The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang lent Hua Zi some money to pay the fine, and his lawsuit came to an end.

Xiang Nan suggested that everyone get together to celebrate Hua Zi's safety.

Hua Zi wasn't really in the mood to celebrate, but Xiang Nan had been very helpful lately, and Hua Zi couldn't refuse him, so he found a small restaurant that was both delicious and inexpensive.

Although the lawsuit is over, the fine plus compensation to the 4S store amounted to 1.5 million yuan. Hua Zi still has to repay the bank loan every month, and he will have to cut back on his diet for a long time to come.

Xiang Nan specifically called Wang Gang and asked him to bring Yao Yao along.

"Qiangzi, Hua Zi was able to get away with this thanks to lawyer Yao Yao who took care of everything. Make an appointment with her and tell her that Hua Zi specially invited her to dinner to express his gratitude."

Wang Gang and Hua Zi both understood Xiang Nan's true intentions.

"If you want to make a date, just call them yourself. Don't you have their number?"

"You're closer to them, aren't you?" Xiang Nan chuckled. "They might not agree if I ask."

“Alright then! I’ll ask her out later.” Wang Gang thought for a moment and said, “I’ll bring Mi Lai along too. She’s going abroad soon and is looking for an opportunity to get together with us.”

"Well, you're doing great! You've got two women on your arms now, while I'm still single and have never been in a relationship," Xiang Nan said pitifully.

"Didn't you have feelings for Yang Xiaoyun before? Why didn't you pursue her?" Wang Gang asked curiously.

"Don't even mention it. I've asked her out several times, but she always makes excuses. I'm not the type to pester people. Since Yang Xiaoyun doesn't like us, we won't bother her."

Wang Gang chuckled and said, "You give up so easily? You still want to find a partner? You'll be a bachelor for life!"

Xiang Nan said speechlessly, "Qiangzi, Yang Xiaoyun has someone she loves. Don't think I don't know."

Wang Gang was well aware of Yang Xiaoyun's intentions, but unlike Mi Lai, Yang Xiaoyun was someone Wang Gang couldn't afford to mess with, and he wouldn't provoke her.

Wang Gang was silent for a moment before saying, "Are you now eyeing lawyer Yao Yao?"

"Hehe, I think I get along pretty well with Attorney Yao Yao," Xiang Nan said. "If I manage to win her over this time, I'll treat you to wedding candy!"

In the original storyline, Xiang Nan and Yang Xiaoyun were the official couple, a pair of bickering lovers. Unfortunately, Yang Xiaoyun met Wang Gang first and looked down on Xiang Nan.

Especially after becoming Manny's assistant, Yang Xiaoyun's horizons broadened, and she came into contact with the most outstanding people in the capital, which made her look down on Xiang Nan, who was "unambitious."

Xiang Nan also gave up on Yang Xiaoyun early on and set his sights on Yao Yao.

In the story, Xiang Nan and Yao Yao did have a relationship; if it weren't for Yang Xiaoyun, they would have even gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Everything has changed now, and perhaps things will go more smoothly for the two of them.

As for Wang Gang, he only ever treated Yao Yao as a friend.

Although Yao Yao looks a lot like He Yushui, Wang Gang has never had any intention of pursuing her.

After experiencing so much, Wang Gang has long since become indifferent to matters of the heart and would never consider replacing He Yushui with Yao Yao. If Xiang Nan is interested in Yao Yao, he would be happy to help them get together.

Wang Gang called Yao Yao and invited her to dinner to celebrate Hua Zi's safety.

Yao Yao agreed without much thought, and even said she would bring a bottle of good wine.

As they spent more time together, Wang Gang realized that Yao Yao had a forthright personality and was a very opinionated person, quite different from He Yushui.

When Xiang Nan learned that Yao Yao was coming, he specially got a new hairstyle and bought a new outfit to dress up.

Hua Zi even joked that he was like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, implying that he was in heat.

The dinner appointment is for 7 pm on Saturday.

Xiang Nan dragged Hua Zi to a restaurant early in the morning and ordered a large table of fancy dishes, which made Hua Zi's heart pound with fear.

"There are only a few of us, there's no need to order so many dishes."

