Su Yang took out his phone and answered.
"Hello, Old Meng."
"Hey, Old Su, where are you?"
"I'm over by Lianwu Lake."
"At your courtyard?"
"Yeah, it's finished, so I came over to take a look."
"Nice! Congratulations. We should go hang out at your place another day, maybe have a barbecue or something."
"Sure, I set up this courtyard to be our backyard anyway. Whenever you have time, we can arrange to hang out here."
"Awesome." Meng Wenzhou smiled and continued, "Oh, by the way, I called to tell you that you can head to the bank to transfer the money now."
"It's ready? Alright, where are you now? I'll come find you."
"I'm at the company. Just come straight here."
Su Yang stood up and said, "OK, I'll be right there. We'll talk later."
"Alright."
Hanging up the phone, Su Yang got into his car, drove out of the courtyard, closed the main gate behind him, and then headed toward the city.
Forty minutes later, Su Yang arrived at Meng Wenzhou's company.
At 3:00 PM, the two finished their business at the bank, and Su Yang successfully transferred 160 million to Meng Wenzhou's company account.
Qin He had already transferred his money yesterday, so now only Zhang Ziming, Liu Bo, and a few others were left.
After the successful transfer, the system's prompt sounded right on time.
[Ding. Detected that the host has successfully invested in the Qinglian Mountain Racetrack. Payment task completed. Reward: 400 million. An additional 200 million will be rewarded after the successful renovation of the racetrack.]
Hearing this, Su Yang smiled silently. Renovating the racetrack would still take some time, but there was no rush.
However, he just spent 1.6 units and immediately brought in 4 units, making a massive profit of 2.4. This feeling was simply indescribably good.
Arriving at the roadside, Meng Wenzhou took out a cigarette, handed it to Su Yang, and smiled. "Your part is basically done. Fatty and Ziming have things to do today. Once they transfer the money tomorrow, we can make the payment."
Su Yang took the cigarette and lit it. "Alright, if you need me for anything, just give me a heads-up."
"No need, it won't be that troublesome. Once we completely take over, I'll hire a professional design team to go to the site and see how to renovate it. When the time comes, we can just go together and give some suggestions."
"Then, when the renovation officially starts, we'll have to put up another sum of money, but it shouldn't be too much. I estimate around 200 million will do. We can discuss it then."
"Alright, no problem."
The two chatted as they walked. Su Yang asked, "What have you been doing these past two days besides being busy with the racetrack?"
Meng Wenzhou took a drag of his cigarette and laughed. "I haven't really been busy with much. Mostly the people at the company are handling it."
"I just come to the company from time to time to check in. The rest of the time, I'm just staying at home as usual or finding a place to drink afternoon tea."
"Haha, I'm about the same."
"By the way, when Pan Pan went to your house, what was your parents' impression of her? She didn't have a long face the whole time, did she?"
Su Yang smiled softly. "I suddenly thought of a saying."
"What saying?"
"The prejudice in people's hearts is like a great mountain..."
"What do you mean?" Meng Wenzhou asked, a bit confused.
Su Yang winked at Meng Wenzhou. "Pan Pan's performance this time can only be described with one word: excellent! It was absolutely excellent. Plus, she showed a side of herself that none of us had ever seen before. She was very cheerful and really knew how to make people happy."
"What? Pan Pan? Cheerful? Making people happy?" Meng Wenzhou said in shock.
"Yeah, I was just like you before. Especially when I saw it in person, I was even more surprised than you."
"Are you kidding me? She actually has a side like that? I've never seen it."
"I never would have imagined it."
The two chatted casually as they returned to the ground floor of Meng Wenzhou's company.
"What are you planning to do later?" Meng Wenzhou asked.
"I don't know, I'm completely free."
"Then how about you come upstairs and sit with me for a bit? I have some things to handle. I'll be done in ten minutes, and then we can call Fatty and Ziming. Us brothers can find a place to eat, and then go get a massage tonight?"
"Sure, I have nowhere else to go later anyway. Let's get together."
"Alright then, let's head up."
The two entered the office building by the road and took the elevator up to the 20th floor.
Arriving at Meng Wenzhou's oversized office, Su Yang sat in the reception area drinking tea, while Meng Wenzhou went to his computer to handle business.
Soon, Meng Wenzhou finished the tasks at hand and came over to drink tea with Su Yang.
The two chatted until 5:30 PM, then Su Yang dialed Liu Bo's number.
The phone rang a few times before connecting.
"Hello, Brother Yang, what's up?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm in the car. I just finished handling some things with a friend and I'm on my way home."
"A boyfriend or a girlfriend?" Su Yang laughed.
"A boy... Brother Yang, you're digging a hole for me, aren't you? What boyfriend, it's a male friend."
"Haha, don't go home. Come to Old Meng's company, the one on Yunxi Road."
"Why? Are you at Brother Meng's place?"
"Yeah, I came over earlier to handle some business with him and transfer money."
"Oh, oh, the racetrack thing, right?"
"Right. You guys hurry up too. Get the money ready and transfer it all to him so we can quickly take over the racetrack."
"I know, I know. I was originally planning to do it today, but something came up at the last minute so I couldn't go. Tomorrow, Lao Zhang, Old Chu, and I will go handle it together."
"Alright, then come over now. We'll find a place to eat in a bit."
"Got it, I'll be right there."
Hanging up the phone, Su Yang looked over at Meng Wenzhou.
He was also on the phone with Zhang Ziming. After waiting a minute, Meng Wenzhou finished the call and laughed, "This guy."
"What's wrong?"
"He said Yixue is back, so they're going to spend some alone time together later. He's not eating with us."
"Alright, alright, then we'll leave him be. What about Xiao Ji and Old Chu?"
"That guy Xiao Ji just messes around outside with his friends all day. Who knows where he's running wild right now. Let's ignore him. Old Chu went back to Hangzhou, he'll be here tomorrow."
"Alright then, it's just the three of us."
Half an hour later, Liu Bo arrived downstairs at the company.
Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou took the elevator down to meet him.
In the basement level one parking lot, Liu Bo was leaning against his Maybach GLS600, smoking.
The two quickly walked up to him, and Liu Bo immediately took out cigarettes and handed them out.
"Oh my, my two good brothers, long time no see! I missed you to death!"
The two rolled their eyes at him, took the cigarettes, and laughed. "What do you want to eat later?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that? Whatever you want to eat, I'll arrange it."
"Eat... Oh, right, a pretty good new seafood buffet opened over on Qinghe Road. I have friends who went there and said it's not bad. How about we go eat there?" Meng Wenzhou smiled.
"Sure, let's go. Why don't you guys leave your cars and ride with me?" Liu Bo looked at the two of them and said.
"Alright, I'll ride with you." Meng Wenzhou pulled open the passenger door.
"I'll drive myself, otherwise I'll have to come back and get my car tomorrow. It's too troublesome," Su Yang laughed.
"Alright then, let's go. Brother Yang, do you know the address?"
"I know it."
"Then let's go."

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
