Chapter 388: Mother Han Educates Her Son
Li Ping'an has been paying attention to Suning's every move. When he saw Suning spending another lavish $1.7 million to buy antiques at Sotheby's auction house, Li Ping'an didn't know what to say.

Thinking of the news notified by his superiors, Li Ping'an sighed and went to find Suning, and then told Suning the decision of his superiors, which was also a great news.

Suning looked at Li Ping'an in front of him, and then heard the news he brought. Suning was shocked at this time. His Hongtu Automobile could finally be sold in the mainland.

It just so happened that his own Hongtu Automobile was going to launch the third generation of Hongtu Automobile in 1983, and the price of the first generation of Hongtu Automobile was also going to plummet. A price plunge in two years would also be acceptable to customers.

"Brother Li, are you serious? Are you kidding me?"

"Haha, of course it's true. I don't have time to chat with you here." Li Pingan looked at the shocked Su Ning and understood him. "But the specific matters still need to be discussed in person by both parties."

"I know! I'll arrange for Hongtu Auto's general manager, Yang Huajian, to talk to the authorities. It just so happens that Hongtu Auto will have a major operation next year, 1983."

"Oh? What big operation?"

"The third-generation Hongtu will be launched in July next year, and the price of the first-generation Hongtu will plummet. This will enable us to quickly capture the global auto market."

"Ah? The price plummeted?" Li Ping'an widened his eyes in surprise.

"Yes! There's still a big gap between Hongtu Auto and Japanese, American, and German automakers, so we absolutely can't stick to the old ways." Suning has nothing to hide from Li Ping'an, its "mentor." "Releasing new products every one to two years is one of our winning strategies. Another is the sharp drop in the price of the first generation of cars."

"Suning, you're playing a big game this time!" Li Ping'an knew clearly how popular Hongtu Automobile was in the international market, and a sharp drop in prices would immediately trigger a buying frenzy.

"Yes! So I need support from the mainland."

"Well, Suning, I understand what you mean." Li Pingan nodded in understanding. "I will report this to my superiors as soon as possible. I believe they will support you and Hongtu Auto."

Now Hongtu Auto and mainland enterprises complement each other, because most of Hongtu Auto's parts come from various mainland factories. The innovation of technology and production lines is of great help to mainland factories. Therefore, many people are happy to see Hongtu Auto move to a higher level.

In February 1983, Nancy gave birth to a daughter for Su Ning. Su Ning was surprised and named the child Han Rui (Su Rui). This was Su Ning's first child in this world.

Because of the birth of the child, the father-in-law and mother-in-law, who had been in the United States, also flew back to Hong Kong. The two families happily welcomed the arrival of the little life.

Both Grandpa Guan and Marquis Polan handed over their collections to Suning's museum and signed a contract. In order to ensure the legality of the contract, their son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter who were far away in the United States were called back and also signed their names on the contract.

Hou Polan also followed suit and asked his daughter Hou Su'e to sign her name as well, showing her support for Suning's ideals with practical actions, which moved Suning deeply. His original attitude of taking things as they come suddenly became more determined.

Mr. Guan's son and daughter-in-law have worked hard in the United States for many years. To be honest, it must not have been easy. They must have suffered a lot that ordinary people could hardly understand. So when they saw such a huge sum of money as $200 million, they were stunned for a while, and then they became ecstatic and signed their names on the contract immediately.

Guan Xiaoguan was completely bewildered when she saw Su Ning in front of her. At this moment, she was sure that she had not recognized the wrong person. But when she saw Nancy appear with a child in her arms, Guan Xiaoguan widened her eyes in shock.

"Nancy, is it really you?"

"Hehe, Gillian, long time no see!"

"You and Suning have already..."

"Yes! Suning and I already have a child."

"Wow! The baby is so cute. Has he been given a name yet?"

"Yes! Han Rui."

"Han Rui? What a nice name! Come on, give me a hug."

"Xiaoguan, do you know each other?" Guan Xiaoguan's parents looked at each other curiously, and then Guan's mother looked at Guan Xiaoguan curiously.

"Mom and Dad, Nancy was my classmate at the University of Southern California."

"Uncle, aunt, hello!" Nancy looked at Guan's father and mother and greeted them with a smile.

"Mom and Dad, now that I'm back this time, I plan to stay in the mainland to take care of grandpa." Guan Xiaoguan suddenly looked at his father and mother.

"Huh? Fine!"

