He had always been puzzled. Last night, he was with Yang Zi, and Mu Bai unexpectedly walked in on them. This gave Lin Chuan a shock of all shocks. But upon reflection, he did seem to have gone too far. Regardless, he was someone with a girlfriend, yet he had hooked up with a widow, which was admittedly inappropriate. Thinking it over, Lin Chuan decided to not bother Yang Zi anymore.

Just as he had made this decision, his phone rang—it was Yang Zi calling.

Beep beep beep...

The ringtone woke Lin Chuan from his thoughts.

"Hello," Lin Chuan answered the phone.

"Lin Chuan, where are you?" Yang Zi's voice was soft, as if she had just woken up. After last night's multiple rounds, she indeed felt exhausted and weak. No wonder she slept in so late.

"Oh, I'm at the office," Lin Chuan replied, then asked, "What's up?"

"I miss you." Yang Zi bit her red lip and shyly said, "I haven't had breakfast yet, could... could you bring me some?"

"You can order breakfast by phone." Lin Chuan laughed, "Or I could order it for you, and have it delivered to you."

"No!" Yang Zi immediately refused, pouting, "I want you to bring it to me."

"I really don't have the time," Lin Chuan immediately declined.

"Are you really not coming?" Yang Zi chuckled, "If you come, I'll help you... blow!"

For a moment, Lin Chuan was almost ready to agree, but fortunately, he slightly firmed up his resolve; he forced himself to calm down. Nevertheless, a terribly dirty image surfaced in his mind. Yang Zi's angelic face, especially those beautiful cherry lips—if she were to blow, that would indeed be a divine pleasure. The very thought, Lin Chuan found unbearable.

"Don't..." Lin Chuan awkwardly said, "Such pleasures, I really can't indulge in them."

"You're really not coming?" Yang Zi sounded a bit angry.

"Really not coming." Lin Chuan hastened to shake his head.

"Hmph!" Yang Zi snorted and then hung up the phone.

Lin Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. If she had persisted, he really didn't know how he would have handled it. Thankfully, she hung up first. Lin Chuan felt quite relieved. However, Yang Zi didn't think so. She believed that Lin Chuan must have been captivated by her body, and by offering such a 'tempting' proposition, she assumed he would soon agree. Thus, she intentionally hung up, thinking Lin Chuan would call back soon.

But unexpectedly, she ended up waiting a whole day, and Lin Chuan showed no signs of wanting to call back.

Lin Chuan hailed a taxi to the transport market.

Lately, a thought had been swirling in his mind, forcing Lin Chuan to seriously consider his options. Given the increasingly complicated international situation, Lin Chuan felt compelled to plan for the future of Jvyi Gang. Jvyi Gang had always been developing in Jiangbei City, which was bound to cross some lines. Even Qin Dalei had moved Qin Gang out of the country early on, hence their strong overseas market today. Whether trafficking drugs or arms, Qin Dalei's wealth was now virtually inexhaustible.

If only aiming for minor skirmishes, domestic development would suffice; but to amass a fortune rivaled by few nations, one must venture abroad to make money. This was the nagging thought Lin Chuan couldn't shake off.

By the time he reached the transport market, it was already past eleven.

It was the peak of the lingering summer heat; everyone sought cooler spots, waiting eagerly for the meal delivery.

Zhou Kai and the others gathered under a cool shed.

"Bro Chuan!" Li Qiang shouted.

"Here!" Lin Chuan jogged over.

Zhou Kai quickly offered Lin Chuan a seat, smiling, "Bro Chuan, join us for a meal."

"Sure." Lin Chuan nodded, "I haven't tried the food here in a long time."

Not long after Lin Chuan sat down, the lunch lady had already brought over the meals.

Over ten pots were laid out on the table, Zhou Kai found a couple of brothers to serve the food. Everyone lined up with their meal boxes, patiently waiting for lunch. Zhou Kai and the others had a separate arrangement. The lady specially prepared several delicate dishes, which were placed inside a room.

Several key figures crowded into the room.

Zhou Kai magically produced a bottle of white liquor from under the table. "At noon, let's all drink a bit, one glass each, no more," he said.

Everyone had slightly more than a half-glass, and after a round, Zhou Kai was left with less than half. He licked the bottle's mouth with his fingertips. Lin Chuan laughingly poured him half a glass, "I'll share some with you."

"Bro Chuan's the best," Zhou Kai chuckled.

