In this year, Xiang Nan and Deshan also officially held a grand wedding.
The investment in the entire wedding was as high as five million US dollars, and the bride's wedding dress alone was a Dior haute couture dress.
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, a rich man like him with a net worth of over 100 million does not 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 by the hospital because he fell off his horse many times while riding a horse, causing pain in his waist that persisted for a long time.
Of course, continuing to go to school and deferring military service on academic grounds is also routine practice. Chaebols are often rich and powerful. Even if their children are as stupid as pigs, they can still 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 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 plummeted.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan had already taken precautions against this. The stock price plummeted, which was another good opportunity for him to make big 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 South Korea's richest man, 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 careful 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, his talent was limited and it was difficult to become a professional chess player, so he switched to broadcasting Go games.
She was responsible for reporting on many of Cui Ze's games. In the process of contact, 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. Both of them were in their eighties when they died, which was considered a long life.
In the 1930s, Deshan's mothers, Ichika and Dongil, also passed away one after another. This made Deshan, Paula, and Yuhui burst into tears. Subsequently, Cui Ze's father and Shan Yu'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. Leopard 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 gone, it feels 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.
Kim Hye-ji graduated from Seoul National University with a master's degree in economics and went to the United States to study for a PhD. At the age of 28, I fell in love 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.
Before, everyone was busy with their careers, so we only got together once or twice a year. Now that we have basically taken a back seat, we naturally have a lot of time to spend together.
Today, Salvador is the owner of a well-known restaurant chain in South Korea, and Sunwoo is also one of the best surgeons. Although Cui Ze has retired long ago, he is still a legend in the South Korean chess world.
Coupled with Paula, Yuhui, Zhengfeng, Meiyu, etc., everyone was actually very happy drinking, chatting, playing cards, and chess, just like returning to their youth.
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, which made Deshan and Xiang Nan feel very sad. sad.
In 2061, Deshan finally failed to withstand the call of death and became seriously ill and dying.
"Zhenghuan, I'm going to die." She said while lying on the hospital bed, holding 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 II" and were waiting for us." Deshan smiled and said, "I'll go over there first and tell them to wait for you..."
Hearing what she said, Xiang Nan 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 be released 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.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect. Although he and Deshan were together at first because they had to carry out Zhenghuan's mission, after decades of being together, the two of them had already developed a deep relationship.
At this moment, when his lover passed away, how could he not be sad and shed tears.
At this moment, a long-lost notification sound suddenly sounded.
"Jin Zhenghuan is very grateful to the host for fulfilling his wish. He has never missed Deshan again in his life and left him a beautiful 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.
Then a series of pictures flashed across his eyes.
There are scenes of him confessing his love to Deshan; there are scenes of him watching videos with Donglong, Shanyu, Cui Ze and Deshan; there are scenes of him and Deshan spending Christmas Eve together; there are scenes of him and Deshan taking the college entrance examination together. There are scenes of him and Deshan getting married; there are scenes of him and Deshan raising children...
These are very beautiful memories, which made Xiang Nan feel sad again after seeing them.
