Now that we are reborn, who still wants to be an honest person?

The live stream is about to begin.

Tangtang admires Da Chengzi, who is about to do a live broadcast. She herself would be too embarrassed to talk so freely in front of such a camera.

Just as everyone was curiously observing in the live broadcast preparation room.

Tangtang sniffed.

He asked curiously:
"What does it smell like?"

"Do you guys sell stinky tofu in your live stream?"

The others also looked around.

Actually, when we first arrived at the room, we could smell a strange odor; there was a faint, unpleasant smell permeating the room.

There were only two bosses and a few boss ladies here.

They were too embarrassed to ask directly.

At this point, Tangtang mentioned it.

Others naturally asked what happened.

Fangzhou felt that the smell was somewhat familiar. It wasn't the smell of stinky tofu, but rather the smell of a popular "food" from his previous life.

Big Orange quickly came out and said apologetically:

"Excuse me."

"that……"

"It might taste like canned herring."

"Among the products featured in tonight's live stream was canned herring. I've never seen this before, and even after searching online, the descriptions weren't very clear. I'm curious about what it actually is."

"I just wanted to open a can and see how it went."

"When I explain it, I'll be more confident."

"I didn't expect that either."

"The canned herring smells so bad."

"I never imagined that anyone would like to eat this."

As she spoke, Da Chengzi went to bring in the opened can of herring that was placed on the balcony.

Ark knew about this thing.

No one else has seen it.

Seeing how exaggerated Da Chengzi's words were, everyone gathered around to watch.

This thing was so powerful on the balcony, and now that it's been brought inside, Hong Xiaolong curiously poked at it with his chopsticks.

Good guy.

The whole room looked like a latrine that had been blown up.

The girls turned green with anger and ran out of the office.

But it's a big orange.

We've already experienced that this afternoon.

The reaction at this point wasn't as strong.

Hong Xiaolong also pinched his nose and went outside, looking at Fang Zhou with a resentful expression:

"I remember."

"This canned herring wasn't originally on the list."

"You were the one who suggested adding this canned herring. What the hell are you doing? No one is going to buy this stuff."

"It smells even worse than stinky tofu."

Feng Lili and Luo Yihe also looked at Fang Zhou with curiosity.

It's not that they're delicate; this thing is really quite lethal, and most people couldn't withstand it.

Fang Zhou looked at Hong Xiaolong speechlessly.

"With a brain like yours."

"It's a waste of his talents to be in business."

"I ask you."

"If you live in the dormitory."

"If you see a live stream selling canned herring, and it's supposedly incredibly smelly, tell me, do you want to buy some and trick those bastards in your dorm into trying it?"

Can you still play like this?
Hong Xiaolong was dumbfounded.

I don't know what the situation is like in the girls' dormitory.

But Hong Xiaolong was very clear about it.

In the boys' dormitory.

It's just that making a mess of poop is a bit unsightly.

If anyone saw this can of herring, they would definitely give it to the animals in the dormitory, and they wouldn't complain that the herring was too smelly, they would only complain that it wasn't smelly enough.

This time.

Even Luo Yihe looked at Fang Zhou speechlessly. Could this be the business opportunity that this guy saw from a different angle?

Seeing the big picture in the small details—this person's thought process is quite different from that of ordinary people.

Just thinking about it... what if this thing actually appeared in the dorm...

Grab the asparagus!
……

Mountain dwellings.

It's a restaurant in the suburbs, a kind of private kitchen.

They have their own livestock farms.

and.

It's still high-end.

The most famous dish at this restaurant is the whole pig feast.

They raise pigs on their own farm, the kind that roam freely on an island in the river. If you want to eat them, they'll be slaughtered on the spot.

If you want to eat a whole pig feast, you have to make a reservation a few days in advance.

Moreover, you have to go to the island in advance to select the pigs yourself.

I knew Tangtang's parents were coming.

Fangzhou had pre-booked a whole pig feast at a mountain family's home.

That evening, when Fangzhou and Tangtang arrived at the private restaurant, Tang Jianhuang and Lan Zhiya were already drinking tea in a private room.

"Uncle, Auntie, I'm so sorry we're late."

After coming in.

Fangzhou was the first to greet them.

Open the wine you brought first, and then let the waiter start serving the dishes.

Lan Zhiya looked at the two people in the house.

He smiled and said:

"You are welcome."

“We know Su Jing very well.”

"You all have your own things to do now, so it's important to focus on your work first."

The food was served very quickly.

After all, it was booked in advance.

This restaurant is called "Shanye Renjia," which sounds like a rural, rustic restaurant.

But the buildings here are actually all made of blue bricks and gray tiles, in the style of farmhouses, just like the courtyards in downtown Kyoto. They are simple yet sophisticated, and their quality is quite high.

"Uncle and Aunt, let me offer you a toast first."

Fangzhou raised his glass.

Tangtang just said she wanted to watch Da Chengzi's live stream there.

