Ou Cong reluctantly prepared to return to G City for business opportunities, saddened by leaving his young nephew Jinbao behind. Xia Chuyi encouraged him to seize the moment and return later when the child could form lasting memories. Discussions revealed that Jiang Shuqin would join him there for her senior-year internship, with Ou Cong promising to secure her a good position.

Was Jiang Shuqin, a student at Kyoto University, unable to secure an internship in the Capital City? Was it necessary for her to go to G City?

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Xia Chuyi extended an invitation to Jiang Shuqin to visit the Ou Family, and it was there that the matter was brought up.

Upon hearing the inquiry, Jiang Shuqin responded, “Ou Er is correct; there are indeed more opportunities available over in G City.”

Xia Chuyi found herself rendered speechless, remaining in silence.

Now, Xia Chuyi came to understand that the reason Jiang Shuqin and Ou Cong were so in sync likely stemmed from their shared lack of a certain kind of connection in specific matters!

After a moment of consideration, Xia Chuyi posed a question to Jiang Shuqin, “Does your family know about your intention to pursue an internship in G City? Do they approve?” Xia Chuyi inquired.

“Ha, you aren’t aware of this,” Jiang Shuqin replied swiftly after hearing Xia Chuyi’s question. “Due to my sister’s situation…”

“You know, my sister studied abroad for quite some time, returned, married my brother-in-law not long after, and then departed again.”

“Therefore, when compared to my sister’s circumstances, my simply going to G City is not something my parents are concerned about!” Jiang Shuqin confidently stated.

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi could not help but cast a glance at Jiang Shuqin.

From an outsider's perspective, many things become far clearer.

The reason Jiang Shuqin’s parents gave their approval, it seemed, was because they observed the affection between Jiang Shuqin and Ou Jun?

If the Jiang Family was amenable to her relocating to G City, did this signify their approval of the developing situation between the two individuals?

Upon further reflection, her second brother and Jiang Shuqin appeared to be quite the perfect match, given their mutual understanding.

Coupled with their ambiguous affection, if they were to ultimately end up together, both families would undoubtedly be delighted.

Perhaps it was only Xia Chuyi, with her intimate knowledge of both parties, who harbored concerns.

Then, after contemplating for a brief period, Xia Chuyi suddenly announced, “Shuqin, are you aware that a new movie has just premiered?”

Although Xia Chuyi abruptly shifted the topic, Jiang Shuqin’s interest immediately piqued upon hearing about the movie.

“Are you referring to the one that just had its premiere and is selling out rapidly?” Jiang Shuqin eagerly responded. “I know, I know! Many of my classmates have seen it and say it’s exceptionally good, but the tickets are incredibly difficult to obtain!”

As she spoke, Jiang Shuqin displayed a hint of regret. “I had initially intended to purchase a ticket to see it, but either my class schedule conflicted, or there were simply too many people, preventing me from securing a ticket.”

In this current era, the populace seemed to have a significant deficit in spiritual consumption.

Consequently, even a small amount of entertainment was eagerly embraced by families that were slightly more affluent.

After listening to Jiang Shuqin’s words, Xia Chuyi offered a slight smile and said to her, “If you wish to see it, I can assist you in obtaining tickets, and it will be for an event where movie stars will be personally present.”

“Ahhh, are you talking about the promotional event where the movie stars themselves will attend?” Jiang Shuqin exclaimed before Xia Chuyi could finish her sentence. “I absolutely want to go! I have to go!”

“But can you truly manage to get the tickets?” Jiang Shuqin anxiously inquired. “I’ve heard that tickets for such events are notoriously hard to come by, especially given the attendance of movie stars…”

Were the tickets truly that elusive?

That might be the case for others.

However, one should be aware that Xia Chuyi was among the investors in this particular film.

Indeed, even the event featuring the personal appearance of movie stars was a marketing strategy that had been proposed by Xia Chuyi herself.
