The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

Two weeks later, Xu Yun prepared to leave Jiang County.

He will come back and hold a full-month celebration for his daughter when she turns one month old.

Before leaving, he went to Zhu Jingheng's house to meet Zhu Jingheng and Lin Xi and to see their son.

This was agreed upon beforehand.

Lin Xi cooked dinner herself. Compared to before, when she never lifted a finger to cook, she has now learned to cook.

So when a person starts to change, it can happen very quickly.

"I'm not a very good cook."

Lin Xi smiled apologetically and said, "Xu Yun, please make do with this."

"The fact that you can cook is already a great treat for me."

Xu Yun chuckled and joked, then said, "Class monitor, let's just have a normal get-together among classmates and friends today, let's skip all that fancy stuff."

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Zhu Jingheng poured Xu Yun a glass of wine and said, "I haven't had a chance to toast you before. Today, the two of us are going to drink until we're both drunk."

"Alright, I'll play along."

Xu Yun said, "However, it's no fun drinking with just the two of us. How about we invite Zheng Yi along?"

"good idea."

Zhu Jingheng smiled and said, "I already called him a while ago, and he should be here soon."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a knock sounded on the door.

Lin Xi went to open the door and saw Zheng Yi standing at the door. After greeting her with "Hello, beautiful Lin," he went straight into the house.

Seeing this, Zhu Jingheng teased, "You rascal, who comes to someone's house for a meal empty-handed? You didn't even bring a gift."

“You two are both richer than me, you have everything you need, so you don’t need my little bit.”

Zheng Yi chuckled and said, "I'm just here to make up the numbers. Oh, and you're drinking Moutai. Let's have some fun. I don't usually get to drink it."

"Drink, drink, there's plenty for today."

Xu Yun laughed and said, "As the class monitor, you can have as many of these as you want."

"Yes, and have a drink while you're at it."

Zhu Jingheng laughed and said, "Lin Xi, go to the storage room and get a few more bottles."

"Don't!"

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "There are only three of us. Half a bottle each is enough. Any more than that, and we'll all be going home soon."

"Look at you, you've already chickened out before you've even started drinking."

"no way."

Zheng Yi shrugged and said, "Ever since high school, my alcohol tolerance has never been as good as the two of you."

"okay."

Xu Yun raised his glass and said, "Let's drink to that first, then we'll talk."

"Beautiful Lin, aren't you going to drink?"

Zheng Yi said, "Xu Yun doesn't come easily, you know."

"Then I'll have a little too."

As she spoke, Lin Xi poured herself a small glass of baijiu and said with a smile, "So that someone won't keep nagging me about it later."

"Hahaha..." Zheng Yi chuckled but didn't say anything.

Then the four of them, who were also high school classmates, drank a toast together.

After that, Lin Xi stopped drinking, as she had a child who was over six months old to take care of at home.

Xu Yun, Zheng Yi, and Zhu Jingheng drank and chatted, talking about their student days, their romantic escapades in college, and recent developments in the county.

Finally, we came to the North City project.

Zhu Jingheng had already met with Ning Qian once before, and the procedures were proceeding normally. If nothing unexpected happened, he would now be in charge of the construction of the entire North City.

This is a huge project, requiring a lot of manpower, financial resources, and capital; it's also a very lucrative opportunity.

So it's no surprise that before long, Zhu Jingheng will become a god of wealth in the eyes of many people, and everyone will want to get a share of the pie from him.

On this point, Xu Yun only said one sentence.

"Be careful in everything you do, give what you should give, but you have to earn money and do things properly."

If someone tries to use their power to force you to take projects and build shoddy construction projects, don't be afraid. Just tell me, and I'll handle it for you.

"I know," Zhu Jingheng replied.

He now acts with confidence because Xu Yun is standing behind him.

"Oh, it's not that annoying."

Zheng Yi laughed and said, "If you have something to do, come to me first. If I can't handle it, then go to Xu Yun. His connections are already top-notch, and sometimes it's a waste of his talents."

"Oh right, how could I forget about our Director Zheng?"

Xu Yun chuckled and joked, "His connections in the county are not to be underestimated now."

"Forehead……"

Zheng Yi wasn't modest either. Facing the class monitor and Xu Yun, he said with some pride, "Although it's a bit of an exaggeration, even though I'm not a high-ranking person, I can still say a word or two to the big leaders sometimes."

"Yes, Director Zheng is awesome!"

