"When will you finish dealing with the matters in the Guan city?" Jackson took a sip of the juice and
asked Eric.
Hearing this, Eric ate the fruit fed by Amanda and looked up at Jackson with an unbelievable look in his
eyes. He calmed down immediately. Since his grandfather asked, it meant that he was relieved and
agreed to go back to the Guan city first, instead of insisting on leaving him here.
After thinking for a while, Eric replied, "It's not sure, but I'll do it as soon as possible."
"Okay." Jackson nodded, "I'll give you half a year. Whether you can deal with the Gu family's affairs
well or not, you have to go back to G city. You can't always run around."
Eric had planned to buy some more time so that he could make it as soon as possible, but he didn't
expect that Jackson would set a time limit. Half a year was enough for him to deal with the affairs of the
Gu family, but girl…
Half a year later, she went to high school. She still had something to deal with in the Qiao family. At that
time, she would definitely not come here with him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jackson's face flashed with displeasure. "Half a year is enough. It
won't take so much time to deal with the Gu family's affairs. And the half a year I give you is just the
time for you to finish your high school study in the Guan city."
"Grandfather..." Eric said with a frown, "I know how to deal with many things, but I don't want you to
restrict me. Since I have promised to take over the company, I will definitely try my best to run it well
and won't let it lose in my hands."
"I believe you can run the company well, but I don't want you to be distracted." Jackson insisted.
"Besides, I plan to send you abroad to study for a few years. It will be more helpful for your future if you
stay abroad. That's why I let you stay in G city and didn't stop you from contacting that city. Besides,
that city is also your family. Grandpa is not that unreasonable."
Hearing the word "go abroad", Eric felt even more uneasy. He had never thought of going abroad. If he
went abroad, it meant that he really lived in two places with Lily. This feeling was not good.
Seeing that the two people were in an awkward situation again, Amanda looked at her husband and
said, "Eric is still young. Don't push him so hard. Take it easy. Look, how many children of other people
have to take care of their own business while going to school?"
"Noble did so in the past." Jackson glanced at Amanda discontentedly, "Look at him. Isn't he running
his business well now? He doesn't even like my company. He doesn't even want to give it to him for
free."
"Noble's situation is different. He was in college at that time." Amanda cast a reproachful glance at him
and continued, "Eric is still in high school. He has a lot of work to do. You don't have to put too much
pressure on him. Let him make his own plans. I believe that he can handle everything well."
"You are spoiling him." Jackson said helplessly.
He couldn't refute Amanda, but what she said made sense.
Amanda just smiled and said, "Eric is my grandson. Who else can I spoil except him? The Sun family
still had to rely on him in the future. Noble had his own career and had a strong wing. He seldom went
home. What's more, Sherry is a wild woman. I can't see her all day long. Now that Eric has finally come
back, I don't want you to scare him away again."
"Okay, okay. Now it's your best Eric." Jackson looked at his wife dotingly.
"Of course." Amanda said in a somewhat arrogant tone. She turned to look at Eric lovingly. Seeing that
he was still frowning, she couldn't help reaching out to touch his face, and there was a hint of ridicule in
her tone.
"Look, how beautiful my Eric is! I don't know how many girls he will fall in love with when he grows up.
At that time, the girls who take the initiative to come to him will probably trample on the threshold."
"Grandma." Hearing Amanda's words, Eric couldn't help blushing. He turned to look at her and said,
"Don't laugh at me. I have..."
Subconsciously, he was about to speak out Lily's name, but when he was about to say it, he
immediately stopped. It was not suitable to talk about love at this age. If he said it out… Thinking of
this, Eric subconsciously glanced at Eric. He guessed that he would be scolded directly. More seriously,
it would be more difficult for him and his girl to go on living together!
Well, it seemed that he had to remind them not to tell anyone about the existence of the girl, or the
consequences might be beyond his imagination.
"Well, do you have a girl you like?" Amanda asked jokingly.
"Yes." Eric nodded. It was too obvious just now, so he had to admit it.
