A person lonely in the woods surviving, what is there to say about him?

The branch manager poured the Longjing tea that was already prepared in a teapot and placed it on the table in his cup; he then drank some tea before he started talking, "How's your restaurant business going? The Mando Hotel Korean restaurant is one of our clients. I should have arranged the meeting like this sooner, and I am sorry about that."
"Our restaurant hasn't made substantial sales yet so we haven't put much money in my bank account as of the moment. Despite that, I do appreciate your concern and meeting with me."
The branch manager asked one of his staff sitting next to him to place an order for food. The female staff carefully selected and ordered dishes with great ingredients.
The dishes that the female staff ordered started coming out one by one. They looked expensive and fancy. Gun-Ho didn't even know the name of those dishes. The branch manager continued his small talk while smiling without getting into the real business,
"How do you like here?"
"How do you like Chinese food?"
"Where do you stay?"
"How's the view of West Lake?"
The branch manager continuously talked about trivial things.
'I believe this person came to meet with me to talk about something else…'
The branch manager poured beer in Gun-Ho's glass, and Gun-Ho drank it.
"Chinese beer is Ting Hao*."
 
When people in the room started feeling drunk, the branch manager got into his main business.
"As far as I know, you had deposited a significant amount of money in our bank. Are you going to let it sit like that? We do have good programs that you can use with a great interest rate so you can make your money grow effectively."
Gun-Ho, in fact, transferred his 480 million won to his bank account in China and indicated that the purpose of the transfer was to acquire Mando Food Co., Ltd. He used 50 million won out of his 480 million won when he acquired the Korean restaurant and left the remaining amount in his bank account after exchanging it into Yuan. The funds in his account were about 3,500,000 Yuan.
'I see. So he wants to use my money that was saved in their bank.'
The branch manager continued what he was saying while having his Longjing tea,
"Our bank—Industrial and Commercial Bank of China—has recently released a new bond. The interest rate is high and the maturity date varies: we have 90 days, 120 days, or more."
"I see."
The staff next to the branch manager pulled out a brochure from her bag and gave it to Gun-Ho.
"I do actually have funds in my bank account with Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. However, that is not mine. I am keeping the funds in my bank account as a favor from someone."
"Oh. Are you planning to invest the funds somewhere else? If you are not going to invest your funds yet, we have a short-term program as well."
"No. The person who entrusted the funds to me wanted to invest in real estate. I can't possibly have that kind of money at my age."
When Mae-Hyang heard about the money in Gun-Ho's bank account, she became curious, but when he said that it was not his, she seemed to say in her mind, 'That's more like it.'
 
The branch manager smiled.
"It's an apartment, isn't it? That person who entrusted you with the funds wants to buy an apartment but instead of going through all the hassle of investing as a foreigner, he asked you to buy one for him with your name—G-jjong—because you already have an Alien Resident Certificate. Considering the economic growth rate of this country, the apartment price will go up significantly. Whoever that person is, he does have great insight in business. I believe China has less restriction than Korea in the real estate investment."
'Hmm… as expected.'
Gun-Ho was impressed. He thought that the branch manager was a stunning expert in business like Chairman Lee.
"So, I am sorry that I won't be able to invest in the bond. You have invited me for this great dinner, but there is nothing much I can do for you at this time. I will pay for the dinner."
"It was my pleasure. As you said I am the one who invited you for dinner, I will pay for the dinner of course. Let's drink. Let's get to know each other and be friends even though I am older than you. Haha."
The branch manager gulped his beer and showed Gun-Ho his empty glass. Gun-Ho also finished his beer and showed his empty glass to the branch manager.
 
"So, did you find a good property?"
"Not yet. I'm thinking about the apartment in Hubinlu."
"I recommend the one in Sisilu instead of Hubinlu. The apartments in Hubinlu are fancy but they are old now. You should think about the time when you sell them."
"How much is the one in Sisilu?"
"Well, the company that is selling the apartments and condos in Sisilu is one of our clients. They are selling right now and you'd better select and take a condo that's in a good location before someone else take it. The condo is about 2,500,000 Yuan. Take two of them, then you will laugh someday."
"For two condos, I have to come up with 5,000,000 Yuan. Even the person who entrusted the funds to me wouldn't have that much money."
"Don't hesitate. The area around West Lake is already saturated with condos. There would be no more land available for additional condos. Grab the opportunity while you can."
"Is there a loan system for purchasing a condo in China?"
Mae-Hyang couldn't understand one of the words that Gun-Ho said, so she asked Gun-Ho before she tried to interpret what he said, 
"What is a loan?"
"I am asking if I can borrow money from the bank when I buy a condo."
"Oh, Ttaigwan! That's the loan."
Mae-Hyang resumed her interpretation.
"Of course, you can take a loan."
"And a transfer of ownership is allowed, right?"
"China is a socialist country. You don't get the ownership but you get the right to use. You will have the right to use for 99 years."
Gun-Ho was stunned.
"What happens after that?"
"The right to use is transferrable so practically you can say you own it."
"Oh, I see."
Gun-Ho nodded his head.
"G-jjong, if you are interested, do as I recommend. Buy two condos. Our bank can lend you money if you are short in funds. The interest rate for the loan is not that high. In China, the condos must be completely built before you can purchase it so you can rent it out right away. The rent for condos in that location is 5,000 Yuan."
"Hmmm…"
"If you want to visit the site, I will contact the president of the Hwaganghwawon so they can facilitate your visit. If you tell them my name, they will assign a good location unit for you."
"Thank you for the information."
"We still have beers left. Let's drink up."
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
All five people in the room stood up and shouted "Cheers!" as they clinked glasses.
 
