Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 271 The Heroic Tang Dynasty Resurfaces
Zeng Xiangdong knew that Mu Qingyang was a shy and introverted girl. Hearing her apology, he smiled and waved his hand, not caring at all.

Mu Qingyang was extremely embarrassed and secretly resented Zeng Wenjie for not speaking properly!
Zeng Wenjie found it somewhat amusing; Xiao Mu was behaving just like Shi Jing, as if he was bad at Chinese and was simply parroting what others were saying.

"It's our first meeting, and I don't have any nice gifts prepared, so I'll give you a pair of cotton slippers and insoles." Han Yu picked up a paper bag and handed it to Mu Qingyang.

Mu Qingyang was taken aback for a moment, then happily accepted it, saying, "Thank you, Auntie!"

Han Yu also knew that Mu Qingyang was a lady from a prominent family, and that gifts of gold, silver and jade would not be of much interest to her. It would be better to give her some of her own handmade products.

"Oh, right, there's also a pair of woolen gloves inside. It's cold in Fengzhou in the mornings and evenings, remember to wear them," Han Yu said.

"Mmm-hmm!" Mu Qingyang looked at the pair of cotton slippers, several pairs of insoles, and a pair of gloves in the bag, her eyes filled with happiness.

One of Xiao Mu's biggest hobbies is receiving gifts!

She was clearly overjoyed to receive three different gifts at once.

Zeng Xiangdong asked Zeng Wenjie, "When does school let out for holiday?"

"It'll be soon. They'll be released on the 22nd, which is only about twenty days," Zeng Wenjie said.

In the blink of an eye, the enjoyable first semester of freshman year is drawing to a close.

Han Yu asked Mu Qingyang, "Little Mu, when are you going home? Remember to have Zeng Wenjie take you to the airport."

Mu Qingyang was stunned after hearing this, then slowly put down the bag in his hand, shook his head, and said, "I might not go back until the third day of the Lunar New Year."

Zeng Xiangdong asked in surprise, "Aren't you going home for the New Year? Why are you only going back on the third day of the Lunar New Year?"

Mu Qingyang smiled and said, "I'll go back on the third day of the Lunar New Year to burn paper money for my mother and grandmother. I'll stay in Fengcheng for the New Year. I like it here."

"..."

The couple exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Zeng Xiangdong instinctively wanted to ask about her other relatives, but then he thought it was inappropriate, since Mu Qingyang had said she would stay here for the New Year, which obviously meant she had a lot of conflict with her family.

"It's still a long way from the New Year, hurry up and start eating, I'm starving!" Zeng Wenjie shouted, interrupting the conversation.

When the food was served, Han Yu asked Mu Qingyang about his well-being during the meal.

She just thought the girl was too well-behaved and had no airs of a rich girl. Her eating manners were especially cute, with small bites and frequent eating, and her cheeks were always stretched out like a round groundhog.

Zeng Xiangdong then began to talk to Zeng Wenjie about the gold shop, as he planned to open another gold shop in Shizhu County.

Although Shizhu County is small, it is a place that residents of several surrounding towns often come to. When they get married and hold a banquet, they all have to buy gold jewelry.
Zeng Wenjie refused outright, saying, "Don't forget our brand image. It's an international brand. Wouldn't it lower our prestige to open a branch in a county town? If we're going to open one, we should open them in major second- and third-tier cities and then gradually move into first-tier cities."

Zeng Xiangdong thought it made sense, so he asked, "The lucky charms are selling very well, how are the online sales?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "They're selling well. After all, lucky charms are cheap; you can buy one for a hundred or two hundred yuan, so people aren't too worried about being scammed."

After the lucky charm was launched, it was snapped up by customers offline, with stores selling up to a thousand pieces a day.

After being listed on the online store, it attracted attention, with the 88 yuan item being the most ordered.

In fact, Zeng Wenjie has to pay out of his own pocket for every order of the 88-yuan lucky charm sold online, since he has to pay for authentication and express delivery out of his own pocket.

