In the end, the business card was torn up by Qin Zhongyue.

From those actions, it was obvious how much he hated Shi Yanyu.Xie Zhongxing didn’t pay much heed to this incident either.After the banquet, Qin Zhongyue took Xie Zhongxing around the capital, visiting the Great Wall as well as the Forbidden City. After a few days of this, Xie Zhongxing got sunstroke and could only rest at Qin Zhongyue’s place for several days.During this time, Qin Zhongyue’s phone rang off the hook. Mo Yu and his father had visited several times but because Qin Zhongyue wasn’t home, Qin Xiangqian perfunctorily sent them away.It was unknown how Mo Yu found out about Xie Zhongxing’s number, but he even called Xie Zhongxing several times. Xie Zhongxing was however still in a dizzy state and unable to answer.By the time he felt better, it was time to go back to A City.Qin Zhongyue didn’t go back with him. Xie Zhongxing was a little puzzled at first. Qin Zhongyue announced seriously, “I thought of something that can make money! I want to stay here to make money!”Xie Zhongxing, “…..Even though there is only one month left until university starts, you want to work? Don’t work as a duck anymore, it’s too physically tiring. Since you have done so well in the exam, you should do something better.”Qin Zhongyue, “…..I’m not going to be a duck, I’m going to be using my head to make money.”He noticed the look in Xie Zhongxing’s eyes and felt wronged, “You actually don’t believe in me!”He was surprised he managed to see through him. Xie Zhongxing immediately said with a sincere look, “Of course I believe in you. Even if you say you are a superhero, I would believe in you.”Qin Zhongyue was aggrieved, “………You’re mocking me.”Xie Zhongxing laughed. His tone became calm and gentle, “I was just joking around. Since you’re not coming back to A City with me, you can stay here, but don’t forget to study. I will call everyday to check on you.” He paused and then added, “And don’t rub one out too often. It’s not good for you.”Such earnest nagging…..He really was like a mother hen.Qin Zhongyue agreed to each of those points one by one. He was also very reluctant to part with Xie Zhongxing but Xie Zhongxing clearly wasn’t happy here. After thinking about it, he finally decided to let Xie Zhongxing go back.After Xie Zhongxing left, the first thing Qin Zhongyue did was find Qin Xiangqian and ask for money.Qin Xiangqian was a little surprised when he heard the reason, “You want to start your own business?”Qin Zhongyue looked resolute, “Yeah, I want to make money with my own abilities.”Qin Xiangqian went straight to the point, “You want to give money to that classmate of yours?”Qin Zhongyue, “?”Qin Xiangqian, “After investing in a few profitable projects, you drag your classmate in and let him make some money too. Isn’t that right?”Qin Zhongyue wondered, “You can do that?”Qin Xiangqian, “…...You weren’t thinking of doing that?”Qin Zhongyue said with some embarrassment, “I just wanted to raise my charm by earning some money on my own….”

