A down-and-out football fan from Brazil, who lost money betting on the World Cup, finds himself transported back in time four years and reborn as a super-rich heir.

Chapter 80 Eat the Flattery
It's really miserable.
Southampton is losing money, WeChat is losing money, and Wangjiang Pavilion is relatively better, and can barely maintain its operations until now. However, the funds invested in the early stage have not been recovered yet, so it cannot be considered profitable.
The only thing that makes money for Yang Huan is this mobile game, which was previously the least noticeable and least valued by Zhang Ning and others.
"Oh, did you really make money?" Yang Baoping asked with a smile.
Yang Wenfeng and the others were also in a very happy mood, and they all couldn't stop smiling.
Zhang Ning felt that Yang Huan making money was a very great thing.
"Hurry up, tell me in detail, how much money did you make?" Yang Baoping asked with a smile.
Zhang Ning calculated in his mind, "We launched the game in August, but the revenue for the whole of September was less than 50,000 pounds. But this is just the beginning. We conservatively estimate that it will reach at least 500,000 in October. According to our profit-sharing agreement with Apple, they get 30%, which is 150,000 pounds, and we get exactly 350,000 pounds."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand pounds?" Yang Wenfeng was a little surprised.
When converted, it is almost RMB 3.5 million, and this is for one month!
Wow, are mobile games really that profitable?
Of course, this is just an estimate and may not be the case, but it may also be more than that.
"This is actually nothing. Some other popular games, like Angry Birds or Plants vs. Zombies, have monthly revenues that are 10 or even dozens of times greater than ours. As we are recommended by the Apple App Store and continue to hold the top spot, I believe our revenue will increase even more significantly."
Yang Huan's mother laughed and said, "Zhang Ning, where did my brat spend all the money he made?"
No one knows a child better than his mother. As a mother, she knows Yang Huan's temper very well.
Although it was only 50,000 pounds.
Zhang Ning was a little embarrassed after hearing this. "In fact, although I have an income of nearly 50,000 pounds, after deducting some taxes and miscellaneous expenses, there is not much left."
Although it is said to be making money, in fact the entire company is still losing money.
So, Zhang Ning raised her head again and glanced at Yang Baoping and Yang Wenfeng. When she was sure that they didn't care about the money and were more concerned about Yang Huan, she felt confident and continued to speak.
"Master Huan just received the money and waved his hand. He gave bonuses to those who wanted them and treated the rest to a meal."
"Treating us to dinner?" Yang Baoping was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Yang Wenfeng couldn't stop smiling.
Even Yang Huan's grandmother and mother were laughing so hard that they fell over.
However, they were not surprised by Yang Huan's behavior, because this was Yang Huan's style in their minds.
Zhang Ning watched them laugh and listened to their genuine laughter which was probably difficult for outsiders to hear. She could deeply feel the heartfelt love and care that these people had for Yang Huan.
Perhaps only those closest to them can see this side of them.
This made Zhang Ning feel flattered, and with the help of Yang Huan's relationship, she was also accepted by them.
After laughing, Yang Baoping said that he had no problem and left it to Yang Wenfeng.
"Zhang Ning." Yang Wenfeng looked at this beautiful girl. If it weren't for her family background and the fact that she had worked as a prostitute in a nightclub before, she would have been a great daughter-in-law. Unfortunately...
When Zhang Ning heard Yang Wenfeng calling her, she immediately listened attentively.
"Since the establishment of WeChat China, its development has been very fast, but Ah Huan is not satisfied with the progress, so I arranged for you to take over temporarily. I have seen your academic qualifications and your performance in the UK. I believe in Ah Huan's vision."
"In a word, when you go there, do it with confidence and courage. Give people and money when you need them. Don't worry."
"Thank you, Mr. Yang!" Zhang Ning nodded heavily.
With Yang Wenfeng's guarantee, she became more confident.
Yang Wenfeng was not very familiar with Internet entrepreneurship and did not have much to say, but he soon remembered another matter, which was something Yang Huan asked him to do after he went to the UK.
"You haven't contacted your family recently, have you?"
Zhang Ning shook her head. She had been in the UK for more than two months. Due to the time difference and the fact that she had too many things to do in the UK, she had very few opportunities to even call home.
The most recent one seemed to be taken not long after I went there.
"You moved two months ago." Yang Wenfeng said with a smile.
"Moving?" Zhang Ning was surprised.
Yang Wenfeng nodded, "Yes, we moved into Century Court of Yang's Real Estate."
Century Garden? That is a well-known high-end residential area in Longhai City, full of high-end villas.
How could our family possibly afford it?
Seeing Zhang Ning's inquiring eyes, Yang Wenfeng nodded again, "Yes, after you went to England with Ah Huan, he called me and asked me to find someone to handle it. I think your family didn't tell you, probably because they wanted to give you a surprise."
"In addition, your brother has been admitted to Longhai University. I also arranged for your mother to be admitted to Longhai Hospital for treatment. She is no longer in any danger. As for your father, he is now working in Century Hua Ting. You can go and see him."
Zhang Ning's head was buzzing as she listened to Yang Wenfeng's words. She found it a little hard to believe.
Just now on the plane, she was still thinking that she had finally saved some money in the UK and would come back to mortgage a house for her parents and help her mother with her medical treatment. But who could have thought that everything was done without her knowing.
Only then did she suddenly remember that this was the unexpected surprise that Yang Huan mentioned!
When she thought of this, her heart felt warm, but tears were about to flow out.
She never thought that Yang Huan had done so many things for her behind her back without her knowledge.
Needless to say, he helped with his younger brother's admission to Longhai University, his mother's illness, and his father's work.
It's a pity that I used to think that he was just a rich kid who liked to do bad things and didn't know how to care and understand others.
