"...Find a seat and listen attentively to the lesson."

Teacher "Lin Zhengying" waved his sleeve, said something to Chu Yang, and then continued his ritual while muttering incantations.

They even turned off the lights and played creepy background music.

This made Chu Yang's hair stand on end.

Is this a lesson on burial culture, or a ritual for exorcising evil spirits?

Where did the school find such a master?!

Chu Yang finally managed to find an empty seat.

Then I heard the girl next to me say quietly, "You're finally here..."

"Hey, classmate, please speak properly. Why are you acting like you're bewitching someone?" Chu Yang said, both amused and exasperated.

Then he realized the girl's voice sounded familiar: "Shu'er?"

It turns out she's his beloved young lady, what a coincidence!

"It's me." The young lady moved her chair closer to him.

Chu Yang held her hand and whispered, "Why did you sign up for this course? Don't you think it's creepy and scary? The teacher even does cosplay, acting all mysterious."

The young lady blinked: "What is Cos...Play?"

"It's just role-playing. Isn't this teacher dressed up as Uncle Nine, Lam Ching-ying?" Chu Yang said.

"So that's how it is." The young lady found it quite amusing and chuckled, "At first I thought it was scary, but now I'm used to it and I think this teacher is quite funny and the classes are quite interesting."

"As for why I came here to take this class, it's because I found out you were taking this course, so I took it too. Who knew that almost a semester had passed and you still hadn't come to class, hmph."

"Okay, you should have said so earlier. I would have come much sooner if I had known you were here," Chu Yang said with a smile.

Then he asked in a low voice, "You chose this course with me because you're planning to be buried together when we die?"

The young lady spat lightly, "Go to hell, what's with all this talk about dying?"

Chu Yang laughed and said, "Didn't you say that your family has a feng shui treasure land in the mountains?"

The young lady blushed slightly: "Well, it's still early, we're all so young..."

"Ahem! The student over there, the one who just came in and called Chu Yang!" The teacher on the stage shouted coldly, pointing his peach wood sword: "Stand up!"

The young lady stuck out her tongue. This was the first time she had been caught talking in class. Although it wasn't her who was caught, it was still very embarrassing. Chu Yang was sure to be embarrassed.

Chu Yang patted him on the shoulder to reassure him.

The teacher said, "What did I just say? Now, repeat it."

Chu Yang paused for a moment, then said, "What I just talked about was the 'Dragonfly Skimming Water' burial site from the movie 'Vampire Expert.' The burial method depicted in the film actually exists in reality. By using scenes from the movie, I helped you understand the unique burial methods of the ancients in a simpler way, while also expressing the ancients' respect for their ancestors and their best wishes for the future generations..."

"Alright, alright, sit down and listen to the lesson properly, stop talking." The teacher interrupted him, thinking to himself, "Talking while listening to the lesson, is the legendary top student really that amazing?"

"Okay, teacher." Chu Yang sat down and took the young lady's hand again.

"You're so amazing," the young lady whispered.

"That's right, my two ears can work separately." Chu Yang smiled smugly.

"Let's stop talking and listen to the lesson together," the young lady said softly.

"Okay, sure." Chu Yang squeezed her hand.

And so, the two of them stood close together in the dimly lit classroom, listening to the teacher on stage, who was cosplaying Lam Ching-ying, talk in a mystical way about ancient tomb culture, and occasionally use a few geomantic techniques to broaden everyone's knowledge.

Although the lectures sounded a bit unserious and the atmosphere was rather gloomy, the students listened with great interest.

Chu Yang and Li Qingshu seemed to have returned to their high school days, when they attended classes together in the same classroom.

It was a hot summer day outside the window, and the cicadas were chirping merrily.

The ceiling fan in the classroom was whirring. Li Qingshu, who was sitting in the front row, occasionally turned around to peek, and Chu Yang responded by making a heart shape with his hands.

Soon, the two elective classes ended, and the two left the classroom hand in hand.

Outside, the sun is shining brightly.

The young lady shielded her eyes with her hand to adjust to the light, then squinted and said, "Let's go find Sister Xiaoyang to have dinner together."

Chu Yang nodded, just then his phone rang.

It was Brother Xian, who was far away in Taiwan, who called to inform him that the dividends had been transferred and that the reports had been sent to his email.

They also invited him and Shen Nansheng to attend the company's annual meeting in Taiwan.

The annual meeting was during the winter break, so Chu Yang agreed.

Chu Yang and Shen Nansheng will jointly receive 70% of the profits from Alpha.

Actually, this year was not the time when Zhou Xianglun's commercial value exploded, although "Octave Space" sold 2 million copies and generated more than 70 million yuan in sales.

The concerts were not yet a phenomenon. In 2002, a total of ten concerts were held, plus a few commercial performances and endorsements, totaling a little over 100 million.

The total profit was over 110 million yuan. Chu Yang and Shen Nansheng received a dividend of over 77 million yuan, while Chu Yang received over 39 million yuan.

He initially invested 50 million, and hasn't even broken even yet.

But he knew that next year would be a year of making a fortune.

Then, as if by prior arrangement, Alibaba, NetEase, and Tencent contacted him one after another, informing him about the dividends.

The largest share was given to the online community.

Thanks to "Fantasy Westward Journey", NetEase's revenue has soared and its net profit has reached 300 million yuan.

Baidu Search, which partnered with Ding Lei, has not yet taken off, but it has already made a profit of 10 million.

Tencent's revenue is also quite substantial, with a surge in revenue from online mini-games in the fourth quarter alone, resulting in a net income of 100 million yuan.

While Alibaba's Pony Ma was still sharpening his sword, Taobao.com was poised for launch, but in 2002, Alibaba Wholesale also achieved profitability, with a net income of over 6 million yuan.

Chu Yang only invested in the company in the fourth quarter, so he didn't receive much money, only a few hundred thousand yuan, which was less than what the bar earned.

Of course, once Taobao.com goes live and Alibaba's stock continues to surge, that's when we'll be counting our money with satisfaction.

The dividends from these companies totaled more than 43 million yuan in Chu Yang's hands.

Including Alfa Romeo, the total is 83 million.

Actually, he didn't earn as much as he did from stocks.

He currently has 400 million yuan in his stock account, of which 180 million yuan belongs to Shen Nansheng.

Although he now has a net worth of over 200 million and various investments that continue to generate profits, he still prefers to enjoy home-cooked dinners with his girlfriends.

They don't mind cooking for them themselves, serving them dishes and rice.

However, after dinner, Shu'er and Zhou Yang refused to let him clean up and pressed him down on the sofa to rest.

After Zhou Yang finished washing up in the kitchen, Shu'er picked up a broom and swept the floor.

As she passed by the sofa, Shu'er said, "I'm going to the library to study later, do you want to come with me?"

Chu Yang thought for a moment and said, "I don't like studying, and if I go, it will affect your studies. Let's forget about it."

Shu'er smiled and said, "Alright, then you can keep Xiao Yang company."

"I'm going to the bar to work. It's finals time, and there are a lot of graduating students as customers." Zhou Yang said as she walked out of the kitchen.
