Chapter 73 I'll invest one million

Faced with the curious Nana and Damai, Lin Yang shrugged and smiled: "Of course I did. I think it's probably because I updated more frequently at the beginning!"

"Extra chapters are definitely not the main factor in good results," Da Mai shook his head and said, "It should be that your writing is really good. Let me take a look..."

He clicked on the barley to look at it, initially frowning, then slowly revealing a thoughtful look of realization, and then became so engrossed in it that he forgot about time.

Nana, standing to the side, also watched with great curiosity and casualness, unconsciously smiling as she flipped through the pages.

"Hey, if you don't eat soon, the food will get cold! The soup won't taste good when it's cold," Lin Yang couldn't help but remind you.

"Wow, Lin Yang, this is so addictive! Even though it's a male-oriented novel, it's really fun and interesting to read!" Nana exclaimed with delight, as if she had stumbled upon a great novel.

Da Mai nodded, her eyes shining, "I learned something, Lin Yang! You're really amazing! This plot may not be very informative, but it's really fun!"

"So, as long as people enjoy reading what you write, nothing else matters," Lin Yang said. "It's like cooking. No matter how much effort you put into it, if it doesn't taste good, people will still prefer instant noodles or fast food."

"That makes so much sense! Barley, I think it's really like what Lin Yang said," Nana nodded in agreement.

"Well, Lin Yang, thank you. I think I understand now. Although understanding and being able to do it are two different things, thank you for helping me understand these things," Da Mai said.

"Can we eat now? Would you like me to heat up your food?" Lin Yang asked with a smile.

"No need, no need to trouble yourself," the two women quickly waved their hands.

"Let's heat up the soup! You guys can have rice soaked in soup later, it really brings out the flavor of the soup," Lin Yang said. "It's the same with doing things. Sometimes, just changing your mindset a little can make things go more smoothly and well."

"If you still can't figure it out and can't calm down, then hurry up and finish eating and go upstairs to find Hongdou. Have her give you some Hongdou-brand chicken soup," Lin Yang continued with a smile.

Nana and Damai exchanged a smile, then joked, "Won't it bother you if we go over now?"

"I'm going to sleep. I can't stay up any longer. Keep Hongdou company for me," Lin Yang said.

After Nana and Damai finished eating and went upstairs, Lin Yang washed the dishes and pots and went straight back to his room to wash up and rest.

Although young people are used to staying up late, going to bed early occasionally can be a very satisfying and enjoyable thing.

The next evening, Xu Hongdou's foot had almost recovered and she was able to go downstairs by herself. She specially came to the kitchen to help Lin Yang cook dinner.

"Hongdou, your foot is just healed, don't stand for too long. Why don't you sit down and pick vegetables?" Lin Yang said.

"It's okay! I used my other foot to exert force, and didn't put much force on my sprained foot," Xu Hongdou said with a smile.

"Lin Yang, Lin Yang..." Just as the two were talking, Master Ma suddenly ran over excitedly.

Seeing that he was dressed quite formally, Lin Yang couldn't help but laugh and say, "Mr. Ma, what's got you so happy? Did you land an investment?"

"Great! I just went to see General Manager Xie, and he had a former colleague approve an investment for me. It's not a lot, but it's enough for my initial expenses and to get things set up," Master Ma said with a smile.

"That's great!" Lin Yang said with a smile. "We should celebrate later. Mr. Ma, you've come at a bad time; the food will be waiting a while!"

"It's alright, um... I... I can wait a bit," Master Ma said with a smile.

Soon, after preparing the meal, Lin Yang invited Master Ma to eat with him. He noticed that Master Ma always seemed hesitant to speak at the table, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

After finishing their meal, Lin Yang said, "Mr. Ma, you want to ask about the investment I promised you, right?"

"No rush, no rush," Master Ma said with a smile.

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't go back on my word. How about one million?" Lin Yang said with a smile, "That should be enough, right?"

"One million?" Upon hearing this, Master Ma's eyes widened slightly with surprise.

Xu Hongdou, who was standing to the side, was also a little surprised. How much money did Lin Yang have? He just took out a million without saying anything.

"Alright, Lin Yang, you're very straightforward. I'll prepare the investment contract for you tomorrow," Master Ma said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

After Mr. Ma left excitedly, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but ask, "You bet so much at once, weren't you afraid Mr. Ma would lose it all?"

"With investments, there are always gains and losses," Lin Yang said. "The reason I invested in Master Ma is not only because we are familiar with each other. On the one hand, Master Ma has been successful before, and he has experience in doing business, both in success and failure. Therefore, his chances of making a comeback and succeeding are relatively high."

"Moreover, Xie Zhiyao and I have both looked into his investment projects, and they seem pretty good. The fact that Xie Zhiyao was able to secure investment for him means that his projects have passed the investment institutions' review. Most importantly, I trust Mr. Ma's character. Even if he doesn't succeed, he won't make me lose too much."

Xu Hongdou listened thoughtfully and nodded: "It seems you have thought this through carefully."

"What, worried I'll act impulsively and lose all my savings for a wife?" Lin Yang laughed. "Don't worry, the money my dad left me isn't a huge amount, but it's enough for me to make a few moves. Besides, I can keep earning more!"

"Okay, once you've thought it through," Xu Hongdou nodded and added, "By the way, I'm planning to go out with Nana and Damai tomorrow."

"Huh? You guys are going out to play? Didn't we agree to go together?" Lin Yang couldn't help but ask.

"It's rare for Da Mai to stay in her room all day, so of course we should go out with her!" Xu Hongdou said.

"Oh," Lin Yang said with a sudden realization, then asked with a smile, "Do you need a driver?"

"A driver?" Xu Hongdou smiled and nodded, feigning a thoughtful expression. "I think that's fine. We can ride in your RV, you drive in front, and we can chat inside without disturbing each other."

"Actually, we went out this time to celebrate Damai's birthday. Nana, Teacher Hu, and I have decided to give Damai a surprise at a bar in the ancient city," Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say again.

"Then I definitely have to go. It's fine if Master Ma doesn't go, after all, there's a generation gap between him and us. It doesn't matter whether we invite him or not for his birthday. But it's not right for you guys to decide not to invite him," Lin Yang couldn't help but say.

"Didn't I already tell you?" Xu Hongdou said with amusement, "It's just a birthday, why are you so excited?"

"Of course you don't understand what a birthday means to me. Actually, I've never celebrated my birthday and I don't even know my own birthday," Lin Yang said, which made Xu Hongdou pause for a moment.

"Don't know your own birthday? Then what about your ID number..." Xu Hongdou asked subconsciously.

Lin Yang then said, "The information registered back then might not have been accurate..."

"So, you never celebrate your birthday?" Xu Hongdou couldn't help but ask.

"For most people, birthdays are a happy occasion, but for me, and for some orphans, birthdays are not something to celebrate. They only remind us that we have no relatives and no origin..." Lin Yang's words made Xu Hongdou feel sorry for him.
