Seeing that Zhuang Li agreed to give the money, Shao Hui immediately took out her cell phone and said she wanted to transfer the money.
Zhuang Li glanced at the screen and shook his head, saying, "My deposit isn't in your bank. The upper limit for interbank transfers is two million. You'll have to wait until I get off work at noon and go to the counter to transfer it for you."
Shao Hui didn't dare to appear too anxious, so she had to agree.
There was the sound of a car engine outside the door; it must be He Ming. Zhuang Li grabbed his coat, leaned over and hugged Shao Yan's shoulders, then hurried out the door.
He Ming hurried in at this moment, and seeing Zhuang Li ready to go, he was visibly relieved. He seemed to be desperate for Zhuang Li to accompany him to work, and he was afraid that he would regret it the moment he left.
"Let's go." Zhuang Li stretched out an arm.
He Ming quickly interlocked his fingers with him.
Looking at the backs of the two holding hands, Shao Yan sighed with relief.
"Huihui, you are about to graduate from college, and it's time to find a job. Mom will sell the house to pay back your brother for the five million yuan, but you have to understand that your brother should have half of the house, and your brother is losing money to pay you back. You have to pay him back when you get a job, understand?" Shao Yan turned her head and taught her daughter earnestly.
"I understand." Shao Hui could do nothing but nod and agree.
Without an economic base, there is no superstructure. Now she finally understood what this meant. She owed Zhuang Li a debt, and her dignity and status in this family became increasingly diminished.
I just hate that she was so confused before. She could have controlled the family's decision with her financial strength, but she chose to hide it, causing her mother and brother to look down on her.
Shao Yan rubbed his daughter's head and sighed, "After work, it's time to consider personal issues. If there's a boy you like, bring him home to show mom and brother. It would be best if you could find someone like your big brother He. People like that are reliable."
Shao Hui couldn't hold it in any longer, and complained with red eyes: "There are too few people like Brother He. Where can I find one?"
How about you ask Zhuang Li to give Brother He to me? This was Shao Hui's inner voice, but unfortunately she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Zhuang Li and He Ming walked hand in hand into the company's gate. A reporter who had been waiting for a while immediately rushed over to ask, "Mr. He, do you know why the press conference held by Jingwei Kingdom last night went awry? It's said that the He family used improper means to attack Jingwei Kingdom. Is this information reliable?"
He Ming immediately pulled Zhuang Li into his arms and used his arms to separate the reporters.
"The Jingwei Nation stole He's research and development data. The Fantasy Feathers they created are actually a preliminary version of our company's recently developed 'Butterfly Wings.' However, they misinterpreted the research and development data, causing the entire production process to be faulty. Their Fantasy Feathers fade under certain temperatures, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentrations, presenting a major quality issue."
He Ming said cautiously, "The He family did not use any unfair competition tactics against the Kingdom of Jingwei. On the contrary, the Kingdom of Jingwei stole the He family's trade secrets, causing great damage to the He family.
"At present, we have obtained evidence that Jingwei Country stole He's business secrets. We have also reported the person who helped Jingwei Country steal He's secrets to the police. Once the real culprit is caught, this matter will soon be solved."
He Ming held Zhuang Li in his arms and strode into the company.
The reporter looked at the two men's intimate backs and asked loudly, "Mr. He, what is your current relationship with Mr. Zhuang? Someone saw you fighting with Xiao Yiheng at the press conference and even filmed the incident. What was the reason?"
He Ming was very angry about his implication that Zhuang Li and Xiao Yiheng had an affair.
He turned his head and said sternly, "Zhuang Li and I are of course husband and wife. We have a very good relationship, and no one can interfere. I beat Xiao Yiheng because he stole He's secrets. What else could it be? If you make false reports about this, my legal team will be waiting for you in court!"
He Ming stared at the reporter's work badge for a few seconds, already noting which newspaper the reporter worked for. He would have the public relations department focus on that newspaper later. If they found any reports slandering Zhuang Li online, he would sue them at all costs.
The reporter felt a chill run down his spine from He Ming's cold gaze, and quickly waved his hands, saying he wouldn't write nonsense.
Only then did He Ming hug Zhuang Li and walk into the elevator.
After the elevator door closed, Zhuang Li suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed He Ming's thin lips. She smiled and whispered in his ear, "Hubby, have I ever told you that you are my hero?"
He Ming hugged Zhuang Li tightly and whispered a promise: "I will always be your hero."
Zhuang Li kissed his lips again, feeling very peaceful.
As soon as the two entered the office, He Ming's personal lawyer came in with a pile of documents, saying that he wanted to transfer all of the boss's property to Zhuang Li and asked Zhuang Li to sign.
The self-criticism letter written yesterday was not written casually. He Ming always keeps his word.
The lawyer originally thought that Zhuang Li would at least pretend to be humble and express his noble sentiment of "loving people but not money", but Zhuang Li didn't even look at the document, picked up the pen and started signing.
