I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!

One second, two seconds.

"etc!"

Zhao Xing's voice suddenly turned incredibly frantic, "My dad said there's an unbelievably beautiful girl with you, and I wanted to ask..."

"Lu Zhaoyang, you're not trying to trick me into saying this..."

Is someone next to you?

"Are there any girls listening?"

"You're not trying to tease girls with my embarrassing past, are you...?"

"Snapped!"

Lu Zhaoyang hung up the voice call decisively, his expression indifferent.

All I can say is that this kid isn't too stupid.

However, the reaction was ultimately a bit too late.

Xia Ran, who was sitting on the swing next to her, listened with great interest at first, then stared in disbelief.

Finally, after Lu Zhaoyang hung up the phone, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Buzz!"

Zhao Xing was sensible enough not to call again.

However, two 60-second voice messages were sent in quick succession.

"Look, our relationship is absolutely amazing."

Lu Zhaoyang showed his phone to Xia Ran, who was all smiles.

He couldn't listen to those two voice messages right now, so he put his phone away.

As the evening breeze gently caressed her, the tenderness in Xia Ran's eyes was hidden in the darkness.

She turned her head to look at the composed young man beside her, whose eyes held a smile.

This dramatic incident of skipping out on the bill was actually a gentle misunderstanding from beginning to end.

This guy is really a bit wicked.

She almost believed it; she was nearly scared.

However, without Lu Zhaoyang's "ulterior motives," she felt that she would probably never have had such a special experience in her entire life.

Thinking about this, I found the night particularly interesting.

……

The next day, Lu Zhaoyang went fishing with Grandpa Hei again.

Now he no longer goes home empty-handed every day; he can still catch one or two fish every now and then.

Of course, most of the time it remains very stable with empty slots.

"Isn't your restaurant about to open?"

With the restaurant's opening imminent, Grandpa Hei was surprised to see Lu Zhaoyang fishing by the river on time for two consecutive days.

Lu Zhaoyang was putting a large clump of bait on the fishing hook when he turned around and replied, "Just to correct you, sir, that's not my restaurant. I just... invested a little money."

He's not even the controlling shareholder, so calling it his restaurant isn't quite appropriate.

"Ha, you're quite comfortable being a hands-off manager."

The old man remained noncommittal.

During the food tasting that day, he heard a lot of gossip from Zhang Zhizhong, who was sitting next to him.

The small amount of money Lu Zhaoyang mentioned can no longer fool him.

It was precisely because he knew more about this young man that Grandpa Hei felt increasingly unable to understand him.

Currently, the company has been buying a courtyard, renovating it, investing in a restaurant, and even purchasing a shop for this purpose.

Lu Zhaoyang's series of actions were no small feat.

The old man in the restaurant didn't seem to care much, but he was quite fascinated by the courtyard that was under renovation.

Recently, he's been making excuses to pass by there whenever he has free time.

Just to catch a glimpse of it, just for the rare treat.

At first, the old man thought Lu Zhaoyang was from a wealthy family.

But it's a bit strange that the children of wealthy people would buy two courtyards in their urban village.

Grandpa Hei casually inquired with Xu Chunliang and learned that Lu Zhaoyang's hometown was indeed a rural area.

Lu Zhaoyang himself said that he had worked outside for several years before returning.

Now the old man had his own judgment: Lu Zhaoyang must have achieved some success in his business outside and returned home.

In particular, Lu Zhaoyang revealed this rather rare and unrestrained fishing technique.

If he can't catch two fish a day, the fishing tackle shop can't even keep up with his own bait supply.

This leisurely and carefree state of mind must have come from going through a certain amount of trials and tribulations.

What the old man found regrettable was that after searching around, he couldn't find a suitable young girl in his family to introduce to Lu Zhaoyang.

He was unwilling to arrange things for more distant relatives.

6 month 1 day.

Lu Zhaoyang appeared at the riverbank again on time.

The old man's previous guess was completely confirmed.

He's so young, yet he's so mature.

"It's not opening day, and you're still in the mood for fishing?"

The old man watched as Lu Zhaoyang, his face covered by a hat, woke up from his deep sleep once again under the sun.

"I'm not going!"

Lu Zhaoyang removed his hat and slowly opened his eyes.

I sleep soundly here, but every time I wake up, it takes me a while to realize where I am.

Actually, he doesn't really like fishing that much.

He just felt he should have something routine to do.

Besides running every day, grocery shopping, and fishing have also become part of my routine.

When he was a beast of burden, he fantasized about how wonderful it would be to lie down and relax.

But only when you actually give up do you realize that giving up is not so easy.

Especially for those who have been tamed by the workplace, truly getting used to a life of doing nothing may require a talent greater than diligence.

That's right, today is the day the restaurant opens.

However, Lu Zhaoyang still decided not to show his face.

His original plan was to simply invest without interfering in anything.

The opening is a busy time, and as an outsider, he can't help with anything and might even delay things.

So, he sent a message to Li Jianxiang early in the morning, telling him that he wouldn't be going.

Li Jianxiang assumed Lu Zhaoyang was busy and didn't ask any further questions, simply replying with an "okay."

It's almost noon, lunchtime is approaching.

Lu Zhaoyang was packing his things, preparing to leave, when he received a call from Wei Kai.

"Hey, Yoko, it's such a big day today, where are you?"

On the phone, Wei Kai was surrounded by a lot of noise.

"I didn't go," Lu Zhaoyang replied while packing his things.

"You didn't come? What are you busy with? How can you not care about something this important?"

"I'm paying attention, but I need to calm down more; I'm fishing right now."

"What the heck? You're kidding me, right?" Wei Kai exclaimed.

"Who's kidding? If you want them later, just turn the corner and go to my place and get these two fish I just caught..."

As Lu Zhaoyang folded up the chair, he asked curiously, "But why are you still there? You delivered an opening flower basket; you can't just shamelessly stay there waiting to be fed, can you?"

"I'll provide you with food, my foot! Do you think I'm that calculating!"

Wei Kai laughed and scolded, "I'm treating you, Boss Lu and Lao Li, to your business. I've been waiting for this day for half a month, just to make sure you open."

"Mr. Wei, you're so kind!" Lu Zhaoyang stood up with deep respect and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Unfortunately, Wei Kai wasn't appreciative, saying, "Who needs your dry thanks? If you have any conscience, run over here now and get me a seat!"

"What do you mean?" Lu Zhaoyang was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Wei Kai said irritably, "Not being able to get anything to eat, having to wait in line, it's so annoying, can you believe it!"

Lu Zhaoyang felt as if the phone on the other end of the line had been suddenly dropped onto an incredibly noisy stage.

He took the phone away from his ear; the noise on the other end of the screen was unbearable.

The voices surged forth like a tide.

"this……"

Lu Zhaoyang remained frozen in place, stunned.
