Shen Mingzhu ignored him after she finished her retort, her beautiful black hair covering the pillow like satin.
Pei Yang played with a strand of her hair for a long time before gently poking her back with his fingers.
"Wife, are you asleep?"
"Asleep."
“It’s a lie.”
Pei Yang leaned over to look at her face. Seeing that her eyes were closed, he pursed his lips and blew air at her. After blowing once and seeing that she did not wake up, he continued to blow.
Shen Mingzhu was so annoyed that she turned over and sat up, glaring at the man.
Pei Yang held her hands with each hand, which seemed like an intimate gesture, but was actually to prevent her from hitting someone.
"I want to withdraw my shares in the electronics factory."
Shen Mingzhu sneered: "How do you want to withdraw?"
"I've thought about it. We can get 200,000 yuan from last year's profit. Add the shares I have, and let Shuhuan make it a round-off. The total amount is 500,000 yuan."
"I don't want to hurt our 30-year brotherhood because of money. I don't think it's worth it."
In other words, he values feelings more than money.
Even if it has cracks and flaws, he will try his best to maintain and repair it.
"It's not easy for Shuhuan to get to where he is today. The electronics factory is his hard work. I didn't help him at all except for 40,000 yuan. I can get back more than ten times the profit in less than a year. I think it's enough."
Shen Mingzhu snorted, "Since you have thought it through, I have nothing to say."
"Then you're not angry?"
"If I get angry, will you change your decision?"
"I hope you're happy. Once we get the money, we'll buy that big villa you liked. The rest will be yours too. You can spend it however you want."
After hearing what the man said, Shen Mingzhu felt much better.
In fact, things had come to this point where a rift had already developed between the two sides. Zhou Shuhuan was dissatisfied with them, and she no longer trusted Zhou Shuhuan.
The electronics factory was far away in Focheng, and it was difficult for her and Pei Yang to take care of it. It would be easy for Zhou Shuhuan to tamper with the accounts. If he was even more ruthless, he could directly put the electronics factory into a debt situation, and Pei Yang, a shareholder, would also be implicated.
It would be a wise move to withdraw the shares now with the money.
She didn't think Pei Yang's compromise and concession in this matter was a manifestation of cowardice and saintliness.
On the contrary, she admired his kindness and determination that was not tempted by fame and fortune.
…
In the steaming hot bath, Zhou Shuhuan sat against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.
With the sound of splashing water, someone sat down next to him.
He opened his eyes and looked over, and was stunned for a moment, "Brother Yang, why are you here?"
Pei Yang sighed: "The water is hot enough, it's really comfortable to soak in. There shouldn't be a bathhouse in Focheng, right?"
"There are bath houses and massage parlors over there."
"It seems you are a regular customer of those places."
"I go there for social events. There's no way to avoid it."
"That's good. After being poor for half my life, I finally made some money. I should spend it as I should. There's no need to make myself suffer."
Zhou Shuhuan smiled, but he still felt uncomfortable because of what happened in the afternoon.
On the other hand, Pei Yang seemed to be unaffected. He poured water on himself and chatted with him.
"Do you remember one year when we ran to the countryside to steal peanuts from someone's field? We were caught. We all ran away, but you were the slowest runner and got caught. To save you, we went back to help someone cut down two acres of corn stalks. It was already dark when we got home. We were scolded by our family, but we didn't dare to tell the truth."
"Another time, you went to steal someone's watermelon and accidentally fell into a ditch. You almost drowned. After we got home, we were all severely beaten by our family. You stole the egg cake that your mother had saved for gifts and gave it to us to eat. When we got home, your mother also beat you up. You cried so hard that everyone in the compound could hear you."
As Pei Yang continued to talk, the past came to Zhou Shuhuan's mind vividly, and he couldn't help but fall into a daze.
"Shuhuan."
"What's the matter, Brother Yang?"
"I have discussed this with your sister-in-law. We are willing to withdraw our shares. Forget about the penalty for breach of contract. I didn't invest in you for these reasons."
Zhou Shuhuan's heart was pounding.
It is naturally a good thing that Pei Yang is willing to transfer the equity back to him at a low price.
Emotionally, he should not be ungrateful. Without Pei Yang, he would not be where he is today. Every penny he earns belongs to Pei Yang.
But reason was like a thread sewing up his throat, making him unable to say no.
This is not ten thousand or twenty thousand, nor one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, but one million or even tens of millions.
He can't do it.
He lost.
He always wanted to prove that he was no worse than Pei Yang.
But he could not have the breadth of mind and vision of Pei Yang, and he refused the wealth that was within his reach.

Two days later, Pei Yang and Zhou Shuhuan, accompanied by their respective lawyers, formally signed the equity transfer agreement.
Seeing Pei Yang signing his name on the agreement and pressing his fingerprints with his own eyes, Shen Baolan's mouth was crooked with smile.
Now that the shares are back, the electronics factory will belong to her man alone from now on, and Shen Mingzhu can forget about getting any benefit from it.
Looking at Shen Mingzhu who was drinking tea calmly in the rest room next to her, Shen Baolan couldn't help but walk over and say something mean.
"You two have made a fortune this time. You got half a million dollars for nothing. You must be laughing in your dreams, right?"
Shen Mingzhu responded in a neither soft nor hard way: "It's not so bad that I woke up laughing, but I am a little worried. How should I spend the five hundred thousand?"
My man's electronics factory can earn several million a year, your 500,000 is nothing! When my man becomes a multi-millionaire, I will piss you off to death!
When Shen Baolan thought of Shen Mingzhu envying and jealous of her ugliness, she felt as refreshed as if she had drunk ice lemon tea.
"By the way, I have some good news to tell you. My family is planning to move to a bigger house, but we are not going to buy an old house like yours. We are going to buy a big villa in the south of the city, in Ruifeng Garden behind the government compound."
…
Coming out of the law firm, Pei Yang opened the car door for Shen Mingzhu and said with a smile, "Let's go find the landlord and book the house first."
"What the hell, I'm not buying it!"
Pei Yang bent down and looked at her, "What's the matter? You were so happy this morning? Did Shu Huan's family offend you again? Why is she so troublesome? Otherwise, I'll go and scold her."
Shen Mingzhu said unhappily: "The Zhou family also wants to buy in Ruifeng Garden!"
She would rather live in her current old house than be neighbors with the crazy old woman Shen Baolan.
Pei Yang knew how much she hated Shen Baolan, so he soothed her softly, "How about we go look at other real estate projects? There are several new real estate projects in the south of the city."
She had looked at all the properties in good locations, but only Ruifengyuan suited her best.
If she had to settle for the second best, she would rather not change rooms.
"Forget it, let's just live here now. I heard from Brother Zhao that the area will strengthen security this year and will arrange patrol officers to patrol 24 hours a day."
The biggest problem with their current residence is the security risk. If the security is improved and guaranteed, it would actually be a nice place to live.
Hearing her say this, Pei Yang smiled and said, "Then don't worry, we'll take our time to look around and pick a good house that satisfies our needs."
"I won't buy it yet. I have other uses for this money."
Pei Yang agreed with her and said, "Use it as you like. We can buy a house with the remaining money."
“There’s nothing left.”
Pei Yang choked, "What are you going to do? Are you going to spend all the 500,000?"
Converted at current prices, 500,000 is approximately equivalent to 50 million in thirty years.
It’s no wonder Pei Yang was shocked to see 50 million being spent at one time.
"Why, you can't bear to part with it?"
"Nonsense, the money I earn is for you to spend!"
Shen Mingzhu was pleased by the man's strong desire to survive, and her mood instantly improved a lot. (End of this chapter)
