“What are you looking at?”
Zhou Sui'an’s puzzled voice sounded beside her.
“Nothing!”
Zhou Suisui jumped and hurriedly looked away.
Inside the Bentley parked opposite them.
“Bro, stop staring. She’s already gone.”
Jiang Ruitian opened her WeChat payment QR code and held it out in front of Jiang Zongyan, smiling sweetly. “Transfer or scan?”
Jiang Zongyan pressed a hand to his forehead and glanced at his little money-grubber sister.
Then he raised a hand to rub his temples, resignedly took out his phone, and opened the scanner.
Twenty thousand yuan was transferred.
Jiang Ruitian put her phone away with satisfaction. As soon as she received her errand fee, she used it to buy herself a game skin.
“Bro, if you have any more jobs like this, just let me know.”
“…”

Early the next morning.
As soon as Zhou Suisui arrived at the company, she handed the organized documents to Fu Jie.
Fu Jie flipped through them, his eyes widening in astonishment.
“Young Boss Zhou, these… you finished all of this last night?”
“This is three days’ worth of work! You’re incredible!”
Fu Jie looked at Zhou Suisui with complete admiration.
A miracle.
This had to be a miracle.
He knew the young miss was amazing! She was practically a genius!
She even understood the financial side of things!
“Ahem.”
Zhou Suisui smiled awkwardly. “It was nothing.”
There was no way she could tell him that Jiang Zongyan had finished it all in two hours, right?
To be honest, she herself had been stunned when she saw the organized documents after returning home the previous night.
That man’s work efficiency was astonishing.
He was intimately familiar with the processes at every stage, and he had marked every suspicious point.
But when she thought of the methods Zhang Qiming had used, the smile on Zhou Suisui’s face instantly vanished.
“Zhang Qiming has some nerve. Over the past three years, he’s used his position to siphon off a huge amount of money,” Fu Jie said worriedly. “He must have accomplices. There’s no way he could have pulled off so much on his own.”
Zhou Suisui nodded. “Keep this under wraps for now. Watch his every move, but don’t alert him and give him a chance to run.”
“Understood. Don’t worry. I’ll have someone keep a close eye on him.”
Fu Jie glanced at the documents and added, “We absolutely can’t let him handle this project anymore.”
Zhou Suisui, however, gave him an almost wicked smile. “No. Quite the opposite—let him handle it!”
“What?” Fu Jie exclaimed in surprise.
Zhou Suisui said meaningfully, “When he comes asking for the money, tell him the company urgently needs its working capital and ask him to wait.”
Fu Jie immediately understood what she meant.
The two of them would put on a little act.
Zhou Suisui would pretend to approve his investment project, but withhold the money, dangling the promise in front of him and keeping him on the hook.

Thanks to Jiang Zongyan’s help, the work was completed ahead of schedule.
At last, the weekend arrived.
Early in the morning, Zhou Suisui changed into a light-colored athletic outfit and tied her hair into a high ponytail. She looked full of energy.
“Sister Wu, where’s my brother?”
Zhou Suisui came downstairs and immediately asked about Zhou Sui'an.
“At this hour, the young master should have gone to the company, right? I haven’t seen him all morning.”
Cui Wu came out of the kitchen. Seeing how casually Zhou Suisui was dressed, her eyes lit up.
“Miss, are you going out to have fun today?”
“Tiantian and I are going out. If my brother asks, please let him know.”
“All right. Be careful on the way, and stay safe.”
Zhou Suisui had just stepped outside when Jiang Ruitian drove her sports car up to the gate.
“Girl, get in!”
Standing behind the second-floor window, Zhou Sui'an watched Jiang Ruitian get out of the car and felt relieved.
It seemed he really had been overthinking things…
Ever since they had returned from the café that night, the more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
How could Suisui have finished so much work in such a short time?
And when he had sent the photos to Jiang Zongyan, hoping to provoke him a little, the man had replied with nothing but an emoji.
Zhou Sui'an had been rather indignant. So this guy didn’t really care that much about his sister after all.
But there was no way he would believe that Jiang Ruitian could have helped.
When he learned that Zhou Suisui was going out today, he had secretly kept watch from upstairs.
He wanted to see exactly who she was going out with.
He never expected it to really be Jiang Ruitian.

Zhou Suisui got into the car.
Jiang Ruitian said mysteriously, “There’s one more person coming with us. You don’t mind, do you?”
“Who?” Zhou Suisui asked curiously.
“My brother.”
Jiang Ruitian said, “He said he rarely gets time off, so he’s coming hiking with us.”
Zhou Suisui was stunned. “Isn’t your brother a workaholic? He actually has time to come out and play with us?!”
Seeing her astonished expression, Jiang Ruitian said casually, “You need someone to carry the bags and all our stuff when you go out. Just pretend he doesn’t exist and we’ll have fun by ourselves.”
“Uh…”
She really had the nerve to ask Jiang Zongyan, the dignified president of the Jiang Group, to carry their bags and belongings?
Jiang Ruitian sighed. “Suisui, my brother has really fallen for you this time. He never takes time off. The moment he heard he could go out with you, he agreed right away. He even turned down a deal worth hundreds of millions.”
At those words, Zhou Suisui’s heart gave a little flutter.
Thinking about everything Jiang Zongyan had done recently, a bold idea rose uncontrollably in her mind.
Could it be… that he liked her?
This had gone too far!
She awkwardly scratched her forehead. “Tiantian, actually, your brother and I…”
She had only been pretending. They weren’t really in that kind of relationship.
Just as she was about to come clean, Jiang Ruitian’s phone rang, interrupting her.
“Let me take this.”
Jiang Ruitian answered the call, and the smile on her face instantly disappeared.
“All right, all right. Go take care of your business.”
After hanging up, Jiang Ruitian said helplessly to Zhou Suisui, “The person who was supposed to carry our bags has bailed.”
“Huh?”
“My brother can’t come. President Wang just went to the company to see him, so he can’t get away.”
Jiang Zongyan wasn’t coming?
Zhou Suisui paused, then suddenly pulled her lips into a self-mocking smile.
She had actually gotten carried away and assumed that Jiang Zongyan liked her. So she had just been imagining things.
See? Work was still more important to him.
“My brother is unbelievable…” Jiang Ruitian pouted.
At that moment, her phone chimed again.
One hundred thousand yuan had been deposited.
Heartless Big Brother: Forget the hike. Just hang out at the foot of the mountain.
“!!!”
One hundred thousand yuan!!
When had Stingy Big Brother become so generous?

Don’t stop me from talking—I’m going to burst!
