"We've just arrived. Xingzhi is back too. We came back to celebrate the New Year!" Jiang Yao threw the dogstail grass outside the door and laughed with her hands on her waist. "Are you hiding during the day and acting like a bat at night? Mom said that you only come home at midnight all the time. What did you do? Did you secretly go to look for Yang Gaoshu?"

"I haven't seen her since Eldest Brother got married. She came to see me a few times, but I haven't seen her," Jiang Lei quickly explained. "I just went to play mahjong with my friends who're back on vacation."

"Don't tell me you're gambling?" Jiang Yao thought that Jiang Lei would not have fallen into gambling because of his previous problem.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Lei raised his eyelids and rolled his eyes at Jiang Yao. "Do you think I'm so useless?"

"That's the case with Yang Gaoshu." Jiang Yao nodded seriously.

"Don't talk about her." Jiang Lei sighed. He had to give in to Jiang Yao. If he did not explain it clearly, with her personality, she might really get to the bottom of it, so he resigned himself to his fate and explained it to her. "I've been thinking about doing some business for the past few days. The profits of my factory are getting worse. It's either that factory or this factory all day long. I'm getting a fixed salary. It's meaningless."

After he said that, Jiang Lei told Jiang Yao to go out and told her that he needed to change his clothes. Jiang Yao waited for Jiang Lei at the door for three minutes before he got dressed and came out. "My friends are in the tea business," he said as he followed her to the central room. "They're all in the north. They've made quite a lot of money in the past two years. I played mahjong with them and asked them how they did business so I can learn from them. So don't look at me like I'm only playing mahjong. I'm actually trying to do business."

Jiang Yao was stunned. She was a little surprised. She did not expect that Jiang Lei would want to do business after he ended his previous relationship.

The only difference was that he used to be in the business too. He did business from the north to the south and from the south to the north. Later, he simply began trading in exports. It seemed like he was eyeing the tea business.

"Are you planning to go to the north to do the tea business?" Jiang Yao thought that it was a good idea. "Tea from the south is especially popular in the whole country and the whole world. I agree with your idea! If you want to go to the north, I recommend you go to Yuan City, Jindo City, and Jin City!"

Yuan City is basically under Lu Xingzhi's control, while Jin City and Jindo City were basically under the control of Lu Xingzhi's brothers. Therefore, if Jiang Lei wanted to go to those three places, he could make use of Lu Xingzhi's connections. If Jiang Lei wanted to start a business, it would definitely be as smooth as flowing water.

Jiang Lei initially thought that Jiang Yao would think of him like his parents, who believed that he would only mess around if he did not do anything significant. He did not expect that Jiang Yao would actually agree and even give him advice.

"Yaoyao, are you serious?" Jiang Lei was suspicious. "I told you, I'm not joking with you. I'm seriously considering this matter. If I think it's feasible, I will quit my current job after the New Year and go to the north to explore."

"Who is joking with you?" Jiang Yao nodded. "I really do think that your idea is excellent. Young people should have the spirit to explore. What if you'll have a bright future in two years?"

"As expected of my younger sister. I didn't waste my effort in doting on you! If I really make a name for myself, I will buy you whatever you want." Jiang Lei smiled happily. She was the second person in his family to support him after he proposed going to the north to do business.
