I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Jiang Chen spoke with great pride and confidence.

Wang Xiuying, however, took it as him trying to cheer her up, shook her head helplessly, and continued eating her glutinous rice balls.

Jiang Chen wasn't joking.

He picked up his phone again, scrolled through his contacts, and dialed Wang Dagou's number.

It was late at night, and Wang Dagou was fast asleep when his cell phone rang, waking him up. He answered it groggily.

"Hey? Brother Chen? What time is it? It's the middle of the night, what's up?"

Wang Dagou's voice was heavy with sleepiness.

"Dog, wake up, we have work to do."

Jiang Chen's voice was clear and powerful, carrying an unquestionable command.

"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and I'm going to turn our Jiangjia Village into the brightest 'city that never sleeps' in the whole county!"

Wang Dagou suddenly jolted awake, his sleepiness instantly vanishing.

"Huh? The City That Never Sleeps? Brother Chen, are you drunk?"

He rubbed his eyes, trying to clear his head.

"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, where can I buy light bulbs now? Is it too late?"

"Who said they bought light bulbs?"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, his voice tinged with smugness.

"I want to buy lanterns! Big red lanterns! And colorful lanterns too, the kind with starry skies!"

"You, right now, immediately, contact the drivers at the logistics station and get all our trucks ready."

"We're going on a big shopping spree first thing tomorrow morning!"

Wang Dagou was completely dumbfounded after hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Big red lanterns? Colorful lights? And another big purchase?

He could hardly believe his ears.

But Jiang Chen's tone left no room for argument.

"Brother Chen, are you...are you serious?"

Wang Dagou stammered as he asked.

"nonsense!"

Jiang Chen's voice was tinged with laughter.

"You think I'm joking? Go now!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen opened WeChat and found a contact named "Boss of Lighting Wholesale Market".

This is the phone number he left when he renovated his house last time.

Without saying a word, he dialed the other party's number.

On the other end of the phone, the boss's voice came through, sounding heavy with sleep.

"Feed? Who is this? It's the middle of the night, can't a person get any sleep?"

The boss clearly didn't recognize Jiang Chen's number, and his tone was very impatient.

"I am Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen gave his name without any further formalities.

"Jiang Chen from Jiangjia Village, Jiangning County".

"Oh, it's Boss Jiang!"

The boss obviously remembered, and his tone instantly became more enthusiastic.

Last time, Jiang Chen placed a big order with him, buying the most expensive crystal chandeliers on the market and some strange and unusual custom-made lamps.

He's a god of wealth.

"Boss Jiang, it's so late, what can I do for you?"

"It's not really about giving orders."

Jiang Chen smiled and got straight to the point.

"Boss, let me ask you something: I'm buying all the waterproof red lanterns in your warehouse."

"And those colorful lights that wrap around trees, like baby's breath, I want as many as you can."

"I don't care what method you use, deliver it to me first thing tomorrow morning, tonight!"

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the boss thought he was still asleep, or that he had encountered a scam call.

In the middle of the night, someone orders the entire warehouse and wants to deliver goods overnight?

Is this person crazy?

"Bro, it's the middle of the night... how much... how much do you want?"

The boss's voice trembled slightly, clearly startled by Jiang Chen's bold tone.

"Let's start with a thousand lanterns and colored lights."

Jiang Chen did not hesitate at all.

"I need the largest and brightest model, waterproof, sunproof, and windproof/snowproof."

"The same goes for the colored lights; they should be the longest and brightest."

"Price is not a problem, I'll pay in cash, and double the express fee."

Upon hearing the words "double the cash," the boss's drowsiness vanished instantly.

"What?! Double the cash?!"

He sprang from the bed, his voice distorted.

"Boss Jiang, you...you're not joking, are you?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Jiang Chen asked indifferently.

The boss dared not have the slightest doubt.

The God of Wealth has spoken; it's real gold and silver!

"Boss, please wait a moment! I'll go open the warehouse right away!"

The boss's voice was full of excitement and ingratiation.

"I'll wake up all the workers who are still sleeping right away, and we'll prepare, pack, and load your goods onto the truck tonight!"

"We guarantee delivery to Jiangjia Village before sunrise tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen looked at the night sky with satisfaction.

He could almost see the brightly lit Jiangjia Village tomorrow.

Wang Xiuying listened to Jiang Chen's phone call. Although she couldn't hear the specific content, she vaguely heard words like "buying lanterns" and "delivering goods".

She was about to say that the child was wasting money again.

Jiang Chen, however, went over first and added another bowl of glutinous rice balls for her.

"Mom, don't worry, this is part of our company's 'corporate culture building'."

Jiang Chen spoke in a relaxed tone, with a hint of serious nonsense.

"To enhance employees' sense of belonging and happiness, the company decided to give employees a benefit during the Lantern Festival by carrying out a lighting project in the village."

"This is a legitimate company expense and is eligible for reimbursement."

Wang Xiuying's eyes lit up immediately when she heard the words "reimbursement".

"Reimbursement? Can it really be reimbursed?"

Although she knew in her heart that these so-called "company expenses" and "reimbursements" were ultimately paid for with her own son's money.

But it sounded like it wasn't wasting money, but a legitimate investment, which made me feel much better.

"Alright, since it's reimbursable, let's make it look nice!"

Wang Xiuying nodded immediately, her tone becoming more assertive.

"But the lanterns have to be hung high, so those naughty kids in the village can't reach them!"
