Chapter 561: A Little Test

The breakfast shop owner reminded, "Don't keep looking, the car's rear is long gone."

Cao Zhiqiang gave a dry laugh twice, saying with lingering enthusiasm, "This classmate of mine is really something."

Lu Ling smiled and said, "What's there to show off about just being a high school classmate?"

"Even their childhood friend hasn't said anything."

"What makes you think it's your turn?"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded and echoed, "Exactly, exactly, I'm just an ordinary old classmate, while Shen Nan is a childhood friend—our relationship is definitely much closer than mine."

What he said sounded pleasant enough.

But this couple actually didn't let out a proper fart; Cao Zhiqiang's pride in having an impressive classmate is understandable, and he feels no discomfort at all.

But Liu Wanwan and Shen Nan belittled Wu An to show off, only to be slapped in the face by Wu An.

The more impressive Wu An's performance.

the more their faces hurt.

Can they feel comfortable in their hearts?

Having an impressive childhood friend is not pride, but shame!

Liu Wanwan let out a sharp "Ah!" scream, startling several people, then she shouted, "Shen Nan, why did you greet that person just now?"

"And you're still talking nonsense."

"I feel embarrassed for you!"

Shen Nan's face turned dark; he had taken the initiative to greet and show friendliness because he realized Liang Rong was no ordinary person, and it was very likely that the Rolls-Royce belonged to them.

This is definitely not an ordinary person!

If he could seize the opportunity to make connections, having such a network might come in handy later.

Who knows.

He thought well of it, but they didn't pick up the cue and instead stepped hard on him, making him already unhappy, and then hearing Liu Wanwan rub salt in his wound.

He also exploded, cursing, "You don't know shit!"

"Long hair, short sight."

"That Young Master Liang surely has a significant background; if we seize the chance to connect, we'll definitely benefit later."

Liu Wanwan sneered, "But actually they don't even give you the time of day."

Shen Nan: "Ganlinmu, shut up!"

Liu Wanwan coldly snorted, "I can see it now—you're nowhere near as impressive as Wu An."

Shen Nan slammed the table; this remark clearly hit a sore spot, and he shouted angrily, "Do you believe I'll whip you?"

Liu Wanwan leaned in and said, "Go ahead, whip me!"

Shen Nan trembled.

Cao Zhiqiang and Lu Ling stood up and stepped back two paces, fearing they'd be caught in the crossfire.

Watching the arguing couple, then recalling how Wu An had been chatting and laughing with ease earlier, sometimes the gap between people is truly huge.

Lu Ling whispered, "Did you notice earlier? Those two Beautiful Joy Pearls sold for over five million, and Wu An's expression didn't change at all."

"You definitely noticed."

"Not even batting an eye at several million—just how rich must he be?"

"Who knows." Cao Zhiqiang hesitated a moment, then said firmly, "He's definitely richer than Shen Nan!"

Lu Ling giggled, "You really speak the truth."

Cao Zhiqiang laughed along.

"Are we still going to the county to play later?"

"Going to the county? Pfft, there's nothing fun there."

"That's true."

"Let's just leave first."

"Let's go, go, go."

Cao Zhiqiang and Lu Ling exchanged greetings, left the restaurant, and actually felt that the trip hadn't been in vain.

Looking back at Shen Nan and Liu Wanwan, it was far more interesting than going to the park.

Although the breakfast wasn't enjoyable, watching the drama was quite satisfying.

……

In the car.

Wu An expressed thanks.

Liang Rong said bluntly, "A An, I treat you as a friend; helping a friend is natural, so as a friend you shouldn't thank me."

"I'll send you home first."

"Then I have to rush to the airport."

Wu An said, "So urgent?"

"It's almost noon; stay for a simple meal—nothing fancy, but definitely local specialties."

Liang Rong patted his shoulder, showing a bit of friendliness, and said, "Next time, next time."

"My family runs a ski resort in Xinjiang; the ski season is coming up soon, they arranged for me to go check it out, but before boarding the plane I changed the destination to here."

"Any further delay and I'll likely get scolded by my family."

"I'd better hurry and fly there."

Wu An said, "Alright, since you have business, I won't keep you."

They arrived at the village.

Liang Rong looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "Your Village town is very distinctive; the scenery is quite different."

Wu An was a bit surprised, then smiled and said, "Not to hide it from you, the reason I'm now rooted at home is that I want to do something in my hometown."

Liang Rong's expression straightened: "Go ahead, tell me."

Wu An pointed outside and said, "You can see it yourself; the scenery here is a major feature, and the culture is also quite interesting."

"Most importantly, there are people, like me, willing to stay in the hometown to seek development."

"We here rely on the sea for food, so we can develop aquaculture, seafood processing, start enterprises, and develop cultural tourism."

Liang Rong listened, pondered for a moment, and said, "What you mentioned is feasible."

"But I must warn you, the investment will be huge."

"Moreover, doing business in the Village isn't that simple."

Wu An smiled, "To be frank, my father is the Village chief, and I am also a second‑generation villager."

"As for the capital,"

"The bigger the resources, the bigger the deeds one can accomplish."

Liang Rong shook his head, "I advise you to think thrice before acting."

Wu An smiled and nodded.

Liang Rong also did not continue the topic, arrived at the home Gate, parked, and seemed to remember something, saying, "By the way, the guy named Shen Nan at the breakfast shop today isn't simple; you should pay more attention."

Wu An said, "Okay, I understand."

After Rolls drove away, Lao Meng, smoking, called out, "Back so quickly?"

Wu An sat down, took a sip of tea, "It's only a multi‑million business; how long can we afford to delay?"

Lao Meng smiled and tapped him, "What's the background?"

Wu An said, "A young master from the Jiang‑Zhe region."

Lao Meng let out a "Whoa" and said, "I haven't seen how you run out, but the people you know are quite a mixed bunch."

Wu An smiled.

He told Liang Rong all that, but actually he was planning to recruit Liang Rong into the venture.

If Liang Rong were willing to join, with such strong capital injection, he could implement the plan more quickly and calmly.

Of course.

What if you invite wolves into the house?

If you're scared of this and that, nothing will be done well.

He's just a deadbeat; what's there to be cowardly about?

But in the end Liang Rong didn't respond.

He didn't say much more either.

After some idle chat with Lao Meng, Wu An took out his phone, transferred the money he had just received to A Qing and the other two in turn, explaining that it was the profit from selling Meilezhu.

The three replied that they had received it.

They didn't make a big fuss and call back again.

People are like that.

That's how it is.

Adaptability is extremely strong.

At first, earning a few thousand yuan made them overjoyed; now over a million has been transferred, and they haven't even called back.

Wu An muttered two complaints in his mind.

After lunch, feeling stuffed, he went out for a walk, reached the Lao Wu, and compared to a few days ago, there was basically no change. He watched the Workers for a while, found it really boring, and slipped back home to sleep.

A day's time.

And it passed by leisurely like that.
