Chapter 253: Cooperation

Wang Xu’s parents’ sudden appearance made Fang Ya realize that she needed to prepare life plans for the ones beside her.

They could not remain as sidekicks by her side for the rest of their lives. They deserved better.

Fang Ya immediately made a decision. She wanted to help Wang Xu find a position of her own and start a new life.

Previously, Fang Ya had already discovered Wang Xu’s investment talent. The next step was how to harness such an ability.

Fang Ya had previously looked for Chu Qi to talk about working together. Now, Wang Xu could join in.

Having made up her mind, Fang Ya dragged Wang Xu to the old house after having breakfast early in the morning.

When they arrived at the old house, they saw the large woman busy cleaning Fang Ya’s yard.

She had not expected Fang Ya to suddenly come. She was startled. “Eh? Why are you here?”

Fang Ya smiled and said, “How has Chu Qi been these past two days? Any news?”

Fang Ya did not directly go to Chu Qi. Instead, she chatted with the large woman.

The large woman was well-known for being the walking information booth. If anyone had any news, they would get it from her first.

She held the broom and stood in place. She thought for a moment and said, “Speaking of which, it’s strange.

“After your first visit, that boy has come to my house every now and then to ask about you,” the large woman said with a frown.

“What exactly?” Fang Ya asked curiously.

“Nothing much. He just wants to know where you came from and what you did before…” the large woman said with a slight frown.

“It’s strange. Why would he suddenly be so concerned?!” she said and sighed.

“Well, two days ago, his mother came to look for me. She was afraid that this child had developed some strange disease!” The large woman shrugged helplessly.

“Just a few days ago, he had been so secluded and locked himself in the room. Now, he is so curious about you…” the large woman said and looked at Fang Ya strangely.

“What did you say to him?” The large woman could not help but ask.

Fang Ya smiled and said, “I just talked to him about something he was interested in.”

“Then, has he been at home recently?” Fang Ya asked again.

The large woman nodded and said, “If nothing has changed, he should be at home now.”

Fang Ya thanked the large woman and led Wang Xu to Chu Qi’s house.

This time, Chu Qi’s parents were also at home.

Chu Qi’s mother opened the door and saw that it was Fang Ya. Her expression became a little strange.

Fang Ya did not mind it. She only smiled at Chu Qi’s mother and said, “Ma’am, I wish to see Chu Qi. Is he here?”

Chu Qi’s mother replied with a hum and moved aside to let Fang Ya and the others in. “He’s here alright! I’ll go and call him out!”

Chu Qi’s mother entered Chu Qi’s room and soon heard a loud scolding coming from inside. “Do you think it’s appropriate for a woman to casually enter your room?!”

“Quick! Out you go! If you have anything to say, say it outside!” Chu Qi’s mother growled in dissatisfaction.

Wang Xu turned and looked at Fang Ya somewhat awkwardly.

Fang Ya seemed to have already expected this situation and showed no reactions.

Chu Qi walked out of the room and saw Fang Ya. He smiled and said, “You’re here.”

Fang Ya nodded slightly and said, “Have you thought about it?”

Chu Qi took a few steps forward and said, “I agree! But I also have a request…”

Fang Ya smiled and asked, “What would that be?”

Chu Qi pondered for a moment and said, “I want autonomy!”

“I can help you with the analysis, but if it involves investment, I want my own autonomy!” Chu Qi requested.

Chu Qi’s mother stood to the side, watching the two of them.

She looked puzzled, as if she did not understand what they were talking about.

Fang Ya smiled at Chu Qi and said, “No problem! I’ll sponsor the investment.”

“I only have one rule…” Fang Ya walked toward Chu Qi with a smile on her face. “You can only earn, but you can’t lose!”

This seemingly harsh request did change Chu Qi’s expression in the slightest. In fact, his face even showed a desire to win.

“Don’t worry! That will never happen!” Chu Qi said confidently.

Fang Ya stretched out her hand and smiled at Chu Qi. “Happy working with you!”

Chu Qi also stretched out his hand and shook Fang Ya’s hand. “Happy working with you!”

Wang Xu looked at the two of them from left and right. She was a little confused.

Wang Xu heard everything they said, but she only understood half of it.

Fang Ya turned her head to look at Wang Xu and smiled at her while tilting her head.

Wang Xu was stunned for a moment. She did not understand what she meant.

Fang Ya pouted in the direction where the two of them were shaking hands.

Wang Xu stretched out a finger and pointed at herself. She looked at Fang Ya with a puzzled expression.

Fang Ya nodded but did not say a word.

Wang Xu reached out and placed her hand on their hands.

Fang Ya smiled with satisfaction and said, “From now on, my business will be yours!”

Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya in surprise, as if she had not expected herself to be pulled into Fang Ya’s business.
