Inside the private room, Xue Fei casually placed the gift down.

"Honey, look..." Bei Wei subtly gestured to Zhang Yang. "Bei Jiajia and that other person aren't even officially dating yet."

Zhang Yang stepped forward and took a look.

What Xue Fei gave him wasn't one of those decorative items with gold leaf craftsmanship and little actual gold content, but rather a genuine piece of 24K gold weighing over a hundred grams, which was indeed quite expensive.

At least in his view, it was somewhat inappropriate to give someone of such low value as a guest when they came to visit.

"Xue Fei, we appreciate your kind gesture and have accepted the gifts. We'll transfer the money to you later," Zhang Yang said casually.

"It's really not much money," Xue Fei said with a smile, as if he wanted to say something more.

"Hey, that's not how it's said." Zhang Yang took out the invoice, looked at it, and waved to Bei Jiajia, "Here, I'll transfer the money to you, and you can transfer it to Xiao Xue later."

"Oh." Bei Jiajia obediently stepped forward.

Zhang Yang also included the money he borrowed from Bei Jiajia, rounding it up to a whole amount, and transferred 500,000 yuan to her.

It wasn't that he was generous; after all, Bei Jiajia transferred 300,000 to him, and he received a system cashback of 30 million. He wouldn't feel at ease spending the money if he didn't return some.

"Wow, brother-in-law, why did you spin so many for me?" Bei Jiajia's eyes widened slightly, a little incredulous.

"I'm not taking your money for free," Zhang Yang asked, amused.

"Then, brother-in-law, please remember me next time, hehe." Bei Jiajia happily accepted the money.

She took the money and glanced at Xue Fei beside her.

"Come here for a second."

Xue Fei blinked, puzzled, and stepped forward.

"Hey, yesterday I transferred 300,000 to my brother-in-law, and today, with interest and the money from the thing you bought, he transferred 500,000 to me." Bei Jiajia waved her phone lightly. "I'm transferring the money you spent back to you. Please check."

"Huh?" Xue Fei was a little confused.

Did you transfer 500,000 to Bei Jiajia?

After deducting the tens of thousands of yuan worth of decorative items he owned, did Bei Jiajia's brother-in-law overpay Bei Jiajia by more than ten thousand yuan?

Is this how you repay money?

"Okay, the money's been transferred to you." Bei Jiajia quickly transferred the money to Xue Fei. "They say it's interest, but frankly, isn't it just because my brother-in-law dotes on me and keeps giving me pocket money in various ways? Now you know why my brother-in-law borrowed money from me, right?"

Xue Fei stared blankly at the transfer he had received on his phone, then glanced at the boy not far away, vaguely wondering if he had misunderstood something.

Could what Bei Jiajia mentioned be true?

At the lunch table, Bei Jiajia pulled Bei Wei aside, showing off the potted plants she had carefully selected.

"Sis, I'll bring these two potted plants to Cuihu Park this afternoon. They're growing so well; they'll definitely bring good fortune to your home."

"She's very good-looking." Bei Wei leaned closer to take a look.

After chatting with Bei Wei for a while, Bei Jiajia suddenly remembered something and looked at Zhang Yang, "By the way, brother-in-law, what housewarming gift did you prepare for my sister?"

"Your brother-in-law bought the house, why would you need a housewarming gift?" Bei Wei gently patted Bei Jiajia's hand.

"With your brother-in-law's resources, it's impossible that he didn't prepare anything, right, brother-in-law?" Bei Jiajia said with a smile.

"Of course not." Zhang Yang kept everyone in suspense. "But I can't produce this myself; you'll have to see it in person. If you're free this afternoon, I'll take you to see it."

At the table, Xue Fei ate his food, constantly looking for an opportunity to join the conversation.

Upon hearing this, he quickly followed.

"Jiajia, how about we go take a look together this afternoon? I'll take you there."

"Huh? You're coming along this afternoon too?" Bei Jiajia's casual remark revealed her true thoughts.

Immediately, Xue Fei's face flushed red and then turned pale, and he stammered, unsure of what to say.

He was usually a rich second-generation heir who could have whatever he wanted, and he was never lacking in confidence. But for some reason, he couldn't muster any backbone in front of Bei Jiajia.

Zhang Yang wanted to keep it a secret, but Bei Jiajia kept asking.

"Alright, I won't hide it from you anymore. I got a two-story shop for your sister. I'm thinking of opening a book cafe downstairs, where she can read and drink coffee," Zhang Yang explained.

"Wow, this gift is amazing!" Bei Jiajia's eyes were sparkling.

