Chapter 488 Everyone Comes to the Zhao Family to Show Concern
Chen Xiao didn't stay long at the Junxiao Plaza store; once this interruption, his mind was no longer on the matter.
Liu Jingjing hated Zhao Yi to death. She shut him down with just one sentence. He was probably the only person who got kicked out without saying a word when trying to communicate.
I took a break and called Chen Long. He's been busy in Shanghai lately connecting with the supply chain. He's expanded his business so much, and he's personally handling the supply chain to ensure the freshness of the ingredients.
Chen Long was well aware that if there were problems with the ingredients in his seafood buffet restaurant, it would not only affect his business reputation, but also Junxiao Commercial Management, especially the Junxiao City project in Shanghai, which could not be taken lightly.
"Chen Xiao, if you come to Shanghai recently, let's have a meal together. My dad said he hasn't seen him in a long time."
"Okay, please give my regards to my uncle."
He had been waiting for news from Hengyuan Plaza in Shanghai. Xu Jun had given Zhang Ziqian feedback on the situation there a few days ago, saying that there had been progress in communication and that there was one last shareholder left. He was currently focusing on making a breakthrough, and once that was resolved, the major events would be settled.
Xu Jun also provided another piece of information: the location of Shanghai Junxiaocheng, formerly known as Shanghai Huijin Plaza, which was reserved for "Xingque", has been finalized. It is the former location of Patek Philippe, next to Hermès and Chanel.
The design for "Star Palace" has been finalized, and the construction company has once again been chosen to work with Manhua Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd. After her experience decorating the Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center, Li Man's horizons have broadened. Entrusting her with the crucial task of decorating "Star Palace" will be another milestone achievement if she performs well.
Of course, this matter doesn't need to be arranged by him yet. Zhang Shijie has already personally contacted Li Man. After Xu Jun finalized the acquisition of Hengyuan Plaza in Shanghai, Chen Xiao and others plan to go to Shanghai to take a look at the decoration of "Xingque".
After Zhao Xiangjun became pregnant, the entire Zhao family became tense, especially after learning Chen Xiao's identity. They all knew the significance of the baby in Xiangjun's belly.
But what bothered her was that her distant relatives, who usually didn't dare to visit her because they all knew she preferred peace and quiet, now finally had a reason to come and visit, trying to curry favor with her. This led Xiangjun to secretly discuss with Chen Xiao several times that she wanted to go back to Bihu Shuangxi to live, as they couldn't find a place there.
This is a troublesome matter. They are all relatives, and it's difficult for Zhao Xiangjun to refuse. It would be even more inappropriate for Chen Xiao to say so. Just as she was getting annoyed, Zhao Hui called. Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and she answered the phone.
"Mr. Chen, should I go back for a bit?"
Chen Xiao was speechless. If even his brother-in-law couldn't resist coming back to visit, let alone others.
“Brother Hui, it’s fine for you to come back, but you have to deal with all those relatives and friends at once. Xiangjun can’t handle them coming to visit every day.”
“I understand. Another purpose of my trip back is this: I want to gather my relatives together for a meal and give them some instructions.”
Just as he thought, he really understood his sister's personality. "Come back soon, it's been a long time since we had a proper drink together."
Zhao Hui was somewhat moved. President Chen had gone to such lengths, but his attitude towards him had never changed. He truly treated him like family, and he understood that this was all because of his sister.
This is precisely why, although he knew Chen Xiao had many women outside the marriage and had met many of them, he felt no hatred towards them, but rather great respect. He knew that no matter what, Zhao Xiangjun would always be the most important person in Chen Xiao's heart, which directly influenced Zhao Hui as well. Among the families of Chen Xiao's many women, Chen Xiao was the closest to Zhao Hui. Chen Xiao might not have even met or cared about the families of many of them.
"Okay, I'll get everything arranged today, and I plan to return to Jiangzhou tomorrow."
"Returning home in glory, how about I give you a day to rest before we meet again?"
