Chapter 424 — We're Going Too

But now, hearing Xiao Qing say this, she felt rather regretful. That place was Sun Jie's turf; her own relationship with Sun Jie was not exactly close, but not unfamiliar either—she had eaten with her a few times alongside Sister Xiao Qing. So had Zhou Yanning known earlier, she would certainly have gone. After all, it would be Sun Jie hosting her, nothing to do with the school; and once they were all playing together, the school could not control that.
"..." Xiao Qing was somewhat speechless. "Jiajia, that resort also has shares belonging to your mother. You... didn't know?"
"Huh?" Zhou Yanning was startled. "My mother's shares?"
"Yes. Sea-Moon is one of the projects your mother developed in partnership with the Donghai Sun family. You didn't know? It was just last year!" Xiao Qing found it a little unbelievable—the Sea-Moon project had shares belonging to Zhou Yanning's family, and Zhou Yanning actually did not know?
"At that time, I was having a conflict with my mother... because of the Yang Juehuan business... so I didn't know what her company was doing either..." Zhou Yanning explained with a bitter smile. "Later, she retired and went traveling with Dad, and I had no interest in looking into what properties their company held, so I just didn't know."
Having said this, Zhou Yanning stuck out her tongue a little sheepishly. "Sister Xiao Qing, now that you've said all this, I regret it even more. Had I known there were Mother's shares in it too, I would have gone no matter what..."
"Heh heh, it's not too late now! Jiajia, do you want to go? How about we go too?" Seeing Zhou Yanning's disappointment, Xiao Qing suggested. Their research was nearing its end anyway; there was no need to stay in the lab every day.
"Us? Go now?" Hearing Xiao Qing's words, Zhou Yanning was instantly tempted. "Can we?"
"Let me give Sun Jie a call and ask." Xiao Qing said, and took out her phone, dialing Sun Jie's number.
Sun Jie answered quickly. "Hello, Qingqing? What made you think to call me? You should be in the research room at this hour, shouldn't you?"
"Heh, can't I call you just because I've finished my work?" Xiao Qing laughed. "Jiajia and I want to go to your Sea-Moon Resort. Well? Are we welcome?"
"Even if I didn't welcome you, I'd have to welcome Jiajia! Sea-Moon has Jiajia's shares, after all. When Aunt Hua left, she transferred all her shares to Jiajia's name—only this major shareholder has never once come to inspect her property in Donghai!"
"Heh heh, all right then, we'll head over now! Oh, by the way, Chen Shutang and Lin Yanhe went there today too..." Xiao Qing hesitated a moment before saying, "Our school's Economics Department activity is at your hotel, and Zhao Ying went as well!"
"Oh? I really didn't know that—the hotel manager must have handled the booking. I'm still at the head office!" Sun Jie said. "Since that's the case, I'll come over and join the fun too! Are you coming over now?"
"Sure! Let's share a room—then we can go find Zhao Ying together." Xiao Qing said. "We'll head over now, then."
"No problem. I'll come over as soon as I finish these few documents on hand. That kid Tian Yan is still a bit green—Third Uncle and I have to keep an eye on him..." Sun Jie said somewhat helplessly. "See you in a bit!"
"Done!" Xiao Qing hung up and said to Zhou Yanning, "Let's go—we're heading over now!"
And so Xiao Qing and Zhou Yanning, too, set out on the road to Donghai... Several girls were about to meet in Donghai...
