Seeing Hu Tao's appearance, Takumi immediately became vigilant.
"As the saying goes, if you don't come for no reason, you either want to rob or steal."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
To be honest, Hu Tao being this enthusiastic made Takumi unable to believe that she simply wanted to treat him to a meal.
There had to be something else.
Otherwise, she would not be this kind.
Moreover, she rushed forward and even pulled Takumi back.
There must be something she wanted Takumi to do.
Being vigilant first was the right move.
Seeing Takumi's reaction, Hu Tao immediately became unhappy.
"What do you mean?"
"It's like I only look for you when I have something to do."
"Can't I just be happy because I haven't seen you for a long time?"
Who do you take me for, Director Hu?
Am I really that kind of person in your eyes?
Slander, this is pure slander.
Hu Tao was very unhappy.
"No!"
"We just met not long ago."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Takumi replied mercilessly.
A long time?
That didn't count as long at all.
They had just run into each other recently.
What was she thinking?
She might forget, but he wouldn't.
Hu Tao puffed out her cheeks.
"Let's go!"
"Go inside and eat first."
Fine, since that's how it is.
Let's be honest.
I really do have something to ask you.
As a person, sincerity still matters.
So let me treat you to a meal first.
Hearing this, Takumi curled his lips.
He knew it.
Otherwise, this girl wouldn't be so considerate.
There was a wave of complaints in his heart.
But Takumi still did not refuse her invitation.
He entered Xiangling's shop together with Hu Tao.
The two of them went straight into a private room.
After ordering the dishes, Takumi looked at Hu Tao.
"Say it."
"What's going on?"
Hearing Takumi's words, Hu Tao laughed.
"Well, aren't you planning to develop the layered rock abyss?"
"So I was thinking, can I invest some money?"
"After all, I still have some spare cash right now…"
That's right.
Hu Tao wanted to get more inside information.
After all, many things were decided by Takumi.
Asking him directly was the right move.
Takumi looked at Hu Tao speechlessly.
"Are you sure you call that spare money?"
"And not extremely rich?"
To be fair, Hu Tao could already be considered one of the richest women in Liyue.
Not even counting the business of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor,
Just the insurance business alone made her an astonishing amount of money last year.
Dividends distributed were already in the hundreds of millions.
So how much money do you think Hu Tao, the largest shareholder, earned?
Therefore, this was not spare money at all.
She was simply very rich.
A true Liyue wealthy woman.
It could only be said that she really lived up to the title of someone who owned her own airport at a young age.
Far too rich.
"Just made a little money."
"Just small money~"
"Isn't it useless sitting there anyway?"
"So I thought I might as well invest it."
"I heard the layered rock abyss has great prospects."
"So I wanted to ask, what exactly are your plans for it?"
"That way, it'll be easier for me to invest."
As she said this, Hu Tao smiled brightly.
She only had a bit of money.
What was the big deal?
She could still pull out more than ten billion.
Takumi looked at Hu Tao silently.
"If you're not afraid of waiting, you can invest."
"I'll tell you this much."
"The layered rock abyss will be developed sooner or later."
"And the development will be very unique."
"Weiwei might even be in charge of that area."
"So if you invest, you won't lose."
Since she wanted to know, Takumi didn't mind telling her.
He explained things plainly.
Hearing Takumi's words, Hu Tao's eyes immediately lit up.
"Oh?"
"Really?"
"If that's the case, then I won't hold back."
Hu Tao finally felt relieved.
"What are you planning to invest in?"
Takumi became curious instead.
Did Hu Tao already have a specific plan?
"Real estate!"
"Of course, I'll build houses and then sell them."
"Building houses makes a lot of money."
"No one's doing it yet, so I'll take the lead."
"And I can run advertisements at the same time."
"Funeral services and insurance, all-in-one."
"Wangsheng Funeral Parlor will handle everything."
"From birth to insurance, all the way to death."
"All services in one package."
"If I launch something like this, do you think people will buy it?"
While talking, Hu Tao actually began thinking seriously.
She seemed extremely interested in the idea.
Takumi fell silent.
Good grief.
Truly impressive.
From the moment someone is born, you're already planning their funeral?
Birth, insurance, housing, death.
So you never plan to leave Wangsheng Funeral Parlor at all.
It could be said that from the moment someone is born,
Their entire life and afterlife have already been arranged.
What kind of thinking is this?
Are you Liyue's King of the Underworld?
At this moment, Takumi looked at Hu Tao with a strange expression.
Being stared at like this made Hu Tao feel uncomfortable.
"What?"
"What's with that look?"
Hu Tao was confused.
Was there something wrong with what she said?
Takumi sighed.
"If you say something like that out loud, someone will probably chase you away with a broom."
"Deciding someone's entire life from birth."
"Only you would dare to say something like that."
Takumi truly admired Hu Tao's way of thinking.
All he could say was that she really dared to imagine things.
Hu Tao blinked.
She genuinely didn't understand what the problem was.
While the two fell silent, the dishes were served.
"Takumi, Hu Tao."
"The food is ready!"
It was Xiangling who came in.
After hearing that it was Takumi and Hu Tao eating,
Xiangling personally brought the dishes over.
She even added a few extra items.
They could eat together later.
When Hu Tao saw Xiangling, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Xiangling!!"
"Hey, Guoba, long time no see."
Hu Tao greeted Xiangling and Guoba enthusiastically.
As one of Hu Tao's few close friends,
She liked Xiangling very much.
And Xiangling was fun to be around.
It was just that Guoba occasionally jumped up and hit people.
"Hehe~"
"Today I'll eat with you."
"Takumi, about that thing you mentioned before."
"Have you already started preparing it?"
In fact, Xiangling mainly came over because of the snack factory.
Although Takumi had said before that he would build one,
There hadn't been much news afterward.
The recipes had already been handed over to Takumi.
But beyond that, he hadn't mentioned anything.
Now that Takumi was here, she decided to ask directly.
On the side, Hu Tao was full of confusion.
What was going on between these two?
Why did it feel like she was missing something?
What exactly was happening?
