"That's good." Lin Chuan took a drag from his cigarette and said, "Brothers, we do not break the law or act out of order, and we definitely don't do bad things. We do it for money, for our brothers, and for righteousness."

"Roar roar roar!" Everyone shouted together.

"Brothers, following Jvyi Gang won't guarantee that we'll get rich, but you definitely won't go hungry with us, and most importantly, we will have a group of trustworthy brothers." Lin Chuan raised his arm and shouted, "With our efforts, we will certainly get rich. When brothers unite, their sharpness can cut through metal."

"When brothers unite, their sharpness can cut through metal!" Zhou Kai shouted.

"When brothers unite! Their sharpness can cut through metal!" Everyone joined in the shouting.

Zhou Rui, hearing the commotion outside, hurriedly ran out of her office and then stood on the balcony. She thought something big had happened, but when she went out, she realized it was just Lin Chuan brainwashing everyone again.

Lin Chuan was like a natural-born speaker. However, Zhou Rui quite admired Lin Chuan.

Any woman would like such a man: a natural-born speaker, always the center of attention, completely dazzling. He inspired immense admiration. Zhou Rui stood on the second-floor balcony, smiling affectionately at Lin Chuan.

Surrounded and idolized by people, Lin Chuan was like a star, accepting his brothers' worship and admiration. Zhou Rui looked at him with a loving gaze from afar, enjoying the feeling, cherishing her affection, silently watching Lin Chuan, undisturbed.

Memories of childhood are after all somewhat pure and naive. When she grew up, Zhou Rui thought Lin Chuan wouldn't be the same as before. But only after returning from abroad did she realize that Lin Chuan was indeed different from before, as he had become even more outstanding. Yang Zi didn't know how excellent Lin Chuan was, but once she found out, she would surely be full of regret.

Zhou Rui's lips curled into a smile. She was very thankful, glad that she alone possessed Lin Chuan. Glad to have his approval. If Yang Zi were in her place, she wouldn't stand a chance anymore.

After walking around the site, Lin Chuan saw that both the sand quarry and transportation market were booming, with over ten transport trucks waiting for sand. The three sand quarries were almost frantically operating, and seven or eight sand dredging boats were busily working on the East River. On the water, more than ten boats were frenziedly dredging sand.

After touring the site, Lin Chuan went to the repair shop.

"Uncle Liu." Lin Chuan approached with a beaming smile.

"Oh, it's you?" Uncle Liu was surprised, and then laughed, "Aren't you supposed to be at work? What are you doing here?"

"Just came to check on you," Lin Chuan said with a smile. "You seem pretty busy, huh?"

"Yeah, I am," Uncle Liu stopped his work and took off his gloves, laughing, "Lin Chuan, I really should thank you."

"Uncle, let's not talk about thanks," Lin Chuan quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "What's our relationship? We've shared life-and-death over a game of chess."

"Haha," Uncle Liu quickly took out a pack of Double Happiness cigarettes from his pocket, "Here, have one."

"Wow, Uncle, you've upgraded?" Lin Chuan said with a teasing smile.

"Hehe, I used to smoke two yuan MeiHua, now I smoke six yuan Double Happiness, that's the upgrade of life," Uncle Liu grinned and laughed.

"Haha!" Lin Chuan burst into laughter.

"In the past, life was always about pleasing others," said Uncle Liu with a smile, "Now it's different, I'm free to buy whatever I want to eat, drink whatever I want, smoke whatever cigarette I want."

"Life should be like this," Lin Chuan nodded in agreement.

Uncle Liang was always busy and chimed in from time to time. The repair shop had grown from just two people to a team of fifteen. The other thirteen were handpicked from within the company, all of whom had some knowledge of mechanics. Learning from the experience of the two veterans, they were quick to get the hang of things. Moreover, Uncle Liu and Uncle Liang spared no effort in passing on their knowledge to them.

After a short stay at the repair shop, Lin Chuan left the transportation market.

"Lin Chuan!"

Just coming out of the repair shop, an old Santana car stopped at the entrance of the transport market, and beside it stood a pretty figure in ripped jeans and a white T-shirt, with a crystal necklace around her neck and short, ear-length hair.

"Mu Bai?" Lin Chuan was taken aback and smiled, "What do you need me for?"

"Of course, I have something," Mu Bai raised an eyebrow, seemingly displeased.

Lin Chuan walked over with a smiling face. Not having seen her for a few days, Mu Bai seemed to have become much prettier, shedding her former youthful immaturity, now with a trace of a young woman's charm on her face. Lin Chuan wondered if it was due to the hardships she faced after resigning or because of that night when he was her first.

"What's the matter?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"There's progress on Hope Primary School," Mu Bai glanced at Lin Chuan, "I consulted with the relevant personnel at the Education Bureau. They immediately agreed when they learned that I wanted to build Hope Primary School and promised to provide support in terms of teaching staff. Also, I've reached out to a few veteran teachers who want to offer their teaching services for free, agreeing to contribute to Hope Primary School."

"Really?" Lin Chuan exclaimed with joy, "That's great news."

"Tonight, I've invited a few veteran teachers for a dinner," Mu Bai looked at Lin Chuan, "Come join us. Anyway, you are the donor, you should at least appear and explain things to them, right?"

"That makes sense," Lin Chuan nodded.

"So... shall we go now?" Mu Bai asked.

"Sure." Lin Chuan nodded without hesitation.

After that, Lin Chuan turned and got into Mu Bai's car. Once inside, Lin Chuan curiously asked, "Mu Bai, where did you get the car from?"

"It's an old car discarded by the TV station," Mu Bai said, "I bought it for five thousand yuan."

"That cheap?" Lin Chuan questioned, surprised, "Why didn't you just buy a new car?"
