173: Chapter 173 Open the door, check the water meter.

At 8:30 PM, Zhao Yang strolled to the back door of Wenhua Jiayuan and found Lin Wanyu standing next to Hu Yifei. He couldn't help but laugh: "Yifei, did you bring an audience along?"

"I bumped into Wanyu when I was heading downstairs." Hu Yifei shrugged, "She asked me what I was doing, and I accidentally let it slip that I was going to beat someone up, so Wanyu followed along."

"Hehe." Lin Wanyu smiled embarrassedly, "Brother Yang, you aren't going to beat up Teacher Zeng, are you?"

Zhao Yang gave a thumbs up: "One hundred points for intelligence."

Lin Wanyu looked a bit surprised: "But you only found out Teacher Zeng was missing today, how did you find him so quickly?"

"Yeah, Brother Yang." Hu Yifei also asked, "How did you find that scumbag?"

"Given Zeng Xiaoxian's personality, he doesn't have the guts to run far away." Zhao Yang said, "He must be hiding somewhere nearby, secretly watching our reactions, not daring to show his face, waiting for the heat to die down before returning. I went straight to the police station and had them help check the rental situation around Wenhua Jiayuan to see who had moved in recently, and I locked onto him very quickly."

Hu Yifei gritted her teeth: "It's definitely Scumbag Zeng; even running away, he does it so sneakily."

Lin Wanyu looked at Zhao Yang, her eyes shining: "Haha, Brother Yang, you're amazing. We were just too anxious and didn't analyze it properly."

"That's for sure." Hu Yifei said carelessly, "Otherwise, he wouldn't be the Chief Prosecutor. By the way, Brother Yang, where is Scumbag Zeng hiding?"

"We're almost there, it's in that residential compound up ahead." Zhao Yang pointed forward.

Hu Yifei rubbed her eyes: "That compound... it seems quite chaotic, with all sorts of messy people living there."

"But it's cheap." Zhao Yang said in a low voice, "I had a friend check; Zeng Xiaoxian's credit card was stolen."

"Ah? He's so unlucky." Hu Yifei was shocked.

Lin Wanyu pursed her lips: "Teacher Zeng is so pitiful."

"What's pitiful about it?" Hu Yifei snorted, "He deserves it."

...

The three walked for about twenty minutes and finally arrived outside the door of Zeng Xiaoxian's residence. Zhao Yang knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Zeng Xiaoxian's voice came from inside.

Hu Yifei and Lin Wanyu exchanged a glance and whispered: "It's him."

Zhao Yang said loudly: "Open the door, water meter check."

Zeng Xiaoxian's impatient voice came from inside: "Water meter check? What water meter check? Wait..."

Zhao Yang patted Hu Yifei's shoulder, pointed at the door, and then clenched his fist tightly. Hu Yifei understood and stood by the door. Zhao Yang pulled Lin Wanyu to the side.

Click!

The door opened, and Zeng Xiaoxian poked half his body out, then immediately saw Hu Yifei's sneering face. He immediately widened his eyes: "Hu Yifei?"

Hu Yifei gritted her teeth: "Zeng Xiaoxian!"

Zeng Xiaoxian's face fell: "How did you find this place?"

"Don't worry about how I found it, get in there." Hu Yifei kicked him.

"Ah! Why are you hitting people?" Zeng Xiaoxian screamed and rolled into the room.

Hu Yifei also rushed in.

Zhao Yang silently closed the door and smiled slightly at Lin Wanyu: "Let's go, let's wait over there."

Listening to the screams coming from inside, Lin Wanyu had an expression of mourning: "Won't Teacher Zeng be beaten up badly?"

"Don't worry about it." Zhao Yang laughed, "Hu Yifei wouldn't bear to beat him up badly."

"Huh?" Lin Wanyu was stunned, then suddenly realized, "You mean, Feifei has... a crush on Teacher Zeng?"

"Of course." Zhao Yang laughed, "Otherwise, given Hu Yifei's personality, if someone else had forcibly kissed her, their funeral would have already passed by now."

Lin Wanyu realized: "Haha, I thought Teacher Zeng had an unrequited crush."

Zhao Yang looked at the tightly closed door and said: "Maybe today, brute force will create a miracle, and the words in Zeng Xiaoxian's stomach will be beaten out by Hu Yifei's fists."

Imagining that scene, Lin Wanyu couldn't help but laugh.

She followed beside Zhao Yang, walked outside the apartment, and kept secretly tilting her head to look at him.

