Xue Sumei lowered her head and said, "That makes sense. If inviting someone to dinner turns into causing them trouble, then it's better not to invite them at all."

Yang Tao sighed and said, "In my opinion, we should take you to Shanghai for another two days before you go back!"

Xue Sumei thought for a while, then nodded dejectedly and said, "That's the only way!"

On the other side, Yang Chu looked at the stock prices of Sequoia Capital and Phyllis Group and shook his head helplessly.

"Just go with the flow! This time, the higher-ups are intentionally guiding several large domestic corporations to carry out a commercial plunder, so there's no need to be so careful."

Li Yeqing had actually thought of this as well, and nodded, saying, "That's what I think too."

"Cunning old foxes, cunning old foxes, you're absolutely right! Those old foxes have calculated everything. Forget it! Never mind them, just do your thing. I should think about how to design our island. Through this incident, I've realized that no matter how much trouble we cause, we can't escape their control. I'll just develop the island and become its owner."

Li Yeqing chuckled and said, "We will do whatever you say, sir. We will follow your orders."

"Don't make fun of me! Alright, I'm leaving everything here to you."

Li Yeqing nodded, and Yang Chu left.

Two more days passed, and Yang Chu finished drawing up the design plans for the island and handed them over to Li Yexi.

After Li Yexi finished reading it, she ordered people to develop the island.

Xue Sumei spent two days in Shanghai and was about to leave.

When Xue Sumei left, Jiang Lai made proper arrangements, setting up two tables for a farewell banquet. Xue Sumei also took the opportunity to apologize to Jiang Lai and the others.

Jiang Lai exchanged a few polite words, and the matter was dropped.

The day after Xue Sumei left, Hu Yifei and Bao Niannian met with Xu Li.

Following Jiang Lai's instructions, Hu Yifei took out the jade carving and placed it aside.

Seeing this situation, Xu Li secretly groaned inwardly; what was bound to happen had finally arrived.

After Bao Niannian finished expressing Jiang Lai's meaning, she looked at Xu Li and asked Xu Li to also express her opinion.

Xu Li finally understood that Jiang Lai and Yang Chu had the same idea: they didn't want her to accept any more missions, but rather to be a figurehead for Yang Chu and provide her with a guarantee for the future.

If Xu Li doesn't agree, then the jade carving in front of Hu Yifei will have a purpose.

Although Xu Li was unwilling to compromise with Jiang Lai and the others, she had no choice but to agree.

From then on, Xu Li spent her days going between the psychological clinic, the bar, her home, and the villa in Sheshan, and never left Shanghai again.

June 7th arrived in the blink of an eye, the day Peng Jiahe would take the college entrance examination.

Other candidates take the college entrance examination very carefully, and need their parents to accompany them.

However, Peng Jiahe stood out from the crowd. He was always the first to enter the examination room and the first to leave. When he left, he would drive a sports car in a high-profile manner, which made the parents of the students taking the college entrance examination look down on him.

However, what those parents who looked down on Peng Jiahe didn't know was that Peng Jiahe left early because she had already secured a four-star hotel and planned to open it after the college entrance examination.

This was the task Yang Chu assigned to Peng Jiahe: to acquire a physical business before things calmed down in Shanghai's shopping malls.

Peng Jiahe did a fantastic job, not only securing a four-star hotel but also planning to make a profit after the college entrance examination.

Three more years passed, and Yang Chu's island was developed. He spent his days taking care of his children, and the days of his former lovers were gone, replaced only by the children's cries.

When Yang Chu was ninety-three years old, he held the dying Jiang Lai in his arms and watched the sunset by the sea.

Jiang Lai suddenly asked Yang Chu, "Does my saliva noodles smell good?"

After Jiang Lai finished speaking, she held the jade carving in her hand, tilted her head, and leaned into Yang Chu's arms.

Looking at the sunset over the beach, Yang Chu said, "It stinks! It doesn't smell good at all."

After Yang Chu finished speaking, tears streamed down her face.

…………

…………

A strong wind blew down a sycamore tree.

You can't buy a road to heaven without money.

There are no trees in the world that can block out the sky.

Only money can subdue all things.

Money makes the world go round.

Without money, one is nothing more than a house slave.

Wealth and gold and silver are dazzling.

Do not cling to wealth and glory.

A lifetime spent busy with money

Only on the verge of death do we realize that everything is vanity.

【Finish】

First of all, I want to thank all the friends who have been reading my novels. Those who have read this far are true fans.

Please allow me to say

Thank you!

(bows) (bows) (bows again)

To be honest, this novel had already fallen apart when it reached 300,000 words. I was thinking of ending it then, but I thought I could hone my skills, so I continued writing.

As for what genre to write for my next novel, I haven't decided yet. I've wanted to write a martial arts novel since I wrote my first one, but my friend (General Fei Peng) said that nobody reads martial arts novels now, and I'm more familiar with urban novels.

I'd like to hear everyone's opinions. Please leave a comment! Thank you!

Bow! Bow! Bow!

Writing is hard work, so please support me. I don't expect any gifts, just a little positive review would be appreciated. Thank you.

See you again, Tomato!

There will be an extra chapter around 6 PM!
