School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"Of course!" Chen Zihan nodded eagerly, "But if there's a limit down, wouldn't we lose money?"

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded, "That's the risk of playing the stock market, and even more so when using leverage in it. A slight mishap, and you might completely crumble."

"You seem to know a lot?" Chen Zihan asked curiously.

"I've read some books about it," Xiao Han replied with a slight smile.

"Xiao Han, I find myself understanding you less and less." Chen Zihan looked up at Xiao Han and said earnestly, "You used to seem introverted and silent. But now, you've undergone such a big change. Not only did your academic results jump from last to first place, but even your personality has changed drastically, which is incredible."

"Is that so?" Xiao Han laughed, "Maybe it's just a superficial change."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Does that mean there's been a change inside you, too?" Chen Zihan asked with a beaming look at Xiao Han.

"To know that, you'd have to step into my heart," Xiao Han said, blinking at Chen Zihan. Discover hidden stories at empire

Chen Zihan reached out and took Xiao Han's hand, the two gazing deeply into each other's eyes. Xiao Han looked at Chen Zihan's delicate face and suddenly felt a rush of emotion. Chen Zihan also looked steadily at Xiao Han, biting her lip gently. Then she looked at Xiao Han, "Will... will you be good to me?"

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Han nodded, "I will!"

"How long will you be good to me?" Chen Zihan asked.

"Haven't I already said it?" Xiao Han said seriously, "As long as you don't leave, I'll never part from you!"

"Me too!" Chen Zihan nodded, "As long as you don't leave, I shall never part."

Chen Zihan was moved by Xiao Han's sincerity. Her feelings for Xiao Han also escalated in an instant. They held each other's hands tightly.

"Zi Han, maybe I can't give you the life you want now, but I believe I will be able to in the future," Xiao Han said sincerely.

"Uh-huh!" Chen Zihan nodded, "The life I want is simple, a warm home, steady jobs, stable income, that's enough. I'm actually not suited for a life of great wealth."

Xiao Han smiled, "Even though I understand what you mean, I must work hard to bring you a prosperous life."

They sat in the café for a long time, until after ten o'clock, when Chen Zihan's mother called. Only then did they get up.

"Let's go, I'll take you home," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!" Chen Zihan nodded.

Xiao Han stood up, took Chen Zihan's coat, and then helped her put it on, displaying the gentle side of a man, which touched Chen Zihan deeply. Girls of this age are most easily moved because they are still in the naive stage of youthful emotions. Any trivial matter can touch their hearts.

Is this why middle-aged men often win the hearts of young girls more easily? Because middle-aged men tend to handle matters of the heart with more sensitivity. As such, they are more easily able to win a young girl's affection. How many girls fall under the jeans of middle-aged uncles, if not for the subtlety and depth of the older men's emotions?

Although Xiao Han was not an uncle, he had a mature heart. He had experienced life's vicissitudes, the hardship of losing his father, and a poignant experience that left deep markers on his soul. These experiences caused him to grow and mature, gradually turning him into a boy with an adult's heart.

"Xiao Han, the New Year is coming up," Chen Zihan spoke up.

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Han nodded, "Will you be spending the New Year in LJ City?"

"No!" Chen Zihan shook her head, "I'll be going back to my hometown for the New Year!"

"Where is your hometown?" Xiao Han asked curiously.

"It's in Lincheng," Chen Zihan smiled at Xiao Han, "I'm from Lincheng."

"Is that so?" Xiao Han looked at Chen Zihan in surprise, not having realized that this girl was from Lincheng. Lincheng wasn't too far from LJ City, only a little over two hundred kilometers away. By car, it's just two and a half hours.

"Uh-huh!" Chen Zihan nodded, her playful look at Xiao Han sparkling with a triumphant gleam.

LJ city is located between the provincial city and Lincheng. Lincheng is a city with pleasant scenery. Although its economy is not well-developed, the residents' happiness index is quite high. The pace of life for the residents is relatively slow. Thus, it can be said that Lincheng is a livable city.

"I didn't expect you to be from Lincheng, girl," Xiao Han said with a chuckle.

"Of course!" Chen Zihan grinned and laughed.

The two chatted and laughed all the way as they walked.

Xiao Han saw Chen Zihan back to the entrance of her residential complex and then leisurely walked back to his home.

......

The Hanmen Training Class also stopped teaching during the winter break. January 13th was the last class. After this class, the Hanmen Training Class officially went on vacation.