Zhao Hui, who is usually very serious, blushed when Chen Xiao joked with him. He always acted arrogantly in front of others, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he returned home in glory. But he would always remember that without Chen Xiao, he would still be a small-time hoodlum who was just waiting to die, living a life like a walking corpse.
Chen Xiao undoubtedly gave him a new life, and also gave the Zhao family a new life.
Wu Fang looked at the aloof General Manager Zhao and blushed. He was momentarily dazed and rubbed his eyes. Was this still the General Manager Zhao who was criticized as the "Iron-Faced Man"?
Zhao Hui looked over, and Wu Fang quickly lowered his head, pretending he hadn't seen anything.
"No need to rest. I'll come over whenever you have time."
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "How about this, when you come back this time, you can host a banquet for your relatives on the yacht. I'll invite Liu Haoran and Li Guoqiang. You haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's a good opportunity for you to get together."
Yachts? This was the first time Zhao Hui had ever heard of them, and he automatically imagined those private yachts worth tens of millions of yuan.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Chen, I have quite a few relatives."
Chen Xiao clearly understood what he was talking about, and laughed heartily: "Don't worry, that yacht is big enough to hold it all. As for the personnel arrangements and how many cars are needed for pick-up, you can contact Cha Lan in advance."
"Okay!" Since President Chen said so, there's definitely no problem.
The Zhao family's ancestral home, Happiness Garden.
Today, Zhao's father drove home in a Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, a gift from Xiangjun for his birthday.
The Zhao family had become accustomed to this life of luxury and had a dedicated team of chefs at Xiangshan Linyu. When Chen Xiao had all the servants for his villa, he naturally didn't forget about the Zhao family.
In the past, a beat-up Honda Accord was the most expensive item the family owned. Now, even though they drive a Mercedes GLS, Mr. Zhao feels it's just a toy.
As soon as he stopped the car and got out of the driver's seat, several neighbors who had been chatting nearby immediately surrounded him. "Brother Zhao, you just got a new car?"
"Brother Zhao, where have you moved to recently?"
"Yes, we thought you moved in with General Manager Zhao."
Mr. Zhao handed them the "Supreme Emperor" wine. These neighbors, who used to look down on their more successful neighbors in the community, now all had fawning smiles on their faces.
He knew that these people didn't know that his future son-in-law was the boss of Junxiao Group. They were only paying attention to Zhao Hui because he was the vice president of Junxiao Commercial Management, a position that made him a god-like figure in their eyes.
“I recently moved to the city. Ahui lives in Ningxi, and when he comes back, he stays in the city.”
"Brother Zhao, which neighborhood in the city do you live in? Maybe I'll buy one nearby and we can be neighbors."
"Yes, yes, if we live closer, we can often go over and ask for your advice."
These neighbors started giving Zhao Hui free-range chickens and eggs when he was the deputy general manager of Junxiao Plaza Store 1. They had always hoped to use Zhao Hui's connections, because if they could get a little more resources, they could take off.
As a result, the Zhao family moved away without saying a word. None of the neighbors saw them move. Now that they hear he is indeed living in the city, they guess that he probably bought all the new furniture.
Mr. Zhao hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to discourage them, but they kept asking, so he had no choice but to honestly answer, "I live in Xishan Linyu now."
The scene fell silent instantly. The smiles on the faces of several neighbors froze, and the facial muscles of a few people were still twitching.
If it were any other neighborhood, it would be worthwhile to invest in a property near Mr. Zhao just to build a connection with him. But he said it was in Xishan Linyu. It's not that we don't want to follow him, it's that we simply can't keep up. That's the most expensive upscale neighborhood in Jiangzhou. Although these people are doing quite well, Xishan Linyu is not in their world.
Mr. Zhao chatted with them for a few more minutes, then greeted them, saying, "Everyone, I have some relatives coming over later, so I'll go upstairs now. We can get together again another time."
Upon hearing Zhao's father's words, smiles immediately appeared on their faces, and they finally had a legitimate reason to invite Zhao's father again.
In the Zhao family home, Xiangjun's uncle, eldest uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle were all gathered in the living room, the whole family gathered together. The youngest uncle had a key to the house, so he came early to open the door and asked his aunt to boil water and make tea for everyone.