"Stop buttering me up," Lin Chuan responded, not amused.

Zhou Kai's face turned awkward; hurriedly, he raised his glass to cover it up, "Come on, brothers, let's drink together."

Everyone raised their glasses in unison.

As they enjoyed their meal and drinks, the atmosphere reached its peak. Lin Chuan cleared his throat and then said, "Brothers, there's something I've been holding in my heart, and I've been wondering whether or not to ask."

Upon hearing this, everyone put down their glasses because they knew Lin Chuan must have something important to say—otherwise, he wouldn't be looking at them with such a solemn, serious tone. They immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Brother Chuan, just speak your mind," Zhou Kai said.

"Yeah, just ask whatever you need, we're all brothers here. What can't we discuss?" Lu Dapao interjected.

"Right, just ask whatever questions you have," everyone said in agreement.

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "It's not a particularly big issue, I just want to ask you all, do you want to live an ordinary life, or do you want to make a mark and go out with a bang in this short lifespan?"

"Of course we want to make a mark," Zhou Kai banged the table.

"Better to be a hero than a nobody," everyone chimed in.

"Good," Lin Chuan nodded, "Lately, I've had a very good idea. It's about taking our brothers beyond national borders, taking our spirit and momentum international. Taking our business and our industries international. We Chinese, should earn foreigners' money."

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stupefied.

In fact, reaching their current point was already more than satisfying for them; they had never thought about stepping beyond China or earning money from foreigners. As it stands, the Sichuan University Group was already providing them with enough wealth and material satisfaction.

"Brother Chuan, we... we are already rich enough," Zhou Kai chuckled.

"How much money can you make in a month?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Over fifty thousand," Zhou Kai smiled, his income placing him well within Jiangbei City's upper echelon—nowadays, Zhou Kai could walk with his head held high. However, this income seemed rather insignificant in front of Lin Chuan.

"What if I tell you that one day you could earn five million a month, what would you think?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Five million?!" Zhou Kai was flabbergasted, "My god, wouldn't that mean I could buy a luxury car every month? With such a high income, I… I could buy a Lamborghini anytime I want?"

"Exactly," Lin Chuan nodded, "Brothers, are you interested in going abroad to earn US Dollars, Euros, and Pounds? That's what true capability is."

Zhou Kai blinked, looking at his brothers.

Lu Dapao rubbed his eyes, feeling as if he was dreaming.

"Brother Chuan, we... we don't know English," Liu Cheng said awkwardly.

"You don't need to," Lin Chuan chuckled.

"Err…" Liu Cheng inquired, "How can we communicate without knowing English?"

"There will always be a way," Lin Chuan chuckled, "In this world, there are always more solutions than problems, right?"

The restaurant went completely silent.

Zhou Kai said, "I need to think this over well. After all, going abroad is big, and I don't know if my girlfriend would agree."

"Think what the heck, I am going!" Lu Dapao was the first to stand up.

"I am going too," Liu Cheng quickly stood up.

In China, Liu Cheng didn't have the advantage of timing; this time, intending to go abroad, he was determined to be at the forefront and refused to fall behind. While he didn't achieve the position of Hall Master at home, this time, he said he must secure a Hall Master position abroad.

"Brother Chuan, take me with you!" Li Qiang said hastily.

"Take me with you!" everyone was visibly excited.

Seeing the crowd so enthusiastic, Lin Chuan felt immensely gratified that they were not afraid or evasive. He looked at them approvingly and then said, "Not bad, you all are brave. However, I'll give you a few days to think it over thoroughly, and then give me your final answer. After that, we'll be heading overseas to make money from foreigners."

"Okay!" everyone nodded in agreement.

After finishing the lunch, Lin Chuan left the transport market.

As soon as Lin Chuan left, the transport market burst into an uproar.

"Kai, why aren't you going with us?" Li Qiang asked curiously.

"Who said I'm not going?" Zhou Kai glared at them, then said, "I'm just considering and hesitating. What nonsense are you talking about? I just need to discuss it with my girlfriend. See what she says!"

"Why would women have a say in men's affairs, really," Li Qiang responded irritably.

Zhou Kai felt embarrassed, he glared at Li Qiang and said, "Stinky boy, you'll understand naturally when you have a girlfriend in the future."

Ha ha…

The crowd burst into loud laughter. Zhou Kai's face turned even redder as he glared at the group, saying, "What are you laughing at? A bunch of heartless creatures, really."
