He won 900 million in the lottery.

Angel City is the largest shopping mall in the city, so we could use the food there after dinner.

Me: "Shopping time! I'll pay!"

Zhou Minyi grabbed my hand: "Let's go!"

The first floor is mostly filled with luxury goods and gold and silver jewelry cabinets.

"Hello, welcome!"

Every week is a goldmine.

Zhou Minyi tried on the gold jewelry one by one.

I watched her beaming with joy. After all these years, I never imagined she would still be waiting for me.

The most pitiful thing about a man is his inferiority complex, and the greatest thing about him is also his inferiority complex.

He was too ashamed to pursue her.

He gave up pursuing her because of his inferiority complex, allowing her to find a better partner.

Now that I have the means, I can finally confront her past avoidance of me.

Me: "Which one do you like?"

Zhou Minyi glanced at it a few times, showing no reluctance: "Just looking is fine."

Me: "I'll buy it. I came here today just to buy it for you."

Zhou Minyi left hesitantly. We browsed several stores, but she still couldn't choose one she liked.

But now that the opportunity is right in front of me, how could I let it slip by? I must give her a surprise tonight.

I wandered from the first floor to the fourth floor. The police officer had great stamina. After finishing the first floor, I started looking for a chair, but she was still very interested and just browsed without buying anything!

All the way to the movie theater on the fourth floor.

Choose a documentary; it will create a better atmosphere.

Zhou Minyi: "Two large buckets of drinks, a mix of Fanta, Coke, and Sprite. And another large bucket of popcorn."

Haha, mixing Fanta, Coke, and Sprite is my unique way of drinking it. She thought it tasted awful back then, but I didn't expect her to still remember my hobby.

The screen lights up, and the movie begins.

She took a sip of her drink, without looking at me: "When we used to watch movies, you always put your feet on my knees."

Me: "Your feet are cold, let me warm them up for you."

Zhou Minyi: "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be such a hooligan back in high school."

My thoughts at the time were very simple. It was purely because Zhou Minyi's feet were very soft and beautiful. She knew martial arts, and her feet were so beautiful. I really didn't know how she maintained them.

Her fingertips brushed against the back of my hand: "The orange candy you brought that time, the wrapper got stuck in my teeth."

I touched her hand: "Hehe, didn't I take it off for you later?"

Haha, I was a genius back then, I used my mouth to help her. Recalling this, my hands started to move involuntarily. When young couples go to the movies, which one is well-behaved? Aren't they all enjoying the thrill of sneaking around?

After the movie, I took her to the supermarket, bought groceries, and promised her that today would just be a date.

At Zhou Minyi's home.

I was cooking in the kitchen when Zhou Minyi moved a small stool and sat behind me, looking at me. "I can't believe it, Tianyi, that you're right here beside me. You know, I thought about quitting my job and going to Shanghai to find you, but I figured you'd probably think I was immature, so I held back."

I turned around and patted her forehead: "How could I have been worthy of you back then? Now, I'm back."

Zhou Minyi hugged me: "You're back. Can you please not leave me? I was almost getting used to being alone, but now, without you, I really don't know how I'm going to live."

Me: "I'm not leaving. Don't worry, I'm going to focus on my business and make money. Then I'll come to your house to propose marriage."

Zhou Minyi: "Tianyi, let me tell you the truth, I'm not short of money. My family owns many gold shops and a construction company. Although my parents work in the provincial government, my uncles are still in Liancheng. You don't need to work so hard."

Me: "You know me."

Zhou Minyi hugged me even tighter: "I want to help you."

Me: "Don't worry, I'm not in a good position yet. I'll ask for your help when the time comes. By the way, I'm curious, as a local Brahmin, what's the size of your household?"

Zhou Minyi said proudly, "Do you know Angel City? All of its Zhouzhou chain gold stores belong to my aunt. My uncle's construction company is about the same size as Chen Hangtian's, but that's not our family's main business."

I asked curiously, "So, what's your family's main business?"

Zhou Minyi: "It's a chain pharmacy, located in Liancheng and the provincial capital."

I exclaimed in surprise, "So rich?"

Zhou Minyi: "Having money alone is not enough to open a business."

I understand what she meant.

Me: "Chen Hangtian invited me to start a company together. He said he could do a section of a municipal water-to-gas conversion project, worth 80 to 90 million yuan. I'm interested in doing it."

Zhou Minyi: "I'll support you as long as you do it. This gas-to-water pipeline conversion project is no simple matter; the profits have already been divided up in the provincial capital, and my uncle even got a contract—"

Me: "I'll have a go with Chen Hangtian, and this will be my first battle in the Lotus City Brahman."

Zhou Minyi: "To fight him, you need money, power, and influence—you can't lack any of them. How confident are you?"

Me: "Don't worry about the money, you've got everything else covered."

Zhou Minyi patted my head: "It means you're mature to think like this."

I kissed the woman and said, "I'm not stupid enough to not use such a big protective umbrella as you."

Zhou Minyi: "I'm just afraid that your male chauvinism will get the better of you, like when you went to Shanghai."

Me: "Nuonuo, I've changed."

Zhou Minyi: "You haven't changed, you've just become more ambitious. I support you."

Her family ultimately values ​​marriage between people of similar social standing. If I had nothing, she would naturally know she would be under a lot of pressure. If I had a better reputation, she would be able to persuade her parents.

Zhou Minyi introduced Chen Hangtian's background to me.

Mr. Chen started his business in earthwork and now manages all his construction projects, as well as municipal and property management businesses. He now focuses on building connections and developing his business in the provincial capital. He understands that the higher his connections go, the better he can protect the Chen family's businesses.

I frowned. Playing with dirt, so this means there's some kind of dark power involved. The father specializes in building connections, and the son specializes in making money. This family is really something else.

Zhou Minyi: "Many leaders in Liancheng are guests of honor of the Chen family. He has a manor in Beihuan, which was built by others for more than 800 million yuan, but he only spent a few hundred thousand yuan to get it."

Me: "I've been to that place. By the way, is Wu Lei from the Municipal Procuratorate his uncle?"

Zhou Minyi: "Wu Lei? He's only been in office for the last two years and has always been a centrist. I never expected that he was promoted by the Chen family. It seems that he is Chen Hangtian's biggest protector in Liancheng."

Me: "Is it difficult?"

Zhou Minyi smiled at me: "As long as the evidence is sufficient, we can make him suffer even if he doesn't die. But remember, it's okay to spar, but don't go too far, or it will be awkward for everyone."

Me: "For example, a municipal project like converting gasoline vehicles to run on water?"

Zhou Minyi: "Play whatever you want. If we really clash, he's a commoner and I'm an official. Even if Wu Lei comes, he'll have to give my dad some face. Besides, it's all about interests. As long as the stakes are high enough, it's hard to say who's protecting whom."

! ! ! ! !

What kind of divine family is this?