They were all originally going to Xiangshan Linyu, but Zhao's father stopped them. This large group of people going there, chattering away, would drive his daughter crazy. Xiangjun used to prefer staying home and didn't like socializing. Anyone who talked too much in front of her would get a scolding; she hated noise.
"Brother-in-law is back!" "Second brother!" "Second brother is back!"
A group of people stood up in a flash, which showed Zhao's father's status in the family, making him someone that these people were eager to curry favor with.
Mr. Zhao sat down, and his aunt made him some tea. Now, his aunt's family knew exactly where everything was, even better than Mr. Zhao's family, because they often came over to help clean the house.
“Brother-in-law, I’ve watched Xiangjun grow up since she was a child. Now that such a joyous occasion is happening, it won’t do if I’m not allowed to go and see her.”
The younger uncle complained, without even blushing. Xiangjun was raised by her grandmother since she was little, so he didn't know where she was back then. But after she grew up, he often came to Xiangjun to freeload. A few days ago, he even went there and got two bottles to buy a 50-year-old cigarette.
"Second brother, niece Xiangjun is a great benefactor to our whole family, and that little baby is even more precious. We uncles and elders can't help but go and see her."
"Second Brother, the eldest brother is right," the third and fourth uncles shouted together.
Mr. Zhao was exasperated. This wasn't the baby's birth; she had just become pregnant. Why did everyone have to rush over to offer their concern?
“You don’t need to go. I came here today to arrange this. Ah Hui will be back tonight, and he’ll arrange a place for our whole family, including other relatives, to get together tomorrow. Xiang Jun will just show up and then leave. We don’t need to bother her.” The eldest uncle said, “Okay, okay, how about we stay at Lake and Sea Fishing Village? I’ll reserve a table in advance.”
Mr. Zhao shook his head and said, "No need. Chen Xiao has already made the arrangements. Tomorrow we will take his private yacht out to sea, have some fun on the high seas, and eat on the yacht."
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, never expecting to experience the legendary private yacht in their lifetime.
The younger brother seemed to have discovered a key point and asked, "Brother-in-law, is Chen Xiao going to show up tomorrow as well?"
Everyone turned to look at Zhao's father. To the Zhao family, Chen Xiao was a god-like figure. They were a little better when they saw Xiang Jun, after all, he was an elder, and Xiang Jun had always been their favorite little niece.
Chen Xiao was different. They hadn't had much contact with him to begin with, so there was a certain distance between them. But after Zhao Hui introduced Junxiao Group last time, their hearts started pounding whenever they thought of Chen Xiao.
Mr. Zhao nodded: "He will definitely go. He usually trusts Xiangjun when she's at home, so he'll definitely go with her on this sea voyage."
The group of people immediately got excited, especially the younger uncle, who exclaimed, "I haven't seen Chen Xiao for several days. I must have a good talk with him again tomorrow!"
My aunt-in-law just came out of the kitchen and, hearing this, immediately interrupted, "What nonsense! Last time I saw Chen Xiao, he was trembling with fear. Besides, what could you possibly talk to him about? How much money do you make in a month?"
Everyone else immediately knew that Uncle had recently met Chen Xiao, which was the purpose of his earlier statement. Seeing the envious eyes of the old folks around him, Uncle was extremely proud and immediately scolded Aunt, "What do you know? My brother and I had a very pleasant chat in the living room. By the way, go home and bring the tea that Chen Xiao gave me for everyone to try. Let me tell you, it's tea that costs nearly 100,000 yuan per kilogram. I usually can't even bear to drink it myself."
My aunt shook her head. The old man just liked to show off. She went downstairs to get some tea, and everyone else was indeed very envious. At this moment, my uncle added, "He also gave me two bottles of 50-year-old Moutai. No, he was supposed to give me a whole case, but my wife said she couldn't handle it, so she only kept two bottles. I won't give you any of this liquor; I want to keep it as a collectible."
"And 50-year-old Moutai?" This made Uncle San incredibly envious. He immediately asked Zhao's father, "Second Brother, do you have any of these things?"