He Ming was helping to flip through the documents, telling him which space to sign and which space to put his fingerprint on, with no expression of reluctance on his face.
After signing, He Ming took out his phone, took a photo of the property transfer document, and posted it to his Moments and Weibo, with the caption: [From today on, I have to work for my spouse.]
Zhuang Li immediately forwarded the post and replied: [Do a good job.]
The two looked at each other, then smiled and kissed.
Lawyer: “…” Rich people really know how to have fun!
He Ming's Weibo post immediately captured the attention of the entire internet, with no one understanding his actions. Consequently, Zhuang Li quickly earned a new nickname: the Gu King.
A certain netizen said with certainty that Zhuang Li must have put a Gu on He Ming, otherwise He Ming would not have done such stupid things: being the one to take over at the wedding, and giving away all his property while a scandal was brewing. He Ming is crazy!
This comment received countless likes. But no matter how much people scoffed, Zhuang Li had indeed become the most successful example of marriage. I wonder how many men and women secretly prayed that they would find a partner as silly as He Ming in the future.

At the same time, Shao Hui also saw this Weibo post.
She stared at the thick stack of property transfer documents in the photo, her eyes gradually becoming bloodshot. She had always thought that He Ming had just casually written the self-criticism yesterday, but she had never expected him to actually do it! How could this man be so good?
No one knows better than Shao Hui how successful He Ming will be in the future.
Having developed three types of "butterfly wings," he would be richer than in his previous life. A vast port, vast overseas territories, a noble status, inexhaustible wealth—all these things she longed for but could never reach—would all belong to Zhuang Li in the future.
What's even more ridiculous is that without her careful planning, Zhuang Li would never have been able to marry He Ming.
She must have been crazy to make Xiao Yiheng break off the engagement. She should have paired those two together and then seduced He Ming herself.
Shao Hui was filled with remorse beyond words and jealousy to the point of heart and lung pain. She felt extremely uncomfortable for a while.
Shao Yan, who was sitting nearby browsing Weibo, also screamed in surprise: "Oh my! He Ming actually gave his property to your brother! This kid is too honest! No, I have to keep a close eye on your brother from now on. If he dares to do anything to let He Ming down, I'll break his legs. We can't take this money. I'll definitely tell your brother off when he comes back!"
Shao Yan's reproach sounded ridiculous to Shao Hui.
How could Zhuang Li possibly give up the property he had obtained?
If only she could replace Zhuang Li! If she could do it all over again, she would return to Zhuang Li's body instead of this one!
The more Shao Hui thought about it, the more obsessed she became, and the more she felt desire.
At this moment, a phone call interrupted her fantasy. She looked at the caller ID, ran upstairs, and hid in the bedroom to answer the call.
Wang Dan's voice, tinged with laughter, came from the microphone: "I heard from your father that you are short of money? Do you want to sell the formula of Magnolia? I'll give you 50 million."
"No, I'm not short of money now." Shao Hui refused decisively.
"The company you and Xiao Yiheng jointly founded is about to go bankrupt, right? If you don't sell the Magnolia formula, how are you going to get through this difficult time? You have to think it over carefully. I'm offering you 50 million now because of your father's face. After the bank seals up your assets, I can lower the price even lower. Then you'll have to sell it even if you don't want to. We signed a restrictive contract in the beginning. If you sell the formula to someone else, I can sue you in court." Wang Dan stated the facts slowly and calmly.
In order to prevent Shao Hui from selling Magnolia's formula everywhere and affecting the company's development, Wang Dan had already cut off Shao Hui's retreat through legal means.
"Didn't you watch the news? My brother has plenty of money. Our family doesn't need your 50 million." Shao Hui had never been so tough in front of Wang Dan.
In the past, she could only rely on Wang Dan to make money, so she had to be humble and endure humiliation. Now that Zhuang Li has money, she can just leave Wang Dan aside.
Only then did she finally understand a truth: outsiders are always outsiders, and family members are always family members. Relying on family members, she can stand tall, but relying on outsiders, she can only bow down.
Wang Dan fell silent, seemingly browsing a news page. After a long moment, he chuckled again and said, "I didn't expect your brother to be so successful, making so much money just by selling his ass. Shao Yan really knows how to teach children."
Hearing her insult her mother, Shao Hui immediately retorted: "Do you know who was the one who led the Bitcoin war a while ago? It was my brother! Do you know who the mysterious tycoon who injected billions of funds into He's company and boosted its stock price is? It was my brother! This information is not confidential, go and find out for yourself. The children raised by my mother are more promising than your two children! So, are you jealous? There's no point in being jealous. If it comes to capital, my brother can crush you with just one finger!"
Shao Hui hung up the phone and laughed heartily twice.
She had wanted to confront Wang Dan for a long time, but she had never dared. Now, relying on Zhuang Li's power, she finally got her wish.
Wang Dan stared at her beeping phone, her well-kept face scowling with anger. But in the blink of an eye, she sneered again.
A brat like Shao Hui wants to fight her? Go back and practice for a few decades before you decide.
