Zhang Yang was, of course, unaware of this, and had no intention of putting on airs like a big shot all the time.

That would be too deliberate; after all, his financial resources and assets don't match his demeanor.

For him, what he values more is the leap in ability and vision that experience books bring him; as for temperament and aura, they are just icing on the cake.

Inside the Cloud Sea Capital office.

Zhang Yang met Bai Xiaomi, who had just returned from vacation.

Upon meeting, Bai Xiaomi gave him a tender hug and a passionate kiss.

Zhang Yang glanced up at the closed office door, then casually pulled Bai Xiaomi into his arms for a tender moment.

Tenderness is tenderness, and work is work.

A moment later, Bai Xiaomi blushed and went to pour tea, An An stood quietly to the side.

Zhang Yang then started looking at the reports.

To his shame, he could only see the surface of things in the past, let alone give advice on the state of affairs.

But now, these reports, right under his nose, are like stripped naked, their true nature easily revealed.

"Indeed, Zhou Zhaodong is someone you can trust."

Zhang Yang's hands never stopped as he flipped through the financial and business-related reports. He seemed to be moving very fast, but in reality, he was meticulous and had basically grasped the whole situation.

There's really no problem.

Regarding the latest personnel changes, the company has recruited a new batch of graduates from top-tier universities (985 universities), bringing fresh blood to the company once again.

"Bai Jingyi." Zhang Yang looked up at Bai Xiaomi and casually approved a form. "Your salary is adjusted to this level."

Bai Xiaomi was overjoyed, and when she saw the details on the list, she couldn't contain her happiness and immediately gave Zhang Yang a hug.

"I love you to death, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Yang felt Bai Xiaomi's boundless tenderness and smiled without saying a word.

In reality, this can be seen as a way of indirectly providing Bai Xiaomi with benefits through the company's operating funds, and it can also be considered a reward for Bai Xiaomi.

After lunch, he arranged a meeting for everyone, from management to new and old employees, with everyone participating.

At the meeting, Zhang Yang was finally able to confidently offer his opinions.

Normally, in these kinds of situations, it's Zhou Zhaodong who does the talking, while the boss listens in.

Does he not want to talk?

The key issue is that he doesn't have many constructive opinions to offer, while everyone in the company is highly educated. So in the past, it was better to maintain an air of mystery rather than spout off something off the cuff.

But now, there's no such worry at all.

Inside the conference room, a group of highly educated employees, each a prodigy, looked up at the company's rather mysterious boss with admiration in their eyes.

I never expected that.

This big boss is not only incredibly handsome, but his actual abilities and aura are also so awe-inspiring and commanding.

The words he spoke were truly precious and insightful.

"Finally, here's the latest salary system. Please take a quick look and see which category you fall under." Zhang Yang glanced at the projector and gestured.

He knew that everyone was out working to earn money. A thousand nice words were not as inspiring as something practical.

There was a moment of silence in the meeting room.

Immediately following was thunderous applause.

··

After the meeting, Zhang Yang left the company directly and went straight to Lakeville Regency.

The sweet girl prepared a whole table of dishes for him tonight, just waiting for him to come over for dinner.

As the Phantom passed a flower shop, Zhang Yang asked the driver to stop.

Inside the flower shop, clusters of fresh flowers filled the air with their sweet fragrance.

"Sir, would you like to send flowers to your girlfriend?" The female shop owner asked solicitously, looking at the young man who had stepped down from the Phantom.

"Is this lily of the valley?" Zhang Yang asked, pointing casually to the clusters of small, beautiful white flowers that resembled bells.

The experience books of Fortune 500 CEOs not only improved his abilities but also broadened his horizons, such as recognizing the lily of the valley in front of him at a glance.

In France, approximately 60 million lily of the valley flowers are sold each year, and there is an annual lily of the valley festival.

In China, lily of the valley has another very poetic name: Junyingcao (君影草).

These flowers are quite expensive in China. A single bouquet can cost anywhere from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.

"Yes, sir, you have excellent taste. This is imported from the Netherlands and just arrived this morning," the shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Give me a handful," Zhang Yang said casually, "As soon as possible."

"Yes, sir!" The shopkeeper immediately beamed and busied herself with tasks.

No wonder they're rich people who drive Phantom; even a bouquet of flowers like this would cost tens of thousands, yet they took it without batting an eye.

