing these areas and has invested a lot of research and development funds.
Yesterday, Friday, there was some minor progress in the pharmaceutical sector, and all the responsible parties were called to a meeting today, which shows how much importance they are currently receiving.
Most of the leaders in the conference room were visiting the Xiao family for the first time and meeting Xiao Qingdai for the first time; their excitement was palpable.
These two sectors went from being obscure to extremely popular, so popular that even Yue Du Tai pales in comparison.
As one of the largest auction houses in China and abroad, Yue Du Tai can be considered the crown prince of the Xiao family, a position it held for hundreds of years. Who would have thought that this year its crown prince position would be snatched away?
When the frost descended, someone knocked on the door, and the person inside, who was giving a report, stopped talking.
She went in, whispered in Xiao Qingdai's ear about Qingqing's departure, and then sat down in the second seat.
The sound wasn't loud; it had been lowered, but it was still quite clear in the quiet conference room.
The person who had just given the report suddenly forgot what he wanted to say, his mind filled with thoughts of how unfortunate his timing was today.
It wasn't until Xiao Qingdai's gaze fell on him that he realized he had to continue his report.
But where were we? I forgot, let me look at the screen again.
The meeting ended a little after 11 a.m., and the senior executives left with beaming smiles.
At this meeting, the big boss allocated a significant amount of research and development funds to them.
Who said she was fierce? She's not fierce at all; she's beautiful and generous, practically a fairy.
Once they left the Xiao family's house, the group couldn't help but show off, finding a chat group on their phones that they had previously blocked.
They used to be relegated to lurking in the group chat, feeling hurt when others showed off. But things are different now.
Fortune turns, and they became the crown princes.
It turns out that everyone, no matter how human, will have vanity.
[Oh dear, the team has recently made some small breakthroughs in research and development. I came to report to the boss today, and to my surprise, she allocated us ten small goals' worth of R&D funding after hearing about it.]
This is ridiculous. /laughing-crying emoji/laughing-crying emoji/
While they were speaking, the usually lively group chat became eerily quiet for some reason.
Former Crown Prince Qin Tianxing also saw it; he was eating at the time.
After reading the messages in the group chat and glancing at the dishes on the table, I suddenly lost my appetite.
Of that 1 billion yuan in R&D funding, I estimate that half of it came from his monthly revenue from Taiwan last year.
