Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

No! That's not the point!

The point is, Sister Ye, did you want to do the same thing as them just now?

.........................

Practice shows that... mature women and twin tails are compatible.

Yu Zhe naturally took the initiative to tie Ye Jie's hair up, and the more he looked at it, the better it looked.

However... this was just everyone's leisurely mood behind closed doors in the office. Once outside the office, apart from Xiao Lizhi, who had come with her hair in pigtails, Yu Che and Sister Ye had both untied their ponytails and returned to their usual dignified hairstyles.

Twin tails are nice, but they lack presence!

The four of them took the elevator down from the top floor to the sixtieth floor of the Tan Kong Building.

This is where the meeting room is located, and many of the Su family's important decisions originate from here.

As Yu Zhe watched the numbers on the elevator approach sixty, he wrapped his arms around Yu Che, who was leaning against him, and asked.

"Yuche, has Mom been up to something big lately?"

"Hehe... Brother, hold me tighter. Yeah, that's true." Yu Che confirmed this statement. "That woman, she can't stand not causing trouble. The Su family was doing just fine, wasn't it? But now that she's back, she said she'd help share some of the pressure and do some work for me, but look at her, brother! She's always looking for trouble, investing in this project and that project, and they're all super complicated and troublesome contracts. Ugh, my workload has suddenly increased recently, and I yell at her every time I see her at the company!"

Such filial piety! It's incredibly filial, a truly heart-wrenching display of filial piety.

Mom, you should be grateful to have such a daughter.

They scold you when they catch you, instead of hitting you. That's already pretty good, sob sob.

Yu Zhe accepted Yu Che's "little report" in its entirety and patted her head reassuringly.

"Okay, I'll come to the company more often these next few days and help you with the work."

"Mmm!! That's great!! If we finish work early every day, we can have more time to get things done in the afternoon! Sigh! If you ask me, I'd like to renovate the office and add a bed! That way, you can lie down and rest when you come in, and then after I finish reviewing the documents, I can just pounce on it, hahaha, just thinking about it would be so wonderful... Ouch!"

Yu Zhe shattered her delusions with a single chop to the neck.

"Don't push your luck... You'd better just leave your office alone."

"Okay..."

You put a bed in your office?

How could you even think of that?

Hmph, Yu Che was seriously considering this matter just now!

Even if we don't put a bed in it, we still need to change the sofa; the old one was too uncomfortable!

—My brother likes a soft, cozy bed.

Yu Che remembered every single one of Yu Zhe's preferences.

23. Three-way collaboration

I brought Xiaolizhi with me to the conference room this time.

It's not good to leave her alone in the office. Besides, Yu Zhe doesn't think like Aunt Elisa. Little Lizhi isn't the same as before. Although she's a bit silly, she certainly won't cause trouble everywhere she goes!

At least she can definitely sit quietly and not say a word!

Give her more confidence, okay?

The automatic door to the conference room opens automatically when someone approaches.

The people inside the room simultaneously stopped their discussion and looked towards the door.

Ah... Yu Zhe paused, the room was full of familiar faces, no outsiders.

Yang Qiuyun and Su Zhenfeng, a married couple, sat in the center of the conference room.

Aunt Elisa from the Ouyang family, Uncle Ouyang Yan, and Uncle Qi Yi from the Qi family stood on either side.

There are only a few of them here.

But it's heavy enough.

This represents half of the business community in Fenghai City today! The lineup is undeniably impressive.

Today's topic is mainly about the new cooperative projects that can be achieved through the cooperation of the three parties.

They are all wrinkled now

The furrowed brows were enough to show that their meeting discussion had just reached a stalemate.

Despite the impressive lineup, Yang Qiuyun, who was seated at the very center, had tears welling up in her eyes the moment she saw her son step into the conference hall!

She immediately dropped the agenda she was holding and rushed towards Yu Zhe at top speed!

"Waaaaah, Xiao Yuzhe! You're finally here! How heartless of you! Mom's been exhausted these past two days, and you haven't even come to the company to help! Xiao Yuche only knows how to scold me!"

Intimidated by Yu Che's intimidating gaze, Yang Qiuyun could only stop a few steps away, not daring to act rashly.

Ouyang Yan and Qi Yi simply exchanged a smile at Yang Qiuyun's sudden, unserious, and even somewhat comical and childish reaction.

Su Zhenfeng, who knows her best, and Elisa, who understands her best, are even more perceptive.

This is Qiuyun's true nature.

She's been handling work with a cold expression these past two days, which really doesn't suit her.

Yu Zhe was urged forward by Yang Qiuyun, but he didn't forget to turn back and ask a question.

