Chapter 725: Chapter 716: Case Closed

"You could, but we’d need to renovate. We don’t know much about this, but we can hire professionals to do it. Besides, Qing, you have plenty of money!" Shen Yi laughed.

Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing nodded, feeling that Shen Yi made sense. What is money? Does she care about it?

Right now, she just wants to find something to do for herself. After a few years of raising her child, although she has money, she feels she’s becoming out of touch with society.

Fortunately, her little girl is now in elementary school, giving her more time. If she stays home every day, she feels she might get sick from boredom, so it’s better to find something to do.

Shen Yi’s company matters are beyond her, but she has some understanding of beauty services. Even if she doesn’t understand management, she can hire a manager to help her when the time comes.

That’s right; this is how wealthy people start businesses. Don’t know how to do it? No problem, I have money to hire people, and startup capital is not an issue. Overthinking and fearing loss is not a concern.

Simply put, even if she loses this time, to Wen Nanqing, it doesn’t matter, it’s just a drop in the ocean, not even as important as her mood.

The property is hers; at worst, she loses some renovation and labor costs, which is not a big deal for her.

"Alright, then let’s do as you say. I’ll find some people to see if we can recruit some talent!" Wen Nanqing said excitedly.

In response, Shen Yi shook her head and laughed, "Qing, you don’t lack money, or should I say, you’re opening this beauty salon just for fun? As long as you don’t lose money, it’s fine. But you should have a sense of involvement. Otherwise, if you just spend money, what’s the difference from our company?"

"True, should I give it a try myself?"

"Go ahead, no problem. When you run into things you don’t understand, just look for professionals to handle it, take it slowly. You have time. Besides, the restaurant isn’t yours right now. After some time has passed, you can do it. I’m busy too lately!" Shen Yi said.

Hearing this, Wen Nanqing was curious, "Busy? Is our company planning something big again? Or does Xiao Su have a new project? Last time you brought my brother along, could you take me this time? Don’t worry, money isn’t a problem. I’m wealthier than my brother!"

Shen Yi:...

Listen, is this even a thing to say?

But, one must admit, the landlord’s wife isn’t wrong; she is indeed wealthy. Even though Shen Yi herself is quite well-off, compared to Wen Nanqing, she’s far behind, or rather, separated by a generation’s accumulation. Internet fortunes might be explosive, but it’s still short-term.

"No, his three projects haven’t come through yet. I’m planning to visit his home next month, then have him accompany me to visit mine over the Labor Day holiday!" Shen Yi said grudgingly.

Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing widened her eyes, "Wow, are you... taking the next step, preparing to get married?"

"No, just visiting each other’s parents. We’ve been dating for nearly six months. Although half a year isn’t very long, it’s not quite at the marriage discussion, but... I..."

At this point, Wen Nanqing already understood. What else could it be about? Of course, it’s Shen Yi’s age. Su Qing, being young, naturally isn’t rushing. Not just this year; even in four or five years, he’d still be young while Shen Yi, not so much. Once a woman reaches a certain age, things can’t be delayed.

It isn’t a lack of confidence in her appearance but worries about becoming an older mother. Previously, when Shen Yi hadn’t dated anyone, there was nothing to worry about, but people change, and being with Su Qing changed her thoughts quite a bit.

Sometimes she even felt age anxiety. Wen Nanqing totally understood this.

"True, you’re reaching the age to consider marriage. We’ve known Xiao Su for quite a while now, and he’s risen step by step right under our noses. He’s excellent in every aspect, and we know him well, truly a great match. If you miss this one, you probably won’t find another as good. It’s time to seize the opportunity.

As an older sister, don’t be reserved; speak up when needed. I see Xiao Su isn’t the type to be fickle with money. Settle this early, so your parents can also rest easy!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi, unusually for her, didn’t hesitate, seriously considering the matter instead.

"I’ve indeed thought about this. Qing, isn’t it strange? Last year, I barely had thoughts of marriage, yet this year I brought it up with Su Qing myself. I don’t know what’s become of me!"

"What’s strange about that? A man means marriage at a certain age, and in your case, you’re already dating Xiao Su. Getting married is quite normal; nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, you’re not a public figure like Xiao Tang, needing to maintain a single image. If you like him, marry him."

The landlord’s wife isn’t at all bothered by such matters, having gotten married right after graduation.

"Then, Qing, tell me what I should bring when I visit his home next month!"

"Hey, you’ve asked the right person; I’m quite experienced in this area!"

Then, the two of them chatted about it thoroughly before heading to the mall for a shopping spree. Fortunately, Su Qing wasn’t there today, else it’d be physical labor again.

In the afternoon, Su Qing returned and informed Shen Yi that his parents knew she was coming over, and this didn’t elicit much of a response from Shen Yi, so Su Qing thought little of it.

Time passed quickly, and five days later, Su Qing finally received a call from Lin Chengcai, asking him to attend a meeting.

Hearing this, Su Qing knew that the case was likely wrapped up already. He had no regret about not being deeply involved, acknowledging that anti-drug operations are dangerous, and being somewhat of a public figure, any knowledge of his involvement could potentially lead to retaliation.

"You boy finally came! Leaders are preparing for a meeting upstairs; stay sharp, huh?" Zhao Minghui clapped him on the back, nearly knocking the wind out of him.

"Captain Zhao, go easy, go easy! Has it been days now? What’s happening, have they been arrested?" Although he had guessed, he still asked.

As expected, Zhao Minghui laughed heartily at this, "Of course! When I’m on the job, how could it fail? We caught them all. Even our city has been thoroughly cleaned up. You’re part of the Criminal Investigation Department; how could such good news miss you? Am I right or what?"

After saying this, Zhao Minghui wrapped an arm around his shoulder and led him to the office. Along the way, Su Qing noticed that everyone in the bureau wore big smiles, especially those in the Criminal and Drug Departments, where their grins were almost hanging off their faces.

"Wow, Sister Jun, you’re looking sharp today!"

"Of course, I’ve made a mark this time. I might even have to receive an award later!"
