Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 201 Clan Robe
Yan Hui still doesn't know what Su Jin's family background is, but he knows they are very wealthy.

In 1998, a Mercedes-Benz S600 cost approximately 260 million yuan, and Su Jin's family owned more than just one car. Even today, only a minority can afford a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Yan Hui's entire net worth is less than half the price of Su Jin's car.

He doesn't yet have the concept of hiding his wealth, but he knows he can't just tell others how much money he has. Things like company cash flow might be predictable by his peers, but Yan Hui can't reveal that.

But Su Jin is an exception; he can talk to Su Jin, so there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Su Jin was also incredibly surprised by Yan Hui. When she first met Yan Hui, he was just a worker. At the time, she only thought that Yan Hui was very studious and good-looking. She never imagined that in just two years, Yan Hui would become a big boss with a monthly turnover of over one million.

No matter how wealthy her family is, she would never think that Yan Hui is not capable. Even her father, when talking about Yan Hui, thinks he is a very outstanding young man.

After listening to Su Jin's advice, Yan Hui spent more than 3 yuan to buy a Rolex. After wearing it, his spirit and energy improved significantly.

This increase in energy and spirit is not directly given by the watch, but rather by the confidence that luxury goods bring.

Of course, truly wealthy people don't need this, but Yan Hui does need it now.

With a Rolex watch on his left wrist and a Hainan rosewood bracelet on his right, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Yan Hui was no ordinary person.

After saying goodbye to Su Jin, Yan Hui has been wandering around the market for the past few days.

He was young and agile, a rare type of big boss who frequented the market every day.

Yan Hui is quite different from other bosses. Most bosses rely on relationships to maintain their businesses, and their daily work mainly involves maintaining those relationships. Yan Hui, however, prefers to let the products speak for themselves.

Good quality and low price.

In this market, there are at least twenty or thirty business owners who directly rely on Yan Hui for their livelihood, and at least a hundred indirectly. Of course, this doesn't mean Yan Hui supports these people; they also have other businesses to run.

Regardless, Yan Hui is already a big name in the market, and people greet him warmly wherever he goes.

"Mr. Yan," a short man approached, "when are you going home for the Chinese New Year this year?"

"President Zeng, President Yang," Yan Hui greeted the visitors, "It's not decided yet? What's wrong?"

“We have a custom where we visit our elders and seniors to pay our respects before the Lunar New Year. Lao Yang and I were just talking about it today. We’re planning to go with you to pay our respects before the Lunar New Year this year. I don’t know if that will be a bother,” Zeng Jian said.

"New Year's greetings? No need for New Year's greetings, but if you want to come to my house for dinner, you're welcome anytime. However, this year is a bit rushed, how about next year?" Yan Hui felt that this year was still a bit busy.

Next year, Yan Hui will give Lao San two more employees, and Liu Zi will also find another person in the Northeast. This will make his task easier, and he will be able to easily host his friends when they go to Southern Fujian for the New Year.

"Okay, I won't bother you this year. Please give this message to my family for me!" Zeng Jian said. "Next year, we'll definitely go next year!"

"Yes, welcome, welcome!" Yan Hui nodded happily. Who wouldn't want to be the center of attention?

As New Year's Day approaches, more and more people are sending their blessings to Yan Hui. There are as many as seven or eight people who said they would go to visit him this year, but Yan Hui postponed them all to next year. This year is the official start of his career, so he wants to take it easy for now.

At least half of the calls Yan Hui received were unrelated to business; many were invitations to dinner or hang out. Yan Hui was too busy to keep up, so he asked his third brother to stay and keep an eye on things for a while while he went home early for the New Year.

In mid-January, Yan Hui returned home early and found that his grandfather's health was obviously deteriorating. He ignored his grandfather's advice and took him to the county hospital.

After the county hospital examined him, they said that the old man was just like that and needed to go home to rest, but Yan Hui still insisted that his grandfather stay in the hospital for a few days.

After being discharged from the hospital, Grandpa's condition improved, so Yan Hui bought a second-hand motorcycle to ride at home during the Spring Festival each year. If he wasn't home, other relatives could borrow the motorcycle; it only cost three thousand yuan.

After a busy period until late December, the third brother returned, and Yan Hui immediately began organizing a class reunion.

This year, there's no need to say more; the third brother will speak for him!

The fourth brother still didn't come home for the Chinese New Year. The eldest brother went abroad this year and said he would come back next year for the New Year.

The class reunion was held on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and this year's reunion was unprecedented in scale.

The third brother notified all the classmates he could, and even offered to buy round-trip train tickets for many who didn't want to come back for the New Year! Of course, these were mostly from relatively far away.

This year's Spring Festival was a highlight for Yan Hui in the family. On the day of the ancestral worship, his grandfather called Yan Hui into the house and handed him the family robe.

"Grandpa, wouldn't it be more suitable for my dad?" Yan Hui's feelings were complicated. He was excited and happy, of course, but now that the moment had come, the pressure was really immense.

“I’ve discussed this with him, and he agrees with me. It’s yours. You’re the most promising in our family. In the future, many people in the entire clan will rely on you for their livelihood. You have to shoulder these responsibilities.” Grandpa patted Yan Hui’s head. “Don’t be afraid.”

“Grandpa, you always told me not to be afraid, but I was never afraid. In the five years I’ve been away, I’ve never been afraid of anything.” Yan Hui said with some pride.

He survived even with a gun pointed at his head!

“You’re still young, you don’t know what will happen in the future. When I was a child, I was the eldest in my family. I was born in 1915, and my family was very wealthy. But when I was seven, our family suffered a disaster, and we lost everything. When I was nine, we had no food, so I went out to work with my uncle, learning little by little, and we survived.” Grandpa recalled his experiences, “Our generation experienced the War of Resistance against Japan, the Liberation, and many years of not having enough to eat. You know, there were many ups and downs. Many of my peers didn’t survive to this day.”

"Grandpa, I know." Yan Hui didn't really want to hear these things anymore. He had heard them countless times since he was a child.

"In short, this family is now in your hands." Grandpa touched his family robe.

This was passed down from our ancestors. When my great-grandfather went bankrupt, all the valuables in the house were taken away, but this family robe was left behind. Outsiders have no need for this at all.

"Grandpa, I will definitely do my best to support this family." Yan Hui put on his clan robe, stood up, and felt like a completely different person.
