181: Chapter 181 Zhang Wei, the most courageous man, he's here.

Zhao Yang returned to his long-absent villa in Wenhua Jiayuan. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the sound of a vacuum cleaner. He saw Lin Wanyu wearing a floral apron and a blue hat, busy cleaning.

Today was Saturday, and the financial markets were basically closed. It should have been a day off for Lin Wanyu, so Zhao Yang didn't expect to see her here.

Before Zhao Yang could speak, Lin Wanyu spoke first: "Brother Yang, you're finally back. Your workplace is really heartless; you missed both New Year's Day and Spring Festival. You just disappeared like you'd gone missing. If you hadn't told me beforehand, everyone would have thought you'd been arrested too."

Zhao Yang couldn't help but laugh: "I was the one doing the arresting, not the one being arrested. Why aren't you resting today? You could have just hired a housekeeper for this kind of thing."

"I don't feel comfortable letting anyone else clean this room with the computers," Lin Wanyu said with a smile. "If they accidentally damaged the computers while you weren't home, I wouldn't know how to fix it. Brother Yang, you go rest, I'll go make you some tea."

"No need." Zhao Yang opened the refrigerator, took out a can of iced cola, popped it open, and took a gulp. "I've been drinking nothing but tea for the past few months and I'm sick of it, time for a change of pace. How is everyone else doing? Could you ask around and see when everyone is free in the next couple of days? I'd like to treat you and Haizao's family to a meal and get together."

Lin Wanyu sighed: "Haizao is fine with it. It's just... Chen Meijia doesn't live in the apartment anymore."

"Huh? Why?" Zhao Yang was stunned.

He remembered that in the original show, Chen Meijia had witnessed Lu Zhanbo and Lin Wanyu finally getting together, and while touched, she also realized she could no longer escape her feelings for Lü Ziqiao. However, Lü Ziqiao's playboy nature made her feel insecure, so she decided to leave the apartment to find her own happiness in the outside world.

But now, Lu Zhanbo and Lin Wanyu clearly hadn't clicked, so why did Chen Meijia leave? Could it be that Lu Zhanbo and Haizao had made substantial progress during this time?

Lin Wanyu hesitated for a moment, then said: "On Valentine's night, after Lu Zhanbo and Haizao confirmed their relationship, I noticed Chen Meijia seemed a bit unhappy. A few days later, she said goodbye to everyone and said she was going to stay with relatives. I think it might be because Lü Ziqiao hurt her feelings."

Zhao Yang nodded in realization—it was just as he thought.

"How are Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian doing?" Zhao Yang asked again.

"Still the same, bickering and fighting every day." Lin Wanyu covered her mouth and smiled. "Teacher Zeng was so scared of Yifei's beatings that he fled to live in 3602."

Zhao Yang was a bit speechless. He had clearly brought that guy back early, so how did he end up running to 3602 again?

"But I think," Lin Wanyu said with a smile, "even though Yifei and Teacher Zeng fight, their relationship is actually quite good, and they'll probably officially be together soon."

"Hmm..." Zhao Yang nodded, but he was unconvinced in his heart.

The ex-girlfriend Laura was just an elite minion on their path to love; the big boss Nuolan hadn't even appeared yet. Should he hurry up and "cook the rice" for them? Lest they keep dawdling and waste their prime years.

"Also," Lin Wanyu continued, "Lu Zhanbo doesn't live in 3601 anymore either; he moved downstairs to 3502."

"Huh?" Zhao Yang said in surprise, "Have he and Haizao developed that quickly? Are they living together?"

"He said it was for the convenience of coding, so he moved into the studio room. As for whether he'll live with Haizao, I don't know." Lin Wanyu thought about it and smiled, "I doubt it, Haizao is looked after by her sister Hai Ping. And you know what Lu Zhanbo's personality is like."

"That's true." Zhao Yang nodded, "With this case I've been working on, so many people have left all of a sudden."

"Well... not really fewer." Lin Wanyu continued, "Lü Ziqiao brought in a new tenant named Zhang Wei."

"Zhang Wei?" The corners of Zhao Yang's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Alright, the man with the most guts in iPartment had arrived!

"Yeah..." Lin Wanyu looked sympathetic. "Zhang Wei was dragged by Lü Ziqiao to a bachelor party, and he ended up drinking too much and missed his own wedding the next day. Sigh... Lü Ziqiao really ruined the guy."

Speaking of this, she saw Zhao Yang's strange expression and couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Brother Yang, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing..." Zhao Yang pursed his lips and said, "I heard this morning that at a wedding, the bride ran off with her ex-boyfriend, and the groom was named Zhang Wei. It couldn't be the same person, could it?"

"Huh?" Lin Wanyu said in surprise, "My god, even your Procuratorate knows about this? Brother Yang, you must not tell Zhang Wei, he... he might not be able to handle it."

Zhao Yang nodded: "Don't worry, I know how to handle it."

"Also, Lü Ziqiao's aunt Tang Youyou and Yifei's classmate Qin Yumo have moved into 3601. So the apartment is still just as lively."

Zhao Yang smiled: "That's good. I haven't seen everyone in a long time either, let's get the new and old friends together for a get-together in the next couple of days."

"Great, great!" Lin Wanyu clapped her hands excitedly. "By the way, Brother Yang, there's something I wanted to ask you, I almost forgot."

"Go ahead."

Lin Wanyu opened the automated trading software on the computer and said: "I saw in your investment plan that you're about to remove Lins International Bank. Why is that? I checked the information and think Lins International Bank's stock is still quite worth holding. Brother Yang, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious."

Zhao Yang laughed: "According to my predictions, there will be a global financial tsunami in the second half of this year, causing a heavy blow to the world economy. And according to public information, although Lins International Bank has taken some defensive measures against the current economic situation, they haven't realized the severity of the situation and will suffer major losses in the financial tsunami. So, while the stock price is still relatively strong, I'm choosing to cash out and wait until the price hits bottom at the end of the year to buy back in."

"Huh?" Lin Wanyu quickly flipped the trading plan Zhao Yang gave her to the end of the year, and sure enough, she saw the timing to buy Lins International Bank. She nodded with a complex expression: "I understand."

Zhao Yang smiled and patted her shoulder: "If you want to tell your father, I don't mind. Anyway, Lins International Bank isn't the main part of my investment. Go make the call."

Lin Wanyu looked at him with gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Yang."

"We're family, why be so polite? Go ahead, make the call upstairs, I'll finish cleaning the rest."

Lin Wanyu ran to the second-floor balcony, thought for a moment, took out her phone, and dialed her father's number: "Daddy, it's Wanyu."

An angry male voice immediately came over the phone: "Wanyu? Where are you? Why haven't you sent any news home for so long? Do you still have me as a father in your heart, do you still have this home! Come back to me immediately!"

Lin Wanyu waited until he finished speaking, then slowly said: "Daddy, I have a job now and can live independently, so I don't want to go back yet."

The tone on the other end was still stern: "What job are you talking about? What kind of job could you possibly find? This is just nonsense!"

Lin Wanyu smiled slightly: "I'm not talking nonsense. I am now Zhao Yang's private asset management manager."

"Zhao Yang, which Zhao Yang?"

Lin Wanyu said with a grin: "It's that Zhao Yang you told me about before."

"Huh?" An exclamation came from the other side of the phone, vaguely carrying a hint of unbelievable joy. Then, the tone became amiable, a complete contrast to the previous severity: "Good daughter, tell Daddy, how did you meet Zhao Yang? What is your relationship with him?"