Hearing about his granddaughter Guan Xiaoguan's plan, Grandpa Guan was undoubtedly the most surprised. He really wanted his family to be around. Then he looked at Su Ning and said, "Chunming, you heard it too. Tell me how to arrange for the lazy cat?"

"Haha, old man, let the little lazy cat go to Yuebin Catering and give her 5% of the shares as dividends."

"Huh? Only 5 percent?"

"Haha, old man, Yuebin Catering now has four restaurants in Beijing that are much larger than Fengzeyuan. A 5% dividend from the shares is a huge sum of money."

"Well, that's pretty good." After hearing Suning's explanation, Mr. Guan was satisfied.

Seeing that Grandpa Guan's granddaughter had been arranged a job and was also given shares and dividends, the ragged Hou beside him became anxious, "Chunming, where is my daughter Hou Su'e?"

"Huh? Sister Hou isn't really suitable for a restaurant. I'll help her keep an eye out for a job."

"Well, I'm waiting for your news."

"Haha, don't worry! I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Mr. Guan, who had been enjoying his stay in Hong Kong, changed his mind because of Guan Xiaoguan's sudden return. He suddenly wanted to return to Beijing to live. Then Suning brought everyone back to Beijing in a grand manner.

A hotel in Beijing.

Su Meng's uncle Jin Changsheng was arranged in this hotel by Su Meng and his sister like a "thief", and was also told not to meet his brother-in-law, Teacher Su, so as to prevent Teacher Su from getting excited and having a heart attack.

Jin Changsheng was also very helpless, because for reasons known to everyone, he had brought a lot of trouble to the Su family while in Hong Kong. Su Meng's family was also very aggrieved during those years, so Jin Changsheng also felt like he was atonement when he came back this time.

As soon as Su Meng arrived at the hotel, she was pleasantly surprised and hugged her uncle, "Uncle, I missed you so much!"

"Haha, Mengmeng has grown into a big girl?"

"Changsheng, why are you back now?" Su's mother looked at her brother with some concern.

"Sister, now that the policy is good, I came back. What's wrong?"

"What else? Aren't you afraid that your brother-in-law will eat you?"

"Huh? Not really!"

"Humph! Whether it's that serious or not, I believe you know it well."

"I know my mistake back then was serious, but I still need to apologize to my brother-in-law." Jin Changsheng looked at his sister with a wry smile, "It's not good to always avoid him like this!"

"This"

"Mom, what my uncle said makes sense. Now that the policy has changed, Dad should understand my uncle." "Okay! I'll take you to meet your brother-in-law."

When Teacher Su suddenly saw his brother-in-law, he was really confused at first. After he came to his senses and saw Jin Changsheng's sincere apology, Teacher Su could only passively accept it.

After all, the past is over and we still need to look forward, so Teacher Su chose to forgive Jin Changsheng. That night, Su Meng suggested that the family go to a restaurant for dinner.

"Uncle, I'm taking you out to eat today."

"Haha, great! I heard Fengze Garden is still there, let's go to Fengze Garden!"

"Uncle, going to Fengze Garden is so old-fashioned. Now when people want Shandong cuisine, they go to Chongyangmen to meet friends."

"Oh? A newly opened Shandong cuisine restaurant?"

"Yes! You'll know when you get there. I'll introduce the history of this restaurant to you, uncle."

"History? What kind of history can a newly opened restaurant have?"

"Haha, this is the novelty of this restaurant." Su Meng kept it a secret.

The Su family came to the Jupengyou Restaurant at Chongyangmen together. Looking at the various high-end imported cars parked at the door, they knew that the Jupengyou Restaurant had a constant stream of guests. Jin Changsheng saw it and felt warm in his heart. He suddenly became determined to open a restaurant in Beijing.

As soon as everyone entered the hall of Jupengyou Restaurant, they saw a small exhibition stand set up in the center of the hall. Inside the glass cover of the exhibition stand was a small enameled bowl, which displayed its charm exquisitely.

"A small enameled bowl?"

"Yes! Uncle!" Su Meng smiled and introduced her uncle. "There are four tax collectors at Deshengmen, Dongzhimen, Chongyangmen, and Chaoyangmen. Each of them holds a small enameled bowl. They are named after the four small bowls: Tea Fragrance, Wine After Going Away, Gathering Friends, and Returning to the Building. Then the owner of this restaurant opened four restaurants named after these four small bowls."

"Four restaurants?"