Zhang Yang sat in the shop for a while, watching the female shopkeeper carefully prepare the flowers and then deliver them to him.

As for the price, there's not much to say, it's just over ten thousand.

To be honest, this flower is exquisite and beautiful, fresh and elegant, and has a delicate fragrance. No wonder many brides now choose lily of the valley as their wedding bouquet.

"Take care, sir." The female shop owner saw him all the way to the door and watched him get into his car. In her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little envious of the lucky girl she had never met.

What kind of lucky girl must she be to deserve this man's affection?

As evening fell, the Phantom stopped downstairs at Lakeville Regency.

Zhang Yang got out of the car with the flowers, told the driver to go back first, and then walked towards the familiar building corridor.

A moment later, Zhang Yang gently knocked on the door of Bei Wei's house.

A moment later, the door opened.

"Husband..." With a surprised exclamation, Bei Wei immediately gave him a passionate hug and a hot kiss.

Zhang Yang had no choice but to gently move the bouquet aside and fully enjoy the sweet girl's tender and infinitely gentle kiss.

After a while, Zhang Yang presented the lily of the valley to Bei Wei.

"It's for you."

"This is... lily of the valley!!" Bei Wei exclaimed with delight upon seeing the elegant and refreshing bouquet before her, taking the lily of the valley into her hands as if it were a priceless treasure.

It was clear that Bei Wei was much, much happier than he had imagined.

Inside the house, Bei Jiajia also ran out upon hearing the noise, her eyes wide as she stared at the scene before her.

"This bouquet of lilies of the valley must cost tens of thousands, right? It really is my brother-in-law's doing." She said with a mixture of envy and admiration. "My sister's dream was to one day walk down the aisle holding a bouquet of lilies of the valley, and now, her husband has already prepared it for her."

"Ah... is that so?" Zhang Yang couldn't help but look at Bei Wei.

"Don't listen to Bei Jiajia's nonsense." Bei Wei blushed, gently leaned closer to smell the flowers, then pulled Zhang Yang up, "Come on, let's eat."

A moment later, Zhang Yang was pulled into the house by Bei Wei.

"You... the food is ready?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise. "Thank you for your hard work."

"I just helped out, I wouldn't dare claim credit, it's mainly my sister's doing." Bei Jiajia laughed and hugged Bei Wei's arm.

This sweet girl's culinary skills are definitely top-notch.

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table and smelling the enticing aroma, Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a strong urge to eat. Moreover, the dishes on the table weren't just Sichuan cuisine; there were also many mild-tasting dishes to suit everyone's palate.

"Wait a moment." Bei Wei carefully found a vase, placed the lily of the valley inside, and then carried it to the balcony.

The evening breeze gently swayed the lily of the valley, and the brightly lit house was filled with the warmth of daily life.

Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of beauty welled up within me.

That evening, the three of them sat at a table, eating and chatting.

The dishes that this sweet girl makes, whether it's boiled sliced pork, spicy blood curd, sweet and sour pork ribs, or stir-fried shrimp, are all quite delicious. As for the soup, it's a simple tomato and egg soup, refreshing and just right, perfectly balancing the overly richness of these other dishes.

"Come on, sister and brother-in-law, I wish your store a grand opening and booming business." Bei Jiajia raised her glass.

Tonight, Bei Wei specially opened a bottle of red wine, and the three of them had a little.

The three raised their glasses and clinked them together, a kind of early celebration.

In reality, for Zhang Yang, it doesn't matter whether the business is good or bad in the future; it's just a place for his sweet little girl to pass the time.

However, Bei Wei had high hopes for this store.

"Oh right, look, all the old acquaintances are out." Bei Wei suddenly handed her phone to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang glanced at it and realized it was a post Bei Wei had just made on her WeChat Moments not long ago.

As a small business owner, it wouldn't be right not to promote her new store on WeChat Moments, so she specially edited a post to promote her bookstore cafe.

Right now, there are many likes on the post, and quite a few familiar faces are among them.

Former colleagues, friends, and even Bei Wei's former roommate Gu Jiani, were among them.

[Congratulations! Where is the address?] This is Gu Jiani's comment.

Zhang Yang still remembered Gu Jiani; she was a girl from a wealthy family. They had a small misunderstanding before, but since Bei Wei moved out, Zhang Yang had long forgotten about her.

"They seem like they're here to support us." Zhang Yang pushed the phone back.

