Zhang Che felt refreshed when he woke up.

He looked at the time, and suddenly realized it was already the first of January, Year 37 of the new age!

A year had passed before he realized it!

However, no matter if it was during his previous life or his current life, Zhang Che was not excited about the Gregorian New Year. He wasnt a government employee anyway.

The common people only acknowledged the traditional Chinese New Year, considering it the true beginning of the year.

Hey, Zhang Xiaoche, the sun is shining on your butt already. Why arent you up yet!? Huang Tielans voice suddenly came from outside.

That girl had a day off from school and had come home.

Zhang Ches lips curled up into a faint smile. He called out in response and got up, put on his clothes, and walked out.

Outside the room, before Zhang Che could say a thing, Huang Tielan pulled on him and walked out in a hurry.

Eh, wait, wait! Even if were going out, you have to wait for me to have my breakfast first, my goodness. Zhang Che hurriedly cried out. He blanked out for a moment, then asked, Hmm? Right, wheres my mother and the others? Why are you the only one in the villa?

Huang Tielan rolled her eyes at him, saying, Look at you. Have you forgotten what day it is today?

Zhang Che was taken aback.-What day is it today? Isnt it the Western New Year? Whats the big deal? Why is everyone not at home?-

Well, the elemental queen was still in her own room as usual, playing chess. However, Zhang Che didnt view her as a human. Naturally she didnt count.

Seeing Zhang Che had indeed forgotten, Huang Tielan said in displeasure, Ai, what kind of memory do you have? Today is your uncles wedding day! We have to go be their groomsman and bridesmaid. Lets quickly go meet up with them at the hotel. Auntie and the others are already helping out over there.

Zhang Che finally remembered after Huang Tielan reminded him. His uncle had come to an agreement with his girlfriends family and had set their wedding date for today.

-Ai, I have truly been too busy recently, forgetting all about this!-

When he came back last night, Sun Lan saw how tired her son was and knew he had been very busy outside. She didnt remind him, worried that shed affect his rest.

Why didnt you come wake me up sooner? Weve probably missed the time to pick up the bride! Zhang Che was someone who loved liveliness. Naturally he was irritated at this.

Huang Tielan smiled, Look at the time! Its only 9 AM. Theres still an hour to go before picking up the bride. We can still make it in time. Quickly come with me to the hotel and meet up with the others. Dont delay any longer!

What was he waiting for, then? Zhang Che quickly reacted and pulled Huang Tielan down instead. He went to the villa next door and told Liu Gang to drive them directly to the hotel.

When they arrived at the hotel, they changed their clothes in a hurry, freshened up, drove to another hotel nearby, and picked up the bride. The things to do in the morning were finally done!

As the groomsman and bridesmaid, however, Zhang Che and Huang Tielan remained very busy afterwards. They were continuously called over here and there to help out.

When the wedding banquet finally ended in the afternoon, Zhang Che finally got a breather. He sighed, Ai, I feel like this is more tiring than hunting exotic beasts, and were only acting as the bridesmaid and groomsman. Who knows how busy well be when were the ones getting married

When he was done speaking, he saw Huang Tielan looking at him with a dark expression. She asked coldly, What, youre finding it troublesome? Then we dont have to get married in the future! Well just stay like this, what do you think?

Of course not! Im going to marry you no matter how tiring it is! Hmm, how about this? Ill go to your place and propose marriage sometime soon and try to get our matter settled this year. What do you think?

Zhang Ches desire to live was incredibly strong. He immediately reversed the situation cheekily.

Tch, whos going to marry you Huang Tielan giggled. She pushed Zhang Che away and went to look for the bride and the others to chat.

That night, at his uncles wedding room, Zhang Che called his aunt and uncle over and gave them two documents.

The siblings received it doubtfully, a look of shock on their face once they opened it to take a look.

Xi Muyun looked at Zhang Che, hurriedly rejecting the gift, How can this do, Xiaoche? The store was brought up, all thanks to you. Were already very thankful to you for offering us such a high salary. How can we accept shares in it, too?

The contents of the documents were very simple. Zhang Che had taken out his shares of Premium House and given the two ten percent each.

Xi Wenshan was also rejecting the offer, firm on his stance to not sign the document.

Zhang Che waved his hand, saying, Listen to me, Uncle, Auntie. I dont have the time to look after the beast card shop at all. It has always been thanks to you two helping manage it. Although were family, we should be clear on that account.

I have not taken care of any matters of the shop, with the exception of providing beast cards. Almost everything was left to you. Giving you shares of the store was only reasonable. Take those corporations, for example. Even the managers are holding onto shares, right? Not to mention, were family! The beast card shop has developed at your hands. So, please, I ask that you accept the shares, or my mother will give me a scolding.

Seeing Zhang Che speaking so sincerely, the Xi siblings finally agreed to the proposition.

In fact, Zhang Che had considered giving them shares to the store long ago, but he had not found a good occasion to do so. Taking the good opportunity that was his uncles wedding day, he decided to add to the occasion.

Truthfully speaking, to the current Zhang Che, let alone that little bit of shares in the beast card shop, how valuable was the whole store to him?

Zhang Che didnt give them more shares to the store because he understood the principle of moderation. The siblings had given their all to the store. GIving them ten percent of the shares was reasonable. It wouldnt be a good matter if he gave them too much.

If possible, he would give them the whole store. It was no big deal. That little bit of profit was not comparable to the income he received from cooperating with the Huang familys herbal research institute. It was not even worth looking at!

The New Years Day of the 37th Year of the new age went by quickly with the celebrations and all the work they had to do.

The next day, Zhang Che went to look for Huang Tielan and told her, There shouldnt be any problems if you request leave from school until this school term ends, right?

Huang Tielan had already thought of something when she heard Zhang Che asking this. She smiled brightly and nodded, Dont worry. Ive pretty much learned everything I could from the university. Whats most important is the practical experience to raise my beast card cultivating skills even higher. Its no problem even if I took leave for this whole month. The teachers will agree to it.

Zhang Che nodded and said, Thats good. Ill go with you to request a leave of absence from the school, then well go on a trip to the beast world once more and try to help you achieve Tier Six beastmaster!

Hah, thats great! Lets go quickly then!

Huang Tielan was overjoyed at the proposition. She knew Zhang Che was talking about this matter, and immediately jumped for joy, pulling Zhang Che along and rushed over to Bei Du University.

At noon, Zhang Che and Huang Tielan arrived at the southern suburbs of Bei Du where a spatial gateway was, driven there by Liu Gang in a beastly car, and they entered the beast world.

Their objective this time was very clear. Zhang Che would try his best to help Huang Tielan raise her beastmaster Tier!

At the same time, hed use the opportunity to hunt some powerful mid-tier exotic beasts and let Huang Tielan obtain more powerful subdued beasts. That way, Zhang Che would feel more assured of her safety!