The uncle was taken aback, then realized that the expert was sitting right there, and it seemed he had chosen the wrong place to brag.
Father Zhao hummed in agreement: "We have several kinds of tea at home, I don't know which one he's referring to. As for wine, I have some in my storage room, I'll give each of you some to try later."
The group immediately cheered, but the uncle's face fell. This show-off had actually benefited them, and he said sullenly, "What's the point of tasting that wine? It costs hundreds of thousands a bottle. Are we worthy of drinking it?"
Mr. Zhao exclaimed, "A few hundred thousand per bottle?"
My uncle nodded. "Yeah, you didn't know?"
Mr. Zhao shook his head. "Of course I didn't know. If I did, I wouldn't have been drinking a bottle every day for so many days."
"."
A bottle of wine that costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, and you drink one every day? That's not how a person lives.
His words silenced everyone. Ever since Zhao Hui helped this family find jobs, their lives have improved, especially Fourth Uncle's. He's driving a Mercedes-Benz S-Class now. In the surrounding villages, everyone knows that Fourth Uncle is very powerful now, and everyone knows that he's a big boss.
Uncle Zhao's fourth uncle's Le Di store in Junxiao Plaza, Jiangzhou, is now making a profit of nearly one million yuan every month, which makes his third uncle and eldest uncle very envious. Unfortunately, neither of their families knows how to do business. Recently, they have been thinking about having a good talk with their nephew Zhao Hui, who is knowledgeable and experienced, and could give them some pointers.
Human desires are endless. Before, I did odd jobs and earned a few thousand yuan a month. There were at least a few months a year when I couldn't find work. Suddenly, I started working at Junxiao Plaza, sitting in a spacious and bright office with central air conditioning, earning an annual salary of nearly 20 yuan, and having six insurances and one housing fund. I suddenly felt that I had reached the pinnacle of my life.
But ever since he learned that his niece's husband was worth hundreds of billions, he immediately felt that even if that person had casually given him the opportunity, it would have been incredible. Wasn't his fourth uncle just someone who had said something to Xiangjun back then?
They had been looking for such an opportunity, but Xiangjun was very aloof. Unless it was a family gathering she couldn't refuse, she was rarely seen. This time, they planned to use her pregnancy as an excuse to visit, and with a casual remark, the second son blocked them at the door, refusing to let them in.
Thankfully, as we just discussed, we're going to a private yacht tomorrow. How big can that yacht be? Hopefully, I'll finally have a proper chat with Xiangjun this time.
At this moment, Uncle San asked curiously, "Second Brother, we don't understand President Chen's business, but we heard that Junxiao Commercial Management is expanding its territory everywhere. Last time he said that he had a net worth of several hundred billion. We haven't seen him for a month. I guess his net worth has increased by several billion."
Before Zhao's father could speak, his eldest uncle laughed first: "Third brother, do you think this is child's play? What business can earn billions a month? We all hope Chen Xiao is doing well and that he can earn more, but that has to be in accordance with objective laws."
Fourth Uncle shook his head and said, "You don't do business, so you don't know how powerful Junxiao Group is. I feel that several billion is about right."
The group looked at Zhao's father at the same time. "Third brother said billions, is that right?"
Mr. Zhao shook his head. "How could it possibly be billions—"
The eldest uncle said, "See? I knew it was impossible to earn that much." The third uncle retorted, "It's only a matter of time. Even if we can't do it now, we'll definitely be able to earn billions a month in the future."
Upon hearing this, Zhao's father sighed, wondering how he could explain it.
When Uncle San heard his second brother sigh, he was startled: "What happened? Has President Chen's net worth shrunk?"
"Third brother, don't jinx it." "Yeah, third brother, don't talk nonsense, it's scary."
The Zhao family's current glory rests entirely on Chen Xiao's shoulders. If anything happens to him, the entire Zhao family will be on edge.
