Early in the year and end of the year are the busiest times for a company.

At the start of the year, plans are made and the future is envisioned; at the end, summaries are drawn and gains and losses are audited.

This year, Tianci's growth momentum has been gratifying, turning loss into profit, with a net profit of six hundred million.

Six small targets may sound insignificant, but don't forget how many years Tianci Capital has been established.

A small investment like opening a restaurant usually takes two to three years to pay back.

As an investment company, throwing money around and achieving a profit greater than the loss so quickly shows its development potential.

Of course.

Credit also goes to the leadership for their wise guidance and careful project assessment.

When involved in angel investment at East University, Master Luo was ambitious and accepted all comers, but after graduating and taking office, he became much more pragmatic and steady, personally investigating every project.

As the often absent but indispensable soul of the group, Boss Jiang has not let the meritorious feel cold-hearted, generously fulfilling promises by giving the hardworking executives a year-end bonus of one million. Meanwhile, he hasn't forgotten the basic staff, adding an extra month's salary to their original benefits.

Hmm.

Boss Jiang has never been a miserly or petty person.

"Knock knock knock..."

After the summary meeting ended, Luo Peng came again, but it was certainly not about the mere one million year-end bonus.

After listening, Jiang Chen frowned.

"How long has it been?"

"Almost two months."

Luo Peng's expression was also serious.

"She just found out after two months?"

"Her parents didn't dare to tell her, forced into a corner now, initially, she also didn't want to tell me."

"That's different." Jiang Chen said frankly, "She didn't tell you because she didn't want to trouble you, but they're family."

Luo Peng smiled wryly.

"Her parents don't know what she's doing outside, feeling guilty, they're quite sorry to let such a young girl come out and fight, and they certainly feel embarrassed to find her."

Jiang Chen could understand.

Father died, mother sick, brother studying.

Such "lingo" is often fabricated, but the Qinyuan Oiran definitely wouldn't lie.

Jiang Chen paused, then asked a sharp and crucial question.

"Are you sure her brother is still alive?"

Luo Peng pursed his lips, then nodded heavily, "Should still be alive, her parents said they last made contact with him during the last remittance."

No wonder Luo Peng mentioned Xia Wanqing avoiding speaking with family on the phone before, it seems justified now.

"How long has it been since then?"

"Less than a week, it was last week that the money was sent."

Luo Peng said helplessly, "They initially asked for one hundred thousand, her parents gave it, but they didn't release him after getting the money, now demanding two hundred thousand. Her family isn't wealthy, how much can they have? To avoid suspicion, she never dared to send too much money home. To save her brother, her parents have almost emptied their savings, all to no avail, the ransom demanded keeps increasing. Unable to manage any longer, her parents had no choice but to notify her."

Feeling helpless, Luo Peng became more troubled, "With so much anti-fraud publicity, why do people still fall for scams, today's young people have no brains?"

Jiang Chen could understand his feelings.

If he really ends up with Xia Wanqing, caught in this trap now, it's his brother-in-law.

"How old is her brother?"

"Seventeen, I think, attending vocational school, hardly mastering a craft before running abroad for fortune. Myanmar, is it a place for ordinary people? Didn't even think if he could return."

"People have a gambling mentality, at seventeen, pride kicks in, wanting to alleviate his sister's stress working abroad, contributing to his family."

Luo Peng smiled wryly, sighed gently: "What you say makes sense. In that case, the responsibility falls on Xia Wanqing, had she been honest with her family, her brother might not have thought of taking risks."

Xia Wanqing certainly has money. Although not comparable to a second-generation rich kid or a first-generation entrepreneur, she can surely ensure her family's lifelong comfort.

Sometimes pretending to be poor might not be a good thing.

Of course.

Xia Wanqing isn't pretending; there's a reason and unspeakable secret.

As a genuine top-notch entertainer, Pei Yunxi should have wild imaginations even regarding Pei Linhan. If she transfers a large amount of money home, one can only imagine how her family would speculate.

"This is a bottomless pit, they'll never release him no matter how much money is sent."

"She understands that, if money could really save him, she wouldn't be this anxious."

Luo Peng said: "After learning her brother went missing, her parents immediately called the police, but what use is it for overseas issues, the police couldn't help. Legitimately, they had no alternative but to transfer ransom, yet those people in Myanmar are greedy hyenas, never satisfied, perpetually wanting more."

"Perhaps, this may be your opportunity."

Jiang Chen suddenly said.

Luo Peng unsurprisingly felt confused, "What do you mean?"

"If you handle this well and help rescue him, you'll no longer have worries about Xia Wanqing's family."

Luo Peng was caught off guard, unexpected, "Is this the time for jokes, my dear Boss Jiang, can you be serious? You know the situation there in Myanmar, those beasts are crazed, capable of anything, completely inhumane, people could actually die."