Amanda's eyes twinkled. She looked at the direction of Jackson subconsciously and found that his face
was not good. Before he opened his mouth, she spoke first with a joking tone, "Tell Grandma which girl
she is. I can also go to see her and see if she is good enough for our Eric."
"I don't know." Eric answered indifferently.
"You don't know?" Amanda raised her eyebrows subconsciously and smiled, "Eric, do you have a
secret crush on her?"
An unnatural look flashed across Eric's face. He nodded and said, "Yes, she likes someone else. I don't
want to disturb her."
"That girl is so unlucky. She doesn't like our Eric." Amanda was still joking, but she was secretly
relieved. She looked at Jackson again and found that he was also secretly relieved and his face
returned to normal.
Eric, of course, sensed the difference in her tone, and even saw the secret communication between her
and grandfather. He was glad that he didn't tell her just now. They really didn't approve of his falling in
love at this time.
"But, Eric..." Amanda continued, "Your grandfather is right. After you finish your high school study, you
can go abroad to study for a few years. You need to know more and broaden your horizon. As for
which country you want to go, it depends on your own choice."
Hearing that her grandmother mentioned going abroad again, Eric knew that it was inevitable for him to
go abroad before he had the ability to deal with everything.
"I know, grandma. I will try my best to grow up quickly."
"Okay." Amanda smiled knowingly and caressed his head lovingly. "Eric is so smart. I believe you can
do everything well."
Eric smiled, but had another plan in his mind.
A week passed quickly.
Lily was having classes quietly at school, while Eric still didn't come back to school. He was busy with
accepting the Sun company in G city.
During the past week, she had been quietly observing Ethan. Except for occasionally asking a few
questions, he was always honest and would not take the initiative to talk to her. The questions he
asked were also related to his study, which made her relax a little vigilance.
As usual, Lily would go to the Qiao company on weekends. Since the new semester began, she went
back to the Joe's house and lived with him.
On Saturday, they had breakfast together. Under the driver's escort, Lily and Joe went to the company.
After arriving at the company, Lily sent Joe to his office and then went to see Emily. The first stage of
the project he cooperated with Ellison last year was over. She wanted to ask about the profit of the
project.
When she walked to the sales department, she happened to meet Bill, who was holding a folder in his
hand. It seemed that he was also going to look for Emily.
"Lily," Seeing Lily, Bill greeted her.
"Bill." Lily replied with a smile, "Are you going to see her too?"
"Yes." He nodded, "Send her a document. It's for today's meeting."
"Well, I'm going to find her too. I'll bring her in."
"Okay, thank you." Bill smiled and handed the folder to Lily, "Then I'll go to do something else."
"Okay." Lily took the folder and nodded. After watching Bill leave, she turned around and walked
towards the office of Emily.
She walked to the door and knocked politely.
"Come in." Emily's capable voice came from the office.
Lily pushed the door open and walked in. Then she closed the door and walked towards the desk.
"Aunt, this is the document that Bill asked me to pass on to you." Lily put the file in front of Emily.
"Lily?" Hearing the voice, she raised her head and said in surprise, "I haven't seen you in the company
for a long time."
Lily smiled. Indeed, she hadn't been to the company for a long time. From the beginning of the new
year, her mother and uncle's wedding would be held after the new year, which delayed her for some
time. After that, she didn't have time for other things. Then the new semester began, so she didn't have
time to come to the company until now.
However, even if she didn't come to the company, she still contacted Emily in private and knew
everything about the company.
"How is the profit of the project we cooperated with the Qi company last time?" Lily sat opposite Emily
and went straight to the point.
"Not bad." Emily replied with a smile, "Except the cost, the net profit is nearly five million."
Lily nodded. Cooperated with Ellison, the profit would be huge. Well, if she could cooperate with Noble,
it would be more perfect. The profit would probably be more.
But she came back to the point. "It seems that we can discuss the next cooperation with the Qi
company."
"I've talked to the person in charge of the Qi company. It will take some time." Emily replied with a
serious look.
"Wait a little longer?" Lily was confused. Ellison had to wait for such a profitable project. What was
going on?