"Do you know that my dream is to open a book cafe, where I can live a peaceful life surrounded by books and coffee? But my dad thinks that opening such a shop is a complete waste of money, like throwing money down the drain. It's only because my brother-in-law doesn't care about money that he's willing to help my sister open this kind of shop."

Upon hearing these words, Bei Jiajia couldn't help but hug Bei Wei, her eyes filled with envy.

Bei Wei's expression also lit up with joy.

"So, do you like this arrangement? Or would you like to open another kind of shop? I'd support that too," Zhang Yang asked with a smile. "Just one request: it can't be too tiring."

Bei Wei gave a soft "hmm," her joy evident. Despite the presence of others, she couldn't resist leaning forward and kissing Zhang Yang on the cheek.

On the table to the side, Xue Fei watched with envy, but dared not look any longer and quickly lowered his head.

If what Bei Jiajia said is true, then her brother-in-law is indeed invincible. What girl could resist such good fortune?

Lunch was, of course, quite lavish.

However, no one's attention was on the food.

After lunch, the group prepared to head over to check out Bei Wei's Future Book Cafe.

Outside the Rong Mansion Banquet, Xue Fei had just walked towards his BMW M2 when he saw a black Cullinan slowly drive up. Bei Jiajia's sister opened the passenger door and got in.

"It really Cullinan, and a BB version at that." Xue Fei stood next to his BMW and couldn't help but exclaim.

This Cullinan is the real deal.

Compared to this car, my BMW M2, which I used to be quite proud of, now looks like nothing more than a tractor.

Bei Jiajia looked at the Cullinan and felt a little tempted to sit on it.

"Jiajia." Xue Fei quickly shamelessly moved closer, "Want to ride in my car?"

"Fine, I'll give you face." Bei Jiajia glanced at him and walked towards the passenger seat.

Immediately, Xue Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, they managed to save face.

A moment later, the Cullinan was in front, and Xue Fei was driving his BMW M2 behind, following closely behind, and the two cars headed to their destination together.

In the afternoon, under the sunlight.

The two cars stopped downstairs at the Yunheng Building.

"That two-story shop up ahead, the one on the corner, it's in a great location." Zhang Yang got out of the Cullinan, took Bei Wei's hand, and pointed to it in the distance.

Bei Wei looked over.

The two-story shop with its all-glass curtain wall could be transformed into a bookstore/cafe in the future. Imagine having sofas along the floor-to-ceiling windows, where you could read a book by the window in the afternoon – it sounds wonderful.

She cheered and hugged Zhang Yang tightly.

"Honey, this place is absolutely wonderful."

Behind them, Xue Fei and Bei Jiajia stepped forward and also looked at the shop in front of them.

"Such a large area, the rent must be very expensive," Xue Fei remarked, trying to make conversation.

As soon as he said this, several pairs of eyes turned to Zhang Yang.

"Rent?" Zhang Yang put his hands in his pockets, looked at the tens of thousands of square meters of commercial space in front of him, and then at the eighty-meter-tall office building next to it. "Why should I pay rent for my own property?"

A moment later, Zhang Yang led Bei Wei and the others through the building, as if they were walking in their own backyard.

As people came and went, the property staff kept coming up to him, greeting him one after another.

"Brother-in-law!" Bei Jiajia's voice trembled with barely suppressed excitement. She stepped forward and, oblivious to everyone else, tightly embraced Zhang Yang's arm. "This building is owned by the Zhang family? And that huge commercial complex next door is also owned by the Zhang family?"

"Hey, be mindful of the impact, don't let your sister misunderstand." Zhang Yang smiled and took Bei Wei's hand as they walked through his property.

For the first time, he openly and generously showcased his business and his capabilities.

The 5A-grade office building, with its huge atrium and spotless floor-to-ceiling windows, impressed them with every detail.

Zhang Yang pushed open the property management office door, sat down unceremoniously in the boss's chair, and then pulled Bei Wei to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, where they gazed at the elevated highway in the distance and the Lujiazui faintly visible in the far distance.

Standing atop my own industry, a sense of confidence welled up within me.

Behind him, Xue Fei stood with his hands hanging limply, forcing a forced laugh, looking up at the dashing, handsome profile before him, completely stunned.

Such a large industry?

This must be worth at least a billion or so, right?

Just from this industry, they can easily collect tens of millions in rent every year.

Let alone him, even if his father were here, he would just be an insignificant little Karami in front of them.

