Xie Zhuo rode his bike to the city at around ten o'clock.

At this time, everyone in the Qingshan Brigade was asleep, except for some small animals and insects that were active at night.

Because the moon was quite bright, he brought a flashlight but had no use for it until he got to the city, hid his bicycle, and then walked towards Lao He's house with the flashlight.

Lao He was probably asleep too. He knocked for nearly half a minute before someone came out cursing and wearing clothes.

"Why is it you?" Lao He glared at Xie Zhuo, "I'm about to curse you!"

"Then go ahead and scold me," Xie Zhuo didn't care about his tone and expression, and stepped into the yard, "Don't hold it in."

"I..." Lao He was speechless.

The two men entered the main room together. Lao He did not turn on the light but lit a candle. He then took off the clothes draped over his shoulders and threw them aside.

Then he looked at Xie Zhuo, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"This afternoon, Wang Xiangdong came to our team to look for me," Xie Zhuo said.

"Fuck!" Lao He's face changed immediately and he blurted out a swear word.

"Did he cause you trouble?" Lao He asked.

"No, he said he wanted to make friends with me and brought a group of people with him," said Xie Zhuo.

Lao He's brows knitted even tighter, and he tapped his fingers on the table quickly, "I'll find someone to take care of this tomorrow."

Xie Zhuo hummed, then took out the small cloth bag he had been hiding in his arms, "There's one more thing."

Lao He watched his movements.

"This is the money from selling ginseng," Xie Zhuo took out the passbook and pushed it forward. Before Lao He looked at him with a confused look, he said, "I want to ask you for a favor."

"What?" Lao He looked at the passbook.

"It's too dangerous for us to keep this money," Xie Zhuo said, "and given our current situation, we two won't be able to spend this much money in several lifetimes."

Lao He nodded.

This is true.

"So... I'd like to ask you to help us set up some assets in Gangcheng," Xie Zhuo said.

When Lao He heard his words, he didn't say anything for a long time.

His eyes were fixed on Xie Zhuo.

Mr. Zhang had said several times before that this kid was no ordinary guy and would achieve great things in the future. Although he agreed with this statement, after Xie Zhuo refused to go to Gangcheng last time, he felt that Xie Zhuo was a little too timid.

If he got such an opportunity at this age, he would run to Hong Kong City at all costs.

Only in places like Hong Kong cities are there more opportunities and more possibilities.

What can I do if I stay in this corner?

I'll give you 65,000 du of land to spend!

Not long after he finished thinking this, Xie Zhuo actually brought the money and asked him to take the money to Gangcheng to spend it for him.

Old He stared at Xie Zhuo for a while.

I kept thinking that Mr. Zhang was really good at judging people.

"How do you want to spend it?" Lao He spoke after being silent for a long time.

"This amount of money is indeed a huge sum of money here," Xie Zhuo was very self-aware because he had some memories of his previous life, "but it's probably nothing in Hong Kong City."

The way Lao He looked at him changed again.

"So, I would like to ask Brother He to help me see if there are any small projects that need investment, and help me invest all this money," said Xie Zhuo.

"You also know about investment projects?" Lao He looked surprised.

Xie Zhuo raised his eyebrows, tutted, and said, "After all, I have been studying for so many years."

"Have you ever been to school?" Lao He continued to be surprised.

Xie Zhuo: “…”

"Oh, yes, you told me that when we first met," said Lao He.

The two were silent for a few seconds while Lao He digested what Xie Zhuo had just said.

After a while, he continued to ask: "So what direction do you want to invest in? What type of enterprise or something like that."

After he said this, Xie Zhuo didn't say anything else.

Just as Lao He was about to ask, he heard Xie Zhuo sigh again, "I was born and raised here, and the farthest I've been to is the city."

Old He didn't understand what he meant at first, and it took him a few seconds to realize what Xie Zhuo meant.

He cursed softly.

"Fuck, after being fooled by you just now, I almost thought you had been to Gangcheng," said Lao He.

"There is a golden house in books," Xie Zhuo didn't want to explain too much.

"Which book talks about Hong Kong City?" Lao He asked.

"The one you haven't read," Xie Zhuo said.

Lao He stared at him speechlessly for a long time. Finally, he patiently told him about some projects in Gangcheng that could make money.

"It's very easy to make money," Lao He said, "but the risks are also high."

"Yeah," Xie Zhuo nodded, and then chose a small film-making company from those listed by Lao He.

"This one?" Old He's mouth twitched.

"What's wrong?" Xie Zhuo asked.

"This one is the least profitable among the ones I just mentioned," Lao He said. "Right now, the most popular thing in Hong Kong is real estate development, which costs more than 200,000 per square foot."

"This is it," Xie Zhuo thought for a while with his eyelids drooping, "I can't even buy one square meter with my 60,000 yuan."

"...That's right," Lao He nodded.

Sixty-five thousand is a huge sum of money here, but in Hong Kong, it is really nothing. If you want to invest in some big companies, it is probably out of your reach.

He just didn't expect that Xie Zhuo would actually consider these things and use the money to invest in making movies.

What a strange person!

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, that's fine," Lao He gathered the passbooks together and put them next to him. "I'll arrange for someone to talk to Mr. Zhang tomorrow."

After the two finished talking, they sat for a while and then Xie Zhuo went home.

He thought Xu Yan had already fallen asleep. When he tiptoed into the yard, he found that there was candlelight in the room and Xu Yan was sitting at the table flipping through a book.

When he heard the noise, he looked up.

"You're back," Xu Yan looked at him.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Xie Zhuo walked in quickly and closed the door.

"I can't sleep," Xu Yan said, "What's wrong?"

"Everything went well," Xie Zhuo said, then walked over and touched her face, "Don't look at it, it's bad for your eyes."

Xu Yan didn't have to read at night. It was mainly because she had been restless and couldn't sleep since Xie Zhuo left, so she could only find something to pass the time.

Now Xie Zhuo was back. He put the book in his hand back on the small bookshelf and followed him to the kang.

The next day was still cloudy.

When Xu Yan woke up, he was held in Xie Zhuo's arms.

She reached out, opened the curtain and looked outside. It seemed to be raining and the sky was dark.

"Sleep a little longer," Xie Zhuo retracted his arms and hugged Xu Yan again.

With her brows slightly furrowed, she tilted her head and buried her face in Xu Yan's neck.

Xu Yan felt a little itchy because of him, so he raised his hand and touched his face, "Your hair is prickly."

Who would have thought that Xie Zhuo not only did not move away, but instead opened his mouth and gently bit her collarbone.

"Hiss——" Xu Yan was amused by his actions, "Are you acting like a hooligan so early in the morning?"
