Chapter 189 - 75: Five Courses, Youjiang Jewelry’s Zhou Yu

"Miss Jiang, I hope I’m not disturbing you."

She had just woken up when she received a call from Cao Wenzhou.

Jiang Li yawned. "Manager Cao, is something the matter?"

Shen Yanzhi, who had been nearby jotting down notes about her pregnancy, quickly tossed his notebook aside, got up, and brought the warm milk from the side table to Jiang Li’s lips.

Jiang Li glanced at Shen Yanzhi, took the glass, and sipped it tentatively. Finding the temperature just right, she tilted her head back and drank it all in one go.

Cao Wenzhou gave an awkward laugh. "It’s nothing major, really. It’s just that a CEO I know would like to meet you. I was wondering if I might have the honor of arranging a meeting."

Jiang Li was about to refuse, but with the words on the tip of her tongue, she thought, ’If I don’t have the system in the future, it would be good to get to know a few more executives.’ "Okay, no problem. You arrange the time."

Hearing her affirmative reply, Cao Wenzhou let out a sigh of relief. He had expected to be rejected and was surprised she agreed so readily.

"Great. I’ll arrange the time and place and send you a message."

"No problem."

After Jiang Li hung up, Shen Yanzhi asked tentatively, "Who was that?"

Jiang Li stretched lazily. "No one important. Just a bank manager who says he wants to introduce me to a CEO."

With that, she threw off the covers, got out of bed, glanced at her fully charged phone, and placed it facedown on the nightstand. She left him with a single sentence, "I want to eat luosifen," then turned and went into the bathroom.

Watching Jiang Li’s retreating figure, Shen Yanzhi shook his head helplessly. He then called Xie Wan. "Have the kitchen prepare two bowls of luosifen, mild-spicy, and two fried eggs."

What Jiang Li wants, Jiang Li gets.

After washing up and changing, she came downstairs to the dining room. Seeing the luosifen already prepared, Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. There are fried eggs, too."

Shen Yanzhi chuckled. "I know you like them, so I had the kitchen make them specially."

Jiang Li gave him a thumbs-up. "Nice. Keep it up."

It was impressive that Shen Yanzhi even remembered.

Just as she finished eating, a message came from Cao Wenzhou. The meeting was set for 11 a.m. at the Jinzhou Restaurant.

Jiang Li turned to Shen Yanzhi. "Do you want to come with me for lunch?"

Shen Yanzhi was a little surprised. "Is that convenient?"

Jiang Li blinked, confused. "Why wouldn’t it be?"

’It’s just a meal. It’s not like we’re doing anything else.’

Meeting Jiang Li’s gaze, Shen Yanzhi’s Adam’s apple bobbed. "If it’s convenient, then it would be rude to refuse."

Cao Wenzhou’s call must have sparked something, because Jiang Li couldn’t help but wonder if she should learn some new skills.

’Otherwise, what will I do in the future without the system? How will I handle the huge expense of the mercenaries? What about the foundation’s expenses, and employee salaries?’

’I might as well use the money I have now to learn a few skills.’

But she didn’t know of any platforms for it. After thinking for a while, she ended up asking Xie Wan to make the arrangements.

Less than half an hour after she told Xie Wan, everything was arranged.

Xie Wan had scheduled five courses for Jiang Li: finance, jewelry design, fashion design, architectural design, and AI engineering.

They were all courses that weren’t too taxing, which would be very manageable for her during her pregnancy.

Right after enrolling in the courses, Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi drove to the Jinzhou Restaurant.

When they arrived at the private room, Cao Wenzhou and the CEO were already seated and waiting.

Seeing them arrive, Cao Wenzhou immediately stood up. "Miss Jiang, let me introduce you. This is the founder of Youjiang Jewelry, Zhou Yu."

Jiang Li was a bit surprised. She had always heard that the owner of Youjiang was very old, but he was so young.

He looked to be in his early thirties, dressed in a royal blue suit, with his hair slicked back. He wore a pair of white-framed glasses.

She withdrew her gaze and linked her arm with Shen Yanzhi’s. "My husband, Shen Yanzhi."

Shen Yanzhi wrapped an arm around Jiang Li’s waist, a smile on his face. "Mr. Zhou, a pleasure."

’Looks like I’ll have to go out with Jiang Li more often if I want to hear her call me husband.’

Zhou Yu stood up as well. "Miss Jiang, Mr. Shen."

Cao Wenzhou gestured for everyone to sit. "Please, have a seat. Don’t just stand there."

After Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi were seated, Zhou Yu fixed his gaze on Jiang Li. "I’ve long heard from Cao that Miss Jiang was young. Now that I see you, I find you’re not only young but also very beautiful."

Jiang Li paused for a moment, then replied with a faint smile, "You’re too kind, Mr. Zhou."

’No, seriously, is this guy sick in the head?’

’Complimenting me like that right in front of Shen Yanzhi? Is he just invisible?’

But what she was more curious about was why Zhou Yu wanted to meet her.

After all, Youjiang’s daily revenue was in the tens of billions. He couldn’t be short on cash, right?

Cao Wenzhou looked from Zhou Yu to the couple, Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi, and cheerfully tried to smooth things over. "It’s almost time for lunch. Why don’t we order first?"