"This meal is to congratulate you on being safe and sound. How could we let you pay? Qiangzi already said he would pay the bill," Xiang Nan said. "Now that Qiangzi has hooked up with a rich woman, we don't need to save him any money."

Hua Zi frowned and said, "Don't talk about Qiangzi like that. Actually, he's very good at making money. He's not a gold digger."

Xiang Nan slapped his mouth and laughed, "I misspoke, I'll slap myself."

"What are you doing?" Mi Lai suddenly jumped out from behind Xiang Nan, startling him.

"Mi Lai, Qiangzi, you're here!" Hua Zi greeted Wang Gang with a smile.

"Aren't we a bit early?" Wang Gang glanced at his watch; it was only 6:30. "It's alright, we can chat a bit since we're early. Now we're just waiting for Attorney Yao." Hua Zi called over a waiter and ordered a pot of good tea.

"Qiangzi, I will pay you back the money I owe you as soon as possible." Hua Zi personally poured Wang Gang a cup of tea.

Wang Gang smiled and took a bank card out of his pants pocket.

"Take this." Wang Gang pushed the card in front of Hua Zi.

Hua Zi was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "What does this card mean?"

Wang Gang explained, "Do you remember before, when you gave me 20,000 yuan to invest in the stock market?"

Hua Zi remembered that he knew Wang Gang had made a lot of money in the stock market, so he thought he would follow suit and gave Wang Gang 20,000 yuan to help him invest. It had been more than half a year since then.

"That 20,000! I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it." Hua Zi said with a smile, "Why don't you keep this money for now, consider it as me paying off a debt."

Mi Lai asked mysteriously, "Hua Zi, aren't you going to ask how much money is in this card?"

Hua Zi sighed and said, "I currently owe Qiang Zi over a million yuan. I know that's far from enough, but I'll find a way to make money."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "You don't think I didn't make much money by guiding you in your investments, do you?"

Xiang Nan curiously picked up the bank card and asked, "Qiangzi, how much money did you make for Hua Zi?"

Wang Gang held up two fingers.

Xiang Nan said, "Twenty thousand has doubled, so forty thousand?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said mysteriously, "Guess again!"

Hua Zi exclaimed in surprise, "No way! You made ten times your money, two hundred thousand?!"

Miley said, "Can't you guys have a little more guts and guess a little bigger?"

Xiang Nan and Hua Zi exchanged a glance, their eyes widening as they exclaimed, "Two, two million!!"

Wang Gang finally nodded.

"What!" Xiang Nan suddenly stood up, feeling the bank card in his hand getting hot.

"There's two million in this card!"

Mi Lai said smugly, "Hua Zi, Gao Qiang used your 20,000 yuan and turned it into a hundredfold profit in half a year."

Hua Zi collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Xiang Nan quickly helped Hua Zi up and returned the card to him.

"Good heavens, Qiangzi, did you rob a bank? Twenty thousand in your hands multiplied a hundredfold?!" Xiang Nan exclaimed, his mouth dry.

"It's alright!" Wang Gang laughed. "Twenty thousand is easy to multiply a hundredfold, but two million is difficult. The domestic stock market is too murky. Making a little money is fine, but if you want to make more, you can't avoid those market manipulators."

Hua Zi still feels a bit surreal holding the bank card.

"I have two million?"

Mi Lai laughed and said, "Hua Zi, with this money, you should be able to pay off your debts and redeem your house!"

Hua Zi, with red eyes, said, "There might still be some left."

Wang Gang said, "Hua Zi, redeem the house first. Don't rush to pay off the debt with the remaining money. Find a small business to start and make money from money."

"Thank you, Gao Qiang, thank you so much." Hua Zi held Wang Gang's hand, her eyes already brimming with tears.

Xiang Nan suddenly rubbed his hands together eagerly with Wang Gang and said, "Qiangzi, aren't we brothers?"

Wang Gang glanced at Xiang Nan and snorted, "You want me to make you rich too?"

"Hehe!" Xiang Nan scratched the back of his head and said, "I'll give you the money. It'll be a hundred times more in six months. Why would I need to work? I can just get rich by following you!"

Miley asked curiously, "Xiang Nan, how much money do you have?"

Xiang Nan said, "I have 50,000 yuan in savings, and I was originally planning to buy a used car for fun." (End of Chapter)