Gun-Ho went to the Hwaganghwawon condo community located in Sisilu, accompanied by Mae-Hyang. In China, they didn't name the condos with weird words like Korea. They didn't name the condo community as Raemian, E-ComfortableWorld, or HillState. Instead, they name it as Hobanhwawon, Hwaganghwawon, Pyunghaesinchon, etc.
"Whoa, the main entrance to the community is majestic. Why haven't I seen this before?"
A young security guard was monitoring people who were trying to enter the community. He looked like a military gate guard in Korea.  
"Where are you going?"
The security guard asked in an intimidating manner.
"We are here to see a condo."
Mae-Hyang answered bluntly. She seemed to be offended by the guard.
The security guard scanned Gun-Ho. He didn't seem to believe what Mae-Hyang said because Gun-Ho looked too young to buy an expensive condo.
"The manager from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China recommended us that we should take a look at some of the condos here. This man is from Korea."
Gun-Ho smiled as he showed his Korean passport to the guard. The security guard gestured for Mae-Hyang to proceed without looking at the passport that Gun-Ho showed.
"I am treated well because I am a foreigner."
Gun-Ho met with the president of the Hwaganghwawon condo community. He looked like the leader of a gang.
"Oh, I received a call from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. I was told that someone from Korea will stop by."
There was a plastic architectural model of the community in the president's office. The president recommended the unit located close to the main gate. There was a stone lion sculpture in front of it. Gun-Ho liked it too. Gun-Ho made a contract to buy two condos that were priced for 2,600,000 Yuan each. So the total price was 5,200,000 Yuan (624 million won). He would take a loan for the amount short from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The condo was 198㎡ each.
"Hmm… The sales and purchase agreement is called Hapdongseo in China."
A Chinese staff of Hwaganghwawon who brought necessary papers for the contract seemed surprised. The staff said to Gun-Ho who just bought two very expensive condos seemingly without any difficulty, "Korean people are rich maybe because Korea is a highly developed country."
 
 
Note*
Ting Hao – Very good in Chinese

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.

County Head Qi continued, "Therefore, the current negotiations basically consist of half the United Nations. And everyone's wish is very simple. They are willing to compensate for your loss of reputation and are willing to globally apologize to you. However, they also have a request."
Fangzheng immediately understood when he heard that there was an additional request. He did not say a word and continued waiting.
County Head Qi said, "They want China to make public your medical knowledge."
Fangzheng smiled and drank a mouthful of Frost Bamboo tea. "And then?"
County Head Qi kept staring at Fangzheng. Seeing that Fangzheng didn't react, he didn't know what Fangzheng was thinking. Instead, he probed Fangzheng. "Master, aren't you angry at their impolite request?"
Fangzheng put down his teacup and said, "Angry? They made a request. They aren't stealing from me. Why should I be angry?"
County Head Qi was taken aback before he understood what Fangzheng meant. He said, "Master, you are so magnanimous."
Fangzheng shook his head. "It's not a big deal. It's just that medicine is ultimately meant to save lives. After the previous incident, This Penniless Monk realized that not only can it save people, it can also harm others. This Penniless Monk doesn't wish to cause too much conflict because of it. However, This Penniless Monk has his own principles to adhere to. As long as it doesn't break This Penniless Monk's bottom line, This Penniless Monk doesn't care who acquires it."
County Head Qi said, "Master, I'm relieved to hear that. However, the higher-ups directly rejected their requests."
Fangzheng nodded. To him, making it public did not affect his life.
But to the country, there were immense interests at play! At the very least, China had to recoup everything that they had suffered previously.
County Head Qi continued, "After an intense negotiation, the other party compromised. They do not ask for the medical skills to be made public, but requested that China be able to teach the acquired knowledge in universities like how they do overseas. Furthermore, the medicine produced must be available across the globe. It can't be monopolized."
County Head Qi said, "The higher-ups wish to get your opinion on this."
Fangzheng said, "The Chinese civilization has five thousand years of history. Our mainstream culture is never to be intrusive or bully the weak. In history, most of the wars were a result of other cultures invading us. Finally, they became part of mainstream culture. Just like how all roads lead to Rome, this also created present-day China. Of course, there were also powerful people like Genghis Khan, but his culture and ideas were not mainstream Chinese culture.
"From ancient times till now, China had always played the role of a monarch. It was strong but it didn't bully the weak. Any feuds were quickly ended and we spread our culture across the world, to teach the world and bestow favors on others.
"This Penniless Monk is a monk. He wants to redeem more people and save more people. Therefore, This Penniless Monk doesn't mind foreigners learning it. This Penniless Monk is only worried that people who have nefarious thoughts would use it to harm others. The reason why This Penniless Monk only opened it to the Chinese is only to bring about some well-being to his fellow men. When China fully acquires these medical skills, the medical skills on the stone monument can be seen and learned by all the kindhearted medical professionals in the world."
Upon hearing that, County Head Qi was alarmed. "Master, this… This medicine of yours is a national treasure! If this gets out…"
Fangzheng shook his head. "What can save people are treasures. Those that can't, to the point of causing conflict, are treasures of the Devil. Besides, China has already reached the forefront. If we can't maintain our lead, we can only blame ourselves. Patron Qi, these are This Penniless Monk's thoughts."
"This…" County Head Qi laughed bitterly. "I can only be a messenger. I'm considered an official in the county, but in the eyes of the higher-ups, I'm nothing. I have no say at all. I can only pass it up one level at a time…"
"I understand."
County Head Qi shook his head. He knew that although the monk in front of him was young, in terms of qualifications, he was probably more qualified than a county head like him! In the entire China, there wasn't a second person like him who had the qualifications to speak to the higher-ups with just his person's name!
County Head Qi said, "I'll first pass the message. As for the rest, I'm afraid you will have to discuss it with the higher-ups directly."
Fangzheng hurriedly thanked him. The two of them were busy people, so County Head Qi didn't delay any further. He immediately bade farewell and left.
County Head Qi took a few steps when Fangzheng suddenly called out to County Head Qi.
County Head Qi asked, "Master, is there anything else?"
Fangzheng said, "Well, tell them to ask for more compensation."
When County Head Qi heard that, the lofty edifice that Fangzheng had built in his heart instantly collapsed. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Don't worry. We will make sure they bleed. Furthermore, I guess that the higher-ups will agree to your request. I heard that the higher-ups have no intention of holding back the knowledge. After all, some things need to be released to maximize the benefits."
With that said, County Head Qi left.
Squirrel had been eavesdropping. After County Head Qi left, he jumped down and asked Fangzheng in puzzlement, "Master, are you really going to share your medical skills to the public? If that's the case, wouldn't our medical skills be worthless? If other countries exceed our country, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?"
Fangzheng ruffled his tiny head and smiled. "How fast can you run?"
"Quite fast…" Squirrel said.
Fangzheng pointed to the back door of the monastery and said, "Run there at your fastest speed possible."
Squirrel didn't understand what Fangzheng meant, but he still ran over very quickly. Fangzheng did a calculation. Squirrel only used twenty seconds to cover five hundred meters! This speed was definitely terrifying!
Squirrel said smugly, "Master, my speed is much faster than before!"
Fangzheng smiled. "You can still be faster."
Squirrel was taken aback. "Faster? Impossible. That's my fastest speed already."
"I'll help you run faster. How about that?"
Squirrel nodded excitedly. "Alright, alright!"
Fangzheng shouted, "Jingfa, come here!"
Lone Wolf immediately ran over and asked in a daze, "Master, what's up?"
Fangzheng said, "Jingkuan, have a ten-meter head start. Jingfa will then chase after you. If Jingfa catches up to you, you can forget about dinner tonight."
Squirrel immediately objected to it. "Master, with Eldest Senior Brother's huge body, his single step is equal to several of my steps! You can't be a bully!"
Fangzheng said, "Objection overruled. You can choose to give up. Of course, if you give up, tomorrow's dinner is also gone."
Squirrel ran when he heard that.
Fangzheng said, "Jingfa, chase after him. If you catch up to him, you'll have more for dinner. If you can't catch up to him, you will have three dinners deducted."
Lone Wolf originally had a nonchalant attitude. He even wanted to go easy on Squirrel and help him. When he heard that he could have an additional helping for dinner, his eyes lit up. He shouted, "There's no need to threaten me. Just give me a second helping. Awoo! Squirrel, here I come!"


