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

Two days ago, Qian Lei discovered that the shop that Lu Zhaoyang bought had opened for business in just over a month.

A newly purchased shop was renovated and opened for business in just one month.

Qian Lei had no doubt that the restaurant might not belong to Lu Zhaoyang.

Out of curiosity, he even stayed inside the car for a long time.

The restaurant's booming business completely shattered his understanding of the catering industry in Yunzhao.

This made him even more interested in getting to know Lu Zhaoyang.

It's such a pleasant surprise to run into you here today.

"Mr. Qian, you flatter me. The restaurant does have some connection with me, but I don't usually get involved. However, the food is decent. Mr. Qian, you can come and visit when you have time," Lu Zhaoyang said modestly.

"Sure, sure," Qian Lei readily agreed.

"Lei Zi, I heard you don't want your dad to continue running this fishpond anymore, is that true?" Old Man Hei asked, seizing the opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Qian Lei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's right, Uncle Xu. Our whole family doesn't want him to continue doing this anymore. He's so old. Like you, he should just go fishing. It's much better than worrying about this fishpond! I've been trying to persuade him for a long time, but he just won't budge. Now that things are finally starting to look promising, I'm here to do some persuasion."

"That's perfect, since you two know each other, this little thing will be even easier to discuss," said Old Man Hei, pointing at Lu Zhaoyang.

"Oh, what is it?" Qian Lei asked, looking puzzled.

"Xiao Lu wants to ask your dad if anyone has taken over the fishpond; he wants to take it over," said Grandpa Hei.

"Oh, Mr. Lu wants to take over this fishpond?"

Qian Lei laughed with a hint of confusion, as if he had heard a joke, "To be honest, the net profit from this fishpond is very meager throughout the year; it's basically a waste of time."

"Besides, Ah Xiang's BBQ just opened recently, and business is booming right now. Why would they have time to waste their energy here?"

Qian Lei had personally witnessed Lu Zhaoyang calmly handling those shops worth over two million yuan.

Ah Xiang's barbecue is now incredibly popular, and his income is considerable.

He didn't think such a smart young man would be so lacking in consideration.

"Mr. Qian, I don't usually pay attention to the barbecue restaurant, but I am really interested in this fishpond. I just don't know if there is any opportunity here?" Lu Zhaoyang said frankly.

"Haha, is that so? This is a very simple matter. Let's exchange contact information, and I'll contact you in a couple of days."

Lu Zhaoyang and Qian Lei exchanged phone numbers, said a brief goodbye, and left separately.

"Sir, what does this Mr. Qian do?"

Lu Zhaoyang and Qian Lei entered the small house, then turned to ask Old Man Hei.

"I opened a factory, but I've forgotten exactly what I did."

"oh."

Lu Zhaoyang recognized the Land Rover.

He certainly remembered the scene of the last competition very clearly.

Qian Lei was clearly determined to get his hands on the shop he had acquired.

If it were a real competition, he might not be able to win easily.

After all, he really couldn't bear to call him "higher up."

……

At noon, Lu Zhaoyang returned to his doorstep.

As luck would have it, the carp he brought back was hanging in front of the car outside the gate.

Suddenly, he fell to the ground.

Lu Zhaoyang didn't bother to open the door; he first stopped the car and picked up the big carp.

Suddenly, he heard a burst of laughter and conversation.

Lu Zhaoyang carried the carp and walked towards the puddle.

Wu Wei stood in the middle of the group, forcing a smile, but inwardly he was cursing.

This small bridge project, costing tens of thousands of dollars, was originally agreed to have all procedures kept simple.

As a result, when the project was almost finished, they said they needed to complete some paperwork.

Now, not only have I incurred several thousand yuan in extra fees, but I also have to go through several more complicated procedures.

Just like now, an inspection is still required after completion.

If he hadn't been free today, he really wouldn't have bothered coming here to cause trouble.

Wu Wei accompanied the inspection experts and checked everything one by one.

Just as he was feeling bored, a figure suddenly came into view.

He wore a straw hat to shield himself from the sun, sunglasses on his face, and carried a large, fat fish in his hand.

Lu Zhaoyang's extremely leisurely and romantic scene struck a chord with Wu Wei.

This really made him jealous.

The last time he fished, the carefree and unrestrained way he looked left Wu Wei with many feelings.

The image of Lu Zhaoyang genuinely enjoying catching fish in the water wasn't particularly disheartening.

Wu Wei suddenly realized that age was relentlessly slipping away from him.

He suddenly realized that he was getting old.

Gone is that leisurely and carefree spirit; it has become dull and rigid.

Today, seeing Lu Zhaoyang dressed and looking like this again, he felt a sudden blow to his heart.

"Brother Zhaoyang."

Wu Wei left the crowd and quickly walked to Lu Zhaoyang.

He spoke with great enthusiasm, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

"President Wu," Lu Zhaoyang greeted him with a smile.

"What 'boss'? Bro, you're off fishing? Having a really relaxing time!"

Wu Wei looked at the large fish in Lu Zhaoyang's hand, his eyes filled with envy.

"Mr. Wu, do you like fish? Here, take this."

Lu Zhaoyang hadn't planned to bring a fish back.

This was thrown to him by the old man with the white beard.

Don't be fooled by Grandpa Qian's bluntness; it's mostly because he's arguing with Grandpa Hei.

Lu Zhaoyang felt that he was actually a very warm person.

"No need, brother, you're too kind. Keep this one for yourself; how could I possibly take advantage of you?"

Wu Wei righteously pushed the fish back.

How could he possibly want this fish? Even without the bones, he'd definitely get one stuck in his throat.

"Um, okay."

Lu Zhaoyang doesn't know how to cook fish, and he doesn't plan to either, but he's also not good at offering his services to others.

"Mr. Wu, what are you busy with?"

He glanced at it curiously and asked.

"Oh, they're inspecting the project." Wu Wei said.

"Is there a problem?" Lu Zhaoyang asked.

"Of course not. We put a lot of effort into this project, brother. Don't worry. The acceptance process is just going through the motions, you know? It's all just empty formalities and superficial stuff."

"Understood."

Wu Weixing said excitedly, "Hey brother, we said we'd have dinner together last time. There's no time like the present. Let's call Director Xu and have a meal together."

Lu Zhaoyang glanced at the fish in his hand. He had originally planned to take on the challenge today, but it seemed he would have to avoid it for now. "Okay, sure."

He wasn't really interested in this kind of situation.

But then I remembered that Wu Wei had indeed said it before, and he had agreed.

Besides, small towns are like this anyway, so having more connections isn't a bad thing.

"By the way, bro, where's that restaurant you mentioned last time that had pretty good food?"

Lu Zhaoyang turned around and opened the door, and Wu Wei followed without ceremony.

While unlocking the phone with his fingerprint, Lu Zhaoyang turned around and explained, "The place I mentioned might not be very convenient. There are too many people queuing up lately, and you'll have to wait for a seat."

Lu Zhaoyang genuinely wanted to bring two customers to the restaurant.

Now it's completely unnecessary.

"What kind of place is this? There's a queue for food? Does Yunzhao even have such an amazing restaurant?"

Wu Wei chuckled upon hearing this.

The door opened, and he saw the exquisite courtyard; his laughter abruptly stopped.