Taking the opportunity, Zhu Jingheng poured him a glass of wine and quickly said with a smile, "Come, come, let me toast you again."

"Get lost, all you do is try to get me drunk."

Zheng Yi laughed and scolded, "If you want to drink, go drink with Xu Yun. I can't take it anymore."

"No, please."

Xu Yun joked, "Director Zheng is so awesome, how can you say no? You have to drink, otherwise we'll look down on you."

"You fucking gang up on me, huh?"

Zheng Yi said with dissatisfaction, "No, if we're going to drink, we should all drink together."

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

After the three of them downed a drink, Xu Yun, Zheng Yi, and Zhu Jingheng were all feeling quite tipsy.

Although Xu Yun had obtained the "Never Get Drunk" skill from the system, he did not use it today.

At this moment, Lin Xi also came over and advised, "Why don't you stop drinking? I think you've had enough."

"Okay, I think Miss Lin is right."

Zheng Yi immediately seized the opportunity and said, "I won't drink anymore, otherwise I'll really end up sleeping at the squad leader's house later."

"I'm not drinking anymore either."

Zhu Jingheng waved his hand and said, "I'm still dizzy."

"Are you guys even capable? You're all so weak."

Xu Yun chuckled, then stood up and said, "If you don't want to drink, then don't. I'll go check on your little one."

"Great!" Lin Xi said with a smile. "He just woke up."

As she spoke, she went inside and brought the little one out.

"Xu Yun, do you want a hug?"

"can."

Xu Yun took the little guy, held him in her arms, and said with her head down, "Your little one is also quite good-looking. He'll be a handsome young man in the future."

"That's right, he doesn't even know who his mother is."

Zhu Jingheng said smugly, "I guarantee I'll be just like you in the future, a talent for seducing young girls."

Hehe~

Xu Yun disagreed and tried to coax the little guy, but he seemed to recognize people and started crying immediately.

He immediately returned it to Lin Xi.

Then he took a small box out of his pocket, handed it to Lin Xi, and said, "This is a gift for the little one since we first met, a longevity lock."

"Thank you."

Lin Xi took it and immediately hung it up for her son.

"What's going on? I really didn't bring a gift."

Seeing this, Zheng Yi said, "Next time, I'll make it up next time."

"I'll remember that."

Zhu Jingheng laughed and said, "If you don't make up for it, see if I make that guy call you uncle in the future." Just as the group was joking around, Xu Yun's phone rang.

He took it out and saw that Gao Wenwen had just video-called him.

Since everyone was already acquainted, Xu Yun didn't stand on ceremony and answered the call directly, saying to everyone, "It's Gao Wenwen."

As soon as the call connected, Zheng Yi came over and greeted her with a smile, "Hey, isn't this our Gao Wenwen? How are things going with poetry and distant places?"

"none of your business."

Gao Wenwen retorted to him, then asked Xu Yun, "Are you with Zheng Yi? Did you go back to Jiang County?"

"Ah."

Xu Yun replied, "I'm here with him at the class monitor's house for a meal right now."

As he spoke, he switched the street view to Lin Xi and Zhu Jingheng.

Seeing this, the two smiled and greeted Gao Wenwen.

Through their conversation, Xu Yun learned that Gao Wenwen was currently traveling in Altay, Xinjiang, and that the snow scenery there was beautiful, so she wanted Xu Yun to see it too.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yun was with everyone.

In the video, we chatted for a while, and then, seeing that it was getting late, we hung up.

Afterwards, Xu Yun and Zheng Yi left the squad leader's house together.

On the way back, Xu Yun revealed some news to Zheng Yi, saying that he should be prepared, as it might not be long before someone from the Organization Department would talk to him.

Zheng Yi certainly knew what this meant.

He asked, "Did you strain?"

"I mentioned it when I was chatting with the Party Secretary that day."

Xu Yun said, "The Party Secretary thinks highly of you and feels that he should give you more courage."

"Thank you." Zheng Yi expressed his sincere gratitude.

"You're welcome."

Zheng Yi asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

"It will be tomorrow."

Xu Yun replied, "I've been back for almost half a month. There are still many things to do outside, and they're all waiting for me."

"Ah."

Zheng Yi said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the housekeeper and your wife and children."

……

The following morning, Xu Yun drove off, ready to leave.

Chen Xin held her daughter and stood outside the window.

The little one was fast asleep, wrapped in a pale yellow swaddle, completely unaware that his father was about to leave.