In the rural northeastern mountainous regions stands a tiny Buddhist temple, named One Finger Temple. It isn't a large one but it is extremely miraculous.

The temple has rice that emanates an aromatic fragrance.

The temple has sweet and refreshing water that rivals ambrosia.

The temple has Buddhas that grant wishes to the sincere.

The temple isn't large but it has everything. The temple isn't large but it has flourishing incense offerings that far exceed all temples. The temple isn't large but it attracts both citizens and foreigners that line up overnight…

The temple has a bald but handsome monk. Every day, he would bawl, "I want to renounce asceticism! I want to marry a chick that's not too pretty, have a cute baby, and lead a stable life!"

This book is a casual novel that introduces various Chinese traditional customs, as well as Buddhist ones. It strives to be a positive book, allowing people to reflect on how they should live their lives and treat others.

…He looked like sin!

"Well I'd be leaving, I'm sure we will do this some other time"
"Absolutely not, but thank you for joining me for dinner." she said as she walked to the door trying to get him to leave. 
"Oh, we will see about that." he replied as he finally followed her closely.
"I'd see you off but, and I can't stress this enough, I do not want to. I'm sure you know the way to your car." she said looking up at his face, maybe for one last time. Yep, it was still perfect.
"I sure do, sleep well tonight Tale." he said as he flashed white perfect teeth at her again.
 "Damn! He is doing this on purpose, he has to be" she thought. 
"Yes good night" she replied looking away. She was dark skin but she was sure at this point some redness would be making their way to her cheeks right about now.
 
He made his way to his car, hopefully out of her life... She wasn't sure she could handle anything more than the stressful life she was leading. She didn't even have the time for all the nervous breakdown she felt.
She cleaned out the table and her kitchen before she went to have another shower as she felt her soul needed it. 


New Government Residential Area Phase 2...

Su Yan pulled into the estate as the security guarding the main gate greeted him.
The estate housed 90% foreigners that came into the state for different reasons and for that it was built by the best. It was so beautiful, perfect lawns, perfect little streets connecting all houses, the street lights could blind someone but it was a good place to stay and it was safe.

The security had never seen him come back this late so their surprise was well registered. As far as they knew, Sir Su Yan was not human, the man never smiled, he never talked. To them he was unapproachable.

He pulled in front of his building just as a man walked out of the front door with a worried look on his face. 
He spoke Chinese.
"Where have you been?" He questioned.
"Out to dinner." Su Yan replied coming out of his car.
"You went to get grocery." Woo Jin replied even more upset.
Su Yan finally recalled, he completely forgot about that, damn! He walked back to the car and looked at his best friend in the whole world. 
"Are you going to help or not?" he said raising perfectly winged brows at him.
"You have some explaining to do!"
"I had dinner with a friend." he replied again like it was nothing as he carried some bags inside the house with Woo Bin tailing him with his jaw on the ground. 
"I'm sorry, what? Are there aliens walking around the state now?" he was still in a surprise state.
Woo Jin knew his friend; he never gives anyone a chance to get close to him, let alone having a friend. 

Su Yan had been a weak child growing up and got bullied in school, Woo Jin had been the opposite and had always been the one to save Su Yan and protect him from anyone trying to hurt him, their friendship just sort of happened but it was built on trust. 25 years later, he's here in a country far away from theirs still protecting him.

Woo Jin was the only son and child of the Woo family, they owned the biggest and best security agency in all of China. No one dared cross his family's path as they had a very strong influence. They were trusted to protect ministers, socialites and people in the high ups but they were not slow to protect their own from the world.
Woo Jin stood at 5'8, he had shaved his hair before leaving China because he was crazy as Su Yan liked to remind him. He didn't look as scary as Su Yan did but his icy blue eyes always made people flinch. He worked out a lot and liked to show it off.

"Maybe." Su Yan replied as he took to stocking the fridge. He had refused any servant when he was coming here.
No matter how many times his twin sister and his mom insisted, it was pointless as he was never easily convinced. Woo Jin was finding it hard to comprehend.
"It's a new friend I met tonight, she offered to treat me to dinner and I couldn't refuse since you suck at cooking." 

Su Yan replied leaving Woo Jin worse off. He wasn't going to tell him he instigated the dinner because he was sure Woo Jin will place a call to China the minute he hears that. "You met a woman, a human woman and in one night you went out to dinner with her?"
Su Yan nodded; the truth would probably give him a heart attack so he best leave it at this. 
"Are you sick?" Woo Jin finally asked.
 "Tell me, who is she? Is she from China, what family does she belong to? When do i meet this mysterious woman" he continued. 
He kept prying. 

