Chapter 293 Investment

“You’ve been smart since you were little. Even though you’re not in good health, the black market you led us in has made us a lot of money. I believe you will definitely do it again. This is my investment. If we lose, it’s on me. If we make money, we’ll split it equally.”

Upon hearing Liang Jiu's words, Dai Xingyun smiled slightly, after all, he also wanted to build his own career.

He readily agreed, "Alright! I'll accept the money. As long as our country's policies loosen up, I will definitely seize the opportunity. At that time, I will definitely lead all my brothers to get rich together!"

After saying that, Dai Xingyun glanced at the several bankbooks placed in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that everyone had planned and prepared for this matter long ago.

The amount on each passbook was quite considerable; a rough calculation showed that each person had given him six thousand yuan.

At this moment, the program staff saw that Dai Xingyun was staring at the passbook in a deep thought, and quickly comforted him, "Xingyun, don't think too much about it. You earned all this money because of your quick thinking and strategic planning."

"Even if the business suffers losses in the future, it's not a big deal. So, don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a shout came from the side: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you guys, you're really not being fair!"

"How could you leave me out of such an important matter! No, no, I have to get involved too!" It turned out that Xiahou Jie was stamping his feet anxiously.

Seeing this, Liang Jiu laughed and quickly explained, "Oh, Xiahou, look at your impatient nature! How could we forget about you?"

Although you and Xingyun both went to the countryside for training, we've been saving your share for you.

"Here, there's a separate 6,000 yuan, specifically for you to invest with us."

"And this other two thousand or so is for your daily expenses. How about that, are you satisfied now?"

As Zhang Chi spoke, he slowly reached into his pocket.

He carefully pulled out four slightly worn-out savings books.

He then handed the passbooks to Dai Xingyun and solemnly said, "The money stored in these belongs to both of you!"

Upon seeing this, Dai Xingyun quickly waved his hand and shook his head, indicating that he resolutely refused to accept the money.

"This is all money you've worked so hard to save up over the years in Kyoto. How could we possibly accept it? Absolutely not!"

Despite Dai Xingyun's refusal, Zhang Chi remained remarkably stubborn.

He widened his eyes and replied decisively, "You have to take it! If you don't accept this money today, then we brothers will never associate again!"

Seeing this, Dai Xingyun couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Then, he looked at Xiahou Jie, who had been silent beside him, as if seeking some support.

Xiahou Jie said nothing, just watched quietly, lost in thought.

The program interface said, "Old Zhang is right. You were the one who built this money-making route before, and you also put in a lot of effort to organize and establish that black market."

"Although you later went to the countryside for some reason, it can be said that everything was ready and just waiting for us to take over the operation."

In comparison, all we did was help look after things, and now we're supposed to share the income with you? We're the ones who are getting the better deal.

And so, the three of them argued back and forth.

Ultimately, after much hesitation and persuasion from Zhang Chi and Liang Jiu, Dai Xingyun finally gave in, thanks to Zhang Chi's insistence and the encouragement of Liang Jiu and others.

He took the passbooks with slightly trembling hands, took a deep breath, and as if he had made up his mind, earnestly said to Zhang Chi.

"Alright, in that case, I'll accept these bankbooks for now. But don't worry, I'll keep working hard and strive to earn even more wealth than I have now. I definitely won't let you brothers down!"

After saying that, he carefully put the several bankbooks away.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again, like a bonfire that had been lit.

People laughed and chatted, clinking glasses and enjoying the pleasure brought by the delicious food and wine.

Even the usually reserved Dai Xingyun seemed to be infected by the joyful atmosphere, and unknowingly drank several glasses of wine.

Just then, Liang Jiu suddenly recalled the scene when Xiahou Jie mentioned "Xiao Xiao" earlier.

A strong sense of curiosity welled up in his heart, so he asked Dai Xingyun, "Xingyun, who exactly is that Xiaoxiao?" His words were full of doubt.

Dai Xingyun slightly raised his head, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, and softly replied, "She is my girlfriend." Those simple words seemed to contain boundless affection.

Upon hearing this, Liang Jiu and the others were all astonished and asked in unison, "What? You actually found a partner?"

They could hardly believe that Dai Xingyun, who was usually quiet and reserved, was the first among them to have a partner.

Faced with the surprised questions from the crowd, Dai Xingyun simply responded with a faint "hmm," maintaining his usual taciturn nature.

"Is she also from Kyoto? Where is she now? When can we meet her?" Liang Jiu asked curiously!

Whenever Dai Xingyun talks about Shen Xiaoxiao, he becomes very gentle. "She is a girl from the place where I was sent to work in the countryside. Her family was very kind to Xiahou and me."

"And my parents know about her. She will be studying at Kyoto University next year. I will introduce you to her then."

The brothers had never heard such a long sentence from him before; it was the first time, and in such a gentle tone.

Time slipped away quietly in the joyful atmosphere, and by the time the group finally ended the party and returned home, the clock had already struck past 11 p.m.

The Dai Zhan couple sat quietly on the sofa in the spacious and bright living room, waiting for their son to return.

A faint car sound reached their ears, and Dai Zhan and his wife immediately stood up and hurried towards the door.

As the gate slowly opened, they saw Dai Xingyun taking pieces of luggage out of the car trunk.

Upon seeing this, the couple rushed over to help, taking the luggage while complaining with concern, "Why are you back so late? You reek of alcohol; you must have had quite a bit to drink."

Although her tone carried a hint of reproach, it was mostly filled with love and concern for her son.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back!" Dai Xingyun greeted happily.

"Why are you so late coming back?" Dai Zhan muttered to himself.

Dai Xingyun overheard this and quickly explained, "Ninth Brother and the others came to the station to pick us up and even hosted a banquet to welcome us back."