However, there was no air conditioning there, and there wasn't much to see. After watching the live stream for a while, Fangzhou left with Tangtang.

The live stream proceeded smoothly.

Leave everything else to Hong Xiaolong.

For Hong Xiaolong, who was just starting out in his "entrepreneurial" endeavors, this was a time of great enthusiasm.

I know that Tangtang and Lanzhiya came to Suzhou.

What's more.

The elderly couple must have some complaints about Tangtang not coming home for the holidays, and Fangzhou definitely needs to correct their attitude.

After all, it's a precious pet I've raised for over ten years.

They were just tricked out of their money.

Old Tang found Fangzhou rather disagreeable in every way.

Old Tang's expression softened a bit when he saw that Fangzhou was on the right track.

Lan Zhiya asked Fangzhou:

When do you plan to return to Nanwu?

Lan Zhiya knew very well that if she asked Tang Tang this question, she would definitely stammer and make up an excuse to stay in Sujing, so she could only ask Fang Zhou.

Fangzhou thought for a moment and said:
"If we go back for the Chinese New Year, it should be at the end of the year."

"But in a few days, things should be fine in Sujing."

Old Tang looked up at the ark:

"Going back so late?"

"Nanwu will have an annual meeting for entrepreneurs before the new year, hosted by the Nanwu Chamber of Commerce, but people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau will also be attending."

"Although your company was founded in Suzhou, you are still from Nanjing."

"These activities allow you to meet a lot of people."

"By the time."

"It's good for you too."

"The date is set for the 25th."

Fangzhou was taken aback:

"Did you plan this out?"

"Su Jing also held this entrepreneurs' annual meeting, and the time was only one day different from Nanwu's."

Old Tang wasn't too surprised.

Given the speed at which Fangzhou is rising, there are countless people watching him.

The reason why officials haven't approached him directly is because Fang Zhou is still young, and also because they want to observe him further. After all, Jiangnan is a major economic province, and some restraint is necessary.

In some less developed areas, Ark would be very busy right now.

Various associations will come knocking on our door.

Old Tang asked:

"Did you promise them?"

"These kinds of interpersonal relationships don't usually have any effect unless there are shared interests."

"But sometimes, fellow villagers can also lend you a helping hand."

"The premise is."

“At least you haven’t fallen out with them.” “And this kind of ‘fellow townsman’ relationship isn’t defined by where you are, but by where you come from.”

"For example, if you're developing your business in Suzhou and someone gets into a conflict with you, it's very likely that the other party also works for a company in Suzhou. If you really need help, it will definitely be a friend or someone from your hometown..."

Old Tang gave Fangzhou a basic introduction to the affairs between merchant guilds and chambers of commerce.

Some business owners with average net worth might be aware of these things.

However, Ark doesn't know much about it.

Old Tang's identity is revealed here.

He is also the vice president of the Suzhou-Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

They definitely want to get closer to the Fangzhou and Nanwu Chamber of Commerce.

Fangzhou nodded slightly:

"I had Chen Jing attend the annual meeting in Sujing."

"But from Southern Wu."

"I doubt I'll have time to go."

"I might go to Hong Kong then, not necessarily to Suzhou or Nanjing, so let's just skip this entrepreneurs' annual meeting."

Fangzhou mentioned the port city.

Tang Jianhuang and Lan Zhiya exchanged glances.

The couple knew quite well about the Fang family's situation and also knew who Fang Zhou was going to Hong Kong for.

They didn't express their opinion on this matter, but simply nodded to indicate that they understood.

Even Tangtang, who was standing next to her, didn't ask a question.

The group started chatting about everyday things.

Tang Jianhuang thought of what his wife had told him about the Ark.

He patted Fangzhou on the shoulder and said:

"You kid."

"I'll just tell you directly what's on my mind."

"I heard you've been making quite a stir in Suzhou lately. You'd better keep a low profile."

"Your popularity has increased recently, and many people are keeping an eye on you."

"There are also some people."

"We're just waiting for you to make a mistake."

"Sometimes your approach to things is just too forceful."

"In business, there's absolutely no need for that. Who knows, someone might trip you up one day, and you'll suffer the consequences."

Fangzhou gently turned the small wine cup in front of him.

Suddenly looking up, he said:

"I'm still young, and I can't pretend to be mature."

"That's just my personality; I don't like pointless pretense."

"in my opinion."

Life is like climbing a mountain.

"The view from the top of the mountain must be even better, and I'm willing to climb up. No matter how hard or tiring it is, it's still an experience."

"But what if the road up the mountain has been blocked by someone?"

"If you want to get past, you have to be humble and obedient."

"I think so."

"It's not bad to look around from the foot of the mountain."

"If I'm really not as good as someone else and get defeated, then I'll just find a rich woman and live off her."

Old Tang rolled his eyes at the kid, annoyed.

Lan Zhiya was amused.

But soon.

Lan Zhiya could no longer laugh.

