Chang Fan had obviously also watched the program his son was currently recording. He pointed at Zhuang Li and said in astonishment, "Aren't you the—"

Before he could finish his words, he immediately revealed a bright smile, grabbed Zhuang Li's hand and shook it vigorously: "Young people are to be feared, young people are to be feared! Look, this is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. My Jinbo is really causing you trouble."

Chang Jinbo: "..." He was completely confused, his head was buzzing, and in a trance, he recalled everything Zhuang Li said on the show one by one.

"Chang Jinbo is not worthy of me", "I don't value material things", "I don't think many people are richer than me", these words that were once denounced as ridiculous by audiences across the country are actually all true!

Then, Chang Jinbo recalled Zhuang Li's remarks. He had said he wanted to abandon all material things and find someone he loved purely for love's sake. He just wanted a simple answer like that.

That's why Han Kun didn't know his identity; that's why he took it for granted that those luxury goods didn't need to be returned; that's why he said that no one owed anyone anything in this relationship.

He really didn't owe anyone anything.

Chang Jinbo stared at Zhuang Li without blinking, his eyes brimming with pain. At that moment, he felt a mixture of emotions. For the first time in his life, he felt so foolish.

Why is it that Wan Anni can sense the true Zhuang Li, and Xi Ming can believe in Zhuang Li without reservation, while he insists on being obsessed with the outside world's evaluation? Can't he open his own eyes and take a good look at the world?

Chang Jinbo opened his mouth and wanted to say hello, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhuang Li smiled gracefully, "Mr. Chang, you're too polite. Jinbo and I are friends. It's not a problem. It's just a small misunderstanding that has been resolved long ago." He then held Xi Ming's hand and whispered softly, "I'll explain it to you when we get back."

Xi Ming immediately suppressed his surprise and put on a polite smile.

Chang Fan laughed and joked with Zhuang Li, but inside he was fuming with anger. Chang Jinbo, that little bastard, had already lost such a good blind date. He was such a hopeless case!

Chang Jinbo felt his father's disappointed look, and his heart ached.

Chang Fan's purpose of asking Zhuang Li out was very simple. One was to fulfill his son's racing dream, and the other was to reach a cooperation with Zhuang Li in the financial field.

The two of them got along very well, and Lawyer Ou could occasionally interject a few words, while the two racing drivers, Chang Jinbo and Xi Ming, could only be wallflowers because they didn't understand a word.

Just at this moment, Yi Jiangnan came uninvited and brought a heavyweight figure with him.

This man often appeared in financial news and managed the country's foreign exchange reserves, truly a powerful position. The group could only move to a private room for a private conversation. As for what was discussed, Chang Jinbo and Xi Ming, two marginal figures, were not qualified to hear.

The two sat in the private room next door, looking at each other.

Out of boredom, they took out their phones and started watching the live broadcast of the third episode, and then they understood everything.

The hundreds of thousands of fans Xi Ming had lost were now all back, and they all sent joyful congratulatory messages: [Congratulations, brother, on marrying into a wealthy family!]

Xi Ming: “…” What the hell is marrying into a wealthy family?

Someone else asked worriedly, "Brother, many people say you're a marriage fraud. Do you even know that Zhuang Li is Mr. Zhuang? You're really not going after his money, are you?"

Xi Ming: “…” I just found out about this too, and I’m afraid you won’t believe me if I tell you.

Someone even asked curiously: "Brother, when you found out that Zhuang Li was Mr. Zhuang, were you surprised?"

Xi Ming: "..." I was just a little surprised, not ecstatic. Who Zhuang Li is doesn't matter to me, what matters is who he belongs to.

But he didn't say these words on the Internet. He had to wait for Curly to come out and discuss it together before responding. After all, he is a married man now, and there are some things he can't decide on his own.

Chang Jinbo suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Are you married to Zhuang Li?"

His expression was as if he had seen a ghost, and his eyes were tearful.

Xi Ming raised his chin proudly: "Yes, I will send you an invitation when the wedding is held. The venue has been decided. It is at Green Lake Castle."

Chang Jinbo's eyes gradually turned red. He thought he still had a chance, but the moment he learned that Zhuang Li was Mr. Zhuang, his heart began to sink. He suddenly realized why Zhuang Li had to hide his identity.

Isn't it someone like Xi Ming that Zhuang Li has been searching for? Someone who can see his true self and protect it no matter the circumstances. A hero who is willing to stand up for him.

But he had completely lost the opportunity the moment he called Han Kun and said he wanted to take revenge on him.

I cannot see the truth, nor can I protect it.

Chang Jinbo never had the chance to say the words "I like you" that had been brewing in his heart.

Facing Xi Ming's victorious smile, he lowered his head in embarrassment, tears falling silently.

At this very moment, an unfamiliar number began to ring like a death knell. If he didn't pick up, it would keep ringing, ringing, ringing until it gave him a headache.

Chang Jinbo had no choice but to leave the room and went to the stairwell, saying in a harsh tone, "Who is it?"

"Jinbo, it's me, Han Kun. Did you block me?" Han Kun's voice came in a hurry.

Chang Jinbo's face turned from pale to pitch black. How could this culprit have the nerve to make a phone call?

"Didn't I break up with you? Don't call me anymore. I get annoyed just by hearing your voice!" He warned in a harsh tone and prepared to hang up.