Mr. Zhao shook his head. "I'm not too sure either. I just heard from Ahui that his assets should be worth trillions now."
puff-
bang-
My third uncle plopped down on the ground, accidentally knocking over my eldest uncle's teacup. Just then, my aunt came in and, seeing this, joked, "You knew I was coming to change your tea, but you can't just break all the cups!"
Normally, the group would have joked with her, but everyone present was shocked by Zhao's father's words. A trillion assets—what kind of concept is that?
Previously, people thought Chen Xiao's assets of several hundred billion were already a miracle. Now, with assets of one trillion, he has instantly surpassed the richest person in China, and even the combined assets of the top few richest people don't equal Chen Xiao's.
Moreover, most of the wealth of those richest people is in stocks, while Chen Xiao's wealth is all in fixed assets, so the difference in value is far greater.
For some reason, the aunt-in-law seemed to have been collectively acupunctured, and came over to say, "I'll change your tea leaves."
The tea they started brewing was leftover from before, and it wasn't bad, except that Chen Xiao had brought his uncle some new tea last time.
At this moment, everyone came to their senses. The younger uncle sighed and said, "Our Zhao family is blessed by the God of Wealth. No wonder I always felt that Xiangjun was extraordinary. She is so beautiful. She is the embodiment of the essence of heaven and earth. Now it has proven that my discerning eye is indeed correct."
My aunt had just put down her tea when she heard this and spat, "Stop bragging! If you're so insightful, why did you advise my brother-in-law to agree to Wang Hao's marriage back then?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao's father looked somewhat embarrassed. He recalled that at the time, he too had felt the Wang family was indeed a good match. Back then, the family was terrified of poverty and always thought that his daughter could have a better life in the Wang family and that they could also help out. Now, thinking back, he was fortunate that Xiangjun was independent and that the family couldn't force her on this matter; otherwise, the Zhao family wouldn't be where it is today.
After being repeatedly thwarted, the uncle got angry and said, "You old hag, you always bring up the wrong thing! That happened eight hundred years ago, why are you bringing it up?"
My aunt snorted and sat down to the side: "You all just got lucky and met Xiangjun. So stop patting yourselves on the back and bragging. It's just making us a laughing stock."
The younger uncle's face turned red from being choked by her words, and he could only call out to everyone, "Try it and see how it is. If it's good, we'll get some from my second brother-in-law later."
The others were also embarrassed by what their aunt had said. It wasn't just their uncle who felt this way; almost everyone was in a similar situation.
Uncle San coughed twice. "That old Wang, he drives for me every day now, and he's still sitting in the car downstairs right now."
Wang Hao's father, the once arrogant and domineering CEO of the Zhao family who treated Zhao Hui like a nobody, has now been reduced to being his third uncle's driver. However, his third uncle has taken care of him, even handling the disinfection project for the Xinyue Plaza store for him, making it much easier for CEO Wang to get orders outside by leveraging that reputation. He also has another reason for currying favor with his third uncle: he hopes that one day Zhao Hui will show him some favor, at which point he can truly take off.
Mr. Zhao glanced at the time. "Ahui should be here soon."
My aunt said, "I'll go to the balcony and keep an eye on it. I recognize his car." The Guanghui 009 is still very recognizable.
Tonight, Zhao Hui arranged a dinner party, inviting all the main relatives in the family. The main purpose was to make unified arrangements for tomorrow's itinerary. It wasn't just them who were going to see Xiangjun; there were also some relatives, such as the sisters of Fourth Aunt and the brother of Third Aunt. These were people Xiangjun didn't know at all, but they all came to join in the fun. It's true what they say: when you're poor, no one cares even in the bustling city; when you're rich, distant relatives come even in the deep mountains.
Also coming to visit are Zhao Hui's wife, Wang Yan's parents, and brothers. Ever since Zhao Hui's family moved into Xiangshan Linyu, the relatives have learned about Zhao Hui's current status. Wang Yan's status in her maternal family is exceptionally high. After some inquiries, they naturally learned the reason for the Zhao family's rise to prominence: it was because Wang Yan's sister-in-law found a perfect husband.
I rarely get a chance to get close to someone, so I can't let this opportunity slip by. (End of Chapter)
