After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 197 Pretty Aunt

It’s convenient if you have a car.

Zhou Haoran drove his new car back to his hometown.

Park the car outside and walk back.

From a long distance away, you can hear the chaos in the alley.

Today is neither a holiday nor working hours, so there are not too many people in the alley. They are all gathered outside the Shikumen houses of the Sun and Yu families, and they all stand with their legs crossed, looking inside with worried expressions.

Zhou Haoran pretended to be panicked and ran over, panting, "Aunt, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Haoran?" The fat aunt complained when she saw him, "It's all your TV that caused this!"

There are only seven or eight people here.

They are all uncles or aunts who have been laid off in recent years.

The fat aunt is from the neighborhood committee. She is in her fifties and retired from the factory a few years ago.

Zhou Haoran asked curiously, "What's wrong with the color TV?"

The fat lady said with a headache: "Haoran, you have to think of a way. This color TV...you have to find another way, or don't give it away at all!"

"How can this be possible?" Zhou Haoran said reluctantly, "Aunt, we made money from selling books, and we want to help our neighbors in the alley."

The fat lady sighed, "I know you mean well, but now... oh! There's a commotion over there about the house!"

"what happened?"

Zhou Haoran didn't understand.

The fat aunt then recounted the story of the dispute over the house in vivid detail.

This left Zhou Haoran speechless.

In such an urgent moment, why don't you just keep it short? You had to embellish it, describing it like a story. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were writing a piece of literature!

"Haoran, the two families have gone from fighting over the color TV to fighting over the house." The fat aunt stamped her feet anxiously and lowered her voice. "They even resorted to knife fighting just now, but we persuaded them to stop. I called the Sheng family back."

Zhou Haoran said anxiously, "Why are you still fighting over the color TV? I'm not... Dongfang! Dongfang Lang!"

Soon, Dongfang Lang appeared and ran over.

Zhou Haoran asked, "Dongfang, the balance of the book sales has arrived, haven't you told the aunts?"

Dongfang Lang understood and said quickly, "I'm not sure if the balance will be used for other purposes. What if..."

"What if?" Zhou Haoran looked more anxious than anyone else. "Now that something like this has happened, let's stop overthinking it and solve the problem quickly! Auntie, this is what's going on. We've just received the last payment for our book sales project, and it's over 4 yuan more."

"what?"

The fat aunt's eyes lit up, and she was a little bit unbelievable.

Zhou Haoran said righteously, "My original plan was to give every household a large color TV, but I made a mistake in my calculations and didn't have enough money, so I had to cut the number in half. Now that I have money in the account again, I can distribute the color TVs as originally planned."

The fat aunt's face was surprised and her expression flushed, "Haoran, this color TV... every household has it?"

Zhou Haoran said in a resounding voice: "All of them!"

"Haoran, this is not a joke."

"Really, Auntie, go and tell them! Let's stop fighting over the color TV. Everyone gets it! I can earn more even if I lose my money. Don't let the relationship between us neighbors be ruined."

"Okay, good boy!" The fat aunt knew there was no time to lose, so she quickly ran into the house, "Make way! Make way!"

Zhou Haoran waited for her to leave and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

"Not bad." Dongfang Lang whispered to him, "These past few days, your family, my family, and Sister Suiqing's family have all become very popular. People have been going door to door to ask for mercy. My family has sent more than a dozen bottles of wine."

Zhou Haoran snorted, "This is an era where people laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes. Whoever has money is the boss!"

Dongfang Lang said, "I think I've been controlled by you now."

"It's not even close!"

Zhou Haoran knew the bad nature of human beings, and a TV alone could not solve it.

Dongfang Lang understood what he meant and asked in surprise, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

Zhou Haoran glanced at him and said, "Think carefully about this matter and see what truths you can draw from it. From the world situation and national stability to company management and alley relations, the same principles apply."

"Hmm." Dongfang Lang pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "I just saw Aunt Pretty!"

Zhou Haoran asked: "Where is it?"

"It's right inside." Dongfang Lang looked very happy. "It feels more beautiful than when I was a child."

Zhou Haoran said angrily: "You have some potential!"

However, he also had some expectations in his heart.

Pretty aunt is back?

I don't know if it has changed from what I remember.

The beautiful aunt is from the Sheng family, her name is Sheng Wenwan.

In fact, he is not very old, only ten years older than Zhou Haoran, Dongfang Lang and others.

