Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Su Meng was taken aback. This was the first time her uncle had been so serious. It seemed that He Yuzhu held a high position in her uncle's heart. Although Su Meng was resentful, she thought that Han Chunming understood her uncle's thoughts.

Han Chunming rose to prominence rapidly thanks to He Yuzhu. Now, his uncle wants to open a restaurant. He Yuzhu is the authority in the entire Beijing restaurant industry. As the saying goes, it's good to have a big tree to lean on. Su Meng admits that her uncle makes sense!

"Uncle, don't worry, I will keep Chen Jianjun calm. This time it was my fault, which caused a setback to what was originally a smooth plan;

Fortunately, Chen Jianjun had ulterior motives, and Li Huaide was unaware of this; otherwise, your plan to curry favor would have failed!

Su Meng is arrogant and domineering, but she still has some conscience towards her own family. Although she can be temperamental, she is clear-headed when it matters, unlike how she is when facing Han Chunming and Chen Jianjun!
"Mengmeng, you'd better be careful from now on. Business is like a battlefield, so you have to keep your mouth shut. I opened this restaurant for you."
Although your uncle is not short of money, if you don't change your ways, even if you have all of his money, you won't amount to anything.

Although his uncle looked down on Han Chunming, he had to admit that the kid was quite capable in his words and actions.
You two grew up together. This kid is still a junior high school student, while you are a proper college student. Surely you can't be inferior to Han Chunming?
Mengmeng, go back and think about this carefully. Doing business is not like being a pampered young lady. Leaking secrets casually is a big no-no.

Not only do we distrust our own people, but we also distrust our partners. The project and the investment are not guaranteed. What can we do?

Su Meng had probably already thought of a potential partner, but that guy was so particular about confidentiality—could Mengmeng really trust him to handle things? Especially since this leak was caused by Mengmeng herself… Sigh…

"Okay, Uncle!"

Su Meng knew that her uncle meant well, so she didn't argue. She did act impulsively this time, but wouldn't she be a young person if she didn't act impulsively?

"Okay, in the next period of time, you do your best to persuade Hou Su'e to open a restaurant together. The lousy Hou and He Yuzhu have a good relationship, and there will only be benefits for us if we go into business together!"

Su Meng's uncle didn't want to criticize his niece too much. Everyone was young once, and he himself made many mistakes when he was young.

It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Mengmeng is a college student, so she understands this principle. I just hope she won't repeat the same mistake in the future.
Falling on the same rock twice makes you a fool, but Mengmeng is definitely not a fool. She learns from her mistakes and grows up eventually.
"Sister Hou? Uncle, I heard that the ragpicker Hou and Uncle Guan are planning to open a restaurant. Sister Hou mentioned it casually. They might not be willing to let us invest!"

Su Meng was full of resistance. Grandpa Guan didn't mind, but Guan Xiaoguan was Grandpa Guan's granddaughter, so Su Meng was resistant!

"Uncle Guan? It's fine for him to take a stake, but he's so old, do you really expect him to participate in management? Three people is fine, this is just for you to practice. My favorite projects are still real estate."

Everything in the world eventually leads to the same goal, and business is no exception. Opening a restaurant can help you grow quickly, then you can open a real estate company!

As a businessman who returned from Hong Kong, how could Su Meng's uncle not know which projects were profitable? Didn't the Huo family and Old Li of Cheung Kong both rise rapidly through real estate?
The Fok family initially ventured into shipping, and although they made some money, they did not become one of the leading families in Hong Kong. Only real estate allowed the Fok family to rise rapidly, as China was developing rapidly and various regions were seeking rapid development.
With GDP as the sole criterion for evaluating officials, acquiring land is too easy as long as there is enough capital. As the center of China, the capital city has no shortage of houses that can be sold. However, Su Meng is too young at this time and cannot shoulder such heavy responsibilities without experience.
"Real estate? The stuff Han Chunming got into?"

Su Meng's eyes lit up. This was a good project. "Han Chunming, I'm a college student, and you're just a junior high school student. Aren't you the general manager of He's Real Estate? Let's have a good competition and see if your real estate business is better than mine. Our competition begins!"

"That's right, it's what Han Chunming did, but the premise is that you understand and master the rules of business. Opening a restaurant not only allows you to be associated with the ragpicker Hou and Uncle Guan, but also to establish contact with He Yuzhu, preparing for entering the real estate market, understand?"

"Understood, Uncle!"

Su Meng was happy, but doing business is never that simple. Su Meng is capable, but her temper is hard to describe!

"Chen Jianjun, my uncle wants you to come over sometime to discuss cooperation. But what good things do you have that can persuade my uncle?"

Su Meng returned to the compound and found Chen Jianjun to convey her uncle's plans for cooperation. Then she looked at Chen Jianjun with feigned curiosity!
"Hehe, I can't tell you that, Su Meng. Just wait and see. I'm no worse than Han Chunming. It's time for us to get down to business. I haven't gotten married all these years because I've been waiting for you, haven't I? Think about it?"

Chen Jianjun was overjoyed. He had already made preparations to tell Li Huaide about this matter if Su Meng's uncle refused to cooperate.
Fortunately, Su Meng's uncle chose a good path. Since that's the case, it's possible that marrying Su Meng will make Han Chunming uncomfortable!

"Heh... Chen Jianjun, Han Chunming drives around in cars and has his own yard. My uncle has no children and has been identified as the sole heir. What makes you so confident?"

Su Meng feigned a cold laugh, making Chen Jianjun sound worthless. However, she didn't directly refuse him, but instead hinted that if he wanted to marry her, he would have to show his full strength.

At least for now, Chen Jianjun isn't qualified. If you want to marry me, you'd better catch up to my uncle's assets before we can even talk!
"Haha... How could you possibly know my abilities? Su Meng, just wait, I'll make your uncle beg to marry you off to me, and that day won't be far off!"

Thinking about his skills and Su Meng's uncle's connections in Hong Kong, making money couldn't be easier. Su Meng, you may look down on me today, but you won't be able to reach me tomorrow!

"Okay, I'll wait for that day!"

Su Meng sneered and turned to leave, her disbelief and "you're bragging" written all over her face. Chen Jianjun was furious, then sneered, "Just you wait, you'll be singing under my crotch!"

Just then, Han Chunming went back to the compound to get something and happened to see Chen Jianjun's expression. He immediately leaned over and chuckled!
"Damn, what are you laughing at? What's wrong? You've made money and now you look down on your childhood friend? Long time no see!"

Chen Jianjun was startled by the eerie laughter. When he saw that it was Han Chunming, he glared at him angrily. Was he eavesdropping?

"What kind of talk is that? You're a cadre, and me? Just a ragpicker. We're not even neighbors!" (End of Chapter)
