On his way to the bank by car, Zhang Yang kept thinking about what Ma Guojun had said. It was undeniable that Zhang Yang's heart was moved.

  Zhang Yang knew that his biggest weakness was being a lone wolf, fighting alone without any reliable power or social status to inherit, and most importantly, no network of relationships. In this society, relying solely on one's own strength is not enough to succeed, even if one can make a lot of money, they would only be considered an overnight sensation. Having a strong social status and a network of subordinates who can be trusted, won't be swayed by just having money, requires building relationships from scratch, starting from nothing.

  So whether it's the greedy Liang Pangzi, the ill-intentioned Meng Fei, the proud Hong Yaqin, or the careless He Linlin, he takes a cautious attitude. Wang Yue once told him that there are no useless people in this world, it just depends on whether you can make good use of them. These people, no matter what, have a deeper foundation than Zhang Yang who started from scratch. The process of interacting with them is a process of mutual utilization, and under such circumstances, one's social circle will gradually expand. Now he looks up to them, but it won't be long before they look up to him.

  Ma Guojun has his own goals and careful thoughts, which is not surprising. Although he is also a person of Feicui Xuan, to some extent, he is also under Xiao Fei's command. However, from now on, it can be seen that he and Duan Fei are not on the same path, and there is a meaning of replacement. So, can this person's ambition be utilized? Offending himself doesn't have this person, he is just a small figure who climbs up for his ambition and is a bit greedy for wealth.

  It's not unexpected that Duan Fei fell into his own trap and won't have another chance to turn things around. From now on, will Peacock Pavilion be controlled by him? By giving up some of the benefits and giving him what he wants, he will bring even greater returns for himself.

  It seems that this person has to think for himself, Ma Guojun is just a small figure, but it's precisely such a small figure who, for his own benefit, doesn't dare do anything. Perhaps when the time comes and he pays enough price, he will even betray Xiao Fei. Zhang Yang doesn't know about Ma Guojun and Duan Fei's discord, not only because of their ambition to climb up the ranks, but also because they have different bosses behind them.

  At the entrance of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, Zhang Yang carried a safe deposit box containing jade into it.

  The lobby manager recognized Zhang Yang, who had tens of millions in his account and frequent remittances coming in these days. As a major customer, the lobby manager remembered him clearly.

  "Mr. Zhang, you've arrived. Is there anything I can do for you?" The lobby manager walked over and asked.

  Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I'll rent a safe deposit box."

  "Please come this way and I'll handle the formalities for you," said the lobby manager.

  Sitting in the VIP room, the lobby manager held Zhang Yang's ID card and quickly completed the formalities. Zhang Yang began to taste the changes brought by wealth. When he was in Jin City, he also handled safe deposit box business, but there was no such treatment.

  As he walked out of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, Zhang Yang couldn't help but think that with just a few tens of millions in deposits, he was already receiving such good service. What if he had hundreds of millions or even billions? Would they proactively come to his doorstep with just one phone call? Thinking further ahead, what if he owned his own company? Would these things still require him to show up in person? Just like how Xiao Fei had let Niu Jin Da handle everything without showing up himself when dealing with Wang Yue.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Yang's ambition grew even bigger.

  On the way home, Zhang Yang was thinking about this matter until he arrived at the community and saw a private restaurant by the road. Zhang Yang's speed slowed down, hesitated for a moment, and then turned the steering wheel to stop the car in front of the restaurant.

  After pushing open the door and walking in, Zhang Yang immediately saw He Linlin sitting at the cash register playing games.

  He Linlin saw Zhang Yang coming, and sneered: "Oh, I thought it was someone else, turns out it's Zhang the big gambler. Don't know how your stone gambling is going, haven't lost everything yet?"

  Zhang Yang furrowed his brow and said, "Where's Hong Yaqin?"

  "Looking for Hong Jie, first get past me. I've never seen anyone like you, Hong Jie is obviously doing it for your own good, but you don't recognize kindness and instead scold Hong Jie. Who do you think you are? I'm shocked, who gave you such a big attitude." He Linlin said.

