Chapter 801: Li Yi’s Plan!

"Uh-huh, I got it." Zhu Zhibin nodded to show he had remembered.

"Is the money enough?" Zhu Yanyi asked.

Zhu Zhibin nodded again. "It’s enough. There isn’t much to spend it on here anyway. Brother Yan took care of my meal tickets and phone cards. I can’t buy much at the small shops. Lately, I’ve mostly spent money on study materials. But most of those were given to me by my master. I only bought a few extra ones that he mentioned but didn’t need himself."

"Buying materials is important. Here, take another four hundred yuan. Let me know if you need more." Zhu Yanyi took a stack of ten-yuan bills from her bag and handed them to Zhu Zhibin. "Keep the money safe. Spend it where it’s needed. Don’t save up unnecessarily."

Zhu Zhibin took the money without refusing. "Sister, please don’t bring me so much money next time. This four hundred yuan will last me a year."

"Nonsense. Prices in Beijing are much higher than back home. Four hundred won’t last long. Aren’t you entering the international math competition? You’ll need to buy more materials and supplies then. So, don’t pinch pennies." Zhu Yanyi knew Zhu Zhibin was careful with money, but she still felt the need to remind him.

Zhu Zhibin raised an eyebrow slightly, then nodded. He put the money into his inner pocket. "Alright. Since you’re giving it to me, I’ll take it. Sister, I’m planning to use these four hundred yuan as capital to invest."

A nine-year-old boy talking about investing left Zhu Yanyi speechless. Indeed, the world of geniuses was not something ordinary people could understand.

"You’re just a child. What are you going to invest in?" Zhu Yanyi asked in surprise. "Besides, aren’t you studying math? How does that connect to economics?"

"I’m majoring in math, but I’m also studying economics on the side," Zhu Zhibin said naturally, with a look on his face that said, Are you really that slow?

Zhu Yanyi paused. Well, this child’s abilities were off the charts. She couldn’t compete with that. Since she couldn’t, she would just let things take their natural course. That was Zhu Yanyi’s personality. She never tried to suppress a child’s nature, especially her own blood relative. As long as the child had their own ideas and didn’t go astray, she would support them.

In her previous life, she had watched her nephew grow up slowly after losing her father. She had only assisted her slightly, mostly with financial help.

That child had been cautious since childhood and never went astray. Later, he chose a normal college for teacher training. When he was about to graduate, the local requirement for teachers became a bachelor’s degree. So, he worked hard to pass the exam to upgrade from a junior college to a bachelor’s degree. It took five years of study in total. Finally, he became a teacher. Although his life was plain, without great wealth, it was peaceful.

At that time, the only thing Zhu Yanyi could do was help her when she faced financial difficulties. She didn’t interfere with other things, including her college application choices. She would only analyze the current situation with her, never forcing her to make any specific decision.

Now, it was her younger brother’s turn. Since she liked this way of learning, she wouldn’t interfere either. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Alright. Go ahead and invest. Is four hundred enough?" To others, four hundred yuan was a huge sum. But to Zhu Yanyi, four hundred yuan was indeed not much.
