Chapter 20 The Conversation On Phone

"Sincere congratulations to you, my brother! It is the greatest news I've received."

Liu La said with full excitement.

Liu Yong felt relieved as he saw his sister's belief and happiness, and he no longer had to go through the trouble of explaining the source of the large sum of money.

"I will call our parents and share the news with them. It will make them very happy, especially Dad, who is getting old and shouldn't be working on the construction site anymore."

Liu Lan said.

Liu Yong nodded in agreement.

It would be more convenient for Liu Lan to make the call instead of Liu Yong, as it would save him from the trouble of explaining the situation.

"I would just like to remind you to advise our parents not to announce the news to the entire village, as it may not be in our best interest to have the whole community aware of our financial situation."

Liu Yong reminded her.

"I understand this," replied Liu Lan, acknowledging her brother's reminder.

After ten minutes, Liu Yong arrived at the Hetang Moonlight Restaurant, an upscale dining establishment renowned for its delectable Western cuisine.

With its luxurious ambiance and exquisite culinary offerings, the restaurant gained a reputation as a go-to destination for discerning food enthusiasts.

Filled with financial resources and a self-assured demeanor, Liu Yong confidently ushered himself and his companions into the Hetang Moonlight Restaurant and placed a generous order without hesitation.

His financial security and confidence in his decision-making abilities allowed him to make selections without feeling any undue pressure or stress.

As an illustration of his lavish spending, Liu Yong ordered a succulent steak that cost upwards of two hundred yuan, a decadent dessert priced at several hundred yuan, appetizing soup as an appetizer priced at more than one hundred yuan, and a cup of coffee costing tens of yuan.

This meal was not only the most extravagant but also the most memorable one that Liu Lan had ever experienced in her lifetime. Wu Hui, who hailed from Zhanguang, shared the same sentiment, declaring it the finest meal she had ever tasted.

With their appetites fully satisfied after the sumptuous feast, Liu Yong chauffeured his companions to the school gate, bidding them farewell after a memorable evening.

The ride was smooth and comfortable, allowing them to relax and reflect on the delightful culinary adventure they had just experienced. As they approached the school gate, Liu Yong ensured safety dropped off before bidding them a warm goodbye.

As they bid each other farewell, Liu Lan turned to Liu Yong and addressed him affectionately,

"Brother, thank you for treating me to such an amazing meal."

Grateful for the experience, she expressed her heartfelt appreciation to him, acknowledging his generosity and thoughtfulness.

In response to Liu Lan's expression of gratitude, Liu Yong dismissed her formality with a casual remark,

"Don't be so polite and just let me know if you need money. No need to hold back."

"Okay, brother Yong," replied Liu Lan.

Liu Yong drove away, and Liu Lan and Wu Hui walked toward the school. As they parted ways, and not long into their journey, Wu Hui abruptly interjected with a query,

"Liu Lan, would you happen to have your brother's WeChat account?"

Upon hearing Wu Hui's unexpected request for Liu Yong's WeChat account, Liu Lan was initially caught off guard but quickly regained her composure and responded with a lighthearted comment,

"Well, Wu Hui, I thought I treated you as my best friend, but it seems like you have your sights set on being my sister-in-law."



The exchange between Liu Lan and Wu Hui took on a playful tone as the two friends engaged in good-natured banter. Liu Lan responded to Wu Hui's request for her brother's WeChat account with a playful remark,

"Oh, so you're interested in my brother's money, huh? Just tell me straight up!"

In response to Liu Lan's teasing remark, Wu Hui replied smiling,

"No, no, I'm not interested in his money. I think your brother is handsome."

"I don't believe you. You must be interested, as my brother is rich!"

Liu Lan said teasingly.

"Don't tickle me. I can't stand it. Let me go. I don't want your brother WeChat anymore."

"Are you sure you don't want it?"

"I really don't want it anymore."

After their exchange, Liu Lan and Wu Hui continued to walk together, enjoying each other's company. Suddenly, Wu Hui posed a question that caught Liu Lan off guard.

"Liu Lan, does your brother have a girlfriend?"

"Okay, you Wu Hui, you really have a wicked heart, I can't spare you."

Liu Lan replied.

The two of them happily fought back to the dormitory.

Liu Yong received a call from his father.

"Xiaoyong, you won the big prize, more than ten million!"

