Chapter 34

editor/TLC: serefina & Rin

Lu Chengye didn’t plan to open to open a bar that was too large, but rather one that was just the right size. If the bar was too big, Zhang Hang may not be able to manage it. In addition, there were many local bullies in Kaishi. If Hang Hang’s bar was too sizable, Lu Chengye was afraid of attracting unnecessary trouble. A small and refined bar would be enough to support Hang Hang and allow him to continue honing his skills. Lu Chengye didn’t intend to let Zhang Hang make money by working at a random bar, otherwise he wouldn’t have needed the 50 million. Even including retail expenses, a small bar would only cost 10 or 20 million yuan. As for the rest of the money, Lu Chengye planned to invest it.

In the following days, smartphones and e-commerce software gradually occupied people’s lives. Lu Chengye had long since chosen an e-commerce software company. Currently, it was only in its infancy, and he estimated products hadn’t yet appeared. Now was the time when funding was needed. Of course, the money Zhang Hang has on hand isn’t much of an investment. However, Lu Chengye planned to begin as an angel investor early while the product was still under development in order to occupy a part of the original shares. Of course, Rounds A and B of financing would dilute the original shares he held, but as long as Zhang Hang had 5-10% of the shares and received millions or tens of millions in dividends every year, that was enough. Enough for him to run his own little bar.

Whether it be in money or business, he definitely wouldn’t let Zhang Hang lose out. This way, after Lu Chengye left in a few years, Zhang Hang would be able to take care of himself, and money wouldn’t be a problem even without him.

Before planning the bar, he decided to first resolve the investment matter. So, one day while taking a walk, Zhang Hang was taken directly to the airport by Big Black.

“Big… Big Black?” Zhang hang was slightly baffled, as he had always stayed in Kaishi. What was Big Black doing?

“Woof!” Let’s go to Beijing, Lu Chengye replied.

By this point, Lu Chengye and Zhang Hang had been together for many years and had established a set of communication methods. Even if one could not see, and the other could not speak, they could still communicate with each other through the heart. Zhang Hang soon found out from Lu Chengye’s behavior that his dog wanted to take him to Beijing, so he no longer hesitated. In any case, Big Black had put his ID and bank card into his pocket when he went out, so it was very convenient.

After buying a ticket to Beijing and checking in, Zhang Hang was told that a guide dog could follow their owner onboard the plane, but a valid animal immunization certificate, quarantine certificate, training certificate, vehicle disinfection certificate, and guide dog certificate had to be provided. Lu Chengye was faintly aware that guide dogs could follow their owners onto planes, and had thought that a guide dog certificate was enough. Not having expected so many formalities, he was immediately flabbergasted. He rubbed his head against Zhang Hang, which meant, you take good care of yourself, I’ll go check myself in.

Zhang Hang frowned. He hugged Big Black and whispered, “Big Black, let’s go back to get those documents first. We can get a refund for the ticket and buy a new one.”

He was reluctant to leave Big Black, let alone allow him to be locked in a cage. Big Black wasn’t simply a pet, he was family.

Lu Chengye bared his teeth and thought hard. He found that he was unwilling to let Zhang Hang board the plane alone, and being taken care of by a flight attendant always made him uncomfortable, so he licked Zhang Hang’s finger and agreed. Zhang Hang changed his ticket to the following day, then went home. The next day, they picked up the certificates, checked in, and flew to Beijing.

They soon arrived in Beijing, which could be said to be Lu Chengye’s base of operations. He was much more familiar with Beijing than Kaishi. Zhang Hang followed Lu Chengye all the way to the e-commerce software’s office and knocked on the door directly.

The future chairman with a net worth of 100 million was currently just a CS geek who holed up in his office to develop software yet had headaches all day due to money problems. Zhang Hang was so young that when he proposed to invest, the other party didn’t believe him at all, and it was not until they quickly signed the contract and got the money in place that the future chairman was dumbfounded. Was this a meat pie falling from the sky? It was an investment of 30 million yuan, and the amount of shares requested was small. The company also agreed to dilute these shares in Rounds A and B of investments in the future. Zhang would not have a say over any development, and would only receive dividends. Oh my god… they had been hit by a golden pie!

Of course, signing a contract was not a matter that could be resolved in a day or two. Lu Chengye first took Zhang Hang to a hotel. And of course, they stayed in the hotel Chairman Big Black had gone to often, a high-class hotel that would absolutely not reject guide dogs. However, the best suite with a swimming pool had already been contracted by Lu Chengye himself for the entire year. Big Black had no way to fight against his current self, so he had no choice but to be wronged and live in the second suite. There was no swimming pool, but it was very spacious. He could play inside with Hang Hang.

“Big Black…” Zhang Hang couldn’t see the hotel environment, but the atmosphere surrounding him gave him the sense that the place was not normal. The amount charged when he swiped his card was also astonishing. When booking his room, Big Black stepped on Zhang Hang’s foot seven times, so he booked it for a week to start with. The cost of a week’s stay was equivalent to nearly a year’s salary for others. Zhang Hang had never been to such an extravagant place before, and swiped his card to pay with unease.

