In this year, Xiang Nan and Deshan also officially held a grand wedding.

The investment for the entire wedding was as high as five million US dollars, and the bride's wedding dress alone was made by Dior.

On the wedding day, there were so many guests that even the Blue House sent flower baskets.

This also made Dongil, Yihua, Ms. Leopard and President Jin feel very proud.

…

In 2000, Xiang Nan also officially graduated with a doctorate.

In fact, rich people like him with a net worth of over 100 million don't have to worry about military service. Because they have many ways to evade military service reasonably and legally.

For example, Lee Jae-yong, the crown prince of Samsung, was exempted from military service because he fell off his horse many times while riding a horse when he was young, causing pain in his waist that persisted for a long time.

Of course, it is common practice to stay in school and defer military service on academic grounds. Chaebols are often rich and powerful, and even if their children are as stupid as pigs, they can get a master's degree or a doctorate through connections, and naturally they can avoid military service.

…

In the following years, under the leadership of Xiang Nan and Deshan, Explorer Company continued to expand its territory.

It has successively provided Internet services to South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Australia and other places. As a result, the number of users has increased from tens of millions to hundreds of millions.

The increase in users and revenue has also caused Explorer's stock price to keep rising. However, when the Internet bubble broke out in 2001, Explorer's stock price also plummeted.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan had already taken precautions against this. The stock price plummeted, which was another good opportunity for him to make a lot of money.

Moreover, he also took advantage of the plummeting stock prices to invest in many Internet companies in the United States and Mainland China, and also poached many elite talents in the industry.

This allowed the Explorer not only to not collapse, but to become even stronger than before.

…

In 2001, Deshan gave birth to a lovely daughter for Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan named her Jin Huizhi, hoping that she would grow up to be smart and discerning.

In 2006, Xiang Nan's net worth officially surpassed Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee and became the richest man in South Korea, with a capital of more than 16 billion US dollars. Therefore, he became South Korea's new chaebol.

In 2007, Cui Ze, already the number one player in the world of chess, announced his official retirement.

In the past few years, many masters emerged in the South Korean chess world and even in the world chess world, launching an impact on Cui Ze's throne as the chess king.

Coupled with the changes in the rules of the Go game, the game time was shortened accordingly, which greatly affected Cui Ze, who was accustomed to thoughtful thinking. Therefore, in 2004, he lost to young players many times, and gradually fell from the throne to the mortal world.

Of course, he is still the top chess player in the world, but he is no longer as self-centered and lonely as he used to be.

After retiring, Cui Ze married a beautiful reporter who was eleven years younger than him.

The beautiful reporter was responsible for reporting on the Go match. She had regarded Cui Ze as her idol since she was a child and had also learned Go. Unfortunately, her talent was limited and it was difficult for her to become a professional chess player, so she reported on the Go match instead.

She was responsible for reporting on many of Cui Ze's competitions. During the contact process, the two gradually developed a good impression, so they finally decided to get married.

…

Entering the 20th year, Donglong's parents Liu Zaiming and Zhao Xiangxiu passed away one after another. When they passed away, they were both in their eighties, which was considered a long life.

In the 1930s, Deshan's mother Ilhwa and Dongil also passed away one after another. This made Deshan, Paula, and Yuhui burst into tears. Later, Cui Ze's father and Sunwoo's mother also passed away one after another.

By 35, Ms. Leopard and President Jin also passed away.

At the time of his death, President Jin was ninety-one years old and Ms. Baozi was ninety-two years old, which was actually considered a long life. However, as a child, who doesn’t want their parents to live longer and spend more time with them.

With parents around, no matter how old you are, you still feel like a child. When you are sick, tired, annoyed, sad, or sad, you have someone to talk to.

When my parents are away, I feel like the sky is falling.

Xiang Nan felt that since the death of President Jin and Ms. Leopard, he had suddenly become old.

Therefore, in 36 years, he officially resigned as chairman of Explorer Company and handed over the company to his daughter Jin Huizhi to manage it.

Kim Hye-ji graduated from Seoul National University with a master's degree in economics, and then went to the United States to study for a PhD. When she was 28, she fell in love with and got married to a Korean who also studied in the United States. Now she is the mother of two children.

…

After leaving office, Xiang Nan and Deshan's biggest hobby was to sit and chat with their old friends, just like they did in Phoenix Hall.

In the past, everyone was busy with their careers and only got together once or twice a year. Now they have basically taken a back seat and naturally have a lot of time to spend together.

Today, Salvador is the owner of a well-known restaurant chain in South Korea, Sunwoo is also one of the best surgeons, and Cui Ze, although he has retired long ago, is still a legend in the South Korean chess world.

Together with Paula, Yuhui, Zhengfeng, Meiyu, etc., everyone was drinking, chatting, playing cards, and chess. They were actually very happy, just like they were back when they were young.

However, such leisurely and contented days did not last forever.

In 2050, Zhengfeng passed away; in 1955, Paula passed away; in 1958, Meiyu passed away; in 1959, Shanyu passed away... Friends around them left one after another, and Deshan and Xiang Nan couldn't help but feel very sad. sad.

In 2061, Deshan finally failed to withstand the call of death and became seriously ill and dying.

"Zheng Huan, I'm going to die." She lay on the hospital bed and held Xiang Nan's hand.

"Don't talk nonsense. You can still live. Don't think of leaving me alone." Xiang Nan scolded.

"I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that we were back at Aze's house in Phoenix Hall. Shanyu, Aze, and Baby Fish were all there. They borrowed the video tape of "A Better Tomorrow 2" and were waiting for us." Deshan smiled and said, "I'll go over there first and tell them to wait for you..."

When Xiang Nan heard what she said, he couldn't help but shed tears, "Okay, tell them that I will be there soon. Ask them to wait for me. If I don't come, they are not allowed to leave in advance. They must wait until I arrive." Look again.”

"Yes." Deshan nodded, and then closed his eyes peacefully.

When Xiang Nan saw this, he couldn't help crying.

Human beings are not like plants, so how can they be ruthless? Although he and Deshan were together at first because they had to carry out Zhenghuan's mission, after decades of getting along, the two of them have already developed a deep relationship.

At this moment, when his lover dies, how can he not be sad and shed tears?

At this moment, a long-lost notification sound suddenly sounded.

"Kim Zhenghuan is very grateful to the host for fulfilling his wish. He has never missed Deshan again in his life and left him a wonderful memory."

"The mission is completed, the host will return soon!"

Immediately, a door of light appeared and sucked Xiang Nan's soul out of Jin Zhenghuan's body.

Immediately afterwards, a series of pictures flashed before his eyes.

There are scenes of him confessing to Deshan, scenes of him watching videos with Donglong, Shanyu, Cui Ze and Deshan; scenes of him and Deshan spending Christmas Eve together; scenes of him and Deshan taking the college entrance examination together. There are pictures of him and Deshan getting married; there are pictures of him and Deshan raising children...