Liu Yong felt a mixture of surprise and joy hearing the voice on the other end of the line. The voice is strange but familiar, causing him to feel a rush of emotions. He has taken a deep breath to calm himself before responding,

"Yes, I won the first prize twice."

At this time, there can only be one white lie. In an instant, Liu Hongfu's tone became visibly agitated,

"It turns out that Liu Lan didn't lie to me. It's true. Our old Liu family has completely turned around."

Liu Yong replied.

"Xiaoyong, take good care of the money yourself. Huahai City is a big city with high consumption. Your mother and I hope you can settle down there."

"You are not young, you are almost 24 years old, buy a house, find a girlfriend earlier..."

Liu Hongfu talked a lot and encouraged him a lot.

Liu Yong said:

"Dad, I understand, you don't have to go to the construction site, you can enjoy some blessings at home, I will remit 500,000 to you tomorrow, and our house should also be repaired."

Liu Hongfu's response was a pleasant surprise to Liu Yong, as it differed from the expectations of other parents who typically ask for money and express a desire to keep it.

Instead, Liu Hongfu told Liu Yong that he could use the money and use it as he saw fit, without any strings attached. He didn't ask for money, Liu Yong's favorability for him soared, and he took the initiative to spend 500,000 yuan to buy new and old houses.

Liu Hongfu said: "The house at home is not in a hurry, you can buy a house in Huahai City first."





Father and son talked on the phone for more than ten minutes. After hanging up the phone, Liu Yong thought he had to consider buying a house.

Living in a rental house is a short-term solution, and the environment worsens.

After purchasing a car, there remain less than five million yuan, which is insufficient to acquire a house in Huahai City.

Liu Yong has yet to make plans to purchase a house with a loan. It is tedious that acquiring a loan would prove challenging. Issuing another loan is deemed the most viable option.

Overlord has transitioned to a new environment, and it's now an opportune time to explore and search the surroundings.

"Who knows what surprising discoveries are there?"

Liu Yong thought in his mind.

The sea is known to have endless treasures. You can't look blindly. The sea is too big and boundless.

Liu Yong's task is to gather information about shipwrecks filled with treasures. Even if they do not contain gold and silver, a few porcelain artifacts could still be valuable and fetch a high price.

During the past few days, Liu Yong had focused on searching for information related to ancient shipwrecks.

Overlord has been living a comfortable life on this island surrounded by bountiful resources. The sea provides an abundant supply of meat and vegetables, leaving no shortage of sustenance.

If a turtle wants to eat meat, there are all kinds of fish, shrimp, shellfish, and giant crabs.

If it wants to be vegetarian, there are all kinds of algae. It can eat a little vegetarian if it's tired of eating meat.

Bawang felt a pang of hunger and stepped out of the cave where he had been resting in search of food. The natural sense of danger caused much small fish and shrimp to avoid it, and some even ran far away at once.

Overlord seemed satisfied with the situation and swam forward with ease.

"Well, I am the boss here, you all get out of my way."

The turtle warns the other creatures.

It is already tens of nautical miles away from the mainland, and the sea water is no longer yellow and turbid. The sun shone down from the sea, casting beautiful beams of light.

With the gentle flow of seawater, the seaweed gently sways, and the beautiful reefs and the fish that appear from time to time make the scenery of the seabed so beautiful.

Bawang, weighing more than 200 kilograms, swims slowly as if not interested in admiring the beauty of the seabed but looking for a target.

Those small fish and shrimps are not in its recipe, this is not ink lake, but the vast sea, Bawang's recipe has changed accordingly.

One day, Overlord spotted a big fish measuring over one meter in length. Overlord swiftly swam over to catch the fish for a satisfying meal.

It's just that the big fish was very clever and disappeared without a trace.

"Hmph, you're running fast!"

Bawang said.

Bawang is encouraged because there is a lot of fish in the sea.

"Hey, that thing is good and delicious."

Overlord saw two long shrimp whiskers and knew it was a lobster hiding in the sand on the seabed.

The turtle ate a lobster yesterday. Bawang thought it was delicious, knowing there was a lobster hidden. Bawang quickly rushed over without hesitation.

Bawang Picked lobster from the sand in one bite and ate it with big mouthfuls.

"The taste is really good, crunchy!"

The turtle said to himself.

Overlord devoured three or four cattie of lobsters in just a few bites, feeling only slightly satisfied but still hungry. Suddenly, Overlord spotted another big fish in the distance!