"You talk a lot, I'm going to bed" Su Yan said as he started walking up the stairs. 
"Are you really not going to tell me anything, I need to know?" Woo Jin kept yelling but the sound of his friends door shutting made him silent. 
He was going to have a heart attack at 30and not from a woman! He finally gave up as he walked to his room.


The next morning... 6.00am.

Tale woke up smiling and this wasn't her, she usually woke up sad and pissed at the world. But no time to ponder as she rolled off from the bed and found herself on the floor. She winced in pain, she had no idea she was on the edge of the bed. She finally stood up after what felt like forever, she had chores to do. 
She took a cold shower and changed into a perfect long sleeved loungewear; it hugged her soft curves well and was soft against her skin. She didn't need her glasses today as she wrapped her full brown curls into a rough bun.

"OK, let's do this" she said to herself in the mirror of her bathroom as she set about her day. 
She had just finished her laundry and was to start off dusting and cleaning the entire apartment, everything was out of place as she usually did before she could arrange it in a way that suite her. 
She was sweeping off the dust under the couch when he crossed her mind... Those eyes, that perfect lips, those hands, it would be nice to...

*knock knock*

The sound on her door brought her back.
"Who is it?" she called, She had sent a 'we need to talk' text to her best friend Precious, but she knew she wasn't going to bug her about what needed to be discussed as Precious knew her schedule even better than her.

The knock came again and this time around a bit louder. She looked at the clock hanging on her wall and realized it was only 8.35am, who didn't have chores to do this morning that could... 

*knock knock*

"I'm coming." It better not be my neighbor she murmured as she walked to the door. She opened the door and there he was, the devil himself. 
She wasn't expecting him or anyone at all so she shut the door as quickly as she opened it to be sure she wasn't seeing things then she opened it again and he was still there but this time with confusion dancing on his face. 

Well, well, well, temptation came knocking" she said in her mind as she stood at the door waiting on him to explain himself. 

"I brought breakfast" Su Yan said revealing what he was holding in his hand as he very gently pushed her aside and walked in. 

Oh he's got nerves, she'll give him that.

Love, Tale.

——————————————————————————

"I've had quite a bit of Nigerian food and i can say yours might be good" he replied ending the topic as he finally dug in.

Tale had been avoiding his face since the moment they met but now she could see clearly under her mini chandelier.
His face was well sculpted and all clear with a jawline to die for and It embodied the very essence of masculine beauty, he had a perfect forehead and his eyebrows were perfectly winged that they made her fingertips throb and made her a little jealous. The only place that held a little softness were his eyes, there were as dark as night but beautiful. His hair was midnight black and fell to one side of his face covering a scar she couldn't see yet.
Such a face did not belong to a man who was sweet but of one who commanded, demanded and took action. His lips were so fine and firm, it sent a seductive shiver down her spine. Men like this-- who looked like he did led women to sin... And into loosing their peace of mind. 

"You know it's rude to stare?" he said when he felt he had allowed her have her fill.

DISCLAIMER

All characters asides from the lead female character Tale which part of her is about my life (I'm an accountant, i never liked my job and I really want to travel the world, someday soon) is fictional. I believe one of the joys of writing is being able to become someone else. 
All characters are fictitious and any resemblance to a real life person is completely a coincidence.


UPDATE

I'm still trying to figure it out.. lol
stick with me to find out.

After the introduction, Wesley’s parents thanked Sophie and Li Du warmly in English. "Thank you very much, Doctor Sophie. Thank you very much, Doctor Li. Doctor Li, are you from China too?"

Li Du smiled kindly and explained to Wesley’s parents in Mandarin: "I’m not a doctor—it was a coincidence I was there—and I only did what I could, there’s no need for thanks."

As they were conversing in their mother tongue, Sophie politely excused herself and left the ward with Ah Meow.

As Li Du spoke to them in Mandarin, their query was indirectly answered by Li Du that he came from China as well. They immediately felt connected and treated Li Du warmly.

Wesley’s Chinese name was Liu Jin Long. His father was Liu Jian Guo. His mother was Zheng Feng Rong. Both worked in China as customs officers. It had taken quite a while for them to come to America as they needed the necessary permit and relevant documents to be approved, and their work arrangements needed to be sorted out as well.

They were worried sick when they heard Wesley was shot. They had just arrived at Wesley’s ward when Doctor Thompson walked in to talk with them. That was why they had the wrong impression that Doctor Thompson was the attending medical doctor instead of Sophie.

Mrs. Liu teared up while holding her son’s hand. "If not for you, Li Xiao Ge, my son, Jin Long, might not have made it."

Li Du disagreed and waved his hand. "No no, please don’t say that Aunty, we should help each other out. And please call me Xiao Li—Ah Du will also do."


Mr. Liu smiled. "We’ll call you Ah Du then. So Ah Du, are you an American citizen now?"

Li Du shook his head. "Nope, I am here for my studies. I have a student permit so I can stay here for three years."

Mr. Liu nodded his head. "Oh, that’s the same as Jin Long—he’s also here for studies." He sighed. "It is a good thing to study overseas, however, I feel that China is doing very well also. If you can get back early, you should do so."

Mrs. Liu agreed with her husband. "Yes, yes, yes, go back earlier if you can. Jin Long, listen to your dad, come home with us, we have plenty of good universities back at home, too. Why must you insist on staying here?"

Wesley (Jin Long) replied in a slightly impatient tone, "Well I’m already here; if I don’t get my graduate degree, I’m not going back. It is too shameful to go back like this."

Mrs. Liu retorted, "Losing a life is worse, there are now stricter policies imposed on us civil servants leaving the country. This incident has shown that we were unable to rush to you right away. I can’t imagine if next time—"

"Mom, this was just an accident. I was just unlucky to be there. See, I am alright now. My classmate never meant to hurt anyone. I assure you there will be no ‘next time.’"

Mr. Liu got angry upon hearing his son’s words. "Alright? It is not alright! If it weren’t for Ah Du, you would have lost your life, rascal!"

