20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3478: I've taken in a lively character and paired him up with Boss Zou.

"I listen to you."

Having eaten and drunk her fill, Xu Wanrong was as gentle as water. She looked up at Zhao Chang'an's face, her eyes filled with joy and affection.

"Have you ever thought about developing in the Yangtze River Delta? The Chang'an Real Estate that Mi Xiaoyin and her group wanted to establish is still stuck with me and I haven't given them my approval."

"why?"

"Although the pursuit of profit is the nature of capital, I still hope that this wild horse of nature can be fitted with an effective rein. That is, as a successful businessman, one should have ambition, such as the wish to build thousands of mansions to shelter all the poor and make them happy, and take this as a higher goal above the pursuit of profit."

"Then I'll just stay in Green Park."

"So realistic?"

Xu Wanrong smiled and said, "Chang'an, I'm just an ordinary woman. It's not that I like money and power, but that money and power can make me more free and unrestrained. Your idea is too idealistic. I'm afraid I'll lose money."

"What about Yan You and Mai Fei?"

“I reckon they’d be willing to follow you to realize your lofty ideal. Before the New Year, Mu Yongjin and his group came over. His intentions toward Yan You are common knowledge. But when he saw Mai Fei, he immediately thought about having two wives. It’s not that he can’t enjoy the happiness of having both Yan You and Mai Fei, but that he’s not qualified!”

Xu Wanrong gently grasped Zhao Chang'an's hand and said to him with a smile, "It depends on the person. I think my man is fine."

“I never had that idea.”

Zhao Chang'an had certainly had this thought as well. After all, as a normal man, he was driven by basic human needs, and Yan You was so beautiful and had such a great figure. Mai Fei, on the other hand, had other characteristics that were equally attractive.

The two women, who were top-tier beauties in the country last year, were already among the best of the best. When they arrived in Chongqing, it was like a crushing defeat for them.

Just like Nan Qiuli, who was originally a very outstanding real estate salesperson in Green Garden Group, she was completely outshone by Yan You and Mai Fei.

Only Shan Qiang's assistant, Jiang Xian, could barely hold her own against the two of them.

To be honest, Xu Wanrong's assistant, Chen Yue, is still a step below.

"Your answer has already revealed whether you've been thinking about it or not, hehe!"

Xu Wanrong tilted her head and laughed: "I'm too tired. Go talk to Chen Yue. She has a good relationship with Yan You and Mai Fei. Last time when Mu Yongjin and the others came, Chen Yue was willing to fight back against Mu Yongjin. Yan You and the others were extremely grateful."

The next morning, An Chuyu made a big pot of beef hot and sour soup, a big bowl of soy milk, and baked more than a dozen egg pancakes, which could be filled with scallions and dipped in sauce.

Besides Zhao Chang'an, Xu Wanrong, Chen Yue, and An Chuyu and her son, Old Xu, the gatekeeper, also prepared breakfast together. Zhao Chang'an asked Yu Chaofei if he was interested in developing the business in Zhengzhou as a founding member of a passenger transport company, which was about to be established by a friend of his and would be responsible for the commuting of employees from Nanjing to Zhengzhou.

"Go, go, I'll go!"

Upon hearing that the destination was Zhengzhou, and that the company was a newly established founding member, and more importantly, that this passenger transport company was actually only doing business in nanometers and was guaranteed to make a profit, Yu Chaofei, as a college graduate who had entered university through his own efforts, had the judgment to do so and immediately agreed with great enthusiasm.

He had another ulterior motive. His cousin clearly still resented the trouble he caused her back in elementary school, so she refused to let him join the Green Garden Group and forced him to follow Wu Yudong around aimlessly all day.

With a monthly salary of just over a thousand yuan, he now smokes limited edition Yellow Crane Tower and Zhenlong cigarettes, one pack a day. His salary isn't even enough to buy cigarettes, and the cigarettes he smokes are all from his cousin's villa, in packs.

So he was already tired of living a miserable life in a tiny city. If he didn't agree at this point, he would be a complete idiot!
My cousin won't help me, so I'll stick with her husband. And this cousin's husband is just too awesome. How could he possibly let me suffer if I followed him? Even if he just plucked a hair from me, it would be enough for me to live a life of luxury for several years.

This is Yu Chaofei's truest thought.

"Since that's the case, you can make preparations today. Tomorrow morning, or rather, tonight you can stay at the Shancheng Hotel. Tomorrow we'll fly to Zhengzhou together, and you and General Manager Zou can immediately get into your busy work."

As Zhao Chang'an sipped his spicy soup and ate his fragrant egg pancake, he said to An Chuyu, "Aunt An, your cooking skills are truly amazing. Would you be interested in developing your business in Mingzhu? It's about leasing a stall inside the Shanghai International Studies University. It's a one-nanometer business, specializing in spicy soup and egg pancakes. I guarantee the business will be booming."

However, An Chuyu shook her head with a smile. Before she could speak, her son Yu Chaofei interrupted her, saying, "My mother has no concept of money. Back then, she took me to the south with a two-pound gold chain and lied to me, saying it was brass. Back then, sixty or seventy thousand yuan could buy two houses in the south, and gold was sixty or seventy yuan per gram. Today, gold is still sixty or seventy yuan per gram, but the price of goods has increased many times over."

"I'm doing fine here. I won't go back out. I've already talked to Chaofei's dad. When he gets out, we won't look for other jobs. We'll just make spicy soup and egg pancakes together. That's enough for us to support ourselves. We're not thinking about getting rich. Your brother is a good person. I know his own child. It's just that he has a terrible mouth. He's been getting slapped all the way from elementary school to high school over there—"

"mom!"

Yu Chaofei immediately became anxious.

This made everyone laugh, especially Grandpa Xu, who laughed so hard that he had a mouthful of missing teeth. He said to Yu Chaofei, "You little rascal, you come here every day asking me for money to buy sesame cakes. If you give me money, you're Grandpa Xu; if you don't, you're Old Man Xu. You old geezer, I've spent a lot of money on sesame cakes for you so you won't scold me."

“That’s all in the past. Why do you still remember these things? At worst, when you get old and go up the mountain, I’ll take care of you in your final days. Whenever you come back, I’ll pour you a bottle of wine for Qingming Festival. Don’t worry about the quality of the wine, as long as the alcohol content is high, it won’t bring you back to life. I’ll also burn some paper money for you so you’ll have money to spend down there.”

Yu Chaofei said it in a very serious tone: "Everyone hated me when we were little, except you. I remember that."

"You silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Bah, bah, bah! Your Grandpa Xu is in great health; he'll live to be ninety-nine!"

An Chuyu was helpless against her son's sharp tongue.

"It's nothing. I'm eighty years old and I've long since let go of worldly concerns. With the two of you by my side, I'm not afraid at all."

Old Xu laughed heartily.