But this kind of business, which loses money to gain publicity, must be done. Once brand trust is built up, it will boost sales of other gold jewelry.

He's paving the way for his Palace Museum series!
When the collaboration with the Palace Museum is completed, it will be the only one of its kind in the entire country. I don't believe those vain rich women won't open their wallets, or force their boyfriends or husbands to open their wallets.

“I feel like I’m dreaming. I worked so hard running around selling goods, and how much money did I actually accumulate? Now I run a gold shop, and my daily revenue can reach over a million yuan, with a net profit of tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan. It’s unbelievable,” Zeng Xiangdong said.

Zeng Wenjie said, "Next year I plan to donate some money to Sichuan Province to build school buildings for the children there."

Zeng Xiangdong was stunned when he heard this. Mu Qingyang weakly stretched out his hand and said, "Count me in, I want to donate too."

“I won’t comment much, but I just want to say that our province is much poorer, so why do you insist on donating to Sichuan Province?” Zeng Xiangdong raised an eyebrow and asked.

“I have my own ideas,” Zeng Wenjie said, shaking his head.

Zeng Wenjie was powerless to change the human tragedy; he could only do his best to save as many people as he could.

Just like Doss on Hacksaw Ridge, he couldn't stop the war, but he would do his best to do what he could.

Zeng Wenjie was even prepared to be scolded by Zhuang Aimin after doing this, since Chongshan had given him so much support, and it was a bit unreasonable for him to go to Xishu to donate.

But when doing good deeds, it's more important to have a clear conscience; the people there need earthquake-resistant buildings more.

"Why do they all want to donate to Xishu Province?" Han Yu couldn't help but mutter.

“All?” Zeng Wenjie keenly caught the word.

Han Yu nodded and said, "I read in a magazine a few days ago that there was a businessman named Tang Xia who donated over a thousand school buildings in Western Sichuan over the past six years. Moreover, all of them used Japanese earthquake-resistant structures and materials, which cost a lot of money."

"?"

A big question mark flashed through Zeng Wenjie's mind, and then he remembered the name. Feng Xiao said that he had met this big shot with his father back then.

Moreover, this tycoon has also invested in Tencent and Alibaba.

Zeng Xiangdong said, "If you want to donate, then donate. It's good to do some good deeds. When you're successful, you should help others!"

After finishing her meal, Han Yu pointed to a bag and said, "Your grandpa made you some fried whistles again. He specially asked me to bring them. Take them back to school to eat."

Mu Qingyang's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he felt a little disappointed when he realized that he didn't get to have one.

“She can handle spicy food now. Next time my grandpa cooks it, remember to ask him to cook a lot so we can share some with Xiao Mu,” Zeng Wenjie grinned.

"Little Mu, Little Mu, he's several months older than you!" Han Yu said irritably, tapping him on the head.

Han Yu had just learned from Mu Qingyang that she was born in the Year of the Rabbit, and that she had a rabbit's tail.

Zeng Wenjie, on the other hand, was born in the Year of the Dragon and was more than four months younger than Mu Qingyang.

Mu Qingyang puffed out her chest confidently and said, "That's right! You should call me 'sister'."

Zeng Wenjie gave him a gentlemanly gaze.

Mu Qingyang immediately shrank back, feeling guilty, and felt that his gaze was unusually intense, as if he could see through things.

Han Yu and Mu Qingyang exchanged phone numbers, and Han Yu whispered, "Little Mu, if he bullies you or treats you badly in the future, just call me and tell me. I'll deal with him!"

"Okay, thank you, Auntie!" Mu Qingyang said.

When Zeng Wenjie heard this, he thought, "Well, they're all siding with outsiders. The whole family is going to be captivated by Xiao Mu. They're all worried that he'll bully them!"

Little did he know, he was the one being bullied, silently enduring several over-the-shoulder throws.

Zeng Xiangdong smiled and said, "You guys go back to school. Your studies are the most important thing. You don't need to worry too much about the shop. I'll keep an eye on things."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Come on, take me to 208 for tutoring!"

Then, he gritted his teeth and said to Mu Qingyang, "Sister!"
