Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 667: Chapter 647: Meeting on a Narrow Path, He Juncai (Part 6)

After dinner, the three of them had just returned to the hotel when someone knocked on the door.

Jimo Cheng calmly opened the door, Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu stared at the handsome young man outside the door, a bit stunned.

”Your assistant has arrived,” Jimo Cheng said with a smile to the two of them.

”Huh? An assistant? So young, can he handle it?” He Wenyu, hearing that it was an assistant, immediately started sizing up the young man from every angle, as harsh as an interviewer.

”Don’t worry, when it comes to sales, I’ve never lost to anyone,” the young man began to speak for himself: ”Whether it’s insurance, customer service, selling cars, selling houses, or selling collectibles, I’ve dabbled in them all...”

While the young man was already talking with He Wenyu, Luo Qianqian was somewhat dumbfounded: ”Senior brother, where did you find this guy? He’s ruined so many industries?”

”What are you thinking about?” A trace of helplessness crossed Jimo Cheng’s face: ”Come here, you have another task.”

”What task?” Luo Qianqian followed Jimo Cheng to a conference room on the side, leaving the living room for the two to have their ’interview’.

”The task grandpa assigned, you probably don’t have time to waste here,” Jimo Cheng sighed, ”Senior brother doesn’t have time this time, so I’ll take you.”

”Where are we going? Senior brother, you’re not planning to sell me, are you?” Luo Qianqian had a wary look on her face.

”What are you talking about?” Jimo Cheng handed the documents in his hand to Luo Qianqian: ”This is the file that just came in, I printed it out, take a look.”

Luo Qianqian took the documents, started reading with a calm face, but lifted her head in under half a minute, her face full of shock. She had only skimmed through it but she had seen the key words: bookmaker, Gambling Stone, funds...

”Senior brother, are you joking with me? How old am I???” Gambling Stone? Isn’t that just gambling away our family’s assets? Here He Wenyu is just pretending, scamming money from his family, but if she actually did this, it would really be squandering the family’s wealth.

”What do you think grandpa’s main business is?” Jimo Cheng glanced at her with annoyance: ”If grandpa hears this, he’d make you learn everything he knows.”

Then he paused: ”Rest assured, our visit is just to broaden our horizons, the main purchasing will be done by someone from home, and for the stones we fancy, grandpa has also given money to buy them for fun.” A smirk suddenly appeared on his face: ”Besides, isn’t your Second Uncle also a master at this? The jade accessories you’ve worn are not something you can see just anywhere.”

Luo Qianqian’s face showed a tinge of embarrassment; she hadn’t looked into what Jimo Kong did, but it was embarrassing that she didn’t even know what her own Second Uncle had done.

”I see...” A smile hung on Luo Qianqian’s face, but inside she was cursing.

”So, you do have this gene in you, the only problem is, this...” Jimo Cheng flipped through the file and pointed at a line of text: ... requires the notarization of a declaration of consent from a parent or guardian for a minor to travel abroad.

”Parent, guardian... my mom... no, no, no,” Luo Qianqian shook her head repeatedly, that wouldn’t do, if her mom found out, would she not be in big trouble? Going abroad was one thing, going abroad with her senior brother was another, especially if it meant spending someone else’s money to buy a bunch of Stones.

Wait a minute... Stones? Luo Qianqian suddenly remembered the two boxes of Stones under her bed at home, which according to Bai Yizhu were specially brought back... Could they be the same kind of Stones?

”That’s not the biggest problem,” Jimo Cheng sighed: ”The biggest problem is, your passport photo, it was directly used from your ID photo, so...” it wasn’t that good-looking.

”So what?” Luo Qianqian was puzzled, when had she ever gotten a passport? How did she not know about this? ”When did I get a passport?”

”Ah, just...” Jimo Cheng casually took out two passports from behind the documents, ”Grandpa had someone take care of it.”

Luo Qianqian opened the passport, saw the delicate face on it, and immediately knew... she’d taken the wrong one. She chuckled, ”Senior brother, even your ID photo is super handsome.” After saying that, she switched to the other one, then her expression turned somewhat dark, finally realizing the issue Jimo Cheng had struggled to explain to her...

”My ID card is this dark???” Luo Qianqian looked incredulous, pulled out her wallet, and compared the two, complaining, ”My ID card is clearly better looking than this!” Holding up both the passport and the ID card right in front of Jimo Cheng’s eyes, she sought confirmation, ”Right? Right?”

”Hmm, yes.” Jimo Cheng was also quite unsatisfied. His cute little junior sister, how did she end up looking like she had a pancake face? She looked as if her face had swollen from lack of sleep the previous day. An ID picture looking better than the passport photo was like an insult, yet it had become a reality...

”I’ve even taken ID photos at school before, after all... library cards, student IDs, they all need one.” Surely with a bit more effort, he could have found a nicer one, or at least he could have directly asked her for one. Why was he so brutally simplistic...

”It’s okay, as long as no one else sees it.” Jimo Cheng had a serious look on his face, but the words he said made Luo Qianqian not want to deal with him. No matter how much they tried to keep it from people, someone would see it, right?

Frowning, she stuffed the passport back into the folder, ”I’ll pretend I didn’t see it.”

”So, when are we going?” Luo Qianqian perked up after asking. After all, she had never been abroad. But if they left too early, she would be worried about He Wenyu.

”Around the 9th or 10th, we’ll rush back before the semester begins.” Jimo Cheng was very composed, ”So we have to resolve this quickly, there are only three days left.”

Luo Qianqian nodded, and silence fell between the two of them.

”Hahaha, then I definitely won’t buy it, I’m not stupid. You say one for three yuan, three for ten yuan, obviously that’s a loss.” He Wenyu’s laughter from outside, filtered through the half-closed door, reached the ears of Luo Qianqian and Jimo Cheng.

Both of them inadvertently smiled and stood up. Wan Yu’s laughter was quite infectious. Luo Qianqian opened the door, ”What are you laughing at?”

”This guy is too funny, let me ask you, Qianqian, during the sports meet, if you overtook the person in second place, what place would you be in?” He Wenyu wiped away his tears, immediately stood up as if ready to quiz Luo Qianqian.

”Second place...” Luo Qianqian blinked, clueless.

”Uh...” This did not follow the script...

”Then what if you overtook the person in first place?”

”Not the very last place, since he is already at the end, it means he got lapped, right? So other than not being the last, anything is possible.” Luo Qianqian sat down next to He Wenyu, ”So what are you laughing at?”

”Hey, I still don’t believe it, that math problem Big Brother just said, say it again.” He Wenyu glared, face full of defiance.

”Start with 1000, add 40, then add another 1000, then 30, then another 1000, now add 20, then another 1000, now add 10, what’s the total?”

”4100...” Luo Qianqian still looked utterly bewildered.

Jimo Chang was trying hard not to laugh on the side, Luo Qianqian tilted her head, ”Why do I feel a little confused?”
