I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 393 "I just want to live the life I love with the person I love."

“Your idea is perfectly reasonable,” Huang Hua said. “It has always been the case throughout history to consolidate one’s position, gain more resources and connections through intermarriage in the county town.”

"However, once you reach a certain level of status, it can be dangerous to continue using this method. Having too many resources is not necessarily a good thing."

Huang Hua's words were meaningful, and although he didn't say it outright, Miao Wei could understand them perfectly well.

He didn't say anything more, and peeled an orange and put it in his mouth.

"Actually, these are all ideas from the older generation. My idea is very simple: to find a girl I like and live a simple life together." Huang Hua's tone became more relaxed.
"As Zhang Zai said in his four-line poem: 'To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to continue the lost learning of the past sages, and to bring peace to all generations,' I don't have that ability, nor am I interested in it. I just want to live the life I like with the people I like."

Live the life you love with the person you love.

Miao Wei pondered these words.

Seeing Miao Wei deep in thought, Huang Hua smiled and said, "Let me tell you another secret. Do you know how I met Brother Fang?"

“Brother Fang said you were introduced to the company for an internship by a friend of his,” Miao Wei replied.

"That's right. If it were just an internship, I wouldn't have worked this hard, would I? I helped him hack into other companies' computers to steal secrets and upgraded his company's network security, and he only gave me 2000 yuan a month as an internship salary."

"Why is that?" Miao Wei was also curious.

How could someone with Huang Hua's background and status work like a laborer for Fang Qingye?
“Because of my sister,” Huang Hua said.

"Your sister?" This was the first time Mai Miaowei had heard Huang Hua mention that he had an older sister.

“Yes, it’s my older sister. She’s currently pursuing her PhD in the United States. My sister and Fang Ge met online and have a very good relationship, but they’ve never met in person,” Huang Hua said.

"Online dating?!" Miao Wei's gossip instincts immediately ignited.

"I guess so. I feel like my sister really likes Brother Fang, but I reckon my parents will definitely object, since we're not a good match," Huang Hua said with a smile.

"Now it seems that even if my parents didn't object, it would be impossible. Fang has a girlfriend, and that Bai Ou looks like a good match for him—I heard her dad is the director of your county's education bureau?"

“Yes, Fang Ge’s dad and Bai Ou’s dad were college classmates. I heard it from my dad,” Miao Wei added.

"Oh, Bai Ou may be a girl who grew up in a small county, but she's quite knowledgeable after going to graduate school, and she's beautiful too. She'll be a great help to Brother Fang." Huang Hua finished speaking and then smiled:

"Brother Fang is quite an interesting guy. I've met some rich kids and nouveau riche in the city and county, but he's the most unique. And he's also very capable," Huang Hua said with a smile.

"Yes, I admire him too. He's not much older than me, but he owns several companies, and I heard his assets are already over a billion," Miao Wei said.

“You’re wrong.” Huang Hua shook his head: “A billion-dollar fortune is nothing. The main thing is that he invented the bit. I won’t go into details; it’s a state secret.”

Since it was a state secret, Miao Wei, though curious, did not press the matter further.

Miao Wei chatted for a while longer before leaving.

He decided to go back and tell his parents that he had no feelings for the girl he had met on a blind date.

I need to find one I like, right?
The next morning, the group met at the Chundu Hotel and spent almost the entire day visiting tourist attractions such as Langshan National Forest Park and Shigang Fishing Bay before returning to Nanxin in the afternoon.

After dinner, instead of going to the karaoke bar at Da Shi Jie this time, we went for a walk in Nanxinhu Park.

They chatted as they walked, with Fang Qingye and Huang Hua following behind.

"Huang Hua, your sister didn't come back this summer vacation?" Fang Qingye asked.

"Didn't she tell you on QQ?" "She initially said she hadn't decided, but then we stopped hearing from her," Fang Qingye said.

“She stayed at home in Yanjing for a week before returning to the United States. Unlike me, she’s very busy,” Huang Hua said.

"Busy? Busy with what?"

"You don't know? You're involved with Bitcoin, you know." When Bitcoin was mentioned, Huang Hua lowered his voice noticeably: "Brother Fang, you've really ruined my sister's life. She talks about it all the time."

Fang Qingye was speechless for a moment before saying, "Actually, there's really no need. Just let it develop as it is."

"That's what I thought too, but my sister said no, that we shouldn't underestimate Bitcoin. It's like opening Pandora's box, involving changes and challenges in the financial field, and even the possibility of financial hegemony. We must prepare for the future."

After Huang Hua finished speaking, he laughed and said, "My sister is different from me. She is a very responsible person. She was sent abroad to study on a government scholarship, so of course she has to contribute to the country."

Sense of responsibility?
Fang Qingye couldn't help but think of the eccentric girl on QQ; he found it hard to connect the two.

However, Fang Qingye was well aware of Huang Tao's unusual enthusiasm for Bitcoin.

"Hey, Brother Fang, tell me the truth." Huang Hua glanced at Bai Ou, who was walking ahead chatting and laughing with Mei Duo: "Do you like my sister?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense." Fang Qingye quickly clarified: "Your sister and I met online and are very good friends, but there's nothing like that between us. It's you, Huang Hua, who's more interested in me."

"What am I?"

"You like Meadow?"

"Yes, I don't deny it. I liked her the moment I saw her, so what?"

"Seriously, not just playing around?"

"Of course! If I really wanted to have fun, why would I go to a nightclub and look for her?" Huang Hua retorted.

"Then you should be serious. I treat Meiduo like my little sister, so you're not allowed to bully her!" Fang Qingye said with a serious expression.

Huang Hua chuckled and said, "Brother Fang, since you treat Mei Duo like your sister, shouldn't I call you brother-in-law? Tell Mei Duo what I think?"

"Why don't you go and say it yourself?" Fang Qingye asked.

"I feel embarrassed. What if I get rejected?"

Ah?
"Forget it, I can't help you with this. Go and say it yourself!"

The next morning, Huang Hua and Liu Ximei drove back to Shanghai, while Fang Qingye went fishing at Yingchi Pond all day.

Today is the last day of the National Day holiday. After getting up this morning, Fang Qingye had nothing to do, so she suddenly decided to go to the sales office of Lakeside Elegance.

The first phase of Lakeside Residences was sold out by Labor Day this year. The second phase officially went on sale on October 4th, and it was already the third day, so he wanted to go and check on the sales situation.

Without notifying company staff or calling Luo Yan, Fang Qingye drove alone straight to the sales office of the real estate development, located across the street from the east gate of Nanxinhu Park.

Fang Qingye parked her car in the parking lot at the main entrance and walked towards the sales office. As soon as she entered the sales office, someone greeted her: "Hello, Mr. Fang."

Fang Qingye recognized a pretty girl in a dark blue office lady dress; she was her elementary school classmate, Zhao Qiong.
