The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

"Okay! Brother Taiji, I've missed you. Let's meet up after your exam tomorrow."

Hua Yan dared not disturb Taiji's studies, because in his previous life Taiji majored in mechanical manufacturing, while in this life he was studying computer applications, a completely new discipline with no shortcuts.

"Okay! I'll talk to you after the exam tomorrow."

Taiji longed to be with Huayan, but she was too busy. He worried about her, but he couldn't stop her. So he could only silently feel sorry for her and try not to become a burden to her.

Hua Yan seemed to have endless things to do; some things she could tell him, and some things she couldn't. He knew Hua Yan was a thoughtful person; when she needed him, he would go all out, and when she didn't need him, he would silently support her, never becoming an obstacle in her way. This was Taiji's love for Hua Yan—intensely passionate yet profoundly subtle.

-

Ye Zhuang and Men Sheng were unaware that Hua Yan had returned, because they had called her countless times over the past two months, but her number was always out of service. They went to her dorm room to look for her, but no one was there.

Finally, having exhausted all other options, they found Taiji and learned that Huayan had important matters to attend to and was unable to answer the phone. After that, they stopped calling. As long as they knew Huayan was alright, they were relieved.

next day

"Second brother, have you finished your exams?"

"Ah! Jiu'er, you finally called. What are we still taking exams for? We've already graduated. But my older brother and I have been recommended for graduate school. Aren't you happy to hear that?"

Ye Zhuang was overjoyed when he received Hua Yan's call, forgetting all his previous complaints about her.

"Hehe! That's great! I'll treat you to dinner to celebrate. I brought you gifts on this trip, and I also brought a gift for Grandpa Ye. Could you please give it to him for me?"

"Jiu'er, you're back? That's wonderful! Where are you?"

Ye Zhuang is a bit like an impatient child.

"I'm at school."

"Wait, I'm coming to find you."

Ye Zhuang quickly hung up the phone.

Before long, someone called Hua Yan from downstairs. It turned out to be none other than Men Sheng and Ye Zhuang, who were grinning foolishly.

Haha! Why are these two still at school?

Hua Yan came downstairs with the gift, and Ye Zhuang immediately took it.

"Big brother, second brother, it's been so long, I miss you so much."

"Hmph! You little ungrateful thing, you've been gone for so long and didn't even call us to let us know you were safe. We were so worried about you that we couldn't eat or sleep. We only found out you had something important to do when we finally found Taiji."

Ye Zhuang looked angry and hurt.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for making my two older brothers worry."

Hua Yan spoke without any real thought, and after finishing, she bowed deeply to the two of them, as if she had been forced into it.

Hehe! Ye Zhuang was so angry he laughed. Behind Hua Yan's sly smile, he saw that she had been pranked. He wanted to flick her forehead, but afraid of hurting her, he reluctantly ruffled the top of her head as punishment.

"Don't be angry. I'll give you a big gift later as an apology. But let me make it clear beforehand, you can't refuse."

"Refuse? Why refuse? Do you know how worried your older brother and I were about you? Your gift is a way to heal our wounds."

"Great! I will definitely mend your emotional wounds so perfectly that you won't be able to see a single scar."

By the way, have you all gotten your driver's licenses yet?

Hua Yan's words changed a bit too quickly, and the two of them were a little caught off guard.

"We got them a long time ago. You told us to take the driving test, and my brother and I did it right away. We've had them for over a year now. We were thinking that when Brother Kong comes over, we'll get to drive a BMW!"

Ye Zhuang looked on with longing.

"Why are you driving Uncle Wen's car? Come here, let me show you the gifts."

Hua Yan mysteriously led the two to an open space where two cars were parked alone.

Seeing the two cars, Ye Zhuang and Men Sheng understood everything.

"These are for you. They just came off the production line in Shenzhen. I had Uncle Wen specially bring them over for you two. See if you like them."

Hua Yan spoke casually, but Ye Zhuang and Men Sheng were completely stunned.

