Shocking! This student is phenomenal!

The staff member's exclamation immediately drew everyone's attention.

Everyone turned to look at Su Jiang.

"Holy crap, what's a Super VIP Card? That name sounds so impressive!"

"How come I didn't know Jiangnan Hot Pot had these kinds of cards? I wonder if I can get one? I want one too!"

"This guy is so handsome! He's the quintessential 'tall, rich, and handsome' type. I've decided to raise my standards for a partner again starting today! No guy who's not as good as him can even touch me!"

"Honey, I'm your boyfriend, and I'm right here with you. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that?"

"Get lost! You damn simp!"

Amidst the lively discussion, Jiao Ruyi was also very curious: "President Su, what exactly is this Super VIP Card?"

The staff at the Jiangnan Hot Pot restaurant quickly stepped in to explain:

"This is the highest-level VIP card we offer at Jiangnan Hot Pot!"

"Only shareholders of Jiangnan Hotpot Corporation or above are allowed to hold these shares."

"Those who have this card can enjoy all the food at Jiangnan Hot Pot for free at any time without having to queue."

Every employee at Jiangnan Hot Pot undergoes special training before officially starting work. During the training, they are informed about the significance of these membership cards and are given various assessments to ensure they have a deep understanding of them.

Therefore, the moment he saw this card, he felt immense respect for Su Jiang.

At this moment, the staff member looked at Su Jiang with a questioning expression as he spoke.

"Let's go, Jiangnan Hot Pot is also one of my businesses." Su Jiang laughed and then led Jiao Ruyi into the store.

Everyone was stunned, especially the first few people who had been waiting in line for over an hour, who exclaimed in surprise.

"Wait, what did this guy just say? He said Jiangnan Hot Pot is just one of his businesses?"

"It seems so. This person must be incredibly wealthy to own such a successful company at such a young age!"

"Wrong! Didn't you hear what he said? It's just one of his businesses, which means he owns much more than just Jiangnan Hot Pot! I'm so envious!"

"What a winner in life! If I could open a Jiangnan Hot Pot restaurant, I feel like I'd take off. This guy just owns the whole company!"

The person most shocked at this moment was, of course, Jiao Ruyi.

He learned from Yu Kaian that Xinghua Pharmaceuticals belonged to Su Jiang, and that Yongming Brokerage also belonged to Su Jiang.

Now things have gotten even worse. The first two were at least in Jiangzhou, but now even the well-known national brand Jiangnan Hot Pot is from Jiangsu.

Suddenly, Jiao Ruyi felt incredibly proud to be able to have dinner with Su Jiang.

"President Su, I was originally planning to treat you, but now..." Jiao Ruyi said somewhat embarrassedly.

However, Su Jiang quickly interrupted him: "It's alright, it doesn't matter who invites me."

This made Jiao Ruyi feel that Su Jiang was really down-to-earth.

Such a big boss, yet so approachable. No wonder he's been able to grow so successful.

"Yes, yes, yes, the main reason I'm here today is to thank President Su for his help with this matter at Yongming Brokerage." Jiao Ruyi expressed the main purpose of inviting Su Jiang out today.

Su Jiang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."

Logically speaking, Jiao Ruyi should be Su Jiang's client, and Su Jiang should be the one inviting Jiao Ruyi. But now, for some reason, it's become the client who needs to thank Su Jiang.

"Your company's sales have gone up now, right?" Su Jiang asked curiously.

Jiao Ruyi nodded: "It's really tough to run a physical store now. The sales we generated in just a few days of live streaming at Yongming have already equaled our monthly sales in the past."

"Sigh," Jiao Ruyi said with a sigh, "If we had realized this a few years earlier, our agricultural project wouldn't have been abandoned."

Upon hearing the word "agriculture," Su Jiang reflexively looked up.

I can hardly believe it.

Is it really possible for this to be such a coincidence?

"An agricultural project?" Su Jiang asked curiously.

Jiao Ruyi explained: "Some of the products our company makes are dried fruit and candied fruit, so we contracted a large mountain area to grow our own fruit trees."

"As a result, we found that the fruit we grew was not as good as the fruit we bought from outside. Although it was cheaper, it didn't taste good, and the processed fruit didn't look good either."

"Therefore, this mountain area is now abandoned. The key point is that we signed a full 20-year contract with the government, and there are still 15 years left..."

"We had to pay rent every year, but there was no harvest, and no one would take over the subletting. We thought about picking the fruit and selling it to fruit wholesalers, but they only offered a few cents per pound, which wasn't even enough to cover the labor costs."

"If we had known about live-streaming e-commerce back then, we might have been able to sell these local specialties and avoid losses. Now, those fruit trees are either dead or overgrown due to neglect."

Jiao Ruyi kept talking on and on.

He didn't notice that Su Jiang's eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

Goodness, this is like a pillow delivered to me just as I was about to fall asleep.

After a while...

"Mr. Su, why are you looking at me so strangely?" Jiao Ruyi suddenly noticed that Su Jiang's gaze was somewhat off.

Then, Jiao Ruyi started to fill in the blanks in her mind: Hmm, I think I understand something.

No wonder President Su helped me out and was so generous in agreeing to have dinner with me.

Could it be that he has taken a liking to me?

Holy crap! I'm a guy!

Does President Su prefer men?

Jiao Ruyi felt extremely uneasy and wished he could escape immediately.

I'm not even handsome, so why did CEO Su fall for me?

Is it just because I have a big butt? My classmates have always said I have a big butt...

But thinking about how Su Jiang helped him, he realized that his own company wouldn't be doing so well without the help of Yongming Brokerage.

Should I just reluctantly give in to him this once?

Then, thinking of this, Jiao Ruyi's gaze towards Su Jiang became shy and evasive, and her face even began to flush.

"Uh, why is your face so red?" Su Jiang suddenly felt that Jiao Ruyi's face was as red as if she were drunk.

"Ahem, Mr. Su, I'm just shy, it's my first time after all!"

Jiao Ruyi said in a slightly coquettish voice.

Su Jiang: ......

For a grown man to make such a gesture almost made Su Jiang spit out the meat in his mouth.

Nausea!

"Get the hell away from me, you pervert!" Su Jiang immediately stood up and pointed at Jiao Ruyi, cursing.
