Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 925 - 691: An’an Heads South

Hangzhou, West Lake.

An’an dressed casually, accompanied by her youthful high ponytail.

No doubt, she’s a little beauty.

She and Jiang Tang strolled together by West Lake, and took out a phone to snap pictures here and there.

Occasionally encountering young couples, the two would help by taking photos for them as well.

"An’an, this West Lake is so beautiful, isn’t it?"

"Do you like it? If you do, buy a small condo by the lake. After we graduate from college, we can always come back to watch sunsets over Little West Lake."

"That’s not necessary, we can’t come back that often."

"If you like it, just buy it. Why worry about how often you can come?"

An’an particularly indulges in doing as she pleases; she buys what she wants without needing to consider whether she likes it or not.

Jiang Tang has long been trying to adapt to her spending habits, struggling to get used to them over time.

Just like when she wanted to go to a bar to party, she had her dad buy the biggest bar in Magic City with a few financial targets.

Or when she wanted to treat foreigners to meals, she immediately opened twelve foreign-themed restaurants.

Free meals for ten years.

With such spending habits, no one at home says anything to her, leaving an ordinary person like Jiang Tang perplexed.

You have to know that in ordinary families, buying a few more gifts during the New Year is all there is.

Parents will always have something to say, let alone the likes of her.

"An’an, are you planning to date anyone in college?"

"I don’t know, it depends on whether I meet someone like my dad."

An’an said, "My mom and dad met when they were very young, from the same village. They got married right after my mom graduated high school, then went to Beijing to strive, all the way to now. In college, while there are people who marry right after graduation, very few make it to the end."

"Your family might have high expectations for your dating. I’m different; my parents don’t have many demands."

"Perhaps!"

An’an didn’t dwell on this topic much; she and Jiang Tang took a photo together under Leifeng Tower.

It was a little keepsake of their visit to Hangzhou.

Later in the evening, they went to see the dazzling lights of the internet world.

Working extra hours till early morning is normal; if the salary is high, it’s fine.

If the salary is low, the boss especially loves discussing dreams with you.

An’an, feeling like an ordinary girl, also went around buying stinky tofu from street vendors and looked at the little flower clips by the roadside.

She liked many things, just as she liked to try everything.

As for the hotel they stayed in at night, it cost over fifty thousand per day, but when the sun rose, it offered the most beautiful view of West Lake.

She also had a haircut here that cost over five thousand.

The stylist asked her a lot of questions, only to find he just needed to cut off a bit of her split ends.

No design, no creativity.

5888 for trimming a bit of her hair, and she was very pleased.

While Jiang Tang got her once straight long hair cut into a trendy "first love" style.

The stylist even wanted to add An’an on WeChat, but she refused.

Her family had their own hairstylist, with an annual salary of millions just to serve their family.

Her dad never went outside to get his hair cut.

By noon, after enjoying a meal of authentic hairy crabs in Hangzhou, they headed to Lingyin Temple.

There are many scenic spots in China, including quite a few renowned Buddhist sites, with Lingyin Temple being one of the notable ones.

After An’an prayed for her parents’ blessings, they drove for over two hours to the Qiandao Lake scenic area.

July falls within the summer vacation, with many college girls here sketching, painting large cranes that flew by, expressing a chapter of the times.

An’an loved martial arts and traditional instruments from a young age.

Only as she grew older did she begin to enjoy chess, qin, calligraphy, and painting. She and Jiang Tang also spread the white sketch paper, intending to be like these college girls.

Painting the calmness of an era.

Whether it’s drinking tea or painting, all are ways to cultivate inner peace.

If one’s heart is quiet, everything in the world is peaceful.

If one’s heart is restless, everything is agitated.

It’s something her dad taught her since childhood. An’an was more talented in painting than Er Piya.

Er Piya’s talents were entirely in academics and she couldn’t get interested in the arts.

Why not just spend millions to buy a couple of genuine artworks to display at home?

Southbound migratory birds, northbound crabapples.

Time flows like spring, soothing the heart most.

Some people simply love painting because they enjoy it.

While some only paint because they are bored.

An’an was probably one of those who did it out of boredom; many things were hard to pique much interest for her.

This is because she’s experienced too much.

Sitting together with the girls, An’an patiently asked people how she could paint beautifully.

At this moment, she was just an ordinary and curious student.

By dusk, she even developed the idea of buying a small island and building her own retirement paradise.

She knew there were many beautiful places in the world, having traveled abroad often with her dad from a young age.

Formerly islands were freely purchasable, not so much now.

Managing one’s own island could involve burying treasures and creating one’s own adventure haven.

Upon introducing such a thought, Jiang Tang couldn’t help but ask her, "An’an, why are you smiling?"

"Nothing!"

An’an replied, "I was just suddenly thinking about whether I could buy an island and manage it myself!"

"...Are you serious about this?"

"Perhaps seriously, perhaps just on a whim, I’ve soon to enter college, no need to spend such meaningless money. Even if I want to build, I’ll wait till I’ve graduated and can earn money myself."
