"Do I look like a person who breaks his word?... Don't worry, I've really had my fill of playing around. I've finally met a woman I have feelings for, and I'll definitely cherish her."

I nodded and didn't say anything more...

Tie Nan looked at me expectantly and said, "Once Tao Zi arrives, our inn will be all set... Instructor Ma and Tao Zi will run the small bar, we two will be in charge of the inn's daily operations, Si Si will be at the front desk, and Bai Lu will handle things that require networking..."

After a brief pause, Tie Nan said to me again, full of emotion, "Michael, really, we all came together by fate. It's less like starting a business together and more like a family building a life together... I've been living a life of leisure in Dali for so long, and this is the first time I've had so much confidence in something! This confidence comes from you guys, and also from Taozi!"

Looking at Tie Nan, and recalling the people he had mentioned, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

What kind of personnel structure is this?

Yang Sisi is a true heiress; Coach Ma is a former convict; I was once an ordinary office worker; Bai Lu is the daughter of a government official; Taozi is a young lady; and Tie Nan comes from a single-parent family with a history of grudges and entanglements…

It seems that we, a few people, encompass all aspects of society. If placed in a normal social system, we would be a group of people who would never cross paths, but there is this inn called "Waiting for You Amidst the Romantic Scenery" that has brought us together.

I believe this is a special kind of fate.

This made me think of Old Mi again. How could I tell him that in such a place, there was a group of people who, like me, chose to take a gamble and stake their entire lives on this inn that was about to set sail?

I also want to tell Lao Mi: I am not special, what is special is this place; it is this place that attracted me and gave me the motivation to choose a completely different life; I have the ability and confidence to build a home here, with this group of special people, that may be ideal, or perhaps more realistic than in Shanghai.
