Extra 4: Ways To Make A Living

Extra 4: Ways To Make A Living

Zhang Haike and I were sitting in the corner of a Starbucks. He came to Hangzhou on a business trip, so he was quite busy.

The overseas Zhang familys properties in Hong Kong had been preserved to this day. The story of how they became wealthy was like something wed only see in a TV show. The Zhang family didnt invest in real estate with any specific purpose in mind, but after many years and several financial crises, anyone who invested in real estate in Hong Kong became incredibly wealthy decades later.

The overseas Zhang family had no obligation to financially support the main branch, but the Zhang familys power system wasnt maintained by money anyway.nove(l)bi(n.)com

But during this time, if someone were to provide the living expenses of these people, the overseas Zhang family should have priority over me.

Zhang Haike and I were starting to look different. It was obvious that he hadnt been trying hard to look like me for the past few years, but we still looked like brothers when we were together. He even looked a little younger than me.

I can make some investments in Hangzhou. Itll save us some trouble if they can support themselves. Meanwhile, you can rest assured that people from the Zhang family wont be so poor as to have to beg for food.

Bullshit. Look at how your patriarch is doing now, I thought to myself.

I wondered what was going on. I took out my phone and looked at his WeChat moments, but he had set his account so that people could only see his posts for the past three days. As a result, anything before that was gone.

Well.

But he was right about something. These people did whatever they wanted to do.

I texted him and asked, How about we set up an online temple for them?

TN Notes:

(1) When people go to temples, they put money in an offering box to show respect to the gods.