Wesley straightened up and tried to talk his way out: "Well, exactly! Because of Ah Du, that’s why we are all good. It shows that I am not destined to die yet!"

"Nonsense! Is this the way a graduate student talks to his father? I think you really are obsessed with guns!"

Wesley weakly admitted, "Yes, you are right about that. I am obsessed with guns—"

"Fine!" Mr. Liu flared up and interrupted his son. "I’ll send you to the military or the armed police forces so you can play with guns whenever you like!"

"I’m not going to the military or the armed police forces. There’s no freedom at all..."

Mrs. Liu got worried as the father and son’s quarrel started to heat up. "Okay okay, please don’t fight. Why do both of you always fight when you see each other?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Li Du with an apologetic smile. "Li Xiao Ge, I’m sorry we might have made you uncomfortable. When both father and son get together in one place, they always fight within three minutes."

Li Du smiled. "My dad and I always quarrel as well, but I can’t fight with him now, even if I wanted to."

Wesley rapidly apologized, "Ah Du, I’m sorry that you have been reminded of the unhappy past."

"Huh?" Li Du replied, puzzled.

"Your father, didn’t he pass away? You said you couldn’t fight with him even if you wanted to," Mr. Liu explained in a much softer tone. Both Wesley and Mr. Liu had the same thought.

Li Du laughed. "No no, my dad is fine. My point is, my parents are in China, and they find long distance calls costly, so we seldom get in touch, let alone quarrel over the phone."

Mr. Liu and Wesley looked at each other, embarrassed by their misinterpretation.

Because of this little incident, they stopped fighting.

Mr. Liu then asked if Li Du was a medical student. Li Du told him about his plight, and that he was a treasure hunter now.

Wesley suddenly thought of something. "Ah! I saw on the news not too long ago that there was a Chinese man who organized a charity auction event in Flagstaff, is that you?"

Li Du smiled, "Yes, but I didn’t organize it. I was just one of those who participated in the auction."

"That is a feat too. I have a classmate who really likes your line of work. He really looks up to you, and he said that you are a rising star," Wesley said with a little bit of envy.

Li Du felt embarrassed. He did not expect the charity event to earn him a fan.

…

Sophie came back to the ward holding some papers. These papers were the documents for Wesley’s discharge. Wesley took a look at the papers and thanked Sophie for her help.

She smiled, "Don’t worry about it, you shouldn’t be walking around too much. Furthermore, your parents have just arrived here, they would not be familiar with the procedures."

When Mr. and Mrs. Liu heard from Wesley about the documents, they thanked Doctor Sophie profusely in English again.

Mrs. Liu couldn’t help openly expressing her opinion on Sophie: "This doctor is such a nice girl. I’ve heard that American girls are willful, wayward, and shrewish. That is not true after all."

Wesley said, "Mom, that is exactly why you should not use Weibo too much. And don’t follow those supposedly ‘Public Intellectuals’ and the ‘Astrosurfers.’ It’s all a bad influence."

"Is that the way that you should talk to your mom? But you are right about Weibo: full of negative stuff," Mr. Liu added.

With Sophie and Li Du’s assistance, the required papers were completed for the discharge. Wesley’s hospitalization bill was smaller than expected, as he was covered under the overseas student insurance.

Wesley and Li Du exchanged contact numbers, and Li Du helped to call a cab for the family. While waiting, Li Du turned to Sophie and asked, "So, any plans for dinner?"

Sophie shrugged. "Well, if you allow me to treat you to a meal, then—"

However, Mr. and Mrs. Liu had caught onto the English word "dinner."

Mr. Liu talked to Li Du, "Is it ok if we treat you and Doctor Sophie for dinner tonight?"

Mrs. Liu reprimanded Mr. Liu, "No question mark; we should treat Doctor Sophie and Ah Du dinner."

Wesley concurred and joined in to persuade. "Just come, brother."

Wesley turned to Sophie and said in English, "Doctor Sophie, my parents brought a lot of good food, authentic Chinese flavored cuisine, the flavor of my homeland. You should try some."

Li Du had wanted to refuse the offer, but after hearing what Wesley said, he started to change his mind. Ever since he came to the States, he had not eaten Chinese food from his motherland. He missed the taste of home.

He told Sophie what was on his mind and Sophie accepted the dinner invite with good grace.

As Mr. and Mrs. Liu would be staying here for a period of time, they had brought along many condiments, preserved Chinese finger food, and many other delicacies for cooking. Wesley and another classmate of his had jointly rented an apartment. That had made things easier, as there was no need for them to look for another accommodation.

When Li Du entered Wesley’s apartment, Li Du immediately caught sight of the Chinese smoke-marinated dried sausages hanging on a wall.

Mrs. Liu opened a nicely wrapped container that held the famous Peking duck. The gleaming roasted outer skin of the duck was so appetizing that Li Du felt hungry the moment he saw it.



They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

Monday has always been a busy day, Liu Wei arrived at the company at half past eight. He didn't like being late to duties, even though he knew no-one could question him. As soon as he sat down, Wang Feng came in with a large file and placed it before him, and before he could ask what it was Wang Feng immediately explained ;
"List of girls with the name Liling in the whole of Beijing and their pictures". It took him the whole weekend to compile the list, though it was a little above fifty, he couldn't still put all together. He just prayed that the girl Liu Wei was looking for was among the ones compiled.
Liu Wei went through the pictures, one after the other, when he reached the end, he began from the beginning again, but he didn't find what he was looking for.
"Is this all?" He shifted his gaze from the file to Wang Feng as he creased his brows.
"No, no, I haven't compiled all" Wang Feng replied as he felt his boss shooting frozen daggers at him. 
"Mmm?, you better hurry because if I don't find what I'm looking for, you would do the whole of China" Liu Wei replied as he shifted the files, took another and place it before him. 
'Whole of of China!!' Wang Feng's eyes widened. He almost died doing just Beijing, now Boss is talking of the whole of China. 
"I'll hurry up then" He smiled and walked out of Liu Wei's office to his own. 

Liu Wei was looking through one of the documents for the project at hand when he received a call.
"Father?" Liu Wei picked the call and asked surprisingly. His father never called him directly, he always received calls through his personal bodyguard or the house keeper in the ancestral home. This call was really weird, though Liu Wei felt extremely happy by it, it still felt strange. 