The air seemed to freeze. Ye Zhuang and Men Sheng stared blankly at Hua Yan, something stuck in their throats, unable to say anything, and they were about to suffocate!

"Oh dear! What are you doing! My eldest and second brothers, Hua Yan, have such audacity. It's truly disappointing."

Hua Yan took out two car keys from her handbag, giving the BMW key to Men Sheng and the Mercedes key to Ye Zhuang. Hua Yan already knew their preferences and had told Kong Wen beforehand, so the cars would be delivered as soon as they came off the production line.

These two cars have been parked here for ten days, just waiting for their owner to come and pick them up.

Holding the car keys that had been forcibly shoved into their hands, the two of them still looked like they were in a dream, appearing both euphoric and incredulous.

"Hey! Hurry up, you're not allowed to show it if you don't like it, or I'll get upset."

Hua Yan pushed the two of them to the car, grabbed their hands, and opened the car door.

"Drive slowly on campus. Anyone want to give me a ride?"

The two men looked at Hua Yan and instinctively took her hand.

"Big brother, you're the eldest brother, let me have Jiu'er. My grandpa keeps talking about Jiu'er when we come to our house for dinner today, and he wants me to bring her home for dinner. He likes to chat with Jiu'er."

Ye Zhuang knew that Hua Yan's words were useless now; only Men Sheng could make concessions.

Men Sheng stopped insisting when Grandpa Ye was mentioned and let go of his hand.

"Thank you, brother, for following us in your car."

Ye Zhuang wanted Men Sheng to ride in his car, but then he thought, how could that be possible? He didn't want to do anything right now, he just wanted to get behind the wheel of this car he had never seen before.

The two of them took the car without thinking about the consequences, because they liked it so much.

Hua Yan was a little worried as she watched the two of them go from being stunned to excited.

"Big brother, second brother, you two familiarize yourselves with the car's performance here first, and then drive it on the road."

If you don't mind, I'll tell you first. Haha!

Hua Yan channeled her professional explanation skills and began to explain the various functions of the car in detail.

Haha! This is nothing. The cars nowadays can't compare to the cars in my previous life, or even the cars in my space. They're just child's play.

"Jiu'er, you participated in the manufacturing and design?"

Ye Zhuang voiced Men Sheng's confusion.

"Haha! I'm a shareholder, shouldn't the designs have my approval? Why should I put them into production if I haven't been shown the design highlights? So what's wrong with me knowing these things?"

Haha! Ninth Master knows all this even with his eyes closed.

Okay! You're the boss, you're amazing! Ye Zhuang was speechless, and Men Sheng was speechless too.

Hua Yan sat in the car and watched them operate it skillfully before letting them drive away.

Ye Zhuang was excited the whole way, and Hua Yan's lips also curled up in a smile.

No matter the era, what boy doesn't like cars? If there are no cars, they like motorcycles; if there are no motorcycles, they like bicycles; if there are no bicycles, they like oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages. Haha!

When the car arrived at the Ye family's house, neither Ye Zhuang nor Men Sheng wanted to get out.

"Want to take another lap?"

Hua Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay! Two more laps."

Ye Zhuang didn't stand on ceremony at all.

He passed by his home three times without going in. A street vendor nearby couldn't stand it anymore and knocked on the car window, asking:

“I’ve seen you wander around here several times. Are you looking for someone’s house? Ask me, I know this area quite well.”

"Oh! Old Wang! You've found your way home, but you don't know where to park, you're afraid it'll get in the way."

"Oh my! It's Young Master Ye. You've upgraded your equipment quite a bit?"

"Haha! Old Wang, what are you talking about? What do you mean by upgrading from a slingshot to a cannon? I'm opening the door to a rocket, don't you understand?"

Old Wang looked at the newly made car, smacked his lips and clicked his teeth, looking envious and jealous.

After uttering a few boastful remarks, Ye Zhuang reluctantly stopped the car and got out. He then looked back several times with lingering affection before leading Hua Yan and Men Sheng into the house.
