After the market closed in the afternoon, Li Baolong hurriedly drove to Xihua Hospital. He was worried about Xiaoyuer, who had just undergone heart surgery, and had even bought a lot of snacks. When he arrived at the ward door, Li Baolong gently pushed it open and immediately saw Wang Li and his wife inside. Upon seeing Li Baolong enter, the couple's faces immediately lit up with smiles, and they quickly stood up to greet him.
Li Baolong entered the ward, put down the snacks, and inquired about Xiaoyuer's condition with concern. Wang Li smiled and said, "The surgery was quite successful. The doctor said he can be discharged in a couple of days." Li Baolong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He turned to look at Wang Li and his wife, thought for a moment, and said, "I've found you two some jobs. You can work in the back office of the dance hall. One of you can do some cleaning, and the other can work as a security guard. What do you think?" Upon hearing this, Wang Li and his wife's eyes were filled with gratitude, and they nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's wonderful! Thank you so much!"
At this moment, Xiaoyuer sat up in bed, holding a drawing in her hand. In her childish voice, she said to Li Baolong, "Uncle Long, I drew this for you. It's a dragon, a divine dragon, flying in the sky." Li Baolong smiled, bent down, and gently took the drawing. Looking at Xiaoyuer, he said, "Oh, Xiaoyuer, you drew so well! Uncle loves it, thank you!" Xiaoyuer's eyes sparkled as she looked at Li Baolong, smiling happily. The atmosphere in the ward was exceptionally warm because of this small interaction.
After saying goodbye to Wang Li and his family of three, Li Baolong turned and left the ward, heading straight downstairs to the inpatient department. At the payment counter, he took out his card and paid another 50,000 yuan in hospital fees, instructing the staff, "If there's any money left over after discharge, just give it to the patient's family."
After paying the fee, Li Baolong drove to Honghong Dance Hall. As soon as he entered, Honghong saw him, greeted him with a smile, and said, "Baolong, business at our dance hall has been terrible lately. These days, nightclubs and KTVs are everywhere, and places like ours where people dance are getting fewer and fewer customers." Li Baolong stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "If it really doesn't work out, we should transfer the dance hall. Don't waste your time here; look for other projects. Think about it carefully, see what profitable businesses are in the big cities in the south, and we can learn from them and find a new way out."
After get off work, the two went to Li Baolong's residence together. As soon as they entered, their emotions ran rampant in the private space. They thoroughly enjoyed the warmth and intimacy of each other's company. Li Baolong still felt it wasn't enough. He gently embraced Honghong and said tenderly, "Sister Hong, once I make money from the stocks, I'll buy you a house. I've been diligently managing the 50,000 yuan you invested in stocks before, and they've started to profit now. In a few months, I'll definitely make a fortune. Then I'll sell the stocks and buy you an entire floor so you can use it to start your company. What do you think?"
Honghong's eyes were filled with deep affection, her eyes slightly red, and her voice choked with emotion: "Baolong, none of the men I knew before were good people. They were either after my body or my money. Only you are truly sincere to me and willing to spend money on me, thinking of buying me a house, spending millions in one go. No matter whether we can get the house in the future, I am determined to follow you and am willing to be your behind-the-scenes woman."
Hearing this, Li Baolong was overjoyed. He hugged Honghong tightly, his face beaming with happiness: "If I really become a billionaire, you'll be a true rich lady, enjoying wealth and luxury every day." Honghong was delighted by his words and, filled with love and gratitude, happily rushed to Li Baolong, serving him with all her heart. The room was filled with warmth and love.
Early in the morning, Li Baolong got out of bed feeling refreshed. Honghong, on the other hand, was exhausted from last night and looked like she would need a whole day to recover. Li Baolong didn't disturb her, tiptoed downstairs, and drove straight to Jinguo Securities.
Upon arriving at the securities brokerage, he walked confidently into his VIP room, where Bai Fei had already thoughtfully prepared tea. Li Baolong went straight to the computer, sat down, and eagerly began monitoring the stock of Xishan Coal Industry. Sure enough, just as he predicted, the stock continued its upward trend, hitting the daily limit, with no opportunity for anyone to buy in. Li Baolong thought to himself, "This is definitely not simple; many people inside and outside the company probably got wind of it beforehand. At this rate, this stock should easily multiply several times over." As he thought this, he kept his eyes glued to the screen, already planning his next move.
Around noon, Li Baolong warmly invited Bai Fei and Liu Na to lunch. The three sat together, and the conversation naturally turned to recent market developments. They chatted amongst themselves, exchanging various news and engaging in in-depth discussions about market trends. When the topic turned to the major event next year—Hong Kong's return to China—Li Baolong's eyes lit up. He said, "Hong Kong's return is a world-renowned event; the Hong Kong stock market will definitely see a surge." He secretly planned that with over a year until the return, he absolutely had to find a way to go to Hong Kong to witness that grand historical moment.
After lunch and a short rest, it was time for the afternoon trading session to open. Li Baolong returned to the brokerage office, glanced at the stock price trend of Xishan Coal Industry, and after getting a feel for it, turned and left the office. He seemed to already have a plan for the next step in mind, and his steps were unusually light.
Li Baolong had been preoccupied with something for the past few days, and today he drove to the Rongcheng Children's Welfare Institute. Why come here? Li Baolong thought that helping the poor could accumulate great merit, which would benefit his spiritual practice. After much thought, he thought of the children at the welfare institute. Now that he had some money, it was time to do something for these poor little ones.
Many of the children in this orphanage were cruelly abandoned. They are so young, they don't understand anything, and they can't decide their own lives. Looking at these children, Li Baolong felt a pang of sorrow and immediately made a decision: he would do it! He would come every year to help these children. He also secretly vowed that when he had more money, he would help impoverished children all over the country, ensuring that every child had enough to eat and wear and lived a good life. He felt that this was the true value of his wealth, and he hoped that through these acts of kindness, he could accumulate great blessings for his life and bring more warmth and hope to the world because of him.
