Chapter 1509 My Uncle is the Boss

As reform and opening up deepened, everyone knew that this was the general trend, and the previous noises became less and less.

So what everyone thought about most was doing business and making money. Lin Dongzhe inevitably felt restless inside. Later, after discussion, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying decided to take out the money from home, part of it to buy gold, part of it to Lin Dongzhe to support his entrepreneurship, and the rest to be kept at home for daily expenses.

There are also treasury bonds that need to be sold, otherwise they all have fixed face values and will depreciate if kept at home.

After Xiang Pengfei received financial support from Suning, his transportation company expanded rapidly, and he purchased 20 domestic heavy-duty trucks in installments.

Domestic heavy-duty truck manufacturers are having the most difficult time now, as foreign heavy-duty truck brands have entered the domestic market one after another, which naturally makes life particularly difficult for domestic heavy-duty trucks.

Therefore, domestic heavy truck factories all welcome such large orders, and they also considerately contacted retired transport soldiers to be drivers for Pengfei. Such things are not a big deal in their hands.

Shaanxi Automobile's Director Ai looked at Xiang Pengfei with a smile on his face and asked inquiringly, "Mr. Xiang, I heard that you are a graduate of Jiangsu Normal University. I didn't expect you to have such strength to start a business?"

"This is all thanks to my uncle's support, otherwise I wouldn't have such strength." However, Xiang Pengfei suddenly had an idea and brought up his uncle.

Sure enough, Shaanxi Automobile's Director Ai looked at Xiang Pengfei with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Huh? Mr. Xiang, I wonder who your uncle is?"

"Zhuang Chaoying! He's a mathematics professor at Fudan University. My uncle has always been very supportive of my entrepreneurial endeavors."

As expected, Director Ai looked at Xiang Pengfei in shock and asked, "Professor Zhuang? Is that Professor Zhuang from the Shanghai Center for Cosmic Mysteries Research?"

"Yes! Director Ai, have you also heard of my uncle?" Xiang Pengfei asked Director Ai with a smile in his eyes.

"More than just heard of him! Some time ago, he acquired several car companies such as Qinchuan Automobile and Dezhou Automobile. He is now a well-known figure in our domestic automotive industry."

"Oh? I'm not really sure about this. My uncle has been in Shanghai all these years."

"Mr. Xiang, since you have this relationship with Professor Zhuang, Shaanxi Automobile can provide your transportation company with five eight-ton medium-sized trucks. As for the payment for the trucks, you can also use the installment payment method."

Xiang Pengfei knew that Shaanxi Automobile would definitely slow down its repayments in the future. "Director Ai, I won't be polite with you then."

"Mr. Xiang, you're too kind! Your transportation company is doing Shaanxi Automobile a great favor by choosing us."

Then Pengfei's transportation company developed smoothly. You know, this is a special place where gold is everywhere. The information gap and geographical restrictions made Pengfei's transportation company make a lot of money.

He had previously made a lot of money by hoarding and selling in-demand electrical appliances. Not only did this reduce the debt of their transportation company, but it also gave some money to his parents far away in Guizhou to improve their lives. He also bought a lot of rare fruits for his aunt Huang Ling.

Because fruits are very expensive now, some are even more expensive than meat and vegetables, Pengfei told his aunt to eat them without worry, as he now has money to buy them.

Huang Ling looked at Xiang Pengfei with a smile on her face and asked, "Pengfei, I've never asked you, how is your transportation company doing recently?"

"It's really developing very well! Whenever I mention my uncle outside, the big bosses are very kind to me. Some time ago, I delivered a batch of supplies to the State Grid, and the State Grid settled all the payments on the spot and even treated all the drivers to a meal in the cafeteria."

"Oh? State Grid?"

"Yes! Aunt, I later heard that my uncle is a major shareholder of the State Grid Corporation of China."

Huang Ling suppressed her surprise and nodded, then instructed Pengfei again, "That's good! But you still have to work harder on your studies. Don't let small things get you in the way. It would be terrible if you couldn't graduate just to make money."

"No! Now everyone in Jiangsu Normal University knows that my uncle is the famous Professor Zhuang. As long as I don't fail the exams, they will never make things difficult for me." At this time, Xiang Pengfei explained to Huang Ling again with pride on his face.

"..."

