Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!

Chapter 1060 - 529: Something Suspicious

After agreeing on the transaction time, PT vanished.

He truly lives up to the name of a hacker, mysterious and elusive, coming and going without a trace.

When the actual transaction occurs, PT won’t make an appearance either, operating remotely. However, Ren Mingze couldn’t rest easy about this, so he insisted that PT must be present at the scene; an invisible, untouchable person always leaves one unsettled.

Having received so much compensation from the employer, PT, a previously difficult young man, became much more agreeable and would naturally accommodate any request from the employer.

Ren Mingze arranged everything and declined social engagements to return home.

Just as he reached the door, he heard laughter and lively chatter coming from the living room.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, the warm yellow lights cast a soft glow on the three generations of family inside.

Ren Mingze’s lips curled up instinctively; unwilling to disrupt this warmth, he stood in the cold yard watching for a long time.

"Uncle, when did you return?" Gao Yuyue stood at the door, her autumn-shaded eyes quietly gazing at the man standing silently in the yard.

Ren Mingze snapped back to reality: "Been here for a while, thinking in the yard; the cold helps keep one awake."

Unknowingly, his feet had become so numb from the cold that they lost feeling.

The girl’s eyes grew deeper in the dark night, yet the smile on her lips became even gentler: "Is uncle’s foundation facing issues?"

Ren Mingze walked up the steps, reaching out to gently rub the top of Gao Yuyue’s head, just like he had done countless times when she was young.

This time, however, Gao Yuyue naturally stepped away, leaving Ren Mingze’s hand hanging in the air, causing him to wrinkle his brow subconsciously.

Gao Yuyue crouched down to rub the golden retriever dozing beside the railing, as if not noticing the man’s awkwardness behind her.

Ren Mingze retracted his hand with a smile: "How could it be, everything Uncle faces will be handled well."

"Grandma’s health isn’t well; Uncle, please don’t let Grandma worry."

Ren Mingze smiled: "I understand."

After speaking, Ren Mingze raised his foot towards the living room, but stopped after two steps as if suddenly remembering something, and turned back.

"Your classmate Shen You’an, do you still keep in touch recently?"

With her back to Ren Mingze, Gao Yuyue’s eyes flickered subtly, remaining composed as she spoke: "Why?"

"I saw it on the trending topics and only then learned about her incredibly complex background, quite difficult, isn’t it? By the way, is she really a cousin to Amos?"

It turned out that the last question was his main point.

"I don’t know. An’an never talks to me about these things, but I did hear her mention on the phone that Amos will be coming to Qingzhou for an inspection soon."

Ren Mingze immediately perked up and asked: "What time? What project is he inspecting?"

Gao Yuyue shook her head: "That I really don’t know, but Qingzhou currently only has a few projects with significant investment value. Uncle’s foundation’s newest financial investment projects appear promising; not sure if they can attract Mr. Amos’s interest."

Previously, Ren Mingze hadn’t heard any rumors of Amos’s plan to inspect Qingzhou, evidently because reliable connections made a difference.

Ren Mingze softened his tone: "You’re good friends with An’an, could you ask An’an to help introduce me...?"

"This..." Gao Yuyue thought for a moment and sighed: "I’ll ask An’an then."

"Good Yu’er, if you can help Uncle achieve this, whatever wish you have, Uncle will fulfill for you."

Gao Yuyue smiled slightly: "I’m always happy to help Uncle."

Seeing Ren Mingze eagerly head into the living room, the smile on Gao Yuyue’s face suddenly disappeared completely, turning expressionless as she turned back to rub the golden retriever’s soft head.

"In this world, there’s never a shortage of ungrateful people."

——

The news of Amos coming to Qingzhou for inspection spread quickly, causing an uproar in Qingzhou’s business community.

This obscure, remote town of Qingzhou somehow got lucky enough to catch Amos’s attention.

It’s widely known that Amos’s fingers hold the magical power to turn everything he touches to gold; getting a project he favors is only a matter of time before it takes off.

Thus, to gain Amos’s favor, all of Qingzhou’s major business leaders started putting in their utmost effort to display creativity, while Ren Mingze, leveraging the advantage of his niece being a close friend of Shen You’an, learned of the flight number of Amos’s arrival in Qingzhou.

Ren Mingze personally went to the airport to greet him, and upon hearing the news, others eagerly followed suit. Despite a group of industry moguls waiting at the airport for half the day, even an hour after the flight landed, Amos’s figure remained elusive.

Ren Mingze’s patience ran thin, prompting him to dial Gao Yuyue for an inquiry.
