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

Chen Zaixing got more and more excited as he thought about it. He couldn't help but cross his legs on the sofa, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his eyes narrowed. He could almost see the factory managers of the three television factories in Shanghai lining up to beg him, only to be resolutely rejected one by one.

Just thinking about it is awesome!

"Fifth brother, what are you thinking about? Your mouth is practically stretched to your ears," Chen Zailong said, holding a teacup and looking at the grinning Chen Zaixing.

Chen Zaixing came to his senses and chuckled, "Fourth Brother, you don't know, back then when Afa and I went to Shanghai to beg three TV factories to supply our supermarket, those people were so arrogant. I knocked on their doors one by one with gifts, and they wouldn't even give me a second glance."

"Now, I'll show them what it means to have fortunes change every thirty years! I, Chen Zaixing, will strike at the heart of the matter and use 'Lotus' to crush those three state-owned television factories in Shanghai!"

Chen Xiangui listened from the side, holding his two adorable children, and couldn't help but shake his head. "Youngest son, you're just too vengeful. In business, harmony is the key to growth."

"wrong!"

Chen Zaixing shook his finger and said to his father, Chen Xiangui, "Dad, what era are you living in? Still valuing harmony? That's outdated. Doing business these days is all about life or death!"

"What kind of twisted logic is this? Who told you that?" Chen Xiangui said unhappily.

Chen Zaixing chuckled, "That's what your future son-in-law, Lin Qingsheng, told me. He also said that the winner takes all, and I think there's some truth to what he said."

Chen Dong tilted his head, a thoughtful smile on his face, while Chen Xiangui and the others frowned as they looked at Chen Zaixing. "Who is Lin Qingsheng?"

"Hehe, you can ask A-Dong, he knows better than me," Chen Zaixing directly steered the conversation toward Chen Dong.

Instead of filling the hole, they changed the subject. Chen Dong had no choice but to explain, "Qingsheng is my general manager at America Huadongsheng Supermarket. He's a year younger than Sister Lianxiang. He's still unmarried. He and Sister Lianxiang got to know each other for a while, and they probably hit it off. They've been in contact ever since."

Chen Lianxiang stayed in New York for a year. Lin Qingsheng often invited Chen Lianxiang out to dinner after work. Zhang Yi had mentioned this to Chen Dong at the time, and Chen Lianxiang was not particularly averse to Lin Qingsheng's invitations. The two continued to keep in touch by phone.

Chen Zaixing found out about this when he went to "Angel" and overheard Chen Lianxiang and Lin Qingsheng talking on the phone. His sister was speaking softly to Lin Qingsheng, and Chen Zaixing felt that there was something going on. After some questioning, Chen Lianxiang finally revealed the truth.

"How far have things progressed between those two?" Huang Lanzhi walked in. She was actually eager for her daughter to remarry. Chen Lianxiang was only thirty-two years old this year, and she was living alone in the prime of her life. What mother could bear to let her daughter live out her life like this?

"They're probably mutually attracted. You'll have to ask Sister Lianxiang for details," Chen Dong said with a smile. "But in a while, Qingsheng will be coming to Tuocheng. I'll have Sister Lianxiang bring him home for you to meet."

"What's your character like?"

Chen Xiangui was clearly more concerned about Lin Qingsheng's character. It was obvious that Liu Guomin, his former son-in-law, left Chen Xiangui with lingering fears. Chen Xiangui didn't care about Lin's family background now; he was only concerned about whether Lin would treat Lianxiang well.

"He's a very helpful person, Uncle, don't worry. Qingsheng was personally promoted by Grandpa to be the general manager. Over the years, I've always entrusted Qingsheng with managing Huadong Sheng Company, and there haven't been any financial problems. Moreover, he's a top student who graduated from a prestigious university," Chen Dong said, praising Lin Qingsheng.

Chen Zaiguang looked at his father, Chen Xiangui, then at his mother, Huang Lanzhi, and asked Chen Dong, "Does he know that Lianxiang has three children? Would he accept being a stepfather to three children?"

"Hahaha," Chen Dongguan laughed, "Brother, you don't understand the situation in America. Qingsheng grew up in America. The divorce rate in America is very high. Americans rarely resist the idea of ​​raising children and forming new families."

"In America, children leave home when they turn eighteen. True love between husband and wife lasts a lifetime. Children are just an educational experience in their lives. Qingsheng doesn't mind these things."

Chen Xiangui and Huang Lanzhi exchanged a glance. Chen Xiangui asked Chen Dong, "If Lianxiang and Qingsheng really get together, Lianxiang will have to go live with them in America. My three grandsons will also have to go there. I really can't bear to part with them."

"Uncle, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. When Sister Lianxiang brings Qingsheng over to our house, you can ask them what their plans are, right?" Chen Dong didn't want to be too specific; it was best for the people involved to say it themselves.

Chen Zaixing sat with his legs crossed, a cigarette dangling from his lips, speaking with the air of someone who'd been there all along, "Dad, Mom, don't worry about it. You know what kind of person my sister is. If she takes a liking to someone, do you think you can persuade her to stay?"

Huang Lanzhi glared at him, "You talk too much."

The group chatted in the lobby for a while longer before leaving to return to their companies to get back to work. Since Chen Zaiguang had made up his mind to open a "Kende Chicken" restaurant, he had to take care of the remaining issues at the Jinbu canteen.

He also needed to talk to his apprentices. Chen Zaiguang planned to call them up after get off work tonight and take them to a state-run restaurant for a meal, as a farewell dinner for him and his apprentices.

Chen Zaiguang drove to Jinbu. The workers in the canteen had already finished their meals, and the cleaning ladies were washing dishes in the kitchen. Seeing Chen Zaiguang, Lin Zhende, who was planning to take a short rest, quickly got up and said, "Master, why are you here at this time?"

"Where's your eldest brother? Call the other junior brothers over. Master has something to say to you all," Chen Zaiguang said, offering Lin Zhende a cigarette. Lin Zhende accepted the Peony cigarette from his master, flattered. "Master, I'll go to the dormitory and call them over right away."

A short while later, Huang Wentao jogged into the canteen, his face still wet. Lin Zhende and several other apprentices followed. Chen Zaiguang sat on a stool, pointed to the stools in front of him, and said to them, "Sit down, I have something to say to you."

After they were all seated, Chen Zaiguang got straight to the point, saying, "Master, I'm planning to resign and open my own shop."

"what!"

"No, Master, what will we do if you leave?"

"Yes, Master."

Huang Wentao already knew the news and wasn't surprised. Lin Zhende and his four other apprentices all looked at Chen Zaiguang in shock. "Master, where are you going to open a shop? Is it a restaurant? We'd like to learn cooking from you."

"Master, this time I'm opening a Western fast food restaurant, fried chicken legs and stuff, there's not much that requires cooking skills. All the cooking skills you've learned over the years by following me will be wasted."