"Yes, they specialize in four different cuisines: Sichuan, Guangdong, Shandong, Huaihai and Yangzhou."

"Well, it seems that the capital city is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!" Jin Changsheng sighed, and then suddenly looked at Su Meng, "Mengmeng, what do you say about me opening a restaurant in the capital city too?"

"Ah? Uncle, you're not going back to Hong Kong?"

"No! I'm getting old and I'm a little homesick."

"Uncle, it's certainly good to open a restaurant in the capital. After all, the market is open. Otherwise, the boss of Juyouyou wouldn't have opened four restaurants at once."

"Well, Mengmeng, do you know the owner of this restaurant?" Jin Changsheng looked at his niece Su Meng with a smile, "I want to learn from his experience."

"I don't know him!" Su Meng shook her head and said disapprovingly, "Besides, as a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, do you still need to learn from a mainlander?"

"Huh? That's true!"

Han's mother returned to Beijing again and immediately distributed the things she brought back from Hong Kong to her four children. Han Chunsong and others were extremely surprised, after all, they were all high-quality imported goods.

"My trip to Hong Kong was truly eye-opening!" Han's mother happily boasted to her children, "Hong Kong is truly incredibly developed!"

"Ah? Mom, Xiao Wuzi took you to Hong Kong?" Han Chunsong and the other three widened their eyes in surprise.

"Yeah! Master Guan and Marquis of Pauper went there too."

"What? All the money was paid by Xiao Wuzi?" The second son Han Chunsheng looked at Han's mother in surprise.

"Yes!"

"Hmph! Xiao Wuzi treats outsiders better than his family." The eldest sister-in-law muttered in a sour voice.

After going out for a walk, Han's mother understood a lot of things. Su Ning was not from the same world as Han Chunsong and the others, let alone mutual understanding, so Han's mother pretended not to hear her eldest daughter-in-law's muttering.

"Mom, next time you go somewhere, tell us in advance." Han Chunsong said to Han's mother, "So that we don't have to worry about your safety."

"Haha, okay! I'll definitely do it next time!"

"Mom, where is Xiao Wuzi?" Second sister Han Chunxue looked at her mother in confusion.

"There's no room here, so they've gone back to their own courtyards."

"What? Xiao Wuzi has his own courtyard?" Everyone was shocked again.

"Yes! It's a two-story courtyard house. It's just been renovated and it's incredibly beautiful."

"Ah? How many things has Xiao Wuzi done without telling us?" Han Chunsong couldn't help but say angrily.

"What? Boss, do you have any objections?"

"I"

"Boss, let me ask you, if Xiao Wuzi told you, what could you do to help him?" Mother Han looked at Han Chunsong unceremoniously, "Besides bringing your wife here to make trouble, what else can you do?"

"Mom" Han Chunsong's face turned pale.

"Big Brother, you're the eldest son of the Han family. If you can't be fair and just, then don't act like the head of the family all the time." Mother Han lectured her eldest son, Han Chunsong, for the first time. "Little Wuzi has achieved what he has today through hard work. You can't just take it for granted and go and fight for it."

"Mom, I didn't."

"Hmph! You know it yourself." Han's mother has always been well aware of her children's character and personality. "Also, you all have your own families and careers now. Stop just staring at other people's lives. Living your own life well is the real skill."

"Yes! Mom, I understand." Han Chunsong lowered his head in shame.

"Second brother, don't think that just because you're Xiao Wuzi's second brother, you can order Xiao Wuzi around." After reprimanding the eldest brother, Han Chunsong, Han's mother looked at the second brother, Han Chunsheng, and said, "Chunming doesn't owe you anything. You're married and have children now. Go and earn the life you want."

"I" Han Chunsheng's first thought was to refute, but looking at the boss Han Chunsong with his head down, Han Chunsheng immediately backed down.

"Hey! I know you're all having a hard time. Chunming gives me a living allowance every month." Looking at her children, who were drooping their heads in frustration after being scolded by her, Han's mother felt a pang of distress. "An old woman like me can't spend that much, so I plan to give each of you a thousand yuan every month to help with your household expenses."

"Ah? One thousand?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"One thousand per family, four thousand for four families!" The eldest sister-in-law couldn't help but be greedy. She looked at Han's mother with stars in her eyes, "Mom, how much living expenses does Chunming give you every month?"

"." At this time, Han's mother was really confused. It was the first time she realized that her children were so greedy.

"Get out! Get out of here!"