Qin Xiangqian was a little speechless, “Then how much do you want?”Qin Zhongyue, “Give me a billion. I’ll test the waters first.”Qin Xiangqian, “?”He was angered, “You fool, you think one billion is easy to earn? And it’s just to test the waters?!”Qin Xiangqian had never yelled at him before. This reaction of his scared Qin Zhongyue into taking a step back, “Dad, don’t be angry. If one billion is too much, how about five hundred million? It can’t be less than that. If it’s less than that, I wouldn’t be able to make much money.”Qin Xiangqian, “…...Five hundred million is enough for you to buy a few medium sized companies okay? You’re trying to make money with that?”Qin Zhongyue felt wronged, “Then two hundred million. Don’t be so stingy. I could even let you be involved if you want.”Qin Xiangqian, “………”He was so angry, he had to stop to drink some water. After sending his son off, he messed his hair up in frustration only to suddenly pause and check his hand --- There were a few strands of hair in his hand.Qin Xiangqian, “……….”Him losing his hair wasn’t from working late nights. It was all because of Qin Zhongyue!*Two months later, it was almost autumn. The weather in the capital was however still quite hot.Not only was it hot, it was also very dry.Xie Zhongxing and Qin Zhongyue weren’t in the same majors and were hence quite far apart. First years were also required to live on campus. Qin Zhongyue who had never lived in a dormitory before couldn’t get used to this but, thanks to Xie Zhongxing’s presence, he had managed to get himself into the same dormitory room as Xie Zhongxing’s and felt that dormitory life was no longer as boring as before.But it was also very tiring.Xie Zhongxing was right. Not only was it not any easier after getting into university, you had to keep studying. There were many top students around him after all.Therefore, reserving a seat in the library had become a necessity.During these times, Qin Zhongyue felt that he really wasn’t a real man. Just because he was too tired, he couldn’t get up.Xie Zhongxing was quite understanding of this. He would wake up early, buy breakfast for Qin Zhongyue and put it in a metal tray and use hot water to keep the food hot. He would then go to the library to study and along the way reserve a seat for Qin Zhongyue, allowing him to sleep another two hours.After studying, Qin Zhongyue followed Xie Zhongxing out of the library with his head drooping, “I’m so tired. My vision is all blurry.”Xie Zhongxing turned to look at him. Seeing his sleepy appearance, he suddenly had an urge to reach out and rub his head. As soon as he thought this, he actually did it. Qin Zhongyue’s hair wasn’t very soft and actually a little rough, but the hair quality was good.

It felt nice.Qin Zhongyue looked at him with wide eyes. After some hesitation, he lowered his head slightly to make it easier for Xie Zhongxing. At this moment, he noticed that his trousers appeared a little short, revealing his pale ankles. He hesitated and asked, “…..Have you grown taller?”Xie Zhongxing, “Maybe.”Qin Zhongyue was excited, “You seem to have grown taller! Hurry, let’s go and get you measured.”Qin Zhongyue dragged Xie Zhongxing to the automatic height checker and swiped his meal card. After Xie Zhongxing got measured, the display screen showed 179.5.Qin Zhongyue cried out in delight, “You’ve grown almost five centimetres! No wonder I no longer need to look down at you at a 50 degree angle.”Xie Zhongxing was also happy inside. He looked at Qin Zhongyue, “You should do it too.”Qin Zhongyue proceeded to get measured. The screen showed 188.Xie Zhongxing’s tone was emotional, “We have both grown.”Qin Zhongyue announced proudly, “I can reach 190. Wanna bet?”Xie Zhongxing, “Being too tall is not good for the heart. 188 is already very tall and handsome.”Qin Zhongyue was insistent, “That won’t do. As a man, you can only be tall! Whoever bullies you in the future, I’ll beat them up for you.”He then asked, “Do you want to have dinner at my place?”Qin Zhongyue’s place wasn’t far from their university.Xie Zhongxing, “Is your father at home?”Qin Zhongyue, “You’re afraid of him?”Xie Zhongxing, “No, he’s very nice.”Qin Zhongyue grinned, “I told you so. He really likes you. He basically regards you as his own son.”Xie Zhongxing looked at him with a light smile on his face, “Didn’t you say that your father wanted to adopt me? Why haven’t I heard anything about that anymore?”Qin Zhongyue had almost completely forgotten about this lie of his. He mumbled for a while before saying, “He changed his mind, I guess. Who knows what is going on in that mind of his.”Xie Zhongxing stared at him, “You lied, didn’t you?”Qin Zhongyue was insistent, “Why would I lie about this to you?”