"I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself at home."

Xu Yun looked at Chen Xin, feeling somewhat guilty, and said, "I'll come back to be with you when our daughter is a month old."

Chen Xin reached out and gently straightened his collar, saying, "Go on, there's a housekeeper and a postpartum nanny at home."

Xu Yun disliked this kind of parting, so he didn't say anything more and drove away.

In the rearview mirror, Chen Xin stood still, holding her child in her arms, smiling and waving until his car disappeared at the end of the passage.

After a four-hour drive on the highway, Xu Yun finally arrived in Jiangcheng.

However, instead of going straight home, he went to the airport.

A short while later, Xu Yun boarded the plane.

As the plane took off, the coastline of Haicheng gradually blurred under the clouds.

Xu Yun leaned back in his first-class seat, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

Three seconds later, his phone started vibrating wildly.

"You really want to come?!"

Gao Wenwen's voice was full of surprise as she asked, "When will you arrive? I'll drive to pick you up! Wait, will you be unaccustomed to the climate here? Bring warm clothes, the temperature difference between day and night is large..."

Hearing her string of words, Xu Yun's lips unconsciously curled up.

Gao Wenwen is just like that, always full of energy, like a little sun.

It was already evening when the plane landed at Altay Airport.

It gets dark late here; it's still bright at seven o'clock.

Xu Yun dragged her suitcase out of the terminal and immediately spotted Gao Wenwen in the crowd.

She wore a bright yellow windbreaker, her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her face was bare of makeup, tanned a healthy wheat color by the northern Xinjiang sun.

Upon seeing Xu Yun, she immediately jumped up and waved, her smile dazzlingly bright.

"Honey! Here, here!"

Xu Yun walked over, and before he could even speak, she rushed up to him and gave him a big hug.

The fabric of his windbreaker brushed against his cheek, carrying the scent of sunshine and wind.

Xu Yun joked, "Teacher Gao is as beautiful as ever."

Gao Wenwen let go of him, blinked, and said, "You're as handsome as ever."

"Stop being such a mouthful."

Xu Yun chuckled and asked, "Where's your car?"

"Over here!"

Gao Wenwen naturally took the small bag from his hand and said, "Let me tell you, I rented an SUV, it's super cool! I've practically driven all over Altay these past few days, and those tourist attractions aren't even in the guidebooks..."

On the way to the hotel, Gao Wenwen kept talking.

She excitedly described the scenery she had seen, the photos she had taken, and the interesting people and things she had encountered over the past few days.

Xu Yun listened quietly, occasionally responding with a word or two. Seeing her animated expression, the fatigue on her face seemed to dissipate somewhat.

"Oh, right, honey."

Gao Wenwen suddenly turned her head, a sly glint in her eyes, and asked, "How many days can you stay this time?"

"Three to four days."

Xu Yun looked out the window at the scenery passing by. The landscape here was completely different from Jiangcheng. It was vast and desolate, and the sky was so low that it seemed as if you could reach out and touch it.

"That's perfect!"

Gao Wenwen excitedly slapped the steering wheel and said, "I have a fantastic idea!"

Xu Yun had a bad feeling: "What are you thinking?"

"Help me shoot a short video with a romance theme!"

Gao Wenwen spoke quickly, saying, "Look, I'm stuck at 80,000 followers and can't go any higher. I need to break through with my content."

The most popular trend right now is travel photography of couples' daily lives—the kind that's authentic, natural, and sweet.

"You're here just in time! Let's film some clips in this beautiful scenery; they're sure to go viral!"

"No, I don't want to show my face."

"I know."

Gao Wenwen pouted and said, "Isn't it enough to let you be the main perspective?"

"Oh, you've broken my heart."

Xu Yun sighed deliberately, "I came to find you thinking we could have a romantic trip to Altay, but instead you've made me your laborer."

"What kind of hard labor?"

Gao Wenwen suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "You'll be my slave during the day, and I'll be your slave at night."

"Okay, you said it yourself."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "It's a deal!"

"Hmph, I knew you were a big pervert!"

Gao Wenwen turned her head and said, "That depends on your performance during the day. If you perform well and satisfy me, I will satisfy you tonight as well; otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, I'll bite you to death!"

Gao Wenwen deliberately said fiercely, "Don't blame me for being ruthless and rude when the time comes."

Xu Yun: “(⊙o⊙)…”
