He Zhicheng immediately understood and hurriedly handed over a towel.

"Do you understand where you lost?" He Wenliang's voice was calm and powerful.

"I understand. I underestimated the enemy." He Zhicheng replied.

"You underestimated your opponent because you are still young and not steady enough. That young man took advantage of this." He Wenliang folded the towel in his hand, his eyes deep, "If you don't change this habit, you will still lose the next time we meet."

Taking the towel handed over by his father, He Zhicheng gritted his teeth and said, "I know, Dad. I just feel a little bit dissatisfied."

"The victory or defeat at the moment is not important," He Wenliang said, gazing into his son's eyes. "The key is whether you can learn lessons from failure, rather than simply blaming it on underestimating the enemy as an excuse."

"Otherwise," he said more emphatically, "you will always be a loser."

"Consider this three million as a lesson for you. As long as you can learn something from it, it will be worth it."

Hearing this, He Zhicheng felt uncomfortable, but he was speechless facing his father.

He Wenliang glanced at him and continued, "In fact, although you suffered a loss this time, you also accidentally obtained some valuable information."

He Zhicheng looked at his father in confusion: "Dad, what does this mean?"

“There was news recently that a piece of land on South Bank was going to be auctioned, along with the development rights for the entire area.”

He Zhicheng was stunned. The topic changed so quickly that he was caught off guard.

"A place like South Bank is so desolate. Who would buy there? It's not suitable for development and living except for the scenery. It's not worth investing in, right?"

"Are you saying that I shouldn't have taken a fancy to that piece of land?" He Wenliang smiled faintly. "Investment requires foresight. The real wealth opportunities are often not in front of you."

He Zhicheng frowned and retorted: "But Dad, that place is too remote. I'm afraid it will be difficult to develop in the short term."

"The possibility of development is not the most important thing," He Wenliang said firmly. "This land will be of great use in the future, and that's where its value lies."

He Wenliang squinted his eyes and took a sip of the tea in the purple clay teapot.

He Zhicheng looked at his father, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind. He asked, "Dad, are you saying that the cooperation between Hualong and Teng'ao is actually for this piece of land?"

He had known for a long time that the two big companies were interested in joining forces, and the news of the cooperation was publicly announced at the charity dinner yesterday.

At this moment, his father's words made him realize that there might be a game of interests hidden behind it.

He Wenliang's fingers slowly stroked the precious purple clay teapot, and he said in a deep voice: "Du Bowen has been very active recently, especially in the real estate sector. He has even registered a new real estate company in a hurry."

"This person has always been cautious in his actions. He will never act rashly unless he sees a clear benefit."

"He is so eager, he must have discovered some exciting opportunity."

"I have sent people to investigate, but one thing is certain, he is determined to get this land. And this place obviously has great potential, so we must seize it."

At this point, he turned to He Zhicheng and said with a firm look: "I plan to set up a real estate company specifically responsible for this project and give you the important task. This is both a test for you and an opportunity for growth."

Hearing this, He Zhicheng was overwhelmed with emotion.

His long-cherished wish to prove himself finally got the chance to come true, especially when he thought about having a head-on confrontation with the Du family and Zhou Qi soon, which made him even more motivated.

"Dad, don't worry, I will do my best on this matter."

He Wenliang stared at his son and said earnestly: "Remember, a man should focus on his career first. When your achievements reach a certain level, everything else will follow naturally."

"I understand. This time, I will never let the opportunity slip away." He Zhicheng responded firmly.

Before leaving, He Wenliang patted his son on the shoulder and left a philosophical remark: "Only when the mind is calm can one think far, and only after careful consideration can one gain something.

If you can understand this, you are already halfway to success, and everything you have done before will be worth it. "

As his father's figure gradually walked away, He Zhicheng's eyes fell on the newspaper on the table.

"Just wait and see," he said to himself, "I will definitely avenge my previous humiliation this time."

……

As night fell, it was already seven o'clock in the evening when Zhou Qi returned home.

Lin Ruixue had already prepared a sumptuous dinner and had been waiting for a long time.

After the three of them had a warm dinner together, Zhou Changchun watched TV on the sofa and then went back to his room to rest.

When he returned to the living room, Lin Ruixue handed him a peeled apple. At this time, the TV screen was playing the trailer of "The Voice of China", which was about to be broadcast.

"The show will premiere tomorrow." Lin Ruixue looked at her partner and asked, "Are you planning to go to the Spring Market?"

Zhou Qi took a bite of the apple in his hand, shook his head and replied, "No need to go. The company's operations are now on track, and Shi Feijie and his men are more than capable of handling it."

"Oh, what about Haishi?" She continued, "Do you need to go there often to handle matters?"

Zhou Qi was taking a bite of an apple when he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" he asked, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

Lin Ruixue's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile, "It's nothing, actually, I just feel that you have been too busy lately, always running around."

There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, "Especially since you weren't home these few days, Dad missed you so much."

Zhou Qi smiled, and that smile was filled with love for his family, "What about you? Don't you miss me?"

"Of course I do." Lin Ruixue smiled even more brightly, "So I wonder, why do we have to go to such a far place like Hai City to discuss business? Wouldn't it be nice for us to do some small business and live a comfortable life?"

"That's enough. Why make yourself so tired?" she said with concern.

Zhou Qi nodded to show his understanding. He knew what his wife was thinking. "Our current life is indeed enough for our family to have no worries about food and clothing. But people always have to have some aspirations, right? For example, becoming one of the richest people in the country."

Hearing this, Lin Ruixue couldn't help but laugh: "The richest man in the country? How much money does one have to save to be rich?"

Zhou Qi thought about it and gave a number: "Probably at least tens of billions."

The astronomical figure of tens of billions made Lin Ruixue feel dizzy.

She shook her head and tried to change the subject: "Can you tell me about Hualong Electric? I can see your company's advertisements everywhere recently."