Xie Zhongxing thought about it and decided to change the subject, “What did you do yesterday?”Qin Zhongyue, “Oh, I went to borrow money from my dad.”Xie Zhongxing, “What money?”Qin Zhongyue lowered his voice and whispered, “I want to buy a piece of land.”Xie Zhongxing, “…...What land are you buying?”Qin Zhongyue, “Just the one in the neighbouring city. It only costs a hundred million right now but in ten years time, the value of it will increase a hundred fold!”Xie Zhongxing, “…….Do you know what you’re like right now?”Qin Zhongyue’s tone weakened, “What am I like?”Xie Zhongxing, “Like those involved in a pyramid scheme. They are always speaking of success.”Qin Zhongyue, “………..”He asked in a small voice, “Then do you want to become a shareholder? As long as you become a shareholder, I will give you 50% of the land! We can have half each!”Xie Zhongxing, “No need. Even if it’s me, you shouldn’t give away something so expensive like that.”He then asked, “Is your father okay with you buying this piece of land?”Qin Zhongyue answered honestly, “He was reluctant initially but after I insisted that it will be profitable, he finally relented. In fact, we don’t even need to wait until ten years later. Five years later, the land will be sold and the value of it will increase from three hundred million to two billion and ten years later, it will increase to ten billion.”Although it is currently just an abandoned factory site, the most prosperous business district would be located there ten years later. Because of the changes in government regulations, buying that piece of land now would guarantee a profit no matter what.During the past few months, apart from having an advantage over Xie Zhongxing physique-wise, he realised that he had another area where he had an advantage --- And that was knowing what was profitable.He may not be able to manage the Qin Enterprise because he didn’t understand it at all, but he did know a few other things.Qin Zhongyue remembered something, “How much money do you have right now?”Xie Zhongxing, “1.4 million. Why?”Qin Zhongyue chuckled, “Do you trust me?”Xie Zhongxing looked at him and answered gently, “Of course I do.”Qin Zhongyue, “Then I’ll help you make some money, okay?”Xie Zhongxing thought about it for a moment, “You have a plan?”Qin Zhongyue answered very seriously, “Believe it or not, I am a prophet!”

Xie Zhongxing, “……..”Xie Zhongxing, “Don’t joke around and just tell me.”Qin Zhongyue took out his phone and pulled up a page. He pointed at a stock on the screen, “If you buy this company’s stocks, it will at least quadruple by September next year.”Xie Zhongxing, “Are you certain?”Qin Zhongyue, “Of course I am! I have already invested five hundred thousand on it!”Xie Zhongxing, “………..”Seemingly aware of Xie Zhongxing’s hesitation, Qin Zhongyue looked at him, “What’s wrong? You don’t trust me?”Xei Zhongxing hinted subtly, “I feel that you may have invested too much.”Qin Zhongyue scratched his head and then said brightly, “The more I invest, the more I make!”He then thought about it and added cautiously, “If your investment fails, consider that as my loss. Sounds good?”“…….” There really is no need to say that so cautiously.It was unknown what Qin Zhongyue was told but Qin Zhongyue had recently been very cautious with his actions. Although it was a good thing that he was paying more attention to his words and actions, Xie Zhongxing felt a little uncomfortable. He liked the Qin Zhongyue who would say anything that came to his mind without a filter more. To Qin Zhongyue, he said, “If you say it’ll work, then it’ll work. I trust you.”After discussing the matter with the stocks, Qin Zhongyue’s mood was clearly a lot better. He was eager to make more money for Xie Zhongxing.Qin Zhongyue thought for a while and said, “I also established a live broadcast platform. Do you want to invest in that too?”Xie Zhongxing, “…...You have been busy with these things the last few months?”Qin Zhongyue, “Yeah, just a little on the side.”When he said this, his expression was still bright. He even appeared to look a little proud?Xie Zhongxing felt that the current Qin Zhongyue was very dazzling. His entire body seemed to be glowing. He couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly and said softly, “You are still little. Don’t work too hard.”Qin Zhongyue subconsciously retorted, “I’m little? I’m clearly very big!”Xie Zhongxing, “?”Qin Zhongyue looked at Xie Zhongxing with a stern gaze, “You can’t use the word little or small around men!”Xie Zhongxing, “…….”He couldn’t help but laugh. Qin Zhongyue’s head really does seem to only contain matters related to his little friend down there.It was pretty cute.