Han Kun shouted anxiously, "Jinbo, don't send those gifts. I don't want them. I'm on my way to the airport right now. Can you pick me up after you buy a ticket? You're my only friend in China."

Chang Jinbo realized something and asked incredulously, "You don't want to come back to find Zhuang Li, do you?"

Han Kun didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Chang Jinbo sneered, "Why, do you regret it? Knowing that Zhuang Li is so rich, you want to come back and be with that rich man? Wake up, Zhuang Li is already married, he can't be with you. He will never forget what you did to him and what you said to him."

Han Kun said unyieldingly, "He really loves me. He married Xi Ming just to forget me. If I'm willing to come back, he'll forgive me."

When Chang Jinbo heard these shameless words, he almost vomited on the spot.

"Come back, I can't control you. But you have to know that you are just a poor bastard now. There is a huge gap between you and Zhuang Li. Without someone to help you smooth things over, you can't even touch the corner of his clothes." Chang Jinbo retorted viciously: "You are nothing now!"

Then he hung up the phone and blocked the strange number.

After calming down, Chang Jinbo opened Weibo, browsed Zhuang Li's webpage, and then let out a sarcastic chuckle.

The Weibo post "No one owes anyone anything" that was initially forwarded by only a few people has now been forwarded to an astonishing number of times, and the internet is flooded with voices of "I believe in you."

So that's how public opinion works - the higher you stand, the louder your voice will be; if you stand short, no one will hear you even if you shout at the top of your lungs.

Chang Jinbo covered his sore eyes and cursed in a low voice: "Chang Jinbo, you idiot."

Just when he was about to cry out in pain, a Weibo post that was on the hot search list caught his attention.

The person who posted the Weibo post was Max, a man who could single-handedly destroy the financial system of a small or medium-sized country. He tagged Zhuang Li's account and left a message: "Mr. Zhuang, I hope we can meet in the island city."

Who doesn't know that Max is planning to sell off the island city? Is he declaring war?

Chang Jinbo's heart raced for a moment before he finally realized why Yi Jiangnan and that important figure had come to see Zhuang Li. They were preparing for the battle of Island City!

The brutality of financial warfare is no less than that of real-world warfare. If Zhuang Li wins, he will become famous; if he loses, he will be ruined.

This is a life-and-death duel!

Chang Jinbo's heart was pounding, and he quickly ran to the private room with his phone in hand. He hoped Zhuang Li would not take on this task. This matter had nothing to do with Zhuang Li, and he could completely avoid it.

However, just as he ran to the door, Zhuang Li's reply had already been posted: [Born at the right time, I take on the responsibility without hesitation.]

This is his attitude and his tone. This sentence is too "solemn and reasonable".

After figuring out the whole story, netizens gave him lots of thumbs up.

So, clearly, she was fully aware of the radiance and charm that Zhuang Li exuded all the time, so why couldn't she just look him in the face and face her own heart? Chang Jinbo, who had opened the door, was no longer panicking, but had an extremely sad expression on his face.

He once again realized how much of a good person he had missed.

At the same time, the door of the private room next door opened. Zhuang Li shook hands with the important man at the door with a relaxed smile.

Yi Jiangnan complimented, "With you as our brain, we are sure to win."

Business giants like Chang Fan could only stand aside and smile.

The three groups of people quickly separated.

Chang Fan tapped his son's nose with his finger, a look written all over his face: "I'm going to give you a good beating tonight!"

Chang Jinbo looked at Zhuang Li reluctantly for a long time before catching up with his father.

Yi Jiangnan said gently, "I haven't drunk any alcohol. I'll drive. I think you two have a lot to talk about, right?"

"Thank you for your help." Zhuang Li held Xi Ming's hand.

Xi Ming also held his hand tightly.

Obviously, the identity revelation did not affect their relationship.

After getting into the car, Zhuang Li handed a folder to Xi Ming and said with a chuckle, "Open it and take a look."

When Xi Ming opened it, he was stunned to see the words "MAX Club Transfer Agreement" written on the cover of the folder.

"Are you really giving me the club?" He took a deep breath.

Zhuang Li nodded and asked seriously, "Do you dare to accept it? Are you afraid that others will say you're a gigolo?"

Xi Ming clasped Curly's hand, smiled and shook his head: "If you dare to give it to me, why shouldn't I dare to accept it? No matter what others say, the most important thing is that we are together well."

Zhuang Li kissed the back of Xi Ming's hand, his eyes full of tenderness.

Xi Ming immediately added: "Rather than eating gigolo, I'd rather eat spicy hot pot."

Zhuang Li couldn't help laughing and promised solemnly: "I'll give you spicy hot pot when we get to the island city tomorrow morning."

Xi Ming finally smiled contentedly.

Yi Jiangnan, who was driving in the front seat, advised: "Mr. Zhuang, there is no authentic spicy hot pot in the island city. If you want to eat it, I can take you to a Sichuan restaurant right now. The road is a bit remote, but the taste is really good."

Zhuang Li and Xi Ming: "..."

7480: "Hahahahahaha!"

After laughing, 7480 took credit for it, saying, "Master, I've already posted all the photos of Han Kun's mischief online. You don't have to do it yourself. I'll help you guide public opinion and expose him!"
