Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

In late November, the temperature in Tuocheng was already a bit chilly. Early in the morning, the area in front of the Chen family's old house became lively. Today was the day that Zhang Yi, Zeng Xia, Chen Lianxiang, and Elena were going to Huadu, the provincial capital.

They had originally planned to go two days earlier, but due to the family division, they had to postpone it by two days. The four of them were now dragging their suitcases, with the children following behind them, shouting and yelling.

"Mom, please let me go with you," Chen Huiqin pleaded, following behind Zeng Xia. "I've never been to Huadu before."

"Your final exams are coming up soon, and you're still not focused. If you don't do well, forget about going to Huadu, I won't even let your Aunt Yi take you to America during winter break." No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Zeng Xia knew exactly what her daughter was thinking at this moment. Now that she's grown up and the family's financial situation has improved, her heart is starting to wander.

"Oh, oh, oh, we're going to Huadu!" Xiao Rongguo and Xiao Chenhui, carrying their little schoolbags, ran past their older sister Chen Huiqin, laughing and joking. Xiao Chenhui pulled open the back door of the "Dilu" car, and the two little rascals huffed and puffed as they climbed up with their butts sticking out.

Chen Huiqin couldn't go with them this time, and seeing Rongguo and Chen Hui's smug smiles, she was furious. She went up and picked Rongguo, who had finally managed to climb onto the back seat of the car, and took him down.

"Rongguo, you're not allowed to go. Stay home with your older sister," Chen Huiqin said haughtily, hugging little Rongguo. Rongguo, who had been sticking his bottom out, was now airborne. Hearing his older sister's words, he cried out, "I don't want to! I don't want to stay home with my older sister! I want to go to Huadu to see the fashion show!"

The other mischievous kids, who were also studying, came over laughing and tugging at Rongguo, shouting, "Rongguo isn't going! Auntie, don't let Rongguo go!"

Little Huiyi, who was being led by Zhang Yi, saw her older siblings playing and started flailing her limbs and yelling. Little Rongguo, being pulled along by his older siblings, panicked and desperately shouted to his brother Chen Hui, "Brother, I don't want to stay at home! I want to go to the fashion show with you!"

"My little brother is coming with me to the fashion show, hurry up and get him in the car!" Xiao Chenhui shouted anxiously in the car. Without his little brother to accompany him, even if the models actually fell down on the runway, Xiao Chenhui felt it was no fun.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, or Rongguo will cry," Aunt Chen Lianxiang came over to stop her nephews and nieces from playing around. After finally breaking free from the clutches of his older siblings, little Rongguo ran up to Elena, grabbed her leg, and started complaining his grievances.

"Mommy Elena, my brothers and sisters are so mean! I'm never going to be friends with them again!"

Elena giggled, patted Rongguo's head, picked him up, and placed him in the back seat of the car. She comforted him in broken Tuocheng dialect, "Your older brother and sister were just teasing you. Boys should be magnanimous!"

"snort!"

Xiao Rongguo crossed his arms and turned his head away angrily. Elena fastened the seat belts for the two little ones, then closed the car door and sat in the passenger seat. Everyone else got into their respective cars as well. Zeng Xia and Chen Lianxiang each drove one car, taking Zhang Yi and the four female security guards who were accompanying them.

Three "Dilu" cars, one black and two silver-gray, drove out of Lianzhai and turned onto Nanzhao Highway, heading towards Tuocheng Military and Civilian Airport in the city. At the airport, Chen Dong's private plane had been waiting for a long time.

The three cars drove directly onto the tarmac. After everyone boarded the plane and settled in, Zhang Yi noticed that Zeng Xia was a little nervous. Knowing that this was Zeng Xia's first time flying, she comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Da Mu, once the plane takes off, it will feel just like being on the ground."

"Sister-in-law, are you nervous about flying?" Chen Lianxiang said with a smile. "It's okay, you'll get used to it after you fly more often."

Zeng Xia tightened her seatbelt, let out a breath, and said, "This is my first time flying, so I don't know what it will feel like. Of course I'm nervous. I asked your older brother what it feels like to fly, and he told me that after takeoff, you'll float in the air and fly with the plane."

"Giggle!" Chen Lianxiang covered her mouth and laughed. Her older brother was too naughty. Her sister-in-law did whatever her brother said. How could she be floating in the air? "Sister-in-law, my brother was just kidding you. Once we take off, it will be as stable as if we were on the ground."

Xiao Rongguo and Xiao Chenhui, two lively brothers, sandwiched Xiao Huiyi in the middle. Xiao Huiyi sat in her car seat, and each of her two brothers had a bell. This amused Xiao Huiyi so much that she kept turning her head left and right, but couldn't reach the bells. Frustrated, she kept slapping the table of the car seat.

The flight attendants came over and quietly reminded Zhang Yi and the others that the plane was about to begin its takeoff. After checking everyone's seatbelts, the plane slowly started moving, its speed increasing until it soared into the sky.

In Huadu, the Angel Company staff arrived a week in advance to set up the venue. This time, Angel Company went all out and booked an entire venue, showcasing not only clothing, shoes, bags, and cosmetics, but also a fashion lingerie show.

Inside the venue, Chen Lianxiang, dressed in a smart black business suit with a name tag indicating her title of "General Manager" hanging on her chest, was constantly directing the temporarily recruited staff to set up the runway for tomorrow's fashion show.

"Mr. Chen, where should we put these flowers?"

Chen Lianxiang turned around and pointed to both sides of the T-stage, saying, "Place them under the entrances and exits, and have the lighting technician put the spotlights there as well. I want to see the effect first."

"Mr. Chen, the models have all gone backstage. Would you like to go and take a look?"

"I'm not going. You can tell Director Elena that she's in the backstage dressing room," Chen Lianxiang said. She was so busy that staff members from the venue kept coming over to ask for her opinion.

"Hurry up and get the workers to set up the tables and chairs quickly, according to the blueprints."

Zeng Xia and Zhang Yi sat on the side watching their sister-in-law, Chen Lianxiang, constantly directing and giving orders. Zhang Yi whispered to Zeng Xia, "Auntie, I think Auntie has the air of a strong woman. You see, she always says she's afraid she won't be able to handle things well in front of us, but once she starts directing people, she's very organized and efficient. I feel at ease entrusting my angel to her."

Zeng Xia teased Xiao Huiyi, who was being held in Zhang Yi's arms, "Auntie is actually a very opinionated person. Once she makes up her mind about something, nothing can change it. Her personality is actually the same as her brothers'."

"So, if that's what you're saying, then Tony is the same way. Once he's made up his mind about something, he's determined to achieve something. Back in school, besides being nicknamed 'Mr. One Hundred Million,' his classmates also gave him the nickname 'Stubborn Ox,' hehe!"

"We're all from the same boat, all brothers have the same personality," Zeng Xia said with a smile, shaking her head. Suddenly, she asked Zhang Yi, "Xiao Yi, do you think we can get a great start at this Canton Fair?"

"Of course we can! With the quality of our Angel's clothing, even if no one places an order, just making the brand a success is still a success," Zhang Yi said, squeezing her daughter's chubby little hand. "Daddy, our Angel is a high-end luxury brand, not some roadside stall item. Brand promotion is our top priority!"