However, she is older than him. Her father was a wounded soldier who went south with his grandfathers. He was only sixteen years old at the time, the youngest. He got married in the 1960s and had two daughters and a son.

Grandpa Sheng is very handsome and grandma Sheng is also beautiful.

So the children born are all very beautiful.

When she was very young, the boys in the alley all called Sheng Wenwan "Pretty Auntie".

Qiao Suiqing is the most beautiful and promising woman of her generation in the alley.

Sheng Wenwan was a woman of both talent and beauty from the previous generation. She went to a light industry college in the 1980s and was considered one of the first people from the alley to be admitted to university.

She went out early.

Zhou Haoran and Dongfang Lang were still in elementary school, too young to remember them clearly. I heard she came back a few years ago, but left again because of some unpleasant comments in the alley.

After a while, the noise stopped.

A few more people came out of the Shikumen.

Everyone walked towards Zhou Haoran.

Zhou Haoran took the lead and stood on the stone bench next to him, giving a passionate speech.

He said that there was a change of plan and the final payment for the book sale had arrived.

Now that we have money, we don’t have to distribute TVs in half the amount. We can give out large color TVs to every household!

If you have a large color TV at home, you can replace it with a refrigerator.

Sign up for Dongfang Lang.

If nothing goes wrong, the color TV and refrigerator will be returned this weekend.

Led by the fat aunt, the neighbors all started applauding.

There were smiles on their faces.

How could they look like they were arguing with each other in a hasty and angry manner?
Zhou Haoran sighed again and said to them, you are all elders, I hope you can be gentle with your words and not fan the flames by gossiping, especially since Dongfang is going to college and Sister Suiqing is working at a TV station.

If you say it too much, everyone will believe it.

The impact is too bad!
The fat lady took the lead and promised that she would never do it again. She also said that she would go door to door and tell them to control their mouths and stop making sarcastic remarks. A big TV can shut everyone up!

Zhou Haoran didn't believe that a TV could silence them, so he said with emotion: "Aunt Sun, you were laid off a while ago, right? We are seeing more and more people being laid off here. The market is very volatile now, and I'm afraid many people will be laid off."

Everyone sighed.

Zhou Haoran added: "After the Chinese New Year, as long as the conditions permit, I will try to express my gratitude to everyone again!"

The fat lady jokingly asked, "Haoran, do you still want a big color TV?"

"Next time, I won't give out color TVs, I'll just give out cash!" Zhou Haoran smiled, then sighed. "Those from families facing hardship will get more. Those with better conditions will get less. As long as I have the means, I'll help as much as I can." "Haoran, are you serious?"

"Don't be kidding!"

"That's a lot of money!"

"Haoran, you have to save some money too..."

No one quite believed what he said.

Zhou Haoran said seriously, "I mean what I said. I will give everyone red envelopes during the Chinese New Year! However, I have one condition: Aunts, please stop gossiping. Some of the words are too hurtful. Forget about the past. This time, every household will have a big color TV. When it comes to giving out red envelopes during the Spring Festival, it will be different. If you have it, you have it. If you don't, you don't."

……

Sheng Wenwan came back this time to mediate a family dispute between neighbors.

After all, it's her house that they're fighting over.

Soon the incident was settled and she was about to leave.

From her lukewarm attitude, it can be seen that she doesn't have a good impression of the alley in her hometown.

He simply responded with a few words and left alone.

After not seeing her for so many years, she is still that beautiful aunt, with a gentle oval face and eyes that seem to reveal all the worldly wisdom.

Time has left no traces on her face, but instead added a touch of mature charm and style to her. Her bust, as full as a peach, makes her plump yet graceful, and her every frown and smile is full of charm.

Zhou Haoran was about to leave, and watching her skirt swaying as she walked, he called out, "Pretty Auntie!"

Sheng Wenwan turned around, smiling like a flower, "Haoran."

"Piao... ahem..." Zhou Haoran took two steps closer, "Aunt Wan, long time no see."

Sheng Wenwan pursed her lips and said, "Yes, I remember you were still an elementary school student."

"Time flies." Zhou Haoran sighed, "Aunt Wan, why did you leave so soon?"

Sheng Wenwan glanced at him and asked, "You don't want to leave either?"

Zhou Haoran sighed, "The atmosphere in the alley is not suitable for us young people."

Sheng Wenwan chuckled and said, "I just heard them say that you work at a TV station?"

"Yes, Red Star Station."