Seeing her pitiful and touching appearance, Yang Wenfeng, Yang Baoping and others were all amazed in their hearts.
This is indeed a stunningly beautiful woman who is so stunningly beautiful that she can topple a whole country.
From Yang Huan’s previous actions, it is not difficult to see his intentions towards Zhang Ning.
It’s just a pity that her background and past made it difficult for her to become the daughter-in-law of the Yang family.
Yang Huan's grandmother was particularly fond of this beautiful girl. She sat over and took her hand affectionately.
"Don't worry, girl. Just follow our Ah Huan with peace of mind. I promise you that I will never let him down."
Zhang Ning nodded while crying, "Thank you, Grandma Yang."
"Come on, stop crying and tell me in detail. I heard from them that Ah Huan got into a lawsuit recently?"
"No, Grandma Yang, he sued a car manufacturer." Zhang Ning calmed down and explained.
"Oh, he was the one who sued someone!" Grandma Yang Huan finally understood.
"Come on, tell me about this in detail."

…………
When Zhang Ning met Yang Huan's family in Longhai City, Yang Huan was sitting in his office at St. Mary's Stadium, crossing his legs and playing the rope-cutting game on his mobile phone.
This game becomes more addictive the more you play!
Yang Huan is now competing with Long Wu for ranking. The two of them are having a lot of fun fighting back and forth.
The team is now getting on the right track. Bielsa is responsible for the team's competitive aspects, Nicola Cortes is responsible for the team's daily operations, and Yang Huan does not need to intervene at all.
After Zhang Ning returned to China, all financial expenses were handed over to Sun Yue. This guy was quite valued by Yang Huan.
At least when it comes to marketing and public relations, they are indeed good.
The previous hype and publicity for WeChat and the game Cut the Rope were all his ideas.
The most important thing is that he is loyal to Yang Huan, and is willing to endure being beaten or scolded, and work hard without complaint, without any complaints.
As for WeChat company, several people were transferred to follow Zhang Ning back to China, but with Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin in charge, there were no major problems on WeChat and Yang Huan did not need to worry too much.
The only area where Yang Huan is needed is gaming.
With the popularity of Cut the Rope, the game group became the only money-making project under Yang Huan and was naturally highly valued.
Fortunately, the popularity of the game also provided free advertising for WeChat, making it much easier to recruit talent.
Previously, Yang Huan personally hired several gaming talents from Finland at a large sum of money. One of them, Lars Lepinin, is very knowledgeable about game production and management and has rich experience. He has now been appointed by Yang Huan as the head of the gaming department.
There was also a guy named Temur Hausla who was very good at data and business analysis. Yang Huan asked him to set up an analysis team specifically responsible for data and business analysis of the game to assist the game development team.
There is also another artist named Petri Sterman. Originally, WeChat company has no shortage of artists.
You know, the design level in the UK is among the best in the world, and there are many talented people in design and art. WeChat has recruited many excellent artists, so there is no shortage of Petri Sterman.
But considering that he came with several other people and had rich experience in mobile game development, Yang Huan decided to keep him.
Now the entire game department is divided into three groups, each with about five to seven people, formed by the employees themselves, and responsible for Cut the Rope, Temple Run, and a new game that Yang Huan also attaches great importance to.
Among them, Temple Run has been confirmed to be exclusively launched on Apple's IOS platform and is expected to be launched at the end of the year.
As a result, all his subordinates had something to do, and Yang Huan himself had more free time.
When I had nothing to do, I played games with Long Wu.
"YES!" Sitting behind the desk, Yang Huan jumped up excitedly, "Old Five, I passed another level with three stars!"
Long Wu at his desk suddenly looked disappointed and frustrated. He quit the game after failing to pass the level. He took a look at the leaderboard and found that he had been left far behind by Yang Huan again. It was like this every time. He tried hard to catch up, but soon, he was overtaken again.
"Master Huan, did you buy the props?" Long Wu asked with a bitter face.
"Bullshit, do I need to buy props to play this kind of game?" Yang Huan said indignantly.
Doesn't this doubt the IQ of me, Young Master Yang Huan?
Besides, am I that stupid?
Apple takes 30% of the purchase price of props. Isn't that giving money to Apple?
Long Wu curled his lips, put down his phone, and said with disappointment, "I don't want to play anymore."
"Well, it's better to take a break and sort out your thoughts first." Yang Huan said with a smile.
Long Wu was depressed. Comparing himself with others was really infuriating.
He had to endure even playing a game. If he could do something, he really wanted to rush into the game and cut those damn ropes.
"Old Five, you lost again?"
Sun Yue walked in at this time, and seeing Long Wu's expression, he knew what was going on without having to guess.
Long Wu was in a bad mood and simply ignored him.
"Don't you see who you are playing with? That's our Young Master Huan, who is extremely smart. Playing this game is as easy as eating. Can you beat him?" Sun Yue laughed and continued to attack Long Wu.
When Long Wu heard this, he stared at Sun Yue sinisterly and said, "Master Huan, he is flattering you." As he said this, he was about to take action.
Yang Huan said that if anyone tried to flatter him again, he would break his neck, kick his balls, and throw him into the gay bar to pick up soap.
Sun Yue thought to himself that he was doomed. He accidentally flattered Young Master Huan again.
What a bad memory!
But he couldn't admit it, and immediately shook his head, "No, I didn't flatter you."
Yang Huan laughed and nodded, "Okay, Lao Wu, Lao Sun has already taken the flattery back, so stop bullying him.
Long Wu, who originally wanted to vent his anger at Yang Huan on Sun Yue, had no choice but to let him go.
"Tell me, Lao Sun, what's the matter?" Yang asked with a smile.