"Mom...are you sure you're this tired? I've taken over the Su family's work before...it's not as exaggerated as you say."

"It's definitely not an exaggeration to say that before! Things were ambiguous and lacked any challenge. But now I've drafted dozens of new business orders! The workload has exploded!"

"Then why don't you eat less?!"

Just as Yu Che said, the old official really made a splash upon taking office!

Even though Yu Zhe and Yu Che are both juniors, Su Zhenfeng actually stood up and moved aside when they came to the conference room.

Forget about seniority and saving face; the right thing to do is to solve this massive amount of work in front of us with maximum efficiency!

Yu Zhe greeted the elders one by one, arranged for Xiao Lizhi to stay with Aunt Elisa, and Qi Xinye also returned to Qi Yi's side.

Making room, Yu Zhe didn't stand on ceremony and sat in the spot where Yang Qiuyun had been sitting. With Yu Che assisting him, the two began to look through the documents in front of them.

It's fine if you don't look at it, but once you do... it really gives you a headache.

"Mom...we have so many advantageous industries, why are you doing all these new things instead? Aren't you tired?"

"Hey kid, don't complain yet. This is an investment in the future. If it were you, Yuzhe, you would understand, right?"

It's not that I don't understand...

Yu Zhe had to admit that his mother was right; he had only been complaining.

The various projects listed in these documents are indeed investments in the future.

For example, the joint investment by the three companies in the education sector in Fenghai City is indeed a major undertaking that no single entity could accomplish alone.

Also, there is the proposal regarding the three companies jointly investing in the animation industry in Fenghai City.

this...

Ok? !

Yu Zhe specifically pulled out this document, looked at it again and again, and finally stopped doubting his own eyes.

That is indeed the title.

Qi Yi volunteered and said, "Yu Zhe, this was proposed by our Qi family. It's all thanks to the comic convention you and Xiao Ye went to half a year ago... At first, I really didn't understand what anime or 2D was, and although I still don't understand now... But at least I've figured it out."

“You young people have really high spending power in this area! After that series of comic conventions, Qijia took over all of them, and the profits were quite substantial! So I would like to propose that this project be included in the scope of cooperation among the three companies, so that we can work together to make this industry bigger and stronger and form a complete chain.”

"..."

After listening, Yu Zhe could summarize his statement in a single sentence.

That is...

It's so easy to make money off anime and manga fans!!

That's exactly the point! Yu Zhe has to admit that the spending power and desire of anime and manga fans are soaring.

Well... just like Yu Zhe, who has no desire for material things, he occasionally buys a figurine online.

So... in terms of the feasibility of the plan, Yu Zhe still checked the box on the document and handed it to Yu Che.

"Yu Che... I'll hand this project over to Xiao Meng to research later. Don't let her unassuming demeanor fool you; she should actually be quite knowledgeable about consumer preferences in this area. Ask for her opinion and get the product framework done as soon as possible."

Xiaomeng is also a long-time anime and manga fan.

Back when Yu Zhe was still drawing comics himself, Xiao Meng was a fan of his for ten years!

Hmm... it's definitely not ten years, after all, Yu Zhe hasn't even been drawing comics for ten years.

But from that time on, Yu Zhe remembered something: Xiao Meng was incredibly knowledgeable about anime and manga culture. After all, she could even read and discover the unknown comics that Yu Zhe was drawing for fun, so her level of mastery in the world of anime and manga was self-evident.

"Understood."

Yu Che took the document and quickly agreed.

Haha... Brother really wants to give them a chance to shine.

Actually, if it's about business information, the Su family has a dedicated think tank. Even in the realm of anime and manga, they should be able to find consultants with a higher level of expertise than Luo Xiaomeng.

But... I just want to give that little guy this chance, so Yu Che will just do as he's told~

They want to stay by their brother's side, and this level of involvement in business is only a matter of time.

As Yu Zhe continued reading the subsequent issue documents, he found it much smoother.

No wonder Mom feels overwhelmed. Things like anime and games are often geared towards young people's preferences, so making decisions in these areas is bound to be a hassle for Mom's generation.

It's a gap between eras.

Investing in the future means investing in young people. Even if Mom isn't good at it, she has a keen sense of opportunity and wants to get the Ouyang family and Qi family into these industries as soon as possible.

It's truly admirable.

Not long after, Yu Zhe had roughly scanned all the projects and made annotations on the documents he thought were feasible.

When the documents were returned to Yang Qiuyun, she was overjoyed: "He's truly my son! So useful...cough, so reliable! Thank you, Yuzhe. Go home a little later tonight, and Mom will make you something delicious to treat you!"

Were you just about to say how great it is?! How smug you are!
