"..."

I'm so excited just thinking about it.

The capital city—a place many people never see in their entire lives.

If they had stayed in the village all their lives, they would never have been able to come here. They had heard about it since they were young, but they could only come after they grew up and became successful.

Everyone is excited right now.

Tiger has been to Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Then they started bragging: "Actually, it's not that scary. You just have to stay true to yourself. Big cities have so many temptations. Some of them are even standing naked in front of you, wow!"

"That's terrifying; one wrong move and you could lose your virginity."

Shuanzi and Shengzi quickly hugged themselves, saying, "No, really?"

"Does such a thing really exist? Don't scare me."

"Seriously, last time Fei wanted to switch rooms with me. He didn't say anything. He knew he had to send me over to be tested so he could sleep soundly in my room."

Everyone listened with great interest as Hu Zi began to play.

I don't know how the conversation went off-topic later.

"You know, our Fei-ge is really a good man, he can remain unmoved even with a woman in his lap."

“I probably couldn’t do that, I just love beautiful women,” Zhao Zhao said. “I just want to give every beautiful woman a home.”

"Isn't that right? It's always good for a man to be gentle and considerate towards women."

The others all looked down on it.

Especially Shuanzi: "I just like Wang Mei, that spirited look, and the way I only feel comfortable with her. We're a match made in heaven, you know?"

"..."

What started as a pleasant conversation gradually turned into something to brag about.

Katsuko, who had no boyfriend, fell silent.

Now, as long as he wants to make more money, he thinks that even moving bricks in Beijing is impressive. He thinks that when he returns home in glory, Xia Lan will come back!

Thinking about it now, I'm full of energy.

Chen Yifei laughed and said, "Get some rest for the night. No matter how many beautiful women and money you want, nothing beats a good night's sleep."

Zhao Zhao sighed: "Your wife is so beautiful, why would you need to think about anything!"

"Human joys and sorrows are all different. Who wouldn't want a happy family like yours?"

Chen Yifei laughed: "Then I miss my wife. I only have one wife, and there's nothing you can do about it if you're envious."

What is his wife doing right now? Is she wandering around the house at this hour, or studying English words with the kids, or studying diligently?

This time when I go back, it will be almost like I'll be taking the college entrance exam with my wife.

Chen Yifei thought that he would buy some books one day and study them in the evening.

Even with a good foundation from a previous life, one shouldn't be too reckless.

I want to spend my whole life holding hands with my wife and taking walks on campus.

Tsk tsk.

He remembered how he envied young couples holding hands and kissing in his past life, and he imagined himself becoming one of those young people.

I was so happy!

...

The next morning.

Chen Yifei led everyone to stroll around Qianmen Dashilan.

The reason I came here is because the Qianmen Dashilan commercial district is currently an undeveloped commercial area, and even somewhat resembles a suburban area.

This was one of the first pilot zones for the individual economy, and also the first area to issue individual business licenses. He seems to have started with a restaurant; he still remembers it perfectly.

Let alone waiting for the future, even now, when a few people walk together, it's always bustling with people, there are people everywhere, you can't see the end of the line, and it's all too common to see people crowding together like this.

Chen Yifei looked at Hu Zi and said, "You take these guys with you and make sure they don't get separated. Make sure they stay with you."

"There are many pickpockets, so it's best to keep your money in your inner pockets. Don't take it out."

"Yeah, don't worry, Fei-ge. I sewed a pocket inside my underwear to hold money and keep out pickpockets."

"Wow, Shengzi, you're amazing! I'm embarrassed to put things in that pocket; it just doesn't feel proper to carry things around like that." Hu Zi gave a thumbs up, full of admiration.

"You only know how respectable you are when you have no money."

Chen Yifei nodded, "Place it anywhere, just don't let it get stolen."

These days, pickpockets are everywhere, you could easily find ten every ten steps, or even a hundred, especially in crowded places. You might not even realize when you've been robbed.

Even now, thinking back on it, I realize how difficult this kind of thing was.

When traveling far from home for the first time, money, ID card, and a letter of introduction are of utmost importance.

None of them can be careless.

After wandering around for a while, I bought a roasted sweet potato and sat down in the alley to eat it.

"How's it going, Fei-ge? I've looked around and I still can't figure it out."

"What are we going to do? Are we going to tell Deng Yitong what we're doing, buying goods and selling them at a profit? We have plenty of resources!"

"That's right, Fei-ge, we can run very fast carrying things."

Chen Yifei shook his head: "No, I was thinking of renting or buying a shop and then decorating it to use as our shop."

"It's what you meant when you were in the village, running a hotel."

“Yes,” Chen Yifei nodded. “You said that the most difficult place to stay during your time here was the hotel, right? It’s particularly troublesome because there’s nowhere to stay.”

“Yes.” He nodded.

"That is indeed the problem."

"When we opened here, we didn't initially target the high-end market, because wealthy people don't lack places to live."

"We run a small hotel to provide accommodation for those who need it."

"There are many people here, and many of them are carrying luggage. We could set up a luggage storage area."

"When I was walking around earlier, I saw a dilapidated house that looked pretty good. The people inside must have just moved out. So I thought we should go and give it a try."

Katsuko nodded: "Should we rent a place first?"

"If we can buy it, our housing problem will be solved, and we can also start the house renovation."

"Of course, buying might require the right timing; renting a shop for now is also an option."

No matter what he does, he always has two plans and is prepared for both.

As soon as Chen Yifei finished speaking, Malay arrived.

"I heard everything!"

"Your plan is pretty good."

Chen Yifei then noticed that Malay had set up a stall here today!

This mobile stall is really impressive.

"Teacher Ma, I thought you had settled down in Panjiayuan."

"Hehe." Malay rested his chin on his hand: "We really do have a connection. I even suspect that you came here to follow me."

"But judging from your discussion now, it seems to have nothing to do with this old man."

Chen Yifei smiled and said, "That's true."

"However, I really want to open a shop that buys back treasures with you. I'll be in charge of the business, and you can be in charge of the appraisal. Together, we'd be a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

Malaysians felt that this kid was just spouting nonsense.
