This trip to the orphanage helped Gao Yan resolve a long-standing issue.
The time was almost up.
He was also planning to find a place to have dinner.
There are many restaurants near the hotel, and Gao Yan finally chose a braised chicken restaurant to go in.
Just as he sat down, a burly young man next to him tentatively called out, "Gao Yan?"
"Huang Peng, it's you!"
Gao Yan hadn't noticed before, but now that he saw the other person's face, he remembered his name. The other person was his junior high and high school classmate. However, the other person dropped out of school in the second semester of the first year of high school. Later, he heard that something had happened to his family.
Since they were old classmates, Gao Yan went straight to his table and sat down, asking, "I didn't expect to run into you here. By the way, what do you do for a living now?"
Huang Peng smiled bitterly: "When I was in the first year of high school, my dad had an accident at the construction site and became paralyzed. My mom ran away, so I had to drop out of school and go back to take care of him. Now my dad is still paralyzed, and I can't find a normal job. I can only do some odd jobs. What about you? With such good grades, you should be in college by now, right?"
Just then, the waiter arrived, and Gao Yan ordered a braised chicken rice dish, continuing, "Yes, I just finished my sophomore year, and I'll be a junior next semester!"
Suddenly, Gao Yan had a thought. Huang Peng was able to drop out of school to take care of his paralyzed father for several years, which showed that he was quite filial. After all, there are no filial sons when their fathers are bedridden for a long time.
There are very few people in this world who can take care of their paralyzed father day after day for years, and from Huang Peng's tone, he did not sense any resentment or dissatisfaction!
That alone is already quite remarkable.
"That's great!"
Huang Peng nodded.
A short while later, the braised chicken rice that Gao Yan had ordered was served.
While eating, Gao Yan asked, "Do you have anything planned for tonight?"
Huang Peng said, "After I finish eating, I still have to go help people sort packages."
Gao Yan asked, "When do you get off work?"
"It'll probably be past eleven o'clock before we finish!"
"Okay, give me your phone number. I'll treat you to drinks after you get off work!" Gao said.
Huang Peng did not refuse.
Suddenly, Gao Yan had a thought and asked, "Will it be alright if your uncle is home alone while you're gone?"
"no problem!"
Huang Peng shook his head: "I asked an aunt from next door to help look after it."
After the meal, Huang Peng paid the bill himself, including Gao Yan's, without arguing. He agreed to contact Gao Yan after get off work.
After Huang Peng left, Gao Yan wandered around the neighborhood for a while before returning to his hotel.
Just then, Chen Youling called.
Brother-in-law, are you alright?
"That's great. What's up? Is there something you need me for?" Gao Yan asked with a smile.
Chen Youwei: "Yes, brother-in-law, I've thought about the live streaming thing you mentioned. I want to become a live streamer and make money!"
Gao Yan: "Okay, I'll fully support you as your brother-in-law. I'll have someone from the live streaming guild contact you and send you a set of live streaming equipment. They'll teach you how to use it!"
Chen Youling: "Thank you, brother-in-law, you're so kind!"
Gao Yan: "You're welcome. By the way, what's your sister doing?"
Chen Youling: "She's cooking. By the way, brother-in-law, that medicinal wine you gave me is amazing. Grandma drank half a cup yesterday and half a cup today, and her leg injury is much better, and her hearing has also recovered quite a bit!"
Gao Yan: "That's good, but keep this a secret and don't tell anyone!"
Chen Youling: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I'm not stupid!"
She chatted with Chen Youling for a while longer until Chen Youwei called her to dinner, at which point they ended their conversation.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Yan made a phone call to the vice president of the Yuyan Live Streaming Guild to give him some instructions, and then sent him Chen Youling's WeChat contact information.
11:05 PM.
Gao Yan received a call from Huang Peng.
Then Gao Yan walked out of the hotel and came to a food stall 200 meters away.
"You got here so quickly?"
Huang Peng was somewhat surprised.
"I'm staying at the Summit Hotel."
Gao Yan said with a smile.
"Isn't your home in the city? Why are you staying in a hotel?" Huang Peng asked in surprise.
Gao Yan calmly said, "My parents are not my biological parents, but my adoptive parents. They adopted me because they couldn't have a son."
However, shortly after adopting me, my adoptive mother's infertility was cured, and she gave birth to a biological son. After having her own son, their attitude towards me changed. Fortunately, at least they didn't starve me and even supported me through university. So, after severing ties with them, I gave them one million yuan!
"One million?" Huang Peng swallowed hard. "Aren't you still in college? How do you have so much money?"
"No rush, let's order food first, then we can chat!"
Gao Yan called over a waiter and ordered a stir-fry dish, some kebabs, and a case of beer.
Gao Yan continued, "I started my own business after I went to university, and I've achieved some success so far, earning several hundred thousand yuan a month!"
"so much?"
Huang Peng's eyes widened in disbelief. Gao Yan was only a sophomore in college, yet he was already making so much money.
How much do you earn in a month now?
Gao Yan asked.
"I don't have a fixed amount for myself!" Huang Peng shook his head: "Sometimes I make more than three thousand a month, and sometimes it's only a little over a thousand!"
"Do you want to earn more money?"
"Yes, I dream about it!" Huang Peng said excitedly.
"I have a job here that would be a good fit for you!"
"I'm willing to do it!"
Huang Peng quickly replied.
Gao Yan waved his hand: "No rush, let me finish. This job is relatively simple, but there's a prerequisite: you need to know how to drive. Do you?"