Seeing Pengfei's entire temperament changed, Huang Ling suddenly felt the power of money, and at the same time admired Suning's invisible influence.

In the future, the children will grow up and will definitely enter the society one by one. People like them at the bottom of society can't help at all, and can only rely on Suning, who has connections and influence, for support.

……

Zhuang Tunan went to deliver the drawings to Professor Zhou and happened to meet Li Jia and his colleagues who also came to visit Professor Zhou. Zhuang Tunan didn't expect that they would meet again and felt a little nervous and at a loss.

Li Jia also noticed Zhuang Tunan's nervousness, but instead greeted him gracefully, "Tunan, if you have time, go to Lujiazui and take a look. The 'research center' in Pudong will be open in a few days."

Having calmed down his excitement, Zhuang Tunan responded with a smile, "Okay! I'll go! But I heard that you're in charge of the construction of the 'research center'?"

Li Jiayan briefly explained the situation, "Yes! Your father thought it would be a shame for me to give up my architecture major, so he arranged for me to go to Lujiazui and take charge of the specific project."

"Then it seems my dad is quite good at using people wisely."

Then Li Jia looked at Zhuang Tunan and asked, "How about you? How are you doing in the Planning Bureau?"

Zhuang Tunan couldn't help but shake his head with another wry smile, suddenly realizing that his father had already influenced them. "That's great! Thanks to my father, Shanghai has been designated a Special Economic Zone, and there are new construction projects to review every day."

Now that the Shanghai Planning Bureau knows Zhuang Tunan's identity, everyone from top to bottom naturally takes good care of this second-generation kid, and the troubles within the system are not imposed on him.

"Haha, your dad would definitely be very happy if he knew how influential he is."

Of course, Li Jia didn’t talk too much with Zhuang Tunan. After all, they each had their own jobs, and it was not appropriate to talk too much about their current complicated relationship.

It’s just that Zhuang Tunan felt particularly uncomfortable watching Li Jia’s back as she left, as if something was blocking his heart. However, he replayed the events of the past many times in his mind, and it seemed that the ending of him and Li Jia could not be changed.

Professor Zhou looked at Zhuang Tunan in confusion and asked, "Tunan, I remember you and Li Jia were classmates?"

"Yes! We were classmates and participated in the protection of Pingyao Ancient City together back then."

"Well, her achievements are truly remarkable. She's become a leading figure in our country's architectural community. Not only has she participated in the construction of three skyscrapers, she's also been hired as a design consultant for a top international architectural design firm. Clearly, she's the most outstanding graduate of your class."

"..."

……

Song Ying returned to Suzhou alone to handle the subsequent unpaid leave procedures. Before leaving, Lin Wufeng reminded her not to have too much contact with her former neighbors. Now that everyone was eyeing their house, it would be inappropriate for anyone to temporarily live there, and Song Ying naturally knew this.

Song Ying didn't want to make it public at first, but she didn't expect that Xiaojun saw it. Song Ying felt that if Xiaojun knew about it, then more people would definitely know about her return to Suzhou.

Sure enough, as soon as Old Wu and Zhang A'mei got the news, they gave Shanshan some money and asked her to buy some gifts to visit Song Ying and Huang Ling. Shanshan not only bought a lot of local specialties, but also took the two aunts to a snack bar for food.

Shanshan indeed had a purpose. She wanted to take this opportunity to let Xiaojun live in Song Ying's house after he went to high school.

Song Ying naturally wanted to refuse, but Shanshan wanted to play the emotional card, which immediately made Song Ying not know how to respond for a moment.

Fortunately, Huang Ling took over the conversation and said that Xiaojun living at home was interfering with their lives. Pengfei could have returned to Suzhou frequently, but in order to create a quiet environment for Xiaojun, he could only come back to the cotton mill as little as possible.

Moreover, she watches TV every day, but only in a low voice, so their lives have been seriously affected.

Then, Song Ying, the protagonist, still spoke up to refuse, because she also remembered Lin Dongzhe and realized that even parents would dislike high school students, let alone other people's children.

Huang Ling told Shanshan that going to high school and then taking the college entrance examination is not such an easy thing, and it takes a lot of energy to raise a college student. Outsiders like them simply cannot bear the burden of other people's families.