"Didn't you take the college entrance exam?"

"I took the exam, and like Dongfang, I went to Fudan University." Zhou Haoran pointed in a direction. "Now that the college entrance exam is over, I'm thinking of getting an internship at a TV station and starting a small business."

"Selling books?"

Sheng Wenwan knew what was going on. He and Dongfang were going to deliver large color TVs to every household in the alley.

What a big deal!
I never thought that the two little bastards who used to do bad things in the alley every day could achieve such great success.

"Yeah, I made a little money selling books." Zhou Haoran pointed ahead, "My car is over there. I'll take you home."

"Your car?" Sheng Wenwan was even more surprised. "You still have a car?"

When he arrived at the place, his eyes widened and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

She doesn't understand cars.

But when you see this Mercedes-Benz parked on the side of the road, you know it’s not an ordinary car!

Zhou Haoran opened the passenger door and said, "Auntie Wan, get in the car!"

Sheng Wenwan hadn't recovered from the shock yet and looked at him in amazement, "Is this your car?"

"Yes." Zhou Haoran held her soft waist and pushed her, "Hurry up and get in the car!"

Sheng Wenwan got in the car and sat down, admiring the luxurious interior and feeling the leather seats, as if nothing was real. "Haoran, how much does this car cost?"

"More than a million."

Zhou Haoran replied casually and started the car. The "buzzing" sound seemed to shake Aunt Wan's heart.

Sheng Wenwan felt that she didn't recognize the little ghost next to her, and asked in a trembling voice: "You...how do you have so much money?"

"I did a little business."

Zhou Haoran leaned over, reached out to pull the passenger seat belt, and fastened it around her chest.

Sheng Wenwan felt him accidentally touch her, so she crossed her arms, her attention still focused on the money, and asked in surprise, "Are you a boss now?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Yes, I partnered with a few friends to open a book publishing company."

"Aren't you at the TV station?"

Sheng Wenwan's heart was filled with unfairness.

She doesn't understand what's wrong with this society.

Why did I work so hard, a girl who was once a child of destiny, end up with nothing and even fell into a huge predicament in life? How could such a young man achieve such great success right after entering society?

Not only can he bring honor to his family by giving big color TVs to every household in the alley, but he can also drive this unimaginable million-dollar luxury car!

Zhou Haoran stepped on the accelerator and said as he drove, "If you want to make money, you need social resources. Get the resources at the TV station, and then develop independently in society."

Sheng Wenwan thought for a moment.

I think what he said makes a lot of sense. No wonder he can make money.

Zhou Haoran smiled and asked, "Aunt Wan, where is your home?"

"It's not far, it's in Songjiang."

"What do you do for a living?"

“In elementary school.”

"Elementary school?" Zhou Haoran was slightly startled and turned to look at her. "Auntie Wan, you're a teacher now? I remember you didn't study at a normal school, right? You studied finance, right?"

Sheng Wenwan pursed her lips, "You know all this?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "You are a beautiful aunt. I have always liked you since I was a child. I can never forget you."

"Go to hell!" Sheng Wenwan glanced at him in disapproval. "I left the alley when you were only in elementary school. Do you know what love is?"

Zhou Haoran laughed, "I matured precociously!"

Sheng Wenwan remembered something and couldn't help laughing. "Yeah, precocious. I remember that time, you, Dongfang, Huzi and the others went to peek at Suiqing taking a bath in broad daylight and were caught red-handed. Then you were stripped naked and beaten in the alley."

Zhou Haoran said: "I was almost beaten to death."

"You and Suiqing are both at the TV station. Do you usually interact a lot?"

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Sheng Wenwan quickly avoided the topic.

She has a very outstanding temperament and a very proud figure.

He is no less impressive than Editor-in-Chief Lin of "Family Affairs".

However, the difference between the two is also obvious.

Lin Guiyan has a capable and career-oriented temperament, while Sheng Wenwan has a gentle temperament, and is a good wife and mother.

It depends on appearance...

Aunt Wan is much more beautiful than Editor-in-Chief Lin!

Zhou Haoran always took the opportunity to glance at her from the corner of his eye while looking in the car's rearview mirror, and said casually, "A lot. Sister Suiqing and I are at work, and we always have dinner together."

Sheng Wenwan hummed softly, "You are so capable now, so you should take care of her more at work. She is a girl, so it may not be easy for her at work."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Aunt Wan, tell me about you. Why did you become a teacher?"
