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

The group returned to the village, and it was already evening.

Ye Chen made a profit of over ten thousand in just one day.

Now, he's a true ten-thousand-yuan household!

"Tian Cong, Li Yan, you two stay here. I have something to discuss with you."

In the courtyard, Ye Chen suddenly spoke seriously.

Seeing this scene, the three women quickly returned to their room.

"We used to say that hunting wasn't the right path for Ye Chen, but now it seems we were completely blind. Ye Chen is simply born for this!"

"Stop talking. This kid's really shining lately, he's way better than us."

"By the way, I heard on the way here that Ye Chen is involved in some big business deal. Do you guys know what it's about?"

"Who cares? I don't care anymore. All I need to know is that Ye Chen has me in his heart!"

The three women huddled together, chattering away.

In the end, Tian Xiaohui picked up her book and went straight to her desk.

As she turned the pages, Tian Xiaohui's senses were amplified.

It felt as if everything around me was going backwards, as if time had turned back to the past!

I returned to campus and to my desk.

Ye Chen went to great lengths to please her, even promising, "You love learning, I'll support your education from now on!"

"I'll pay for your college tuition. I'll support you in anything you want to do!"

A tear slid down her cheek, pulling Tian Xiaohui back to reality.

She pursed her lips, and time resumed.

But our original aspiration remains unchanged!

"Jiali, Luo Ling, you two can compete from now on. I need to focus on my studies."

Tian Xiaohui suddenly spoke without turning her head, and Qian Jiali and Luo Ling looked surprised upon hearing this.

"Aren't you afraid that Ye Chen will marry either of us and then kick you out?"

"I used to be afraid, but I'm not anymore. As long as Ye Chen has me in his heart, that's enough. Even if he really gets married, he won't kick me out!"

Tian Xiaohui smiled and said, "He's changed. He will help me fulfill my dream and keep his promise."

"So, I need to do my best!"

After saying this, Tian Xiaohui lowered her head and looked at the book.

No matter how the two sisters tried to persuade him, he remained unmoved.

……

In the courtyard.

Tian Cong suddenly leaned forward and winked at Ye Chen.

"Brother, it's late already. You have a beautiful wife at home, why aren't you doing your job? What's the meaning of keeping us here?"

"I understand. Is there really something you're having trouble saying?"

"Take my advice, look around, this can't be delayed!"

"Pooh!"

Ye Chen spat in annoyance before speaking seriously.

"I called you two here mainly because of those shops. Li Yan, I've taken over a few shops on Factory Street..."

Ye Chen briefly explained the matter, and Li Yan's mouth dropped open.

"Brother Ye Chen, if you're saying each shop costs five thousand yuan, and there are at least twenty shops there, wouldn't that be over ten thousand yuan?"

"We were lucky this time, making over ten thousand dollars, but we can't be this lucky every time!"

"So, I didn't call you here. There's something that will be resolved by the end of the year, but we need to plan ahead, so I was wondering if either of you could lend a hand!"

Ye Chen explained, then stated explicitly, "I need someone to help me rent a plot of land and buy a large quantity of clivia plants!"

"We must take good care of these clivia plants before the end of the year!"

"By the end of the year, these things will be incredibly valuable. As long as we buy enough clivia plants of good quality, we'll make enough money to take over all these shops!"

In Ye Chen's memory, 84 was an exceptionally crazy year.

The biggest change has been in the price of Clivia!

At that time, Ye Chen had not yet made his fortune, but he still remembered the frenzy of buying up clivia!

Before 84, the price of Clivia was always restricted, with a maximum of no more than 200 yuan per pot.

Even the best quality ones won't cost more than a thousand yuan.

However, a major event occurred at the end of October.

When Chunshi City in Jilin Province designated Clivia as its city flower in October, the price of Clivia began to skyrocket!

A high-quality clivia plant can fetch a price of over 100,000 yuan.

At the time, it was even called green gold!

Now that it's the end of August, according to the time Ye Chen agreed with those merchants, it will definitely be enough to pay the final payment in December!

Now is the perfect time to buy Clivia miniata at a low price.

Wait until the end of November to sell at the peak, and the profits will be beyond your imagination!

"Brother Ye Chen, my dad knows about clivia. There are a lot of these in my yard. The old man loves to play with them. I remember when I was a kid, he would hit me if I touched his treasures!" Li Yan said.

This statement made Ye Chen's eyes light up.

Clivia plants are extremely difficult to select and cultivate, and the biggest challenge is for laymen.

Originally, Ye Chen planned to have one of Tian Cong and Li Yan specifically study this material.

Now it seems there is a ready-made candidate.

Old Li has been cultivating clivia for over ten years, so he definitely understands the ins and outs of it.

Moreover, after being rescued from the mountains by the crowd last time, Old Man Li had already declared that he would never go back into the mountains again.

Now I'm unemployed at home, and I'm so bored I'm getting restless.

Finding something for the elderly to do can help them pass the time!

"In that case, I'll go talk to the old man myself!"

At that moment, Ye Chen made up his mind and gave his decision.

The group headed straight for the Li family's house.

……

After a short while, like drinking a cup of tea.

In the Li family courtyard, old man Li smiled as he smoked his pipe and fiddled with the clivia in front of him.

Seeing Ye Chen return with his son, her heart tightened immediately.

"Have you guys been alright these past few days?"

"Father, let me tell you..." Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward and recounted his experiences in Savage Valley.

Finally, he pulled out 300 yuan and boasted, "Dad, this is the first money I've earned. I'm definitely going to give it to you. Your son is doing well now. From now on, you can stay home and take care of things. Leave the money-making to me!"

"This..." Old Man Li's face turned red.

Hearing that Ye Chen earned tens of thousands of yuan from just one trip into the mountains, they found it hard to believe.

With his own son as guarantor, it couldn't be faked.

Compared to what he had gained from his trip into the mountains, Old Man Li felt that all those years before had been a complete waste!

"Ye Chen, the fact that you were able to save Li Yan's life proves that I didn't misjudge you."

"The future belongs to you, I'm getting old!"

"Uncle, I came here today to discuss something with you. You're not old at all; you can still contribute a lot!"

Ye Chen offered some compliments, explained the matter clearly, and finally, in front of Old Man Li, took out a stack of ten-yuan notes from his waist bag.

A full thousand sheets, which adds up to exactly ten thousand yuan!

"Uncle, this is the start-up capital. As long as you help me grow some clivia, whatever is rare or precious, we'll grow it."

"Don't you like these things? They're a good way to kill time."

"By the end of the year, whatever profits you make from the clivia, I'll give you a share of the profits; I guarantee you won't lose out!"