The results of several exams came out, and the students of Hanmen Training Class had improved a lot. This made many parents very satisfied. Although the monthly tuition fee was one thousand yuan, they felt it was well spent. With the added endorsement from Li Hengzhong and the support of the Education Bureau, the reputation of Hanmen Training Class absolutely exploded.

It was said that only having a hundred spots in the Hanmen Training Class irritated many parents. If they were going to run it, why not expand it? Therefore, many parents were very unsatisfied and people would check the situation at the entrance of Hanmen Training Class from time to time, hoping to find someone in charge to slip a red envelope to and pull some strings.

After all, there was only half a year left until the college entrance exam. They hoped to use this half a year to improve their children's grades.

After trying a few times, the parents were disappointed. However, they did not give up but instead took the initiative to find students of Hanmen Training Class, hoping they would quit Hanmen to make room for their children. But, most people were unwilling. Only a very small fraction of them, forced by circumstances, had to drop out.

Some were coerced by their superiors, while others were tempted by money. Anyway, they had their reasons.

However, Xiao Han never interfered with these matters. He was solely focused on his teaching. Everything else had nothing to do with him. Who came or who left, Xiao Han did not care. Actually, Hanmen Training Class was just a stepping stone for Xiao Han. It was also an initial accumulation of capital.

The hardships of starting a business always begin small.

Now, Hanmen Technology had taken off, and the business of the Apple Store was thriving, growing day by day.

Xiao Han understood that it was now necessary for him to find someone to replace him quickly. He would not be able to come back to teach at Hanmen every weekend after finishing his college entrance exam. Therefore, he had to find someone soon to take over his position. After all, Hanmen Training Class was still a substantial income, one he couldn't give up.

Hanmen Technology.

As Yang Lu said, business was booming at the end of the year. At the end of the year, workers returning to the coastal city from their jobs everywhere flocked into the Apple Store to purchase Apple products. Although most of the people had phones that were usable and sufficient, they all thought that holding a Samsung, Huawei, or Xiaomi phone just wasn't prestigious enough.

Therefore, they would rather sacrifice two months, or even more, of their salary to buy a phone. This was solely not to lose face in front of others.

During the last few days of the year, the average daily sales were around 300,000 yuan. For a city like LJ, this amount was truly astonishing. And this 300,000 yuan in sales did not even include wholesale.

Since LJ city had an authorized store, some distributors in LJ city had to get their stock from Xiao Han. Otherwise, they couldn't obtain Apple products through regular channels. But where the goods were sourced from didn't matter. Even if the goods were from Xiao Han, the price did not change at all.

There was a fear of shipping issues when goods were sent from the provincial city, so naturally, the distributors were more than happy to get their stock from LJ city.

"Xiao Han, you have a lot of shipments to deal with at the end of the year," Li Dapang said excitedly.

"Pretty good," Xiao Han replied, playing with a computer. He was searching Google for the most prestigious institutions in the world currently researching cellular biology. Xiao Han was ostensibly a part-time employee at Hanmen Technology, but in reality, he was the boss of Hanmen Technology. So when Xiao Han sat in the store playing on a computer, Yang Lu never said anything.

However, the store's employees had an issue with it. They didn't say anything on the surface, but they were quite resentful of such behavior internally.

Currently, there are only three institutions in the world with the most prestige in cell biology research. The first is the Houston Biological Institute in the United States, the second is the UK Cell Research Institute, and the third is the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The United States, United Kingdom, and China have deep research in cell research.

"What are you looking at, kid?" Li Dapang asked curiously when he saw Xiao Han was preoccupied and leaned in closer, only to find Xiao Han browsing foreign websites. He asked in surprise, "Can you understand all of that, kid?"

"Sort of," Xiao Han shook his head, then said, "I can probably understand most of it."

Actually, Xiao Han could understand almost everything unless it involved some highly specialized terms that required careful research. Otherwise, nothing on those websites was too difficult for Xiao Han.

"What are you doing browsing those websites, kid?" Li Dapang asked, puzzled. "It looks pretty profound to me. If I'm not mistaken, it has to do with biology, right?"

"That's right," Xiao Han nodded and said, "It's indeed about the field of biology. What, are you interested too?"

"I'm not interested," Li Dapang quickly shook his head.

"This stuff might be a great help in college entrance exams," Xiao Han said with a grin.

"Still not interested!" Li Dapang shook his head and said, "I'm not all that interested in the college entrance exam. To me, the exam is just a formality. My parents are now quite satisfied with my current income. Hehe, if I told them that I own a share in this store, they would probably be astounded."
