Chapter 3 The Newly Minted Millionaire

  Looking at the phone, a black ghost shadow suddenly appeared, and it also emitted a terrifying scream, which scared Fang Wei and Zhang Xianghong's faces pale, and they quickly hid behind Ye Nan.

  The shadow rolled on the ground, let out a shrill cry, and shook Fang Wei and Zhang Xianghong so much that they became dizzy and fell to the ground. Even Ye Nan felt a wave of dizziness.

  He hastily took out a few more talismans from the pocket next door and threw them on the three of them. Fang Wei and Zhang Xianghong then came to, crawling slowly from the ground.

  That shadow saw this move was useless and flipped over to pounce on him, seemingly wanting to regain face.

  Ye Nan was already prepared and with a brush, another talisman to expel evil flew out. The resentful ghost seemed quite agile and swiftly dodged it by drifting down towards the ground.

  Right after that, it slid over along the floor, seemingly wanting to give Ye Nan a slap.

  Ye Nan smiled and took out a talisman, "Whoosh..." and slapped it over. The vengeful ghost hastily flashed back again, but this time was still grazed by the golden light of the talisman from the side, let out a miserable cry and another burst of black smoke emerged.

  That vengeful spirit saw that the situation was not good, this kid is too formidable, it's better to hurry up and run away, following the momentum he drifted backwards, planning to escape.

  Ye Nan chuckled and pointed with his left hand, pulling out the Soul-Taming Tower from his pocket. He pointed forward and shouted: "Retrieve..."

  The pagoda floated in mid-air, and with a flash of light forward, it shot out a wisp of golden light, shining on the resentful ghost who was about to walk through the wall. The resentful ghost was illuminated by the black smoke that burst forth from its body, letting out a "squeak" of miserable cries. In less than two seconds, it was sucked into the pagoda with a "whoosh".

  Ye Nan put away the Town Soul Tower, patted off the dust on his body, turned around and smiled at the two wooden men who were staring at him with wide eyes and admiration: "Alright, it's done!"

  Those two wooden men came back to their senses, Zhang Xianghong's face was full of joy, and he ran over with a thud: "Mr. Ye, have you cleaned up that thing?"

  Ye Nan smiled mysteriously like a Taoist in a dream: "Don't worry, Zhang. It's all taken care of! From now on, you can rest easy..."

  Zhang Xianghong was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly: "Mr. Ye, you've worked hard, you've worked hard..."

  Ye Nan smiled and nodded: "Mr. Zhang is being polite, very polite..."

  After a while, Zhang Xianghong was still immersed in excitement, Ye Nan pretended to cough twice, looked at his watch and said: "Director Zhang, it's already very late. Since the matter has been settled, we will go back first!"

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianghong finally came to his senses and hastily said with a smile: "Mr. Ye and Mr. Ye have both worked hard, and your stomachs must be a bit empty. I'll invite you two to have some supper, how about it?"

  Ye Nan was preoccupied with the one million, thinking to herself that as long as she got one million, she would be at peace. She hastily made an excuse, saying: "It's already very late, let's head back first!"

  Zhang Xianghong was able to make the company so big, and he's also a sensible person. He quickly pulled out a check from his pocket and handed it over, smiling softly: "Mr. Ye, this is a reward of one million yuan, please accept it first! However, in order to express my gratitude, I would like to invite Mr. Ye and Mr. Ye to have a few drinks with me, please don't decline again!"

  Ye Nan felt relieved now that he had a million in hand, and at around 10 o'clock, his stomach was indeed empty. He looked at Fang Wei, sought his opinion, and then happily agreed!

  The two of them got drunk and full, and only then did they leave with a satisfied heart under Zhang Xianghong's enthusiastic sendoff.

  Back home, Ye Nan held that million-dollar check, looking at it again and again, so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

  The next day, when Fang Wei came to knock on the door and called him to exercise, he found Ye Nan staring at him with a pair of rabbit eyes, bright red and looking at him, scaring Fang Wei: "Nan Zi, what's wrong with you? Didn't sleep well last night?"

  Ye Nan said in a bad mood: "It's not that I didn't sleep well, it's just that I didn't sleep at all. This is the first time we've made so much money, damn it! I couldn't sleep!"

  Fang Wei was taken aback, bursting into loud laughter: "Look at you, this little guy is so excited over a hundred million, ah... but it's okay, you'll get used to it later!"

  Ye Nan thought to himself, this is just the first million he earned by himself, if he can earn so much in one night, then he will definitely be able to earn more in the future. How could he get excited over just one million? He quickly threw the check under his pillow, brushed his teeth and washed his face, changed into new clothes, and followed Fang Wei out for a run.

  After several months of training, Ye Nan's body can be said to have become much stronger, whether it is the flexibility of his body or the strength of his muscles, as well as his physical strength and explosive power, all of which have made significant progress compared to before.

  Ye Nan used to look like a gentle and refined young man, but now his demeanor and temperament seem to have changed greatly. As a whole, he looks bright and handsome, full of sunshine and vitality, making people feel extraordinary at first glance!

  Ye Nan followed Fang Wei, panting, and habitually glanced at his watch. They had been running continuously for over an hour. At this time of day, he should be stopping to get ready for work.

  Thinking of this, Ye Nan couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, shook his head and quickly threw out that inexplicable feeling of depression from his mind, so as not to affect his mood. He continued to follow Fang Wei at a steady pace, running behind him, feeling the muscles all over his body stretching out with each movement, sweat continuously seeping out, it was a very refreshing feeling!

  After running for another ten minutes or so, the two of them finally stopped. Fang Wei wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and smiled: "The newly-minted millionaire doesn't have to go to work anymore. What are your plans now? Are you going to start enjoying life or continue working?"

  "Newly-minted millionaire?" Ye Nan rubbed the back of his head, as if saying to himself, indeed he was now a genuine millionaire. He chuckled self-deprecatingly and said: "Starting to enjoy life with just one million is too low a threshold, isn't it? I'd better keep making money, when I feel like I can't spend it all, then I'll start enjoying myself!"

  "That's good, I thought you'd be satisfied with this million, that's true! You see... Fang Wei pointed to the distant sky, his face full of longing: "This sky is so vast, so infinite. Perhaps we can't break out of the earth, but just this vast space is worth our constant exploration, our constant pursuit..."
