Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

"Dad, you have no idea, after Luo Guanzhong met that Boss Qin, not only did he kick me out, but he even started to look at Ye Chen with new respect!"

"That Boss Qin went too far, even mentioning my grandfather's name; he clearly doesn't respect me at all!"

At the Zhang family ancestral home in the provincial capital, Zhang Shaoyang kept complaining to his father.

Zhang Heng, the father, had a gloomy expression and spoke up with a warning.

"This Boss Qin has been doing incredibly well these past two years. He might have been able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Zhang family before, but now, the Zhang family is indeed inferior to him!"

"If you see Boss Qin again, you'd better keep a low profile. Otherwise, you might attract retaliation, and it won't be worth it!"

"Dad, what should we do about Luo Ling?" Zhang Shaoyang asked with a worried expression.

"We can't just let this go, can we? We've been planning this for ages!"

"Only when a person is in dire straits will they understand the value of helping in times of need. Our help now is merely adding to their already good fortune. Only when the Luo family is truly on the verge of destruction will our assistance be considered a true act of kindness!"

Zhang Heng explained meaningfully, "I know Luo Guanzhong's character well. He was demoted for two years before, and now his power is much less than before, so he certainly won't be willing to accept it."

"Luo Guanzhong will definitely make a move soon. Go and find out where the Luo family plans to invest their funds, and then we'll discuss it further!"

"Dad, I understand. You're trying to sabotage things behind the scenes. If Luo Jia's investment goes down the drain, then we'll be able to control her at will." Zhang Shaoyang smiled, finally understanding his father's good intentions.

The immediate priority is to make arrangements for leaving.

……

the other side.

Ye Chen chatted with Boss Qin and Luo Guanzhong for a long time. After Ye Chen left, Boss Qin raised an eyebrow at Luo Guanzhong.

"Your son-in-law is probably no ordinary person. If what he said can really come true by the end of the year, the power behind this kid is probably far beyond what you and I can imagine!"

Remembering Ye Chen's earlier claim that he had powerful backers, Boss Qin said solemnly.

Luo Guanzhong laughed and said, "Brother Qin, there's still more than a month until the end of the year, so things aren't settled yet. We'll see when the time comes."

On the surface, Luo Guanzhong appeared calm and collected, but in his heart he had already made up his mind to let his daughter have contact with Ye Chen during the period before the end of the year.

After all, he had already decided to invest in the Clivia that Ye Chen had mentioned.

The saying goes, "If you employ someone, don't doubt them; if you don't trust someone, don't employ them." Now that we've boarded this ship, we must see it through to the end!

However, one should always have a backup plan. If by the end of the year his investment goes down the drain, then Luo Ling, as his daughter, will be his biggest asset to turn things around!

"This time, I've made two preparations. If we lose money, it proves that Ye Chen's claim of having powerful backers is false. Then I can marry my daughter into the Zhang family and make a comeback!"

Luo Guanzhong pondered in his heart, a sly smile spreading across his face.

……

In the following days, at Luo Ling's request, Ye Chen and the others decided to stay in the provincial capital.

I finally got to enjoy some relaxing time!

Having lived two lives, Ye Chen finally let go of all burdens and enjoys life with the three women he loves most!

It's so lively and fun to enjoy the scenery!

After three days of inquiries, Zhang Shaoyang had figured out Luo Guanzhong's movements.

He introduced himself to his father, saying, "Dad, I've found out. Luo Guanzhong is planning to sell all his factories and has even announced that he wants to buy up large quantities of clivia plants!"

"I think he's not planning to do business anymore, he's planning to grow flowers instead. Does he think he can turn his life around with this stuff?"

"Clivia?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng frowned slightly, remained silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly gave a cold laugh.

"Here's what we'll do: go tell Lao Luo that he doesn't need to sell his factories. He can leave them with me as collateral. I'm willing to give him 40 yuan as his start-up capital. Also, I happen to have connections here. If he wants any clivia plants, he can come to me!"

"Dad, what do you mean by sending him money at this time?" Zhang Shaoyang was completely puzzled.

Zhang Heng explained, "This money isn't just for free. I'll sign an agreement with him later. If he can't repay the money by the end of the year, all his factory buildings will be mine!"

"I had someone estimate beforehand that his assets are worth at least 60 yuan. So, we can get a 20 yuan discount!"

"As for the person who introduced him, it's just a way to give him a ride. You said it yourself, you can't make money off clivia plants. Since he's courting death, I'm more than happy for him!"

"Dad, you're really something! As long as Luo Guanzhong uses all the money we lent him to buy clivia plants, he's guaranteed to lose money by the end of the year. Then all of the Luo family's assets will be ours. With that leverage, Luo Ling will have no choice but to marry me!"

As Zhang Shaoyang finished speaking, he clenched his fist tightly, his face contorted in a grimace.

"After I marry Luo Ling, I'll deal with that brat Ye Chen properly!"

"He has insulted me more than once, and he even used Zhang Jian'an's name to target me before. I will fight him to the death; this is not over!"

……

After confirming that everything was safe, Tian Cong returned to the village first, claiming that he would help Ye Chen keep an eye on the old house.

At the end of November, Tian Cong suddenly sent a telegram.

Something's happened in the village; Ye Chen needs to get back as soon as possible!

"What on earth is going on? It's almost the end of the year, why are they suddenly causing trouble at this time?" Luo Ling couldn't help but complain when she heard the news.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, knew the situation perfectly and patiently explained his experience of telling the villagers that clivia could bring them wealth as compensation.

"Now that the time I'm supposed to say is almost here, the villagers are naturally worried, afraid that I'll run away before then!"

"Tian Cong must have been unable to withstand such immense pressure, which is why he had no choice but to call me!"

"What should we do? Do we really have to go back?" For her own selfish reasons, Luo Ling naturally didn't want to go back to the village.

In her plan, the best time would be by the end of the year, when her father would make a fortune based on the information provided by Ye Chen.

In that case, a group of people might as well just stay!

But the sudden change has disrupted the original plan, and Ye Chen immediately expressed his opinion.

"I still have a batch of my goods stuck there, I have to go back, besides, that's where my roots are!"

"Alright then, I'll go with you!" Luo Ling sighed and said.

A warm feeling welled up in Ye Chen's heart.

Immediately, Ye Chen bid farewell to Luo Guanzhong, explained the situation in the village, and after receiving his permission, he returned with Luo Ling and the others that same day.

Back in the village, when we arrived at the old house, we saw that the planned three-story building was already taking shape, with the second floor basically completed.

Just as Ye Chen was expressing his relief that he should be able to move into his new house before the end of the year.

Then a middle-aged man stepped forward and greeted Ye Chen with a smile.

"Good nephew, you're finally back!"
