Chapter 471 What Can You Do to Me
"Big sister, second brother, what are you doing?" Chen Yanche asked cautiously, his eyes darting around.

"Don't worry, I won't beat you up."

Chen Yanxi stepped forward and poked his younger brother's forehead with a finger: "If it weren't for Second Aunt stopping you, I would have beaten you to death today. What were you thinking, using Second Aunt's reputation to cause trouble?"

"Look at what you're saying, how is this a joke?"

Chen Yanche smiled and helped his eldest sister sit down: "As long as we do things well, we won't damage Second Aunt's reputation; on the contrary, we'll bring her honor."

"What is my business plan linked to?"

"On a small scale, it provides employment opportunities for society; on a larger scale, it revitalizes rural areas; and on an even larger scale, it alleviates poverty."

"Poverty alleviation!"

"If this were to succeed, in ancient times, it would be worthy of being commemorated with monuments and statues, and would even be recorded in history books. What a wonderful thing that would be."

"I want to make not only money, but also fame."

"Isn't reputation what we value most?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanxi and Chen Yanjin exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise mixed with a touch of relief in each other's eyes.

Xiao Wu has really grown up!
She has a big mind.

If he actually succeeds, he could very well create a completely new business ecosystem, just as he said, not only making money but also gaining fame.

Chen Yanxi smiled and patted his younger brother's head: "Okay, I'll wait for that day, turn on the computer, and have a detailed talk with your second brother about what resources we need."

Chen Yanche didn't hold back. He opened his laptop, opened the PPT, and started to make his demands, completely adopting a "raiding" posture.

Chen Lao Er was quite satisfied. It was like when you go out to raise investment and meet an angel investor. If they don't boast a lot, it just means that this person is not suitable for fundraising.

The principle is the same.

Regarding the entire plan, Chen Lao Er continued to add: "Providing technical support for planting and breeding is not difficult; Tianhe Agricultural Group has a professional team."

"Transportation and warehousing are also simple. My uncle has a complete set of courier companies, logistics parks, and transit stations, which can fully meet our needs."

"It's easier to promote. We're a major shareholder in all the active social media platforms now, such as Weibo, Douyin, and WeChat, so we can control the traffic."

"You need to build your own management team and find the people yourself. You can trust them. Chinatown Supermarket has a rich talent pool, and many of them are available."

"As for sales..."

"Offline is simple; Chinatown supermarkets can set up dedicated counters or build separate stores. As for online, we need to develop an app..."

"Leave the app to me." Chen Yancheng walked in.

Sitting across from Xiao Wu: "Register a technology company, set up the team directly, and you can control the subsequent upgrades and maintenance yourself."

"Thank you, Third Brother." Chen Yanche grinned.

Chen Yancheng shook his head slightly: "Funding and resources are not a problem for our family. The core of your business plan lies in reputation."

"This requires service personnel to have extremely high qualifications, as well as an extremely capable public relations team that can handle all kinds of unexpected problems."

"Personnel training is especially important."

"Once the framework is in place, we'll transfer a group of elite personnel from various companies. You remember this, kid, don't tarnish your second aunt's reputation."

Seeing this, Chen Yanxi laughed.

The things Xiao Wu wants to do require a huge amount of resources, but fortunately, the family has them all. What's even more valuable is that the three brothers can work together, which is better than anything else.

"Ah Ling, do you have a grudge against me?"

Looking at the things Ye Ling brought out from time to time, Chen Yanyin clenched her fist: "Why do you always pick things I collected when I was a child? Can't you pick something else?"

"Different?" Ye Ling pouted.

Chen Yanyin scratched her head: "Of course they are different, they are all commemorative."

Ye Ling said disdainfully, "Stop it. You always bring up things you bought when you were a child, saying how much they cost back then and how much they're worth now. You're just showing off to me."

Chen Yanyin chuckled, "That's how collectors are."

"A few rooms full of stuff, isn't that enough for you to brag about?"

Ye Ling shook her head, ignoring her, and picked out some suitable items, including not only jadeite and Hetian jade, but also Tianhuang stone, Nan Hong stone, and chicken blood stone.

To be honest, Old Chen has a lot of good stuff.

You can find all kinds of gemstones here, and they're all top quality. Ordinary ones would have been disposed of long ago.

After working for half a day, we finally selected a batch.

Chen Yanyin went to the neighboring courtyard to find Xie Xiaofang: "Aunt Xiaofang, what has Xie Yun been busy with lately? I haven't seen her for a while."

"Just busywork for nothing," Xie Xiaofang said with a wry smile.

Chen Yanyin nodded and said, "I'm opening a shop soon. If Xie Yun is willing, I'd like her to come and help me run the shop. What do you think?"

"It's definitely good." Xie Xiaofang nodded quickly.

Working for the Chen family will guarantee good pay: "She's too picky, too busy to take any job, so working for her is just pointless. It's best for her to work with you."

"Then find a time to have her come over."

With the right people in place, Chen Yanyin will have even less free time.

Apart from his graduation thesis, there was nothing else to do, and half a month passed by leisurely: "Lu You, bring your parents to my graduation ceremony in a while."

"Let my sister bring the potatoes and sweet potatoes over to play, and while she's at it, let them soak up some of the academic atmosphere at Peking University. Maybe they'll be able to get into Peking University someday."