"Who knows? I shouldn't ask, lest I be mistaken," Bei Wei said softly with a smile. "We haven't been in touch for a long time."

Now she has her own career, and she's busy with many things every day. Her life is incredibly fulfilling, and naturally, she's no longer the same person as her former colleagues and friends.

She figured they were probably just asking out of curiosity, nothing more. She didn't think they'd actually come to support her.

··

After dinner, Bei Jiajia volunteered to clear the table.

Bowls and chopsticks, wiping the table... everything was done in an orderly fashion. Looking at how efficient this younger sister-in-law was, you would never guess that she had never lifted a finger at home.

After a while, everything was tidied up neatly.

"Alright, I won't disturb your time together any longer," Bei Jiajia said, quite consciously taking her leave.

"Then take your time going back, I won't keep you any longer." Bei Wei blinked, not bothering to be polite with her adopted younger sister.

"Okay, sister and brother-in-law, bye-bye." Bei Jiajia waved and quickly disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the house An An, with only Zhang Yang and Xiao Tianmei remaining.

The two stood on the balcony, where the evening breeze was blowing, and exchanged a glance; naturally, everything was understood without words.

That night, Zhang Yang was naturally pinned down on the bed by the sweet girl.

The kind where you hold it down and don't let go.

The entire night was filled with tenderness, and the spring breeze was gentle and warm—needless to say more.

When Zhang Yang woke up early in the morning, he was holding a soft, fragrant body in his arms. He was a little dazed, looked down at his long, dark hair, and then realized that he was in Bei Wei's house.

"Fortunately, I'm physically strong enough."

He sighed, looking at the sweet girl's increasingly flawless skin, and deeply felt that the old saying was indeed true.

Seeing that Bei Wei was still sleeping soundly, Zhang Yang gently moved the little sweet girl's hands and feet away from him, tiptoed out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went into the kitchen to check the refrigerator.

The refrigerator is naturally stocked with food.

He used what he had on hand: yams, eggs, and milk. He decided to make some yam pancakes.

I don't know how much time passed, but the stomach-soothing porridge was simmering and the yam cakes were fried, and the kitchen was immediately filled with a wonderful aroma.

When Bei Wei, still half-asleep, emerged from the bedroom in her pajamas, revealing her fair legs, and saw the figure busily working in the kitchen, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart for no apparent reason.

"Honey, you're up so early." She stepped forward and hugged Zhang Yang's waist, her face gently pressed against his back.

"I'm not tired," Zhang Yang said, a statement that seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

Upon hearing this, Bei Wei's cheeks flushed red, and she couldn't help but tiptoe and bite Zhang Yang's ear. "Hmph, if you're not tired, we'll continue tonight. Stubborn as ever."

On an autumn morning, after a cozy breakfast, the two headed straight to the book cafe.

Oh, by the way, the store's name is Youjian Book Cafe, and it was Zhang Yang who personally came up with the name.

The opening date is tomorrow; as for today, consider it a time to check for any omissions or deficiencies.

Outside the commercial area below Yunheng Building, a newly renovated Youjian Book Cafe with a unique decor attracts the attention of passersby.

The surrounding area is full of office buildings, and the residents are mostly young people.

This kind of shop, which combines the style of a bookstore and a coffee shop, will naturally attract a group of artsy and sophisticated young people.

Inside the bookstore café, a few staff members in matching uniforms were busy making final preparations for the opening.

"It seems... it seems like the landlady has arrived!"

Someone whispered something.

Several shop assistants looked outside and saw the Panamera that the boss's wife often drove approaching.

"There seems to be a guy in the passenger seat... Wow, he's so handsome!"

"I heard that the boss's boyfriend is very influential. It's said that this entire office building, including the surrounding commercial area, belongs to him. Is that the one?"

The shop assistants whispered among themselves until the two entered the store, at which point they all fell silent.

"Everyone, come here for a moment." Bei Wei stood in the shop and clapped her hands gently to signal them to come over.

Immediately, all the shop assistants gathered together, secretly taking a close look at the dazzling, unconventional young man in front of them.

It's so dazzling!

It perfectly matched all their imaginations about the boss's mysterious boyfriend.

"Honey, look, all the employees in the store are here now." Bei Wei gently took Zhang Yang's hand and introduced them, "Let me introduce you all. This is General Manager Zhang, you can think of him as the owner of our store."