"From now on, you can focus on running your boyfriend's business and enjoy life to the fullest. Whether you make money or not doesn't really matter; I'll support you," Zhang Yang said with a smile to Bei Wei.

Bei Wei nodded, feeling only gratitude, and was completely immersed in an unimaginable sense of security.

"Wow, you have such a large business empire! You even joined me in opening Mao Roast Duck restaurant."

"One thing at a time." Zhang Yang smiled and hugged Bei Wei's small waist. Seeing her upturned face with her cheeks flushed with excitement, he couldn't help but kiss her.

Bei Jiajia watched this scene with envy from behind, then glanced at Xue Fei beside her.

"Hey, Xue Fei, you should go back now."

"Huh? Or... or I can wait and take you back later," Xue Fei asked hesitantly, his face flushed.

"No need, please stop bothering me, okay? I have things to do with my brother-in-law and the others later," Bei Jiajia said without any politeness.

Previously, she had never given Xue Fei a friendly look.

Now that she knows her brother-in-law has such a business, she feels more confident and is even more disrespectful to Xue Fei.

However, even though she acted this way, Xue Fei felt it was only natural at that moment.

"Okay, then call me anytime if you need anything."

His expression shifted several times, but he still quietly and consciously left the office.

"Sister, how are you feeling now?" After everyone left, Bei Jiajia stepped forward and asked, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

"I'm so envious of you! Running a shop in your brother-in-law's business and living a carefree life, it's practically the perfect life for you."

"If you want to know, just find someone like this," Bei Wei said, clinging tightly to Zhang Yang's arm without any hesitation.

Bei Jiajia stuck out her tongue, knowing that her older sister was a little unhappy that she and Zhang Yang weren't very close.

"I probably won't find a brother-in-law like that in my lifetime," she muttered under her breath, then added in a very soft voice, "What a stingy guy."

"What did you say?" Bei Wei emphasized, stepping forward with her smile unchanged as she asked.

"Nothing, nothing," Bei Jiajia quickly waved her hand.

After viewing the shops, the next step is naturally to start the project.

The shop wasn't opened with the intention of making money, so the way it was run was entirely according to Bei Wei's ideas, exactly as she envisioned it.

As for any compromises made in order to make a profit, they don't exist here.

Coincidentally, there was an interior design company right above his office building. Zhang Yang didn't intend to hide his identity and go to the company as an ordinary client, so he directly asked Manager Zhou to make contact.

Then, I went to the interior design company openly and legitimately as the owner of the office building.

In the afternoon, in the office of the owner of the interior design company.

The company boss was making tea and trying to find topics to talk about; his enthusiasm, even his flattery and fawning, was evident in every word he uttered.

"Mr. Zhang, leave this to me. I'll arrange for our company's chief designer to handle it!"

He patted his chest as he made the call.

"What? He's out looking at houses? Come back right now!"

"There's no need to rush them back, is there?" Zhang Yang said with a smile. "This isn't urgent."

"How can that be? Your time is money, and wasting your time is a sin," Mr. Boss Li, kept saying. "Please wait a moment, they will be here shortly."

In the afternoon, the chief designer of the interior design company rushed back to the company and discussed the plan with Bei Wei and the others.

Zhang Yang was bored, so he decided to leave.

He still has 50 million yuan in cashback quota left to claim, and he'll definitely try to get it.

Fifty million! How indifferent must one be to money to ignore fifty million?

Given his current financial resources, he wouldn't dare to ignore these fifty million.

Sitting Cullinan, Zhang Yang took the opportunity to return all the money he had borrowed from the girls.

For small amounts of tens of thousands, just return double the amount.

His image Zhang Yang of great stature cannot be damaged in the slightest.

For large sums, like Luo Xinyu's, people can transfer 1.5 million to him without batting an eye, bringing him a cashback of 150 million.

He's paying back the money now, shouldn't he be more generous?

With a few taps of his finger, Zhang Yang transferred two million back to Luo Xinyu.

Once the two million was transferred, Luo Xinyu reacted very quickly.

What's going on?

"Pay me back. Oh, and I rounded it up for you." Zhang Yang replied casually.

Then, the transoceanic video call came in.

"Good man, are you testing me?" Luo Xinyu asked gently, her eyes soft and alluring. "Do I need you to test me? Just one phone call from you and I can fly back to you this afternoon."

"No, it's really nothing, it's just something I need temporarily. You know I'm not one to mistreat people," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

As he was talking, he saw a message from Pei Xiaoru, and quickly told Luo Xinyu that he wanted to end the video call.

Pei Xiaoru's message to him was that she had received the money from her parents.