Zhao Yang turned his head, "I say, Wanyu, have you been with Zeng Xiaoxian for too long and learned his sneakiness? If you want to look at a handsome guy, just look openly. We're so familiar now, I won't mind."

Lin Wanyu's face turned bright red with embarrassment, but she still turned her head and asked cautiously: "Brother Yang, I'm just a little curious. Seeing that your resume is so rich, can you tell me, besides work, do you have any hobbies?"

Zhao Yang was stunned, then laughed: "My hobby is to see all the beauty in the world."

"Ah?" Lin Wanyu looked puzzled, "I don't quite understand."

"It's good that you don't understand." Zhao Yang smiled, "You're still young."

Lin Wanyu was stunned and made a face: "I'm not young anymore. Actually, I've heard my daddy mention you."

"Your father is the Chairman of Lin's International Bank, right? Does he know you're in Magic City?"

Lin Wanyu showed an "as I expected" expression: "I knew you had figured out my identity. You won't tell my daddy, will you?"

"Your father asked someone to inquire about you from me. But I will keep it a secret for you."

"Thank you, Brother Yang." Lin Wanyu sighed with relief.

"However... your dad seems to have stopped all your credit cards, right?" Zhao Yang laughed, "You're earning your living expenses by working now?"

Lin Wanyu pouted: "Yes, and I don't dare reveal my true identity when I work."

"For example, working as a cleaner at the bar downstairs? Or working the night shift?"

Lin Wanyu nodded, her expression becoming even more depressed.

Zhao Yang clicked his tongue: "No wonder I keep seeing you with dark circles under your eyes lately. The Young Miss of Lin's International Bank doing these jobs is a waste of talent."

"There's no other way." Lin Wanyu said helplessly, "Since I've run away, I have to be independent."

"I'm short of help here; can you come and assist me?"

"Me?" Lin Wanyu was stunned, "Brother Yang, I haven't passed the civil service exam."

Zhao Yang couldn't help but laugh: "What authority do I have to let you into the system? I'm short of a private asset management manager to help me manage real estate, stocks, bonds, and things like that. I'm very busy with work now and really don't have the time. With your education, you shouldn't have a problem doing this, right?"

"Ah?" Lin Wanyu was stunned, "Brother Yang, you aren't joking, are you? I don't have the relevant Aptitude."

Zhao Yang waved his hand: "This is a private employment relationship; I don't look at those Aptitude. I think that with your family's influence, doing this won't be a problem."

"But stocks, bonds, and those things require decision-making, I'm afraid I'll lose money for you."

Zhao Yang smiled: "You don't need to make decisions. For the next three years, you just need to operate according to the results I predict, and it won't be far off, so you won't lose money."

"Brother Yang, I still don't quite understand. If you already have the prediction plan, what do you need me to do?"

Zhao Yang checked the time and said: "How about this, you come to my place and you'll understand. Even if I have the plan, I really don't have that much time."

Lin Wanyu pointed towards the door: "What about them?"

"I'll send a text message to tell them we're going to get a late-night snack."

"That works."

Afterwards, Zhao Yang took Lin Wanyu back to his residence. Lin Wanyu looked at the interior decoration of the villa, her eyes getting brighter and brighter: "Brother Yang, who designed the decoration here?"

"I designed it myself."

Lin Wanyu gave a thumbs up: "Luxurious and understated, with unique craftsmanship; so you're also an artist."

"Alright, come over and see your future workload." Zhao Yang said while opening the computer, clicking on financial accounts, and saying, "This is the Shanghai market, this is the Shenzhen market, this is the Hong Kong stock market, this is the bond market, and there are a few futures. I've already used automated software tools, but some manual processing is still needed. But I'm very busy with work now, and it's really hard to find enough time."

Looking at the strings of numbers in the financial accounts, even though Lin Wanyu came from Lin's International Bank and had seen big money, she still felt dizzy.

She knew Zhao Yang was rich, but this was too rich! And this was all personal property, not company property! Like various richest people who claim to have a certain net worth, that's all valuation of company shares, which cannot be easily cashed out.

But these of Zhao Yang's could all be cashed out easily; it was almost all cash! Just from what she saw, Lin Wanyu could be sure that the cash flow Zhao Yang personally controlled was much thicker than her daddy's.

Zhao Yang pointed to the cabinet next to him and said: "There are six drawers of property deeds over there that also need someone to help me manage. Now some of the houses have expired authorization periods for others, and they all need to be renewed; I really don't have time to deal with these things."

"Six drawers of property deeds..." Lin Wanyu patted her chest, "Brother Yang, let me catch my breath first..."