“It seems to be very expensive to stay here…” After arriving in the room, Zhang Hang whispered in Big Black’s ear, as if speaking too loudly would shatter the room’s decorations, forcing them to pay compensation for the damage.

“Woof!” It’s very normal, since the best room is occupied by myself. Lu Chengye was a little angry with his past self. He had just reorganized the company and was starting to enjoy himself with the little money he held in his hands. In this way, he no longer struggled as arduously. How much did an imperial suite cost per day? In the end, he booked it year round. His family also lived in Beijing and stayed in a local hotel. It was simply excessive… No, it seemed as if he had invested in this hotel, so he could stay free of charge…

So, he’d now have to pay to stay in his own home? Lu Chengye was a little upset, and led Zhang Hang over to jump onto the super luxurious bed. After being dragged onto the bed by Big Black, Zhang Hang found that the mattress was very comfortable and the sheets were of high quality. His sense of touch was so acute that he couldn’t resist rubbing his hand against them.

He rubbed and rubbed until his entire person was lying on the bed. The bed was unfamiliar but was very comfortable to lie down on. As soon as he laid down, he didn’t want to get up. As Big Black bounced around on the bed, Zhang Hang closed his eyes and felt the softness of the sheets.

“Big Black, it’s so comfortable.” Zhang Hang raised a hand and Lu Chengye, who was jumping about, immediately came to him and licked his palm.

“Woof!” Naturally.

“Big Black, exactly how big is this room…” Zhang Hang couldn’t really believe it. Even if he couldn’t see it, he could distinguish the size of a space based on the reverberations of his voice. This room… was large enough to hear an echo.

“Woof! I’ll show you!

Lu Chengye jumped out of bed and took Zhang Hang to see the bathroom, kitchen, living room, and rooftop. After the walk, Zhang Hang was amazed. This hotel room was bigger than his home, and there was a bathing pool on the roof!

Big Black stood beside the bathing pool and woofed excitedly to Zhang Hang.

“All right…” Sensing Big Black’s happiness, and since Zhang Hang didn’t think he had spent too much money, he allowed it. He rubbed the dog’s ears, then said, “Let’s have dinner first, then we’ll have a bubble bath, okay?”

“Woof! Bubble bath! Big Black’s tail wagged happily.

The hotel, of course, served the customers food and drink based on their preferences. Zhang Hang ordered some light dishes and they were shortly delivered in accordance with his requests. One man and one dog enjoyed themselves. Zhang Hang also tasted the cocktails the hotel provided, which were better than anything he could create.

After eating, he drank another glass of wine. Zhang Hang’s face was slightly red as he lay on the bed with Big Black lying beside him. He was not drunk, but coquettish mode was still turned on. He reached out a hand and played with Big Black’s ears, then whispered, “The cocktails here are very good. If only one day I could mix alcohol of such high quality.”

“Woof.” You make the best wine.

“In Big Black’s eyes, I’m the best at everything. In reality, I’m quite ordinary. The path ahead is still so long, so Big Black must always be by my side.” Zhang Hang turned over and held the dog in his arms. He breathed hot air near Lu Chengye’s ears, which made them itchy.

I may not be able to accompany you for too many years… Lu Chengye didn’t answer with a “woof”, but rubbed his head against Zhang Hang’s face. Knowing that the young man liked to touch his ears, he put them in Zhang Hang’s hands and let him play with them.

“Big Black knows how to make money and is familiar with Beijing…” Zhang Hang said slowly, “Big Black… are you…”

Was he what? When Zhang Hang asked about this, he became stuck. Even if he guessed right, could Big Black answer? It was possible that Big Black was this sort of individual. Could it be true? This speculation would make others think he was crazy, but at this time, Zhang Hang’s mind, stimulated by alcohol, came up with a bold idea: Big Black was a business elite. This was the thing that could explain his knowledge about the crazy devil’s stock, his familiarity with Beijing, and his ability to find a product to invest in.

But… how did Big Black know the lottery’s winning numbers?

Before the development of mobile phone text to speech software, it was very difficult for Zhang Hang to read online novels. He had not been exposed to rebirth novels, and couldn’t imagine defeating heaven and being reborn 10 years in the past. He simply thought that Big Black might have the memory of a past life as a business elite, so he liked to watch the financial channel and knew Beijing. As for knowing the winning lottery numbers, Zhang Hang was unable to find an explanation.

However, his biggest concern wasn’t whether Big Black was human or not, but if Big Black would be able to accompany him for a longer time because of these supernatural powers.

Zhang Hang knew that a Labrador’s lifespan was only 8-10 years, and was afraid to leave Big Black. But, since Big Black was so magical, he would live for many years until Zhang Hang was old and had white hair and wrinkles.

He didn’t need such an amazing room or a lot of money. As long as they lived in their home, he would run a small bar to make money, and Big Black would stay by his side every day just like he did now. They would never separate, not even for a moment. It would be wonderful if they could spend every one of their future days like this.

Zhang Hang looked forward to it very naively as he held Big Black in his arms, and quietly imagined their future days .