"I'll make a call later." Lu You glanced up, then looked down again, happily brushing a walnut with one hand and a brush in the other. Seeing this, Chen Yanyin couldn't help but laugh.

Before getting married, I never imagined that Lu You would become obsessed with playing with prayer beads. In the past two years, he has bought dozens of prayer beads and played with them quite skillfully.

After he finished, Chen Yan joked, "It's quite interesting that you, a postdoctoral researcher in materials science, are studying string beads. Maybe you can get some new materials from the lab to play with some of them sometime."

"My aunt could kill me," Lu You said with a smile.

After putting away the walnut bracelet, he said, "Mom and Dad are thinking of you and will definitely come. Our sister might not be able to come. Summer vacation is the peak tourist season, and the resort will be very busy."

Chen Yanyin acted quickly, starting construction in 2015 and opening for business in 2016. She handed over management to Lu Yan and gave her a considerable number of shares.

To put it bluntly, it's for Lu Yanjian.

By eliminating all of her husband's worries, he could focus his energy on his work and managing the family well, leading a very comfortable life.

"The resort has tour groups that can come out for a few days without any problem. Forget it, I'll just call myself. Your connections aren't enough."

Chen Yanyin took out her phone and video chatted with Lu Yan. She quickly charmed Lu Yan, who unknowingly agreed.

"That's it."

Chen Yanyin raised an eyebrow slightly, leaned back on the sofa, and opened Douyin to pass the time: "The old man's prediction was really accurate. It really will be the era of short videos in the future."

"Old Chen has a really sharp eye!"

"Douyin was only launched last year, but its monthly active users have exceeded 1.5 million this year. In another two years, it will probably stand out and become an industry giant."

"Hey, how come I saw Jing Shu on my feed?"

Chen Yanyin quickly sat up straight, squinted her eyes, and saw a clip from the "Waiting for Me" program, which was probably edited by netizens and not officially released.

As with previous episodes, Zhou Jingshu's episode had stable ratings and attracted considerable attention, so it's normal that it was edited into a series of clips.

Chen Yanyin opened the comments section.

"A lucky girl."

"Although she was abducted and lost her biological parents, she has a pair of wonderful adoptive parents."

"A master's degree from Peking University is quite impressive."

"I envy her love story. She raised her younger brother and he became her husband. Indeed... a good husband is one you raise yourself."

Seeing these comments, Chen Yanyin couldn't help but laugh.

Netizens are still very kind; they occasionally make playful jokes, and many also feel sorry for Zhou Jingshu's biological parents.

"For more than 20 years, we have been living in the open without stopping. It is hard to imagine how difficult this process is unless you have experienced it."

"I feel so sorry for the birth mother, losing two children all at once."

"Yes, he went crazy, but thankfully he came out of it and returned to normal. Now that he has found his daughter, they will definitely be reunited in the future."

"This episode about finding relatives is very interesting. The first half of Zhou Jingshu's story is very heartwarming. After her biological parents were released, they suffered a lot. Sigh... human traffickers deserve to die."

……

After watching for a while, Chen Yanyin scrolled through the video.

A few minutes later, I came across another video clip of Zhou Jingshu, but the style had changed drastically. The video content had become: a deep dive into Zhou Jingshu's outfits.

This is a slice made by a luxury blogger.

It has to be said that he really knows a lot about luxury goods: "First of all, Zhou Jingshu's dress is a new product from the top Chinese-style luxury brand Fanli, priced at 9.8 yuan."

"The shoes are a new product from Liyuan, priced at 6.8 yuan; the decorative belt around the waist is from the Qiuli series, priced at 12.8 yuan."

"But these are the cheapest ones."

“Look at her wrists. On one side she’s wearing a high-quality, icy jadeite bracelet with floating patterns, worth hundreds of thousands of yuan; on the other side she’s wearing a red agate bracelet, top-grade red agate, also worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.”

"I had an expert examine the safety buckle on display. It's definitely a pebble jade, reaching the level of mutton fat jade. One piece would cost hundreds of thousands."

“Look at the pendant on her earring.”

"A glass-type imperial green jadeite pendant, hidden under the hair, is the most precious; a pair starts at 500 million."

After watching the video, Chen Yanyin frowned.

Opening the comments section, the tone suddenly changed: "I originally felt sorry for the little girl, but I didn't expect that I was the one who should be pitied."

"His entire outfit cost several million?"

"What kind of family is this!"

"I'm really curious about what her adoptive mother does, that she's willing to spend millions on clothes for her daughter."

"I suggest you investigate this thoroughly!"

Chen Yanyin frowned, opened the search bar, and typed in Zhou Jingshu. Immediately, a bunch of videos popped up, with many bloggers discussing the matter.

A storm of public opinion has already formed.

Since you've been on the show, you should give the public an explanation. You can't just act like an idiot and say "What can you do to me?" to the public, can you?

Thinking of this, Chen Yanyin immediately dialed Zhou Jingshu's number: "Jingshu, did you see what happened on Douyin? You saw it? That's good."

"You're out there, right? Come back with Xiao Wu and discuss how to respond to this. We can't delay; the longer we delay, the worse the public opinion will be."