Huang Ling actually felt that Shanshan was taking things for granted. After observing Xiaojun, she found that he was not a good student at all. "Shanshan, I hope you won't make things difficult for me and your Aunt Song. Now is not like when you were little, when we could make you a bra and invite you to our house for buns."

"Aunt Ling, Aunt Song, I'm sorry! I was inconsiderate and put you in a difficult position." Shanshan was of course very clear about this truth at this time, but the reality forced her to calculate others.

Huang Ling then looked at Shanshan bluntly and reminded her, "Shanshan, Xiaojun has been living alone with me for a while now, and I've discovered that he's not very good at studying. Tunan and Xiaoting used to be very proactive in their studies, but your brother Xiaojun..."

"..."

"Shanshan, there are so many people in this world, it's impossible for everyone to follow the same path. You can ask him to consider other ways out."

Wu Shanshan, who also knew this, was a little bit incredulous. "Auntie Ling, is there really no hope for Xiaojun?"

"Shanshan, perhaps you know it better than us. Xiaojun is not doing well. No matter how unwilling you are, it's useless. It's already great that your family has a college student like you." Huang Ling suddenly realized that Wu Shanshan was a little ungrateful.

"Thank you, Auntie Ling! Thank you, Auntie Song! I know what to do now."

……

Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting went to the school to visit Zhuang Tunan. Lin Dongzhe gave Zhuang Tunan the thousand yuan given by Pengfei. They all knew that Zhuang Tunan refused to ask his family for money.

Prices are soaring now, and life must be difficult. Pengfei was afraid that Zhuang Tunan would think too much and that he would not accept it, so he asked Lin Dongzhe to bring it.

So Zhuang Tunan accepted it first. Later, Zhuang Tunan thought it would be a good idea to do business with Pengfei, Lin Dongzhe and others, so he returned home from school a week in advance to discuss the matter with Pengfei and his family.

Pengfei was very happy. Although Zhuang Tunan worked in the Planning Bureau and could not help much normally, his joining would naturally save a lot of trouble, simply because Zhuang Tunan's surname was "Zhuang".

Zhuang Tuanan came up with the idea because of Pengfei's 1,000 yuan. He thought that if something happened at home, he would not be able to come up with money to support his family like Pengfei did.

So he decided to use the holiday to do some business with Pengfei and Lin Dongzhe to make some money. After listening to Zhuang Tunan's words, Huang Ling naturally decided to support him.

The next morning, I went to the bank to withdraw the family savings and sold all the treasury bonds, a total of 5,000 yuan.

Huang Ling doesn't care about other people's thoughts at all. As long as it is something Zhuang Tunan wants to do, she will support it without hesitation. She feels that this may be the only thing she can do as a mother.

Huang Ling also wanted Zhuang Tunan to know that she only hoped that Zhuang Tunan would study hard and be sensible. She did not require him to make money for the family, and she also wanted him not to feel stressed about money.

Lin Wufeng and Song Ying originally supported Lin Dongzhe and gave him all their family savings of 20,000 yuan. Everyone's life changed around "money".

"Brother, today I went to Tongji University to look for Professor Zhou, and I happened to run into Zhuang Tunan who was also there on business."

"Oh? Are you two feeling awkward?"

"Ah? Brother, what are you thinking? There's really nothing going on between me and Zhuang Tunan."

"I know! If you really have any real relationship with him, I would never pursue you."

"Brother, thank you for trusting me."

"Li Jia, I'm in a good mood today. Should we consider having a child of our own?"

"what?"

"You don't want our own child?"

"No! I just feel too surprised. I thought you were not so keen on having children now that you have Tunan and Xiaoting?"

"You don't understand! Ever since I decided to abandon my family and go to college, I've been mentally separating from them. I never considered rebuilding my family before, but after meeting you, I've actually become a bit more youthful and reckless."

"Brother, I will listen to you. If you let me have a baby, I will have one. If you don't let me have a baby, I won't have one."

"Haha, since you're so good! Looks like I'll have to reward you well tonight."

"Ah."

Then Suning brought his girlfriend Li Jia back to his love nest, and deliberately displayed his treasured skills, which naturally made Li Jia feel unable to stop (yubabuneng).

Today, Suning not only gives Li Jia material satisfaction, but also allows her to get the joy of love, so Li Jia has completely belonged to Suning.
