Qi Yingxue keyed in Yang Guang’s account number and carried out the transfer. Soon, the money was deposited into his account.
After his banking SMS service was activated, Yang Guang received a message notifying him that the amount had been received.
“That was fast!” Yang Guang noted in amazement.
“Of course. In this digital age, everything is!” Qi Yingxue smiled.
“Ms. Qi, this gold nugget is now yours. Where do you want to put it?” Yang Guang asked with a smile as he took out the ore.
“I have another idea. Such an expensive item is not suitable for the office. I am in need of a gift for someone, so I think that’s what I will do with it!” Qi Yingxue smiled.
Yang Guang acknowledged her idea without further comment.
After all, the ore was hers now, and she had the right to do whatever she wanted with it.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Guang wanted to head to the bank to withdraw some money before returning home.
But Qi Yingxue was reluctant to let him leave just like that. She called out to him cheerfully, “What is this? You intend to just slip away after making a fortune? I’m not having it!”
“Ms. Qi, I no longer have any business here, . Why would I stay?” Yang Guang asked.
“You treated my pain, and I haven’t thanked you yet. Let me take you out for lunch!” Qi Yingxue suggested.
Yang Guag didn’t refuse her offer. “Sure thing.”
He then chirped, “Ms. Qi, you work at a resort, so it must be convenient for you to take people out for a meal!”
“Not quite. We won’t be dining here. We’re going somewhere else!” Qi Yingxue grinned as she got up and grabbed her purse. “Let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere really nice!”
“Okay!”
Yang Guang was looking forward to it. Although it was not as if he had never been to a restaurant in the city, he was sure that Qi Yingxue wouldn’t take him to some hole-in-the-wall.
After they got in the car, Qi Yingxue asked, “By the way, do you like seafood?”
“I do, but we are nowhere near the ocean, so that stuff is too expensive for us to afford!” Yang Guang replied.
“Actually, it isn’t cheap even near the ocean!” Qi Yingxue remarked and then proceeded to start the car. “Then it’s decided—we shall go for a seafood buffet!”
Soon, they arrived at a three-story restaurant at the south side of town. When they entered, they found that business was bustling in the crowded space. Yang Guang was a little overwhelmed.
“This area is for general customers and it’s too loud. Let’s go up!”
With that, Qi Yingxue went straight up the stairs.
Yang Guang glanced at the prices displayed at the bottom of the staircase, and his jaw dropped.
The price for the seafood buffet was 81 dollars on the first floor, 198 on the second floor, and 498 on the third floor!
Doing a quick calculation in his head, Yang Guang found that if he were to have a meal with Qi Yingxue on the third floor, it would cost him nearly a month’s income that he would get from working at the clinic!
One meal that was worth an entire month’s income—Yang Guang suddenly felt that was a little too exorbitant.
As he went upstairs, he muttered to himself, “Just what kind of seafood would be this expensive? Mermaid meat?”
It was much quieter on the third floor, which consisted of small, private dining spaces to ensure diners’ privacy.
Yang Guang was new to all of this, so Qi Yingxue took care of the order.
Soon, lobsters and king crabs made their way to the table.
The food was delicious, of course. But as he was eating, he thought of his sister-in-law and Yaya, and his spirits fell.
But when he remembered that he now was also in possession of a large sum of money and that he could bring them for have a feast here another time, he felt better again.
Seeing him eat with great gusto, Qi Yingxue’s eyes was filled with affectionate indulgence. Although she had only met this young man just this morning, she was impressed by his frankness and honesty, unlike many around her who were constantly scheming. Naturally, she was quite fond of this young man.
She asked as they ate, “How’s the business at the clinic back home?”
“It’s all right. I earn a few hundred a month, which is enough,” Yang Guang answered.
“That’s it?” Qi Yingxue was shocked by his answer. “You are so skilled, so how could be making so little money?”
“Well, you see…” Yang Guang briefly explained to her the situation at the village.
Seeing that Qi Yingxue was deep in thought, he quickly added, “We may be poor right now, but things will get better soon enough!”
“Really? Why is that?” Qi Yingxue asked out of curiosity.
“I will lead everyone to prosperity!” Yang Guang replied. “By the way, Ms. Xu Ling is there as well. She is our new secretary. With her around, the villagers will definitely have a better life!”
“So this is how you got to know her. She’s at your village?” Qi Yingxue finally put two and two together. “How do you plan on ‘leading everyone to prosperity’?”
When it came to this topic, Yang Guang was full of pride. “I’ve thought it through. First, we will plant some Tianma, and then we will plant fruits and vegetables. As long as the crops make money, we will use all the available land in the village!”
“So farming?” Qi Yingxue pondered this for a moment. “Qingshan Village is so remote. What will you do about transportation?”
“Um…”
Yang Guang had been pretty high spirited when he was talking about his plan, but this question stopped him in his track. He was stumped for a moment, but after giving the matter some thought, he gave an answer. “It’s fine. I have money now. I’ll just get the roads fixed!”
Once again, Qi Yingxue was amused by him. She glanced at Yang Guang. “Silly boy, road construction is very expensive. Your few hundred thousand will not be enough!”
“Is that so?” When Yang Guang heard this, his eyes darted around as he tried to think of an alternative. Soon, he had an idea. “That’s okay. I will grow the Tianma first and wait until I get enough money. Then, I will fix the roads!”
Observing his confident demeanor, Qi Yingxue thought that it sure was nice to be young!
She was only four years older than him, but she had already seen too much of how this world worked, and she felt that mentally, she was already about sixty years old. She no longer had that youthful energy to take risks.
When she noticed how passionate Yang Guang was about his big plans, he grew on her even more. “Your idea is great, and I support you. But planting Tianma seems to involve some technical complexity. Do you know anything about that?”
“Nope, I don’t!” Yang Guang didn’t even think about it before he answered. “But I can learn. I have a bet with someone, so I can’t lose!”
This piqued Qi Yingxue’s curiosity. Just as she was about to ask what the bet was about, someone entered the room. A man with fair complexion walked in with a grin and looked at Qi Yingxue. “I thought it might be you when I heard the voice through the door. To think that I was right!”
“Chu Xuan, what are you doing here?” Qi Yingxue asked.
“To dine, of course!” Chu Xuan smiled as his eyes turned to Yang Guang. “Would you like to introduce us?”
“This is Yang Guang, a new friend!” Qi Yingxue introduced him. Then she said to Yang Guang, “This is Chu Xuan, a classmate from college.”
“Ah, we’re not just classmates, but also family friends. We’ve known each other since we were kids!” Chu Xuan smiled and proceeded to sit next to Qi Yingxue without invitation. He looked at Yang Guang.. “So, Mr. Yang? What do you do?”

Furthermore, each room had its own dedicated wait staff. The diners didn’t have to get up and take anything for themselves, as the staff would do everything for them.Yang Guang was new to all of this, so Qi Yingxue took care of the order.
