Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1127 Marriage is not the destination of love (New book seeking collection and recommendation)

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I'm just lucky. I mean, I'm very fortunate."

"When I came to Fengtian, I was shocked by this big city, really. So many tall buildings, such wide roads, so many cars, so many people. At that time, I was really under a lot of pressure, and I even wanted to go back to my county town immediately."

At that time, Xiaohong asked me to stay and keep her company. I gritted my teeth and stayed; I'm a man, I can't just leave my wife here all alone and run away.

The audience laughed, and Xiao Wei continued, "Later, I went to learn to be a chef. Because chefs in Fengtian earn high wages and don't have to work in the wind and rain. Later, I met Lao Xia in the chef training class, and that was probably the turning point in my life."

Xia Maosheng waved Xia Gengsheng's little hand.

"We discussed it and felt that the chef training program was quite lucrative, so we decided to give it a try. That's when I met Xiaohui. We lived in the same building, one floor above the other, and he rode his Happiness 250 motorcycle, which was always billowing black smoke. He was so cool."

Chen Hui lifted Xiao Xiao Hui up and shook him.

Xiao Wei said, "We went to Longcheng. Lao Xia contacted the Longcheng Labor Bureau and talked about jointly running a chef training class. At that time, we didn't have much money and couldn't start it on our own. I'm very grateful to Director Wang for his support back then."

Director Wang, who had already taken office as the director of the office of the Provincial Department of Labor, waved his hand.

"We brought a new approach to employment to the Longcheng Labor Bureau. The Longcheng Labor Bureau gave us support and hope, and the training course was successfully held. We were very fortunate and successful. We taught people who were preparing for employment a life skill and also earned our first money."

"Then we set up a food factory, opened a cake shop, and also a restaurant. Here we also want to thank Fifth Brother, the fifth-generation successor of Longcheng Anji Bone Broth, who shared his family's secret recipe with us and opened the first Anji Old Restaurant in Fengtian."

Xiao Wei waved to An Laowu, who then stood up and gave a half bow.

"We've come this far step by step, and there's nothing particularly remarkable about it. If there's anything to be proud of, it's that the three of us have been able to truly trust, respect, and support each other all the way through.

That's why we call the company "Brothers." Brothers united can move mountains, and I believe we'll continue to walk together in the future; we're intertwined for life. Speaking of brothers, Fifth Brother is also our brother. Later, Fifth Brother could have easily opened his own restaurant, but he still stayed with us.

And then there's Liu Hongliang, also a brother. We set up a pig farm specifically to supply restaurants, and Hongliang went out of his way to find agricultural universities and started a feed company out of nothing. Now our feed is sold throughout Northeast China, and Hongliang deserves all the credit—he's the one who did the most.

Liu Hongliang stood up with a smile and waved.

"And then there's Brother Xu. He's the manager of our furniture factory. All of our stores were personally designed by Brother Xu, and he and his apprentices painstakingly built them, nail by nail, including this one. You could say that Brother Xu deserves 30% of the credit for our restaurant's success, and Brother Wu deserves 50%. The three of us brothers really benefited from it."

Factory Director Xu stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"There's also Brother Long here, Xie Xiaolong. Without him, the food factory would still be an inconspicuous workshop in Longcheng. Brothers don't distinguish between men and women. There's also Li Wen, who is also our good brother. This thin and weak little girl has supported the development of our entire Romantic House."

She was the manager of our first store, our first city manager. From just one store to now having branches all over Northeast China, she has poured her heart and soul into it. Li Wen, you are the best!

Xiao Liwen blushed and stood up, waving her hand. Many people exclaimed in surprise, "This little girl is so inconspicuous!"

"There are many other brothers, but I won't mention them all. Today is my wedding with Xiaohong, so we can't turn it into a company meeting. You ask me why I succeeded? I just want to say: seriousness, sincerity, honesty, and practicality."

We do everything meticulously, treat everyone sincerely, and are honest with our customers and partners, ensuring our consumers get value for their money. This is the secret to our success, and it will never change.

Secretary Quan, now Director Quan, sat in the middle and led the applause, saying to Old Chen sitting to the side, "He's got talent; you've struck gold!"

Old Chen said, "This kid is honest and really takes things seriously."

The host, recovering from his shock, smiled and said, "One last question. How much money did you initially invest?"

Xiao Wei scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I put in a little over 20,000, less than 30,000. That's more than two years' worth of my salary and bonuses."

The host turned to the audience and said, "Do you know the current output value of our sister company? Would you like to know?"

"think."

The host winked mischievously at Xiaowei: "Can I say it?"

Xiao Wei nodded.

The host said, "As of today, the fixed assets of the Brothers Group are valued at RMB 1.73 billion. In 1994, it paid more than RMB 130 million in taxes and profits. Its subsidiaries are located throughout the three northeastern provinces, Inner Mongolia, Beijing and Tianjin, with a total of more than 27,000 employees."

More than 3,300 families have become wealthy through the support of our sister company, with over 3,300 households earning over 10,000 yuan. Furthermore, our sister company has established a scholarship program for university students, which has helped nearly 700 impoverished students complete their studies this year alone.

To help children in the mountains receive an education, our bride today, Ms. Wang Xiaohong, donated nearly five million yuan to build three boarding primary schools and one modern high school in her hometown county.

To help farmers get rich, our company has built more than 20 breeding and planting bases throughout the province and is continuing to expand, extending our successful model to more remote mountain villages and making a huge contribution to the food supply for our urban residents.

I think we should give them a round of applause right now and sincerely wish them a happy and fulfilling life together, growing old side by side.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted, and Xiaowei, holding Xiaohong's hand, bowed deeply to the audience below the stage.

Secretary Gu clapped his hands gently and nodded to Secretary Yue: "It's really not easy. What an amazing young man."

Secretary Yue laughed and said, "Old Quan and I both let go, but you've picked up a free lunch."

Secretary Gu smiled and shook his head: "He built such a big business in Longjiang, but you still reaped the benefits."

After the applause subsided, the host said, "Next, please welcome our officiant, Minister Chen of the Electric Industrial Development Bureau, to the stage to give a speech."

Old Chen stood up, slowly walked onto the stage, and took the microphone.

"It is an honor to be the officiant at today's wedding."

I watched several children grow from nothing to this point over several years, and to be honest, I was shocked. As an official, I know how difficult this kind of development is and how complicated it is to manage various relationships.

But the children accomplished it quietly, and I, their father who was a high-ranking official, didn't even play a significant role in it. This made me feel a little ashamed, but also very proud.

Today is Xiaowei and Xiaohong's big day. I want to tell you that marriage is just the beginning of life; your lives are just starting from this moment. Marriage is not the destination of love, but the beginning of responsibility.

From this day forward, you are husband and wife. You must support and supervise each other, raise your children, respect your elders, and work together to strive for a better and happier tomorrow, and contribute to social development.

I hope you will keep these things in mind.