"Son, how are you? " His father asked curtly, with no hint of emotion in his voice. 
Liu Wei who found the call a bit strange was now speechless, 'his father had asked him how he was'. 
"Son?, are you there? " Mr Fa Zang Ru asked worriedly. 
"Yeah, Yes father, I'm here, I'm fine" Liu Wei woke up from his daze as he held the phone tightly. 

"Mmm, okay, could you come over to the house for dinner tomorrow night?, it's been long we last saw each other" 
Liu Wei was overwhelmed by his father's concern, he didn't hesitate before replying. 
"Yes, sure, I'll be there"

"Okay then, I'll be hanging up now" Mr Zang Ru replied and hung up the call. Liu Wei held the phone tightly then with his two hands he placed it on his chest and smiled as he twirled around on the office seat. For the first time after over twenty years, his father has shown concern, even though he's already grown and may not necessarily need the love, he was still his father's child. 

That day was particularly beautiful, through the board meeting, Liu Wei held onto his phone and a smile was plastered on his face, leaving the board members puzzled, wondering what happened to make their boss so happy. 

Tuesday arrived slower than Liu Wei anticipated. He went to work early and retired early, took a dignified bath, dressed in one of his best suits and drove straight to his ancestral home, he had a dinner to attend. 

He parked his car at his private parking spot when he was still staying at the ancestral home. He waited a little while inside his car as he relaxed himself. Though he was happy at his father's sudden concern, he didn't fail to think that maybe the dinner might not be a dinner after all.  Stepping out of the car, he pushed such negative thoughts at the back of his head. He strode towards the inner gates that led to the living room. as he approached the gates, it automatically opened and he walked in. 

As he approached the living room, he heard people chattering. His brows creased. 'Was father receiving visitors?' He gently pushed open the doors and before him was his father, another man notably in his sixties and a pretty girl sitting beside the elderly man.
Mr. Zang Ru was the first to notice Liu Wei. 

"Liu Wei, son, come over, you arrived quite early " Mr Zang Ru waved at Liu Wei took come over. Liu Wei walked up-to them and greeted the elder accordingly and he glanced at the girl in her early twenties, pretty face with short hair, she smiled shyly at him and he immediately sighted an empty cushion and sat down. 

Throughout the discussion, Liu Wei only replied to questions directed at him, same with the girl sitting beside the man. Liu Wei didn't look at her again, he felt that there was something really wrong with this dinner, but he didn't want to just conclude. 

He took out his phone and started fumbling with it, right now he rather preferred to be in the office working tirelessly than sit here idly listening to crappy discussions.

COMPLETED!!!! 

"Mr Liu Wei.."

 Liling paused as she took In a deep breath. "I need one million yuan... " 
Liu Wei shifted his gaze to face her. His face bore a surprised expression. 'What was she using that much money for?'

 Liling who was anxious held the helm of her gown tightly. She swallowed hard and continued courageously. "I don't think I can pay back..., but I'll give you something else" 

Her voice drained of all vigour. It was really hard to give herself away, so easily but she had no choice. Taking in a deep breath, she lifted her eyes to look at him. "My body..." ... 



‘’Jin Yue, please wait.’’ Jin Yue suddenly stopped in his tracks, he badly wanted to look back but at the end he decided against it. ‘’Speak, I’m in a hurry.’’

 ‘’Jin Yue, throug the time we spent together, did you ever, even for a split second, love me?’’ 

Jin Yue froze when he heard her question. Did he love her? From the moment he set his eyes on her, he had loved her. She had stolen his heart away that even right now, he wanted to kneel and beg her to stay with him. 

But he wouldn’t tell her that. If he wanted her to stop feeling guilty, he would not tell her. She should hate him so she would be happy with the one she loved.

 ‘’No; not even for a split second, so Miss Xin Yong, stop being delusional and scrap every memory you have of me.’’ ... 


This is a story of two couples and the hurdles they meet in their journey of love and how fate tries to bring them back together. I hope you like it.

"So that's how it is..." Ji Yi believed him, so she didn't force He Jichen to go to the dinner party with her.
...
It was seven o'clock by the time she reached the China World Hotel, Beijing - half an hour late from the meeting time.
Ji Yi didn't want to waste time, so she immediately opened the door when the car stopped. She got out and cried, "I'm heading out first."
"Mhm," responded He Jichen. Just as Ji Yi was about to close the door, he added, "When you're just about done, send me a message in advance and I'll come pick you up."
"Alright," replied Ji Yi with a smile. She shut the door then waved at He Jichen through the car window and walked into China World Hotel, Beijing.
Through the glass, He Jichen watched as a female attendant escorted Ji Yi into the elevator. It wasn't until after the doors closed completely that he stepped on the gas pedal and slowly drove off.
...
This time, the new movie that was about to start production by the director of "Jiuchong Palace" was called "The Fleeting Years." 
As she was making a guest appearance, Ji Yi didn't have many lines to act, so she was done filming after about two to three days.
The leading actress for "The Fleeting Years" was an experienced senior actress who was famous all over China ever since Ji Yi was discovered by a scout after graduation. The male lead was a young, popular actor who didn't have particularly good reviews within the industry. Ji Yi had never worked with him before. Although they usually bumped into each other at big events, they normally only exchanged quick greetings. Come to think of it, tonight's dinner party was the first time they truly met face-to-face.
The male lead was called Yang Li. He was pretty handsome, witty, and was friendly to Ji Yi.
And yet, Ji Yi was quite half-hearted with her replies to Yang Li's endless flirting.
Ji Yi had a natural eye for people and could more or less see through someone like Yang Li. She knew he was showing particular interest in her just to shoot his take with her.
Aside from the male and female leads, Ji Yi was rather familiar with everyone there as they practically all worked on "Jiuchong Palace" together.
Yes, they were all practically the same crew with one exception. Despite there being one exception, Ji Yi was still very familiar with that person.
That one exception was Xie Siyao, the girl who conspired with Qian Ge to cause her car accident.
Last year, Ji Yi caught wind that Xie Siyao had a boyfriend with a wealthy family background. Because of her boyfriend's influence and hefty investments, she was able to take part in small roles in several major movies.
Now that Ji Yi saw them together today, she realized the rumors were actually true.
Although Xie Siyao's rich boyfriend's family background wasn't too bad, it was far from what the tabloids were saying. He just had a bit of money, that was all.
She could tell Xie Siyao was pretty pleased with her rich boyfriend. Throughout the dinner, she never strayed far from the words "my sweetie dearest." Every time Xie Siyao said it, she deliberately glanced over at Ji Yi. Once or twice, she purposefully brought the topic back to Ji Yi. "So Yi Jie, how are you and your boyfriend lately?"
Of course, Ji Yi knew Xie Siyao was doing this on purpose. Although she pretended to play dumb and ignored her, deep down, she couldn't help but complain. Birds of a feather do flock together! She's just the same as Qian Ge.
On Ji Yi's left was Yang Li, who was flirting with her non-stop, and on her right was Xie Siyao, who was inadvertently verbally attacking her. This dinner really was quite difficult for Ji Yi to take.
No matter how well-composed Ji Yi was, towards the end of the dinner, she couldn't take it much longer and found an excuse to go to the restroom to leave the room.
After calming down, Ji Yi washed her hands and emerged from the restroom. As she was just about to head back to the room, she happened to bump into Han Zhifan, who came out of the men's toilets at the same time.
"Xiao Yi?"
Ji Yi was just as shocked as Han Zhifan was. "So you and He Jichen are meeting up here?"
The smile on Han Zhifan's face turned stiff. "Chen Ge? I'm not meeting up with Chen Ge tonight..."


