The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang sat behind Xia Lin. Although he didn't deliberately eavesdrop, he still overheard quite a bit of what was going on.

Xia Lin paid Mr. Xu to handle the procedures for studying abroad, but now that the matter is settled, Xia Lin has no money to pay Mr. Xu.

It seems that Charlene's parents secretly used her study abroad money to speculate in stocks and lost it all.

"Mr. Xu, could you please give me a few more days?" Xia Lin pleaded desperately, "I will definitely repay you the 50,000 yuan as soon as possible."

"Hmph! If this drags on any longer, you'll be flying to France by then. Who am I supposed to ask for the money from?" Mr. Xu said coldly. "Three days. I'm only giving you three days. If you don't see the money by then, don't blame me for not showing any consideration for our past relationship."

Upon hearing this, Xia Lin gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Xu, I can't even afford a plane ticket right now, how could I possibly leave?"

Mr. Xu persisted, saying, "How do I know if you're lying to me? I only care about money. If you don't have any money, come work for me to pay off your debt."

Charlene quickly shook her head and said, "No, I will not work at the nightclub again."

Mr. Xu sneered, "Then pay back the money."

Faced with Mr. Xu's coercion, Xia Lin turned pale, but she was helpless.

She could delay paying off other people's debts, but Mr. Xu was no saint, and Xia Lin knew perfectly well what the consequences of owing him money would be.

“Okay,” Charlene said with difficulty, “I will sell the house to pay you back.”

Mr. Xu snorted coldly, "You had better keep your word."

Just then, Hua Zi returned after paying the bill, and Xia Lin finally saw him.

"Hua Zi, what are you doing here?" Xia Lin stood up in a panic, not wanting someone she knew to see her in such a disheveled state.

"Xia Lin, what a coincidence! You're here for tea too." Hua Zi smiled awkwardly and pointed at Wang Gang, saying, "Qiang Zi and I are here to discuss some things."

Xia Lin then realized that Wang Gang was sitting right behind her, and instantly understood that he must have overheard her conversation with President Xu.

Upon seeing Wang Gang, Mr. Xu said warmly, "Mr. Gao, since we've met, let's have a cup of tea together."

Wang Gang smiled, not even glancing at Xia Lin, and said to President Xu, "What a coincidence, we were just about to leave. We'll have tea with President Xu another time."

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Then it's a deal."

Wang Gang understood that the reason President Xu was being so polite was because he knew that Wang Gang had connections with the Liu Group, so he wanted to establish a good relationship.

Charlene stood there helplessly, completely unsure of what to do.

"Hua Zi, let's leave after we pay the bill!" Wang Gang completely ignored Xia Lin and left directly with Hua Zi.

After leaving the teahouse, Wang Gang parted ways with Hua Zi. He drove to Manny's bar, while Hua Zi went to find Pig Head to discuss buying shares.

When Wang Gang arrived at the bar, Manny was already there and was packing her things, as was Yang Xiaoyun.

After losing her job, Yang Xiaoyun followed Mi Lai's advice and applied for a job as Manny's assistant at the Liu Group. After the interview and with Mi Lai's recommendation, Yang Xiaoyun officially became Manny's assistant.

Yang Xiaoyun also helped with the sale of the bar.

"Gao Qiang, you've come at the right time. These are my personal belongings. Could you please move them to the car?" Manny said, pointing to several boxes as she saw Wang Gang arrive.

"Okay." Wang Gang held out his hand and said, "Give me the car keys."

Yang Xiaoyun said, "I have the car keys, let's move them together."

Wang Gang nodded and picked up the largest box.

Yang Xiaoyun picked up a small box and followed Wang Gang out of the bar, while Manny stayed in the office to pack her things.

Wang Gang and Yang Xiaoyun put their things in the car. Yang Xiaoyun said, "Gao Qiang, Sister Manny is treating the bar staff to dinner later. Do you want to come along?"

"Of course we'll go together!" Wang Gang laughed. "Don't drink later, Manny will probably need you to drive her home." Yang Xiaoyun smiled and said, "I know, I won't drink a drop."

Wang Gang looked at Yang Xiaoyun and asked, "Are you getting used to your job?"

Yang Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Of course I'm used to it! Sister Manny takes good care of me, and besides, my salary is double what it used to be. I will definitely cherish this job opportunity."

Wang Gang and Yang Xiaoyun walked and talked, and soon returned to Manny's side to help her pack her things.

The three of them worked together very efficiently, and soon they had packed all of Manny's personal belongings into the car.

Looking at the empty office, Manny felt a pang of emotion.

Wang Gang put his arm around Manny's shoulder and asked, "Have you found a buyer yet? Otherwise, I'll buy the bar, and you can come back and visit sometime."

Just as Manny was about to speak, Chunxiao appeared at the door and said with a smile, "Gao Qiang, don't try to take it from me. Sister Manny just agreed to sell the bar to me."

Wang Gang was stunned; he never expected that the person who bought the bar would be Chunxiao.

"So you're the new boss! Will I get a discount when I come for drinks in the future?" Wang Gang joked.

"I spent all my pocket money to buy this bar, how can you take advantage of me like this!" Chunxiao rolled her eyes at Wang Gang.

Chunxiao broke up with Huazi, but she still kept in touch with Wang Gang and did not harbor resentment towards him.

In fact, Chunxiao and Huazi broke up not long after they started dating, and she wasn't very sad.

She is naturally carefree, and even wrote a new song about this relationship that ended without a trace.

“Chunxiao, I’ve arranged a dinner for the bar staff later, why don’t you come along? It’ll be a good opportunity for everyone to get to know you, the new boss,” Manny suggested.

“Okay,” Manny agreed.

Wang Gang checked the time and said, "Have you booked a place to eat yet?"

Manny shook her head and said, "We're not going outside. We'll eat at the bar. I've already ordered the food, and it will be delivered soon. The drinks are all ready. I'll tell them to drink as much as they want today, and I'll pay the bill."

"Let's part on good terms, close for the day, and have a good drink."

Actually, the bar staff were very reluctant to part with Manny. As the boss, Manny had always treated her employees well, so everyone got quite drunk at the farewell party.

The bar staff kept toasting Manny, and two girls hugged Manny and cried, reluctant to see her leave.

Chunxiao assured everyone that everything at the bar would remain the same. In addition, she was a resident singer at the bar and was familiar with the staff, so they had a good relationship. After a few drinks, everyone got into a good mood, and the atmosphere was great.

Yang Xiaoyun hadn't planned to drink, but she couldn't resist the urge of Manny to drink, and ended up drinking too much herself.

Wang Gang managed to remain calm and, together with Yang Xiaoyun, took Manny back to her new home.

After Manny got home, her spirits lifted again, and she pulled Wang Gang and Yang Xiaoyun to continue drinking.

Wang Gang knew that Manny was under a lot of mental stress because of the company. The old employees of the Liu family, relying on their seniority, were outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards Manny, which made her feel depressed and in urgent need of venting.

Finally, Wang Gang and Yang Xiaoyun drank with Manny, and they didn't stop until 2 a.m.

The next morning, Wang Gang woke up in bed and found two jade-like arms, one on each side, resting across his chest.

Yang Xiaoyun lay to Wang Gang's left, half asleep.

"Okay, Mom, draw the curtains. I want to sleep a little longer."

The next moment, Yang Xiaoyun suddenly opened her eyes and stared blankly at Wang Gang's profile. (End of Chapter)
