184 Future Plans
He Miao backed away slightly and pushed him out shyly. “It’s time to go back. I’m going to sleep.”
Jing Yan was pushed out of the door by her. He grabbed her hand and said pitifully, “I’ll go back first then. I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”
“Alright,” she said.
“And…” Jing Yan blocked the door that was about to be shut and squeezed through it again, his eyes fixed on He Miao.
“What else is there?” He Miao did not wait for him to continue and looked at him with her head tilted in confusion.
Jing Yan sighed, pulled her into his arms, and smiled helplessly. “This is the time to say good night, you little fool.”
He Miao’s face reddened, and she looked away, but she still managed to spit out two words with a dry throat, “Good night.”
“Good girl.” Jing Yan lowered his head and gave her a peck on the lips before leaving in satisfaction.
The next day, Jing Yan dropped He Miao off at the university gate and saw Li Ming, who had just gotten out of the car. He grabbed He Miao’s hand unhappily and said with a straight face, “I’ve been wearing the rubber band you gave me. Why didn’t you wear the one I gave you?”
He Miao was about to get out of the car when she was caught off guard by his question. She turned to look at him blankly. “That watch is too expensive, so I didn’t wear it to school.”
Jing Yan immediately frowned in dissatisfaction. He wanted to engrave the words “Jing Yan’s exclusive” on her forehead, but she refused to wear the gift because she was afraid of being ostentatious.
He Miao could tell that he was unhappy. She raised her other hand and shook the bracelet on her wrist. “I’m still wearing this. I’ve never taken it off except when I shower.”
She looked at Jing Yan’s strange expression and subconsciously looked out of the window. Seeing a familiar figure disappear around the corner, she turned back helplessly. “Can I leave now?” she asked. “If you don’t leave now, you’ll be late.”
Jing Yan obediently let go of her hand, but his eyes were still wet. It was hard to imagine that a cold president in a suit could exude such a pitiful aura.
He Miao’s heart softened as she patted his head like she was stroking Onion. “Go to work quickly. I’ll message you later.”
Jing Yan was so happy that his eyes were filled with joy. If he had a tail, he would probably be wagging it more happily than Onion.
He Miao closed the car door and walked into the university. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Jing Yan was similar to her Onion. Onion would always be subconsciously guarded against outsiders, but it was closer to Jing Yan than her as the owner.
As long as Jing Yan came, the little guy would definitely throw himself on his lap and ask for a hug.
Could it be that the little fellow had also discovered that Jing Yan, a human, was similar to it?
The more He Miao thought about it, the funnier she found it. She could not help but laugh at her own strange thoughts.
“Goddess, what’s the matter that made you so happy?” Xu Meng put an arm around her shoulder and smiled at the sweetness on her face. She drawled, “It must be because of Jing Yan, right? Quickly tell me, how far have you guys progressed?”
“We’re together.” He Miao openly admitted her relationship with Jing Yan.
Xu Meng’s mouth was wide open in shock. “That Jing Yan is lucky! Goddess, how did you become someone else’s so quickly, leaving me all alone.”
“Don’t be so talkative.” He Miao smirked and looked at her with a red face. “When Li Ming confesses to you, you won’t say that you’re lonely anymore.”
At the mention of this, Xu Meng sighed. “I’m afraid I’ll never have a chance in this life. I’m just an ordinary classmate to him.”
“Don’t be discouraged. I’ll tell you some good news,” He Miao changed the topic and brought up the order at hand. “I’m going to put the perfume in a special box and sell it in fine packaging. This way, we can raise the price and satisfy the customers. I’ve already contacted the manufacturer. When we receive the money for the first batch of perfume, we can register a company.”
“Is the packaging cost expensive? If you need, I have a lot of money in my bank card, you can take it first.” At the mention of business, Xu Meng immediately put away her disappointed expression and began to discuss the business with He Miao seriously.
The two of them chatted all the way to class, still feeling unsatisfied. They secretly passed notes in class and discussed their plans for the future.
A portion of the funds for the production and packaging of the perfume would be paid by Xia Yan, which He Miao had already considered long ago. She would hand over a portion of her shares to Xia Yan and let the Xia family invest in it.
As long as she firmly controlled the majority of the shares in her hands, she would still be the biggest boss behind the scenes. He Miao did not feel like she was at a loss if she just gave up a portion of the dividends to win over a backer with a strong background.
It was not that she had never thought of selling the formulas to earn a start-up capital, but every one of those formulas was her blood, sweat, and tears, and she could not bear to sell them. Moreover, the long-term benefits of the perfume produced from these formulas far exceeded the short-term benefits of selling the formulas themselves.
Other than the necessary professional classes, He Miao spent the rest of her time in the laboratory. When she looked up again, it was already half-past ten in the evening.
