Cao Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

No matter where a person is, once you remove the label of his identity, he is just an ordinary person.

After receiving Cao Yue's solemn promise, Zhou Zhennan did not say anything more on this topic.

He just asked Cao Yue to take Zhou Xiaobai and the children to the south after some time.

As for Chen Yijun, he will explain.

Afterwards, Zhou Zhennan asked about Cao Yue’s situation in Hong Kong Island.

Cao Yue did not hide anything and told him everything about how he wrote a book in Hong Kong Island, how he later won a lottery to start a company, and how he planned to return to Beijing to open a hotel.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhennan couldn't hide his shock on his face.

In just half a year, Cao Yue's net worth has reached hundreds of millions?

Although it seemed like a fantasy, Zhou Zhennan knew that there was no reason for Cao Yue to lie to her.

"You kid...can do it!"

Zhou Zhennan is not a snobbish person, but he was still very happy to hear that Cao Yue was so successful.

After all, his daughter won't have to suffer if she follows him.

"Now that all places are undergoing reform and opening up, it's great that you can come back to invest, but remember to abide by the law and don't do anything that goes against your conscience," Zhou Zhennan warned.

Cao Yue knew that Zhou Zhennan meant well, so he agreed quickly.

Zhou Zhennan thought for a moment and reminded, "Your past was a big deal. Although you went to Hong Kong Island and the matter has been resolved, your reputation has been ruined after all."

"If you come back to invest in construction, many people will be hesitant to deal with you. Have you thought about what to do?"

Cao Yue said confidently: "I have thought of this a long time ago and decided to donate a sum of money to various universities."

Zhou Zhennan looked at Cao Yue with a high opinion of him and agreed: "Not bad, not bad, your idea is very good, it kills two birds with one stone."

As the two were talking, Liu Quan suddenly walked over.

"Leader..." Liu Quan glanced at Cao Yue, obviously having something important to say.

Cao Yue stood up with a tactful look and said, "Uncle Zhou, since you have something to do, I will come to see you next time."

"Okay, you go back first." Zhou Zhennan nodded, and finally reminded, "Don't forget what you promised me."

Cao Yue promised with a smile on his face that he would never forget it. He left the Zhou family's yard, looked back at the small Western-style building, and thought that the matter was finally resolved.

I thought I would encounter severe criticism today, but I didn't expect Zhou Zhennan to be so easy to talk to.

If you think about it carefully, it's not surprising.

Zhou Zhennan has been in a high position for many years and has remained safe and sound in the face of major storms. It is clear that his political wisdom and vision are extraordinary!

Cao Yue and Zhou Xiaobai have already made it, and they have a child, so what can Zhou Zhennan do?

Swearing and beating people are the lowest means. It would be better to let Cao Yue feel guilty and grateful, and be extra nice to his daughter in the future.

Zhou Zhennan originally wanted Liu Quan to send a car to take Cao Yue back, but Cao Yue refused.

As soon as I walked out of the military compound, I heard a hesitant voice from the front.

"Are you Cao Yue?"

Cao Yue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in military uniform walking towards him.

The two looked at each other, and finally Cao Yue recognized each other's identity.

Zhang Haiyang!

Zhou Xiaobai’s bootlicker back then.

This kid has changed so much that Cao Yue didn't recognize him at first sight.

"It's you, Zhang Haiyang." Cao Yue looked at Zhang Haiyang and asked, "I heard from Ning Wei that you were doing well in the army. Are you back to visit your family?"

Zhang Haiyang had originally felt sour in his heart when he looked at Cao Yue, who had outstanding temperament and appearance. Now after hearing what Cao Yue said, he felt even more bitter.

"I came back to see my parents." Zhang Haiyang said vaguely.

Then he changed the subject: "Are you here to visit...Uncle Zhou?"

Zhang Haiyang originally wanted to ask Cao Yue if he was visiting Zhou Xiaobai, but changed his mind when the words came to his lips.

Cao Yue nodded, "Uncle Zhou is back for a meeting, I came to see him."

After that, Cao Yue looked at his watch and said, "I have something else to do. Let's talk next time."

Zhang Haiyang opened his mouth to ask about Zhou Xiaobai's situation, but finally swallowed his words and watched Cao Yue leave.

