With the most important issue of the surname resolved, Old Mr. Tang was in high spirits.

He pulled the lawyer to the table for a few cups of yellow wine.

He didn't bother with red wine or whiskey; just plain old yellow wine.

At Old Mr. Tang's age and status, whether he liked something was more important than its value. Affecting elegance was for young people, and this was considered returning to one's roots.

After tasting the abalone personally prepared by Chef Yang, one of Hong Kong's food gods, Su Yehao found the sweet and not-too-rich flavor unforgettable.

Golden roast goose, crispy suckling pig, typhoon shelter crab, and stir-fried rice noodles with shrimp filled the table. There was simply too much to eat.

So he had some of the dishes removed and sent to the driver and bodyguards to enjoy.

Of course, Su Yehao was more interested in the mansion itself.

After eating his fill, he started exploring the house from top to bottom again.

The basement had a wine cellar and storage room, the first floor had an indoor swimming pool and private gym, and the second floor had a study, master bedroom, and dressing room. The American-style decor was classic yet casual, using plenty of walnut wood panels to create a bright and relaxed atmosphere.

The thought of this super mansion, a family heirloom, being in his name after the transfer of ownership made Su Yehao feel a little dizzy.

He began to wonder who he would live with in the future, worrying that it was too big and would feel lonely.

…

Old Mr. Tang went to bed promptly at 9:30 every night. The gathering broke up around 8:00, and he returned to the old Tang family mansion on Broadwood Road near Central.

Remembering his maternal grandfather's address, Su Yehao made an excuse about taking the new employees of Koko Ventures out for a late-night snack. He ditched his slightly displeased mother and went to meet Nong Qingying again.

A typical case of forgetting one's mother for his sweetheart.

He went out to the night market. It was still bustling after nine o'clock, with people coming and going and the noise of the crowd.

Su Yehao cautiously mentioned the house on Big Wave Bay Road and his promise to his maternal grandfather that his child would take the Tang surname. Nong Qingying detected something amiss. She blinked her eyes as she drank her herbal tea and asked, "Are you saying you want to have a child with me?"

"Of course. My maternal grandfather values these things a lot and will definitely do everything he can to nurture the child. In the future, there will be wealth and luxury. A reward of tens of millions for having a child is nothing at all. I'm not planning on becoming a father anytime soon, so I'll save this valuable opportunity for you for now?"

Hong Kong girls have cheerful personalities, which is related to the fast-paced lifestyle.

After hearing Su Yehao's words, Nong Qingying wasn't shy at all. Her face broke into a smile as she jokingly said, "Okay, I'll have my son snatch your mother's assets. I'll lie at home playing mahjong all day long. Other people spend money raising children, but raising my child will make me rich."

"The result is important, but the process is also important. Why don't we try it out first?"

Su Yehao finally revealed his core objective.

Nong Qingying understood, hooked her arm through his, and walked through the crowd, playfully scolding him.

He had eaten too much dinner, so he missed out on the delicious street snacks.

During this time, Nong Qingying received a call. The bank they had contacted in the afternoon had already started contacting the fishing boat dealers to discuss the details of the loan process. The down payment was only one-tenth of the total price.

If everything went smoothly, they could pay the deposit first tomorrow, sign the contract, and then sail the fishing boat away. The dealer would handle the formalities and they could also enjoy official subsidies for the fishing industry.

Business was difficult and deals were hard to find, so this efficiency was surprisingly high.

Nong Qingying currently held Yahoo stock worth twenty million, so getting a mortgage would definitely not be a problem.

After thinking for a while, Nong Qingying asked Su Yehao on the way back to the hotel, "If we can sail the fishing boat away tomorrow… would you like to come home with me? Just pretend to be my boyfriend, otherwise I'm worried I won't even be able to get through the door. And, my family is very ordinary, very different from your friends' families."

"…Am I not your boyfriend?"

Su Yehao sat in the passenger seat of the Porsche 911. The night breeze was cool, but there was a traffic jam ahead and the air was filled with the smell of exhaust fumes.