At that moment, Tangtang was raising her hand high and shouting:
"Find me, find me."

"I will make lots of money and become a rich woman..."

That silly girl!

Tang Jianhuang and Lan Zhiya shook their heads helplessly.

Seeing her parents roll their eyes, Tangtang just grinned foolishly.

Under the table.

She tightened her grip on Fangzhou's hand.

To outsiders, and even to his own parents, it was just a joke Fang Zhou made casually.

But Tangtang could sense it.

Those were all Fangzhou's true thoughts.

It was Fangzhou's carefree attitude and "no regrets after making a move" that deeply attracted Tangtang.

this moment.

She seems to understand the Ark better now.

Tangtang's seemingly joking remark was actually serious.

Knowing that Fangzhou definitely wouldn't like this topic, Tang Jianhuang turned and asked about the establishment of Qihang Group.

"This is a big deal."

"It's not about opening a shop."

"It seems you didn't invite any people to the launch ceremony."

Ark didn't care:
"It's just a matter of integrating several companies; it's an internal matter, and we don't want to make a big fuss about it."

"The guests will be senior executives from the company, as well as friends from the industry."

Tang Jianhuang shook his head helplessly:

"I've never seen anyone achieve this much at your age."

"What's even more unbelievable is that, having reached your current level, you're still so carefree. I really don't know how you managed to build such a company with such a lazy personality."

"They don't have any youthful energy at all."

"Such a big deal."

"It's like you've set up your own business."

“You’re setting up a formal ceremony; that’s not ostentation.”

"Just like the old tradition, when a shop opens, it is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to let others know. This not only represents that it is starting to welcome customers, but also lets people know about the shop."

"It's not just customers who will come."

“Those with talent will also come.”

"However, it's also correct that you singled out the convenient bikes."

“If you really want to bring convenient bikes into Qihang Group, those companies that received funding last time won’t agree easily. Besides me, even Lao Hong might not be willing.”

"Although you and Xiaolong have a good relationship."

"But business is business."

Old Tang was talking about someone else.

But that's tantamount to making a statement.

If Fangzhou really intends to incorporate convenient bikes into the group, Lao Tang will reluctantly agree.

Fang Zhou shamelessly pretended to be stupid:
"Thank you for your support, Uncle Tang!"

Old Tang paused, then looked at Fang Zhou seriously:
"You're not really planning to sell the convenience bikes, are you?"

Fang Zhou smiled but didn't say anything.

Fangzhou had previously told Lao Tang that bike sharing was just a way for him to make money, and that he would sell the bike-sharing business.

However, the development of convenient bike-sharing has been smooth sailing during this period, and its value has also been growing rapidly.

Old Tang thought Fangzhou wouldn't bring this up.

Look at Fangzhou's expression now.

Clearly, he hadn't given up on his previous ideas, and Old Tang wondered why Ark was behaving this way.

Fang Zhou said calmly:
"There are still constraints to making bicycles convenient."

"At the beginning, it felt fresh and exciting. I had just started university and wanted to find something to do, so I started from the school. I was quite motivated to do it."

"The rest of the process was repetitive and didn't feel very interesting."

Tang Jianhuang and Lan Zhiya both looked at Fangzhou in astonishment.

This kid...

They originally thought...

Ark doesn't plan to operate a shared bike business long-term because of other reasons.

I didn't expect it was just because... it was boring?
Seeing the appearance of the elderly couple.

Fangzhou touched his nose.

He opened his mouth and said:
"Thinking about what Uncle Tang just said, it makes sense."

"The establishment of a group company is indeed not something that can be done casually. We would appreciate it if you could be there to help oversee things."

"I know too."

"I have indeed offended a few people during this period."

"With you here on site, I feel much more at ease."

Old Tang glanced sideways at Fangzhou.

sneered:
"Are you afraid of trouble?"

"Given your personality, you're probably the kind of person who thrives on chaos."

"Besides, the two people from the Pei family and the Zhao family are both managers of subsidiaries, and they also have shares in those subsidiaries."

"With those two standing there, who would dare to cause trouble?"

Fangzhou touched his nose.

Looking at the wine on the table, could it be fake?
Old Tang is not in good condition right now.

Fangzhou knew this too.

As Tangtang's parents.

Seeing this situation, it's perfectly normal to have thoughts in one's mind.

If he hadn't known his daughter was stubborn and couldn't bear to part with her, Old Tang would have already planned to send her abroad.

At this point, merely mentioning it briefly, like giving Fangzhou a little eye drops, is already a sign of restraint.

Tang Jianhuang pondered for a moment and said:
"Since you've asked, I'll definitely go to the store your group opens."

"However, saying I'll stand guard for you is only in line with my brother's authority."

"There's someone much more suitable than me."

Fangzhou looked at Lao Tang in surprise.

Tang Jianhuang also stared intently at Fang Zhou:

"Your maternal grandfather, Fang Shushan." (End of Chapter)
