Yang Chaoming spoke of his younger brother with a mixture of pride and worry. It wasn't some kind of Versailles.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette and sighed to Lu Fan:

“My younger brother has made something of himself, which is definitely a good thing, but now he’s making a fuss about coming back, and it’s giving me a real headache.”

In Yang Chaoming's view, what's the point of coming back? Both of his elderly parents are gone, and the house and land have been sold.

Isn't it better to stay abroad? His future is much brighter than his brother's.

Because his parents were gone, Yang Chaoming felt an even greater responsibility as a parent towards his younger brother.

He was afraid that this kid, for some pitiful thought, for some vague and ethereal idea of ​​returning to one's roots, would actually run back and live a bachelor's life with his older brother.

"After thinking it over and over, the only place I think might be able to take in this brat."

Lu Fan listened to Yang Chaoming's words, which were tinged with a hint of pride amidst his predicament. He couldn't help but wonder what "heavenly law" Yang Chaolang had broken that his brother was forcing him to be escorted to his company.

Yang Chaoming sighed and began to explain.

It turns out that Yang Chaolang studied computer algorithm programming in college, and even received an invitation from a well-known large company in the United States during his college years.

Yang Chaoming shook his head, seemingly puzzled by his younger brother Yang Chaolang's choice:

"My parents were still alive at the time, but the doctor gave a diagnosis that they could treat the disease but not guarantee the baby's survival, and the amount of money they would have to spend was astronomical!"

"It just so happened that someone from that power engineering company approached Chaolang, saying they were impressed by a paper he published during his graduate studies and wanted to sign him to intern in their company's lab."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan thought to himself, "If this is true, then that would be a great thing!"

"What, Chaolang didn't agree?"

Yang Chaoming continued to shake his head: "No way. He agreed at first and even went to do the internship, but my parents got sick after only two months, so the kid had to take leave."

"Then, since they were pressing him for a while, he simply resigned."

Lu Fan was initially surprised, then something occurred to him: "You just mentioned Chao Lang's thesis, are you going to get back the copyright and the technology derived from it?"

Yang Chaoming had no idea about this and could only shake his head:

"I don't know..."

Lu Fan thought for a moment and asked Yang Chaoming, "You came here this time because it's related to this matter, and you want me to help you investigate?"

Yang Chaoming shook his head again: "No, it's Chaolang. Ever since he came back, this kid has been wanting to start his own business, to set up some kind of mechanical power company."

Yang Chaoming felt that he had talked a lot of nonsense, and only now did he get to the point.

He looked at Lu Fan, somewhat embarrassed:

“I’m a useless older brother. My parents were sent away for treatment but they couldn’t get better, and we’ve spent almost all of our family’s money.”

“My younger brother wants to start his own business, but I’m just starting out with my convenience store and don’t have the money to spare.”

"But it really breaks my heart to see my younger brother begging and pleading with everyone he goes out to get around every day."

That's when I thought of Lu Fan.

The relationship between Yang Chaoming and Lu Fan was that you helped me, I helped you, and later you repaid me. I don't expect to leech off you after you become successful.

That's why they say the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water; Lu Fan and Yang Chaoming are pretty much like that now.

Along the way, Lu Fan felt that he had changed a lot, and the friends around him were no longer the same as before...

However, her friendship with Yang Chaoming remained unchanged despite the trials and tribulations.

He understood Yang Chaoming's meaning and said:

"Chaolang should contact me. Go back and ask him. If he thinks our Fanyue is suitable, bring the documents and proposal over."

Yang Chaoming was initially hesitant to ask Lu Fan for help.

Hearing Lu Fan's words, did he mean he agreed to invest in Yang Chaolang? He was overjoyed.

"Okay, I'll talk to him when I get back. But Lu Fan, if his project isn't suitable, just reject it directly."

"Anyway, it wasn't just one or two companies that declined. I think it might not be because Chaolang has no roots or foundation in China, but because his entrepreneurial direction is wrong."

Yang Chaoming was unaware that his younger brother, Yang Chaolang, had not resigned from the Mechanical Power Company voluntarily; to put it nicely, he had actually been dismissed.

After joining this multinational corporation, in order to earn more money to treat his parents' illnesses and ease his brother's burden, he also took advantage of his position in the company to do some overseas orders.

The company later discovered this, and the other party stripped him of his control over his project and fired him.

After this experience, Yang Chaolang saw through the tricks of these profit-driven capitalists. Coupled with the blow of his parents' death, he chose to return to China to start his own business.

Who knows, he was just young and impetuous. The domestic environment was even more closed off than that abroad, and there wasn't much tolerance for overseas returnees like him.

Soon, Yang Chaolang became increasingly disheartened after encountering setbacks everywhere, and his initial high spirits were long gone.

It wasn't until Yang Chaoming told him, "Go for an interview at Fanyue Group tomorrow."