He looked at Nong Qingying, who was looking ahead, and then added, "Let's go together. My dad was so poor back then that he almost died at sea clutching a few planks of wood. Just counting that lineage, our conditions might not even be as good as your family's. Who hasn't had poor ancestors? Don't worry, I'm interested in you, and nothing else matters. You're a little rich woman with a fifty-million-dollar mansion now. Buying a fishing boat doesn't cost that much, right?"

"Shopping is definitely great, but paying off the loan will be terrible. I can't tell my parents about this, or they'll be worried all day long if they can't catch any fish!"

Nong Qingying's little worries were instantly swept away.

Because of her background, there were many people who gossiped and criticized her behind her back when she was acting as the Xue family's fake daughter-in-law.

People, of course, are a mix of good and bad.

In the upper circles, there are countless people who rely on their abilities to turn around and mock others for being vulgar.

Her relationship with Su Yehao had just begun, so she naturally cared about Su Yehao's opinion. She was relieved after hearing him speak and regained her good mood.

While waiting for the red light, Nong Qingying teased him and said, "I also like you a lot. Tonight… are you still going home? I've never tried sleeping with someone in my arms."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yehao's eyes lit up and he was instantly no longer sleepy.

Nong Qingying dared to bring this up because of what had happened in the afternoon. She only had some secondhand experience and underestimated Su Yehao's recovery speed.

When they returned to the Four Seasons Hotel, she realized that she had purely brought trouble upon herself, and it was with great difficulty that she suppressed the flames.

They really just hugged and slept…

————————————

The next morning, Nong Qingying went to the restaurant for the buffet, reaching out to rub her slender neck.

Her muscles were sore.

Su Yehao called Linda Yun and asked for two more days off.

After breakfast, he first accompanied her to the bank to sign the contract and pay the five hundred thousand deposit, asking the dealer to quickly register the fishing boat. For now, it could only be registered under her name as the borrower.

The dealer received the five hundred thousand deposit and heard that the bank's initial review was no problem, needing only to complete the process step by step. They promised to handle it as soon as possible.

Fishing boats were different from cars. They were a full forty-nine meters long, making them difficult to steal. The dealer was very confident in a little rich woman who owned stocks worth twenty million.

In this way, it was estimated that the boat could be sailed away in the afternoon, and there was no need to wait foolishly for the bank to release the loan before picking it up.

After accompanying Nong Qingying to complete her affairs, the two rushed to Central to meet with the new employees of Koko Ventures and held a brief meeting.

It wasn't impassioned, and there was no real theme.

It was just to tell them to pay more attention to mainland internet companies and select promising, high-quality projects from them.

In addition, they were to keep an eye on the latest developments of several companies, including Yinhai, Yahoo, Amazon, Netscape, AOL, and Apple, and report any important news at any time.

In terms of personnel appointments, a middle-aged Hong Konger with the English name Sam, a former employee of Morgan Stanley, was temporarily chosen to serve as a supervisor, and the rest were put on hold for the time being.

As it stood, Su Yehao didn't expect them to be of much help, and he didn't have any spare money to invest for the time being.

He was thinking of not opening for business for three years, and then eating for three hundred years once he did.

Anyway, the cost was just supporting a few employees.

The new employees looked at each other. If they didn't think the title of "Young Master of Si Hai International" was valuable, they would have almost thought they had been scammed.

How could they get paid for doing nothing? Keeping an eye on the trends of a few companies, was that a real job?

Then he went to meet with A Qiang and A Dai.

The company, named "tAt Network Technology," was located in an office building managed by the Donghuang Group. It came with basic decoration, free rent, and free property management fees. There were only a few desks in the corner, and the computers hadn't been bought yet. It was empty.

No matter how you looked at it, the scale seemed like a shell company. Even he himself felt that it was lacking.

Su Yehao simply told A Qiang and A Dai to take some money to buy some conference tables, water dispensers, blackboards, green plants, etc., so that they could at least get a small area up and running first.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the Victoria Harbour view, Su Yehao's head hurt.

Besides an immature chat room program, an office building, nearly a million in funds, and two undergraduates, there was nothing else in this tAt company.

Starting a business on his own was difficult, and he had no confidence in succeeding…