  Zhang Yang's expression was unpleasant as he said, "This is between us, no need for outsiders to get involved. Is she here?"

  "Not here, even if I were, I wouldn't see you. Zhang, tell him that the deal is off, and in the future, don't even think about coming to eat, the door will be shut." He Lilin said.

  Zhang Yang looked at He Linlin seriously, guessing whether this was her own idea or Hong Yaqin's thought. As for the line of Hong Yaqin, he didn't want to give up like this yet. He agreed to Hong Yaqin's transaction, not just for a few meals, but for his own development. Looking at it now, either Hong Yaqin was absent or hiding from him, neither of which made it necessary to continue talking.

  Moreover, Zhang Yang was confident and had the initiative in his hands. Unless Hong Yaqin and her parents told the truth, she would still look for him. After thinking this through, Zhang Yang said coldly: "Alright, I understand."

  He left the private restaurant without looking back after finishing speaking.

  Zhang Yang's car had just driven away, and Hong Yaqin drove back, got out of the car, and held the car key in her hand, looking at the distant car with a puzzled expression. The license plate number she still remembered was Zhang Yang's car. Looking at this, he came to the store earlier, it's strange that he hasn't eaten yet, why did he leave?

  Hong Yaqin pushed open the door and walked into the store, asking: "Lingling, was that Zhang Yang just now?"

  "He's that annoying guy I scolded away."

  "Has he been scolded away? What did you scold him for?" asked Hong Yaqin.

  He Linlin's mouth was like a machine gun, saying "dada" : "Who made this guy ungrateful? You were good to him and advised him a few words, but he dared to scold you and hung up your phone. This kind of person is the most annoying, with a self-righteous attitude. I told him that the transaction was stopped and he would never be allowed to come again."

  Hong Yaqin's face suddenly turned gloomy, and she coldly said: "Lingling, who told you to say these things! When did my affairs become yours to decide?"

  He Linlin was stunned and didn't understand why Hong Yaqin suddenly got angry.

  "Hong Jie, isn't this helping you vent?" He Linlin said in puzzlement.

  "This is my own business, I have a plan in mind. And that deal was made between him and me, what right do you have to cancel it for me?" Hong Yaqin said angrily.

  She had finally found a suitable person, and just as she was about to deal with her parents, He Linlin created this mess for her. What was she supposed to do? How could she explain it to her parents? Thinking of facing her parents' questioning when she got home made Hong Yaqin's head ache. She furiously threw the car keys on the ground and sat down on a stool, glaring at He Linlin in indignation.

  "Hong Jie, what's wrong with you? Why are you throwing such a big tantrum? I'm doing this for your own good, aren't I?" He Linlin said pitifully.

  Hong Yaqin rubbed her temples and said, "Are you doing this for my own good or causing me more trouble? I had to think of so many ways to get him to agree to the deal. Now that you're making me go back home, how am I supposed to explain it to my parents? Are we breaking up? Or should I just tell them the truth? Lingling, can't you just let me be for a bit?"

  He Linlin suddenly remembered that from start to finish, it was Hong Yaqin who had been asking Zhang Yang for help.

  "I, wasn't I just trying to speak up for you?" Hu Lian's voice grew softer and softer.

  Hong Yaqin hummed and said, "Get out, what are you getting out for? Later I thought about it, Zhang Yang was right, we're just a cooperative relationship, not even friends, what reason do I have to interfere with his personal affairs. Now it's good, the last misunderstanding wasn't cleared up, you've driven him away, what am I supposed to do next?"

  He Linlin is not a brainless person, she just got used to being coquettish and didn't consider other people's thoughts. Upon hearing Hong Yaqin say this, she realized that she had made a big mistake.

  "Sorry, Hong Jie. Otherwise, I'll apologize to him, I'll call him now and apologize!" He Linlin said.

  "Never mind, don't get involved anymore." Hong Yaqin said with a headache.

  It seems that I have to take action myself. Glaring fiercely at He Linlin, Hong Yaqin pushed the door open and drove out to chase Zhang Yang.