Time stopped at eighteen for Ji Yi, and now all she wants to do is pick up from where she left off. Her career depends on it, and on top of that, she has to survive a fake marriage turned real! Some missed opportunities are irreplaceable, and some misunderstandings between them have proven near-fatal, but for He Jichen, he isn’t just a pretty face—he’s an opportunist. They may have lost their prime years together, but He Jichen is more than willing to spend his remaining years with her. If only she would just trust him… Will Ji Yi be able to find true love in this life? Can she outmaneuver all the snakes plotting her downfall? Only time will tell...

Lu Li blinked and looked at Tang Xi and Qiao Liang who were in formal attire. Qiao Liang secretly smiled and took a look at Lu Li. Lu Li shook his head with a smile. How did this guy come to know he was attending this dinner party?
It was the first time Tang Xi attended a dinner party with Qiao Liang, and also the first time she showed up in public with Qiao Liang, so she was a bit uneasy. At the moment she saw Lu Li and Wen Ning, however, the uneasiness was immediately gone…
Qiao Liang was a celebrity in China. Not only people in City A knew him, people anywhere in China would immediately recognize him as soon as he showed up. Wen Feng surely knew who Qiao Liang was. He blinked and thought, did the Yang Family invite Qiao Liang to this dinner party? 
Just when he thought Qiao Liang would pass him and go talk with the Yang Family people, Qiao Liang suddenly stopped in front of him, looked at Lu Li and reached out his hand to Lu Li. "President Lu, I didn't expect I would meet you here. Are you here for business?"
Wen Feng narrowed his eyes. Qiao Liang took the initiative to greet this man, and called him President Lu? What was his identity?
Lu Li didn't expect Qiao Liang would do this. He smiled in his heart and cooperatively played along in the drama with Qiao Liang. "Yes, long time no see, President Qiao. I came to City A to purchase some companies."
Qiao Liang retracted his hand, put his arm around Tang Xi's slender waist, and smiled at Lu Li as he said, "Long Xiao Group spans so many industries. Do you have to do it yourself even if it's just the acquisition of several companies?"
Wen Feng immediately straightened up when he heard Long Xiao Group. He didn't know Lu Li, but he knew well of Long Xiao Group. It was the largest arms dealer in the world, and had almost monopolized the global arms trade. It was engaged in numerous industries. Their influence covered so many fields, you couldn't name all of them…
Was this young man Long Xiao Group's president? But he looked so young!
"Oh…" Qiao Liang seriously nodded and continued, "I heard Long Xiao Group donated a shipment of weapons to Chinese government. Did you come here for this matter, President Lu?"
"That's not a donation. I'm a businessman and won't support any country unconditionally. Although China is my motherland, I'll do what I should do, but I'm still going to recover the cost." 
Qiao Liang grunted, took a look at Wen Feng and nodded at Lu Li as he said, "You still gave up a lot of profits. I have something to tend to. I'll go first. Bye." With that, he led Tang Xi away, and walked straight to the center of the hall. From the very beginning to the end, he didn't even look at Wen Feng… 
The ignored Wen Feng, "…" This young lad was just as arrogant as people said! Even he, a regiment commander, was given a cold shoulder by him! Sh*t!
Tang Xi and Qiao Liang burst into laughter when they walked far away. Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and she laughed. "I never thought you would serve as a matchmaker… and… you were so good at acting. Ah Liang, you were so cute."
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and pretended to listen to her with all ears. Tang Xi smiled, took his arm and whispered, "I know you're actually not as cold as the rumors say. You're willing to do anything for your friend, lover and family, just like the situation just now. No one will expect that you would come upstairs to ask what kind of party this was and ask your men to find an invitation card that has been thrown into the trash bin by you, just to help your friend to regain his lost love."

And then, she was hit by a car and stomped to death by Xiao Jinning. her tragic life was ended.
Tang Xi, a real princess, the heiress of the powerful Empire Group, was murdered by her greedy relatives. When she opened her eyes again, she found she was in another girl’s body.

She would avenge poor Xiao Rou, punish the murderers of her, become the most popular star, and….make up with her true love---Qiao Liang. 

