Wang Hong left, leaving only Chen Yang and Wang Qingyue in the room.

"Qingyue, thank you." Chen Yang looked at Wang Qingyue tenderly.

Chen Yang knew that although the thirteen billion was secured by Wang Hong, Wang Qingyue must've played a part in it too.

"No need to thank me. This investment is actually my grandpa's idea; he was just shy about bringing it up himself," Wang Qingyue said modestly.

Her words did have some truth to them.

If Grandpa Wang didn't want to give it, then no one else's words would matter.

In the end, Grandpa Wang was willing to invest in Chen Yang.

Chen Yang chuckled, "Then, thank Grandpa Wang, and thank you too."

This time, Wang Qingyue didn't show modesty; she smiled and nodded, then moved closer to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, you've drunk so much, you must be tired? Let me help you upstairs to rest for a bit."

As she spoke, Wang Qingyue was about to help Chen Yang.

But Chen Yang quietly snaked his arm around Wang Qingyue's waist, and with a slight effort, Wang Qingyue found herself sitting in his lap.

Not prepared for this sudden move, Wang Qingyue's face instantly turned beet red, a flustered and shy expression on her face.

She glanced back at the door to the private room to make sure it was closed before calming down a little.

"What are you doing? What if someone comes in?" Wang Qingyue said shyly.

Chen Yang's face was full of amusement, "Besides your brother, who else would just come in?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingyue didn't say anything more, thinking it made sense.

"You've had a lot to drink, how about resting upstairs with me for a bit?"

After a moment of silence, Wang Qingyue spoke up again.Chen Yang just wanted to hold her, "No need, I'm not drunk, just sitting here to sober up is fine, no problem."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingyue thought Chen Yang was pretending, but upon closer inspection of his state, she realized he really wasn't drunk.

"Your tolerance is impressive, Chen Yang, drinking so much without getting drunk," Wang Qingyue said with a smile.

Chen Yang smiled without saying anything.

"Since you're not drunk, how about going out with me to play a bit? A new martial arts center opened in the county recently, and I want to spar with you," Wang Qingyue said enthusiastically.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang also perked up.

"Sure, it's a good chance to see what you've improved," Chen Yang agreed, nodding.

"Great, let's go early then."

Wang Qingyue immediately stood up from Chen Yang's embrace.

"Alright, let's go."

Chen Yang didn't hesitate, and they quickly stood up and went downstairs together.

"Let's take my car; you've been drinking, I'll drive," Wang Qingyue said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem."

Chen Yang smiled slightly and got into her passenger seat.

With a hum, they set off.

After about ten minutes, the car arrived in front of a martial arts center.

This place was quite remote, surrounded by old neighborhoods, an area Chen Yang rarely visited.

Seeing the newly opened martial arts center, he was quite surprised.

"Opening a martial arts center in the county, the owner must be something else; without some strength, they probably wouldn't dare," Chen Yang said, taking a look at the sign after getting out of the car.

Wang Qingyue also got out of the car, smiling as she responded, "Yes, the head of this center is quite capable, has many disciples, mainly focuses on recruiting students and holding training classes, and many children from nearby communities have signed up."

After hearing this, Chen Yang nodded slightly and asked, "Are you familiar with the owner?"

"Hmm... not too familiar. I've only been here two or three times, but it's coincidentally that every time I met the owner, so I occasionally chat and learn some basic information about the center," Wu Kexin replied.

Chen Yang found the situation odd but didn't say much, "I see, well, let's go inside then."

"Okay, great."

Wang Qingyue nodded and led Chen Yang inside.

Since the martial arts center was newly opened, the decor and equipment were all very new, giving off a high-end feel.

Once in, the front desk was centrally located in the passageway.

The once wide corridor was divided into two parts by the front desk.

According to the hanging signs, the left side was the private room area, and the right was the common area.

Meaning clearly, the left private rooms were individual, and the right common area was a public practice hall.

"Hello, would you like a private room or the common area?"

Chen Yang and Wang Qingyue approached the front desk, where the staff dressed like a martial artist smilingly asked Wang Qingyue.

Wang Qingyue looked back at Chen Yang, asking, "Chen Yang, do you want a private room or the common area?"

"Hmm... the common area; last time was a private room, so let's see what the common area is like this time," Chen Yang thought for a moment and said.

It wasn't Chen Yang's first time going to a martial arts center with Wang Qingyue.

The first time was in the provincial city, and they went to a private room then.

"Alright, let's take the common area then." Wang Qingyue nodded, and then went to pay the fee at the front desk.

After paying, the front desk gave them sweatbands and some hand-wrapping tape.

Wang Qingyue accepted them and then pulled Chen Yang towards the right area.

Walking along the right corridor for about ten meters, the space opened up into a two to three hundred square meter area.

It was like a basketball court.

The space had many training apparatuses, such as wooden dummies and arenas.

There were even various wooden weapons.

It resembled an ancient military training ground.

"There are quite a few people here; business seems good," Chen Yang scanned the area, noticing there was a decent crowd.

However, it wasn't overcrowded, as there was enough space around each person.

"Yes, not too many or too few people, just so it's not noisy but not silent either," Wang Qingyue nodded, then pointed to a nearby empty ring, "Let's go there."

Following her suggestion, Chen Yang looked in that direction and nodded, "Alright."

The two of them walked over together.

The rings in this hall could be used freely.

Seeing no one there, Chen Yang and Wang Qingyue chose that ring.

"Should we go straight in, or prepare something?" Once at the ring, Chen Yang asked with a smile if Wang Qingyue needed to prepare.

"No need to prepare, but we should wear these, sweat protection," Wang Qingyue passed Chen Yang a headband given by the front desk.

Chen Yang took a look at it, and wearing it as Wang Qingyue suggested.

"Are we good to go now?" Chen Yang asked.

"Yes, we're good."

With her headband on and looking sporty, Wang Qingyue was ready to go.

"Miss Wang, you're here again. Would you like to practice some real combat today as usual?"

Just as Chen Yang and Wang Qingyue were about to step into the ring, a voice suddenly chimed in.

Together, Chen Yang and Wang Qingyue turned in the direction of the voice to see a scruffily bearded man with a slightly world-weary face smiling as he approached them.