……

After a while, Cao Yue walked into an empty alley, and his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Soon, Cao Yue arrived near Courtyard No. 95.

Many big things are happening in Siheyuan nowadays.

First of all, Sha Zhu was fired by Yan Jiecheng and his wife.

Because it was agreed that Shazhu could bring four dishes home from the restaurant every day.

When Yan Bugui and his wife learned about this, they were very dissatisfied.

Neither the father nor the mother had a chance to eat a single dish cooked at the restaurant.

On the other hand, Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family, who didn't want to do it, had delicious meals every day, and even ate and drank with different flavors.

This really hits Yan Bugui right in the heart!

Yan Jiecheng and his wife had long been dissatisfied with Sha Zhu.

It just so happened that he bribed Sha Zhu's apprentice Fatty, and he replaced Sha Zhu as the chef.

However, Yan Jiecheng and his wife were not having an easy time either, as they were fooled by the fat man.

Shazhu is not stupid at all. He didn't teach the fat man how to cook, which resulted in the dishes cooked by the fat man not suiting the customers' taste at all.

Yan Jiecheng's restaurant business plummeted and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The Jia family lost their monthly income of 2,000 yuan, plus four meat dishes a day, and their quality of life dropped sharply.

They all blamed Sha Zhu for being incompetent and making them suffer.

When some people are frustrated, others will naturally be happy.

Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong made a lot of money by doing business together.

Money gives birth to a filial son!

In order to please Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu brought their wives and children back to the courtyard and lived in the temporary houses that had been built.

So Huaihua and Xiaodang were left with no place to live.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu built two temporary houses in front of his own house and the Jia family's house respectively.

Huaihua and Xiaodang moved in, solving their housing problem.

After Cao Yue looked through the entire courtyard, he saw that there was no one in the courtyard and suddenly appeared in his own courtyard.

After more than three months, the house was completed.

At Cao Yue's request, all the houses are made of wood.

It is an antique house, and all the furniture inside is made of rosewood.

Originally, Mr. Liu wanted to build a corridor, but Cao Yue thought it would make the space too cramped and refused.

Cao Yue took a tour and was generally satisfied.

Afterwards, Cao Yue did not leave in a hurry. Thinking about what he had just seen, Huaihua taking a nap, his eyes were full of smiles.

Huaihua was sleeping soundly on the bed, and because the room was not well heated, she was covered with a thick quilt.

Suddenly, she felt as if someone had entered the room, and the quilt covering her head was lifted.

I opened my eyes blearily, and a smirking face came into view.

"Woo..."

Huaihua was about to scream subconsciously, but Cao Yue was ready to cover her mouth.

"It's me." Cao Yue said with a smile.

When Huaihua saw clearly that it was Cao Yue, she stopped struggling, with joy in her eyes.

Cao Yue took his hand away, sat on the edge of the bed, stared at Huaihua's attractive pink face, and his index finger suddenly became aroused.

"A gift for you." Cao Yue then reached into his pocket as a cover and took out a few jewelry boxes from the space.

“This is… wow!”

When Huaihua opened the box, she saw a gold necklace, a gold bracelet, a gold anklet, and gold earrings inside, forming a complete set.

"Do you like it?" Cao Yue said with a smile, "Come, I'll put it on for you."

As he spoke, Cao Yue put all the gold jewelry on Huaihua.

The girl has a pretty face, her skin is fair and delicate, with a rosy glow, and with the gold jewelry on, she looks even more bright.

"It's so beautiful!" I don't know whether Cao Yue was talking about the person or the gold jewelry.

Huaihua touched the necklace shyly, her eyes full of spring water.

Cao Yue swallowed and couldn't help but said, "Huaihua, I just came back and I'm a little tired. I want to take a nap."

"Ah?" Huaihua was stunned and instantly understood what Cao Yue meant.

"Here...it's not convenient here...my mother...it will be troublesome if my mother hears it..." Huaihua stuttered.

"It's okay, we'll sleep together under the covers."

As he spoke, Cao Yue took off his shoes and coat and got into bed.

There was a fire in the room, but Cao Yue was worried that they would get cold, so he covered their heads with a quilt.