October 4th was the national holiday in China. 
Most people were either taking a break, traveling, or playing with their phones in bed.
Other than the prize giving day in December, very few people paid attention to the names of the Nobel Prize winners.
Unless…
There was a special name on the list of winners.
The moment the news was broadcasted, or rather, there was no need for the news broadcast at all.
The second the list was announced, the news of Lu Zhou winning the Nobel Prize spread across the fields of chemistry, materials science, condensed matter physics, and mathematics at an incredible speed.
After the first news article came out online, the rest followed like a tsunami, flooding Weibo and WeChat.
After the legitimacy of the news was confirmed, almost half of China was discussing this event.
[Oh my god, a mathematician won the Nobel Prize!]
[Jesus, if I recalled correctly, God Lu won the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians, right?]
[Winning both the Nobel Prize and Fields Medal! Scary…]
[Organic chemists must be crying right now; this year's Nobel Prize wasn't stolen by biologists…]
[24-year-old Nobel Prize winner… One year younger than the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history. This might be a world record!]
[God Lu is nutty!]
[Shuimu University sent a congratulatory message!]
[Yanjing University sent a congratulatory message!]
[Jin Ling University sent a congratulatory message!]
 […]
Lu Zhou had never been number one on trending. He hadn't even had time to share his joy with his fans, but he was already bumped to number one on trending.
What did the Nobel Prize represent?
For the country, this represented confidence as it meant that China's scientific research was on par with international research standards. It meant that more students doing the college entrance examination would major in biochemical. It also meant many other things…
At the same time, it also meant that Lu Zhou's birthplace, residence, and schools would try to develop themselves into a tourist, education, and cultural attractions.
As for Lu Zhou himself, the significance of the Nobel Prize was extraordinary.
There wasn't a single international scientific research institute in the world that would refuse the participation of a Nobel Prize winner.
The same thing applied in China.
Not just that, but he would receive an insane amount of respect, special treatment, and resources. The kind that most scientific researchers couldn't even begin to imagine.
…
They spent around two hours eating.
Chen Baohua was somewhat off his game.
He never expected Lu Zhou to win the Nobel Prize. Not just that, but he was afraid that the Communist Party also didn't expect this to happen.
A Nobel-level scholar and a Nobel Prize winner was completely different…
After dinner, Chen Baohua went back to Philadelphia International Airport. He didn't spend an extra day in Philadelphia. He was on the next flight back to China.
Apparently, the Communist Party called him in for a meeting. Therefore, he didn't want to stay here for long.
Also, he said that he would convey Lu Zhou's requests to the higher-ups.
After driving Chen Baohua to the airport, Lu Zhou drove Chen Yushan back to the University of Pennsylvania.
While getting off the car, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered something.
"Are you interested in the Nobel Prize?"
"Of course I'm interested."
"Are you available in December?"
"I am! Are you taking me there?" Chen Yushan's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded. However, she realized she might cause trouble for Lu Zhou, so she asked, "Can you bring people to the Nobel Prize award ceremony? This won't cause any trouble, right?"
If it caused trouble for Lu Zhou, she wouldn't want to go…
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "What trouble, friends and relatives can all go."
Whether it was the award venue or the world-famous Nobel Prize dinner, as a Nobel laureate, he had powers to invite any family and friends he wanted.
Also, apparently in the past, there was no upper limit on the number of friends and family he could bring to the Nobel Prize party.
That was until 1988, when Camilo José Cela, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, brought 68 people from his village to the dinner. His action had frightened the Nobel Committee.
Therefore, a new rule was implemented—Nobel Prize laureates couldn't bring more than 14 relatives or friends.
However, 14 people were a bit too much for Lu Zhou.
He didn't have that many relatives, and he was only close to his parents and Xiao Tong.
His parents and Xiao Tong definitely had to go, so that took up three spots. Because this all happened so suddenly, Lu Zhou didn't know who else he should invite for the remaining 11 spots.
Therefore, since Chen Yushan seemed to be very interested, he decided to ask her.
Chen Yushan said in a happy tone, "Really? Then I'm going! I have never been to a Nobel Prize award ceremony before."
Lu Zhou smiled.
It's totally normal that you haven't been to one.
99.9999% will never have the chance to go…
…
It was pretty late once Lu Zhou got back to Princeton.
He didn't go to his office at the Institute for Advanced Study. Instead, he drove straight home.
After taking a shower, Lu Zhou lay in bed with his phone. When he saw the 99+ notifications on Weibo, he couldn't help but smirk.
Should I do a Nobel Prize dinner lottery for my fans?
Lu Zhou thought about it for a bit and decided to give up on the idea.
Although it sounds interesting, the logistics are way too complicated…
His phone suddenly rang.
It was from Xiao Tong. 
Lu Zhou picked up the phone.
An excited voice came from the other end of the telephone.
"Brother, brother! My mathematical modeling competition results are out! I receive a first-level national prize!"
When Lu Zhou heard the good news, he smiled and said, "First-level national prize… Not bad at all. You have potential!"
Lu Zhou was thinking about the time when he was in the mathematical modeling competition.
He hadn't been in contact with his two competition teammates.
He wondered how they were doing.
Xiao Tong smirked at Lu Zhou's compliment. Although Lu Zhou couldn't see her face right now, he could imagine her narcissistic smile.
In many ways, Xiao Tong was like him.
The only difference was their levels of humbleness.
Xiao Tong laughed and asked, "Then brother, is there a reward?"
Lu Zhou smiled. "There is, how about I take you on a trip?"
"Really?" Xiao Tong's eyes lit up, but suddenly, she felt suspicious of it. She said, "But brother, you're usually very busy. When did you have the time to go on a vacation?"
Lu Zhou said, "It's not just for vacationing."
Xiao Tong asked, "Not just for vacationing?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Yeah, it's also to receive a Nobel Prize."
In addition to the Nobel Prize, there was also the long-awaited Clay Institute Millennium Prize Problems.
Since he was going to Europe anyway, he might as well visit the Institut de France to receive his million-dollar reward for solving one of the Millennium Prize Problems…
Xiao Tong: "…"


After suffering from a heat stroke while working under the scorching heat of summer, Lu Zhou, a hardworking but poor university student, somehow becomes the owner of an advanced technological system. With the cheat given by the system, his university life changes overnight. 
  
A Master's degree? Easy. 
  
PhD? Not a problem.   
  
From a nobody, he quickly becomes a huge celebrity in the world of science. With the missions given by the system, he is on his way to winning a Nobel Prize.   

"System, can points be exchanged for money?"
  
"No."
  
"F**k, what use are you then!?"
  
"This system will make you the ultimate scholar, the kind that lords over all of humanity. What use will money be to you?"
